"Interestin' folks ya got here!" Pat commented, trying not to let the gloomy atmosphere get him down. "So, what're ya all here for? I heard some kinda invite was mentioned? Was this a party o' somethin'? Why were y'invited? Any of you ever met this John fella? Also, Philip- can I call ya Phil?- what's with the lab coat? Strange outfit for a butler, I'd say."

"Anyone ever tell you you ask a lot of questions, buddy?"
"I wear a lab coat because I am a scientist!"

Image
"Who just happens to be a butler as well."
"It's kinda cool."

Image
"Y-yes, well, everyone needs a job."
"I'd never waste my genius doing research for anyone else."
"Science is my hobby, buttling is what funds my hobby."

Image
"We're all here for a family gathering of sorts."
"John's my uncle. My dad was a Porter, if you were wondering why my name is different."

Image
"If it wasn't already clear, this is master John's manor."
"Philip and I work here."

Image
"And I live here."

Image
"You freeload here. One day you'll actually get a job, or get married like master John wants."

Image
"Don't be ridiculous! I have every right to be here."
"Why would I need a job when I already have enough money to live comfortably?"

Image
"Wasn't John starting to cut you off?"

Image
"Oh, don't you remind me."
"He thinks he can push me towards marriage."
"I will not leave one cage just to move into another!"

Maria looked down at her left ring finger, then said: "Hey, there is nothing wrong with marriage if you both love each other..."

"...but I suppose if you are being forced, that is not good either... that said, exactly how much money would you lose out on if you got cut off? What's wrong with getting a job?"

"Yes, well... I'll make him see reason!"

"In other words she'll throw a tantrum."

Image
"Oh, please, I'm not a little girl anymore, as you can plainly see!"

Image
"...No, no, still seeing a spoiled child."

Image
"Ridiculous! I don't know how dad puts up with you."

"To be fair, princess, Philip is pretty much a savant."
"And he's the only guy around who can fly that helicopter."

"I can't even imagine writing so many words for other people to read."
"You're the, the cool one."

"All the time!" Pat responded, unfazed. "How'd a guy like you end up settling for bein' a butler, anyhow? Sure is an interestin' side gig to have."

"And Porter, huh?" He turned to Rori. "So did your mum marry into the family or somethin'? Interesting... in any case, journalism is a pretty good job to have, so be proud of that! If Mr. Scientist here appreciates it then even I know it's a good job for ya."

"Anyway, any of ya ever heard of this Deid guy before this meeting? I s'pose he's just a well known politician but... Any specifics sure would help!"

"Great, a politician. Another dead guy a lot of people would hate. So much for making it easy to narrow suspects down." Mai sighed and shook her head. "So, uh, why's the judge here, anyway? Another unknown invite?"

"No, no, he's an old friend of master John's."
"They grew up together, though they weren't in contact while master John served."
"Once that was all over, I believe they met by chance in a bar?"
"So goes the story, at any rate."

By now the group had moved on, and were close to the next flight of stairs. Betty gestured down one of the corridors; Rori seemed to be keeping their distance.

Image
"The room at the end, on your right, is for master John's cat, Mallow."

"He's a mangy old thing, so I don't think he minds."
"A real sweetheart if you get to know him though!"

TV-Head comes out of the bathroom, toweling off their suit.

They walk over and find the cat, petting it. “Hey, so who killed that guy? You can tell me, I’m not the police.”

"KITTYYY!!!" GUNS yelled out, probably startling the cat. She started skating around the area.

"So like... why's everyone gathered here in the manor anyway? Just a lil' partyin'?"

"Oh, what a handsome kitty!" Kris said excitedly. She quickly rushed over to Mallow, and began petting him. After a few moments, she was satisfied and rejoined the others.

Before she could say anything however, she sneezed rather loudly and promptly collapsed afterwards.

"OH JEEBS, KRIS!!!" GUNS rushed over to the collapsed girl and grabbed her by the shoulders. She then proceeded to shake her up and down like a cartoon character.

"ARE YOU OKAY?!?! WAKE UUUP, YOU CAN'T DIE AGAIN!!"

