Snow had covered the mansion of Spinnersilk during the night. Everything appeared so silent and motionless. The ravens in the raven tower were the first to wake up. They felt uneasy and a layer of fear was sneaking between them. It only took one bird with weaker nerves to break the silence with a grawk to have all the birds follow.

The noise stir the residents in the mansion from their slumber. Lady Anna stood up collecting the sheets around herself as she did so, leaving her grumpy husband Elliones in their bed and exposed to the colder air.

"Damn birds... If a hatrat had upseted them again I swear to the light...."

"El."

Anna shortly said her smile dancing on her lips, but the heaviness of her tone cut her husband complaints short. The lady the greatest hat maker in all of land was standing silently and watching out the window. There was a stillness to her posture that made Elliones sit up and take his sword from beside the bed. Without a warning she chuckled sounding overjoyed.

"It snowed! I so want to make a snowman! Will you make a snowman with me? I will make you~"

She declared bouncing to the wardrobe and pouting a robe over her form. Elliones didnt understand his wife most of the time, but upon of centuries of living with her he got some clues. And today he was getting the clue of panic and offness. Yeah sure, a stranger could say the lady was behaving like she always was. Yet the elf truly knew her. So the warrior followed after his lady as she declared she will go and wake up the children.

Elliones was standing guard in hastily thrown on chainmail and pants, sword on ready in front of the door of each room. Guarding with a dead serious look as she skipped and ticked her children into awakeness. Some of them grown adults who didnt appreciate their mother antics. Especially miserable to the happy tone was Gordana who outright snared and tried to bite her mother fingers for letting the light in her dark cave of loneliness and despair.

It was a normal start of the day, like many other. Elliones felt even more on edge, everything appeared as it should be, yet the lady steps were just that much less bouncy. Her eyes just that much more searching. The pair came to the last bedroom door on the floor. The butler's room, probably the only being able to follow the lady train of thoughts at any moment. The kobold was always close by, being an unwavering presence to El. His bedroom was empty.

"Oh he must have gone to fetch a gemling for his breakfast."

Elliones followed his lady downstairs and as she looked over the railing on the first floor down to the ground floor. A scream echoed. In the first moment Elliones didnt know who screamed, so unnatural that sound was from his wife lips, but it was then the elf released it was indeed her.

"Anna!" Zorek came calling and running up confusion clear on his face a gun in each hand. "Are we being robbed?!"

Lady Anna didnt speak, Elliones stuck staring at her and with the corner of the eye watching out for something evil or bad he could slam his sword into.

"My dear!" Frango voice echoed as he too looked over the railing becoming white as a wall, wearing only his underwear and hair as messy as a bird nest. "Hohie was..."

The dark haired elf was in moments beside his wife and pulled Anna into a hug giving her kisses on the forehead. Elliones was thankful to the other husband comforting his Anna as he was much more worried about the safety of their lives and the lives of their children to worry about her breakdown.

"Who did this?" The dwarf shock his head giving a questioning glance to Elliones. Zorek frowned understanding the elf had no clue.

"Someone will have to pay for this. Children go back to your rooms. Now! Adolfen dont let anyone come down. Do it son." The dwarf shoed his son back up stopping them coming any closer to the railing and seeing what was down there, also adding. "Mom will be fine." At seeing the worried glances of the children and adults. As her husband Zorek swore on his wealth that he will go to the ground of this.

It took several minutes before Frango managed to lead Anna to his room, and Elliones and Zorek could tackle the situation head on, the house help by this moment aware of the situation and more than happy to accept guidance and orders from their masters. As they needed to do something, anything.

"Who ever did it is gone." Zorek spoke. "Its must have happened during the snowstorm last night."

"I dont think so." Elliones spoke hands crossed over his chest.

"Oh please you all knowing elf butt, do tell me what do you not think so?" Zorek snapped irritably fingers twitching on his gun.

"They couldnt have left...they are still here." The man whispered to the other, used to the temper of the dwarf and at this point not carrying about it. The silence between the two husbands stretched. The implication only unclear to the brainless.Especially after they combed the house for any intruder. There were no signs of a breaking in either. Zorek let a colorful curse.

"I need to send a raven. There is someone I know. They could help us." Elliones spoke before he left the mansion main doors and made the first steps in the otherwise untouched snow.

