Emarcee comes to a screeching halt in the tunnels. Seeing two people there, he immediately points his spear at the both of them
"SURPRISE SUCKAS!!! I GOT A BIG SPEAR!!!"
The Great Being surges with electricity, such that it looks like it'd be dangerous to touch him.
"I knew I'd find the bad guys in these tunnels. Now if only I could deduce which one of you was coming in the other direction, then I'd know for sure which one of you is the murderer."
"WHAT?! Why would I ever smash my friends?! I was just crawling around in the tunnel. In fact you're doing the same thing! You could very well be the murderer for all we know." Bear protested. Terrified by the electrified being.

BearSoliloquyEmarcee Tigress yelps and jumps back, staring wildly at the spear pointed at her and the hissing electricity lighting up the dark tunnels. She snaps. "Hey, cool it, man! I'm not the bad guy--!" She gives a brief gesture to Bear, frozen stiff with terror beside her. "--And I'm pretty sure she's not, either! You're the one with the spear." At this thought, Tigress blinks, then narrows her eyes at Emarcee, a glint of suspicion flickering. "Say. . . what are you doing in here with that thing, anyway?"

"Defending myself from and aggressing against whoever the murderer is, obviously. Also: you have no excuse. I came from that direction."
Emarcee says, pointing behind him.
"There's a series of tunneles with an entrance in Mock's room! which means that whoever the murderer is, they're likely on the other side of the tunnel. The fact remains: you have no alibi, and your name is reminiscent of a deadly animal. Give me one good reason why I should trust you."
Just because you came from that direction means nothing.
As you continue arguing in the dark, stuffy, cramped tunnels of depression you see a small door slowly creaking open, casting an elongated rectangle of light across the dusty floorboards.
Will you investigate the matter? Or will you fight to the DEATH?
if you opt for fiting to le death I have my popcorn waiting
Steve decides that exploring the tunnels is definitely a wise decision. He brandishes his mighty weapon, (his rubber chicken named George) and bravely waddles over towards the tunnel entrance. "Huzzah! Because I'm totally the smartest one in the group, I'm probably the only one who decided to search the tunnels." He pats his own back. "Good job me. Now, TIME TO EXPLORE THE DEPTHS OF THIS DARK AND MYSTERIOUS PASSAGE OF SECRETS." He crawls on his hands and knees and immediately bangs his head on the wall. He passes out.
*SEVERAL MINUTES LATER*
"Snoooree...GDJKV GASP. I was struck!" He leaps to his feat. "No matter. I'm still alive and well." checks watch. "Hmm...." shakes it a few times. "HUZZAH! Dinner time." waddles out of the room twirling George on his way to the cafe. "I must eat before I begin my long and perilous journey."
Hey, it's all cool. I'm just glad everything turned out alright.
Leaf notices that almost everyone has run to the tunnels. She shudders at the thought of closing walls and darkness and decides to turn her attention to the security cameras instead. "Hmm, there must be a surveillance room somewhere. Finding it would definitely shed more light to the situation...and bring more scoops!" She takes out her little notebook and pen then travels up-n-down to each deserted floor. "Alright. Time to get to work."
*dramatically sips tea* For courage.
On his way to the cafe, the chivalrous Steve just so happens to chance upon Tigress. He waves his rubber chicken named George at her. "Why hello there good sir! I'm on my way to the cafe. Care to join me madam?" He twirls his rubber chicken and immediately smacks himself in the face with it. "GEORGE. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS." Continues twirling it. Smacks himself in the face again. "GEORGE STOP THIS AT ONCE!" He throws the unfortunate George violently onto the floor and kicks it across the hallway. "Ahemhem." He straightens his unruly hair. "Sorry about all that. NOW. Where were we friend?" Blanks out. "AH! Oh yes! Supper! Care to join me?"
"WHAT?! Why would I ever smash my friends?! I was just crawling around in the tunnel. In fact you're doing the same thing! You could very well be the murderer for all we know." Bear protested. Terrified by the electrified being.
