Sixth Investigation

[Hey you wanted to sleep in today, forget the fact that someone could very well die this week? Well too freaking bad. Everyone’s sleep today is rudely interrupted by a piercing shriek that’s suddenly cut off right outside the bedrooms.

… I mean at this point it’d just be rude to not Investigate.]

[Try as Lekmet might, the wounds are so deep that he cannot prevent Ariel's extreme blood loss.

Ariel, through her tears, seems to try to reach out past Lekmet, attempting to call out for someone, before she slowly slumps over.

Ariel has died.]

[Freddie busts ass over here, but...]

... A... Ariel...

[. . .

AND THEN SHE JUST FUCKING TACKLES LEKMET TO THE FUCKING GROUND]

I...I'm sor-- Oof-

[He's too stunned to do anything, feel free to go to town.]

[GOOD BC SHE'S LIKE. SLAPPING WITH ALL THE STRENGTH HER NOODLY MAGE ARMS CAN MUSTER.]

WHAT DID YOU FUCKING DO TO HER?!

[Yeah Mabel is just going to dive in and try and pull Freddie back.]

He tried to help her!! Don't hurt him!

How did he help?! She's dead... [god. real villains don't real villains don't

she just sorta. slumps next to Ariel's body a little.]

[Now that Freddie's not moving around as much, Mabel's grip loosens, but she doesn't let go. Instead of holding Freddie back, she's just... holding her. Hugging her. Mabel is crying too, but she tries not to let Freddie notice.]

H-He was trying to stop the bleeding. I promise.

[she's just sorta. touching Ariel's face. her eyes wide like she's trying to memorize what it looks like before she's gone forever.

this is basically how it's gonna be 'til somebody physically carries her to trial tbh.]

[She won't blame you, friend. And Mabel's not gunna leave her side, either. Even if Freddie shakes out of the hug, Mabel's gunna stay sitting right next to her until it's time for the trial. ]

I-I tried to help!! I swear! S-She-!

[Use your words, Lekmet!

Nah he's going to pitifully try defending himself from the kid. He sure did fail those two!]

He was HEALING, [ Basil says, not sure if that even matters, let Freddie Fite ]

[You do you, Lekmet's not looking forward to a potential crushed mouse again.]

[LOUIS BUSTIN THROUGH]

What's wrong?! What's going on--

[And then he catches sight of Lekmet and Ariel. He freezes, staring in horror at her body--her corpse.

He takes a step back, tearing his eyes away and looking at the ground.]

You--Did she--?
