Post the Eighth: The Frightful Find

[mysilenceknot]

[Over the years Lemony has stayed mainly the same. He however is more open to friends and has gotten closer to the few he's made here. For the most part though, he's the same mournful and quiet man he always was. However today he sounds panicked as he grabs for the phone]


Hello...hello? There's....something....something terribly dreadful seems to have happend.

There's....a body..

[A gulp]

Oh dear lord, A body is hanging from my porch....light. A body...

[There's a pause as he draws a shaky breath]

I...I just thought I should  let people know...

[Yes he is emotionally rattled and yes he may be crying and yes he really hates this place]

[EDIT: The body in question belongs to Alphonse Elric. Lemony has never meet the young man so he has no idea if it's a drone or not...what with him being dead.]

[Daine has just picked up the phone- she has her own horror story- when she hears you.]

Mr. Snicket? What?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

...there. There is a body hanging from my porch...

..It just appeared there this morning...

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

...what? I'll be there soon.

[She hangs up the phone, and shortly you'll see her at your porch, examining the body.]

[brbpouncingyou.livejournal.com]

...I'm coming over there. Please, stay calm. I'll make us some tea and see if I can get the body down.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

...alright.

[He gulps, he should be used to this after being here for ten years and his years at home...but still]

Alright.

[[And Allan shows up on Lemony's doorstep minutes later, obviously having run the whole way. He looks a little disgusted.

HE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR THREE TIMES.]]

...A body?

Are you alright? Maybe I should come over?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

A..A..
[He takes a few deep breathes and manages to pull himself together.]

...A body is hanging in front of my house. It's dead.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I'll be over right away.

[B's been asked by a friend to gather information on anyone who's died lately, so here he is, on your phone line.]

Where are you, sir? Can you identify the victim?

[filtered]

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

I'm at my house...And no...no I...I have no idea who the person is.

[filtered]

[b-as-a-criminal.livejournal.com]

I see, thank you. If you don't mind - Does the victim seem like a real person? Or a drone?

[2xkonparo.livejournal.com]

[Well, this certainly caught her attention]

What did they die of? When'd this happen?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

I...I'm not sure. And I haven't examined the body yet...so I couldn't tell you.

[2xkonparo.livejournal.com]

...Why not?

[skokie-quartet.livejournal.com]

Wasn't me. Just so you know.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

...er. I suppose that's good to know. If you don't mind my asking, who are you and why would I assume that you might have done this?

[skokie-quartet.livejournal.com]

...

[He sounds more than a little sullen.]

'm Verbal. Now...if they were shot, that was probably me. Got Jones in the ear this year. Goddamn drone bastard.

[He also sounds more than a little drunk.]

Could goddamn' kill this whole fuckin' town and none o' these idiots'd fuckin' notice.

[moemoebomber.livejournal.com]

A body...?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Ye..yes. A body.

[moemoebomber.livejournal.com]

Are you able to identify it at all? Male, female... Even a drone or not...?

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

What?!

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

...there is a body hanging from my porch.

[nightlord-3045.livejournal.com]

Wasn't me, either.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Well...that's good to know.
