Lorne stared dully into his own hands, streaked with dried blood that wa not his own. His dainty ears were tucked back with shame into the long hair that hung beside his face. His loose clother was stained the the same stuff that covered his hands. The same leather collar that often brought him comfort almost began to constrict his breathing at times. Dark circles marked his eyes and saline dried in streaks down his face. He wanted a bath. HJe wanted to be clean inside and out of whatever had happened, of blood and of death, and maybe of murder too.
A small space on a couch in the big room was all the fox occupied. His legs were tucked up against himself as if he were trying so make himself part of the couch or hide from all the eyes. They were all in that same room, all those who were "rounded up".
He'd finally calmed down, and his hysteria had passed its peak. It wasn't so unreasonable to panice when the heavy, lifeless body of your own master lay in your arms, was it?
Now he had to fight to keep conciousness as he filtered out the presence of everyone else in the room. The stress had taken its toll, making his mind a haze.

Wings folded with care against her back, a young woman, no older than eighteen sat in a chair by herself. Her golden brown eyes glanced at her surroundings with curiousity, distrust, and a dash of fear. Her pale hair hung long over her shoulders, and in the warm light of the ornadent chandelier, filled with flickering candles, her hair seemed the palest of bleached warm browns. The light flashed along the simple gold chain hung around her graceful neck.
She was small. If one only considered her size, she might be labeled a child, but her face knew more years than that. She was nearly an adult, and her face had begun to grow "pretty", as opposed to "cute".
This girl, Elu, was slightly drowsy, used to the warm embrace of the sun, hugging the feather along her wings and and the nape of her neck. Outside, dusk was overcoming the landed, dulling the lights of celebration, like Zoan-Rai's blood on the fine stones that paved the marketplace.
It had been hours since they'd been swept off the street without warning. Every once in a while, a new suspect would be dragged into the room. Most of them had been questioned already, but some had qet to be removed from the room. They would each come back with a different reaction, but it was obvious that the interrogation had gone nowhere so far.

Rill looked around, a chill running down his back. It never got this cold in his homeland, except in the winter when he was bundles up in furs. Of course, the chill had nothing to do with the weather. He was in a small chair in the middle of a dark room, with no understanding of why he was there.
He had been looking for someone earlier. He wasn't sure who, but he had been told to. Two weeks previous, he jad a dream, in which the God Tiidus had appeared to him and told him to wait in the Indigo Estates. There he would find the person destined to travel with. He would know who it was when the time was right.
He stared at the ground, not seeing the grim faces around the room. Someone had blood on them, he could smell it. He hated that smell, as he hated the act of violence, but of course someimes it could not be avoided... His thoughts turned again to his village, destroyed. His mind wandered once again to why he was here. He had been waiting by the blacksmiths when he had seen a flash and a man fell in the street. He was so shocked he couldnt do anything. His unresponsiveness must have been suspicious, for he was then dragged into this room, filled with the stench of blood.
Why Tiidus, he thought, why do this to me? But I must have faith. I will come thought this, as you promised.

Bailey sat on the floor, looking defiantly around him. He didn't do it. No one could prove he did it. He was an innocent, wrongfully accused bystander! Full of childish vindictiveness, his foofy tail swayed furiously. For heaven's sake, why would he stab someone with a weapon when he had a great pointy horn on his head? It was common sense. Logical. The unicorn boy sulked, green eyes glaring from his long orange bangs. Normally Bailey only had two settings anyway, which were Vindictive and Defensive. Now both were vying for the prominent position in his mind, and when he was a witness being taken in for questioning, either of these settings would suit the situation perfectly. He twiddled his thumbs impatiently then stopped. Grownups didn't get impatient, he reasoned. They had an inner switch that made them calm and rational. As Bailey wanted to be grown up more than anything else in the world, he sat up straight and tried to look calm, but eventually had to settle for vaguely puzzled, the only expression that wasn't angry he could display convincingly at the moment.

Mean Bird Guy stared coldy at the room around him and the Tengeinese that occupied it. He'd been pulled off the street by random thugmen after some sort of man was killed. Not that it mattered, personal survival was the only key, and as long as he was alive, and whoever had his paycheck at the time was alive, all was fine. He smiled to himself, knowing that he'd be released soon enough by these common folk, and to dip into a nice cup of tea, but first he needed to reclaim his property, the guards had taken his daggers, and his wallet when he was pushed into this room. He missed the feel of his daggers by his side. His only friends. Them and jack, he missed Jack too. Jack had been taking from him along with his wallet and knives, but jack knew his way around the law, he'd be back soon enough. He let heavy sigh and pulled a pack of Wild 7's from his inside pocket and a match, luckily the guards hadn't taken his smokes. He slapped the pack against his palm and took a slim smoke out of the pack inhaling, "it's really an awful addiction" he thought to himself as he lit. Oh well, theres always time to quit. He idly flicked a at a darkened stain around his sleeve, inhaled the smoke deep into his lungs and closed his eyes.