Jimmy Jack of 20 other J was nibbling on his evening polished stone in his office, the day was foggy and nothing much was happening in the last several weeks. If this continued he was sure he will have to fire a few people. Yet this day didnt end yet.
A raven landed on his window. Looking at the name of the letter made the old kobold have a shiver. Memories of old days, over coming him. Many of them were anything but happy ones, those days were supposed to end. He settled opened a agency and took the weirdos under his own experience wing. The polished stone was biten cleanly in half as he shallowed the rock and opened the letter.

Jonny Jerrey of 20 other J eyes grow big at the number at the end of the letter. If solved the mstery the amount of gold would get him a sure retirement till the rest of his days. He graoned writting his response letter back with the same raven.

Jonath Joey of 20 other J went to his office door and slammed it open like only he could do. "Mortha Grail and Alexis Halliwell move you behinds over in my office!" He called to the room with several tables, bad lighting and several chairs which most were empty. Along one wall were several bags orderly sorted according to color. Each person working in the Mystery busters had to have a travel bag ready for when they are send off on a mission. Jarvis Jackson of 20 other J hated to waste time on packing and therefore demanded really loudly to pack ahead of time.

Once the two employer were in his office the kobold raised his hand.

"Not a word or I fire you both, and do this job my self."

He warned them, even if he would never accept to do the job himself. Sunsword Eli who wrote the letter in the name of Spinnersilk family sure enough looked at him as a good friend. While the Kobold was in truth terrified of the elf and would tell him anything to make sure he is pleased and he stayed on his good side. He saw him fight, a shiver made his sand stone fur shiver. It worked as he avoided death during his travel with the elf.

"I am sending you on this job because you two skill sets are the best suited for it."
It wasnt like he ha much of a option, the only other two members who were in the office were two wasted dwarfs sleeping happily away. The talented money bringer Kobold , his talent lay in telling the story people wanted to belive and take the money as if he explained the mystery, was on a vacation teaching his kids the ways of Kobold. Which left James Jebby of 20 J with only two option left.

"The pay is on the good side, and the client is a friend of mine so dont mess up or you are fired." If they do mess up, it would mostly likely be their death, which would be the same to him as having them fired. He would have to search for new people to employ.

"You are going to the mansion Spinnersilk, I called the carriage. As far as information goes. You will be informed about the details once you arrive. This is a sensitive matter and ask full discretion. Understood. Good." Which was exactly what the letter said.

"What are you doing still here? Get out now! I want you on yuor way in the next two minutes!"

Two days of boring carrige ride later.

Nothing but nature for the last few hours of the ride, the snow covering every bit of vegetation. Birds were flying out from the forest into the clear sky. The closest house to the mansion was miles away, a testimone to how rich the family was owning everything around them. Or how no one wanted to live any closer to the crazy family.

In the case of Spinnersilk both reason were true.

The carrige stopped in front of the mansion just as the sun was setting coloring till then clear blue sky in a deep red. The raven tower to the side of the mansion was a old looking tall tower and its inhabittes were loudly annoucing their new arrival for everyone to hear. There were barely any foot steps in the snow, the only noticable one at first glance was a pair leading to and from the raven tower towards the front door of the mansion.

The driver of the carriage unloaded both bags and put them on the stone steps in front of the door. Quickly the moment the passenger out his carriage he went back on his way home. Leaving a dwarf and a kobold to stand alone in the snow in the quickly darkening evening.

I'm so happy we have a new case, I love to solve mysteries, but this long carriage ride is the most uncomfortable ride ever.
"Wasn't that the most comfortable journey ever?" Alexis asked Mortha, with a big grin on her face.
I decided to look around once more before ringing the bell, I didn't want to miss something that could be useful later in the investigation.
Look outside roll 11

As she stepped out of the carriage, Mortha went straight to the nearby snow. With a gesture and a thought from the Puppeteer, the snow began to gather and solidify into a Frost Elemental.

"Translate for me, please." Mortha told it in a bright, slightly too loud voice, before using her teeth to remove the puffy pink glove off her right hand. Stuffing that into her pocket, it seemed she summoned her translator just in time to catch what Alexis said. The Elemental hummed and vibrated in short bursts, cold waves wafting off of him. With the combination of ground tremors it was causing, and the degree of cold she felt, Mortha could relatively easily understand speech.

