What?! Really?!

[impheired]

Nothing. It's all clean...how'd you get in here, anyway? This isn't your wing.

[productions]

[Nothing there.]

[roadroller]

Hm... So I guess the killer probably didn't run up here then. What about downstairs in that creepy dungeon thing? ♪

[acemedium]

[Do they lead somewhere other than the Dragon Wing...?]

[mightiswright]

I'll come with you. No one should be on their own right now. [ Not with a killer on the loose. ]

[acemedium]

[Chizuru let her in! But she prefers to be mysterious]

I've got my ways! Don't underestimate me.

[perfectstrike]

No. Only an amateur would strike during the first week when it is uncertain if any reward would be actually given. Thus, one may conclude that they took the most obvious weapon they could think of.

[And the kitchen is a fairly logical place. Then again, they could have used their own knife as well. It Is A Mystery.]

Still, it is worth noting. Where were you prior to coming here?

[volcanoes]

[Iceland goes downstairs again to the reception room and next to the unicorn wing. Kouha was in his wing, after all. He checks for blood along the way. At least if there's anything in unicorn wing it should be easy to spot...]

[mightiswright]

Yup. You didn't notice?

[productions]

[It's hard to tell since there's only a few drops, but they seem to be leading to the terrace.]

[productions]

[Nothing unusual about the unicorn wing or the reception room.]

[perfectstrike]

But it was definitely bladed?

[That's a start. She's fairly certain Kuzuryuu will tell her if there's anything significantly different about the body, so she gives a curt nod.]

Thank you.

[And she's off! To. Not upstairs. The kitchen, actually.]

[mightiswright]

[ Damn.

He'll give the doors each a try anyway, and checks to see if there's any signs of forced entry. ]

[wearesuperior]

[Frowns up at Phoenix. Killer on the loose and unshaven hobo who does not look half as respectable without a suit and a mask.] I assure you, sir, I am not as defenceless as I may appear. [YES YOU ARE, MARIBELLE.]

But very well, if you insist. [Spins on her heel and strides down the wing to their bathroom then.]

8:40PM - GROUNDS

[tyrian]

[After alerting everyone, Feferi has decided to search outside. Since it's getting dark, it would definitely be possible to hide out here or drop something out here, right? She'll check around the immediate castle perimeter first, especially the area beneath the murder scene and the wings closest to it.]

[derepressed]

[Chizuru's brows furrow and she looks at the not-quite-a-path formed by the drops, then at the wall, then at the ceiling.]

...there was so much blood on his body. But, there's so little here.

[acemedium]

I didn't notice any birds being set on fire!

[seamen]

I went to see the body, but it was a little too much so I... tried to find something to do. [ He glances around. ]

Now we have something, right? The only way to figure out if a knife is missing to look for it.

[productions]

[There doesn't seem to be anything unusual around the perimeter.]

[volcanoes]

[Are you sure the bathroom isn't actually completely covered in blood?

Anyway, Iceland will next head to the tower. Austria's search says there's no blood there, but what about at the first floor exit onto the grounds?]

[impheired]

Tch. Right. Well nothing in the hall itself looks out of place to me either.

[Since...we would know. He lives here.]

No blood past the door or anything else. Which is fuckin' weird but there you have it.

[He moves out of the bathroom, brushing past Maya and making his way towards the entrance without another word. HE APPARENTLY STILL INTENDS TO INVESTIGATE SOLO but like that's going to work in his favor, is it?]

[Let's go check out those bloodstains by the door more closely.]

[rejoicify]

[A weak voice sounds from the hallway outside the kitchen.]

Excuse me...

I... took a knife on Tuesday. I thought... I thought it would be...

[The girl speaking looks as if she's about to faint.]

S-So... there may be a few missing...

[souredsweet]

[he shakes his head at that, knitting his fingers together.]

I only spoke to him briefly, but he didn't seem like an unkind person...

[acemedium]

I think... he was running away? [She starts to nudge at the floor and walls with her foot, around where the blood is but not quite touching it]
