"What am I supposed to do now?"

[animated, blood/gore]

Well, figure out how long ago it happened, for one. Check the calendar, see if this was recent or not. Step two, call the sheriff.

What killed them? Are you two safe?

>>811406
Considering they're holding each other's hand, I'm going to say Murder/Suicide.

check near the doors and windows for tracks, who(what)ever did this may still be inside

Now that they're gone, you'll have to grow up. Find a job. I suggest working as a waitress.

If your crying wipe the tears from your face, get some one who knows how to properly deal with this shit like the Sheriff or other local law enforcement.

>>811404
Holy shit, their throats have been ripped out! D8

CALL THE POLICE

Dial 911 immediately. Holy shit.

First, recall your legal standing, also known as "Suspicion" or "Heat".

If your family is in good legal standing, has few enemies and has even fewer incentives for a raid, call the police and get the @#$% away from this house.

If your family is (A) crime-related, (B) targeted by powerful leaders of society, or (C) cursed, you'll want to bury the bodies in secret, then assume ownership of the house.

Or you could just take your liquid assets, escape the estate, and never come back.

Your parents death doesn't look natural.
You and your sister had went to the fair this morning and everything was normal. This couldn't have been suicide, you never sensed any kind of melancholy in the house and you could not see your father killing his own wife.
Your father has always been your role model.

But yes, that's right... There's no use in crying, that's something your father taught you.

You have to make sure your sister is safe.

You call to your sister for her to go get the sheriff, she calls back asking if you're going to be ok. She's obviously shaken up. You assure her that everything will be fine if she gets the sheriff.

She hurries off.

Your family, the James family, were the founders of this town and even though you've never been a big part of the family administration you know your father has received death threats before.
If someone was in here, you and your sister didn't see anyone or anything out of the ordinary.
Though you think looking for clues isn't a bad idea, at least until the sheriff gets here.
Where do you start?

>>811779
Look under the dresser if possible.

Check up on your family safe. Make sure they didn't steal anything.

>>811779
Check pockets of parents, do not disturb scene.

Check to see if all the entrances to the house to see if the killer took another way in or just went in the front door. Make sure not to touch anything for evidence tampering reasons.

Try to identify things that are in different positions from where they were this morning. Your parents could have opened or closed windows or cabinets on their own, but if they don't those are indications of what the assassin interacted with.

You have any gloves? If you do put on some gloves. If your parents' killer left behind any signs of who they are or exactly what they did here, you'll want to preserve those as well as possible.

So, leave no fingerprints, put everything back exactly as you found it. If you're thinking of moving something you don't think you'd be able to put exactly as it was, maybe consider not moving it.

Get your Pa's gun. No sense being unprepared with a murderer around.

Remove clothes and check rabbit thoroughly for concealed weapons.

>>811783
Nope, that's best done with the sheriff as witness.

Take off your clothes and take a bath.

It's a pocketwatch with a spider symbol etched to its front.
You've never seen this type of insignia before, it's carefully scratched into the metal, but it looks hand drawn. You think it must have been left behind by the intruder.

You can't get your pa's gun since he kept it either in his office or on him at all times.
You are also too stressed to even think of taking a bath right now!

Pop locket, drop it.

Did your father have any other weapons? A shield? At the very least, find some armor. If the murderer or his team are still here, you may want to defend yourself.

>>817654
Anything inside the pocketwatch? Sometimes there are inscriptions on the inside of the cover.

>>817657
okay you've found something new, now is there anything missing? wrack your brains, sometimes it's what you don't find that is most telling

Does she really have to be this loud? You wish you could be mad at her but she was probably worried about you being alone in the house.
You hear her start sobbing.
What should you do?

She's hogging all the attention! Do a double front flip onto the lawn.

Call for the sheriff, assuming he is nearby. Make it clear you want help making sense of the circumstances without a bunch of people moving around the house messing with possible evidences.
Also ask the people you consider trustworthy to watch your sister. You don't want her to enter the house and see what you saw.

Go meet the sheriff at the door, and show him what you found.

>>833956
???: "Don't turn 'round, don't scream, I jus' wan' my watch."

What do you do?

Ask him why he killed your parents.

His first action wasn't shooting you so he most likely has a good reason not like, like not wanting to draw attention to himself, so act understandably scared and shaky, and accidentally drop the watch out the window.

Tumble out the window with slightly less grace than previously intended.

>"Hey there miss, I think you've got something 'o mine."
"I believe you took something of mine as well, sir. And that you're not in a position to give it back."

"Look out the window, ya idjit. You pull that trigger and the whole crowd'll pull out their pitches and torches. They'll burn down the manor, Amy will get the insurance money, and you'll lose EVERYTHING you came here to steal. And your precious fake watch."

>>833958
Start crying, then act like you're gonna give him the watch and "accidentally" drop it out the window.

Well, it's just a watch. No reason for us to keep it, and it wouldn't prove anything to anyone since it wasn't a detective that found it.

Just give it to him.

Shootin ya's just going to attract attention. Call the bluff.

That was a stupid thing to do. I mean the murderer, not you. He is still in the house when the towns people, including the sheriff, have got here already.
The watch is not important. Might as well give it to him, but in a way that waste as much of his time as possible. Slow movements, lots of questions, clumsy "mistakes", anything to gain time. And stay close to the window, don't let it be closed.
It's strange that he have a gun when your parents were killed with a knife.

Yep, well, cant do much in this situation other than comply

Give them your lint. Might as well free up inventory space.

>>834027
What if the gun has a silencer?

>>834639
Judging from how old fashioned everything looks, I don't think the silencer has been invented yet.

>>834639
Silencers don't magically silence firearms, Delian. It just makes the gunshot a bit less loud. If they're close enough that their voices can be heard they'll hear the gunshot either way.

I'd go with calling their bluff but i'm worried they might genuinely think shooting you would be a good idea right now

You go through all the possibilities you could possibly think of right now, the crowd outside would probably hear the gunshot but what would that be worth if you end up dead?
You could drop the watch but you don't want to risk it, it's important enough to him that he couldn't leave without it, which makes you all the more cautious about giving it back.
You really aren't sure of what to do right now.

>>835055
There's only one thing left to do!

Jump out the window! You have a better chance of surviving a fall than you do surviving a bullet to the head!

Ask why he didn't shot your parents.

Out the window both of you go.

HE IS HOLDING A GUN TO YOUR HEAD, Just give him the Watch. If you really want to try maybe fumble it while giving it to him but don't try anything else.

You wake up startled and disoriented. You can hear voices from somewhere but you're slow to recognize them or where they're coming from.

Rise out of bed and check your surroundings.

>>835079
This.

If it's the Sheriff, then tell him that a man that owns a pocketwatch with a spider symbol etched to its front held a gun to your head!

He wanted his watch so badly, now that he's got it, he's made himself easy to identify!

peek through the crack in the door and see if you can't tell who's outside

>>835080
This.

You have brought great dishonor upon your family. Find a katana and commit sudoku.

Relieve tension

Check if your boobs are still there.

Then get up, exit the room and head towards the voices.

How sure are we that he's the murderer? What room did we find the watch in? Under a dresser, no less? It wasn't the room your parents were in, that's for sure. So if it did belong to the murderer, then how the hey did it wind up out there? What we can now confirm is; there was at least one conflict within this house besides the murder, in whatever that room is, between the original owner of the watch (not even necessarily the one that has it now) and someone else. I have no other good explanation for why the watch would end up there.

>>835073

Realize you've been watching too many of those crazy frontier murder mystery shows and just had one heck of a nightmare.

Take a few deep breaths, organize your thoughts, and say something.
