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.

[Okay...maybe the wax museum? Maybe he wanted to beat up wax Bill again.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Somebody might have beat you to the punch there. It looks like at least one of the wax figures fell off their pedestal last night, in fact, it looks like you can make out one that was knocked over off in the dista-

That looks a little too realistic for a wax figure.]

[sorrydoods]

[Oh FUCK

Soos is just gonna...slowly walk towards the person. Hopefully they're just asleep?]

[notasingleword]

[Hey Ariel is also here! When she spots Soos, she goes to wave to him but....something is wrong.]

[negaverse]

[Hey guys what's going on in this thread! Negaduck is here too. Mind if he just.... kinda walks over and kicks the body a few times.]

[sorrydoods]

[What a great first impression on the guy who still hasn't met you.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Definitely not asleep.

The corpse is laying facedown, directly against the floor. One of her legs is extended slightly outwards, leaving the corpse in an awkward position, and the back of her head looks decidedly bashed in. Even with their face on the ground, the corpse's general appearance makes it immediately obviously who is no longer with your group.

Madame Mim is dead.]

[notasingleword]

[Oh shit. Oh shit oh shit oh shit. Ariel tries to scream but nothing comes out. She can't feel her legs again... or much of anything a she suddenly blacks out on the floor.]

[faciliheir]

[oh good someone died and it's no one anyone cares about that's great-- OH SHIT

TRIES TO CATCH HER IN HER SKINNY ARMS]

[hasit]

[...Well, kriff.]

She isn't sleeping this time, I'm afraid. [Glancing around, her face grim:]

We're going to have to find out who did this.

[angelgoatdemon]

[Oh how Lekmet wished it was just a prank like last week]

Ye-aaah...

[Sad bleat]

[sorrydoods]

[WELL SHIT]

OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD-

[Soos's body acts without him thinking, quickly backing up against a wall and sliding down to the floor, a hand covering his mouth. It's...it's not someone he was close to, but she was still a person. A person he talked with once. It's just...jarring him to see her corpse right in front of him.]

[nachosquire]

[At the sound of voices, Marco walks in to the wax museum.]

Hey, guys? There's some blood in the kitch....

[Aaaaand he walks right back out.]

[sharpasanarrow]

[Honestly, he didn't expect that she even could die. Perhaps it could just be another prank, she is a very talented shapeshifter.

He speaks in a fast, hushed, and firm tone.]

Madam, I assure you this isn't funny.

[negaverse]

She's dead, baldy. Like for real dead.

[hasit]

...Arrow. There's blood. Look at her head.

[sorrydoods]

[...why is he going to try explaining this...]

Dude...sh-she's...she's dead.

[lostbutnotaboy]

Everyone! There's something wrong! I think I found blood in the-

[And she stops dead in her tracks. Hands fly up to cover her mouth. She... she's really not sure what to do now. Everyone seems to be confused too. She almost... feels faint...]

[pinkflip]

[ There's only so much you can avoid a commotion. Kim's also pretty...uh, this is not something good to see but she only glimpses the sight of Mim's body before glancing away and putting a hand on Jane's arm. ]

Jane? Come on, let's not be right here, okay?

[angelgoatdemon]

[He's gently going to block her view with a wing and silently try to usher her out.]

Hhh.

[bayoublues]

[Bursts into the room.]

HEY GUYS, I HAVE THUMBS AGA--

[Sees the scene before him and freezes up.]

Oh. Bad timing.

mild emeto

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Nice Louis, my tail's ba-

[Ah. Erm. That's a, uh. Wow.]

Ohhhhhhh good golly gosh oh god.

[She's gonna be sick.]

[soplaynice]

...I'm just excited as you are, Louie, but I don't think now is the time for celebratin'.

[lovelylilmouse]

[Hey! She’s back to normal, and—

that’s a dead body! Minnie covers her mouth and she feels herself getting weak in the legs, and the shock of seeing an actual corpse is enough to make her fall back and pass out. Welp!]

mods?

[angelgoatdemon]

[As pretty much the only healer, and as much as he Does Not Like This, he's going to try revive Mim. He has no idea but thinks it will work.]
