I READ THE NEWS TODAY, OH BOY

[strangerpeople]

AND THOUGH THE NEWS WAS RATHER SAD

[Good morning, (good morning, good,) Strangers.

The countdown has been steadily ticking since Tuesday, and despite the crowded nature of the house making it a couple degrees warmer than it might otherwise be, the looming threat hangs cold.

There's a certain disquiet in the air as morning dawns on the residents of 15 Maple Lane – not that anyone would be able to tell, with the darkness of Pluto, of all places hanging outside.

Maybe it's just you? Or maybe there's something up with that? Only one way to find out...]

[In that case she'll take another quick look around for anything off-- to everything from appliances to the front door.

She'll even check around the floor, to make sure she's not missing anything before they move on.]

[strangerpeople]

[She will notice something glint behind the gun locker as she does so.]

[carryabigstick]

[Bingo!

Let's go carefully reach back there and see what we get.]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[It's a knife.]

[carryabigstick]

[AW YEAH, SHE'S GOT A KNIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Wait, only the one? I guess we should assume they could still have one on them for now...

[She checks for any marks on the knife-- signs it's been used or anything that might have gotten on it, to be thorough.]

[strangerpeople]

[There's no sign of blood or any other marks on the knife.]

[carryabigstick]

[cool, cool. then she guesses this is just going to come with her then, since it looks like they're all done in here.]

[strangerpeople]

[Indeed! Excellent job!]
