FIFTH INVESTIGATION

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Ten deaths have occurred in this mansion, one guest is still completely missing from the mansion with no clue where he is. How many more deaths with occur in this mansion? Will the remaining guests ever know a time when they don't have to worry about someone close to them dying each week?

Nothing seems immediately off, but you should all know by now to never trust Fridays.

Investigate?]

[Oh god. Oh god it's a gruesome death and there are kids still here. If there's one thing that severe apathy and depression can't beat out of Elsa it's her big sister instinct, so as soon as she realizes Anna is there with them, she turns to face her, being as gentle as she can as she puts her hands on the younger girl's shoulders.]

Anna... I-I know you like to help investigate these things, but you and Tip... you can't do it this time, okay? You can't... [She pauses, because god she has to fight down a wave of nausea.] You can't be the ones to find... everything.

[her skinless corpse is what she's trying to say but she can't get the words out.]

[outsidethecircle]

...R-right. We. We probably should sit this one out.

[She wants to help a lot but, wow. That's something she definitely doesn't want to find.]

But... whoever did this is horrible.

[She might have been defending the trophy room earlier but... she's pretty sure the other animals weren't trapped in a murder mansion before they were killed and skinned.]

[defyingfrigidity]

Whoever did this... they have to be worse than all the other murderers combined.

[But... who? She can't think of a single person left in this mansion that would kill one of their friends, let alone someone as kind as Kiara. And in such a gruesome way...]

Do you want me to keep you company? Until everyone is done investigating?

[outsidethecircle]

Y-yes please.

[She might not be the right Anna but have an Anna attached to you, Elsa.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Okay... okay. Well. They can't stay here, that's for sure. She won't let Anna stay in the room with.... with that gruesome trophy.]

Would you like to go to the bathing room? The heat might... might help a little.

[She knows there's blood over there, but as far as they know, it's just blood. But she doesn't know what else might be found in the other areas, so it's best to keep it safe for now.]

[outsidethecircle]

Y-yes. Let's go to the bathing room.

[Right. She can handle blood now. At least... at least it's not that.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[There's a moment of hesitation, then Elsa tugs Anna closer, wrapping her up in what she's hoping is at least a somewhat comforting hug.]

I'm sorry... I wish I could do more than this...
