some sunny day
Its the early morning, the sun has been up for about an hour or two with the quiet stirring of the Grove. The town slowly wakes up, and goes about their morning...
There is a smell in the halls of the Inn. Subtle in the early hours, but as the sun rises higher in the sky, it becomes difficult to ignore. Pungent and sharp. It's the smell of warm milk on the cusp of growing sour.
Under one of the doors a bright, almost pearlescent substance, that has started to leak out.
Uncovered Clues:
1. Unlocked door.
2. Signs of light scuffling
3. Upended box of pastries
4. Stabbed in the heart, likely died instantly
5. Wound is small with no exit wound.
6. Window is Adjacent to Body
7. Dipper's blood is two different colors, red and pearlescent white. The pearl blood seems older. The red blood comes straight from the wound.
8. body is cold and has been dead some time.
9. Noise at 10-11 pm
10. Dipper left a note for his uncles he was meeting a friend.
11. KNIFE

cw: gun!
She turns to cast Slow on the man, choosing to gamble on this unknown weapon and new acquaintance. She rushes for the stairs after Siffrin and Isabeau. ]
They went out the window!
[ She shouts as loud as she can, praying they can hear her. ]
cw: gun!
--but wow. Even the bullet seems like it's moving slower. He still isn't even aiming for her, but if it does happen to hit her it probably won't do more than bruise.
So, in a move of desperation that probably won't work either, Stan yells:]
NO THEY DIDN'T THEY'RE STILL HERE!
cw: gun!
Your nephew's death doesn't warrant Siffrin's murder, guilty or not. I should hope you understand that when you're calmer.
cw: gun!
You can't seriously still think that's actually him after all that?!
[Stan doesn't even know him that well and he's still sure that's not the real Siffrin. Mostly from how Loop's reacted to things and the little he's been told about the real deal, but the point still stands. Even people who do know Siffrin are starting to see the cracks, and filling in the gaps Stan couldn't explain alone.]
Besides, what would YOU do, huh?! If it was the other way around and it looked like Dipper murdered Siffrin? Would you hold back if everything was pointed at him?
[There's no way she'd be all "this doesn't warrant murder" if Siffrin was the one who'd died, Stan's sure of it.]
no subject
And hey, it's even quiet outside. Please answer the blinding phone.]
no subject
If I break an ankle it's your fault, Loop.
[ Still ready to punch Stan with Rock Craft in a second. ]
no subject
Down in the grass under Siffrin's window. Come see for yourself, since I'm so untrustworthy~ I'd like to put this Universe-damned mystery to rest.]

You'd think this would be great news! Unfortunately, because Stan wanted to be bolting down the stairs, his body suddenly has a lot more momentum than it did thirty seconds ago, and Stan trips down the last two steps, falling on his face just outside the door. Oof!]
no subject
You're the only one willing to kill him on a hunch.
[ This was directed at Loop, of course. ]
no subject
[It wasn't a hunch. I knew.
You wouldn't know Siffrin if they stared you in the face, after all.]
no subject
Since he can't hear what's going on between Odile and Loop, he weakly reaches for her ankle to try and grab it. Maybe he can just hold her in place???
It's not going to work but he's going to try at least.]
no subject
Stanley grabbing at her ankle reminds her that she needs to get a move on, but... where did Isabeau and Siffrin go? She shakes off the hand so she can head towards Siffrin's window. Maybe Loop is still there? ]
I was listening to you, Loop. You're the one who ended that conversation.
no subject
[aaaaaaaand hanging up! bye!
Whenever she gets around to checking, she'll find the bushes have been ripped away from the footprints by Siffrin's window... and no Loop to be found.]
no subject
Hah, I guess I could've replaced him after all? Since you're all so eager to adopt a new who killed him. But fine, do whatever you want. I guess I'm the only one here who cares about Siffrin after all.]
cw: gun!
What I believe and what I might do in your place doesn't matter. I won't hold back now.
[ Two slow old people running down a flight of stairs takes a comedically long time, but Odile finally reaches the door to the inn and throws it open.
She's kind enough to wait just outside and to the left of the door for Stanley, her hand raised in a Rock position. ]
