*Turns off the microphone which was recording a baritone saxophone Red was playing, and turns over to the visitors*

Ah good day...I suspected as much that you would come to see me about the...unfortunate event that has occurred recently...very well then, ask whatever you wish.

What did you do the day before the robbery?

What happened the day of? Very well then...I spent much of the day editing the soundtracks...I confess to growing rather hungry and inquiring about dinner, I went to see that Someone70 would be ready for supper...I knocked and no response. Normally she would respond, and knocked again...then opened the door. It was rather... naive of me to neglect the simple fact that she was likely in the zone with her comic books much as I would be with my art...*chuckles* her reaction was priceless nonetheless. I insisted that a young lady such as herself should look her finest considering said occasion and the impression it should etch. She was slack i confess and I had to return again to remind her...twice. Both times knocking but she was still enraptured in plans that come to naught and half a page of scribbled lines. Her mother would have wished me to be this way so Someone70 would find a sense of maturity.... Perhaps if she wasn't guaranteed a massive present she would straighten up....but I digress.

The dinner itself was...explosive, at the very least. There was an immense argument about video game consoles, and I confess to raising my eyebrows at Someone70's explosive remark to a slightly pompous Zebra...and I confess to a slight chuckle and pride at her not taking that sitting down like a child. Nonetheless, the events of the were exceptionally immature and I think that Elara alone shared my disgust over the immaturity over what was supposed to be compadres, for she stormed out immediately afterwards. What she may or may not say is that I went to see her later to talk...but she was too busy in writing she probably ignored every word I said unless she wrote them into her story..regardless...

I spent the evening in my lounge with some Chet Baker and Miles Davis in the background while I read "The Count of Monte Cristo" , and went to be about an hour, hour and a half after Someone70 turned in. I never knew anything else until Davideo summoned me to the vault the following morning around 8:30 and told me to go let Someone70 know what has happened. She needed too get up anyways...

My apologies for rambling so long. Do you have to ask anything out my friends?

so elara stormed out?and die someone do the same?before or after elara?
did laian complain about your music before dinner?was this before or after you visited someone.
he reported he was kept awake by you yet by your claims the music was pretty mild.
how did you know when someone went to sleep?
strange that she managed to sleep yet lian did not.
did you arrive for dinner before or after someone?

thenumberone : You ask many valid questions...very well then. *Turns on some smooth detective jazz from an old school noir film*

Someone came after I did for, as I said, she was rather insistent on not coming. I remember that the pair stormed out much like a few vixens back when the busted screw was open...Elara was likely first, for the memories are distant despite the short time frame. 

We always have our claims about what we do and where we go. It is difficult to tell who is valid and even now you scrutinize every syllable I utter. Laian criticized the music I live all day, as I had it going for a portion of the day as a backing track. Laian was pulling your tail chief...he doesn't live here. Never did. Either he was trying to sleep on the job...or he is trying to point a loaded pistol at me.

*pours up a glass of something*

*song ends*

Do these answers prove sufficient means to base further rhetoric upon?

Arctic Wolf (SS82) :

*Sips from the glass* It is reassuring a critical...investigator is on the case. Before I mention Elara, perhaps I should clarify my remark about Laian. The music in the background perhaps made me a touch defensive...it reminds me a lot of the Busted Screw and some of the run down detectives I met in Chicago. Laian... to be perfectly honest, he twas never particularly fond of me in general but I shall hold no ill will against him: opinions belong to us all and one has to respect anothers. To my immediate knowledge I am the only one locally he would feel to scorn.

Elara...my comment there simply referred to the inexplicable fact that she was frustrated and I know she works inefficiently and scattered on her manga when such a condition is evident inside of her.

Interesting,because lain was pretty adiment that someone arrived first,and someone encountered him in the hall mutering,he states he only left the hall when you went into the dining room,what were you doing in that time gap?and how did you know when someone drifted off?and both he and someone state he lives in the mansion.if he didnt,would he really march to your door and demand you cease?
By your own admision you spent the evening in your lobby listening to music,yet i have a statement that says you were in a great hurry to leave the dining hall,what was so pressing?
I also hear you were the host,that would put you in control of the building that night, how very convenient

thenumberone : To be fair, by recollection of the order of arrival and leaving could be inaccurate as it was a chaotic meal and certain details may have become distorted. I said Someone70 went to be at said timeframe, not when she went to sleep...I know she turns out the lights at that time because asides from the fact her favorite shows are turned off, I keeps an eye on her and notices a few tendencies.

As far as hurry goes...hurry is purely perspective. I admit I did leave somewhat rapidly due to the chaotic nature of the meal being...wearisome, and I wanted to relax. Before the meal I was in my own quarters working on a few backing tracks, but to little commendable success.

As far as Laian goes...he is a guest, but got relations to Davideo, I believe, so he comes by occasionally, but he never lived here.

She says shes on the oposite side of the mansion,how could you notice her tendencys

thenumberone : That does not exclude me from that end of the mansion, especially as there is an excellent balcony for watching what is going on outside.

Redrunelord : I had no idea that you'd even come to see me after the party, my apologies. However, I do wonder why you mention my name instead of Someone's when you revisit your statement about her manga... as we both know I don't draw.

I pose a question to Elara if I may do so, I am rather curious about you.

Did you stay in the Library on the night in question, reading books? Did you also hear the noise in the night that Someone70 also heard? If you did happen to hear it, what did you see upon arriving to the scene.

I also have a question for Redrunelord, concerning the tuning fork. Is it yours?

Greymantle : I did fall asleep in the library, if you come visit me there I will be happy to relate the events of that day for you and anyone else who is curious." ((It's in the Story Forum, Leggy hasn't had a chance to put up the link yet))

My dear sir,i can only make the assumption that tuning fork is yours,both lain and elara enjoy silence and someone is not liable to own it,what purpose would it serve her?now if it was an external culprit,would they bring such a pitifull tool?admit it sir,it is yours,how did it get down to the vault!

A tuning fork...peculiar...I was looking for it the day before in all actuality. Sometime between 6:30 and 7:00 I was looking for it when one of my vinyls, rigged to start apparently, started playing and the music turned my attention to other things...and of course it ended with me reading that book.

As far as the balcony goes...there are two, one at each wing. Both of these balconies shows all the various yards and the land beyond the mansion. There is no internal garden.

I visited someone first around 4:30, and twice more over the next half hour or so. I turned off the music around 9:00 unless I'm mistaken.

Arctic Wolf (SS82) : Davideo7, to my immediate knowledge, has no intentions to enter the affairs or talk to the vast majority of the detectives, as he is far too busy.

Arctic Wolf (SS82) : As far as I'm aware, he discovered them missing, but I could very well be mistaken.

*Knocks and enters, provided entry is allowed*

If I may pose a question, Mr. Red I would ask this. What would have said Someone70 cooked for the party. I heard she made appetizers but not what they were and when I had heard she complained about not eating enough why didn't she at least eat the food she made herself.

One would think when someone brings food to a party, its at least something they like to eat is it not?
