week 8 - investigation

[vicedirector]

seven vices case 8 - investigation ♫ friday On Friday morning, nothing happens. It's 10AM, and there are no blackouts or explosions. There's no blood, no objects out of place, no missing guests. Nada. Zip. Zilch. The monitor in the lobby is silent, and Katerina doesn't seem to have anything to say on the matter. On the most desperate of weeks...could someone have actually not taken the initiative? >Mingle? cast setting

[Okay. But. Can we have breakfast now?]

You say that like that's a bad thing.

[herbgrace]

[No, all the food could be poisoned.] I can't believe no one would act this week. This is just making things more tense.

[sobowtor]

[... Someone get murdered right now.

Poland pulls a clementine out of her sleeve.]

It could have happened!

[herbgrace]

[Snatching that out of her hand.] Where did you get that?

[sobowtor]

[And there it goes.] Hey!

[This is oppressive. You're oppressing me.]

[herbgrace]

That's not an answer. [If you got it recently it could be poisoned!]

[sobowtor]

I got it out of the kitchen! Like. Yesterday. [Why are you so tall and your arms so long-- it's not fair.]

Obviously everyone was so moved that I married them they decided murder was no longer for them!

[Give it.]

[herbgrace]

If it was yesterday, it's potentially not safe. [No eating the clementine!]

[sobowtor]

I'm being murdered!

Lithuania is murdering me right now!

[She waited for breakfast because Lithuania insisted and now breakfast will never come!]

[herbgrace]

Stop being melodramatic. [You're still not getting this clementine.]

[sobowtor]

Ugh!

[Just for that Poland's laying on the floor.

Melodramatically.]

[herbgrace]

Get off the floor. [You could get hurt somehow! Also that's what five-year-olds do.]

[sobowtor]

No! This is dumb. Who's poisoning fruit I put in my sleeve? That's ridiculous.

[The poisoning part. Not the putting fruit in sleeves part.]

[herbgrace]

Someone trying to kill someone without getting caught, obviously.

[sobowtor]

When I starve to death and they execute you, you'll regret this.

[herbgrace]

You won't starve to death in less than a day.

[muties]

Gosh, Lith, stop murderin' Poland.

[sobowtor]

...Save me. [Dramatic arm extension to Roxy.]

[muties]

[ Grabs the arm! To haul Poland back up. While probably still holding onto Hinata with her other hand, of course. ]

C'mon girl, this floor's too gross to die on, even fake die.

[hopefragment]

Maybe if we all went to the kitchen together, we could find something that might not have been messed with? Yeah?

[Leaning back a little to help Roxy haul Poland up, because hell yes that other hand of hers is His.]

[sobowtor]

[Oh fine Poland will get up for her wife.]

Alright fine...

Maybe though no one really will die? That'd be cool.

[dhaosu]

... Is this really the time for this?

[sobowtor]

Well if I did it when someone got murdered, no.

[Poland converses normally, just from the floor.]

Right now is fine because no one got murdered.

[dhaosu]

Nn... no. It is not fine.

[ Ugh Poland you are an easy target if you lie down on the floor like that. ]

Someone could be waiting for a moment like this.

[sobowtor]

Someone was waiting for Lithuania to steal my fruit, accuse someone of poisoning it, and me to lay on the floor of the lobby demanding she give me my fruit back?
