Sigil: The City of Doors

"Without knowin'is name... not sure what 'e'd tell us that th'jabber from the Perv wouldn't."

"I could. We would get only 3 questions, and they could be yes or no only. Do we think that that may help?"

"Hm. It would, if we knew the right questions to ask." And that's the rub of it.

"Creepy," Illi offers... helpfully. "Do you think you can ask Amaunator about the victim?"

"I could. We would get only 3 questions, and they could be yes or no only. Do we think that that may help?"

Amelie once more looks over the note, flipping it to look at the back. Pursing her lips, she tucks it away, dissatisfied with a lack of discovery.

"Hmm. It reads [i]"As promised, the body. Enjoy the present, you bastard." --Pervert.[/i] Might the title of pervert mean anything to either of you?"

"Creepy," Illi offers... helpfully. "Do you think you can ask Amaunator about the victim?"

"S'what some berk of an elf took t'callin' him when he stopped t'gloat between fightin'. Looks like took it personal."

Ikkit grinned.

"Good."

Illi holds her hands behind her back, flushed from her cheeks to the tips of her ears. Hasn't been beaten out of her yet. She hopes it never is.

"It's, uhm, the same M.O. as your previous case, right?"

The woman furrows her brow as she reads the note.
"Hmm. It reads [i]"As promised, the body. Enjoy the present, you bastard." --Pervert.[/i] Might the title of pervert mean anything to either of you?"

Illi holds her hands behind her back, flushed from her cheeks to the tips of her ears. Hasn't been beaten out of her yet. She hopes it never is.

"It's, uhm, the same M.O. as your previous case, right?"

[quote="Amelie Crane" post_id=4691 time=1691672970 user_id=84]"You knew the body was here, then?"[/quote]

"Nope. But I think th'berk who killed the poor sod knew I work hereabouts. It was Illi'amiira who actually committed to digging it up."

He cocked his head at the drow.

"Hasn't had her curiosity punished like a Cager's. Worked out in this case. Far as details, not really. Poor berk got shot down in Suicide Alley, killer got away with his body, an' now it's turned up here."

Illi leans over to peek at the note as well, curious.

"Meetcha."

Amelie nods to her friend, appreciating the illumination of the dancing lights, making her hooded lantern less necessary. Still, she shines the metal object up so that she can see the situation better. Despite her darkvision, she finds that real light makes for much better investigation.

At Ikkit’s remark, and purses her lips and gives a quick nod.
“The same to you. Red Death, but an investigator. I have also alerted the Harmonium, and with luck they will be sending someone as well to look into this.”

He takes the note, looking it over.
“Interesting recounting. You knew the body was here, then? Are there any other details you may be able to offer? I have got a few spells I may be able to cast to get some answers, but we will need as much information as possible first. I do better with, mm, [i]living[/i] quarry.”
She says with almost an air of disappointment in her voice.
