[Pats Chizuru's head lightly while she does that!]

[But otherwise alternates between staring at what she's doing and... staring around the room]

[So helpful]

[imfine1111one]

[b-blinks at her a couple times THIS. FEELS REALLY FAMILIAR......]

(She kind of reminds me of--ugh, not the time, there's a murderer to find!)

I do have a name you know. . .but you're right, there's a killer on the loose. You're not bothered by this at all? I guess you did mention you have a habit of getting caught up in trouble--!

[acemedium]

D-Don't worry about me! [Determined face goes on!] We need to find clues!

Austria - Parlor

[ladyofthehouse]

[Parlor Doorway - 8:20]

[When the clock starts chiming more than nine times, Austria raises an eyebrow.] It can't possibly be that late already.

[Hearing it chime thirteen times though...]

Is it broken or... [Is this what the rule book meant about the clock chiming over bodies?]

Yuyuko \ 8:50PM \ Terrace -> Melusine Wing

[bloomnobly]

[ You know, from a distance, Yuyuko really does look like something out of a spooky movie. What with the skin as white as a sheet and red eyes...which, right now, is nicely accented by her hands completely drenched in blood. She thinks she's investigated Kouha's body enough by this point, tyvm.

She's heading from the direction of the third floor staircase, seemingly intending to go to the Melusine wings, but if she seems anyone on her way there, she'll call them over. ]

There's...a body.

AROUND THE CASTLE/GROUNDS - 8:25PM ONWARD

[tyrian]

[Rapping at the windows, crying at the locks, etc--Feferi can be found darting all around the area, knocking on wing doors and popping into any room she has access to, with the same announcement.]

Guys! Kouha's been killed! Hey!

8:25 PM - Melusine Wing

[fjords]

[ There's too many people looking at the dead body, so Norway is mostly just trying to get away in his own wing. It is suspiciously close to the wings, though, so he'll take the chance to look for any clues in the hall. ]

[acemedium]

I don't see how your name is any less ridiculous....

[She is pretty bothered, but it's not even close to the first time she's seen corpses, so]

...I can be bothered later! [Gonna dodge that question, yep] I just can't believe somebody would do this over a memory!

[tyrian]

[It looks like there are plenty of people looking at the body right now... Feferi stands up.] You guys keep searching around here. I'll go let everyone else know!

[And she's off.]

[bloomnobly]

[ Sighs heavily. ] Are you quite sure you want to examine such a disturbing scene?

[productions]

[All the stab wounds are grouped together in one area, a little underneath the sternum where the bone ends and the stomach begins. It looks like someone plunged the blade multiple times in the same area, making it difficult to determine precisely what kind of blade caused it. However, the wounds do seem wider than what the dagger that was provided to all the contestants would make.]

8:25PM - THEATRE

[volcanoes]

[So much for hoping no one would go through with it--there's more than enough people checking out the body itself, so Iceland opts to check out the area around the body. The theatre is first--he opens the door and starts looking around for any signs of blood, abandoned knives, or other suspicious things.]

[productions]

[No chipping or blood or bruises. His clothes are torn where he was stabbed, but otherwise, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual about them.]

[productions]

[No signs of a struggle. However, if Apollo examines the floor nearby the entrance to the Dragon Wing closely, he'll find a few drops of blood.]

[souredsweet]

[FEFERI... Kaoru peers out from Phoenix Wing when he hears that, blinking owlishly.]

...I'm sorry, what?

[she just says it so cavalierly that he's like 99% sure he's misheard...]

foyer

[impheired]

[Kuzuryuu and Pekoyama had left dinner together, quietly disappearing into the ballroom and bar beyond. It's been four days since they formed their alliance, after all. May as well...see if anything worth discussing has actually happened or not.]

[It hasn't. Surprisingly.]

[At least, not until a decent way into their conversation. THAT SURE IS A CLOCK CHIME GOING OFF. HEY DIDN'T THE RULES SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT? Time to go find us a dead body I guess. They both run out into the foyer, only to realize...]

Yeah, a clock chime is real fuckin' helpful. That sure tells us where the body is. What do you think? Upst--

[OR FEFERI CAN JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION FOR THEM. Ty, friendly neighborhood sea troll. You've done an amazing job.]

Well that answers that, I guess. Oy, let's split up for now, Pekoyama.

[productions]

[There doesn't seem to be anything out of place in Melusine Wing.]

[acemedium]

I've seen worse than this. [....]

We need to figure out what happened.

[mightiswright]

[ He's heading back to his room after dinner when he hears Feferi's shouting, and that stops him dead in his tracks. Nevermind who 'Kouha' is, this means someone really did step up to the plate to get the incentive. ]

Where?

[productions]

[There doesn't seem to be any blood or weapons in the theatre.]

[derepressed]

[Slowly, she lowers Kouha's hand. Chizuru looks like she might be sick - she's definitely a little pale as she gets to her feet and backs away from him.]

...I'm... I'm sorry. [There are others looking - she can't keep up with this, her stomach is churning. After a moment to exchange words with Maya, she turns and flees the scene.]

[tyrian]

Kouha's dead! The body's up on the third floor. [She pauses in her running around to make sure Kaoru understands the message she's imparting.]

[derepressed]

This is... [She looks really upset, and she shakes her head.] I'm so sorry. I'm going to have to leave this to you.

[And she's bailing before she throws up!]

[bloomnobly]

It looks a bit larger than your standard dagger... [ muttering ] But other than that, I can't tell what kind of blade was used, unfortunately. And I'm rather well-versed on sword wounds. If anyone else cares to take a gander...?

[imfine1111one]

[LETS THAT NAME SHOT SLIDE!! gosh, priorities]

Kkh.. .me neither, but I suppose that itself could be a clue. Unless someone is just sick enough to try and murder someone for fun, they were definitely motivated. I haven't spoken with a large number of people here yet, but once the body has been thoroughly exmanined, maybe we can figure out what areas he's been hanging out in, and who he's spoken to.

Not to mention he's from the Unicorn Wing. Gah, I didn't even get a chance to speak with him, but maybe his room might have some clues, too.
