Firefox and Tantei Gakuen Q Drabbles 31-35
I think I might like Firefox best. Strangely enough, I'm having trouble signing into my ff.net account. I know I'm typing in the correct password and e-mail but it keeps telling me that I need to return to the login screen. I'll have to play around the with the settings to get everything the way I want. May try Opera tomorrow. :) I used to use that on my old computer. Wonder how much it has changed since the last time I used it?

Title: Staged
Prompt: 49 Queen
The young woman had been called the Queen of the stage. Now, she laid, sprawled out steps to the stage like a puppet with its strings cut.
“We thought she was trying to get us going again,” a student said tearfully. “She liked to try stuff to see what she could pull off. Once, she made it look like stabbed, fake blood and all.”
Kyuu listened from behind a curtain. His eyes surveyed the backstage area. After the initial shock of finding a schoolmate dead wore off, his mind had slipped into 'detective mode' to look for clues.

Title: Memory
Prompt: 36 Smell
Megu was glad that she couldn't remember the smells of crime scenes. 'I wouldn't be able to do this if I could remember the smells,' she thought, covering her mouth and nose with a scented handkerchief as she looked around the days old crime scene. Even with the body gone, the smell of death still hung in the air.
Finally, she ran out of room to look at and knew it was time to look at where the body had been found. Part of her quailed deep inside at what she was going to see. It would not be pleasant.

Title: Cactus
Prompt: 18 Green
A little boy stared at potted cactus. The cactus seemed to be sweating. The kid reached out with a finger and poked the plant in a non-needle spot, jumping back when the plant twitched, moving away from the kid.
His face took on a fearful look. He tugged on his mother's skirt. “Mommy, that plant moved!” he said, his eyes tearing up.
Her eyes swept the plant but noticed nothing out of the ordinary. “You must've touched a soft spot, honey,” she said. “Come or we'll be late.”
As soon as they were gone, the cactus relaxed.

Title: Hiding
Prompt: 6 Hours
Kyuu glanced out of the room he was hiding it. 'It's been hours,' he thought, 'It might be okay to come out.' He peeked out of the crack in the door again, his courage failing him utterly.
Carefully, he pulled the door closed, taking out his cell phone. There was still no message on it. He could recall Kinta yelling at him as he ran from Megu that they would let him know once it was safe to come out.
'How can she still be mad?' he wondered, opening the door for another peek. Megu stood on the other side.

Title: Vase
Prompt: 75 Shattered
Ryuu looked at the shattered vase. Something about the way it was broken seemed off. He knelt down for a closer look, noting how the vase itself had fractured. He picked up a piece and gave it a closer look.
It did not appear to be a normal ceramic and it did not appear to be a plastic or resin. 'A man made ceramic, perhaps?' he wondered. He tucked away the information in case he might need it later for the case.
The vase was not the only shattered item in the room, just the most unusual of the lot.
