[obsideo]

Yeah, yeah, funny. It could be an attic or a crawl space or something, you know.

(She frowns, but just a little, and stands up on her tip-toes to open it.)

You've been up there already?

[inthebones]

A few nights ago, yes. I explored the entire house before this 'game' began in earnest.

[Susan will reach up to assist Marlow, being a good deal taller than she is.]

[obsideo]

Thanks! And that wasn't a bad plan. I've been just about everywhere, but I wanted to get notes down.

(Once the door is open, she'll start to climb up there.)

[inthebones]

[Susan will stay at the bottom. ...And thrust the ladder up behind her and lock the door, starving Marlow first murder successful.]

If you go in a little ways, there's a little passageway leading out onto the rooftop. There's no path up there; watch you don't slip.

The view's quite nice, but there isn't much else of use.

[obsideo]

(If only she knew how close she'd come.

She glances back down at Susan before disappearing up there.)

Feel like I should check it out anyway. Thanks! For your help, I mean.

[inthebones]

You're welcome.

[A slight pause.]

Watch that no one pushes you off the roof. ...Unless you'd like me to stand guard here.

[obsideo]

What?

(It didn't even occur to her to think someone would do something like that. Right, murder game.)

Um...I think I can handle it. But I'll be careful.

[inthebones]

Very well, then.

I shall search the grounds for your corpse in a few hours just to be sure.

[On this highly helpful note, Susan will leave Felicia to her investigating.]

[obsideo]

Okay then! Here's hoping you don't find much!

(She knows it's a joke, but somehow it doesn't strike her as that funny. And she climbs through the door and shuts it behind her.)