"Oh, I'm sure Twenty-Jay didn't mean to force us into a two-day drive. He must really care about this friend of his." She said with a smile as she walked up to her luggage. The hot pink travel bag, with an adorable kitten logo plastered over its front, clashed against the white all around them. Mortha shuddered deeper into her icy-green winter coat, puffed out a breath of white mist, and went for the door, travel bag in tow.

After a moment of hesitation, she pressed on the doorbell.

@Illyrianna@Magic

The doorbell rung, and yet the door wasnt opened in the same instance. It would take a few minutes until the unlocking could be heard. It slowly opened and one would have to look down to notice the pair of elf girls who were responsible for opening the door. Thougth they appeared to be young children with elfs one could never tell. They could as well be old as the world itself, or they were truly just young elf children. They stared up at the people on the doorstep.

"Are you the one whose father friend send?" Asked the elf girl with white hair.

"Father is being screamed on by papa." Added the other girl with black hair.

"Our mommy is..."

"...with daddy. Who is as well..."

"...Angry at father."

The girls finished each other's sentences and in a unnatural syhcronositaion tilted their heads. Their motion matched up as if there was a mirror between them. Both were dressed up in a dresses, the two colors black and red were dominate in what they wore. They stepped aside Invitingly gesturing for the travelers to enter in the mansion.

"Please come"
"Inside!"

Once inside the lobby, one could notice it was massive and impressive. It was a big room with white ceiling and white magic fireballs floating close to it giving a nice light off. The walls were decorated just like the floor. Everything in the lobby was there to impress. But even with the breathtaking elements there were elements that proved it was actually used. Several coats of all sizes hung along the wall. Under each coat a pair of shoes, sometimes two. On the right and left size of the room two matching murals were covering the whole wall. Depicting the dragon aspects of the world.





"Put your travel coats and shoes right there."

"Try not to trip and break open your head. And over there are the house shoes you can wear while inside."

"Make sure your dont fall chest first into a sword as well. And your guest room..."

"Is on the first floor...Or fall to your death off the balcony while sleepwalking. "

"Father wanted you to settle in the guest room first."

The twin girls spoke pointing to the wall with the coats and two pairs of woolly purple house shoes intended for the guests. The skipped to stand in front of the door that lead from the lobby deeper into the house. Leaning on the heavy but elegantly carved wooden doors they smiled silently awaiting any form of question the mystery busters may have or to lead them on. They looked cheerful nearly.

Achievement unlocked:

Great, just great. Just what I needed, twins sociopaths. Lunatic children, although they could be old, you never know with elves, and they accuse us kobolds of being liars. Hypocrites. I just need to be calm and keep my expresion neutral, can't let them smell fear.
"Hello, yes we were sent by the Mystery busters service. My name is Alexis Halliwell, and this is my brilliant partner Mortha Grail." I gently nudge Mortha forward. "My partner here would like to ask you a few questions."
I took of my grey coat and grey boots. I stood there clutching my navy-blue luggage wearing purple shoes, and decided to chek out two maching murals and the wall with coats, shoes and other items.
Look at murals 9
Look at coats, shoes and other stuff 1

Mortha shuffled in, grateful to be out of the cold. Her translator followed at her heels, almost tripping over the pink luggage a time or two. As the ice construct followed, he began to translate for the little girls. What surprised Mortha was that he translated only one string of sentences, but she saw both girls talking in turn. And right off the bat what she was "hearing" concerned her. It seemed there was a conflict in the house, so much so that the girls readily warned any visitors of various dangers in it. Just how dangerous was this house, exactly?

Mortha blinked with a little squeak as she was nudged forward by her partner. Well, it seemed she was getting herself promoted from a coffee-fetcher to a full-blown detective and thrown into the fray to boot. Miss Grail put on her brightest smile as she crouched to be eye-level with the girls.

"Hi! I'm Mortha. What're your names?" She said, almost hesitantly. "Uh, before we hang up our coats and settle in, would you mind leading us to your father first? I don't feel comfortable settling in while he's being screamed at. Why is he in trouble, by the way?"

She said, and tried ruffling one of the girls' hair in an idle gesture. "And... Why all the warnings, girls? Is the house really that dangerous?"

@Illyrianna@Magic

"Hi! I'm Mortha. What're your names?Uh, before we hang up our coats and settle in, would you mind leading us to your father first? I don't feel comfortable settling in while he's being screamed at. Why is he in trouble, by the way?"

Asked the nice looking dwarf the twins who beamed and introduced themself.