"Let go of me, you moron!" A slightly deeper, yet still feminine voice shouted. "Or do you want me to stab ya?!" The woman struggled as she freed herself from GUNS's grip, and pressed a hidden button on her crucifix causing a bloodstained blade to manifest from it. She pointed the blade at GUNS as she took a few steps backwards.

The woman was dressed in the same clothes as Kris, but one look at her face would show they were not quite the same. What once was Kris's blue hair was now red. Her eyes were now red as well. She glared at GUNS as she twirled the dagger around in her hands.

"Don't you or anyone else call me by that name ever again!"

"AOAOAOAOAOGHA!!!" GUNS instinctively reached into one of her pockets and pulled out a knife as well. She pointed it at "Kris".

"WHAT THE FUCK!!! What's your name then?!?!"

"My name is Lady D. Eyvel." She responded. "But you can call me Eyvel. Or Lady if you wish."

She pointed her knife at GUNS once again. "I've been waiting for a fight ever since I've died! Do you know how hard it is being trapped in that body with that moron controlling it?! She just wants to be nice and pray for everyone and everything! I just want to stab and burn shit! I'm sick of it!"

Akari reacted quickly, pulling out a large knife with an ornate handle from…somewhere. She grabbed the nearest person, who happened to be Light, and held the blade to his neck. It was unclear how this was supposed to resolve the situation.

“Alright, alright. Why are we all pulling out knives? We’re dead, right? What are we gonna do? Kill each other? Again? Let’s just go back to being all calm and normal and…blue.”

Edgar looked around nervously for a minute before thinking fast and smashing his mug against a wall, ending up with a small and kinda pointy segment of it still attached to the handle. "I stopped paying attention for five minutes what's going on now? Did Death change the rules? Do we need to kill each other now?"

GUNS grinned. "Actually since we're dead wouldn't it mean we can fight like this?? I have something even more exciting though, hehehe..."

She slowly reached into her side pocket this time and pulled out...... a finger gun.

"BANG! Just kiddin'. I don't actually have a license for that. Still down for a nice knife fight tho!!!" She exclaimed, ignoring Light's situation.

"Go ahead and stab him!" Lady shouted. "I don't care about him! I'm finally free! I'm never going back to being blue!"

She then looked around at the others drawing their own knives and sharp objects and grinned. "Now this is getting exciting!"

Light faced the danger as anyone would, cold faced and with no expression.

He shuts his eyes and proceeds to talk. "I don't quite know what you're hoping to accomplish. This isn't the first knife fight I've been through in the ring. You've already lost your head, it'd be a shame if you lost something else."

He spoke confidently, but the man did have a knife to his neck, so he was indeed sweating nervously.

"Aw, c'mon folks!" Pat shook his head, clearly in far too good of a mood for something like this to get him down. "We can do better than this, I'm sure! We don' need to add to the body count here as well, do we? Why don' we all settle this in the trial like civilized people, eh?"

It was probably for the best that the living hadn't followed after into Mallow's room, so they had no idea what was happening in there.

Mallow, however, was of course in there with them, and decided to improve the situation by jumping onto Lady's head and screeching like a banshee. He didn't have a knife, but his claws were still plenty sharp.

Lady screamed in pain (do the dead feel pain?) and lowered her knife. “Get off me you stupid cat!” She yelled, as she tried to pry him off. Eventually she managed to free herself from his grip and she gently set him down. It seems she didn’t want to hurt him.

“Mm-hmm. Yeah. Like I haven’t heard that one before. But yeah, I realize this ain’t really helping matters. I just did what felt right…in the moment.”

Then Lady got attacked by the cat. Seizing the moment, she shoved Light aside and rushed over to Lady, aiming a sick flying kick to her face.

“What the fuck was that for?!” She shouted, as she stood back up. “I already put my knife away!”

"Yeah! C'mon, that wasn't fair!!!" GUNS said slowly gliding backwards as she put her own knife away.

"Um, well, if the fight's off we should go back to lookin' around, right? We can resume it later during the trial if you guys wanna."

