Chapel - 11:00 AM

[productions]

[It's a chilly day out, but some of you may be out for a stroll. There's no sign of anything wrong at the chapel from far away, but get close and it's possible you may notice something odd.]

[teenspirit]

[ She's actually out to walk her horse, which by now has safely been put up in the stables, and on their stroll she pauses by the chapel. ]

I wonder if you'll fit inside? I have not gone in a while...

[vytis]

[Lithuania has always been a bit fond of the chapel, even if lately he's avoided it because it's so far out of the way. He doesn't expect to see Sonia and her horse, but he smiles at her as he approaches.]

Good morning, Miss Nevermind.

[teenspirit]

Good morning, sir! [ She tugs on the reins of her horse; it gives a snort of greeting. ]

FOYER - 11:05 - 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 Beat. The investigation of his death has begun.]

11:15 - Ballroom & Foyer

[godwhisperer]

[Gundam will arrive in the courtyard, having ran the distance from the chapel, and will enter the ballroom.]

Surely by now you have heard the chimes of the infernal timekeeper. Our victim is Beat...he has been found in the chapel. Sonia Nevermind and Lithuania examine the scene.

[inthebones]

[She had descended to the foyer, of course, upon hearing the chimes.]

I'd be surprised if there weren't a queue to be the first to commit a murder this week. ...Was the cause of death apparent?

[godwhisperer]

I did not see the cause...you see, I cannot cross the threshold of such a place.

[inthebones]

...

Do you have an irrational hatred of pews? The hardwood backs always put me off a bit, too.

Grounds - Heading to Chapel - 11:15

[notyetlost]

[It might be chilly, but now that Poland can wear pants again he'll rush outside to do some investigating.

And also because Beat was found ridiculously far from the house, so it made sense to check around the chapel.]

[productions]

[It's chilly outside but hasn't been wet enough that there's mud. It's fairly clear from the tracks on the path and the trampled grass that people have been walking around here, and perhaps running without much regard to the foliage, but it's not possible to make out specific footprints or a path besides the hoof tracks from Sonia's horse.]

[notyetlost]

[Well, clearly Lithium didn't kill Beat. Although even if she Poland would be tempted to just let her get away with it on account that she is too adorable to be executed. He would definitely babysit her like Alice babysits Annie.

If there's nothing definitive on the path he'll try looking around the chapel.]

[productions]

[Outside the chapel, nothing in particular strikes as unusual.]

Susan Sto Helit | Parlor | 11:30

[inthebones]

[Reports had begun to trickle in concerning the injuries involved. Whereas a pocket knife was perfectly capable of slitting someone's throat, it was hardly feasible to create a wound that went out the other side of the body. Truthfully, she didn't think anything in the house was capable of such a massive injury, but it didn't hurt to rule off some possibilities.

She'll check first to see if there's any pokers missing from the parlor again, first off.]

[productions]

[No, they all seem to be in place.]

Parlor -> Billiards Room

[inthebones]

[An unhurried inspection of the parlor for anything obviously out of place will be performed before she heads next to the billiards room. Cue sticks are one of the few other things that seem a possibility, though she can't imagine what force would have to be involved to drive them through a body.]

[productions]

[The cue sticks are still in place.]

grounds - 11:20

[souredsweet]

[following a similar train of thought as Poland, Kaoru will be briskly traveling along the main path that leads from the manor to the chapel. signs of struggle, dropped weapons, blood, foot prints and so on will be searched for while walking.]

[productions]

[The path to the manor is well worn, with various footprints, but the mud is not deep enough for any to stand out.]

[souredsweet]

[Kaoru will travel a little bit off the path on each side closer to the chapel to see if there are any signs of struggle further away.]

[productions]

[No signs of a struggle.]

1:00 - Drawing Room

[notyetlost]

[Poland's in the drawing room, looking through the medical kit to see if any wrappings or bandages are missing from the last time he was poking around in it.]

[productions]

[There are some bandages missing.]

[notyetlost]

Aw man... [Why can't these murders ever just be super easy?

While he's looking does anything else from the kit look like it's missing?]

[productions]

[Nothing else is missing.]
