SECOND INVESTIGATION.

[legionofmods]

[The first motive was ignored by the perpetrator - but this motive might be more applicable to the desires of some of you. A large sum of currency offered to you by a shady man who looks like the villain in Willy Wonka. Even with that theming, it’s something tangible. Something you might be interested in.

Something someone else might be interested in.

There’s a sense of dread as you awaken this morning. Investigate?]

[This is in fact the body of someone who is not a Muppeteer! Thank goodness Carol Spinney isn’t here.

She’s very much surrounded by things that would indicate foul play, but you should note that the body itself seems relatively clear of mutilation. Save for a very very prominent stab wound to the chest. The face is very much intact, though, so even with the very odd outfit she’s currently in...weeeelll, she’s plenty identifiable.

McKayla Hopper is dead.]

[Darn, darn, darn, darn. She was just a kid, wasn't she?

Bad Cop grits his teeth, then skitters over to the door to shout at the top of his lungs:]

HEEEEEEEEEEEY! SOMEBODY OPEN THIS DOOR!

[madmadam]

[The door just flies off the hinges as a giant purple bird kicks it in.]

You rang?

[clawhands]

[Bad Cop lets out a startled yelp, but then Good Cop shows up and promptly salutes Madam Mim.]

Yes, ma'am! There's a body here! Ms. McKayla Hopper died! Before you broke in, the door was locked up tight from the inside!

[madmadam]

[Poof! She turns back to normal.]

Oh! A corpse! What a lovely prize!
