Worthington Manor Blog, Days Five to Eight

Day Five

I'm on the laptop right now, watching Dr. Neon and Mr. Worthington playing a game of Go Fish in the Entertainment Lounge (a room on the thirteenth floor right next to another room which I don't have the key to). How can I see them? Well, I took the liberty of hooking up security cams in every room that I have the key to! I can view them in my room on my laptop. I picked up the software from Mr. Worthington! Its called WorthingCam, and the picture quality is great! But since the cameras are connected to the Worthington electricity system - controlled by switches in the basement (the camera isn't working down there - weird) - I won't be able to see anything should the power go out.

Okay, its Doctor Neon's draw. He says..."Go Fish."

I know, I know. The horror is extreme! But it must be written down.

Okay. Mr. Worthington's draw. And - BOOM! He wins! He's saying something to Doctor Neon. I only catch the words "faithless assistant" but that can't be it. Now he's eating a tortilla chip and

Wait - what's happening to the cameras?!?!?!

Oh shoot.

I can't see anything!

Everyone's coming out in the hallway except the artist Bernie Ingels (who wouldn't know, he's painting on the balcony). And I mean EVERYONE. Everyone is on this floor but Doctor Neon and Mr. Worthington, who are downstairs.

I'm out in the hall. Old Lady Bloof, a maid, is holding a candle. I'm carrying my laptop and typing as I walk. Ms. Periwinkle is giving me a look that says "what?" and reading over my shoulder but I don't care about her. Now she says "Hey" and I just want to slap her face in anger. She said "HEY" again but forget about it. I snatch the candle from Old Lady Bloof and she spanks me twice with a feather duster and I laugh and now she spanks me with a broom and it hurts and I'm going downstairs.

I see some sort of shadow emerge from the Entertainment Lounge and drag a thing that looks like a body into the room that I don't have a key to. Ms. Periwinkle whispers into my ear that its a steel locked room and I hit her and she says "OW" and I say go away you hag.

The shadow looks up, shrugs, and drags that thing that's shaped like a body but of course can't be a body into the steel locked room.

Probably a stuffed unicorn.

Day Six

Today, Dr. Neon was found dead! There was an axe in his chest saying Property of Cornelius Worthington. The murderer must've stolen his axe! I'm getting closer to the culprit!

I've been thinking about how the murderer shut the lights last night...because everyone was on that floor. Maybe the murderer has a teleporter!

Well, Mrs. Grey is in for some big trouble now. Today, she said  would miss Dr. Neon. She looks like she liked him (although she's still hitting on me). Then we went to the funeral with Mrs. Grey being especially sad. Ugh. That sounds so depressing. I mean you can't spell funeral without "fun" right? Sadness is a sign of pure EVIL! So I got up on the coffin and started a rally against Capitalism! Pretty fun, am I right?

At the morgue we looked at the dead body. Ms. Red comforted Mrs. Grey, and they had to leave. Ms. Red seems nice. She's friendly to me, she's friendly to Mrs. Grey and Ms. Periwinkle, and she WAS friendly to Dr. Neon. But she's kinda scared of Mr. Worthington, who is watching her friends like a wolf watches fat, juicy deer. Fat juicy deer.

Interesting.

Hey, look! The cops! I wonder what they're doing here...

TWO WEEKS LATER

Day Seven (sort of)/Boxing Day (the day after Christmas! That's cool! Love that term! Boxing Day Boxing Day Boxing Day Boxing Day)

So I have not written in a while, but I have been doing some serious investigating. I think the police are helping Mrs. Grey with her crimes! After the funeral, the cops came and put me under house arrest! They said it was because of my fun rally, but why would they arrest me for that? So after two weeks away from Worthington Manor,I returned. Oddly, Ms. Red was very sick. Mr. Worthington said it was "Something in the blood" . Christmas dinner was nice, even if it was on Boxing Day Boxing Day Boxing Day Boxing Day. Mr. Worthington made the fruitcake in his locked room with steel walls. He came out with a huge fruitcake shaped like a woman! It kind of reminded me of one of the servants, Old Lady Bloof (who, by the way, is gone...Mr. Worthington said she went home to Ulthar). At the dessert table, nobody touched it, weirdly. Lucky for me! I ate the entire thing! It had sort of an odd taste, but it was gooooooooooood. Then, Mr. Worthington said he was going to sharpen the ax he got from his friend, who was in jail 16 times.

What an interesting man.

Day Eight

This morning, I went to check up on Ms. Red, but in her room, there was only blood on the floor, shattered glass from the window, and a note that said: "Leave while you can, lest he chooses you". Now of course that made no sense, since she said him.

Nowadays I'm keeping an eye on the pet black widow spider, Mr. Wocklecheeks. I once woke in the middle of the night, and he was on my face! For some reason, Mr. Worthington happened to be looking into my room through the air vent, so he crashed through on top of me, grabbed the spider, and ran off to the steel locked room. Later, we all went horseback riding in the sprawling plagued city. When I asked what he thought happened to Ms. Red, he said "This is what I think happened!" He promptly unsheathed his sword, cut off my horse's head, and ate it raw in front of everyone, spattering blood onto the grey ground. Then, he said "I think I know who the killer is!" He lifted up his sword, laughing, swung it down and...fell asleep cause of all the horse he ate.

What a sweet man!
