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?]

[hm... maybe nothing has happened, yet. he might be up early enough to stop it!

while others are checking out this floor, Osomatsu heads to the main staircase to look it over, and go down, taking his time]

[strangerpeople]

[Lots of spiders, lots of those weird threads, probably some dust...probably mold

you don't have rhinitis or environmental allergies anything do you? Because if it were me, I would be MISERABLE and there are no tissues to be had.]

[relieable]

[he's fine... as he sneezes. but he's keeping his eyes peeled, coming down the stairs.

Jun's in the parlor, so he goes around to the dining hall]

[strangerpeople]

[No dead bodies here! No random little girls under the table, either, because...you're probably checking for that aren't you]

[relieable]

[y...es...

but he is also looking for disturbed glasses, or dishes, or missing cutlery.

might as well move along. to the Sanctum?]

[yonosoymaria]

[That's a rather. Short. Ominous robed figure. Assuming, ofc, that Osomatsu is obeying House Rules and not just charging in -

Still, ominous robed figure in a room Eric - currently also ominously robed - wasn't expecting to be occupied? Yeah, that's five gray hairs he didn't have yesterday....]

Who's there?

[relieable]

[yeah, he's robed, he supposes. since those are the rules. he holds up his hands]

Whoa, whoa! It's just me. Osomatsu! I'm just checking this place out.

[yonosoymaria]

[Despite the mask and the robe, Eric's relief is visible. He doesn't slump too dramatically, but enough to make the robe swish around a bit.]

Thank God. I thought... well, I don't know what I was thinking, but... we had the same idea, it seems. Great minds, hm?

[And then there's a smile that could be either wry or somehow self-deprecating, but with the upper half of his face masked it's hard to tell.]

1/2

[relieable]

[great minds, huh? why, Eric, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to hi--]

[relieable]

[oh. was that a yell coming from the garden? Osomatsu jerks up, because he knows that voice]

F-Franciscus?

[he's pale, standing there for a moment, but then he rushes off. let's go, Eric! he's already running out and heading in that direction]
