10:30 AM | emerald wing

[productions]

[With fewer and fewer people left, it may be easier to keep track of players now.

By late morning, some of the more perceptive of you may have noticed that Clyde Barrow - usually an early riser - has yet to be seen. Perhaps someone would like to check up on him?]

[allice]

[Alice is dead tired, having gotten very little sleep as a result of the nightmares she's been having. She went down to the ballroom for breakfast and did notice Clyde not being around there, but she tried to not let it nag her. Though by 10:30am when she hasn't seen any sight of him, she feels restless and paranoid enough to go check his room. And so she knocks at his door.]

Clyde? Are you in there?

[productions]

[There's no response. The door is slightly ajar.]

Kaoru Nagumo | Around the Manor | 10:35

[souredsweet]

[shortly after 10:30, Kaoru can be found taking on the job of bad news bearer, running through the halls, up to the floors above and down to the floors below.]

A— a body has been found!

conservatory

[vytis]

[Lithuania's been playing a board game with Poland, but he's completely distracted from it when he hears Kaoru. Not surprised, though, which he's sort of resigned himself to at this point.]

Who was it?

[souredsweet]

[there's a brief pause, but Kaoru knows that resignation is something rampant and thus doesn't linger on it, grim as it is.]

Mr. Clyde. He was found in his room by Miss Alice...

foyer

[tsarcasm]

[ It's happened so many times now that such an announcement is no longer shocking, but that doesn't stop Anastasia's heart from sinking with dread. ]

Who is it this time?

[souredsweet]

Mr. Clyde... He was found in his room. [Kaoru seems even paler than usual, but is trying not to get too panicky.]

FOYER - 10:30 - INVESTIGATION START

[productions]

[In the foyer, the grandfather clock begins to chime. The tone is far deeper than the regular hourly chime, and it chimes thirteen times.

The players have discovered the body of Clyde Barrow. The investigation of his death has begun.]

Susan Sto Helit | Drawing Room | 10:40

[inthebones]

[Having perched herself in the drawing room all the early week, Susan sees no need to change this as the death is announced. A resolute sigh, and she stops what she is doing to peer under tables and generally poke aroundn.]

[productions]

[The drawing room seems very clean; at least any rules about body parts in here seem to be in order.]

Drawing Room -> Billiards Room

[inthebones]

[The Hostess will be quite pleased that no one has committed any flagrant violation of the rules, Susan is sure. Given that nothing is out of the ordinary here, she will pick up her skirts (an action she has never imagined having to do in her life) and head next door to the billiards room.

The billiards table and the various games will receive a thorough examination, as will, of course, the magician's box. Susan will note if anything is out of place apart from the rope which she has hidden and the tape.]

Poland - Music Room - 10:50

[notyetlost]

[Poland looks around the music room for anything. Second floor body, makes sense to check the second floor first.]

[productions]

[The music room is extremely cold, especially for someone dressed as a medical professional today. The reason why is apparent - the window has been left wide open. There is also sheet music scattered about the floor.]

[notyetlost]

I hate this person already. [Poland rushes over to the window, teeth chattering. He sticks his head out it to check if anyone's climbing the manor walls ala Annie, or if there's anything else weird to see.]

Anastasia Romanov | Kitchen | 10:40

[tsarcasm]

[ After last week, the kitchen isn't really where she wants to look. Even if she didn't actually see the head in the icebox herself, just the thought of it makes her feel kind of sick. But she's on the first floor already, and someone's going to have to search it eventually, right...? ]

[teenspirit]

[ Sonia's there to help! She shows up just a minute after Anya. ]

I... I liked Clyde quite a bit... It's such a shame...

[productions]

[The kitchen has, presumably, been cleaned up since Belarus. Most of the kitchen is in order, but something particularly strange will catch their attention - a symbol drawn on the elevator door. It's a clear substance, so it's hard to make out exactly the symbol, but it appears to be some sort of circle with a pentagram and ruin design. The substance it's drawn in is sticky.]

Beat | Billiards Room ~ General Investigation

[respecting]

9:30-10:30

[Beat has the playing cards out. While he's alone he appears to be playing Pyramid Solitaire, but he'll step out once in a while to look out the door and see if anyone's around to invite to play. Also a good way to make sure no one's sneaking up with a weapon, though since he still has his wings he thinks he's probably fine....]

10:30

[Playtime is over - time to investigate! He'll take a quick look around to make sure there's nothing he missed in here, though he'll probably move on soon after.]

[productions]

[Billiards Room seems to be in decent condition.]

[respecting]

[Hmm, seems legit!! So next, he'll just step out to check out the elevator entrance beside the Billiards Room.]

Felicia Marlow ☩ Study

[obsideo]

[Her own wing is getting pretty crowded, so she goes upstairs to the study to have a look around. It and the library are right upstairs, so maybe there will be a clue.]

[productions]

[On the way up to the study, she pay notice two of the paintings in the staircase are askew. One is a picture of a pastoral scene - a horse galloping through a field. The other is a somewhat creepy child's portrait.]

Lithuania | Library to start | 10:40AM

[vytis]

[Lithuania steps into the library to see if anything it out of place here. He'll also check the hidden room in there, just in case.]

[productions]

[The library seems mostly in order. It's hard to say whether anyone's been in the hidden room.]
