    Summary

    **Ongoing**
    Orpheus investigates the other manor attendees, finding special interest in a gruff prospector. Finding unusual interest in Campbell, will it turn into something more or flutter to nothing at all?

     

    “I know you miss that composer,” Campbell’s rasp filled the quiet room after a moment of silent tension. “He left you high and dry.”

    With apprehension and sudden fear, Orpheus’ face drained of any color it had once had. How did he know that—? How did he know of his and Kreiburg’s excursion? How could he possibly have guessed that without researching Orpheus himself in depth. The fact Norton brought up Kreiburg at all is a mystery— and it frightened him. The societal implications should he be blackmailed by the prospector. He had no doubt the other would do it for money. On the other hand, would someone really believe someone of his status over his own…? A small tidbit of relief sank through him however arrogant it may be.

    “You just confirmed it for me,” hummed Norton with a condescending laugh. “Silence says it all. You’re too soft for someone coldhearted like Kreiburg or someone busy like me. But I can still fill that missing piece for you just fine.”

    Summary

    Arriving at the estate that had once served as her home, its walls saturated with rumors of a series of strange disappearances, Alice longed to shed light on the questions that tormented her all her life and finally find answers. Red threads connected the clues and repeatedly led to the estate's mysterious owner — a famous novelist, whom she decided to question first. However, the game interfered with her plans, turning the gloomy forest into a place of no return. «Don't look back», — warned a terrifyingly familiar voice.

    Summary

    “M-Melly?” Alice called out in disbelief, covering her mouth in shock, “What- what happened to you?”

    Melly pursed her….mouth,,, or at least whatever part of her it was that resembled one, “I've told you, haven't I? During one of our earliest correspondences…..some mysteries are best left unsolved. Otherwise the consequences will be dire.”

    Alice, still in shock, tried to reach out for Melly's face, but stopped at the last second, catching a whiff of a sickly sweet scent. So pungent it made her gag.

    Summary

    “You are much too kind for your own good.”

    “Mm,” That only makes her smile all the more. “I want to be. It never hurts to be kind.”

    “Then I consider myself lucky,” Something tender slips beneath Melly’s gaze. Her smile feels like the break of spring. “To know someone as kind as you.”

    Summary

    A moth. It tucks safely against the cornice — still, silent, and ever so beautiful. She raises her camera, attempting to capture the sunlight that filters across its wingspan. A lovely keepsake. She smiles.

    “Would you like to have sex, Miss DeRoss?”

    Honey and saccharine. Her heart stutters and the camera turns to stone within her grasp. She blinks. Melly stands there, entirely unbothered. In the corner of her eye, the moth flutters away.

    “Right.. here? In the greenhouse?”

    A tilt of the woman’s head, and then — she smiles.

    “Yes.”

    Summary

    The ticking of the clock in Orpheus's study was the only thing that broke the perfect silence: the pen rested on a blank piece of paper, and the ink dripping from the tip painted the void with a large, dark stain. The man, leaning back in his chair, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the wood, his eyes scanning the room as he lost himself in thought. Suddenly, the creaking of the door interrupted his train of thought. Frederick Kreiburg didn't seem obliged to knock before entering the study where he had been invited.

    Summary

    [Alice never said that Norton cheats. She said that when it comes to games, it seems Norton has luck on his side. You refuse to believe that! If the man is that lucky, then he should have gone into gambling rather than trying to strike it rich by finding gold! Or better yet, he would have found gold by now! Okay, maybe the last statement is rude, given his black lung condition and overall tired demeanor.
    But you are certain he is cheating!
    You are staring at the dice on the board after Norton rolled it, a perfect roll of two for him to land a win.
    Asshole.]

    Summary

    Orpheus’s gaze, pointed at her arm protectively curled over the doll, crawls upwards to meet her eyes. Some sense of understanding seems to wash over him when he reads her expression.

    “I’ll be gentle with him,” he says. “I swear.”

    In which Alice is reacquainted with the ever-evolving definition of love (or something similar to it).

    Summary

    After the strange disappearance of composer Frederick Kreiburg and endless nightmares, a new guest arrives at the manor. The distance between them is evident, Orpheus does not mention what happened at the racecourse, changing the subject every time she wants to inquire, the entomologist does not seem to have an opinion on the matter, almost ignoring that Kreiburg was part of the place, and as for the new guest, the survivor of The Golden Cave accident, he does nothing but confuse her with his strange reactions.

    After exchanging a few words with the former miner, a series of events begins to unfold that will cause trust to flourish, or in the worst case, break down.

    Summary

    When the air around you grows cold and everyone might turn out a foe, what do you do under the cover of night? Maybe to not fall to despair, one has to put his pride aside? When every passing moment only fills the hollow with deprivation, does upholding his image still matter? Frederick's mind rushed with every "against" as he stepped closer and closer to a room that wasn't his.

    Summary

    Regretfully, Orpheus was in fact up for breaking the rules of the 12th manor game again. Perhaps even more regretfully, the one breaking the rules with him is his unwanted partner in crime, Melly Plinius.

    Of course, throughout Ashes of Flop, they've been alone together on many occasions. Arriving at the manor; after the first breakfast; after the racecourse incident and during dinner on the second night. One has to wonder if, one of these days, they might talk about something slightly more harrowing; something that would shift the course of the canon as they know it.

    oh, and they incidentally harbour feelings from each other from the past because paphos b paphos
