Third Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You wake up and, after everything that’s happened this week, you quickly realize something:

The music isn’t playing.

It’s almost peaceful in the manor now without all the demons. Too peaceful.

Nothing seems immediately off but surely something must have happened last night.

Investigate?]

[truecalling]

Hey guys! Something's... something's not right!

[She yells-- but that's about all she's got right now. Until she takes a deep breath and gets closer to the contraption. Any sign where all that blood came from?]

[nachosquire]

[Well Marco was going up those stairs anyway, so hearing Moana yell gets him to run and---- oh.


Oh....]

What.. oh god, what happened-- what's happening?

[He's going to follow her, staying behind her for now because Fear.]

[truecalling]

I don't know. Just-- stay close. Just in case.

[nachosquire]

Right.

[psychopinesis]

[He was nearby, so he's there pretty fast.]

What happened--what's that?

[He's going to check out the contraption too.]

[truecalling]

It's... it's a chainsaw...

[Which is Super Bad.]

Was... was there really something like that here? I never noticed it...

[psychopinesis]

Where did a chainsaw even come from?

[Unless Randall had one. But there's also the machine.

Welp.]

You think it might be Randall's?

[nachosquire]

It's... Randy has one. In his arm.

[lovelylilmouse]

[Okay, fine, she’s ignoring the bar, if only because she hears someone shouting. She runs to the pool and— oh.]

O-Oh dear...

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The contraption is less weird in how it's set up and more in that it's clearly something that shouldn't be there. Even if Moana never went to the second floor, she would realize that a chainsaw covered in blood would be completely out of the ordinary for this place.

But don't get too close, Moana, because there is also something laying on the floor in the blood.]

[truecalling]

...

[What's on the floor covered in blood?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's a little hard to recognize at first. In fact maybe Moana confused it for something that came out of the Art Room before it hits her that it's a familiar figure.

His entire body has been soaked with blood, to the point that he's barely recognizable even when Moana starts to piece it together. And, speaking of piece, his body has very clearly been cut in half, in case anyone was hoping he could be saved.

Mr. Arrow is dead.

[doopdoll]

[The commotion upstairs summons Molly, who shows up, still holding her bowl of cereal.]

Hey guys, 'sup-- [dropping that bowl of cereal SO QUICK]

[truecalling]

M-Mr. Arrow...

[Oh hell. Oh... oh no.]

It's... it's Mr. Arrow.

[She suddenly feels really bad for that one time she ignored his rules.]

[nachosquire]

Oh god... I was just picking on him yesterday..

[here fm is with this fucking dont hug me im scared bullshit]

[pinkflip]

[ The commotion's hard to ignore, even when you're so tired. As soon as she reaches the second floor, though... Oh, Kim wishes she did. ]

M- Mr. Arrow...

[faciliheir]

[. . .]

So, do we not have a party after? [what is murdergame etiquette]

[notasingleword]

[No....no no no. Ariel cares a lot for Mr. Arrow. How could this happen... why did this happen!?]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Can he poke the body? He's going to poke the body.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The body springs to life and bites Lekmet's head off-

But nah, nothing happens if you poke the body.]

[not_over_yet]

[ UM. BLOOD, OK, GREAT.

...what is a chainsaw though. ]

[holdthetrumpet]

[i mean look at that thing it's clearly Evil as Heck what more do you need to know about it]

[sorrydoods]

[ha ha ha HE HATES THIS]

[bayoublues]

[right with ya buddy]

[not_over_yet]

[ ...Silence? Hm. That's not good.

Oh, shouting now. Also not good. Worse, actually. Time to run off in search of who's shouting and where... ]