Betty chose that moment to enter Mallow's Playroom, having been entirely unaware there was anything strange going on. The tour resumed, though Rori kept their distance from those who'd come into contact with Mallow. It was good that this was a limbo period and that they wouldn't actually get an allergic reaction.

The group headed upstairs. There wasn't all that much there, in part because the sloping roof cut off some of the space.

Image
"The door on your right is for master John's office."
"He keeps it locked at all times. Don't mess with it."

Image
"He's paranoid like that."
"He even got me to rig up sensors so he'd be notified whenever the door opened."

Image
"He's really quite ridiculous."
"It's no wonder he reacted like that when we found poor Deid in the library."

Image
"He made some very tough calls in his time as a lieutenant."
"I stand by his decisions. He ultimately saved more lives than he lost."
"Unfortunately not everyone can see it that way. Master John has a lot of enemies."

Image
"He walked an entire unit into an enemy ambush, near the end of his career."
"Most didn't make it out alive."
"Friends and family of the soldiers killed that day were never able to forgive him for his mistake."
"I think that's why he lives in such a remote, secluded location as this."

Image
"Misdirected blame, that's all that is."
"Enough of this, it's no topic for our guests to hear."
"We're nearly at the end of our tour, now."
"The room on the far left, there, is the observatory."

Image
"My late mother had it installed."
"She always enjoyed watching the night sky."
"These days it doesn't get much use, though."
"Maybe I should get it cleaned up and have a look up there myself one day..."

Image
"Hah! You always say that."
"If you want to look up at the sky, you need to take your head out of the clouds first."
"It'll never happen."

Image
"It'll happen sooner than the day you ever invent anything actually useful!"

After being shown the observatory, everyone returned to where they'd started and time began moving again. The dead, cut off from the living world, watched as a slideshow of events played around them.

Prologue, Part 2

The winds outside were truly horrendous. Philip and one of the other guests, Ingram, braved the weather and checked on the situation. They passed by the manor's private helicopter, and both agreed it would be impossible to fly in this weather. They then took Ingram's car and drove partway down the mountain, but were met with a shocking sight: the only bridge away from the area had been destroyed. The winds must have been too much for it, they reckoned. Ingram chided his friend John's lack of foresight, to have organised the party for this weekend despite the forecast.

Meanwhile, Betty headed off to phone the police, accompanied by another guest, Posey. The line was unresponsive. Posey suggested they call on her mobile, but the mountaintop manor was too remote to receive a signal. Betty pragmatically suggested they check the internet connection, but this was down too. There was no way to contact the police, nor anyone else in the outside world.

They regrouped to share the news, then found the others to inform them. Last to be told were the four in the library, as well as John further inside the manor in a guest room. Philip and Betty were elsewhere at this point, so Ingram and Posey broke the news.

Image
"...so you see, there's no way for anyone to leave."
"Nor can the police reach this place."

Image
"Not that we can contact them in the first place..."
"This is a right old mess."

Image
"We'll just have to wait for the winds to die down."
"Then the butler can fly and get help."

Image
"Oh my..."

Image
"This got pretty serious all of a sudden, huh?"

Image
"It was already pretty serious to begin with, though..."

Ingram and Posey moved on to inform John, though they had to yell through the door to communicate. Ingram, who was John's friend, did most of the talking this time.

Image
"It's a pretty bad situation."
"I don't suppose you've got any suggestions?"

Image
"We must weather the storm!"
"If you have any sense, you'll do as I do."
"I refuse to be killed before the police can arrive and settle matters!"

Image
"At this point we have no idea how long we'll be waiting for."

Image
"It's unreasonable to stay cooped up for that long!"
"Though I know I won't be going anywhere without at least two people with me from now on."

Image
"Do as you think right, as will I!"
"At the end of the day, we will see which of us had the right idea."
"Mark my words!"

It didn't seem like they could persuade him to leave. Ingram sighed, then returned with Posey to the library.

Free Time, Part 2

In the library, another limbo period began. Feeling uncomfortable with the dead body lying there, the six living people in the room decided to move to the adjacent guest corridor to talk. As it was a limbo period, the correct chain of events was preserved, and Deid's body would remain under watch when time began flowing again.

