1st victim

[stagemanagers]

[The performers have been in the opera house for nearly two weeks now. Overall, despite the captivity, the experience has been a mellow one even with the introduction of the motive. Peaceful almost.

It's 7 am Friday morning. As everyone starts to putter out of their dressing rooms and begin the day, something feels different. A certain heaviness in the air, a sense of dread...oh, and then there's the metallic smell of blood coming from the hallway.

Investigate?]

[Great, Seymour is just going to stay here for awhile with his medicine then.

There is still a body outside and he's not exactly looking forward to seeing all that blood again.]

[catliketread]

[THANKS, MURDERER....

So how many other clues are we looking at here?]

[stagemanagers]

[The material is rigid like glass, but it doesn't feel exactly the same.]

[solomonjihad]

[Hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm. That is definitely....interesting. Combining that with the scent of blood from before...it seems bread dad has not been bread dead for very long at all.

Aside from that, anything else?]

[sunshineprincess]

It's not glass... Maybe some of that weird future material? Plastic?

[Is it plastic?]

[stagemanagers]

[Nah, we're cool, Scary Astarte]

[solomonjihad]

[Excellent! Now to go and scare everyone else with her creepiness!]

[stagemanagers]

[This area's clear, dude, there's just one more thing out in the hallway.]

[catliketread]

[GOOD JOB ME, I DID IT]

[stagemanagers]

[It's not exactly the same as the plastic she's encountered, but yeah, it's pretty much plastic.]

[Oh ew, Raoul has followed Winslow to double check the sink and ew.]

That sort of stain...it could only be made by something soaking in bloodied water for a considerable amount of time, couldn't it?

[onthebusagain]

[Oh noooooooo! Poor criminal grandpa. Was there anything dropped nearby, or is it just the blood?]

[stagemanagers]

[Well, it looks like someone dripped a second trail of blood nearby!]

[onthebusagain]

[Ugh, gross! If you can't tell by her little chant--] Gross, gross, gross... [Where is it going?

[stagemanagers]

[It goes right past the body (with no apparent pause) and off into the lobby.

Congratulations, you found all the blood in the immediate vicinity, Heather! Unless you'd like to take a closer look at any of it?]

AREA CLEAR

[NO WAY, blood and murder is so 1987. She's done.]
