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.

[Just watching from over here.]

Something wrong?

[kindaruledatit]

It's... not working.

[She just. gestures uselessly to Karolina's sparkling body.]

It's supposed to, like, turn off! Or something!

[aboyandhiscar]

Seriously? It didn't look busted. [Not that he knows how space jewelry is supposed to look.

He taps a foot, thinking it over, not wanting to say it may not be working since she's ker-dead.]

. . .there's no secret button or special way of putting it on, yeah?

[kindaruledatit]

I don't... know?

[Is there? While she's here, she can at least check the bracelet out, right?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It appears to be your average bracelet. No magic buttons here!]

[kindaruledatit]

...It's just a normal bracelet. But, wait, does that mean...

[Uggggh she slaps her forehead.]

Really, Karol?

[aboyandhiscar]

Iiii'm not really following here.

But hey, in any case, why don't you keep it for now. Keep it safe til we figure this out.

[kindaruledatit]

You think I should?

[She's... not sure that she should do that. Was that allowed? Normally she would have no regard for the rules, but this was a special case.

Then again, this was a special case.]

Heh... [She let out a breath, like a sad laugh.] guess it wouldn't hurt now, would it?

[With a small bit of reservation, she slides the bracelet off of Karolina's wrist, and pockets it for the time being.]

I get the feeling we're kind of done here.
