Fuschia, having finished exploring the house to it's extent, found everyone else in the dining hall, rather shocked. She blinked, "Oh my. Oh My. Oh dear, Poor Nurr."

The Signora Psyche Zenobia giggled maniacally. A murder! Mr Blackwood will be so pleased! she thought, thinking only of her editor and the wonderful, sensationalist story this would make in Blackwood's Magazine.
"'Take that!'" she quoted. "How evocative! What did she take, I wonder? Or what did she do? A lover slighted? A stolen hoard? Or... the most supreme motive of all! Revenge!
'Unt stubby duk, so stubby dun,' as the German poet Schiller so admirably put it."

Lydia supposed that it was a mixture of cold, several days without sleep that finally had her pass out on the extremely comfortable sofa. She woke up, for a moment not sure as to what had caused her stirring and completely unaware of her surroundings. It took only a few extra blinks for everything to sink in.
Lydia Deetz was lost, stuck in a house full of strangers and still had a psychopathic poltergeist tied to her physical being. Dam it. Why did she insist on calling him? Right, a mugging. Stupid college campuses and their lack of proper security around popular bar areas. If they had been about then she wouldn't have needed Betelgeuse in the first place.
She looked around for the self proclaimed ghost with the most and found him lounging in the air as no body else seemed to be around to freak out from his floating....except Lydia, who startled at his presence even though she should have been used to it by now.
"Beej!" She said annoyed. "What are you doing?"
"Relaxin' babe, you breathers wear me out," he said with a grin and an eyebrow wiggle.
"You're disgusting," she remarked, pushing herself off the couch and running a hand through her inky locks to try and straighten them.
"Useless babes," the poltergeist sneered in a not so good natured jab at her appearance.
The girl narrowed her brown eyes and crossed one pale arm over the other in an attempt to look intimidating. She didn't bother addressing his ribbing over her looks - he was one to talk. He had mold growing on him for heaven's sake!
"Lih-dee-uh," she said in obvious frustration, her intimidation quickly deflating. "Not babes. Say it right or I'll put you back," she threatened and immediately wished she hadn't.
Betelgeuse stood on the floor now and looked distinctly dangerous. "Don't even try it...." he smirked, "Lyds. I'll hunt you until you go crazy and then kill you after you let me out."
Lydia matched his glare, but lost the staring contest as she was forced to look down. What could she say to a threat like that?
Betelgeuse frowned again. Okay, so he wouldn't really kill the kid. That was pretty much against his standards, okay, it wasn't. But still, she hadn't sent him back yet.
"Speaking of murders," he said, the dangerous air slipping off him like water on a duck's feathers. "Someone's been killed."
"What?!" Lydia yelled. "I can't be-"
He cut in. "Woah! This was not me. Hell no. I'm not that stupid. I'm already on thin ice, Juno would have me exorcised if I offed a breather..." dam, he just destroyed his own threat, but the girl looked pleased - fine by him. No more of her freakin' sulking.
"Where?" Lydia asked brightly, morbid curiosity taking place of any other emotion.
The ghost rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers so that the two appeared around the rest of the group to see what was going on.
Lydia strained her neck to see over Elenya's shoulder to see the note. "Woah. I can't believe this," she said, looking to Betelgeuse. "A real mystery. Although," she began to amend, "it really could be retribution for other murders."
"Naw babes," Betelgeuse piped in from his spot on the wall. "Things like that would definitely be more messy. Crimes of passion always are."
Lydia nodded, after all, he was kinda an expert on this type of stuff. Being...dead an all that.

Mist's first reaction was actually not much of a reaction at all, until she realized what was going on. This certainly was not a battlefield, this was a party! She shook her head and covered her mouth with her hand.
After glaring at Psyche, who seemed to be taking this all too lightly, she stepped forward. "What has happened? How did she die, a spear thrust? Sword stroke? This is most unfortunate, indeed!" Waving her hands wildly for emphasis, she continued. "We have to find who did this, so that justice may be wrought. Revenge seems certainly to have been a motive, though perhaps it was not the only one."