"I am Killy and this is..."

"Deathy. Our father named us."

"About taking him to him..."

"He will come to you in the guest room."

"Mhm, we can tell him that you arrived. So everyone can talk with you."

The girls looked at each other, debating in looks if they should answer the question or not. Nodding in a silent argument.

"Well... papa is stressed."

"When Papa is stressed, he mentions Owlaker..." It appeared that was as much as the girls would say about it. Mortha ruffled the hair of the white haired girl on the right who hummed a low melody at the touch. Her sister filled in the answer to the question. "Are you aware how many accidents happens while at home?"

"There are statistics about it and all."

"Its a lot."

"Seriously lot."

"Criminally lot."

"Otherworldly lot."

"Hauntingly lot."

After Alexis took off her boots and coat she went down the lobby up to one mural. She tried to inspect it, she noticed that they were well taken care off, someone must have regularly cleaned and polished them. Her eyes wandered over the dragons, she knew this were the dragons of creation. But she always failed to remember what were their names. They were something long and complicating sounding. Each dragon had a element they favorited. Thinking for a bit she could only remember 3 out of 6, which were fire, arcane and earth. Giving up on watching the mural she casually walked over to the courts, not bothering to count them and find out how many people lived in the house, instead Alexis observed a pair of really nice looking leather boots.

Just as Alexis moved a bit closer something squeaked in surprise, out each of the boots jumped a small hatrat.


The hatrat with a red glowing aura took off its hat and a spell was casted from the hat. 3 But instead of anything happening, the hat turned into red smoke disappearing, the rat winced in a sound akin to embarrassment.

The hatrat with blue glow stood on its back legs and theatrically taking off the hat, casting a spell aiming at Alexis eyes. 17 It worked quite well, as out the hat 17 small arcane missiles fly out going everywhere.

Alexis received 8 missiles into her face and eyes, each feeling like a pointy stab with a angry long needle, leaving burns behind. That would hurt quite a bit without treatment.

Four missiles went towards the twins who tried to jump out the way, used to the antics of those pests. The twin with black hair who stood left jumped under a close by chair avoiding it 15, but her sister, was much less lucky receiving two into her shoulder4. She winced out loudly.

One missile spinned out of control hitting the red hatrat, killing it with a small colorful explosion of magic.

The last 4 missiles went towards Mortha.

I'm disoriented and in pain from the hits and should probably go see the doctor as soon as possible, but from the corner of my eye I barely see four missiles heading towards Mortha. I panic and try to put up a shield to try to protect her from the missiles. I actually like my new partner and I wouldn't want her to get hurt on her first case.
My shield 13

Alexis eyes hurt, but she could see the flashes going everywhere. Worry gripping the kobold for her fragile partner she tried on pure instinct to cast a spell. But the pain, surprise and limited eye sight she casted the spell but miss calculated where Mortha stood. The shield appeared around the ice companion of Mortha instead of Mortha.

@Magic@TalijaKey

As she "listened" to the twins, with their strange names and stranger speaking patterns, Mortha only marginally kept track of what Alexis was doing. One moment, they were having a pleasant conversation, the next there were two – scratch that – one startled hatrat, and magic missles flew everywhere.

Out of a corner of her eye, she saw the shimmering shield forming around the frost elemental, and had to wonder what Alexis' plan was. Knowing the kobold, no doubt something brilliant - she was the senior after all.

From her crouched position, Mortha attempted to roll towards the safety of that shield. (14)

@Illyrianna@Magic

As the missiles came closer, Mortha successfully rolled into the safety of the shield. Used in her life to avoid things that were coming her way. She saw from the safety of the shield bubble, how the missile hit the carpet and a nearby table, leaving black scourging spots in their wake.

The silence settled in, and the hat rat that cast the magic was gone. The twins blinked and sighed in sync.

"Sorry about that, they have a nest somewhere around the house."

" Daddy keeps on searching but cant find it." Their response came as well breaking the lull of silence. The right twin winced at her own wound, and the left one came up to her wrapping a hand around her sister to help her move.

The heavy doors that lead from the lobby deeper into the house opened and two adult figures appeared. A female one, that was a tall dwarf and a male wearing definitely a weird bunny ear hat.



"Killy and Deathy was that your game that exploded or were those hat rats?" The woman asked holding a frown on her lips. A visible gun on her hip. She looked at the two guests. She appeared quite annoyed for some reason. The man at the other hand looked panicked and like he was only seconds away to fall to his knees.

