Having arrived late to the party, Kitty's head was still spinning from the news of all the gruesome events that had taken place thus far. She had spent the last day quietly observing the other guests' conversation, profiling (as was her inclination) and trying to figure out who on earth would be capable of such horrid actions. Rubbing her weary eyes, Kitty wished the remaining guests a good night and trudged up to bed, hoping for a better night's sleep than the last.

Betelgeuse stalked about the garden for some time after the discovery of Lydia's body. He snarled and threw a well aimed bolt of spectral energy at a bush causing it to flame up for a few seconds. It felt good to destroy something.

"Dam," he muttered, his legs picking up off the ground so that he was sitting in a dejected and cross legged position while hovering off the ground, his head in his hands. "Leave 'er alone for ten minutes and someone offs her. 'msuchanidiot."

Lydia's first thought when she realized what happened was that death was unusually anticlimactic. It was a sharp pain in her neck, a thump and a bit of cold. She glided over to the garden to find the poltergeist still staring at Kit's ruined flower bed.

"Beej?" She ventured and the ghost's head rocketed upward.

"Babes!" He said in a happier tone than he probably should have.

"Worried, Beej?" She said with a laugh, crossing her arms.

"Scared to death, actually. It suits you," he said with a grin pointing to her obvious state. It hadn't changed her much, she still had inky hair and white skin - a few phantom spider bite marks were on her neck though.

"What happened?" The ghost asked curiously.

"Well, I was in the garden when someone came up on me and put a black widow on my neck! The last thing I remember seeing was the girl...Evening coming up. Weird, huh?" She said while gliding towards and into the house, Betelgeuse following suit.

"Hmph," he snorted. "At least you didn't die in a peat bog."

Set 1: Nurr | Set 2: Me

Sparkle woke up in the early morning, wondering why she hadn't slept well. First she recounted the two killings.. but no, that couldn't be it. She was not quite so worried about that. Ah, she remembered again. The romantic rendez-vous under the staircase. How Mr Algernon had finally answered her yearning glances and how she'd almost fainted. But then her stomach tightened as she thought about the incident. It had been the moment that their hostess Kit had taken the hand of the gentleman in question. At that moment Sparkle had watched in astonishment how the Horseman had responded to her action.. Her mind had blanked.. and she found herself with vengeful feelings towards teh Kit.
Sparkle decided to go to the kitchen to get some tea to calm herself down. Upon descending the stairs she suddenly beheld how Lydia floated through the wall.
"Lydia!" Sparkle cried out.. "You are here! We thought something might have happened to you..! Did you see the murderer or anything conspicuous?"

[ *hopes that Lydia has a new clue* ]

Holly sat in wonderment at the LOST fangirlism opening before her eyes. Glacing over at Artemis, she laughed as she noticed that he had his eyes shut tight in abject terror as the conversation turned to a subject that he had no desire to speak about.

"Aren't we here to speak a about the murders, Holly?" he asked through clenched teeth.

"Yes, but this is much more entertaining, dear." giggled his wife.

Evening drifted downstairs, wondering what on earth she was to do today, seeing as how she was dead and everything. Then she remembered that she had resolved to help catch the murderer, and cheered up a little. In the meantime, she could have fun haunting everyone. She followed The Headless Horseman, hoping to go unnoticed and then wail spookily, but then she spotted Lydia’s ghost.

“Lydia!” she exclaimed.

Holly, who had been abandoned under the stairs, dashed into the dining room to see the ghostly form of Lydia. "Yes, details would be nice..." she mused as she grabbed a vanilla frosted pumpkin scone and started munching.

As the Headless Horseman entered the dining room, Sparkle complexion became almost as pale as Lydia's and for a moment she wondered how she had to behave. Then a smile appeared upon her pink lip-glossed lips. "My dear Horseman" she said sweetly. "I trust you slept well?" Her puffy eyes betrayed crying, but Sparkle did not care.
The entrance of Evening, Holly and Fragile prevented her from getting on with the subject (she had ignored Lydia's ghost as soon as the HH had entered) and she greeted them.

Evening coughed loudly, smiling on at Sparkle’s behaviour towards the Horseman. Briefly, she wondered if she had matchmaking skills of any kind. It would give her something else to do, to unite two of the still living guests.
“Hello there!” she said aloud. “Another new day. No more murders yet, at present? Here’s hoping we catch the killer before another terrible incident occurs!”

"Hello" Sparkle saidsoftly. "I'm sorry you can't eat chocolate chip cookies anymore. I know you loved them.." She sighed. "I wonder if Lydia see something else that might lead us to the killer.."

“Oh yes,” Evening said, suddenly reminded of her fondness for cookies. “Yes, they were delicious! Well… at least I got to eat at least a few, before I died.” She gave a sniff and dabbed at her eyes. Considering what Sparkle had said, she nodded. “I wonder if she got a better glimpse of the killer than me.”

[ Lol JF! You really never thought that out before? ]

"No no, I slept perfectly fine" Sparkle answered with a voice which did not sound like hers. "Although I couldn't sleep at first.. many thoughts hunt a person at night." She smiled weakly, battered her eyelashes, and her bracelets tinkled. "And with the occasional ghost floating through the wall.. well that makes everything seem just odd."
