WWGV: Victorian Whitechapel - Night 1 Seko Dead

[mortaine]

Miss Mortaine, of the Mortaine and Sons Press, walks by with her nose in a book (Dr. Gregor's Herbal Compendium, if you really must know), stepping delicately over a rivulet of blood that crosses the sidewalk. Only as she gets to the other side does she catch a glimpse of the crowd of her fellows, and looks up, her hand immediately checking the little purse hanging from her wrist to be sure it hasn't gone missing.

"Er, whot?" Her eyes take in the whole scene, darting over the other residents of the district, almost absentmindedly glancing over the body, the blood plashes, the rivulets of blood-mingled wine.

"Oh, dear.... Now, *this* is very distressing.... Is it a play? Have I walked into a play rehearsal?" Her voice sounds hopeful, but at the expression of her neighbors, she realizes that this is not, unfortunately, some bloody play.

"Oh, dear."

[AoM]

Glances over to Nixit.

"Well my shoppe's not going to get much business either until this is solved, so I guess I'm here too."

He leans down to take another look at the body.

"You know, Mr. Slayer wasn't kidding when he said this looked to be the work of two killers... Look at the size of these palm shaped indents on his face... I don't know anyone with hands that big."

[Surly]

A door to an elaborate but run-down house bangs open, and a slightly dishevelled but well-dressed man stumbles out. He is holding a tight grip on a small leather bound book, and a small wad of papers. He blinks in the light, then stumbles over towards the wine merchants. After a few moments, he re-emerges, a strange look on his face.

Good god, what happened? Gruesome… I expect the watch to be dealing with this in short order? I need my peace and quiet. Where am I supposed to find wine now?

Continues to mutter as he heads back to his house, still clutching the book tightly. Suddenly he stops and checks his purse. He winces.

Not that I could afford it anyway.

His eyes scan the crowd, settling on Slayer. His eyes take on a speculative look, and he steps over whisper in his ear. Then he sacns the rest of the crowd.

What are you people standing around staring at? Get back to work!

Shakes his head, and wanders over to his house. He disappears inside.

[Sparkle]

she hears the pounding of a hammer and glances outside her window noticing the guards walking away from the inn. She pays it no attention at first then thinks

Maybe there's a note on my door.

She opens her door looking to see if anything was on the other side of it, she sees nothing. Yarn in hand she decides to sit out front and do a little crocheting. She notices alot of people crowding around in one spot. Not liking to get into others affairs she continues what she's doing...

Better not be any of my girls over there starting trouble...

She sighs and begans to walk over to the crowd. She looks around for her girls then looks down to notice the body of YoYo... Oh my God...

She barely gets the words out before her hand goes to her heart. She runs back to her inn to check on her girls.

[Dragonslayer4ever]

*looking aghast* I am not burying that body. I am a gentleman. ANd in this outfit I shall go no where near any filth. *he then looks his outfit over* This is my casual wear. *he then turns a sharp look at Seko* You broke my favortie tea pitcher! That thing is wroth 5 thousand pounds. *stepping up to her* Seko you clusmy fool. Now I'm going to have to punish you. You will be banished from my room tonight.

[Sparkle]

She gives a sigh of relief as she spots all of her girls unharmed. She puts her hands together and raises her eyes to the sky praying for what she has seen

My God why has this happned! Please find who did this and give them their rightful punishment. Bring them to justice and keep us all safe.

She runs back out looking for Sheriff Spider. She hears Sir Dragon and stops in her tracks. She gazes upon the man's wardrobe wanting to feel his fine clothes...she gets her mind back to the situation at hand

Where is Sheriff Spider!! What does he plan on doing about this. How can I insure my girls safety when there is a murderer running loose around here!

[SekoETC]

*Her face crumples and she breaks into wailing, forgetting it's never wise to argue against one's superior.* Please sir, no, no, I'm scared!! Not that, don't leave me out, they might come after me, this was a lonely man now they gonna take a lonely girl next, please, please, I'll take ten, I'll take twenty, just please don't leave me alone!!

[Dragonslayer4ever]

I'm not locking you out of the house you dim wit. I am locking you out of my room for the night. There will be no sexing you tonight do you understand me. That is your punishment.

[SekoETC]

*Blushes and looks down.*

[wichita]

<i>Stepping from the bank for his morning break he eyes Mr. Dragonslayer yelling at his servant.</i>

Mr. Dragonslayer, do you not think it unwise to treat your servants so? I would hope that you could show at least a modichim of kindness to the poor girl. <i>nods and tips his hat to Seko and kisses her hand</i> Please miss, I do hope you will begin to feel better. The death of Mr. Yo-Yo is indeed tragic, and I assure you the authorities will be doing their utmost to capture the beast responsible for such a ghastly attack.

<i>He smiles kindly, then looks around for signs of the Sheriff</i>

It is unfortunate the constable has not made his appearance yet this morning. I wonder where he could be.

[Dragonslayer4ever]

Now now Seko. Chin up. The day is still young. You have plenty of time to right your wrong. I have plenty more tea pitchers anyhow. Now can you be a good girl and take these to my study and put them on my desk. *he hands her some old documents and papers* I will have to look those over later. Also has the letter from Mr Anyonomous gotten here yet.

[SekoETC]

*Fumbles with the papers but manages not to drop any of them.* No sir, no letter yet, thankyousir. *She curtsies quickly and hurries off, hugging the papers to her chest.*

[Dragonslayer4ever]

*turns to Wichita* I do treat her well. Just all this going on has gotten me oh how you say..disturbed. But what more could she ask for. She gets nice food, clothes, a roof over her head, and she isn't living on the streets like where I found her.

[Nixit]

She definitely lives better than the most of us... *rolls his eyes at Dragonslayer's atire* Casual wear, eh? *Dismissing the thought, he claps his hands for attention, looking a little irritated* Well, the Sherrif is not present at the moment, yet the time still ticks, I do suggest that we do not wait for the Sherrif to show up, even if this is his duty.

[Dragonslayer4ever]

I say we lynch Rainking. You saw his hands didn't you. They are big. And its apparent Yo_Yo's head was crushed by someone's hands.
