Jeez, she was slow. Dana had reached the attic and the box of extremely awesome costumes later than most, then was torn between lingering and trying on everything that had been left behind and making it downstairs in time to par-tay.

She'd chosen a costume that made her look vaguely like the Witch-King of Angmar, complete with helmet - though it looked more like some kind of bell when she put it on, and gave an alarming clunk is she turned her head too fast. Still, she thought she looked fabulous.
She thought.

As she entered the foyer... er, Middle Earth, Dana heard voices talking about some kind of envelope.
"Um, what's with the envelope..?" she asked hesitant for a reason she couldn't quite determine.

Fuschia after flouncing around the mansion in her Legolas Costume, before bounding downstairs in time to see the envelope opened, "tickets to Puerto Rico? Fascinating."

Kit wasn't sure what to <i>do</i> with these tickets as no one had seemed to claim them. She peered at the tickets once more, "It says... the flight leaves at 9 am." She looked around, as though this tiny detail would trigger some memory in her guests. Kit looked at them again, "It says the tickets are for the 31st?"

Getting no familiar reaction, she shoved the tickets back in the envelope and closed it, not sure what to do with them.

"I suppose I'll try to ha---"

"MISS KIT, MISS KIT." cried her servants, both Manny and Hema coming their way.

"Please, call me Stella. This is a costume party!" Kit responded.

"There has been a murder, ma'am," Manny said. And Kit just shook her head.

"No, there has been <i>many</i> murders."

Hema scowled, clearly irritated. "No, no! There has been <i>another</i> one!"

"What?!" Kit gasped. And Hema and Manny pulled her along, and it was very hard for Kit to keep up because she had her hobbit feet on. They led her up to the second level, past Hobbiton and Weathertop to the Misty Mountains.

They were out in the balcony.

There, by the balcony railings, was <b>Fragile on the Inside</b>.

"Oh no!" Kit went over to her side and checked for signs of life. "She's been strangled!" Kit said in response to seeing the bruises and marks on her guest's neck. She saw something stick out from under Fragile's body and she gently rolled her over, feeling weird to be touching the dead body. Underneath Fragile's body was a long piece of dark red yarn.


<center>Murder #5:
Fragile on the Inside
Details: Strangled with yarn.
Time of Death: 9:27 pm

[Needed that posted. Remember, I need a guess by 10 pm EST (UK - 4-5 hours) *runs off to class*]

((Well, I guess we now know for sure Fragile didn't do it...)

Susy gasped as the servants gave their news. She hurriedly followed Kit out onto the balcony to see who it could have been this time. *hiccup* It was Fragile! "Oh no," Susy said quietly surveying the site. "She was strangeled? What a horrible way to die!"

Fuschia followed Kit and Susy outside to find Fragile on the Inside's body. "Oh my. Poor thing!!"

Fragile slowly became aware of herself again, as though returning from a deep dream. She couldn't feel at first, and that scared her. Then she could feel. She felt cold.

She blinked, and found herself in the hallway on the second floor. She couldn't tell at first whether she was standing or lying down-- she felt oddly light. A sudden thought occurred to her, and she lifted her hand. It seemed different, oddly see through... like a ghost.

Fragile gasped, remembering in an instant. She had been looking at the stars, out on the balcony. She rushed out, and was somewhat disturbed by the sight of Kit, Susy, and Fuschia gathered around her own body, looking oddly pathetic now in the Galadriel costume.

"Hello," Fragile said somewhat awkwardly, unsure of how to begin this particular conversation. "It would seem I have been murdered."

"Why!" Kit exclaimed at the site of Fragile, her Galadriel costume being taken with her to the ghostly world, and it seemed quite eerie. "Fragile! What happened! Well... I suppose we all have a rather <i>good</i> idea what happened, but what happened?"

"Oh dear," Morfinneth sighed. "Another murder." Celephinnon stood by his wife's side and shook his head. "Such a shame," he said. Morfinneth looked at the ghostly form Fragile. "I'm so sorry, Fragile dear. Is there anything you can tell us?"

Having spent an unreasonable amount of time picking a costume, Eä finally skipped down the stairs and into Middle-Earth. Since the Gollum costume would have required her to go bald, she had contemplated wearing the shiny fish-costume - so juicy sweet - however, Eä did doubt whether the dear hostess would approve of it.

So eventually, after long and hard internal debating, Eä picked out Arwen's riding dress, because 1) after all it's not white, 2) it's practical and... 3) well, it's not the result of the quiz (and yes, I happened to take a Which one of Arwen's many dresses are you... :P) that resulted in Eä being Arwen's farewell gown, as if!!

"Oh no.. someone killed Galadriel! Elves are not supposed to die..."

She glared around, in case the murderer was around so Eä could frown upon her for killing poor Fragile.

"I'm sorry about that, Fragile, but at least you weren't poisoned..."

[Okay, I don't know where Fragile's gone off to, but in hindsight of tonight's vote, I'll reveal whatever it as her clue was:

<i>Fragile on the Inside</b> had gone out onto the balcony to look at the stars because they were particularly bright tonight and just as she was finding Canis Major, someone from behind attacked her.]

Hearing Kit's mangled cry, Kitty rushed through the house (literally, through it) and out to the balcony. "Oh my!" she exclaimed, seeing poor Fragile's body laying peacefully on the floor. She took a step back and felt a cool presence behind her. "Oh, Fragile! So sorry, dear. How are you feeling?" Resting a translucent hand on Fragile's now translucent shoulder, Kitty felt a pang of pity for the poor dear. Deciding to take the optimistic route, Kitty said, "Its not so bad being a ghost. You can go through walls, and eating isn't necessary any more."

[Ergah. I'm sorry for not posting it right away. I was going to, but then I had to go to class, and then I had an extra three guests to look after in addition to the four house guests we've had all week, and... I got distracted. *hangs head* Thanks for putting it up, Kit.]


"Not eating will definitely be a plus. Though I'll miss tea," Fragile said in response to Kitty. "I guess the plus side is that things like sleep probably won't be necessary either? I can spend all night looking at the stars now, if I choose... and going through walls could provide a multitude of opportunities."

[I figured it was life, it's okay, Fragile! We completely understand! :D]

Kit peeked at Fragile, "You know, we were having a discussion earlier about how if you concentrate enough, you could do it!" She paused.

"Well, it's never been tested. I think I threw a cashew at Nurrantiel an hour or two ago, but whether or not it took, I can't remember."

PD came rushing down in her purpley, From-When-Arwen-Sees-Her-Son gown. Sheesh! sometimes it took her forever to pick out ANYTHING! Let alone Halloween costumes! And now she realized she had missed... what was this!? She had missed someone dying! She gasped. "Oh, Fragile!"

Smiling warmly (well, as warmly as a ghost can) at Fragile, Kitty said, "That's the spirit, love. Now, do you have any ideas as to who killed you? Or even, what you were strangled with? I doubt yarn could have done the job. Excuse me for being so...clinical, but seeing as I'm already dead, I'm probably not the most sensitive person.

"Oh, Fragile!" Maeve cried, "I know we've had our suspicions. Any chance you can give us some idea of who it was? Red yarn can point to any number of things. . ." she said sadly. She glanced down at the poor girl's strangled body with distaste and shivered. So much for having a party . . .
