Kinzo chuckles. It seems someone decided to take action. He enters the now open room and takes a look around.

Eva checks the doors and windows to see if they are locked or visibly disturbed in any way before looking through his drawers and any filing cabinets he might have.

Kinzo chuckles. It seems someone decided to take action. He enters the now open room and takes a look around.
Like Eva, Kinzo finds Kumasawa's body in the floor of the room. No signs of trauma. The windows are locked and intact, so the only way that anyone could enter the room would be through the door...unless they were a witch, or Gaap, of course. The chain appears to have been set before the door was broken in.Eva checks the doors and windows to see if they are locked or visibly disturbed in any way before looking through his drawers and any filing cabinets he might have. Eva finds no broken windows, and they're all locked. The only door in and out of the room is now open, and lacks a chain. Looking through the room, she finds records of Natsuhi's prescriptions, as well as various other medicines. Included are various antivenom bottles for different things that could bite or sting someone, hydrogen peroxide for cuts and scrapes, and antihistamines for dealing with the sniffles.

rubbing her eyes she says "We have to go back downstairs." taking key to the servant's room she tells everyone to follow her as she heads to the servants room.

Everyone follows behind, and they reach the servant's room. Eva unlocks the door and finds the chain is set.

as the door comes to stop as the chain holds it shut vein in Eva's forehead begins to pulsate she shouts "OH FOR FUCK SAKE!" and kicks the door down.

She kicks the door quite hard. It takes a couple of hits before the chain breaks. Inside is the body of Kanon. He is collapsed onto the side of the sofa that sits in the room. Before Eva can keep anyone from coming in, Jessica screams and pushes past her and rushes over to Kanon's side. "K-Kanon! Kanon!" Jessica shakes Kanon, but he just limply shakes back and forth. "Kanon, this isn't funny!"

Eva examine the room for anything out of order, checking out the window then finally move to Kanon's Body to examine it.

Aside from an empty cup that has fallen over - presumably from when Kanon collapsed - Eva finds nothing out of place, and the window is locked. Battler and George pry Jessica away from Kanon long enough for Eva to examine him; like the other two, there's no signs of trauma and he's completely unresponsive. On the sofa next to him is another key, this one identified as to the VIP room.

looking like she wanted to murder someone Eva snatched up the key "upstairs now!" she practically growled before heading up to the third floor.

Everyone hurries along behind her, with George and Battler basically dragging Jessica along with promises of letting her mourn later. Eva gets to the third floor with the rest of the group not far behind her and she opens the VIP room with the key...and yet another chain lock stops the door.

the group can practically see the steam rolling off of Eva as she lets out and angry cry while she does a flying kick to the door.

The chain breaks on the first hit this time around. In the floor of the room lays the body of Genji. By all appearances, he just laid down instead of whatever happened taking him while he was working, like the others so far. The windows are intact and locked from the inside, and there are no signs of trauma. In Genji's hands is yet another key: this one labeled as being to Jessica's room.

As Kinzo examines the body, he feels the anti-magic toxin get stronger. Hearing the crack of wood, he doesn't move until he hears Eva shout about going to the VIP room, then heads out to check out Kanon's body.
As Kinzo moves, another witch appears dressed in pink, and she chuckles.
"What a cute mystery," Lambda chuckles. She looks around for her adorable protegee. "Beato, you'd do your patron a favor by guaranteeing Kanon-kun's death, won't you?"

Beatrice materializes near Lambda. "It has already been done. Kanon died in the servant's room. I had wanted to bring the furniture into the Golden Land, but Maria interfered. I don't know why she has done so this time, but I'll be more careful from now on." Beatrice blows out some smoke. "Kinzo's beginning to be quite troublesome, too. I may just have a remedy for that however....." The witch twirls her pipe in the air and a golden key appears on the first floor.
Kinzo arrives in the servant's room and finds Kanon as Eva had. He observes that it looks like Kanon had been taking a short break when whatever happened happened to him. The only sign of forced entry was when Eva forced the door open. No broken windows, the windows are locked, no signs of outward trauma, but he knows from experience the sort of things magic can do without leaving a trace. While he's doing his search, Kinzo can sense anti-magic toxin growing again, and it's drawing closer with alarming speed.

" You say that," Lambda says with a chuckle. "But I recall reading a tale just a few years ago when some humans were left in a death-like state by some pufferfish venom, yet weren't actually dead. And this just seemed far too suspicious~"
She grins as Kinzo browses the scene. "I think he might be having trouble too." "I'd have far less trouble if a couple of witches wouldn't cackle so much in my ear," Kinzo says, earning a laugh from the pink witch.
He examines Kanon's body more closely, looking for any bruises or cuts. As the Anti-magic toxin rises, he attempts to conceal himself once more

Kinzo finds no cuts or bruises. He then has to leave through the window to avoid the toxin build-up. The first two floors are too filled now, but the third - he senses - is clear for him to return to.
"It is wise to be suspect. I haven't done a closed room chain in a long time, so you never know what kind of tricks I'm going to pull." Beatrice chuckles and disappears in a swarm of butterflies, as the toxin has built up too much even for her to continue manifesting. However, as a final act, she makes sure that the key is sitting somewhere that it won't be missed: the banister of the grand staircase.

Eva examines the room closer before moving to the body to see if there's anything else different about this one then taking the key and checking his pockets.

Aside from the more peaceful position, nothing else is different. The room is neat and tidy, and not a thing is out of place. Upon searching his pockets, however, Eva learns that Genji's study key is missing.
Behind Eva, Maria begins cackling again. "The first twilight is complete! Beatrice will be revived soon and all of you will die! Kihihihihi!"

Kinzo sighs. This was getting ridiculous. How could there be this much toxin? Though the third floor is clear, Kinzo stays where he is, arms crossed, observing. He watches the windows, to see if he spots anything.
