[For Steerpike] Till the least of the last is dust...

[77th_emo_earl]

It's been some days since the poster went up in the main room, asking for any information on the whereabouts of Titus Groan, and some might think the trail is going cold. But the only thing going cold is the weather.

At some distance from the house, well into the woods, well past the Stone Table, Steerpike might find something disturbing: a lump with longish brown hair, protruding from the deep snow. There might be a foot sticking from the drift several feet away.

It's as disturbing as it sounds, and it's likely going to take a while to find the rest...

Title taken from the Schoolmasters' verse, aka the lyrics for the main title theme for the BBC miniseries. Primarily for Steerpike, but given the condition that the body is going to be in, it's likely to turn into a limited mingler...

Hisoka first completes his thoughts regarding Aramat's slayer. "Gunji respected Feanor, who gave him a new set of rules to play by." Literally. A new game. "But he forgot them, or forgot to remember them, since the elf king wasn't around. It's a problem." Hisoka sips his own coffee.

Then he holds his coffee in both hands (as Neville is doing), suddenly feeling his fingers to be chillier than they were a moment ago. "When we were interviewing people who knew Titus, a young woman named Misa Amane told me that she was sure that a man named Rudy Cooper murdered Titus. The reason she was sure was because he murdered her, fourteen months ago. He dumped her in the woods, and about four months later she was resurrected. She tried to warn people, but I don't think anybody believed her story."

"No one believed her?!" Neville is shocked, incredulous. "This agency couldn't have formed fast enough," he sighs. "I knew self-policing was too idealistic. Too good to be true, rather." He drinks from his coffee. "It's a wonder more crimes aren't commited and going unpunished, unsolved."
