FIRST INVESTIGATION

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Something is immediately off when you wake up. Namely, that you wake up and find that the curse that was placed upon you on Tuesday has been lifted. Whatever joys you might derive from that fact are few, as the implications of it soon start to set in.

Only one way to find out.

Investigate?]

Comments

[nachosquire]

[Well Marco doesn't immediately notice off the bat that his curse was lifted since it's... not as noticeable as it could be (he'll notice in due time i'm sure) so he'll just go about his morning normally and head off for the kitchen for some sweet sweet breakfast.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[...okay, so there's a lot of shit in here. There's definitely not a body, but the scene is a little offputting. Especially the blood.]

[truecalling]

What the--

[It's... it's gone. Oh... oh no.

Moana jumps out of her room and goes to check the foyer.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There are no immediately obvious signs of a struggle in the foyer.]

[hasit]

[For once, she wakes up and isn't immediately harried by the voice of Admiral Ackbar. It's a relief for a moment, until Leia wakes up fully and realizes that Facilier's conditions for the curse had been that a death occur by....today. Her heart sinks as she rises and dresses, and peers out into the hallway, scanning the adjoining rooms for any sign of something gone wrong. Hoping that it's a fluke, that the curse is lifted for some other reason.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[No signs of anything off in the hallway.]

[sharpasanarrow]

[Mr.Arrow doesn't notice that the curse has been lifted until he goes to call attendance again.]

Roll-

[He begins to yell, and immediately notices his voice has returned. A pit opens in his gut and he begins to go up and down the hallway of the living quarters, looking for any doors open or rooms empty.]

[tanukey]

Oh, good, you're back too. I'm ecstatic.

[Exiting his room and being able to actuallt shut his door for the first time since Tuesday.]

...Did someone buy it, or did someone manage to strong-arm the rotten guy?

[sorrydoods]

[Yeah, except the first thing on Soos's mind is to apologize to Stan because of that conversation they had on Tuesday. Now he feels like a huge jerk and he wants to hug Stan.

And knowing Stan as well as he does, Soos is gonna check the casino first to see if he's in there.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[...So this place is wrecked. No corpses, though.]

[bestchefinparis]

[Rémy is still rather disheartened, not having noticed yet the curse is gone. Keeping his head low, he goes to the dining room, just wandering around aimlessly]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Definitely gonna smell all that blood. Watch your step.]

[madeofpine]

[Oh good, no more hooves. He can walk again!

So with that discovery, he feels like it’s best to go to the library and return all those books he was looking through previously. Even though the pages are mostly ripped now. It’s fine.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[He's going to follow his nose into the Dining Room. Does anything smell weird in there? Hopefully it's just vegetables or something.]

[downtonabbeast]

[When Beast rouses from sleep he feels...normal. Gone are the hyper animalistic instincts and he experimentally stretches his jaw and experiments for a few moments of talking out loud to himself to make sure that yes, he can speak again. But still he very clearly remembers the breaking clause of the curse and something tells him the good doctor isn't one to end this type of thing willy nilly.

Time to head toward the dining room via the casino.]

[notasingleword]

[Ariel is very pleased to be free from her tub prison this morning! It was starting to feel pretty cramped after all. To celebrate, she's going to the Wax Museum to pick out a new dress!]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Maybe Soos can help you pick out a dress!]

[negaverse]

[Oh thank god, that stupid shock collar is gone. Well, he's gonna grab a bagel and head to the wax museum for some peace and quiet hopefully.]

[lostbutnotaboy]

[Jane wakes up and suddenly... she remembers everything! Maybe a few people deserve an apology today. Whoops.

Uh. She'll start her morning in the kitchen. Because she doesn't expect much else.]

[notreadyatall]

[Congratulations, kids! Somebody went through with Facilier's motive, and as people gather around the corpse, the good doctor's charming voice chimes through the manor.]

Looks like one of you went through with my deal! Now that somebody has snuffed out that witch's life, I'm gonna give you good folks some time to look around and look for evidence. Once you think you have enough, be sure to gather in the portrait gallery so we can get this show on the road.

Oh, and uh, watch your back. Can't be too careful with all these weirdos around.

FOYER

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Merlin is having a conniption.]

[hasit]

[Leia may be a general, but she's far too hands-on to let the others do all the footwork here. They've got a task set before them; they've got to solve this murder. She returns to the foyer, steps purposeful, and glances around, scanning the room for anything amiss.]

DINING ROOM

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Your favorite food: murder!]

[bestchefinparis]

[Okay, there's a dead body in the wax museum, and that Facilier guy just told them all to play detective. Sure, that's better than freaking out!]

Okay, Rémy, you can do this. It's...just a dead body. Of someone you knew. You have to do this!

[He may not have been fond of Mim after a bad experience with her, but he definitely never wanted anyone to die. Who did this...?

Better start with what he noticed. Where in the dining room is blood? On the table, the chairs, the floor...where exactly?]

WAX MUSEUM

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Wax Larry King's head is back, and he wants num nums...and blood.]

[negaverse]

[Okay first thing's first: Any valuables on the body?]

CASINO

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Happy Birthday, Oogie!]

[pinkflip]

[ Okay, with Jane not in the vacinity of a body, there's. Oh there's a lot to unpack about all this.

The witch wasn't pleasant but she was still a person... Deep breaths. While she's getting her barrings, is there anything immediately off in the casino? ]
