Red Hallway

The hallway connects to the dining room. Different doors sprout out in different directions. Some are just closets, but others lead to more interesting locations. There's a bend near the end of the hall, leading to the dorms.

Paradi: "...Hmm. Interesting."

They pick up a knife lying on the floor of the hallway. It's completely clean, without an ounce of blood on it.

"Any idea why this would be here, my dear worldburner~?"

Tarnish: "...No. No idea."

He still seemed incredibly upset, a serious look coating his face.

Tarnish: "Did it come from the kitchen? I noticed a knife was absent from there when the party started..."

Paradi: "Well it sure looks like a kitchen knife..."

He puts it in his pocket for now. "Let's continue onwards. Perhaps we should check the dorms?"

Tarnish: "The dorms?"

Paradi: "It's good to check everywhere, you know~."

Tarnish: "...Fair enough. The wisest lords are the ones who consider every option."

Phew. He still says insane shit.

012's Dorm

Paradi: ...The door to her dorm is wide open, and the two walk inside.

...Only to see an opened vent, and the limbs of the dead nyric partially stuffed inside of it.

...But oddly enough, there's no blood in all of the flooring. And the abdomen is entirely missing.

Paradi: "Oh! Curious...how curious. What do you think, Tarnish?"

Tarnish: "...Why...why's the door opened? Who opened it? Gust wouldn't just leave it open..."

Tarnish: Sniff sniff.

"...Wait."

Tarnish looks at the floor again...and, despite how red it is, he notices a bit of wet red on the floor...

...A trail. He retraces his steps for a moment, and notices that this foul-smelling trail leads down the entire red hall...and into the dining room. He runs back to Paradi. "There's a blood trail! and it goes all the way to the dining room we had our party in!"

Paradi: "...Oh. So then, someone must have taken the head from here...to there."

They look at the floor. "...But for something so graphic, where is all the blood? How interesting..."

Tarnish: "No idea. Perhaps, they were good at using a mop..."

Paradi: "A possibility...actually, now I must ask. Is there any point where someone could've put the head in all your food?"

Tarnish: "We were all in there for the entire time! ...Well, besides when Firestarter and Arsenic fought. We all rushed out into the hallway, and left everything unattended...foolish in hindsight."
