Murder Mysterium - Night 4, Billiards Room

[idolpro]

[ WILD CITY and 10IV enter.

Lingering smoke hangs heavy in the air of the billiards room. The eponymous table stands square in the center of the room, making the place’s purpose clear. The forest green walls on either side are lined with racks, holding pool cues set horizontal like rifles ready to be taken on the hunt. A fire crackles in the hearth, the grate that sections it from the room patterned with organically erratic bronze branches, badly in need of polish on account of soot. On the mantle a leather cigar case sits closed, a box of matches waiting to be lit ablaze perches expectantly atop of it.

It's just the two of you here. ]

[Well....no threat yet.]

[He'll wander over to the game table.]

[protectshisown]

[Huh. Time to check out this game.]

[childeishly]

[ childe looks some sort of deLIGHTED... ish. ]

So who wants to celebrate not blowing up with a round of pool?

[nothingtomourn]

[Still just... quiet and shellshocked. He'll find a nice bit of wall to hang around.]

[K is not about to claim that something feels wrong, because it doesn't. The whole setup feels exactly as it did before, just with Wild City instead of sensitIV.

[He's still on edge, though. Because, considering what they just did, maybe no problem is a problem in itself.

[What a nasty suspicious mind he has, huh.]

JUST BEFORE DAWN

[ The mansion shakes—completely creaks—and then.

The door unlocks. You're free to go.

. . . But you should go quickly. Something's happening. ]
