Mock Victim

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It’s Friday. Your first week stuck in Doomville is almost up. While Judge Doom’s motive was certainly big, it’s hard to judge, for lack of a better term, if he could manage to change anyone’s past, let alone your own. So maybe you forgot about it, or maybe you’re so caught up with the “what if’s” that it hangs over you as you wake up today.

However, as you leave your dressing room, you may find that the door to Edgar’s Room is mysteriously ajar. While it was open for investigation yesterday, it seems more open than it was yesterday.

Investigate?]

[ Ansem doesn't really need to sleep, so he's up bright and early. Only to find this. Fine, let's open the door. Who has been an idiot today? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Oddly enough, first impressions indicate that nothing is immediately off about Edgar's Room. But there's almost a layer of unease that engulfs the room.

Not that Ansem would really care, but someone is probably uneasy.]

[returntodarkness]

[ ...Well it's not him that's uneasy, that's for sure. Fine. Time to explore! He's going to look under and in anything and everything. He's a goddamn scientist, a villain and a snoop. And maybe he can find something of use the old butler hid out of sight. HE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING WITH HIS TIME. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[As Ansem approaches Edgar's trunk, there is a faint, but unmistakable smell of blood coming from inside it.

Are you sure you want to open this?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[After people start gathering around Perry's body: there is an announcement over the intercom.]

The platypus is dead. Investigations begin immediately.

[And that's it, you guys better begin investigating.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[However, a file will also be given to each of you unfortunate souls to examine.]

Edgar's Room

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Did anyone even like this guy.]

[worldstiniestviolin]

[Basil, being who he is, has wasted no time in getting to start his investigations. He has pulled out his magnifying glass, being that the room is slightly larger than most rooms he investigates in and he doesn't want to miss even the slightest detail.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Will you investigate the body or the room itself?]

BODY INVESTIGATION

[returntodarkness]

[ FINE. With the potential threat of his own destruction hanging over his head, he's going to begin examining the body. First of all, he's making note of its current state and posture. Then, he'll actually remove it to look over the wounds and for anything else suspicious. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Perry is awkwardly laying on his side, and, despite all the blood, one can clearly see that Perry's face is frozen in a state of pure shock.]

Soundstage

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Act our your despair!]

[wannagetsmote]

[With everyone going their separate ways to try and sniff out the "killer." (was it weird calling someone a killer when it was an animal? Maybe a little), Maui makes for the Soundstage. His first instinct is to plunge into the room just a tad... over-dramatically. Anything that might literally (or figuratively) jump out at him?

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Let's be real, is there really such a thing as being overdramtic when you're solving a murder?

But the most obvious thing Maui should notice is a long blood trail.]

AREA CLEAR

Costume Storage

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Hey no better way to get over finding a body than a makeover!]

[pinkflip]

[Kim has decided one thing and that's that this sucks and she really doesn't want to poke around a furry critter's dead body. So she's going to look for...anything else that looks suspicious in the building, and that leads her to costume storage.

It's a comfort.

So, anything immediately off in this room?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well there sure is a lot of blood here. It almost looks like an explosion happened last night with how messy everything is, not even including the blood.]

[kindaruledatit]

[Wendy is.... right there beside you on all of this sucking, Kim. And not wanting to be near the dead little guy's body.

She's definitely frazzled when she walks in, gaze slipping to the noticeable blood. Yeuuugh, that's just....]

Hey... how's it going in here?

[hitontheheadasachild]

[...Seriously?

So, it was called a platypus. Not a deaver. It doesn't matter anymore, though, does it?

She's really just wandering aimlessly at this point, but as she does, so realizes she doesn't want to just...stand by and do nothing. As it turns out, she goes into costume storage, as it is the closest place to where she made her realization.

So.

May as well start looking at...the costumes? Did the dea--platypus even wear clothing at all?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Hey, isn't a hat good enough for you people?

There's a lot of blood clothes scattered around the floor, however, if Anna doesn't want to look at the chaos, there are still some clothes hanging around.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[... She'd been so certain nobody would go through with it. Especially after yesterday! Seeing a man die like that before their eyes.... it should have shook anyone even contemplating hurting one of the others. But it happened, and now.... they have to solve this? God, this is too much...

But however bad Elsa is taking this, she'll never be too absorbed in herself to ignore her sister. So she follows close behind Anna as her sister goes off, keeping her attention half on her sister and half on the costumes; running her hands over each one, trying to see if there are any marks or damages on any of the clothes still on the racks.]

... Do you think we can do this, Anna? Solve a... a murder investigation?

Re: Costume Storage

[tonewlengths]

[She should do something to be useful, shouldn't she? Something to help. And if one of these people is a murderer, it's surely best to stay in a group where they can't act without being caught. Even so she's scared.

Rapunzel uses her hair to climb up onto the ceiling and get a better vantage point, what can you see from above?]

Re: Costume Storage

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Besides a lovely view of the blood, there is a broken coat-rack in the corner of the room.]
