dead hearts are everywhere

[goodforsomething]

[Stan arrives at the chapel early. It doesn't take long to re-create his ghost summoning setup from yesterday; he left all the materials stowed under one of the middle pews, where the hymnals should have been. He sets it up exactly as it was, right down to the angles of the candles. Honestly he suspects the mirror was the only really important part, but he's not about to risk technical difficulties. Not tonight.

The rest of it was all gathered up earlier: there's some coffee, to ward against people falling asleep outside the rooms, and a lot of extra notebooks and pens taken from the storage room. He didn't tell anybody what to bring, after all, or what to expect. Secrets are easier for one person to keep, even if only for a day. Some of the rest might have gotten excited, the Kingmaker might have gotten curious, and then what?

As the meeting time draws near, he tears a page from one of the notebooks, scribbles his little symbol and a message on it, and slides it in front of the mirror.]

You there?

[To the others, he turns with a grin. In a voice somewhere between a gravelly whisper and his Mr. Mystery act, he says:]

Thanks for comin'. Our friends on the other side have been waitin' for us.

[Huh. Suddenly there are hieroglyphics. At least Mouri can decipher most of those.

Time to get to business]

Hello everyone. Detective Kogoro Mouri here. I'm sorry for the lack of pleasantries exchange, but I'd rather to get down to business as soon as possible

[Because this is a valuable opportunity! Who knows for how long it can last]

I suppose you all are in something like a copy of the Vault, right? What differences have you noticed from the Vault you are in now and the one you were in when you were alive?

[You're going to get a drawing of the second floor of the Vault. It's nicely done too! More importantly, there's an arrow pointing to the closed off room between the art studio and the sewing room. It's labeled "SURVEILLANCE ROOM".]

[Huh. That is impressive]

Excellent job. Next question:

Do any of you know about similar situations to our current murder problem here? We know there has been at least two in the past. Any objects or strange clues you may have found could be useful.

[Mouri knows the ghosts mentioned an 'Ambitious'. This is mostly to try to see if they have found objects like the locket and the notebooks]
