fifth investigation

[stagemanagers]

[Oh, what a night.
Why'd it take so long to see the light,
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right.
What a time, what a night.

What a night last night was! Dancing under the stars, romance, family...all the things a good school dance should stand for. Even with everyone being sick it could still, overall, be considered a hige success.

But on the subject of the sickness thats spread through the school...when people start to rouse from their dance-fuled exhaustion in the morning all the symptoms seem to be completely gone. Which should be good news but knowing what day it is.

Maybe you should leave your dorms and investigate.]

[Nothing here!]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[And just gonna poke her head into the kitchen... Just to be sure.]

[stagemanagers]

[Also clear!]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Wonderful! fridge-related deaths averted!

Time to head down to the costume room]

[stagemanagers]

[The costume room is in chaos. At the center of the storm, alone, lies a body covered in grey fabric.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Cass stops mid-step. The room could have been on fire, but all that would have mattered is the form resting in the center of it all, draped in muted colors completely out of place in here.

Almost hesitantly, Cass steps over the mess towards the body, checking if it's moving at all... And with surprising effort, she pulls the fabric back.]

[stagemanagers]

[It's good that you're stepping up, Cass! Now that you've found an extremely unmoving body - now that the chips are down.

Eurydice is dead.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Help yourself to hell with the rest
Even the one who loves you best]

Eurydice...

[She almost wants to curl up into herself, just close her eyes and shut out the world.

Instead, she jumps up and races out of the room to yell:]

We've got another body in here!
