Murder Mysterium - Night 2, Conservatory
[ ALCHEME! and SEA.DI enter.
Outside the domed glass of the conservatory, night has fallen. The sky here is dark, clouded over with clouds so low as to feel claustrophobic-- the sort of weather and sort of place where a conservatory to retreat to would be welcome, to feel some sort of warmth that the sky stubbornly refuses to provide. Efforts have been made to make the place seem as bright and airy as possible, despite this: the sunburst pattern in the metal framework, the greening copper giving the place some brightness where wrought iron would make the place feel like a cage. Green and gold tiles circle an artificial pond, encircled themselves by shelves, lined with pots, overflowing with devil's ivy. Citrus perfumes the air. A small tea-table has been set up, with chairs for two or three to retreat to.
There isn't anything different beyond the usual decor of the room. However, the longer AlcheME! stays, the more keenly aware they become of the quiet but steady tick-tick-tick in the background. There isn't a clock that makes that noise in sight . . . what could it be?
Perhaps sea.Di knows. Regardless, everyone in the room knows this: before the dawn comes, AlcheME! will die. Even if it is not directly by sea.Di's hand, AlcheME! lost the moment they entered. ]

[ He pauses to look up at the ceiling, like he's trying to figure out how he should word this. ]
I don't blame you if you don't believe me, since I know how this sounds like, but --
I lied about our alibi. On the first night, I went into the Cloak Room and there was no one else there. Honest. Then, uh, next day future is now is found dead in the Cloak Room and ... you know, if I told anyone that, I may as well just walk myself off the pier already. I asked YOU-kai for their alibi and offered to vouch for them so I had an answer to give to people.

I've been here for a really long time. Not since the 'first day', so to speak, but it's been a little over 12 months, and you can't go that long without caring for at least a few people on other units. It always sucks.

... But that aside, you seem likeable enough, but some people would probably say my taste is questionable.
