OOC: Takes place after this thread:

BIC: Melissa walked out of her office with a file and a guild book in hand. A Rune Knight from the investigation squad. The rune knight briefed her as her pink clog like mary janes hit the ground. "It seems that the job was done by a Fairy Tail mage," he said as she made her way through the halls. Mel looked at the knight and opened the file. There was a picture of the mark of Fairy Tail on the wall. She looked at it closely. Her eyes thinned as she looked at the markings.

"The marking on the wall is wrong." Mel said.

"How so?"

"Look at this..." She shoved the file into the knight's arms. She then held her guild book up revealing the marking on it. "The guild marking is backwards." She pointed to it. The knight nodded. "I need to get to the scene. Please go grab Mary Mahoney and Towa Lamira. They will be my guide here. Make sure to bring them into the scene." Mel and the Knight parted ways as she left the central head quarters of the base.

Mel walked up to the grounds of the banquet. She sighed as the knights were still cleaning up the mess. She looked around the area. Trees stood on the grounds of the area. She gave a grin as she looked at the building. "Well well..." Mel said looking at the building. "This is a limestone home." She walked up to the building and crossed her arm. "Now we wait for the two soldiers I have chosen."

Towa had arrived right behind some bigshot and really did not pay attention to the woman instead waking past her to one of the Knights. "I received orders to report here." The man take the orders and opens them, he smiles slightly and points at the woman behind Towa. She turn to look at the woman, THIS was the leader of the Rune Knights? Towa sighs and walks up to the woman. "Tōwa Lamira, Alpha Team, You requested my presence here"

Blood seemed to follow her everywhere she went. Inside the country of Fiore and out it mattered little. Darkness, blood and violence followed everywhere that she went. Maker only knew how much evil was in this world, but sometimes to fight darkness you needed to become the very thing you hate. Mary walked in with a box of doughnuts for the Rune Knights to eat under the investigation. This was going to be a long one, mass murderers were never easy to catch. That is what she assumed what this was, seeing all the blood and taped imprints of bodies on the ground. Mary sighed as she walked towards Towa and Melissa Sewelle, "Private Mary Mahoney, Alpha Team. You requested my presence Ms. Sewelle?"

Mary was never given the memo to not call her by the last name she was given. Mary was attempting to be prim and proper towards her boss. That despite the Celestial Mage lost her traditional clothing in Minstrel and traded it for a red fur lined coat. Definitely not standard issue uniform, but people have not complained about it. Mary continued to finish eating her doughnut as she listened to instructions.

Mel looked at Mary and Towa. She gripped a mittened hand and took in a deep breath. "Please..." Mel said disappearing in a cartoon fashion and then reappearing above Mary with her elbow smashed on Mary's head. "Don't call me that. My name is Fancy Mel." She dusted her self off then cleared her throat. "There was supposed to be a banquet here..." Now was a good time to test the observation skills of this duo. She had already heard a little bit about the two and how Mary was "drafted." Mel was still trying to find out what happened with the drafting business. She didn't encourage that at all. "But it looks like a mage from Fairy Tail caused this." Mel held her guild book from the beginning to the side so that the Fairy Tail notes were not seen. She wanted to see if someone agreed with her. She walked inside of the building and saw the markings on the wall. Here thoughts were correct. "Lamira," Mel said looking over at her. She knew the name quite well, but she was not going to tell anyone what her thoughts were about that family. That was a while back. "Find me a metamorphic stone or plant in here... Preferably one that had a good view of the crime. Sometimes limestone is very blurry and I can't see facial features all too well."

Towa sidesteps the falling mel as she falls from the sky, She listens to the mel as she give order. Following Mel into the building, it was horrid, but Towa shows not a hint of emotion. she looks around and see's the Fairy Tail symbol, or what was suppose to be one. "It's backwards..." Mel tells her to find a Stone or plant which does not take long as their are flowers on one of the tables, which she points to dully. "Ma'am... There."

Mary's head met with Fancy Mel's elbow, but ironically Mary did not flinch. She did not feel pain for most part,mostly because compared to getting shot in the head, this was nothing. Mary sighed, this was going to one of those days. A cloud of shadows was managed to be knocked out of her. Almost activating her lineage in process by pure reaction. Still she made a mental note on several bodies that laid around and sheer amount of blood. The one crimson liquid that followed her everywhere. Mary looked at the symbol and then the crime scene. It made no sense, this couldn't be the work of Fairy Tail. Mary looked at the 2 before basically giving her opinion.


"Miss Sew- Fancy Mel, it makes no sense. If Fairy Tail was going Dark, wouldn't they be more likely to hide it and continue pretending to be a Legal guild? This looks more like a frame job from within or outwards. This banquet also seemed to have plenty of rich people among the dead. With an exclusive list like that it would mean our culprit was one of the rich nobles or was some kind of servant. Maybe it was even a job that this Darkie sniped from Fairy Tail. Do we have the names of all the victims that died here or are we still identifying some of them?"

Not like this Private's opinion mattered, but it was best to say it out loud than to be silent.

Mel looked at Towa. She hit it right on the mark. Mel walked over to the drawing on the wall and held the guild book up. "This is the listing of all the guild members currently in Fairy Tail. As you can see, the marking is backwards. Meaning that the person here wasn't from Fairy Tail." Mel walked over to the table that had the flower on it. She put her hand on a petal and closed her eyes then took a deep breath. "Bear with me. Please keep watch over me if I start to do something out of the normal. Sometimes these things... are harsh."

She nodded to Mary. "Private Mahoney. You are right. I do not think it was one of the guests though. Every single one of them are dead. However, this is one guest here who will give us a story." She then concentrated. Her mind began to drift backwards in time as she began to see the day and then she paused it. Her mind drifted into the setting as she looked at the girl in the vision. It was frozen. She held a crazed look on her face as she painted. She walked over and evaluated the room. She then moved forward in time as fast as she could straight back to her mind. Her eyes opened and she moved back and took a gasp. Immediately Mel had a face. She opened the book and looked through all the pictures of the members. "Not here... She's not here..." She looked over at Towa and Mary. "Be prepared. I need to go to a more shady source." Mel said looking at the two. "Usually our best people who do these types of crimes usually join one guild."

"What do you mean?" Towa looked around again. "You mean Savage Skull?" she knew the guild well from her encounters with their members. held up her hand and counted the guild off in her head. *Fairy Tail... Saber Tooth... Blue Pegasus...Lamia Scale...Eclipse Soul* when she said name Eclipse Soul she remembered something, the man Kiba Yukiko was a former dark guild member, a former member of Nox Animus to be exact. "Wait do you mean Eclipse Soul?" she started to think about it members, She had never really had any contact with them but Eclipse Soul produced alot of famous wizards.

(OCC: Yay for self referencing XD)

"No, but it was someone that came in the banquet. Look at how some of the bodies fell, they were paying attention to someone standing at the microphone. You can even see the body of someone who got pushed off the place. This could possibly mean that it was something that distracted them on the stage. First few bodies were killed as they were focused at the podium... Would you mind if some Rune Knights investigate the respective families and ask if they saw a stranger with their recently deceased? Might even give us a clue to who did this awful crime... Maker rest their souls."

Mary bowed her head down and said a small prayer to those that dies. Looking over the covered bodies of the place, there was just a sense of sadness and dread. How could people like this walk like free men in this world. This was not what the Maker wanted, she made a small vow that this person would face justice wherever he or she was. Pulling her hat down closer to her face, by now Towa knowing this was a sign of Mary having dark thoughts, Mary returned to the group.

"Sabretooth? They do have Lord Frederick after all. And there is more than a few ne'er do wells there."
