First, let's get through here and check the place out for dragons or gold!

Or princesses!

[derepressed]

I don't think a dragon would fit in there... but, um, okay.

[Into the Dragon Wing they'll go, then! Chizuru uses her key to let them in and waits for all of them to pass inside before entering herself - she hadn't gotten a good look when she'd come from her room before, her attention having been on the scream she'd heard, but now she casts a cursory glance around for anything out of the ordinary.]

[productions]

[There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary in the wing.]

[acemedium]

[So was the blood only at the door...?]

[productions]

[The drops of blood are in the west hallway near the entrance of the wing, yes!]

[acemedium]

[If there's nothing to be found in the Dragon Wing she'll go back over to where the blood is and check more thoroughly....]

[derepressed]

[And Chizuru will tag along! Two pairs of eyes are better than one, after all.]

[impheired]

[Make that 2.5 pairs. Maya found this bozo in the bathroom and now you're stuck with him too. Congrats. Go team.]

[productions]

[The drops are elongated in shape, as if whatever was bleeding was moving quickly. They're also still damp to the touch.]

[acemedium]

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

[productions]

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

[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 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]

[impheired]

That's usually what that means, yeah. He was struck here and tried to run away. [He glances over to the terrace.]

Clearly he didn't get very far.

[Why would you run to the terrace anyway...?]

[acemedium]

Maybe somebody threw his body!

[She backtracks to check out the servant's quarters and surrounding area to see if there's anywhere he could run from]

[productions]

[The door to the servant's quarters is still locked.]

[acemedium]

[Anything in the area?!]

[productions]

[Doesn't seem like it!]

[derepressed]

...maybe we should try splitting up? We might cover more ground that way.

[acemedium]

...Yeah. We can regroup with clues later! I want to check out the terrace again...

[imfine1111one]

[before he heads out with everyone else, Apollo gets close and personal with the doors to everyone's rooms. He can't go inside them without someone letting him in, but he checks them thoroughly, looking for any smears, or scratches, hints of anything being dragged, whatever--whether it was an object or a body. He also checks if any of the decorative paintings in the main area of the wing have been moved or nudged in the slightest]
