First Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's Friday the 13th, the deadline for taking the motive. Even the most optimistic guest would have noticed the tensions rising in the hotel. After all, The Narrator seemed pretty sure someone would die in this hotel. Still, there have been attempts to make sure morale remains high in this hotel, and maybe it all worked?

Nothing seems off on the bedroom floor. Perhaps the attempts to keep morale up worked after all?

But maybe you should Investigate anyway]

[It's not much of a trail, although it does lead to a knocked over table.]

[Despite a bad back, he takes the time to look under the table.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Under the table there is a smallish body. Not the smallest here, but it belong o one of the shorter guests in the hotel. She is covered in blood, face impossibly pale, and completely stiff.

Vanellope von Schweetz is dead.]

[sentree]

[ When she sees just who Merlin's looking at, Thalia's mouth sets to a thin line. Just a kid... What a damn shame. ]

[tadaishi]

[Well fuck. Now he feels like a jerk for using the game room for his prank on Monday.]

I can't believe someone actually went through with it...

[forgottenfounder]

[It's not long before Oswald sees what all the fuss was about, and it stops him dead cold.

Just a kid... and she's dead. No thinner or paint this time, just...

Oswald excuses himself from the room without a word. It's just not right...]

[lusito]

[hey gang what's happening in--oh.]

... Well, that's unfortunate.

[fairlypushy]

[Okay, cool. This is fine.

. . . No actually it's not, but Amanda is surprisingly unaffected. She can deal with emotions later tbqh. That's what she always does!]

[anasty]

[ Well well, someone actually went through with it after all. Ursula sticks to the back for the moment, observing the responses of the others. She can't help but be reminded of the conversation she had with Virgil a while ago... and congratulate herself on being right. ]

Poor thing. What happened to her?

[ There doesn't appear to be an awful lot of blood... but then, there's not much of a girl either. ]

[stenchus_rodentus]

[And while it's not exactly an escape it's a break in the monotony. Ratigan is one of the stragglers, observing the body with a look of mild bemusment.]

It appears she's in that state we liked to call death, Madame.

A shocking canidadte for murder I must say!

[anasty]

[ Oh you. ]

Indeed! I suppose you smaller creatures simply proved yourselves to be too tenacious a challenge... at least for the time being.

[stenchus_rodentus]

[You know just what to say.]

I suppose they're just too squeamish around smaller members of the mammal kingdom.

JEHOSHAPHAT!

[In his shock, Merlin stumbles backwards until he falls on his bum. He stares in horror and complete shock. Nothing comes out of his mouth after his scream.]
