Arthur

“I’m so sorry I fell asleep again but I really couldn’t help it Arthur's hair was just so soft and it was like a pillow. Something I haven’t used in a while but back to the point what am I supposed to be thinking about?”

Arthur was surprised that she had managed to fall asleep without falling forward, though he supposed it was best not to look a gift horse in the mouth and all that. "Cassandra thinks that there are witches in the city, and that there's trouble brewing in the witches' realm." Cassandra laughed at the pun, but Arthur continued without acknowledging this, or indicating whether or not it had been intentional. "For the moment, the portal is closed, and she can't track an of them down, so there doesn't seem to be much we can do about it. I was asking your opinion on all this. Also, we'd better get going if we want to make it to class on time."

Amelia

"If this concludes our meeting, I have cases that need to be investigated. Farewell. It was nice meeting you Muzai." With that, Amelia walked out of the den, and was about to open the front door, when her sister stopped her. "Wait. Before you go, I wanted to warn you; there's something really strong and really angry somewhere in Death City. It isn't as strong as whatever I felt in the witches' realm, and it seemed sort of restrained, but it's still dangerous, so be careful." With a confidant smirk, and a tip of her hat, Amelia stated simply "I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for the information." Moments later, she was gone, riding her motorized scooter into the city.

On the way, she began to think about where to start. She could begin by just walking around town, asking people if they'd seen anything out of the ordinary recently, but then again, this was Death City. For something to seem odd here, it would have to strain the sanity of people who lived elsewhere. Briefly, she considered trying to speak with Lord Death himself, but that might not be an option, even with the Archer family's standing. Still, lacking an actually crime scene to investigate, Amelia figured that this was the next best thing, so she may as well try.

So it was that the pint-sized detective made her way to the Death Weapon Meister Academy, and stopped in front of what appeared to be a reception desk. "Amelia Annalise Alice Archer, of the Archer family. Do you know if Lord Death is busy at the moment? There's an important matter that I'd like to speak with him about."
