Murder mystery; Final day

Oct 31, 2010 14:48

[Happy Halloween, dressing room! This section of the building has been fully decked out for the occasion-- jack-o'-lanterns, spider webs, and bowls of candy are everywhere. In one place, there's even blood dripping from the ceiling.

Real blood.

recordsfire has been strung up from a light fixture, killed from multiple stab wounds. There's no sign of anything that could have been used as a ladder to get him up there anywhere nearby, strangely.

fallenmugen is dead in another room, with the same burns as some of the previous victims. Luckily the bucket of tar and feathers that has been dumped over her only cover half of her face, so she's still identifiable. There is a single glove covered in tar and feathers in a cupboard in the same room.

un_stitched was not so lucky. If it weren't for the clothes he's wearing, he wouldn't be identifiable at all. His head is completely gone-- anyone with enough stomach to look for it will find it sealed in a pumpkin not far away, and judging from that he was actually killed by a blow to the head. A bloody axe is in another cupboard not far away.

pentancleclown is slumped in a dark hallway, a sheet with two holes for eyes draped over him. His foot was caught in an animal trap, and it seems he was shot several times in the chest before he could get free.

Sticking with the Halloween theme, un_phase_d has a large scythe stuck in his back, not that any other Noah need to see that to know he's dead. There is a message with him, in red paint. "And then there stole into my fancy, like a rich musical note, the thought of what sweet rest there must be in the grave."

Another Tyki, cardio_swindle , was killed in a somewhat less violent way. He's slumped over a table, dead from poison. He, too, has a message. "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

Surely the other Noah must he bawling by now-- a third Tyki, betweenabsentee , has some limbs missing and seems to have died from blood loss. Like the others, he has another message. "Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before."

Finally, improvedkarma was killed by stabbing, a seemingly mundane death compared to the others. His message: "All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry."

All of the murders seem to be rather... fresh. The murderers might still be nearby.

((ooc: Last post! Ballroom, style, as usual, and the culprits will be responding to threads! Confront them as you will. And this time, victims coming back can remember what happened to them! Previous victims may also get their memories back.))