Shouwrlktjleaned against a wall as his sister argued with a guard and sighed. If his father hadn't asked him to escort his sister he wouldn't have to be here. He could still be out using his charms to get women... or at least be getting drunk. In fact he probably would have ignored his father's request had his mother not spoken to him after. His father's words echoed in his head as he tried to keep his face passive. His eyes wandered over the other women in the room, who were all too preoccupied with what happened to speak with him let alone flirt. His long tail twitched in impatience as he decided to listen to what his sister was saying. "-deserve better treatment! We shouldn't be held here with these commoners! If you aren't going to let us leave at least get us away from this room!" "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. You have to wait until your questioned before you can le-" "This is outrageous! Then why haven't you taken us to be questioned? Being nobles we should have been questioned first! It's our right to-" Shouwrlktjgrabbed his sister's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "That's enough. Father will send someone to get us soon anyway. We won't have to be here much longer. So calm down." He pulled her away from the guard with a kind smile and deposited her amongst her handmaids before she could start to whine at him. He returned to the wall and watched the crowd again, when he noticed a skunk girl in his house colors. Wondering what she was doing here he walked over. He tapped her shoulder, and she squeaked as she turned. "Shou-sama! What are you doing in this place?" Shouwrlktjgrinned as he recognized the woman he 'accidentally' bumped into at the library back home, "I could ask you the same thing, Lan Mei." She opened her mouth to reply when he cut her of, "Come over here and tell me. That way you can leave with us when we leave this place." She bowed respectfully and followed him to where his sister sat amongst the house servants that had been with them.

Liss let out a low, short purr of satisfaction, plopping smugly onto a couch. Her fierce gold eyes shone confidently. She knew they'd be out of here soon. Her Jaguar tail rapped around her mostly bare leg. Her scantily clad body was naturally fair, but was darkened by a rich, smooth tan. Her boot rose over her shins, and usually she was able to slip a short knife into each, but the guards had taken away the one she been dragging in her with.
She hadn't been taken without a fight. One of the guards, a white tiger, had a good deep cut across his broad nose. Her cat-screechs had sounded through the mansion in outrage at having been forced into this place, but she was confident that she'd be released.
Her sandy hair was streaked with black, in contrast to her clothes, what little of it there was, which was a warm indigo, with gold embellishments. Heavy gold studs and hoops weighed her ears down, so that unless she made the effort to keep them up, they drooped by the side of her head.
She laughed to herself, wondering which of these idiots would be the last to leave.

Lan Mei squirmed uncomfortably. Shou-sama was so friendly to her that it felt wrong. She had only ever met him once in the library, and no one else liked her much at all. "W-well, it was my break, Shou-sama. I was only trying to enjoy the festival when people began to yell and panick, and I panicked too, but then someone grabbed me and led me here!" She wrung her palms together nervously. "But that still doesn't explain why you're here." She gave a little gasp and said "Surely they don't suspect you?" in the sort of servile and loyal attitude to which she had grudgingly become accustomed to in order to survive in the household. She thought about the likelihood of Shou-sama committing murder. Maybe he was drunk? She tried to broach this possibility as tactfully as possible. "So... how have you been celebrating to-day, young master?" she said casually.

Pauline was also in the mansion, but her thoughts were more lighthearted than most of the present company. It was hard to tell if she fully fathomed what happened, or if she would care if she did. Instead, she was sitting next to Lorne and poking Wil-BURRRRRH (gnh...), her fat winged rabbit's, nose. Lorne was quiet and messy and scary looking and that bothered her slightly so she wasn't pestering him as was her usual amusement. Instead she looked over at him in a vaguely worried manner and hoped that whatever it was that was bothering him, it would be over soon because she was awfully bored.

Shouwrlktjquirked and eyebrow at Lan Mei's tone. "Unfortunately I have not been celebrating very much at all. I have been forced to babysit my sister all day." Glancing over at his sister as she glared at him. "It's not my fault father insists on a chaperon," she hissed at him. He grinned at her anger and turned back to the lovely Lan Mei. She was looking at her feet which made Shouwrlktjlaugh. She won't be held long by the questioners, he thought, she's too shy and jumpy to even be suspicious.

Alekshiella sat quietly scared on the floor wondering why she was taken into this strange building, it was big, bigger than any other building she had been in before. Her mind kept switching from the two questions "why am I here?" and "where am I?" She didn't remember doing anything wrong, sure she may have been snooping around the mansion, but she was only looking for a little food. Being an orphan didn't get her much food and noone wanted to be near her let alone take her into their home. She still had the appearance of a little girl dispite her age, and just wanted someone to care about her. She sat alone in a small corner watching the confused people, and looking at the one covered in blood, she could smell the blood and hated it. She hated violence and never could stand the sight of blood, it made her sick.

A man with a flowing, firey-coloured cloaked push the door open so it swung fast, and all the way to the wall. His eyes with the coolest blue, contrary to his obvious fury. Ingdignant, the black haired man refused to sit, so instead he remained standing, arms crossed, nose raised slightly. His hair was cat black- jet black in shadow, dark auburn in the sun; Feather from gold to red sprouted from the nape of his neck, some hanging as low as the small of his back. Shanta wrists were bound in bright gold, ornaments rather than imprisonment. The strange, silky cloth that his clothes were made of was ever changed by the flickering candlelight. He took no initiative to interact, and instead stood sulking by himself.

Looks up at the man with one of her ears off to the side slightly "Hello mister, who are you?" she asked in a cute but quiet childish voice. " Do you know where I am? I was hungry looking for food when some mean guys came adn brought me here." Her tail wagging as she spoke. " Why do you look so mean and unhappy mister?" She asks as if she was playing a game of 20 questions.

The fire-garmented man glared down at at the girl. "I'm Shanta. This is the mansion of Zoan-Rai, who was killed this morning. We were ALL dragged here," he pointed out. His answers seemed non-commital, as if they were wasting his time. He shouldn't even be in this place! "I'm unhappy because I don't want to be here. Why am I being interrogated! Shouldn't that happen in that room?" he said, gesturing with a brief head movement towards the room where the suspects were being interrogated.
