"Striking?" Starbuck pretended to think. "Well, possibly the large, pink, lethal pinata that - struck - me and damaged my body's nose irreparably. Which was after I returned from meeting a friend at the theatre and came into the ballroom to look for my comm unit, which I needed but left in here. I was passing under the pinata when I got that familiar sensation of impending doom. I looked up, just in time to have that.... disgrace to party decorations ... descend upon my head and break my neck on impact." She paused for a breath that she didn't need. Habit. "One thing I will say, the timing was impeccable. Whoever did it had to release the pinata when I was exactly under it."

The ghost of MB opened her eyes, and realizing she was several feet from the ground let out a ghastly shriek and instinctively jumped several feet.

Floating high above her body for the moment, she realized she was in fact...dead.

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....okay. WHAT?" exclaimed the ghost of MB. "Ummm....well, this is certainly...interesting." Once it finally hit MB that she was no longer alive, she let out a stream of curses that would make even a sailor blush. She let out a sigh...and said, "Man, and I was so close. Ha ha ha ha ha." Then she started giggling uncontrollably. "Actually, this is quite amusing. And kind of cool!" She continued to laugh hysterically while the rest of the guests gathered below her corpse.

Another person dead. This was certainly... bad. Shadowcat looked up at Montana and shivered. This was all so wrong. She wanted nothing more than to cower under the table and whimper incoherently, but that most likely wouldn't solve anything. She bit her lip and waited for Montana to tell them her last memories.

She did not want to see the dead body. What was the rush? Not like it's going anywhere.

Ali stayed by herself in the diningroom, halfheartedly pushing a few pieces of candy corn across a plate in front of her on the floor, grimacing at it. As much as she'd hate losing her precious candy it would have been fun to be a ghost. She was even paying attention more just in case she needed to give the others clues. So much for the bait idea.

"HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO all!" the Ghost of MB said, trying to sound spooky. It didn't work, it just sounded comical.

"Hmmmm.....last memories, eh? Well, let me see. Ahh yes, I woke up here in the ballroom after everyone had gone to bed. I think I passed out ... or something after seeing Starbuck's body. Ummmm...." The Ghost of MB hesitated. She realized suddenly that no longer was she going to be able to...reach for her hip flask. She wailed and moaned and did all the ghostly things that seemed to come so natural to her now.

Then she smacked her ghost-self on the forehead.
"Knock it off you fool! You're DEAD for crying out loud! Get over yourself!" She glanced at the crowd below and giggled nervously. "Riiiight, sorry. I'm still getting used to BEING DEAD."

She floated down to Ellie's side and looked him straight in the eyes. "I was collecting clues, when a theory dawned on me. I ran straight up to my room, locked the door and windows, and sat down to try and figure it all out. THAT'S all I remember."

"What did you find out?" asked Shadowcat. "Do you remember?"
Montana was certainly making an ... interesting ghost, to say the least. If she could remember what it was that she had found out, they could possibly get an important lead.

Ælfthryth drifted happily into the room and when she spotted Monty's ghost and the hanging corpse, she shrieked with glee. "Welcome to our dead ranks, my dear," she said cheerily. "The more the merrier!" She flew in circles around Monty's dead body and watched the huddled guests below with great interest.

_________________

"Hello, m'dear! My fellow ghostie!" the Ghost of MB said gleefully to Ælfthryth. She watched the guests with Ælfthryth and seeing the look on Shadowcat's face commented, "They do seem to not really understand us, do they? Ha ha ha!!"

She sighed and floated down to Shadowcat.

"Well, ... let me think." She just kind of hovered near Shadowcat in a state of ghostly contemplation. "I don't exactly have my notes with me....not that I could finger through them anyhow. I'm a bit...unsolid? Ha ha ha." She looked nervously at Shadowcat.

"From what I can dredge up from the depths of my memory, I seem to remember thinking that it was interesting that all the deaths happened whilst we were eating. Whether or not they literally occured at the meal times or if the bodies had just been conviently found during the meal times, I hadn't yet figured out."

MB floated off seemingly lost in thought. She started talking again, but it sounded like it was just to herself. "At the front entrance...under the pinata. The PINATA! That's RIGHT! There was a dent in the pinata. I remember thinking, this could've just been a simple burglary gone wrong. Ælfthryth might've just scared the intruder...and Starbuck could've interrupted the killer trying to get into the pinata! Perhaps the killer or killers dropped the pinata on accident? But something about the carrot found and the murders being during meal times....struck me as unusual."

She whipped around quickly. "Was anyone eating carrots night before last? Buuuuut....then there was the evidence that Kit found this morning. Which could still mean they were trying to get into the pinata. Sort of backs up my theory. That's my theory. Dunno if I'm anywhere close to guessing correctly."

She stopped dead. No pun intended. "But that doesn't explain MY death. I made damn well sure that my doors and windows were locked last night. I spent what I remember of the rest of last night pouring over notes and memories of both murders...munching on some salty snacks like peanuts because I hadn't had dinner."

Hmmmm.... she thought. Meal time murders, a carrot, ... peanuts? "Someone has a food obsession methinks!" she laughed.

PD watched the ghost of MB appearing, she couldn't say this was out of the ordinary or really a strange sight to her anymore. she listened thoughtfully to what MB had to say. "oh, great! So now I shall be afraid to even EAT?!" she shook her head. "this is getting out of control! Anyway, obviously the killer knew you were onto him or her if he/she killed you just as you had just come up with a theory, right?"

"That seems more than likely," Shadowcat commented. "But the pinata. Maybe we should go investigate the pinata, to see if there's any clues in there?"

"Good idea Shadowcat!" Will said and then continued more thoughtful : "I guess we should stick together as a group. No wandering around alone for then you might me the killer as well as the victim."

Ælfthryth sighed. "The one drawback of being a ghost, it seems... is not being able to remember events that lead to our deaths." She flew in and out of Monty, just because she could, and tutted yet again. "At least we won't have to fear eating or meals any more," she said smugly. "Not that we have any thing else to fear either, being ghosties and all."

"So, I ate something and don't remember anything after that. Hmph. Well that sucks."

She looked at PD, "Well, I didn't tell anyone what I thought before I died. Seeing as no one was downstairs with me. I suppose they could've been lurking behind a curtain or something and saw me poking around the crime scenes. But I think you might be right. I was probably killed for the possibility that I might know too much." She sighed, "I thought knowledge was supposed to set you free."

MB nodded in agreement with what Shadowcat said. "What IS in that ridiculous pinata??"
