"Ghost?!"

The Signora Psyche Zenobia was entirely taken aback. But, sure enough, there was Narcissa's silvery figure floating above the body, and Lucius' quickly appearing as well.

She joined in the barrage of questioning. "Yes, what happened to you?!

[@ Horseman... No, I think Lord Death was also killed a couple years ago. ]

"Well, you see I woke up after smelling freshly baked bread," Narcissa began, speaking slowly to make sure she was recounting the events correctly, "and since we had been exploring earlier I was a bit hungry. I went down to the kitchens to have a taste leaving Lucius still asleep in our cabin. When I reached the kitchen I found all of the counters covered in flour, but there was no one in sight. Then I was stabbed, and well . . . that's all I remember. I didn't see the killer at all. In fact, the last thing I remember was seeing the dropped kitchen knife on the floor."

Narcissa looked to Lucius, who was attempting to hold her hand, but unfortunately that sort of thing is difficult for ghosts to perform. Instead he addressed the group with his story.

"I didn't see the killer either," he said, "My throat was slit while I was sleeping, so I didn't see anything at all. I'm sorry."

Pandemonium must have eaten too much at the dining hall because one moment she was munching on the delicious top of a muffin and talking with some of the guests of the ship and the next minute she was waking up in her rooms feeling extremely lethargic.

"Stupid carb coma..." She murmured, straightening herself up and pushing up off of the bed. Tying her lengthy blond hair back she walked out of her rooms with a book in hand and went in search of the others.

It didn't take her long though, shouts of murder and ghost interrupted her thoughts. Following the sounds she found a group of people standing near a ghostly figure of Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy.

"What in good riddance happened here?"

TT shuddered involuntarily as Narcissa was speaking.

"Why would anyone do a thing like that...?" she murmered, almost inaudibly.

She glanced around the room, after the Horseman's question. She saw flour, blood, a body... but... no knife... and no bread...

"Well this is certainly amusing" Pandemonium commented, pulling out a pen from her pocket and jotting some words down in the front page of the untitled book she had brought with her

"Very interesting indeed..." Writing out the words bread, knife, and murder she felt content and set her pen back into her pocket.

"Amusing..." TT nodded. "Really don't see it..."



[XD]

[@ Narcissa... well, at least there's no Twilight involved this time. ]

The Signora Psyche Zenobia pondered over what Narcissa's story. "So, how did flour get everywhere?" she wondered aloud. "Is the killer extremely messy? I don't suppose there are any fingerprints or marks in the flour?" She stooped to examine the counter.

"Look, I didn't see anything. No bread, no murderer. Just flour, everywhere," Narcissa repeated, "Perhaps there was something I wasn't supposed to see, but the murderer doesn't have to worry, because I obviously didn't see it."

"And I was sleeping for goodness sake!" Lucius chimes in, still distraught and thinking about what the Dark Lord would do when he found out two of his most loyal servants had been murdered aboard a cruise ship. So much for being in his good graces.

(Goodness, I've missed a lot so far, that's what happens when you're not feeling well and not very active on the computer)

Morfindes was in the library, browsing through books, something she always did. Word was going around the ship that someone had been murdered. She rushed out of the library and went to join the other guests. It seemed that everyone knew of the murder. Of course, it was a cruise ship, all aboard heard almost instantly.

"Oh dear, a murder?" she said as she saw Narcissa's ghost. She looked around at all the guests. "There is no where for the murderer to escape to since we are on a ship. He or she could be standing among us right now."

"But what would the murder be doing in the kitchen that you weren't supposed to see?" TT wondered. "Baking bread? Why was he baking anyways?" TT sighed. "None of this makes sense to me"

Suddenly, Ed felt a sense of dread steal over his very soul. Roy Mustang was on the ship.

Abandoning the mysterious room for the time being, Edward dashed downstairs, just in time to hear the pertinant details. "Well, there doesn't seem to be any bread, maybe the killer took the bread with them when they left?"

"So maybe our murderer likes to bake?" Morfidnes said, making a reference to the bread and flour. "Interesting I think."

"No, I didn't see anything amiss at all," Lucius said, stiffening at the mention of his name, "Mind you, I'm a light sleeper, and I usually keep my wand under my pillow or right beside me. This murderer must have been particularly quiet since I did not awaken."

Lucius ignored Narcissa's warning look when he mentioned his wand. He didn't see any reason why he should hide their status as witches and wizards when neither the Ministry nor the Dark Lord could do anything to them now that they were dead.
