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.]

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

I'll...just a moment.

[There is a long period of time as Lemony forces himself to look at the corpse. Once he does he takes a few moments to examine it. Despite his terror, he's actually had to do this a lot.]

I can't tell. They appear to be wearing the standard clothing of the time period and there's nothing out of the way to assume they're not a drone.

...they appear to have been hit with a blunt object. Judging from the ...wound on the head, I mean...

I appreciate you taking the time to look, sir. Can I have your name?

Also, if you have any enemies to speak of.

Lemony Snicket

Enemies...Yes but I don't think they're in this town.

[...thanks you just made him even more paranoid]

Well, Mr. Snicket, I hope you're right about that. Take care of yourself just in case.

[If you DID have enemies, better to be cautious!]

Yes I certainly hope so. Though I'm fairly certain I would have noticed. Most of them aren't very subtle.

Thank you for your concern.

I see. If an unknown corpse hanging from your house is your idea of inconspicuous activity, Mr. Snicket, then I suppose we would all know if they were here.

If they were here they most likely to have attempted to kill me by now. ...or set something on fire.
