"Alright Alright! I already told you all, nobody gets in until we finish having the scene documented!" The heavy set black bear bellows out over the crowd, seemingly aggitated as he waits for his summons to be answered.

Perhaps odd for the wolfess to be making her way through such parts of town at the odd hour, Selena moves throught the square with a yawn and a stretch, the debacle certainly having caught her attention.

Before too long, she finds herself in front of the establishment and the guards there, looking somewhat concerned and glancing about the beings gathered there, employees or otherwise, before addressing the guard. "Excuse me, could you tell me what's happening here? I don't think I've heard this much of a commotion from Mange square before, much less the 'pillows."

Rixo shuffles down the streets, armour clinking together. She'd heard there was trouble, and her sense of justice and duty demanded that she help! Well, that and she was mostly curious as to what was going on. She didn't bring her warhammer today, at least, helping to lighten her load. Approaching the captain, she offers a plated salute with her free hand. "Ahoy, I heard there was a bit of trouble?"

"My word," exclaimed Xisysoly in a muted clatter as the crow looks over the crowd, standing up upon the edge of his toes. "You would have thought a proper establishment would have had robes on hand for just such an occurance.." Unhooking the bit of rope from about his hunting staff, he approaches the captain as well. "It would seem that you are in need of a bit of order in this place. How may I be of assistance?"

Siyu huffs a little bit as he's dressed in a long flowing silk kimono. One more akin to a female then a male. Grumbling a little bit as his makeup is a bit smuged, just chittering to himself "Excuse me, but I do count myself as a kind of manager if the Lady Blackback is not in the establishment Good Guard. Please allow me to establish the siutation within this private residence, owned by the Blackback family." he folds his arms, all of 3 foot 10, trying to draw as much dignighty as he can, "I suppose I am the voice of the owner since I am the senior member here." he looks back at the other employees who are huddled and he shhhs shhhs and he tries to calm them. Digging into his kimono he'll pull out a couple of 100 crown coins. Go get food and drinks, linger and talk. Do not worry. But stay nearby if needed. Trying to make sure operations are not too disrupted, but coperating. Just tryign to establish himself within the beings working the scene.

The captain gives a loud grunt as they all seem to finally arrive, the big black bear pointing his thumb at his chest as he speaks loud enough for them all. "My name is Captain Titanus, my boys will be keeping the peace here 'Freeswords', but seeing as my investigations unit is caught up at another scene you'll be aiding my assitant Lunaxia here." Titanus' gaze falling down to Siyu as he leans forward slowly, his arms crossing across his chest. "You can either help the other freeswords, or you can sit out here with the others. So long as the situation inside remains, this building is under the control of the guards."

The Captain moving then to the side as a thin and small mouse woman makes her way forward, clad in the guard's colors, and a board with papers and quills set in her grasp. She pauses for a moment to push her glassess up as she looks to the freeswords before offering a smile. "Greetings! I'm Investigation assistant Lunaxia, and I suppose I'll be working with you today! If you'll all be so kind as to follow me inside so we can discuss the situation while we head to the scene?" The woman quick to turn and skitter her way back inside, moving through the main floor to begin ascending the stairs.

Selena waves back to Rixo as the woman approaches, nods to the other decidely less familiar face. "It's nice to see you as well, Rixo. No hello for me?" She teases with a smile, furrowing her eyebrows a little at the comment from Siyu. "Senior of a few months, if that. I'm fairly certain there'd be beings here that've worked for longer." mutters to nobody in particular, though the next comment is a little more directed, again to the guard. "I'd recommend against leaving only one being to investigate. Perhaps leave them to speak with their co-workers, but alone there's a tendancy to... Miss details."

Luxiana's enthusiasm about the job is met with a raised eyebrow, the wolfess following nevertheless into the building behind the rodent. "So then, what happened?" she asks simply, "I suppose there's a good chance we're going to see the result, but I may as well ask for any other details while we're walking. Better than wasting time later."

Rixo chuckles softly, nodding at Selena. "Of course, of course. Hello to you, as well! I'm always happy to see me, you don't need me to say it, do you?" She gives a wink as she follows after the two, chuckling. "I just didn't notice you at first, that's all. Apologies!"

Xisysoly's head darts back and with a nod to show suitable deference, he speaks to the Captain, "I'd wish you a dull evening Captain, but with this spectacle I doubt you'll get it." He sidesteps the bear and before departing asks, "You shall be here outside then if we have need of you then?" The question is retorical though as Xisyxoly keeps an eye on Lunaxia and if it looks like she's gotten too far ahead he sprints to keep up with the rest of the group, regardless of the answer.

Siyu nods his head, "Just establishing this building belongs to Lord Jessica Blackback, and in lieu of her presence, I Gang Xi Siyu is acting in her best interestin Captain." he bows his head. He's not causing a problem he just wants information known and understood. Respectfuly bowing again. And...a mouse girl! Well that's a sight, he doesn't oft see rodent females, none in fact really. He bows his head again and tucks his hands into the lon silk sleeves of his kimono and swish his wide hips after her. Fallking in line with the other beings as he'll enter with her. e glances at Selena, "It's true of course...but the Lady Blackback is not here. Does anyone else wish to speak for her?" he asks of the assembled group? He glances back to Selena. "I'm just trying to make sure she doens't get hurt all right. I have no nefarious purpose in mind."

The captain gives a gruff huff at Selena's words, waving her off as he clomps down the stairs to grab one of his guards by the shoulders and give him instructions... It seemed the Bear wasn't too happy about having to have freesword help. Turning his head though to look to Xis as he grunts with approval before clearing his throat. "Yes. Me and my guards will be outside making sure nobody disturbs anything."

