"Holly, you don't think this is for..." Began the Dwarf. But he wouldn't bring himself to finish. "For fun, do you?" The elf stood silently staring at the body, chewing on her bottom lip. Her eyes were lock to the ground, deeply concentrating, perhaps on something that lay hidden beneath them. "I think," She stated, ever-so solemnly, "that thats a strong possiblility."

"Let hope its not the right one."

The Zombie House - Wednesday Dec. 14
00:01

"So, this stuff really works?" The booming of speakers could be heard many floors below, but they were above, and in this building sound could not move upwards. Artemis stared coldly at the small and rather fat man sitting at the far end of the table, waiting for a reply. It was only a matter a seconds befor he got his awnser of course, but he didn't really enjoy waiting that long.
The tiny man smiled, revaling many crooked and blackened yellow teeth. "It does if you can afford it, but its safe to assume that someone like you would have no trouble in affording something as trivial as this." the man spoke with a thick seemingly romanian accent jumbled the words up a bit, but his meaning was understood. "I assure you Mr. Fowl, you money will be well spent."
"So," The boy broke from his usually monotoned way of speaking, and reveal what could almost be called relief, "This is going to help me remember?"
The man leaned back and smiled, "But of course, it will take time for the mixture to ripen but it will work. There will however be some minor side effects, but nothing too serious, do not concern yourself."
"What kind of side effects?" the boy raised an accusing eyebrow.
Silence followed, the short man shifted uneasily, not wanting to lose another client, knowing that this boy would not be easily decived. "In these, how do you say, magics," he stated slowly, pronouncing magics as majieks. "there is always a price. That is why human magics are not often practiced, they are much darker than the other kinds. But," the man pulled out a vial, filled with a metalic blue liquid. "why would you come to me if you could use those?" Artemis payed the man in full, and held the vial up to the light,
"Why indeed." The boy pocketed the vial and proceeded to exit the room, having no futher buisness with this man or his establishment.
"Of course you know boy, you cannot choose what you remember, you get everything the good and the bad, and there is no going back!" the man looked from side to side, and added quickly, "No refunds." The door was slammed and locked, and the boy was no longer welcome here.

Fowl manor- Wednesday Dec. 14

"Oh, whats taking that insipid mudboy so long?" The dwarf growned, "We've been waiting for hours." "Calm down, you complaining isn't...did you just say insipid?" The elf looked at her hairy companion with widened eyes. "Yeah so, its word." The dwarf said arms crossed. "I think." The elf rolled her eyes. "It is, it just sounds weird coming out of your mouth." The dwarf muttered angrily, or maybe he was just annoyed, as Juliet came into the room, hold two steaming caffinated beverages. "Sorry about the wait guys, he usually isn't out this late." Juliet smiled nervously, "Well, he's always here when I wake up anyway." The girls smile turned into a frown. "I'm a horrible guardian."
Holly shook her head, "No your not, Artemis just has listening problems." Having had there backs turned to the door, they did not see the boy enter, and being wrapped up in their conversation, the only one who heard the door close was mulch.
"Well look who decided to show up." Everyone turned their heads to the boy. He looked worn, his eyes were empty and tired, and his face appeared fade and gray. He smiled his trademark vampire smile and turned to speak, of course being cut off, not like anything he said was of value anyway.
"Artemis you idiot, I was worried about you." Juliet ran up to him and hugged him, this gained her a peculiar look from the boy. "No, you weren't, and if you were its only cause they showed up." He guestered to the detectives.
"Thats not true." Juliet said, the tone of her voice was stressed, a bit hard to firgure out how she meant that.
"Yes, it is, I'm always out, you never cared before." He offered a dry laugh. "Doesn't matter though. It'd be a waste of energy to worry about me. So Ms. Short, to what do I owe the pleasure?"
Holly brushed some imaginary dirt off her clothes, "Right, right. Straight to buisness as usual. I--"
"You need my help with that case of yours? The rash of murders." Vampire smile, as usual. God that was creepy.
"Yes," she started. "Now the kill-"
"Sorry Ms. Short, but I can't help you, I'm not a murder, and I don't know much about how they act." The boy stared coolly at the elf, who sighed before offering a response.
"I know your not a murder, but you are a criminal master mind, and this is a criminal, and I need to know how these murders are connected."
The boy laughed, "Have you considered the possiblility that these killings are random?" The elf said nothing, but her eyes told him that she had, "Of course you have, but you just want me to prove that to be false, because if they're random, then its an act of pleasure, not hate, and something that dark must scare you to no end, am I correct Ms. short?"
The elf glared at the boy, "Your only half right, yes I would like for you to prove me wrong, but if you can't and we really do have someone that sick lurking in haven, then your probably the only intelligent person who would belive me, everyone else will deny it until they're the ones being attacked. And if they can't admit it then they'll be looking in the wrong place and this guy will just keep killing. Look I don't have much but I'll pay you, if you help me. And don't call me Ms. Short."
Artemis smiled, entwining his fingers, "So, whats the body count."
