Second Investigation

[wringmaster]

Investigation 2

Your days in the Cirque de l'Ardeur are coming to an end. It will be less than 48 hours until you're allowed to leave if you choose so. With the finish line in sight, all one must do now is survive until then.

However...one or more people may not have gotten to.

When everyone wakes up, nothing seems off. There are no burning tents right now. Despite that, as soon as they get wandering around, they'll notice something awful happened last night.

It's time for the second performance of the Cirque de l'Ardeur to begin.

[ Nothing chipped or imprinted. As for whether the wine(?) is blood, it is red and there's not much left in the glass. From a distance she can't make a concrete call on whether it is wine or not. ]

[ Oh, fine, closer it is at the risk of Money shenanigans. How's the possibly-not-wine looking now? Still sus? Also, does it look like someone drank from it? ]

[wringmaster]

[ It does look like someone drank from it! And it is clearly red wine, yay. Also good news, Clover gets close enough just to see Raven be sucked into a book. ]

[fourtuity]

What the hell! How the—you have gotta be shitting me!

[ Time for her to abandon the glass for now, because it's panic time, featuring a loud teenage girl who might've startled a monkey into screaming as well. ]

Spit her out, you rotten book, or I'll rip your pages out!

[ RIP the eardrums of anyone around. She'll be like this for a while. ]

[wringmaster]

[ ... so as much as it looked like Raven was gone, when Clover gets closer she'll actually see that:

Raven is still there. It might have been a trick of the light or something, but she's kneeling down, completely zoned out staring at the book. Hurray! ]

[fourtuity]

Um...Raven?

[ What the deuce? Okay, that shocks her enough to shut up for a single moment. She'll go closer, looking back and forth between Raven and the book before crouching. ]

Err...okay, Sir Bookingham, I won't rip you to itty-bitty pieces? So, can you....not do whatever you're doing?

[wringmaster]

[ Raven doesn't respond but she does seem to twitch slightly. Sir Bookingham does not respond. ]