Inside of the building though, it's easy to see everyone had fled in a large pannic, as bits of board games, cards, and even the occassional aritcal of clothing dot the floor. Luxiana's enthusiasim doesn't seem to abate though as the mouse girl gives them a nod before leading them all to the stairs, heading up to the more 'private' rooms. "Oh yes yes you'll get to see... I do suppose I should warn those whom lose their lunch easily that it may be a tad graphic, but most double homicides are after all." She lets a slight churr as she stops infront of the door and clears her throat. "At approximatly twenty-two thirty tonight, two loud gunshots were reported coming from behind this door, with a reported fifteen, to thirty seconds between each shot. Now, I do not wish to pressure you all but we've two victems beyond the door, one Lulu a local rabit employee who's worked here for a month or so, and a Siegfried, assistant to one Sir G�nter from Thera'dor, and a minor noble of the house schluafuch..." She nods as she sets the papers to her side and looks up to the group. "If you're ready, I can open the door."

Selena sighs, shaking her head. "She's not here, but the deed's been in Firmament since the building was constructed. If the guards didn't know who owned the building there'd be more serious problems. You'll also notice I suggested not leaving the investigation to one being. I didn't implicate you in anything." The wolfess replies, keeping her attention focussed more on the interior than anyone else. "It's fine, Rixo. Double homicide? Well, that'd explain the noise..." she remarks, sighing quietly and looking over at the door with a slight shake of her head.

"Shame. No other background you can give? If Wulf we here this evening I'd probably ask her. Then again, if you don't have anything else to say then it might be worth asking the other employees out front as well." Selena takes a moment and looks back to Siyu. "And since you're here I may as well ask you first. Should we know anything about her that may have got her targetted?" She asks - then as an afterhthought, "I don't mind when the door's opened, pardon me."

Rixo idly taps her haft of her spear on her pauldron, nodding. "I'm used to the grotesque. My first assumption is that someone wanted to kill the noble... And Lulu was a witness. Being the first assumption, that might very will be wrong! Maybe Lulu was the target and the noble was the witness. Hmm..." She rubs her chin and shrugs. "I suppose we will find out, won't we?"

Xisysoly's round eyes narrow a bit as he glances towards the others, "Ah? I suppose I have no objections to seeing what's beyond the door, lunch or otherwise." He nods to Rixo and looks over to Lunaxia, "And I'm of her opinion, if you don't mind letting us see for ourselves." Rubbing his chin he asks, "If not the killer, has the weapon or weapons been found?"

Siyu will follow the group, his brows raise a little bit. Siegfried? Guenter's manservant? He doesn't know Lulu so well, but...still. He idly makes a note for funeral services. Only right after all. He is jolted out of his thought by Selena, "She was rather new, Newer then me. Quiet girl, nice, cute. She was ablte to get along with patrons. Didn't really make many friends among staff. Not at all." he chitters. "Shame. I'll have to tell her family." he tugs upon his ear, not liking that thought, but he is in teh back of the group. He works here so prehaps he shouldn't go first. Just hanging at the back.

She shakes her head gently before clearing her throat as she moves to the side of the door. "None other to really give at this moment, as I told you it was indeed recent. We already have a runner sent to Sir G�nter to inform him, and the other we've sent another runner to records as nobody seemed to know anything about her. We'd have figured it for your standard affair murder suicide, but whomever did this left behind a gift. As far as weapons, no the boys had informed me they didn't discover any laying around..." The girl giving a nod before she turns the knob and pushes the door open.

The room behind the door is as fanciful a room as one would expect from the Twin pillows, complete with a dresser to on the wall to the right, and a closet built into the left side. The closet was open, revealing a large variety of clothing inside that made it almost impossible to see the wall behind them. In the center pushed back against the wall, is the bed made with fine silk and plush comforters... Though it all seems a tad ruined when one puts into account the dead arctic fox sprawled out over the covers, clad only in a pair of blood splattered white pants, and a large gapping hole in the center of his chest. The second body however was laying face down towards the closet doors, a solid hole in the back of her head and a larger exit wound leaving her missing half of her face. She is the more clothed of the two, sporting a black nightgown one would easily call seductive.

There sitting upon the dresser, was a pair of crossed black feathers soaked in blood... They didn't seem to belong to a being though, more likely an animals feathers.

Selena tsks. "The worst part of any job is informing families." She notes, coughing politely. "Any being in a job like that would have to be able to get along with patrons, I'd have thought." Then she looks back to the panda - "Unless someone working here had something against her then it probably falls to Siegfried. I don't see why someone would target the manservant of a noble, though. Think about it - He's likely not a noble himself, and in doing his job he doesn't actually make any choices that'd implicate himself if he was doing his job properly. If he wasn't, he likely wouldn't have been brought out of Thera'dor."

The wolfess shrugs, taking a long breath as the scene is revealed. "... I think I'd rather the murder weapon have been left as a 'present'." She mutters, moving into the room carefully. "The size of the holes doesn't look like a pistol, it's definitely not a crossbow. Frankly it makes me think of a blunderbuss or a very well made musket."

from there, the wolfess moves through the room, paying some attention to area around her. "Except if there was a blunderbuss you'd expect some holes in the walls. Air magic... I have never seen a being do that with it. Cutting winds-type spells don't usually break any bones or make this much of a mess."

Rixo props her ornate spear against the wall after stepping into the room, glancing around with a thoughtful look on her face. Her eyes linger on the feathers for a moment before passing them over. "I'm not sure about the rabbit, but... Could be a hammer. They can make some pretty nasty holes, but the existence of an exit wound makes me uncertain... And they said they heard gunshots. Perhaps some kind of explosive or impact oriented firemath? With less focus on the burning, it might be possible to achieve that kind of... Force? And it might explain the 'gunshot' sounds if it was something explosive."