Image
"There we go, much better."
"Hello, loves, good to meet you all."
"I don't think we've been introduced yet? I'm Posey Glover."
"And this man here is Herr Ingram Redd. (He's German, you see!)"
"Don't mind his scar, it's just an old war wound. He's perfectly harmless really."

Image
"My, what a wonderful introduction."
"Yes, that's me, though you can just call me Ingram."

Image
"Noxx Zo. I must say, I detect a rather strange air around you all."
"Something not quite of this world."
"I warn you, I won't let any funny business occur under my watch!"

[Noxx's theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDAmkTrI6Wc]

They had already seen this man, of course, but only through a screen of sorts; he'd never seen them in turn. He stared at them all suspiciously, though whatever he was picking up on, the other living guests seemed unaware.

Image
"Hey now, no making enemies with people we've only just met!"
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ness Wit."

Image
"Truly a pleasure. My name's Ino Cente."
"Don't mind Noxx. He's an interesting man, but you get used to him."

Image
"(...I still haven't gotten used to him...)"
"Um, call me Ali. Ali Bye. Don't mind me, I'm no-one special."

There were quite a few people here this time, but the dead got the vague impression they weren't going to be all that important. Lastly, they knocked on John's door to get an introduction with the main man himself.

Image
"What? What is it?"
"You need no introduction from me!"
"Everyone here already knows my name."
"If you really want to talk, I won't stop you. It's a free country."
"But I'm still not going to open this door. You'll just have to shout."

They couldn't see John, of course, but the dead had already gotten a look at him earlier. He was a proud, imposing man, unhindered by his age. It was hard to imagine him owning a cat, but Betty had said that Mallow was his, so maybe he played with him sometimes.

[John De Silva: https://i.imgur.com/1fS1zeQ.jpg]

The man Posey introduced had spoken with a pronounced German accent. He almost seemed familiar somehow, but it was likely just a coincidence: the dead had certainly never seen his face before.

[Herr Ingram Redd: https://i.imgur.com/EWJg92u.jpg]

As for Posey herself, her smile suggested she knew something the recipient did not, but there was no malice to it. Her mannerisms and outfit altogether suggested she was a woman who lived life at her own pace and enjoyed every second of it.

Noxx, of course, the dead had already seen. Even now he was dressed in his strange wizard-like outfit, and he was still eying the dead analytically, possibly thinking he could detect some kind of magical aura around them.

The last three seemed like fairly ordinary people, and weren't even going to get separate paragraphs dedicated to them. Ino looked to be blind, but it was unlikely to have any relevance to the mystery.

"What're, uh... What do you three do?" Light scratches his chin and asks the three Siblings? Friends? Totally innocent bystanders? Whatever.

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you, regardless of these circumstances. Gotta make the most of the situation, yeah? Hopefully we can all get along."

"Well now!" Pat beamed. "That's a swell lot we've got 'ere. Y'seem like a pretty mild mannered fella yerself, Ingram! I'm assumin' y'knew John through the war? Wouldn't've expected ya to have been in one, but there we have it! What about you, Posey? How do you know the De Silvas?"

"Any of ya knew about Deid Purson, by the way?" He added slyly, hoping to glean more information about the victim.

"Multiple wars, actually."
"I was a sergeant, and often served under John's command."
"It's good of you to say that about me, really, but I fear those days will never truly leave me."
"Such is the way of things, I suppose."

Image
"As for me, I'm a friend of the family."
"I got on well with Phini - that's John's late wife, bless her soul."
"I'm older than I look! I'm quite proud of how well I've been able to take care of myself."

They all gave variations on "I don't know him" when questioned about Deid.

"So nobody seems to know the dead guy." Mai sighed and glanced at the ceiling for answers. "Are we even supposed to be figuring out who killed him, or are we just waiting for someone else to die?"

"Well, there's one last person we could try askin'..." Pat hit his fist against John's door several times. "Hey, Johnny! How didja know Deid Purson? Surely if somebody knows how he was invited here, it woulda been you, right?"