"I am so sorry young masters! I was cooking for lady Anna. You shouldnt have been bothered to let our honorable guest in... Oh by Kallisto light! You got hurt! I apologize! So sorry, I wasnt by your side to stop it. And our guest as well, I am so sorr- ouch!" The woman just used the gun from her hip to hit the man over the bunny ears cutting a possible endless apology off. She moved determinedly towards Alexis and attempted to grab her by the ear.11

"To the medical bay with you Kobold and Deathy." The two twins followed the female silently and obediently with a smile on their lips, even when Deathy wound slight bleed.

"I am Aniketos, the maid of the house, forgive me for the poor lack of the display of manners. The house doctor there is Lilly Clementina." The man with the bunny ears bowed towards Mortha, to swiftly grab both bags he spotted. Raising one bag than the other he spoke. "Pink bag, Lady Anna will gift you something because its winter season and blue bag present is in the library because today breakfast for Frango had toast." He recite happily like a child proud of the fact he memorized a complicated poem after much effort.

In pain and almost blind I try to avoid when the doctor of the house tries to grab me. If dr Clementine is always this gentle with her patients I'm afraid for our health in this house. We really should try and solve this case as soon as possible.
"Hello dr Clementine. My name is Alexis Halliwell and that was my partner Mortha Grail. We were sent by the Mystery busters service. Could you tell me how long have you worked here?"
Avoiding being grabbed 1

@TalijaKey@Magic

Mortha stood up cautiously, patting dust off her coat with her good arm. She looked to where the hatrat used to be, then back to the girls. One of them seemed to be bleeding, but before Mortha could try to help with that, two more people stepped into the room.

"Oh dear." Mortha said as the doctor smacked the poor maid over the head with the pistol. She was about to protest, when the woman just went forth to grab her partner by her ear.

"Uh... Hello." She said to the maid. "Wait, one second!" She added, and proceeded to take off her coat in quick, practiced movements. So much so, that her artificial arm remained attached through the whole thing.

She then handed the coat to Aniketos. "Thank you! You're very kind. I better catch up with the rest." The tall dwarf said, bowing slightly to him before she went after Lilly, Alexis and the girls.

@Illyrianna@Magic
Alexis asked a question and just as the words left her mount she realized her mistake. This was a not simple a rude doctor, Lilly was a born leader and was filled with so much confidence, that when she looked down at the Kobold. Alexis knew this woman was what one would describe as alpha. Alexis didnt resist as her ear was grabbed and making herself as small as possible followed hastily where the good doc was dragging her. Making sure she was staring at her feet, at least as much she could see her feet. Alexis was completely aware she wouldnt be able to speak to this doctor if not previously spoken to. Of course she could always ask Mortha to do it for her.

Meanwhile Aniketos took the coat from Mortha and tripping over his feet put it up alongside all the other jackets and coats on the wall. He hurried back carrying the bags. "Ah, I am sorry. Lilly worked here for three years only, I grow up here. I hope it answer your question. I am sorry... for... you see..."

The group entered the hearth of the mansion. A enormous open space, light with magical lights high above their heads. One could look up and see the first floor hallway separated with a railing. Looking directly up, one could observe another painting covering the ceiling. It was a sky filled with magic. Gold was everywhere and it all but looked as if it was flowing down the pillars that were giving the space the feeling of grand. Thought on one spot if looked carefully enough one could think there were fish swimming around. Or maybe the magical light was playing tricks. One of those two.

The space was big enough to put a theater/performance hall inside and still have some extra room to spare. Walking on the floor didnt made any sound like one await from walking on stone. The floor was as well a clean white color, everywhere but around the middle. There a wall of purple crystal was surrounding something. Protecting it from outside influences. Surrounding something that was laying there from all sided and the top.

The people walking with the mystery buster didnt even look in the direction of the half see thought crystal. The maid was shaking, gripping the handles of the bags with all his might. The twins moved closer to each other and were slightly fidgeted. Lilly step became faster and more strict. What ever was encased by the crystal was affecting the inhabitants of the mansion. The doctor lead them into one room (GM note: discovered room 5), while the maid all but run onward and up the stairs. Presumably to put the bags down in the guest room.

