Sixth Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[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.]

[Soos is up and...he would prefer to actually be useful this time around at the trial. So while Basil looks over the body, he's looking over the immediate area. What's wrong with it?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There seems to be a few things off about the hallway. But heck, why doesn't Soos check out that blood trail first?]

[sorrydoods]

[FUCK IT WHY NOT

He'll look at that blood trail. Where does it start and what kind is it? Is it a drippy one or something like a person being dragged?

...also it ends at where Ariel is right?[

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It a messy blood trail, that starts around where Ariel's room is and definitely ends where Ariel currently lays.

... And there seems to be a second blood trail too.]

[sorrydoods]

[Okay, yeah that makes sense, considering she probably ju-wait, what?

He's gonna look at that second blood trail as well. Same questions for that one too.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[This one is a lot more neat., just blood dripping from above. It once again ends at Ariel's body, but this time it starts around room 25.]

[sorrydoods]

[Okay, blood drips. No big deal, no big deal.

Except what that might mean for anyone inside.

He's peeking in. Does he see anything in Kit's old room?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nope! There is absolutely nothing off about Kit's room]

[sorrydoods]

[Oh thank goodness. He was really afraid he was about to find another body or something.

Looking back around the hallway, is there anything else that clearly wasn't there before murder happened?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well there is something odd right in front of Room 27.]

[sorrydoods]

[oh...yippee...

What's in front of Gaston's door?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's a knife!]

[sorrydoods]

[*looks at knife*

*looks at Gaston's door*

Well! This trial is gonna be a whole lot easier! Anything else to see here?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[One more thing that's not the body! There's strange dust on the ground.]

[sorrydoods]

[Oh! Weird.

What color is it? And...is there anything else to figure out about it because I can't think of anything else.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's red, and they seem to be in a neat line in front of some bedroom doors.]

[sorrydoods]

[That's...odd. Which rooms?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Rooms 4, 5, 20, 21, and 29]

[sorrydoods]

[...Mabel, Louis, Basil, Ariel, and Freddie. That's...not concerning at all no way and he is completely fine after hearing that.

Anything else special about the dust or can he go console Freddie or something?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[I mean if you wanna look into the dust some more I'll be happy to oblige but you're more than welcome to help the sad gay.]

[sorrydoods]

[Okay, off to find Freddie!]

[not_over_yet]

[ ...given he ran right through the stuff, would anything about it alert Basil to there being Weird Stuff On His Shoes, like a scent? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It does smell a little strange actually. Kinda like some sort of spice?]

[not_over_yet]

[ Can he identify it via closer inspection/sniffing?

...Cause if not, he's sticking some in his mouth to attempt id'ing it that way, and he oughtn't to do that sort of thing really. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[I mean Basil very well could identify the spice from look and smell alone but I really want him to taste it.

Because wow that would be the taste of cayenne in his mouth.]
