Erika heart

[dramatispersonae]

You get the sense that you pass through a door, but it shuts immediately behind you. However, when you look back, there is nothing but a dead end wall behind you. There is carpet is lush beneath your feet, and the corners are free of dust. Except for the lack of any actual entrance, it could easily be the entranceway of a lavish mansion.

Any magical or otherwise supernatural abilities you have are disabled.

Re: BEDROOM S

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Thank you.

[while he do that, Erika stands on the bed and drapes over his shoulders from behind]

What do you think you're doing...?

Re: BEDROOM S

[dramatispersonae]

You can still open the wardrobe though. There are a few identical pink dresses, a few identical Jasper-colored Wonderland dresses, and shoes and accessories.

Re: BEDROOM A

[unbalancedscales]

...Oh no Erika's dead.

Re: BEDROOM S

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I don't. Are you planning to cheat and cut the chain lock before the mystery is solved...?

Re: BEDROOM A

[aprettygirl]

Oh no. Well, we did ask for the dead body.

*memorizing the position of the chair, before putting it upright and standing on it to examine her more closely*

Re: BEDROOM J

[thinkoutsidethebox]

...No. I can assure you that's incorrect.

Re: BEDROOM S

[itsalluseless]

[...freezes]

I could ask you the same thing.

Re: BEDROOM S

[boxupallthebutterflies]

Is that how it goes, then...

[girl I'm gonna grab you by one of your pigtails if you're draping on Battler]

Re: BEDROOM A

[unbalancedscales]

It's meant to look like a suicide, if it's a murder.

[crouches to examine the cast iron frying pan]

Re: BEDROOM J

[debossy]

[sigh]

That's, perhaps, a relief. Or perhaps not. Can you tell me what this is? You seem subdued. Have you been restless by yourself?

Re: BEDROOM H

[dramatispersonae]

Her throat is cut almost to the bone. There's no way someone could survive that.

Re: BEDROOM A

[dramatispersonae]

Her face is blue, and she certainly appears to have died of suffocation. However, if you look closely, you can see that some of the hair at the back of her head is matted with blood.

Re: BEDROOM A

[dramatispersonae]

It's a very heavy frying pan. There is a little bit of blood on the edge of it.

Re: BEDROOM H

[sightunseen]

It looks like we'll need to find out who took that fingerprint kit...

[goes to open the wardrobe, using the tip of her knife to avoid leaving fingerprints]

Re: BEDROOM J

[thinkoutsidethebox]

...

Did you know, we were waiting for a guest for dinner, last night...? They must have been occupied elsewhere.

Re: KITCHEN

[dramatispersonae]

The oven has a light dusting of ash at the bottom, but is otherwise clean.

Re: BEDROOM J

[debossy]

We meaning all of you in these rooms?

Then, are you saying you were disappointed not to meet them, and were unable to sleep when they declined to arrive?

Re: BEDROOM H

[surefire]

Mm, perhaps.

[meanwhile I will check on and under the bed]

Re: BEDROOM A

[aprettygirl]

Hmmm?

*can she get a better look at the source of the blood without cutting Erika down, or is the rope in the way*

Re: BEDROOM A

[unbalancedscales]

[calling over] looks like she was hit with this.

[gets up and goes to examine the wardrobe]

Re: BEDROOM S

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[You can't grip very hard.]

[And Erika turns and lashes out with her knife.]

Re: BEDROOM S

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I'm not the one who's trying to look through someone else's underwear without asking, right...?

[brings her knife to the edge of his jaw]

Re: KITCHEN

[beforehecheats]

[Leaving the kitchen then. Also noticing the hallway has had keys placed in all the doors and the various rooms have occupants. It looks like T has still not been opened so he heads that way.]

Re: BEDROOM S

[boxupallthebutterflies]

[--I GUESS I CAN'T DODGE VERY EASILY EITHER BUT I CAN TRY!!]

Re: BEDROOM A

[aprettygirl]

Yes, in the back of the head. There's blood -- haha, this setup!
