[Both pokers seem pretty normal.]

[allice]

[That is so not what she-- wait. Weren't there four pokers before here? She could have sworn...

She'll think about what this means later. She's just going to take the poker and poke around the logs in the fireplace, seeing if something was left behind there.]

[productions]

[Nothing unusual, just the remains of logs and the last embers of a fire.]

[allice]

[No burning evidence it is. Though the fact that two pokers are missing is still curious.

She goes to check the only place where she thinks anything could really be hidden in the small room, the bookshelf, and if nothing is there she'll move on. The fact that the fire was burning in the parlor means someone had to be in here beforehand, if nothing else.]

[productions]

[Really? There's no other person who would light a fire besides a killer?

Anyway, there's nothing hidden in the bookshelf.]

[allice]

[Maybe they were thinking of cooking Rin until they realized she wouldn't fit. It could happen!

She leaves the parlor then and heads to the door that leads into the conservatory. Only evil murderers love plants, everyone knows this to be fact.]

[productions]

[All right. The conservatory is looking a little messy. A bunch of the flowers of plants seem to have been picked.]

[allice]

[So the murderer hates flowers. The asshole.

She starts looking around the area, looking to see if anything else seems out of place aside from the torn apart plants. A messy room doesn't necessarily mean a murderer was here.]

[productions]

[It just seems to be the flowers, but it's a lot of them.]

[allice]

Maybe the murderer was an eco-terrorist!

[...Hah. She leaves the conservatory and heads toward the kitchen. If she can't find a clue, she can always find a snack.]

[productions]

[She can find a snack in the kitchen; it was just recently used for cooking. Although the mess has been cleaned up, the smell still lingers.]

[allice]

[Good. Can't fight crime and murder on an empty stomach. Though the lingering smell is curious. She pauses for a few moments to take in the air and smell it slowly, trying to see if she can decipher what it is.]

[productions]

[It smells like traditional Japanese cooking - noodles, fried tofu, and the like.]

[allice]

...Ah, the smell of youth and all its MSG.

[At least this confirms someone was in the kitchen while things were going down. She doesn't think anything important would be hidden here two days in a row, but she'll check around the cupboards, the icebox and under the counter just in case.]

[productions]

[Nothing particularly stands out.]

[allice]

[Then it's off to the bar! (But not before she spends a few minutes contemplating taking an apple or orange, only to grab a banana.) She could use a drink, but that can wait until the end of the trial. She isn't sure if anyone would hide something here, but she may as well check out the rest of the first floor just as a precautionary measure.]
