The Mystery of Oblivion Manor
It was a gloomy day in The World That Never Was. A storm is howling outside, the castle has an eerie feel to it, and everyone is rather quiet today. Something isn't right. Xemnas is in his study, Xigbar is searching other peoples rooms, Xaldin is in the kitchen, Vexen is in the lab, Lexaeus is striking up a conversation with Saix, Zexion has his nose in a book, Demyx is watching the rain hit the window, Luxord is walking around, Marluxia and Larxene are acting awfully suspicious, and Axel, Roxas, and Xion are talking on the couch. Everything was going strangely smooth today until it happened. Until everyone heard an eerie scream from downstairs.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"
"What was that?" Demyx asks frightened.
"It sounded like it came from the stairs. Come on." Xion says leading the way.
As Xion lead everyone to the stairs, other soon joined in the search of the noise, who had not been with the group originally. Once the reached the stairs, the found Vexen lying at the foot of them. Some gasped while others looked away. That's when Luxord stepped forward to address the group.
"It is under my knowledge, that a murder has taken place here." Luxord says.
Everyone looks at him silently. Wondering if he had a little to much to drink.
"So, as of now this manor is under lookdown. So now, everyone will report to the living room."
Everyone walks to the living room and takes a seat somewhere as Luxord takes a stand at the front of the room. No one is in sorrow, sense it was Vexen, but everyone was frightened that their lives might end tonight. Luxord starts to walk around the room, giving glares to certain people.
"So, right before the murder I stepped into the living room and saw Demyx, Axel, Roxas, and Xion here. Meaning that they couldn't have done it. But as for the rest of you.....Where were you a few minutes ago!?!"
"I was in my study studying." Xemans answers.
"I was cooking." Xaldin replies.
"Me and Lexaeus were having a conversation, heading to the living room when it happened." Saix says.
"I was in the library." Zexion adds, still reading his book.
"I was walking towards the kitchen." Marluxia says.
"I was in the bathroom." Larxene replies.
"So how do I know if you all are telling the truth?" Luxord asks.
"Oh, oh, I know! I know!" Demyx says waving his hand in the air.
"Yes, Demyx." Luxord sighs.
"We could walk back to the room and find out if someone is in there."
"That doesn't make sense."
"Yes it does."
"No, it doesn't."
"Oh, well, then.....NOT MY TURN ANYMORE!" Demyx screams out.
"Then let us tell our stories of where we were and why. Larxene, you go first." Luxord says.
"Well, I was in my room trying to find my favorite pair of black boots for today. Today is such a great day, as I love storms, so the new shoes would make it even better. Well, I found them and I have evidence too." Larxene said sticking her foot out for everyone to see. "But after I found them I had to go to the bathroom to attend to some 'problems' and then it happened." She says.
"Alright then......Marluxia! Go!" Luxord says.
"I was walking to the kitchen to go and get me a snack sense Xaldin never accepts my offers on a healthy meal. So I was going to get some popcorn....." Marluxia says, but is cut off.
"Popcorn is a fatty snack." Roxas says.
"It was once a vegetable. It still counts." Roxas just sighs and stops talking to him after that. "Anyway, I was heading there when I saw Vexen fall down the stairs."
"And who was the murderer?" Luxord asks.
"I don't know. I jumped out of the way. I don't want a dead body on me, especially sense it was Vexen."
"This is getting us nowhere. Shouldn't we look at what type of history we had with this man?" Zexion says.
"Everyone literally hated him. Enough said." Marluxia said quickly.
"You sure answered quickly." Zexion replies.
Marluxia gives him a hateful glare and leans back into his chair. Larxene then gives Marluxia a hateful glare and punches him in the side. Luxord whispers something to Xemnas who then goes into his study and brings out a file on everyone. Luxord opens each file and reads it to himself. He then throws the files down on the table and looks at everyone.
"It looks like we'll have to play the waiting game of who the real murderer it. Eventually, someone will snap. Reveling that they are the murderer." Luxord says proudly.
Luxord then leaves the room to put the files back into the proper place in Xemnas's study. As soon as the door closes, the gossip begins.
"I think you did!" Marluxia says pointing to the prankster trio.
"Why would we do it?" Xion says standing up.
"Oh don't think I don't know. You know that I know that you know that your two pals over there are the serious pranksters while you just get dragged along. I think it was a prank that went to far! You murdered Vexen!" Marluxia explains.
"Well I think that you did!" Roxas says pointing to Larxene.
"And why would I do it?" She says calmly.
"You hate everyone! Who wouldn't you kill?"
"I might kill you in a minute!" She says standing up.
"Larxene, calm down hunny." Marluxia says pulling her back down onto the couch.
"I think it was, Luxord." Xigbar says.
"Why?" Everyone asks.
"You know he gambles like crazy. I think Vexen owed him money and Luxord got tired of waiting."
Luxord walks back in the living room to find that everyone is quietly watching him. He holds up his finger and turns around to drag Vexen's dead body into the room. Everyone laughed at the face he was making. It was the absolutely the silliest face they'd ever seen. After quieting down Luxord throws the body to the floor.
"It is in my knowledge that this body was killed when he was pushed down the three flights of stairs."
Everyone nods in shame at how stupid their 'detective' is. Luxord then takes a pool tarp that he found in a closet and puts it over Vexen, because no one wants to see that thing. He then takes a seat and pulls out a bottle of wine from the mini fridge. He pours himself a glass and takes a seat.
"We'll be here all night....Unless you want to confess now." Luxord tells the group.
Who killed Vexen? Was it Axel, Roxas, and Xion when a prank went to far. Is it Luxord who killed out of rage for not getting his money. Is it Larxene who might have been in the bathroom. Is it someone else who I don't want to mention. If you want to find out stay tuned for the next chapter. Oh yeah! This is inspired by DT 13 or Demyx Time 13 if you didn't know the shortened version of it. Anyway, stay tuned!
