Maybe you were expecting it, maybe you weren't. But the body count doesn't remain at one for long.

Hardly even an hour after everything started, there's been another victim claimed - another light, extinguished.

When someone eventually returns to the hidden room connected to the heart, they will find Lights curled up on the floor, freshly killed. The door is open, the the faint shimmer of his remains can be seen from outside. The counter behind him shows signs of a struggle - apparently overpowered, the fairest's entire front is covered with gore and blood, from his throat and all down his chest.

While the bright yellow blood that surrounds him still glows with a strange luminescence, all the light has drained from his body. For the first time, perhaps, his regular features can be observed with actual clarity, left with dim silvery skin. Pain is still etched onto his young face from the attack that led to his death. His empty eyes are still open.

His killer, nowhere to be seen.

[It happens in the morning of Day 14. For the first time since the vines attack, Mason is speaking publicly. More than that he sounds...delighted? Far more delighted than he's ever been heard, in fact. The first thing you hear from the house is him laughing all around you, followed by a marginally more coherent statement.]

Haha...hahahaha. Ha! Oh this is a real classic, I can't believe it. Hah! You're all so funny down there with...with those mortal bodies there and your...[snort] your stupid mortal feelings, I can't-

[He almost starts to laugh again but he manages to contain himself.]

Alright, alright, alright. Alright. [snicker] So...Right.

We've had a little bit of a mix up in the gardens. But no, no, don't get up! I've got it handled. No need to make a fuss or anything, next thing we know it's all going to be right as bloody rain.

[ In the Grand Hall, twin Fairest are standing near the doorway to the Master Bedroom, arguing with hardly a care for whoever passes by. The male Servant is walking a coin over his knuckles. ]

"No, no, it's this way."

"Nonsense, that's far too casual." [ His female counterpart snags the coin just as it reaches his pinky. She puts the coin in her pocket, then makes one appear from thin air. ] "This would be more effective."

"If it's simply a matter of attention, shouldn't it be something more like this?" [ The man takes the coin back from her, then seems to pass it through his palm and catches it in his other hand. ]

[ The two continue to bicker in much the same vein. If anyone happens to watch the debate too closely, they will find themselves suddenly enthralled, unable to look away or move - but still able to speak, at least if they concentrate on it for a few moments. ]
