Wammy House

[FoxTrott]

"You do that," Rhyme mumbled, rolling over. He laid there in Kat's bed for a while, and eventually drifted off to sleep. He woke up with a moan after he hit the floor. Rhyme took the fading sunlight as a sign he had slept too long, stood up, and set off to find Kat.

Maybe I should apologize, he thought, stopping by Blue's room, Don't want her to mope around all day and hold it against us... Rhyme knocked a few times on the door. When he received no answer, he opened the door, and peeked inside.

"Seven's not in his room?" he said in shock, "The last time I went on a computer was pretty much never, so..." Rhyme knelt down, turned on Seven's computer, and settled into his chair before surfing the internet.

[Raven]

Kat walked past Blue and Seven's room, noticing the open door, she poked her head in. "Oh! Rhyme, where are Blue and Seven?" she asked.

[FoxTrott]

Rhyme turned in the chair, and let the momentum revolve the spinning chair a few more times as he spoke to Kat.

"Do I look like I know?" he asked with a smirk, "Considering they're both gone, they must be doing something pretty important. Did you find anything important at the library?"

[Raven]

Kat shrugged. "Kind of... I found a possible suspect," she answered.

[FoxTrott]

Rhyme grabbed the computer desk to stop his rotating chair.

"You did?" he asked, "Who is it? Since you went to the library here, it must be a Wammy... Which can't be very good. Hm." Rhyme let go of the desk, and propelled the chair in circles again, chewing thoughtfully on his lip. "I'll have to ask Seven for the chair when he gets back."

[Rachel]

"Well... I've done virtually nothing all day," Velvet said slowly, looking up from her sketch pad and out the window. "I suppose I should do something tomorrow..."
She bit her lip and stood up, gently tucking the chair under the desk and turning towards the door. What did Blue say about the floorboards? I'll ask her. We might not even be going back to Sai's. I'll ask her.
Velvet nodded before exiting her room and locking the door behind her. She made her way silently down the corridor, before arriving at Blue and Seven's room. She walked up to the ajar door before peering in.
"Hm!" she muttered suddenly upon sighting Rhyme and Kat. "What are you guys doing in here?" she asked, speaking a little louder than before.

[Gifted]

Circles knew what she had to do. Figuring she could fooljust about anyone, she sprinted onto Whammy House lawn, sobbing uncontrollably. She collapsed on all fours on the lawn, in clear view of all the roooms on this side of whammy's House, including Teales old room.

[FoxTrott]

"Kat's asking the same question," Rhyme replied, "And I'm taking advantage of the lack of Seven. See?" He scooted the chair out of the way, so that Velvet could see what was on the screen. "Facebook. It's like a database on every person in America, and even people elsewhere. See, you can type just about any civilian's name in, and it's bound to come up, either in a picture or--is that a kid crying?"

Rhyme walked over to the window, opened it, and leaned out. "Hey, what's wrong?" he called, glad Blue's room was closer to the ground than his, "Lost?"

[Gifted]

Circles ignored him. She was several feet awy from Whammy House still, on the lawn, and the distance and her uncontrolled sobbing made it quit reasonable that she might not have heard. Expecting them to come out and check on her, she started gasping to herself between sobs. "I should've stopped her... I shouldnt've asked them... I should've done something... I should've.. I should've..."

[FoxTrott]

Deciding it definitely wasn't normal to see a child sobbing on the front lawn of an orphanage, Rhyme set out to investigate. He managed to climb through the window, after a bit of squirming, and walked over to the girl.

"Hey," he said in his best concerned voice, kneeling down, "What's wrong, kid?" Rhyme heard her gasps, and frowned. "Come here. You can tell me what's wrong... I might even be able to help. Maybe."

[Raven]

Kat poked her head out the window, then followed Rhyme, getting through the frame a bit easier than he had. She stood a bit away, but her expression was concerned.

[Gifted]

After a few gasps she stopped muttering than. "It's all my fault. I killed my siblings!" Then sobbed uncontrollably again.

[FoxTrott]

"Wh-what?"

Rhyme wobbled, and tried in vain to compose his thoughts. He settled on the idea that she must be overreacting, and chewed on his lip as he spoke. "It's, it's okay," he said, placing his hand on the girl's shoulder, "Calm down, kid. You couldn't have killed anyone. Start from the beginning."

[Raven]

Kat frowned. "Who were your siblings?" Kat asked, but she had a sinking feeling she knew. "And how did you cause their deaths? Start with that."

[Gifted]

After taking several breaths to compose herself, and told her story.
"I was kiddnapped by theese guys. We have a history with them. I realised a pettern in their comings and goings, so I composed a coded messege and sent it to my siblings, begging for help. They came. They tried to get me out. But theese guys had been torturing me.. not phsycally, but... they'd tried to convince me my siblings had come to rescue me before, and then hit me as I was running out the door...." she let a few more tears escape, sniffed, and then went on. "So I didn't trust them. I tried to get them to tell me their names. They tried to explain, but I wouldn't listen. I..I ..I.." she stopped and sobbed a bit more, as if trying to regain her composure. "She heard them say it. Kira. And now Blue and Seven are... are..."
