I'm not going to sleep with her, ew! [Beat.] I mean uh, no offense Annie, I'm not saying you're not pretty, I'm just saying you're a murderer. And you kind of remind me of this guy I know who is the walking headline for Terrible Life Choices and also for shortening the life expectancies of anyone who gets close to him.

Oh yeah? Are you a virgin?

[productions]

[It's not difficult to tell - several kitchens knives are lying next to the body. The blades on most seem damaged.]

[pasodoble]

Well, if we're starting here... the rest of the floor would be a place to start.

( ... )

Ladies first.

[notyetlost]

Murderers don't base their self esteem on whether or not you want to sleep with them now stop talking to her!

No, I'm married! [How many times does he have to say this GOD.] But I was a virgin at one point!

[notyetlost]

Shut up! [Wow he's like eight inches taller than you!

...Fatty!]

[humanic]

Seriously. I might be okay with keeping Annie around, but there is no fucking way we're letting this psychopath walk out of this week alive. They might just chop up more people for the fun of it, incentive or no.

[Okay cool, he'll let her handle examining the torso in detail while he searches the area around it.]

It...the body looks like it's female. There's only two on the deadweight and dispensable list this week.

[hollowheart]

No offense taken.






You're not my type.

[notyetlost]

[Of course you did.]

Oh my god, do you ever wake up at a reasonable hour?

[aozaki]

[...]

Let's check the conservatory first, then come back in from the parlor and make our way to the kitchen. We'll do a thorough sweep of the first floor that way, how about it?

[pasodoble]

I always wake up at a reasonable time!

[hollowheart]

[at least it's all in the boobs what's your excuse]

If it would stop your yelling. I'm bored with this.

[pandacea]

[A nod.]

What about the foyer? It is in the center of the mansion and people may be coming in and out of there to investigate other areas.

[notyetlost]

[He's eight inches taller than you!]

Erg...

[allice]

Yeah...Anastasia and Belarus. It may just be one of them.

[Oh who is she kidding, it has to be one of them with the incentive given to kill a deadweight or dispensable. Ugh. Belarus is kind of a hardass, but she's not bad. And Anastasia is a a sweetheart.]

This fucker won't get away with this. [She mutters and carefully picks up one of the kitchen knives to exam it.] I really hope this is just a trick to make us think they chopped it up with knives. This could take a good several hours to do.

[pasodoble]

( Spain tries to hold back a yawn but it's no use. He's taken a few siestas in the conservatory before so he notices some of the flowers are missing but he doesn't think twice about it, )

Hm? I guess someone picked some flowers earlier... I don't see anything here.

Thursday | Foyer | All day

[teenspirit]

[ This is where Sonia and May have decided to amalgamate all the found body parts, as it is an easily accessible central location.

If your character has found a body part, please have them bring it to the foyer. ]

[teenspirit]

Very well; we shall set up there.

[souredsweet]

[a grand total of 0 people]

I did, yes. I often retire to the conservatory in the morning hours after breakfast has finished. [a smile!] The ambiance is very good for ridding oneself of stressful energy, I believe.

[pasodoble]

( He'll nod, )

It sounds good to me. Let's go.

Hand

[teenspirit]

[ One of the victim's hands is set there by May and Sonia. It is in a large jar of ice. ]

[humanic]

[There's a pause before he suddenly looks absolutely horrified - or at least even more so than before.]

You -- you don't think she was still alive when this happened, do you?

[humanic]

You'd be surprised. My English teacher? Totally had this whole complex about her face, she killed like a whole bunch of people trying to get back at the dude who ruined it.

Uh-huh. And would you have been okay dying as one?

[humanic]

[Pouts. Low blow, Annie, low blow.]

I don't think I even want to know what your type is.

[notyetlost]

Okay even from the vague amount of information you just gave me I doubt that hinged entirely on whether or not you wanted to sleep with her so. My point is still totally valid.

[Also what the hell is wrong with the American school system-- Jesus Christ.]

I dunno. I'm never gonna die so. [Shrug.]

[allice]

Oh God no...I hope not. I mean it depends - Anastasia doesn't seem like she can put up a good fight, but Belarus has super strength so it'd be hard to hold her down. [Unless the killer decided to remove that. She furrows her brow at the thought of having to even debate whether or not the victim was alive. Shit.] Finding an exact cause of death is going to be difficult. Whoever this asshole is, they really don't want us to figure them out.
