[3/14/2013 10:15:29 PM] Josie: You follow the string into the West Wing! [3/14/2013 10:16:27 PM] Josie: You pad down the hallway. Roll Notice! [3/14/2013 10:17:10 PM] Josie: There's a little spatter of blood on the carpet; it's fresh. [3/14/2013 10:17:35 PM] Marilla: Marilla looks up. [3/14/2013 10:17:53 PM] Josie: There's another little spatter on the ceiling, which doesn't appear to be mirrored at all. [3/14/2013 10:18:34 PM] Marilla: Marilla cautiously attempts to pass a hand between the spots of blood. [3/14/2013 10:19:41 PM] Josie: Nothing between them. [3/14/2013 10:20:01 PM] Josie: Up ahead, though, you notice there's a little trail, leading to some object on the side of the hallway. [3/14/2013 10:21:29 PM] Marilla: Marilla approaches the trail and follows it to its end. [3/14/2013 10:21:56 PM] Josie: Well. The trail leads onward, but when you get to the object on the ground, it's... a leg. [3/14/2013 10:22:27 PM] Josie: Or most of one, anyway. It's got half a pair of trousers covering it and a bootlike thing on the end. [3/14/2013 10:22:59 PM] Marilla: Marilla checks the legs state of decomposition. ((Survival or Heal?)) [3/14/2013 10:23:10 PM] Marilla: Marilla also checks to see if the string comes this way. [3/14/2013 10:23:36 PM] Josie: Heal. [3/14/2013 10:23:54 PM] Josie: The string does come this way; however, it goes on, too, up ahead into the hallway. [3/14/2013 10:24:31 PM] Josie: It's not organic. It's made of metal and wood, a bit like a warforged limb would be. However, it was obviously attached to something organic at one time, given the blood on the other end of it. [3/14/2013 10:24:52 PM] Marilla: Marilla is horrified. Absolutely horrified. [3/14/2013 10:26:33 PM] Marilla: Marilla turns around 180 degrees and opens her mouth, calling upon all her natural vocal powers to scream at the end of her lungs possible capacity for bloodcurding screaming. [3/14/2013 10:28:42 PM] Marilla: Marilla falls to her knees in the process, and crawls on her hands and knees to the leg, to check for compartments in the trousers, metal, wood, or something in the boot, hands shaking the whole time.