The room was a medical bay with eight beds. It looked exactly like any other medical bay would look. Deathy jumped and sat on one bed, while the doctor all but planted Alexis on the bed. Without a word she started touching the kobolds face and examining her. Lilly hand started to glow white. 12 In matter of moments Alexis was completely restored. The pain melted away, her eyes returned to their former glory.

"Done. You are free to go." She declared and turned towards Deathy and Killy who was standing beside her sister.12 Once more it appeared as if the magic was a success and healing the kid. "Done.You are free to go."
It was then she turned towards Mortha and eyed her. The doctor skilled eye noticed the false arm, and the help from the ice elemental. She assumed those wounds to be war scars and that the fragile looking thing is the leader of group. Because in the tall dwarf mind the kobold she just healed couldnt be possible a leader in anything. So she spoke to Mortha from one tall dwarf to another.

"To make something clear. I didnt do it. I had no reason to do it. He was a annoyance with several cups missing in his head, and I would gladly shot him or punch him. But I would never go so far as to do that to him. So do not annoy me, and dont get in my way. Are we clear?" Lilly hands were caressing the gun that was resting on her hips.

I sigh with relief at being able to see again. Stupid case, it's going to get us killed. If I understood correctly, according to what dr bully said 'He was a annoyance...', a certain "he" is no longer with us. I look at Mortha hoping she will inquire more about who this "he" is.

@TalijaKey@Magic

Mortha stepped into the medical bay, and watched with relief as the doctor tended her partner and Deathy. Simple pests or not, the little hatrats did damage that cannot be ignored. It was no wonder the girls were obsessed with accidents.

But then the doctor turned to her, eyeing the fake arm. Mortha tried not to fidget where she stood, and mentally began preparing an explanation for her weak health. Every once in a while, people tended to fret over her fragile state, and it was something she had to explain time and time again. She was stable, and not in any immediate danger after all.

As she opened her mouth to speak, the doctor voiced a completely different train of thought. A thousand questions flooded the assistant-turned-detective's mind, until she could no longer hold them back.

"Did you just threaten me?" Was the question that won the race. Mortha's tone was incredulous. Why on earth would anyone threaten her, so out of the blue?

"And... Did you just admit you would shoot him? And you didn't do what to him, exactly? And who is 'him'?" She gave her kobold partner a glance, uncertain that this doctor really just threatened her.

"Please, keep your hands away from the gun. There's no need for further violence, ma'am. Tell us what happened." Mortha said, a sad yet hopeful expression on her face. What happened to this woman to make her so... jaded?

@Illyrianna@Magic

Lily annoyedly snorted and rolled her eyes. Threaten? They would know if she did such a thing, but till now? She considered herself to been polite. Then came the other questions and the woman tapped on her gun handle while sighing. Completely ignoring Mortha request to keep her hands away from the gun. Her body language clearly stating that will not happen anytime soon, without a fight.

"Who is him?...Tell you what happened? If we knew what happened you wouldnt even be here." She snapped, but her mood quickly deflated and she sighed and started to slowly walk up to Mortha and then by the tall dwarf stopping beside the door to the medical bay. With a thumb she pointed out the door and towards the purple crystal in the center of the massive room. "Thats him. Go look for yourself what happened. If you need a medical report on it... I will do it but the cause is pretty obvious. Armin will undo the preservation magic for a closer look, once Elliones allows it. So go talk to him, he was insistent to be the one explaning the situation to you bunch. He is Lady Anna husband his word is law after Laddy Annas that is."

At that the twins chipped in up till now silently sitting there looking at Alexis and occasionally waving at her in sync. Yet neither smiled, they simple looked like they were training in holding a poker face.

"Father wanted you two to..."
"... settle in the guest room first." Deathy slid off the medical bay, Killy never letting go of her sister hand.
"He will come to..."
"... you in the guest room."
"Maybe he is already..."
"...there waiting for you."
"He is real good at waiting."
"True. What do you..."
"...want us to do?" They looked between the three adults to settle they eyes on Alexis. Moving up beside her, staring at her. Indirectly telling that they wanted to follow the Mystery busters, or show them the way around.

Great, the twins are looking at me. Just great.
I put a small smile on my face and crouched to be eye-level with Deathy and Killy, such a lovely names.
"It would really help us alot if you two sweet angels could show us to our rooms so we can speak with your father." I said as I awkwardly padded each girl on the head. The sooner we talk with him the better.
