Third Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Two people have already died this week, but no matter how you look at it, the requirements for The Narrator to call off the motive still haven’t been met yet. And with a motive that affects so many, it’s hard to believe that no one else will die this week.

At least, when everyone wakes up today, they’ll find that there’s absolutely nothing off with the second floor.

Investigate anyway?]

[Chip's heading for the chapel. Sure, he needs breakfast, but he thought of something last night and it's gonna bug him until he reads it again.

Also, remind us- are there windows there?]

[darnsitall]

[Sally's just going to ignore that it's Friday and someone still needs to die or else. She's going to her happy place, aka the craft room.]

[anasty]

[ Ursula heads for the spa. Maybe there's more of that salt scrub and coconut oil to pamper herself with...

Let's be real, she wants to take a second look for ingredients. ]

[geomanctic]

[Cornelia's off for a early morning spa day.

Perfect isn't easy!]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Before Chip can even enter the chapel, he will find that there's someone lying in the entranceway.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The craft room is clean! Have fun, you sweet child.]

[nocasetoobig]

[...oh.

who...is it....because he's going over to check]

[stenchus_rodentus]

[Death on a Friday again? God this group must be pathetic.

Ratigan doesn't care and waltzes into the craft room to find Sally.]


...how appropriate that you're here.

[darnsitall]

Good morning! I thought I would work on my Halloween costume today!

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It appears to be a young-ish woman, lying on her back.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Before you go any further, I got to ask a question even though I already know the answer to it.

Is Ursula wearing shoes?]

[nocasetoobig]

[No.]

Hey! Wake up!

[JUST GONNA HOP ON TOP OF HER AND GET A LOOK AT THAT FACE]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well, Cornelia?]

[stenchus_rodentus]

Yesss that day...it must be very exciting for you and your Bohemian beau.

[coulombslaw]

...this can't be good...

[It's against the rules to sleep outside of the rooms. If there's someone lying on the floor...

Virgil stays back, kind of afraid of approaching a possibly dead body, trying to see from some distance away who it is]

[darnsitall]

It is! Halloween is the most important day for everyone in Halloween Town! And Jack is in charge of the festivities!

[She sinks a little.] ...I was supposed to help him this year.

[anasty]

[ Actually, she found three pairs of clogs in the coat room so--

No, just bare tentacles like always, ready to accidentally soak up any dust, blood, or glass that might be in their way! ]

[geomanctic]

[uh, yeah?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Chip should very quickly recognize her despite all the blood, having talked to her just yesterday. And, if that gash in her neck is any indication, it's very clear that...

Thalia is dead.]

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Belle wakes up with a familiar knot in her stomach, barely paying attention as she dresses in jeans and her Epcot t-shirt. She leaves her room on tentative feet, trying hard not to look up too often as she navigates toward the movie room to check, just in case she sees something gruesome.

[stenchus_rodentus]

...[Of course you come from goddamn Halloween Town.]

One dares ask what is the chief export of 'Halloween Town'.

Oh I wouldn't worry too much. At the rate this is going there won't be enough to continue this ridiculous game.

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well I hope you like falling over because wow, there sure is a lot of shampoo on the floor. Like, absolutely covered in shampoo.]

[nocasetoobig]

No...No! Thalia, please, not you too-!

[THIS IS ONE UPSET CHIPMUNK]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well she may still find traction a bit difficult since there's a lot of shampoo on the floor.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Enjoy your movie, Belle! Nothing unusual to note here.]
