Fourth Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Five people died last week, but so far besides possibly The Narrator, no one else has died this week. Not to mention your new host seems pretty confident that no one will kill anyone, despite the motive. And hey, like last week nothing seems off… at least with the second floor.

Investigate anyway…?]

[Donald’s not really awake enough to go hunting for a potential corpse. Not without coffee— so the coffee room is where he’s heading first thing after he wakes up.]

[nocasetoobig]

[Chip's got a load of laundry to do!............okay yes he can't manage the machines, but he's totally hauling his pipe-cleaner-basket to the laundry room anyway.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The coffee shop is clean, and there's nothing weird Donald would have noticed on his way there.]

[darnsitall]

[It's fine. Everything's fine. Let's just go to the library and study up on raising the dead some more.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[What a good boy.

The laundry room is also clean, and like with Donald, there is nothing weird Chip would notice on his way there.]

[anasty]

[ Ursula hauls her boys down to the pool. The sooner they get in the water, the better. She's tired of their mismatched puppy-dog eyes. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well, there might be something stopping you from reading more books on necromancy, Sally.

Someone is draped over the table, laying eerily still.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's clean!]

[anasty]

[ Good because she'd be rill mad if there was a dead body in her clean pool. ]

[darnsitall]

[UHHHHHHH.

he's resting? Sally leans over to tap them on the shoulder, and if that doesn't work, she rolls them over.]

[darthfanboy]

...who is it?

[darnsitall]

[Yelps!]

Goodness, you surprised me! I think they must've fallen asleep...

[She turns back and it's...???]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There is no reaction from the humanoid body, and when Sally flips them over, they don't even move in shock. As Sally looks, she will find something metal plunged into her chest, creating a large enough wound that even Sally should know that they're dead. And there is no mistaking who the body is.

Belle is dead]

[beautifultomorrow]

[Very soon, the voice of The Dad is overheard throughout the hotel. He sounds shocked and it takes him a few times to successfully say anything.]

Oh dear…

I… I’m afraid Belle is dead now. Rod has already told you how this works, right?

...I’m really sorry about this.

[darnsitall]

[Nooooo

Oh nooooo

She looks over to Kylo, panic in her eyes.]

Library

[grimgrinningghosts]

[She died as she lived.]

Kitchen

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Just eat the pain away.]

Belle's Room

[grimgrinningghosts]

[While the door is closed, it's not actually locked.]

[nocasetoobig]

[RUSHING IN HERE LIKE WHAT WHAT

he's got a cold numb sensation, rather than tears- as if he's no more left to cry. Still, when he sees the body, there's a lump in his tiny throat and he has to turn away, gripping his fists.

So...what's around the room?]

[theduck]

[Walks in with half a cup of coffee

He didn't actually know Belle as well as he knew some of the others here, but he knows she was too nice to deserve what happened to her. He was lucky enough to miss seeing the body this time (again), but he'll definitely do his part to help find who killed her.

Is there anything to be seen immediately around the room?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Huh, there sure is a lot of glass around the room.]

[darnsitall]

[Sally backs away and lets everyone else take over the search for clues. She understandably doesn't feel up to it. Once Belle is...alone again, she approaches her.]

Well, I suppose since Thalia and Reyna aren't here to do it anymore...

[She closes Belle's eyes, then reaches into a pocket and produces the bag of spider gummies she got from Satan and places one in Belle's mouth.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There's a tea set in the sink.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[... As Sally does that, she will notice that there's already something in Belle's mouth.]
