[pasodoble]

( Face up in a pool of his own blood.

Spain will kneel down next to Clyde's body as close as he can without stepping in the blood. A slit throat and plenty of stab wounds... )

How did they get in, though? ( Thinking out loud and his mind immediately goes to skeleton key. ) Let's look for his keys.

[allice]

You do that, I'm going to check his drawer. Oh and be careful - I found one of Reiko's business cards on the ground near the blood pool while I was checking and put it on Clyde's body to make sure it wouldn't get damaged.

[That said, time to check his drawer!]

[pasodoble]

( Splutters )

Reiko's business--

( ... Casually going to trace a cross on his self before searching Clyde's devilish costume. Maybe they're in his hands? Or his pockets? Does this costume even have pockets? )

[productions]

[The drawer is currently locked. The keys aren't on his body, but if Spain turns his head, he'll find them against the wall by the door.]

[pasodoble]

( Man he just wasted his time touching a dead body for this. When he doesn't find anything, he'll take a step back mentally and look around the room.

Where else could the keys be?

It's then that he sees them on the floor and he'll go to pick them up. Is there anything unusual, are they both there? If everything is okay, he'll offer them to Alice since it looks like she's trying to search the the desk drawer, )

Here.

[productions]

[There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about the keys.]

[allice]

[She takes the keys with a smile and opens up the drawer.]

You know, I just had a thought: if Clyde was killed in his room, it means whoever killed him had to be wearing their costume in some way with the rules. Maybe checking suspects clothes can show blood somehow.

[She says while unlocking the drawer to peek inside.]

[productions]

[The only thing in the drawer is an empty bottle of chloroform.]

[allice]

Hm. His knife and letter opener are missing. Maybe the killer took them to murder him? Spain, do you mind checking if he has the knife and letter opener on his body?

[pasodoble]

Sure.

( Carefully, he'll check Clyde's body for a pocket knife. To be honest, he isn't expecting to find a letter opener because who takes a letter opener with them. He'll check any pockets again and check around the body to see if maybe it was dropped in a struggle. )

[productions]

[Neither the letter opener nor the pocketknife are on the body or in visible sight around it.]

[allice]

[While Spain is checking for the knife and letter opener, Alice will check the desk for anything that may be of interest.]

[pasodoble]

( Then he'll relay it back to Alice, )

There's nothing, sorry... but we can look around the room just in case. ( A beat, ) Unless they were taken.

( Remembering the report for Belarus' room before, he'll go to check under the pillows on the bed. )

[productions]

[There's nothing under the pillows. The desk doesn't seem that different from when Clyde's room had been searched as a suspect - there's a half-empty bottle of liquor and a small pile of letters.]

[allice]

[She'll riffle through the letters then, seeing if there's something important. Naturally she's reminded of the letter she's written in the event of her death, so who knows? Maybe Clyde did something similar.]

If the knife and letter opener are missing and the drawer was locked when we found it, chances are they could have been used to kill Clyde. I would think if they aren't in his drawer then they would be on his person - his card did mention being useful with "improvised" weapons.
