Season 2, Episode 15. Murder

[blue_shields]

I am writing this entry on behalf of Commander Stoneface.

Cloud, Ambassador, Night and Bellflower have all been murdered.

There is a suspect currently in custody and he will be given a fair trial as outlined in our law system.

I ask that everyone please remain vigilant in spite of this and allow the Watch to do their duty. There is no telling when the danger may have passed.

Do promise me you'll remember to take care of yourself.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

I will as soon as the people under my protection are safe.

So you guys caught him, huh. That's good to know.

But d-- four people... Just gotta hope they show up again at this point. Not much else we can do.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

We're doing what we can now.

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Him t

You guys be careful too.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

We always are.

[speeding]

What?

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Our suspect murdered several people, yes.

[lingeringlegacy]

[Resists the urge to write 'if the Watch is doing its job properly something of this scale would not have happened'. She has seen the crime scene at Ambassador's place.]

It is good that a suspect has been apprehended. But it would have been better if such a warning came quicker, while s/he was at large.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

If he knew we were onto him, he might have escaped or turned violent and killed more.

[longnosedliar.livejournal.com]

Wh--

That many? But how--

Who did it?

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

We have a suspect in custody.

Justice will be served, I can assure you.

[grinninggrifter.livejournal.com]

That many? What unfortunate news. Hopefully the man that you have caught is the right one.

[Grift is just being a suck-up, which is the reason for the icon--inwardly he's just going, "LOL AMBASSADOR, U DED."]

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

"Unfortunate" is definitely an understatement.



We have gathered some evidence from the crime scenes. Again, he will be tried, at least.

Who would do [Blacked out quite thoroughly almost instantly.]

Thank you for informing us.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

It's an unpleasant duty, but you're welcome.

...I'm gonna be taking on a few extra shifts in the Hall, if Bastet an' Bell'll allow it.

Let me know if you see Cloud back?

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Definitely. I was here when he was born, so... I want to keep an extra eye out for him.

I'm sure they'll appreciate the help.

[letmefollow.livejournal.com]

Please inform Commander Stoneface that the Adventurers are at his disposal should the need arise.

I hope that this business can reach a swift resolution.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

I knew we could count on you. Thank you, and I'll pass the word along.

I'm confident that it will.

Godda-[bubble smear]

[After a long moment where he fights the urge to just throw the journal down]

Thanks for the update. Can we expect more as things progress?

[He'll be keeping an eye on the journals for any info, regardless, but 'official' updates would be nice.]

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[paintitgray.livejournal.com]

Cloud? Is

[She stops herself, and scratches the words out. Yes, it must have been the Cloud she knows--and the Night who tried to dance with her at the picnic, and the Ambassador and Bellflower who've occasionally talked to her over the journals. There isn't any sense in asking, but...but.]

Thanks.

[Coming back, the way people do here, still feels deeply wrong...but so does being murdered in cold blood, and she can't help hoping.]

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[books-and-toads.livejournal.com]

It sounds pointless right now, but I am sorry to hear about that. At least you have a suspect, and are doing all you can.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

The words of support are still appreciated.

[snowburned.livejournal.com]

Thank you for keeping us informed.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Feels like the least I could do...
