THE THIRD INVESTIGATION

[How is everyone, this morning?

No doubt, most of you are sleeping. Perhaps you are dreaming. Whether they are dreams or nightmares are irrelevant. Hopefully, none of you are heavy sleepers. Especially not when there is a very loud BANG that suddenly permeates through the ceiling right above the bedrooms.. The force of the impact is such the rooms actually shake, sending dust onto those in their bed.

If that didn't wake someone up, then the sudden scream coming from upstairs at roughly the same time will do it, right?

In other words. Good morning, Strangers. Something is happening upstairs.

Best to check it out, and quickly.]

Comments

[Reactions honed in the Labyrinth, where one false step can mean a brutal, painful demise, mean Arthur is awake and on his feet by the end of the bang, and running for the stairs immediately.

It doesn't matter that right now the walls seem to be red and soft, punctuated with white stones. It doesn't matter that he hears a squish with each footstep. He needs to go.

So, what's up(stairs)?]

[relieable]

[ah.

Osomatsu hasn't been sleeping too heavily since he's been here. he and Hydrangea jolt at the sound. he sits there for a moment until he hears the scream, then he's pushing himself out of bed to race to the main staircase. he'll check the tavern first]

[Okay well you know where Krone would like to be? Far away from that explosion!

...because the explosion might be a distraction, and she wants to protect anyone who has to regroup... Yep!

First, anyone already in the parlor? It's full of soft things for defensive purposes...]

INVESTIGATION START

[Not even two minutes after Jun is found, the Younger Steward's voice echoes through the web.

It's...laughter. Just....laughter.

There's nothing else as the magical scrolls appear to everyone, revealing the basic facts.]
