Cop 1: You’d think nothing ever happens in Verona. They’ve got the whole precinct out here. Cop 2: You have to admit, it is a bit of a strange case. Definitive cause of death? In the most literal sense of the word? Exsanguination. The victim was entirely drained of blood.  Cop 1: What? Is our killer by chance a vampire? Cop 2: Ha ha. Very funny. Eliza: YOURE DOING WHAT. William: What in the hell? Max: Fuck off lady! Eliza: GIVE ME THE PHONE Max: What in the fuck is wrong with you? Lucas: Stay away from her! Eliza: I WANT THE PHONE Bob: ELIZA! Eliza no! William: It looks like what in the hell is right. Nothing is ever easy is it. I will be right back…I have a mess to clean up. Eliza: GIVE ME THE PHONE BRAT. William: Hellman! May I remind you that we are here to solve the chaos, not aid in it. Melissa: What do you think I am trying to do? Bob: Eliza those are children! Eliza: I don’t care! William: I wouldn’t even know where to start. Melissa: Oh shut it Will. I have everything under control. Melissa:.. Max: Get off of him you crazy bitch! Elsa: Oh my god! Max don’t! William: You have quite the peculiar definition of under control. Melissa: Okay look, you and I both know that woman was not leaving this place on her own. Think of it as the problem solving itself.

Eliza: What do you mean the festival is ending? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this? Melissa: I am sorry for the inconvenience but the festivities are unable to continue under these circumstances. You however will be refunded for- Eliza: THREE! Not four! Not two! But three months! Do you know how much work goes into planning these things when you are as busy as me? Bob: Eliza please. Melissa:  Ma’am there’s a homicide investigation in progress. Respectfully, you can not be here. If you have not vacated the premises by noon, we will have to remove you. Eliza: What? Remove me??! Am I being arrested??! Melissa:  Okay look.

Melissa: Well at least not yet. Bob: Can I have just one normal day out. Please. Eliza. Melissa: You aren’t being arrested. You are being filmed by those teenagers though. Eliza: EXCUSE ME. WHAT.

Chapter 2.2 - Monster Boyfriend(s)

Alice watches Akira question Wes with an escalating level of menace. Not only was she hooking up with two monsters, but one of them had a jealousy problem? 

She needed to reevaluate her life choices.

She needed to stop this train wreck. 

She needed to go back to therapy.

“Wes doesn’t like me like that,” she pleads. “We've never done anything!”

“Exactly!” Wes looks around frantically, his arms held up like a shield. “She…she’s very nice but not my type. We’ve only ever been friends.”

“Yeah, that much is obvious.” Akira scoffs.

Alice falters, confusion overtaking her fear. “Wait, you aren’t jealous?” 

“Of Wes?” Akira rolls his eyes like she is missing something obvious. “Fuck no.” Before Alice can ask another question, he’s turned his attention back to the sim in question. “Let’s try something else. Do you have any embarrassing secrets you don’t want anyone to know?”

“I…yes,” Wes straightens. “I mean, doesn’t everyone? Not sure I follow what’s going on here.”

Exasperated, Akira smacks his forehead. “Oh, for fuck’s sake, I can’t believe you are the one honest sim I run into.” 

“Did you want me to lie?” 

“Yes,” Akira replies as he begins shoving Wes towards the door. “Do me a favor and go home. And if anyone asks you about tonight, pretend you don’t know shit.”

“I can’t do that!” Wes digs his heels in, twisting back to look back at Alice. “I’m not leaving you with her!”

“I am not a threat to her,” Akira hisses. “I’m a threat to you. So spare yourself the pain and go home.” He calls over his shoulder to Alice, “I need you to stay here.”

“Stay here? Why? And why are you freaking out at Wes? He didn’t do anything! Akira, you’re scaring the shit out of me!”

Alice’s words take the wind out of his sails. “I am not trying to scare you.” He pinches the bridge of his nose. “I know he didn’t do anything. I wanted him to lie so I could siphon off a little power and use it to subdue Vladislaus since he’s probably hopped up from ripping someone’s throat out and I’m running low.”

“Vlad’s a murderer?” Wes’s eyes widened. “I knew he was a psycho, but a killer too?”

“Do not talk about him like that,” Akira snaps. 

“What kind of monster?” Alice barely feels like she can hear anything, much less process it over the roaring in her ears. And yet, she needs to know.

“I have no idea. I hadn’t figured that out yet.”

It takes a minute for Akira’s words to filter through her brain. And then, Alice’s temper, which she had been doing so good at holding onto, flies free. “Wait. You knew Vlad was a monster this whole time, and you didn’t fucking tell me?”

“When was I supposed to do that?” Akira huffs, which only sets her fury further ablaze. 

“Oh, I dunno. Somewhere in that whole ‘the supernatural is real, ghosts are assholes and vampires can walk in the sun’ conversation!”

“The supernatural is real,” Wes looks around for confirmation.

Alice flashes him a glare. “Yes! Everything is fucking real. Do you mind? I’m yelling at one of my boyfriends!”

“Oh,” he clears his throat. “Right, carry on.”

“How the hell do you not know what he is?” she shouts at Akira. “You’re supernatural!”

“Yeah, fae.” Akira grumbles as he again rolls his eyes. For a minute, Alice considers plucking them out of his head, even though she has no idea where that thought came from. “I’m not a fuckin’ oracle.”

“Are you serious right now?” she tries to take a breath, but all she can see is red. “You’re not an oracle? No shit, buddy, you have pointy ears—”

“He’s an elf?” Wes cries out, interrupting again. The fury radiating from both Alice and Akira must penetrate his brain because he makes a zipping motion over his mouth before stepping back. 

“Listen, I get you are pissed, but we don’t have time for this,” Akira explains.

“Uh yeah. Because you let me invite a monster who eats sims out for a midnight stroll with what?” She pretends to think, “Oh right, A BUNCH OF FUCKING SIMS. You didn’t even think for one minute that this was a bad idea?”

“What do you want from me?” he roars back. “To say that I was worried about your self-absorbed, mouth-breathing classmates? Because I’m not. I don’t give a shit about sims unless they are you.” 

Maybe if she weren’t so pissed, she would give him a point, but not today. “That’s your way of saying you care about me?” she cocks a brow. 

“Yes, I’m not gonna use the l-word, because I know that freaks you out, but trust me, I feel it. I feel it even now when you are driving me up a godsdamned wall. You can yell at me all you want after I find Vladislaus, but I can’t think with both of you running around.”

“The l-word doesn’t—”

“I said I would let one go. Don’t lie and stay here.”

The fucking audacity of this man! “No.”

“No?” he repeats incredulously.

“Let me rephrase that,” she offers with a fake smile. “I meant FUCK NO. You are being so overbearing, do you know that? And such a judgmental asshole. You think I can’t walk around campus in the fucking dark? This is a college ghost hunt, my dude! Everyone is just here to slip a nip from their flasks and hook up. Ghosts aren’t even real!”

As soon as the words fly out of her mouth, Alice regrets them. “Oh shit,” she croaks. “Ghosts are real.”