Unnoticed by anyone, Deria had slipped out last night and fallen asleep upstairs with her cloak beneath her head. Earlier that morning, she had then changed into something more suitable for "exploring" the mansion (produced from the folds of her cloak) and began prowling around. She returned just in time to hear a lot of fuss and the words "Nurrantiel Mashiara" and "Murdered" in close succession.
She thought she must have heard wrong until she strode into the room and heard all the shocked comments. She sank into a chair in disbelief as she listened. Who...what...why??? Observing the others' faces, she soon came to the conclusion that although some seemed as shocked as she, the others were not. Does this happen frequently? she wondered. She shook her head and resolutely stood up and stepped closer to the gathering.
"The first thing to do, I think," she began, "is determine exactly what happened. Kit, you found her? At what time, which room/bed, and how was she killed?" She quieted and waited for an answer, still rather stunned.

MB, who had quietly slipped away from the excitement of chesnut animals and wandered upstairs, had fallen asleep during all the commotion.
When she awoke, much to her dismay for she hates falling asleep in the middle of the day because she always inevitably misses something, she jumped up and hurried down the stairs. As she came down, there was lots of murmuring and worried looks and she knew it couldn't be good.
"Oh no ... " she thought, "not again!" But her fears were confirmed when she kept hearing whispers of "murder!"
"Nurr?!" she exclaimed?!

Maeve who had been asleep in one of the upper rooms as well hung her head at the sight that greeted her when she made her way into the room where a crowd had gathered. Kitoky was gesticulating wildly while everyone else looked worried or otherwise on the verge of tears, everyone but the Headless Horseman of course. She couldn't see his face.
She nodded as Deria asked her questions. "Were there any clues on her body that might point to a cause of death? Strangulation from the sheets perhaps? Or it could be as many have suggested, natural causes, though Nurrantiel was quite young. . ." She trailed off, lost in thought for a moment.

Kit tapped on her chin in contemplation. "Now that you mention it, I suppose it would be odd that her pillows were haphazardly thrown on her bed. You would think her pillow would be under her head, but then again, I like to sleep without a pillow sometimes..."

"The pillows is it?" Maeve repeated thoughtfully," That is rather odd. Maybe she could have been snuffed out with a pillow. There would have been an awful lot of thrashing around though. Hmm."

Deria jumped on the thought. "Multiple pillows, and thrown on the bed. Was she on top of them?? That would be an odd way to sleep..."

PD listened in and silently watched as more people entered and heard the news and came up with ideas. "That's it?" she echoed Maeve. "Was anyone in the room next door? Someone who might have heard the noise if that's how Nurr met her end, that is?" PD thought for a moment before continuing, "did you check the pillows? Maybe something was stuffed inside of them? Like a rock or something.... something the killer could have beaten Nurr to death with?"

Holly's Lower Elements Police (LEP) ears perked up at the sound of the word "murder." She listened thoughtfully as the details presented themselves, then stood up. "Shouldn't we investigate the room? Poor Nurrantiel deserves for us to find out who done it."

Deria nodded. "Yes, I think that would be a good idea. Kit, would you mind if we all went up and investigated the scene? If we do go up no one ought to touch anything until all has been observed...then we should look at the bed, I think." She had a notebook out and a pen at the ready, waiting for permission.

"Well, I suppose you all could have a look, but it might be too frightening, as I think Nurrantiel's body is still up there." Kit said, rather hesitant to be going up and seeing the dead Nurrantiel again.

"Well, we're going to have to go up there someday..." PD trailed off. She didn't really want to be the one to go up there first and see Nurr's poor, dead body. "Umm, what have you done with their... bodies before, Kit?"

Deria blinked, discomfited. She turned to the others. "What do you think? I don't fancy seeing her body, but it might help us find out what happened...." she spread her hands and shrugged.
