Still here. Weekend is busy but will try to post.
I hope I catch the bouquet

The shrillness of the voice spewing out the speech was enough to make Lillith hold the phone from her ear a few inches.
Lisa's a banshee now
Lucky amateur. How Lisa even made it out of that mansion was beyond her. That whole thing was a mess. She went in unprepared and half-cocked. She let grief and rage control her, when it should be the other way around. Two days is a decent amount of time. Enough time to sober up and get thinking. If Lisa was gonna find this killer, she'd have to play smarter.
A morning shower washed the weariness away. Lisa was still getting used to the reflection the mirror. Its funny how a dying her hair blond and a haircut changed her appearance so much. A single distinguishable feature changed and she hardly recognized herself. Returning to her room, her wall was plastered with pictures and newspaper clippings connected by threads and thumbtacks. She had collected all the stalker pictures of Mari and arranged them by location and time, both of which can be conveniently found in the photos' EXIF data. A pattern had formed, it showed a rough idea of where Mari went and what she did in the past several weeks.
Instead of chasing shadows, Lisa got to thinking about the murder. Trying to get into the killer's head. Why would the killer dump the body on campus, in such a public place? Was he trying to show off his work? No, that can't be it. Mari's hair was only half dyed, her cloths disheveled. The killer stopped with the job half finished, was he dissatisfied with his own work? If so maybe he was upset and confident enough to dump the body anywhere he pleased. And if he was dissatisfied with Mari, that means he'll look for another victim. Another chance to make his perfect little doll. That's where Lisa comes in.
Lisa needs to bait the killer. She needs to recreate whatever the killer saw in Mari, and use it to draw the killer in. It wasn't hard. She dyed her hair blond and got a similar hair cut. Most of her wardrobe was similar enough to Mari's, they had the same taste in fashion. In fact a couple of her sweaters were Mari's. The hardest part was the makeup. Lisa couldn't remember what kind of makeup Mari used so she went by the pictures.
There were two places she could lay her trap. First, she could and would go to all of Mari's regular hangouts. She needed to retrace all the places Mari went in the pictures, places she knows the killer was and hopefully still is watching. Second, she still needed to find Lilith Adams. Regardless of whether Lilith is the killer or not, she's connected. Just being around her might get the killer's attention. The only lead she had on Lilith was her phone number. After several minutes of going back a forth and contemplating what to say, she decided that the truth wouldn't be a bad place to start.

"Hello? Is this Lilith? Hi I'm Lisa, I'm an old friend of Mari-- I mean Maria. After what happened to her... I guess I just have a lot of questions. I heard you knew her so I was wondering if you and I can talk in person. There's a cafe on campus we can meet. I know this is a weird thing to ask, I just... I hope you can clear some things up for me."

So Ecthelion is in charge of the coal company right? Is the coal company just the name of the merc group, or do they actually have something to do with coal?
No guns. I prefer my weapons to be quiet like the night.
pfft, who needs heavy armor when you can wear funny looking clothes
Acacia only had a wait a few minutes before whatever they were there to do was done. Somehow she expected things to be more complicated. After Vanessa scurried around hiding the bodies of the unconscious guards the team worked their way back to the elevator. Vanessa was energetic, almost jogging down the hallway to the elevator. Their presence may be known, but the enemy doesn't necessarily know who they are yet. Better to take some time to maintain their cover than go running around like suspicious people.
In the elevator ride down seemed to last longer, due to the tension of people possibly on their tails. As soon as they reached garage Acacia followed Vanessa at a brisk but not quite as eager pace. She was already removing her jacket as the doors on the car unlocked and the trunk popped open. The grip on her shotgun was familiar and welcoming. Quickly she started to gear up with the others.
