second investigation

[arsholes]

[Friday again? Oh dear...

It’s entirely possible that the ruthless murder last week was a fluke. A one-off incident that, with the perpetrator dead and dissolved into purple smoke, leaves the surviving apprentices free to try and live out the next 28 days without further bloodshed.

But it’s been a few days since the Alchemist’s motive and just like last week the tower feels deathly still and eerily quiet as people roll out of bed to start their day.]

[Dog is whining and curled up next to Red Velvet's body. He doesn't respond to any attempts to talk to him... He just whimpers and nuzzles closer to Red Velvet's body. But maybe there's something to find by looking at him?]

Hey, there...

[Bruno kneels down to run a hand over Chiffon's...frosting. What've we got here?]

[arsholes]

[Chiffon looks completely unharmed, at least physically. He's just sort of listless and sad, making soft whining noises.

His little cake paws are filthy with dirt.]

[predecir]

[Bruno sits down cross-legged and pats his lap. He feels bad, but also, it'd be easier for Finn and Stella if Chiffon were a little out of the way.]

Come here, bebé... [Can we inspect those paws any closer?]

[arsholes]

[Chiffon refuses to move but he'll permit Bruno to look at his feeties.

They look a little torn up under the dirt. Not to the point of bleeding at all but irritated from overuse.]

Sana sana colita de rana, si no sanas hoy, sanarás mañana...

[He's just gonna pet the doggy and sing a little song, and hope that cake paws actually can heal.]

[cakerights]

[It's a nice song! It seems to settle Chiffon down a bit... he closes his weird little eyes on the same side of his head, still whimpering quietly]
