first investigation

[stagemanagers]

Your second Friday in the gilded cage that is the Opera House feels very much like the one before. The only real exception is that today is the deadline for the Phantom’s offer, to erase a single person from existence in exchange for one of their lives. The morning is quiet as you all filter out of your rooms with no immediate signs that anyone’s taken your house manager up on his offer.

That is, except for the very small, dark stains on the carpet of the dressing room hallway but that’s probably unrelated.

[Thanks, wall. When he's ready he'll go ahead and straighten back up and take another look around. How's the floor, it messy at all?]

[stagemanagers]

[The carpet, at large, looks normal - there are no drag marks present or anything like that. But maybe you could look a little closer?]

[Presuming there's something to catch his eye, he absolutely will! And if there's not- well, maybe it's just at trick of the light that has him squat, then shift in to a kneel]

[You'll find that there's some drops of blood on the carpet! They're too intermittent to really form a trail, but they are all between the costume shop and the broom closet.]

[Oh!!! That's!!! Wonderful!!!

what else is here, he's looking for anything else to distract him from the possibility a body was carried]
