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.]

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

[Oh! Weird.

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

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

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

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

[...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?]

[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.]

[Okay, off to find Freddie!]

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

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

[ 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. ]

[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.]

[ Sure, why not! And after confirming the id ~~like an idiot~~ he's booking it to the kitchen for milk (again).

Basil stop tasting things. Just stop. ]

[Someone please save this disaster mouse.]

[Yes, just taste the dust that was on the ground that is right decision Basil.]

Uh-do you need to get to the kitchen or something dude?

[He's not fully sure why you're doing that?? It's just red dust.]

[ Technically he found this dust on the bottom of his shoe, which. makes it worse actually, but.

Emphatic nodding. ] Pepper. [ That explains everything, surely. ]

What the-why would-

[He nearly smacks himself as he starts asking these questions.]

Doesn't matter right now. Do you need some milk?

[He offers a hand for Basil to stand on.]

[ More nodding, hops onto hand. ]

[And that's all Soos needs before he runs to the kitchen, using his other hand to try to shield Basil from the wind he was probably creating.

When they arrive, rather than getting out a glass or anything like that, he just opens a plastic jug of milk and holds his hand up near it for Basil to take a drink.]

[ ...Fair enough, not like Basil wouldn't have the same issue with a human-sized cup. Scoops up the milk with a hand though, he's not drinking straight from the jug like some kind of barbarian. ~~Tasting things from your off his shoe is apparently ok though? Basil, no,~~ ]

I stepped in cayenne pepper somehow. Do you know how, why...?

[~~Being a hypocrite coes not suit you well Basil~~]

Um...sorta? I think there was lines of the stuff in front of a bunch of rooms, including yours. Don't know why it was there, though.

[ could be worse, he's not Jiminy ]

Many rooms?

[~~Touché~~]

No, it was just in front of yours, Mabel's, Louis', Freddie's and...Ariel's...

That's... concerning.

[ He has no idea what to make of it... hm. Half an idea, maybe. ]

What sort of relationship does Miss Facilier have with Miss Pines? Anything notable?

The rest of us are only really connected by our being close to... [ Marco's death earlier in the week had hit Freddie pretty hard. ] ...Take me back to the guest room area, or wherever Miss Facilier may have moved to--something's. I don't like how this is tying together.

Um, I...I think they're friends? Mabel at least liked her enough to make her a sweater, so...probably at least friends.

And...sure.

[And off they go to the hallway! On the way, Soos is thinking of those people, the fact that all of them had that line of pepper dust in front of their rooms, and that one of them ended up being a victim. Were...were all of them potential...

He shakes that thought away as they arrive, bringing his hand to the floor near Basil's own room.]

So...what do you need to see?
