[

a beat.]

Yeah!

[

stares at her. ]

[SMILES... INNOCENTLY...

also, she is wearing this for the record.]

Now I'm even more suspicious. [ as the horse tells him that its friends are DEAD now.

shu is dressed like a hunter. all i have are pixel images. he has a cosy looking coat on as well though because it was freakin' cold out there in what's basically sandals and cloth and a dream. ]

Hey, I'm not the one who was starin' at a corpse when we showed up.

I think we were all staring at a corpse.

[ i have a Feeling. ]

You really only just got here?

Did ya miss the part where we just rode in on a horse?

And you just saw us walk in, and yet-- [ the implications flew. ]

... You didn't happen to be looking for someone, did you?

Yeah, well, your group ain't half dead. More hands for stabbing.

[she glances at the corpse, frowning.]

Not someone.

[ he looks at the bow he has and nothing else and looks at her. his bow has heart arrows. eunhyuk is waving a giant soup ladle.

we don't talk about lucien. ]

Something?

[she

glances at the corpse after eunhyuk says that might be alpates.]

Yeah. Something. [...] What did she steal?

[ also just looking at this corpse that might be alpates ]

"Something very precious". That's all we were told.

Bunch of people in town seemed to know her though -- a lot of what we were told about her from them didn't match the description we got.

Yeah...? And what was that description?

Your turn. What was the thing you were looking for?

[ before your gods horpsed and horses. ]

Not a dead woman, that's for sure.

We were told there might be somethin' valuable in the ruins. Don't know what it is, exactly. But everyone likes a good treasure, y'know?

[ hmmmmmmmmmmmm. ]

The name seemed to ring a bell with you though. Alpates. [ me thinking it was in this thread but it was elsewhere but they're all just staring a this corpse so assigns him overhearing. ]

It's a real ugly name for a baby girl. Like, I mean, did her parents hate her?

[ don't fuckin' laugh shu there's a corpse there. it's fine, the crow caws enough for the both of them. you have a fan, harley. ]

Might've meant something to them. [ he's called shu he can't talk. ]

Still. Doesn't look like there's any mystical treasure here. Just a body.

Yeah, well, all names mean something. Could've picked another one that wouldn't get her bullied out of the church choir.

[she frowns, watching eunhyuk examine the corpse.]

Hm... I wonder...

[ maybe she liked that name, harley. maybe the choir loved her. we can never know her life because she's (makes yaywon making monster scooping motions except it's a big sword stabbing motions) ]

...?

What d'you think killed her?

[ looking at eunhyuk poking around at this corpse while everyone else bickers. ]

Well, whatever it is. It looks like it was probably pointy.

[ amazing work team. ]

[speaks up from where he's kneeling though he doesn't get up to join them,]

A sword. It went straight through her. And she has smaller stab wounds too, like from a dagger.

Well, shit. How long has she been dead? Can you tell?

[ ... ]

So, probably the bigger wound that killed her. But the smaller ones... was she tortured?

[ we are investigating on our off days too, diligently. ]
