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.]

[A lifetime of point and click mystery games has prepared him for this - what kind of stuff? Like dropped books? Trash? A sword?]

[stagemanagers]

[Oh, you recognize this! It looks like one of those pamphlets you all received containing the cast profiles! This one looks like it's been creased and marked up a lot.]

[justmeheere]

[Huh. Marks like writing? Does it look like anyone's handwriting he'd probably recognize?]

[stagemanagers]

[You won't be able to identify any handwriting, because there's not really any writing going on here! Red, Richard, Jonny, and Sigyn's photos have been crossed out with thick X's. That's about the closest it comes to writing proper.

As for the rest - there are a lot of punctures through several other photos, as if stabbed through with a pen. These photos are: Nana, Steven, Spinel, Riley, and yourself, Jeremy.]

[Wow. So. So glad he's found this piece of evidence. Truly, this investigation is a series of people finding concerning evidence for them, personally.

..................... I'm afraid to ask this: is there anything else?]

[stagemanagers]

[Actually, no, there's no further curses in this particular area of the library!]

[Oh thank god I was afraid you were gonna tell me there was a bloody knife or something.]
