THE FIRST VICTIM

[Friday morning is quiet enough.

Everything seems to be normal, as before. Normal and boring, even with the strange things happening around the Depths. After all, no one's killed yet. Why would they? Surely something as ridiculous as a weird fruit and a fleeting promise wouldn't provoke anyone to kill to see if something like that was actually true, right?

Right?

Still, if anyone was worried, they would at least feel justified at being tense. People were told to kill another in return for the safety and life of a loved one, after all. And it included a way out for someone who succeeded in getting away with it. There may be someone more than willing to kill for that chance.

And that's when you don't consider the two empty rooms, one of which was opened and resulted in more strange things happening. And what happened last week? It hasn't been solved, has it? And no one expected that.




Perhaps it's a thought to look around to make sure there's nothing off this morning.

Certainly, it couldn't hurt.]

[There are a few footprints here.

Examine?]

[almightyconflagration]

[Sure. Let's start with something easy. Anything off about the footprints? Like any blood? Is the ground wet there?]

[strangerpeople]

[No blood or water here, but the footprints have been dragged considerably.]

[almightyconflagration]

[Anything of note about their size? Is he going to have to grab one of Laslow's shoes to compare?]

[strangerpeople]

[Whoever made these footprints seems to have intentionally dragged their feet. The prints are at least a foot longer in length than anyone's foot in this place can reasonably be.]

[almightyconflagration]

[Is there anything that can be figured out as is though? Like type of shoes, the size or weight of the person, were they perhaps injured?]
