[If your name starts with Daryan, you're going to have one hot-headed lawyer coming your way. If not, well Apollo's in a mood and wandering down the hallways, possibly back in the kitchen at some point to discover the body had been taken away as well.]

Just what are you playing at? [If there is a mirror, he's looking at it in hopes to see a certain badger]

[protoshepherd]

[ hello hello the badger is here ]

What you mean?

[thedivineroar]

AAAGH! [holy shit, he was just thinking about it. He wasn't expecting anything to actually happen!]

Wha--uh...the body, what happened to it? [Literally, cannot process thoughts properly right now. So that was the first thing he could think of.]

[protoshepherd]

Gone for now.

Why?

[thedivineroar]

[For now?]

...The same way Dr. Black's body disappeared, when we haven't discovered the culprit for either one?

[protoshepherd]

Yes.

It will be smelly.

[decrescendos]

[Even if he sees Apollo coming at him in the hallway near his room, he's gonna play the fool. The little punk can do what what he likes- he's not backing down. He knows he's done a stupid thing by accusing him, only making himself appear that much more suspicious but too late now.

Just gotta roll with the punches.]

[thedivineroar]

[Well he's standing in front of Daryan now, with the most serious look on his face and arms crossed]

I hope you have evidence to back up your reasoning for accusing me today. [He's taking the civil route for now.]

[decrescendos]

[There is a very distinct pause, as he slowly crosses his arms defensively against his chest.]

Too bad. I ain't gone one.

[His attitude is just. Not helping him any.]

[thedivineroar]

[If Daryan had the impression he was still a wimpy attorney back then, he's about to be sorely mistaken.]

This isn't a joke, you know. Murder is not something to be taken lightly, detective.

[decrescendos]

[Well well, spikes suddenly grew some horns. He does notice something different about Apollo.]

I don't give a damn. This entire investigation's a farce, man, and ya know it.

[thedivineroar]

Even if that's the case, it's no excuse for falsely accusing others. Someone murdered those people, those lives will never come back and the last thing we want to do is to send the innocent with them and move further away from the truth.

Don't you want to know what's going on? Beneath this investigation and those "trials"? Why don't you focus on unraveling that truth, instead of satisfying your little grudge? [...] Maybe there's something only a detective can find that I can't see.

[Ema's mostly staying in her room tonight, but ten-ish or so she wanders into the kitchen herself to check on the body that's now...gone...and to get a glass of water.

She debates going to see Phoenix and ask a couple of questions...but holds off in favor of getting back to her room and locking the door. Two dead? And those freaky badgers roaming around? Let's not, and say we did.

If you need her feel free to catch her in the hall or the kitchen.]
