Third floor! On the terrace, he was stabbed! [Feferi has a bit of the blood on her hands herself, although she avoided most of it.]

[souredsweet]

Dead—? [it seems like realization dawns on him, at least. he raises a hand to his mouth.]

What... what do we do? Are you sure that he's dead?

[acemedium]

[Don't worry, there'll be more name jabs coming]

...He was missing his sword. That's what I learned when I talked to him....

Are you in the Unicorn Wing?

[imfine1111one]

. . .

[jiiiiiii]

[he goes over to get a better look at that, noting the area, and double checking to see if there is anything they might have missed. Also, if there's anything especially unique about the blood droplets (on the door, leading under it, etc). Otherwise, he files that away]

(I guess we're gonna have to do quite a thorough investigation.)

[volcanoes]

[Alright, next stop will be on the other side of the third floor in the west hall. Anything of note there?]

Re: foyer

[perfectstrike]

Whose voice was that?

[She doesn't give the clock or Kuzuryuu a second look, instead moving toward the door itself with single-minded purpose, trusting the other gangster to follow.]

You! [Contrary to the icon, her sword is still safely in its case on her back. If she has to run a bit to catch up to Feferi, she'll do it.] Where?

[acemedium]

D-Don't push yourself...

[But wow, you go do that, Chizuru. Maya's not touching it, so she'll stay for another minute to try to get clues and... then start bothering other people]

[mightiswright]

Make sure no one moves the body- [ He cuts himself off when he realizes that this time, there are no police coming to investigate.

It's just... them. ] Nevermind. Were you the one who found him? Was there anything that looked like the murder weapon?

[imfine1111one]

He was a sword user. . .? Unless he was struck in his sleep, there's no way an experienced sword wielder would let this happen so easily.

[he nods though]

Mm, that's right. I actually went around trying to gather us all together on Monday, but only succeeded in talking to two of them then. Still, we should check out his room, if we can.

[a beat]

And also the Dragon Wing. It's not much, but there are a few droplets over there.

8:30 PM Tower

[ladyofthehouse]

[Austria will try searching the Tower. She'll begin ascending the staircase to the tower observatory on her way to the tower top.

With that amount of blood, if they were in here she imagines they must have dripped at least a little bit.]

[productions]

[There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about that area other than the blood droplets.]

[wearesuperior]

[Standing inside the Phoenix Wing behind him, having just left her own room.]

Did someone just- Kaoru, what was that I heard just now?

[acemedium]

Maybe someone tried to get sword-fighting lessons from him... and it went all wrong!

[Takes a moment to file away this Unicorn roommate information....] I guess it makes sense.... except that you have two horns instead of one. [But the Dragon Wing sounds as good as anything] Alright, let's go check it out!

[souredsweet]

[he turns to face Maribelle, face paler than usual.]

It... was Kouha. Someone has killed Ren-san.

[imfine1111one]

[awwwright, returning to the others and the body, then. Once they've examined it, Apollo takes a breath and. . .checks his pockets, if he has any. Specifically, looking for Ren's key to the Unicorn Wing]

[tyrian]

He's definitely dead. I checked! [Poked him and stuff...] It looked like he got stabbed.

[tyrian]

[Feferi slows down when Pekoyama calls out to her--she's trying to let everyone know, after all.] Up on the third floor, on the terrace!

[wearesuperior]

[Looks back and forth between them.] Ren-! [But not Kougyoku. Not that she's happy about anyone dying...] Any sign of the cur who did it?

[tyrian]

Me, Chizuru, and Yuyuko found him first, and then a bunch of other people started showing up so I went to let everybody know. [And here she is!] I didn't see anything, but it looks like he got stabbed.

8:35 PM Dragon Wing

[acemedium]

[A certain spirit medium (possibly with antenna-headed defense attorney in tow), is trying to get into the Dragon Wing, knocking loudly if the door isn't open]

[And checking it out if it is open]

There had better not be any princesses or gold locked up in here!

[imfine1111one]

Horribly wrong, if that's the case.

. . .please don't start calling me a unicorn pirate. Also, we'd need a key to get into the actual Dragon area, so someone has to let us in.

[perfectstrike]

Tell me what happened.

[There's no mistaking that appearance for anyone else at least, so Pekoyama can at least recognize Feferi from the notebooks. And instead of storming up the stairs, it'll be faster to just ask for details now and then break off to elsewhere in the castle.]

How was he killed?

[derepressed]

[Chizuru's had some time to calm down - or rather, she's a little calmer, but she really wants to get back into her room. She has to go into the wing to do that, though, and she pauses behind Maya (and possibly Apollo).]

...umm... if it's locked, I can let you in.

[productions]

[There are a few drops of blood near the entrance of Dragon wing. Aside from that, there doesn't seem to be anything else in the hallway of note.]

[imfine1111one]

I don't think any of the suites contain literal legendary creatures.
