[Ugh! Well, when Galo smells smoke, he's immediately running into the hallway, dead on his feet or not. He won't really take the time to carefully examine anything; he's just trying to find the source of it.]
[He's hurrying, so it's possible he'll step in some of it anyway, we'll see! But once they get to the top of the stairs...there's nothing. The smell is gone.]
Listen, it's going to come out tomorrow anyway, so I'm not gonna mince words. She killed Nia. Or at least she transformed into the thing that did. There's no question about it.
week 2; post investigation
no subject
Is something on fire?
no subject
[This is. Distressing to him!]
Help me find where it's coming from. We gotta make sure it's out.
no subject
[ but he nods, and starts to walk around to see where the it smells strongest. ]
I don't even see smoke.
no subject
It smells like something that's still burning, too. Ugh! What the hell!
no subject
[ he starts walking towards the stairs and then just. stops. ]
Uh...
no subject
[Whirling around to go check out the stairs. Oh.]
Aww, shit. It's the werefish again, huh? She slimed all over the place and somebody tried to fight her with fire?
no subject
[ SINCE THERE'S THREE GODDAMN CASES!!! ]
no subject
[Ugh. He's so fucking tired.]
I can't just let everybody go to sleep if there's a chance there's a fire burning somewhere.
no subject
We can still check the other floors to make sure. Third's probably our best bet since there's no smoke coming from any of these.
no subject
Yeah. It might be up there.
[He's going to. Try to climb the stairs while avoiding all the nasty slime.]
no subject
and then goes after him. avoiding slime. ]
no subject
I don't smell it anymore, do you?
no subject
[ he frowns, and then turns around and starts going back down ]
Shit, is it in one of the rooms then?
no subject
It could just be. Magic or whatever? Like how only some people can see the crime scenes sometimes. If that's the case, we might not find it at all.
no subject
If that's it, then the fire most likely won't spread elsewhere, I think.
no subject
[But it still makes him really nervous.]
I'll check the bedrooms, anyway.
no subject
[ considering uh, one of the people in it mcdied so ]
no subject
[Pausing in his fire frenzy to realize he could show some sympathy.]
I'm sorry. I tried to find her before curfew so something like this wouldn't happen.
no subject
[ he knows that it realistically wouldn't have made a difference since they're all put to sleep but... ]
no subject
[It. Definitely wouldn't have made a difference, though. Chewing his lip.]
Also, hey. Did you know about her?
no subject
[ terrible idea ]
... Meltryllis?
no subject
[He pauses for a second, considering.]
Listen, it's going to come out tomorrow anyway, so I'm not gonna mince words. She killed Nia. Or at least she transformed into the thing that did. There's no question about it.
no subject
And how did you all find out?
no subject
[He gets that Toi doesn't exactly look happy, but. He's not backing down.]
But there could have been others, too.
