First Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nearly two weeks in the Haunted Mansion have passed. Parties were had, friends were made. In fact, maybe you've completely forgotten about the motive looming over all of you. However, as what might be dawn approaches the Mansion, you feel a strange feeling of dread as you wake up. Is it all in your head? There's only one way to find out.

Investigate?]

[It's a surprisingly small wound, but if Star is familiar at all with stab wounds, she should easily be able to realize that it must have been a stab wound.]

[ilovepuppies]

[Star definitely knows her way around weapons, so yeah.]

Somebody stabbed her!

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You scare me sometimes, Star.

Anything else you wanna investigate with the kitchen?]

[ilovepuppies]

[a girl's got to know her medieval weaponry, ok.

Well, the kitchen must be full of stabby things. Do any of them look like a murder weapon?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Actually, near Karolina's body, there is a bloody paring knife.]

[ilovepuppies]

[WELL THAT'S SUSPICIOUS.

Star very nearly nabs it bare-handed, but then she remembers those crime dramas Mr. and Mrs. Diaz like to watch. She then goes to find a dishrag or towel to scoop it up with.

And then it's -ugh- time to go back to the stab wound. Does it look like a match?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's a match.]

[ilovepuppies]

A paring knife? Who stabs somebody with a paring knife? At least use something cool, like a claymore!

[She mad? She mad.]

I guess I better hang onto this...

[She rolls it up in her towel of choice. And she really wants to get outta here.]

[S t a r]

I don't think they were worried about being cool.

[Besides, is there even a claymore in the house?]

[ilovepuppies]

But a paring knife! You use that to cut apples, not stab people! It's lame! It's dumb!

[Long, exasperated sigh.]

This is all so stupid.

[kindaruledatit]

Dude...

[She digs your style, Star, but...]

[ilovepuppies]

But it's a stupid paring knife!

[Talk about the worst way to get murdered ever.]
