THE SECOND INVESTIGATION

THE SECOND INVESTIGATION

[It's Friday once more. As the third week begins to near it's end, the tensions-and nightmares-among everyone is on the rise. It doesn't help that this is Friday-and Friday is shaping up to be a bad day of the week.

The question is whether this Friday will be any different from the last. Perhaps this Friday will be different. After all, the morning is over, and nothing happened yet!

But then, isn't that strange too? Maybe it would be better to look around. Just in case.]

Re: MUSIC ROOM

[necroyalty]

[Alright, alright. What's in this accursed place?]

[strangerpeople]

[The first thing Ambrosine will notice is the smell of something that's been burnt.]

[necroyalty]

[Alright, show her the roasty toasty]

[notadinosnack]

[Well, when Thanatos saw who was killed he definitely wanted to do something to help, but didn't want to be anywhere near the library. So he just kind of eventually ends up in the music room trying to see if he can find anything out of place here. So upon a first look what might draw his attention?]

[strangerpeople]

[That depends on where you are searching first. Where to in this place?]

[notadinosnack]

[Well, Ambrosine seems to have the instruments covered, so how about the area with the ornate chair?]

[relieable]

[so. that's why Osomatsu could not find Franciscus this afternoon.

not hearing who was murdered from the Stewards is a little worrying. Osomatsu feels nervous deep in his gut. he was going to stay out of the investigation today because of the week prior. but now...

he quickly moves to the garden, nervous. he needs to be careful. he needs to pay attention to the clues. what does he first notice when he arrives?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[He will notice that the water bucket is out of the well, for starters.]

[incendiarize]

[You know what I'm here for. Arthur takes a moment to brace himself.

Let's take a look at the past.]

VISION FROM THE PAST

[strangerpeople]

[It is darkness. You could have done something. You could have, truly. If you were so bent on it. But, in the end...you could not.

And now, now in this absolute darkness, you feel the death blow scissor up from below, and plunge right into your chest.

You try to breath, but you can't. Not when the one in front of you has ended your life; you can somehow see them staring at you with hatred even in the darkness. Because you know, as you fall down. Just from the wound you have just taken, from the sudden pain, the warmth you feel in your chest, you know.]

Ah...

[This will be fatal. This will kill you. Perhaps even now it's only appropriate that it's at their hands. After all, who are you to argue? You feel your life start to drain from you, and your lips move for the last time.]

Please...all I ask....tell-

[Then, with a gasp, suddenly Arthur is back from the brink of someone's death, having witnessed those moments. Catch your breath, Approach. We know it's a bit much.]

[icanhearscreams]

[He gathers up some stuff to get up and look at the chest wound.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[It's definitely a kill wound-straight into where the heart is.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Also, because it was evidence, basically, ya'll found the headless body on top of a bookcase.

Just so you all know.]

[inadequacyfeelings]

[While everyone else is crawling on the bookcase and examining the window, Zelda checks the ground. Looks like other than the trail of blood there's nothing on the bookcase itself, but perhaps there's something in the rest of the library?]
