[forward-date to around 3 or 4am 6/13. poster ID for this tablet is MARTIN DARKOV, but this is not the Martin you are looking for. here is a pretty face for you.

actually, no. this was a pretty face, but there is a lot of ugly going on here. scabs and grooved flesh all along the right side...eye nearly swollen shut.

this gal's brow is furrowed, straining, contradicting the lazy smile it wears.

slow, methodical, yet wavering after each letter:]

D. A. R. [swallow. a wider smile and a shakier voice.] K. O. V.

[it blinks a few times; there's a couple tears trailing from behind the monocle.]

Oh. Sh. Shh.

We solved a mystery.

Meat. [a snorting sound.] They're all meat, yes? Walking and talking and breathing...

[a flash of a grimace before a lazy smile paves it over. sigh.]

Ah, no. No. That's unfair. I will give him the honor he so craved: He would be my murderer, had he the skill or heart for it.

"Would be." That's future tense. I take it he's not really dead, then?

[shushing over some of her words:] Sh! Sh, no! No, no. No...No, would be.

If he weren't rotting dead.

Somebody seems to have murdered him here, you see?

Sure, yeah, I see. Not you, though?

Oh, no. Not me. Beaten to the honor! [giggle. sniff. it scrapes at the corner of its hidden eye.]

Okay. By whom?

[leaning in close, very conspiratorial:] That is the new mystery.

Neat. Do you have suspects?

Oh, yes! Yes, I do! [beaming, sitting up straight again.]

Who?

Every rotten, foul beast in this city.

That's a long list, there, friend.

[delighted:] Oh, it is! It certainly is! There's so many!

So how are you going to be investigating?

Hmh-hmh...Oh, no...No, it doesn't matter that much. [sniff.] You have to learn to move on, you know? Forward, not backward.

There's just so many possibilities.
