(KITCHEN) The Moth pooka looks at the Lion pooka "Are homicidal tendencies a sign of fever? I May have it. Wadworth is a deer, and I'm tempted to moount him on the wall"

(BALL ROOM) As Scarlett checks on Peacock, striding up, she finds out the problem, as the floor is slippery as hell.. (Dex plus atheltics roll)

(BILLARDS) Professor Plum thinks she's found all she can in here.

/roll 6

(Study) AUGUST/REV Green has the revolver put away, but if there's more to the study he doesn't see it

"Oh! What in the...." Scarlet startles at the slipperiness.

(KITCHEN) Mustard takes the Maid's hand, if she doesn't pull away, and checks her pulse, and another hand lightly on her forehead. "Certainly, you are feeling most under the weather..."

Dubious about his own investigative skills, Rev Green makes his way out and on to.....?

(Ball room) Peacock grins a bit "Like that all over. Interesting no? "

(KITCHEN) Mrs. White blinks, then grins "Why how generous, Col. To share your clue"

Plum is back to the {HALLWAY]

"Ah, Reverend?" She tries again.

Now THAT one he knows he heard. "Yes, ah, Professor?"

A smile. "Didst thou find aught in the Study? I fear there was no crime in the Billiards room."

(BALLROOM) "Very odd. What is the point of a ballroom where one cannot dance?" She casts a glance around. "Found anything of interest here?"

(Ballroom) "I'll share one of my clues with you if you share one of yours with mine? " Clem smiles

(KITCHEN), Vince, it seems, was genuinely concerned... but he straightens back up, and strokes his mustache, resuming the guise of Mustard. His hand on hers slides to her side, and taps the small bag he notices there, that wasn't there before! "Ah, but I merely was wondering, when you had time to go a-market?"

(BALLROOM) Scarlet gives a thoughtful look. "Is your clue one that you found in this room?"

(Ballroom) "Got more than one" Clem says "Both involve rooms. ALways had a headache narrowing the rooms down in this game so that's what I focused on"

(KITCHEN) "Oh, bits and pieces"

(BALLROOM) "Well, then...mine is written. I'll let you see it briefly." She pulls a paper out of her cleavage. "How will you share yours with me?"

(KITCHEN) To Mrs White, "Share, and share alike, my dear."

(Ballroom) "I gotta note too" She trades

(Kitchen) Vince may have betrayed more than he meant to, but SHE doens't have to know he didn't mean to. SO his big Mustard eyes and wheedling works, and she sighs and shows him what's in the bag

(BALLROOM) Notes are exchanged, read, and returned. "Curiouser and curiouser." She looks about again. "So you have found no clue here, yet?"

(KITCHEN) "Ah, indeed. " He looks into the bag, then gives her a rakish grin. "Shall we tarry, here? The butler need not know..."

(Ballroom) "I arrived about when you did, but besides the sliperiness itself? Not yet" SHe looks about "Flowers in vase, nice chandelier, but that's a chain, not the tradional rope" \

"Yes." he answers, and shows the two weapons he found as he describe where they were. "So we know it wasn't with the pipe or the revolver, and I don't think it was done with the rope."

(Ballroom) Clem and Coradel slip and side their way to the vase, as they both see a note

(BALLROOM) The note being IN the vase. It's a race.

Zara nods. "We should check the ballroom."

"Which way?"

(KITCHEN) "Scoundrel thou art, Mustard, to seek to sandwich me so. " She does look about for a bit, then grins "Aha.." The secret door found and ...she steps through it

Zara leads!

(BALLROOM) Scarlet attempt to skate rather than step over to the vase!

And the Revere
nd follows.

(Ballroom) SCARLET skates past peacock to get the note first. PEacock huffs "Am I allowed to elder form you into a rock in clue? Just asking for a friend."

(BALLROOM) and GREEN and PLUM arrive to see Scarlet getting a note out of a vase while Peacock fusses

(Dex plus athletics rrequired for Zara and August if they enter into the ballroom proper)

(BALLROOM) "I hardly think so!" she says with a laugh. She spots the others. "Watch your steps!" she says as she quickly reads the note.

(Ballroom) Clem tries to read over her shoulder only to realize she kind of shrunk herself for this digusise

No, Scarlets being greedy about this one. Clem doesn't get to peek.

(Zara's in the lead so August will enter if she does. He won't push past her.)

/roll 7

She swiftly tucks the note in with the others, then regards the vase. "Could this be considered a weapon, do you think?"

"Not a traditional clue weapon" Clem shakes her head

(Ballroom) Zara enters the slippery floor, and is glad to be so light

"Well, we mustn't argue with tradition, I suppose."
