Cognitive Logic in Understanding Evidence; Wednesday, Second Period [01/20].

Last week, the party had convened to the ballroom, to discover a body assumed to be their absent host, the life presumably having been bludgeoned out of him by a candlestick found nearby. But it turned out that the body in the ballroom was not in fact that of the missing Mr. Corpse, but was, in fact, an incredibly hyper-realistic dummy and the blood pooling around his head was actually raspberry jam.

Look, it was the danger shop. Rosa could do whatever she wanted.

The candlestick, it should be noted, and the blood on it were quite real.

(Well, except the whole danger shop part, so none of it was real, but---anyway).

Curious.

It was at this time that the butler was also noted to have been missing, disappeared during the inspection of the body, but the trembling, terrified maid informed the party that she had seen him slip out through the door of the ballroom's western door, across which was the constervatory. Perhaps a pursuit may in in order? Or was there something else still more intriguing to pursue instead?

The plot has certainly...well, not thickened, arguably just got stupider, but the plot was definitely attempting to do...something!

Lana turned around to the maid and did her best to project steadying thoughts at her. "Right. Where did you last see Mr. Corpse? The real one?"

"Right. Well, could you please go and see if he's still up there?" She gestured the maid toward the stairs.

Lana was getting that impression, yes. She sighed and looked around for any other servants, then gave up and headed upstairs on her own, checking each room for Mr. Corpse.
