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]

B-Blood? Oh, gawrsh.... This is bad...

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

Quickly! Go fetch the others!

[goofy_er]

G-Got it!
[Goofy runs out of the game room quickly, heading to the lobby and yells]

EVERYONE! I THINK WE MIGHT'VE FOUND SOMETHIN'!

[forgottenfounder]

[Goofy? Hollering? It must be trouble! Oswald comes skidding out of the library almost in an instant.]

Goofy! What is it?

[goofy_er]

M-Merlin found blood! And maybe more, in the game room!

[sentree]

[ And just like that, Thalia snaps into battle mode. Rushes out of the coat check. ]

Where? What's the damage?

[goofy_er]

T-The game room! Merlin found somethin'!

[sentree]

[ Then that's right where she's going. ]

[Goofy's yelling has the effect of Belle dropping HER WHOLE FUCKING CARTON OF EGGS SON OF A BITCH—

She exclaims in French, but never mind the eggs right now—something more important is clearly happening right now. She runs out into the lobby, face worried and, yes, a little fearful.]

What is it?

[goofy_er]

T-The game room----- Merlin--- He found somethin'!

[greatwidesomewhere]

Oh, no...

[She goes to investigate, sees that trail of blood-laced candy, and slowly backs away, hands clapped over her mouth.]

I don't...I don't want to see.

[stenchus_rodentus]

I should hope with your volume it's an escape route.


[Just Ratigan lounging on a cat.]

[anasty]

Is it a heretofore unfound exit? Otherwise I doubt that I'm interested.

[ Someone coming down thr stairs hasn't had her breakfast yet and is hangry. ]

[goofy_er]

N-No... It's-- I think it might be blood... and maybe more!
