What the fuck was that.

[ That's all she's saying right now. Seriously. She's done. Why this. Can't even be bothered to be lowkey angry because she is outright furious. Even more so than she usually is for a very, very good reason. ]

[Lithuania sits heavily in her usual spot, as if she's feeling the shock of Alisha's absence for the first time. In a way, she is--she couldn't very well allow herself a reaction in front of everyone who had no idea what was going on (and worse, in front of Astrid, who would get suspicious of who knows what all over again).]

We knew it might happen, and yet-- [Lithuania hadn't thought Alisha would be the first of them to die.]

I'm going to fucking kill them. I'm going to find out who killed Alisha and --

[ Her hand clenches into a tight balled fist, completely and utterly furious. But it's only there for a moment before it's gone. ]

You should have seen Faize. I'm worried that he's going to absolutely lose it at the trial tomorrow if Hinata doesn't manage to calm his shit.

[Hopefully no one really does kill them--who would they vote for then? Still, Lithuania can understand the sentiment.] We'll figure it out. We haven't done too badly on that front so far.

[ The person who killed the killer, clearly. ]

Yeah, I know, I'm just... I'm always worried. [ She straightens herself out, sighing. ] I just had to be the one to find the goddamn bodies...

[Maybe her bad luck is spreading to the moles. She hopes not.] I know how you feel, when it comes to being worried. But we'll find out who did this. [Lithuania won't ever forgive herself if they don't.] Are you alright--all things considered? [So, probably not actually alright, but is there anything she can do to help?]

[ This is why you were Wrath, Inaban.

That said, Miata is, surprisingly, down here, too. She's skulking in the corner looking absolutely livid. ]

...bullshit.

I don't suppose you can just tell us who it was. [Lithuania is sure the answer is no, but she might as well ask it.]

I don't get told until the trial. Right now my guess is as good as yours.

I see. We'll just have to solve it on our own and rescue Alisha with the rest, then. [This room could use some confidence and optimism, and Lithuania is only good at that when things are a mess, so here you go, have some.] What kind of food would you like me to bring next time we meet?

[ he's going to be here and hugging himself as he stares blankly at the chalkboard. this was... not a fun day for him, nope. he doesn't even have it in him to say anything. he's just...

he's just processing, yeah. ]

...What's your favorite food that can be made here, Rhys? I can bring it next time. [She can't offer anything except that. They're working on bringing back the dead already.]

[ Roxy is just. Silent.

She was in the same room as Alisha and hadn't even noticed she'd left. She doesn't feel as responsible as poor Faize probably does but god damn it. Of all the people, who'd murder Alisha?? Who would think, gee, let's murder the nice princess???? U g h.

And honestly, Roxy was hoping that no one in the mole family would bite it. That somehow at least they'd make it through safely. What a dumb thought. ]

Roxy, what's your favorite food that can be made here? [Things may be super sad but she can at least feed everyone really well next time.]

[ ~~screams I don't even know what food roxy ate at home At All #homestuck~~

Lithuania is such a good mom to them, they don't deserve her. ]

I... don't know. ... Cake? [ ALWAYS BACK TO THE CAKE ] I mean, it's not my favorite food. I-- [ SIGHS ] Could you teach me how to make a cake?

[ said quietly. ~~since she was too busy crying over a spoon back that time lithuania offered~~ ]

Maybe we could make one in Alisha's h-- [ hrk. honor, she meant to say honor. ]

[Wow, everyone is super depressed. Not that she blames them, and she's upset herself, but she usually opts for working to distract herself, and sitting here looking at how upset everyone is isn't helping at all. So!]

...Do we have ideas as to who the motive might point to? The idea of killing to protect embarrassing memories may point to pride, but it's not the only option.

The motive itself definitely does point to pride, but if we're talking about the death, it looked a lot more like. . . wrath, to be honest. Although I definitely didn't do it, and I can't honestly believe that Dhaos did it, either.

[ ... ]

I'll probably bring this up if nobody else does, but I feel like there's something strange about this death. Primarily concerning Gilbert's death.

[Lithuania nods, but looks with interest at Himeko's statement about Gilbert.] What about it, specifically? [Since there are a few things that could qualify here.]

The two bodies were chained together in the pool, but Gilbert looked like he took the worst of his. Since he was both beheaded and his hand was cut off.

I didn't inspect her body, but Alisha seemed to be better off. . . but I'm wondering if there was a significance to both the beheading and the hand being chopped off.

Do you think they tied Alisha to a-- [A corpse. A beheaded corpse. Lithuania only barely manages to close her mouth on the end of that thought.] I think it depends on if that was something that was necessary in the murder or something done for some other reason.

[Amusement? That would be awful.]

The autopsy should clear up the exact causes of death, and if not I can check myself.

I don't think that they did. They definitely did. I saw it with my own two eyes. It was gross and disgusting.

[ Why did she have to run into the body. Why this. Why her. ]

I mean, I want to say that it was a necessity, but if it was... then why? [ Let her just take out her list of profiles first. ] I mean, it says that he has "increased durability", so that might be the reason...

Wasn't his head on a record player? [That doesn't seem to have much to do with increased durability or necessity.]

They could have placed the head there to throw people off.

[ From the more important things. ]

True. It would certainly make an impression. [A gross impression.]

I dunno. Who seemed most upset by it on Monday?

Hinata seemed to react very oddly, but--I can't believe this would be his work at all. [He seems so serious about not murdering, and the way the bodies are set up it seems far too awful for him.]

Yeah, he tried to convince me it was fake and not to worry.

[ what bs ]

But I know it wasn't him, I'd have noticed if he got up.

[But--wait.] Oh, so you and he were in the same bed?

Yep. Faize and Alisha were in the other bed, being dorks. Which... Probs doesn't make Faize feel any better.

I imagine not. He must have slept through Alisha leaving? [He wouldn't have let her go and not told anyone, right...]

But then that brings up the question of... why did she leave in the first place?

Maybe it had something to do with the power being out? But I don't know why she wouldn't have woken Roxy and the others.

That'd what I'd like to know!

The dumb roomfriend thing doesn't work if you leave the room without your friend, ugh.

I'm guessing so? Alisha must have been secretly a ninja, goddamn. No way would Faize have let her go out there alone.
