[The day has come.

..Valentine's Day, of course! Or should we now call it...ValITine's Day? Well, it doesn't matter. It's a Friday.

Hopefully, the Strangers got through this week without killing. But perhaps it's best to be sufficiently paranoid and check first, hmm?]

[Go right ahead!]

[ Immediately he's gonna enter the main floor level as soon as he gets in. Does anything catch his attention or is he going to be able to head to the kitchen without an issue? ]

[Nothing untold on the way to the kitchen. Have at it.]

[ It's more that he's actually just checking things out, so he's gonna head to the Dining Room afterward. If nothing's there, he's gonna make his way towards the Library. ]

[As Karma walks in, he will notice a pair of feet sticking out from behind one of the tables.]

....Shit.

[ He frowns and runs forwards, moving to see just who it was that was lying there. ]

[Shit is right.

The person who is lying there doesn't seem to be responding to Karma's swearing.]

[ Not a good sign. He's going to move around the table so he can properly see who it was.

Is it going to be obvious right away just who was lying there, clearly not responding to him and he had a bad feeling about this. ]

[It is. Very obvious. Not many people look like this person, in any case.

Shuuichi Minamino, the Unknown, is

not, however, this person. If that was what you were wondering. Of course not, he's at the house!]

[ ~~Excuse you?!?~~

So if it's not Kurama, then... who was he finding? ]

[Someone who managed to was a culprit, but is now the victim. Most unfortunately.

Lala Haguromo, The Chance, is dead.]

[This is what following the scent of blood gets you. The corpse of an alien that looks like a young girl.

King goes up to her and tries to feel for a pulse. He's silent hoping that they'll actually have a chance this time.]

I'd say good timing but this wasn't what I wanted to find this morning.

[ He grimaced a bit, having gone just a bit pale. ]

Yup. This is the worst Valentines present in the history of ever.

[It's morbid, but right now? They need something to lighten the mood, just a little bit.]

Hah. No kidding.

[ It's just habitual for him to just go with it, needing that little bit of something to lighten things up just a touch. ]

Of all people, I wasn't expecting it would be her.

[Osomatsu is nearby, so he enters the dining room to see what's going on. it's not a party, is it?

and there Lala is... Osomatsu looks sad. he really liked her. she didn't deserve this]

[Nothing in the library, what’s thi -]

[Ah. He puts a hand on Osomatsu’s shoulder.]

[ A pause and he looked over to Osomatsu, something quiet and sympathetic on his face. ]

We'll have to work hard to find her killer now, yeah?

[with Caleb there, and Karma and King, too, Osomatsu feels... not better? but surrounded by people (and animals) he really likes. even though this Valentine's Day is difficult...

he finally nods to the both of them]

I just didn't wanna see anymore kids... anymore people, in general, get hurt.

Same here.

[He's not looking Karma in the eyes. He's just trying to find some sort of sign she's still there, even if it's faint.

He'll respond more, though.]

Nobody better ask for a puppy for Christmas. I don't want to be found dead under the Christmas tree.

Yeah. I don't think we'll be here long enough for that, but I know what you mean.

[ No, he can't blame King one bit. Just going to let him do what he needs to in checking on her. ]
