*the cabinet has already been ransacked of its silverware, plates, etc...though Milo might hear a creak when he stands on the rug by the cabinet*
Current WHABP alts: Jani (Sarah) the Purrloin, Hudson the Togetic. Tilly/Lilly (Digletts) are being Put on a Bus."Or walkin' around lookin' suspicious? Lest we forget, as badly as we may pretend to, I'm tryin'a hide my royal status, am I not?" [I laugh at my little slips into character there...I'm not too worried about the heirs anyhow. Besides, if they catch wind of a prince Braixen's presence in Slak Rock (and not of a princess' presence), then that would be all the better for our plan, would it not?]
"So...where to next? Wanna skip the shop and see if we can't pull some strings?"
Horror House
We could try dat, unless dair's somethin' we're missin'... (Marsha says. She's visibly relieved that she doesn't have to keep trying to continue to waddle through the messy hallway. She makes her way back to the others.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."

Hopping from a restaurant to a pub? Seems a bit odd for around noon or whatever it is... *Sarah then shrugs, then says at normal volume* Well Auts, we tried waffles like I wanted to, so let's totally do what you want to do next! *she says that last part with a more chipper tone*

*the creaking noise is coming from beneath the rug*

*I can't help but smile at the younger Niles trying to play Spiderman on the bookshelves
, despite the danger he's putting himself in as well as Finley's similarly dangerous intervention
.*
PJ: "I wanna say Fin's got it but... better safe than sorry."
*Carrying my book (with little difficulty despite its size), I head over to the bookshelves Niles snd Finley are scaling, attempting to keep up a dialogue with Mila
in the midst of this.*
PJ: "So, first thing, you really don't wanna do what I'm doing, all I'm doing is isolating myself and running into random-ass Pawniarmy guys. There aren't that many here, but still, they put me on edge. And second..."
*I point at Niles.*
PJ: "When did this happen, just now? Sometime before? And is there anything else that I missed?"
Are you ready? Go live!(I heard the creaking and followed the duo to the rug under the Umbreon. I muttered to myself.) Either it sounds like a loose board, or a trap door. (Either way, this might lead us to our killer.)

*beneath the tattered rug is indeed a trap door. Pulling on a ring will open it*

I've a song in my heart and head I'd want this town to hear...a song from home that is." [Of course, an ambiguous definition of home...and surely enough of an odd spectacle to turn a few heads. I look out for mushrooms...the Fragile Faces, a bar ripped straight from a Roger Dean album cover...kind of a cute name, though I can't say if they indeed has an album in mind, especially with that name. Maybe some previous human's to blame for it...I wouldn't be surprised.]
"...say, I was wondrin'...were y'ever there t'see the singing contest?"

*Sarah nods, perhaps overdoing it by adding* You think they really know Fox— I mean, Lunalan songs there? *before quietly responding to Finlord's question* The Gleamscape one that got canceled? Yeah...I was there the first day. Saw the whole thing...why? *"Sarah" had always claimed to see the contest, being a music junkie and all*

Other than that, there's another loose cannon that I think the rest of our group went off to deal with... then there's Andy' disappearance and the people coming after Fin. I just... I don't know what to do. Where do we start? And now with the king dead too..."
Mila decides to leave out her own panicked breakdown, but her speech patterns and expressions do everything they can to make it obvious to PJ that she hasn't been in a good state of mind recently. All the climbing on the bookshelves certainly isn't helping her keep calm. Right now she has to wonder what this scene would look like to a passing employee, and what she'd have to do to explain herself.
I need to update these things more often

Beyond the Trap Door
*beyond the trap door is a basement which is is heavily flooded, with water occupying 2/3 of the vertical space. As there are no windows, it is almost entirely pitch black on its own. A narrow staircase allows access into the basement, but only one mon at a time could squeeze through the hatch*
*Tilly looks down and realizes she's pretty much SOL, even though she can swim. She simply offers a* Good luck, and be careful... *to the others*

(I report to the group with me.) Looks like the floor's all clear. There's no clear sign of our killer. Let's let the others know. (I make my way downstairs taking care to not trigger any traps. I replied out to the group below.) Upstairs is empty.
