THE FIRST INVESTIGATION

[Good Friday morning, everyone!

Ah, the sun is shini--no.

Well, the birds are singi--....no...

It's time to take a shower and--...oh.

It's...the bats are...cute....?




Ok, it's a dreary and miserable morning and everyone is annoyed that they are here and there's an infestation of spiders and creepy happenings and the Stewards are jerks and no one likes this place, ever. Fine. Be that way. So.

What is everyone doing?]

[Eric has got a proper spear with him today, the weapon he's always carried, courtesy of Franciscus' luck with paper spider prize roulette. If anyone took the bait and is willing to attack again, he'll be ready.

If there's nothing immediately visible outside the bedrooms, well. The servants' quarters are evidently cursed, but they're close, so he'll head there first.

Is there more blood? Maybe not in a bottle this time?]

[strangerpeople]

[Not at first glance. No cascading waterfalls of blood or anything!


Yay?]

[yonosoymaria]

[Well, he wasn't expecting a blood fountain, but... really, nothing?

Nothing up in the rafters? Nothing stuffed under a bed?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nothing in the rafters, nothing stuffed under a bed.

Perhaps Eric might benefit looking elsewhere for terrible, horrible, paranoid-inducing things this time.]

[yonosoymaria]

[It's an actual miracle!

He'll leave there and head for the bathrooms, such as they are. The boards could be lifted up - it's unlikely that if someone has been pitched into the garderobe there'll be much trace, but....]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, good news! No bodies stuck or otherwise stuffed in the toilet!]

[yonosoymaria]

[Right, then. Obviously (well, from this side of the fourth wall) there's nothing amiss in the arena, should he peek in there...

So. Downstairs, then. Jun's in the parlor, but... come to think of it, Eric still hasn't been into the sanctum, even once. No time like the present, right?

Anything creepier than usual?]

[strangerpeople]

[THERE'S A LOSER IN THERE!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]
