third investigation

[stagemanagers]

[At the start of Friday, things are surprisingly calm. There’s no blood on the hall carpet, presumably no bodies ready to fall out of a broom closet, nothing especially incriminating when the cast wakes up and emerges from their rooms. It’s possible this time, even with the palpable temptation of the Phantom’s motive, that no one has taken him up on his offer to kill. Maybe later today you won't have to march yourselves into the trial room to decipher clues and watch more of you die.

But the day is young.]

[You know what, he'll not fight the hug. Sorry you're dealing with his gross-sobbing teenaged self, Riley, this is finally offically Too Much for his facade.]

My mom hurt her so bad, and she didn't even know...

[Or. Knew part of it. Depending on backtags.]

[ It's okay. It's okay, she'll just. Give him a tight hug, after a brief stare at the shards and- no. No, not looking at them. ]

Shhh. I got you. I got you right now.

I finally get to use this icon

[holyspit]

[Yeah, just. Kind of sobbing for a bit before the investigation really starts.]

[You're a true hero, Riley.]
