Death, it is a cruel and interesting entity. But yet someone is taking the lives of civilians and is pinning the blame on others. It seems that several weapons have gone missing from the society building. And the residents of the building seem to be the prime suspects for the four murders.
Dreamer jekyll sat in her room writing in her journal when she heard knocking. She turned and answered the door to see a man at her door. He lead her to a room where several others were gathered and were being questioned. She sat down and waited for an explanation. The Inspector was named Isaac Carew.

The inspector surveyed the motley crew before him, eyes finally resting on the woman in the royal blue and gold delivery uniform impatiently tapping her foot. She tore herself away from inspecting her well-worn fingernails long enough to meet his gaze and scowl. "I don't have anything to do with nothing, mate," she said, turning her attention back to her manicure, or lack of one. "You carry a few ticking packages through busy squares and suddenly the whole damn city thinks you're a criminal."

( In the corner of the room sits a man with a robot. He is dressed in a well kept lab coat- a stark contrast to his bronze companion. Despite the uncomfortable circumstances, his demeanor is calm and collected. He nods at the young lady and smiles before turning his attention to the waiting inspector, his voice a high tenor. )
'ello Inspector. Putting aside the embarrassing fact that you accuse me of murder, I would like to offer my condolences to the families. Dreadful business this is.

If everyone's quite done with being vague and mysterious I'd like to leave. I've never seen anything like the objects you described and I've likely thrown more than my fair share of murder weapons into the Thames, so you can probably thank my righteous stand against future employment for your miserable lives. Also, the name's Pace Lender, so as you can imagine my initials are not HH but rather FU, though Rat King knows why you think a serial killer is going to carve their real initials into their weapons.

(Ha ha, nbd man, happens to all of us) Pace threw her hands up in surrender. "Woah! Woah, alright, not doing that. No knives in anyone, got it." After she sees that Dreamer has calmed down just a bit, she lowers her arms. "Then there are two options; one, I get into a fight with one of these jokers," she gestured to the small crowd chained to the radiator, "I 'accidentally' break the window trying to defend myself, and the knife gets tossed over however many buildings I can muster. Or two, and this one's a bit trickier, we stick it into my corset." She raps on her waist to indicate its location. "Not ideal, because I'll have to be really careful sitting down, but it means that I could smuggle it out of here and into the Thames, and not just ten meters away from the Society."

Although, I have to tell you Angel, I'm not sure all of you hiring assistants from a family that's obviously predisposed to violent tendencies is the best business decision." She turned to face the bedraggled and furious chained gang. "Oi, you lot! We're tryin' to cover up a murder, a venture I'm sure all of you approve of, but more importantly," she grabbed one of the more lightweight chairs and hefted it up, settling naturally into a combat stance. "Who wants to fight me?"

Well, to be truthful, I was. You see, that also happened to be opening night at Her Majesty's Opera House. Madame La Déchante was making her debut as their new Prima Donna in their production of La Traviata. Of course, I am a doctor so I must expect to be called away at any moment. That night, during the second act, they sent for me to come at once. (Hen pulls a folder out of the drawer. A hint of guilt and pain flash into his eyes before he smiles apologetically. He opens the file to reveal an autopsy report from that night. At the bottom is his signature. ) Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do. They had sustained blunt force trauma and multiple lacerations, and from those they had died before I arrived. The details of the wounds and manner of death are in the report I filed as well as statements from the constable and witnesses. I do believe your department already has a copy, but I can give you this one as well. ( Hen pauses and takes a grave sip of his tea. ) It is a heavy duty to examine the deceased. This victim was attacked decisively and with force. In my opinion, whoever had done this had a motive in mind.

Quite, but I'm sure it's nothing personal. *Catt says quietly. She seems uncharacteristically somber.* Just a few misplaced items that happened to be found in just the wrong place.

*Helen frowned, rubbing the back of her neck.* I should hope not... *She lowered her voice as well, leaning in closer.* I'm a bit nervous myself. I overheard some of the pieces of evidence are weapons with the initials "H.H." carved into them...

Oh. *Catt said, this was news to her. Depending on how much the inspector knew about the goings on inside the Society, it could easily pose a serious threat to her friend.* That could be a problem.

Yes... but fortunetly, I don't think the inspector really knows about the real relationship between Jekylls and Hydes... *She straightens up, wondering briefly if the weapons could have belonged to anyone else.*

Well, as far as the rest of the world knows, it's impossible to be in two places at once. If the crime happened less than a week ago, a little time-hop to get seen somewhere else at the time of the murder(s) and we've got an alibi.

(Probably. But her ability to recognise a lie isn't a 'this specific muscle twitch is a universal sign of lying' sort of thing. It's more like a vague sense, like if you could feel a haze in someone's speech. Imagine if sound could be blurry. Sometimes she second-guesses herself and ends up making the wrong choice. It's not a super-power after all.)

(Hela would play until she wins or gets so frustrated she pulls out a knife... She'd want to see if she could lie to Catt and that would be a good way for her to practice too... What about half truths? I'm guessing if it's only part of the truth, the words wouldn't be hazy? As for poker, there isn't really any lying in it, more bluffing. You have to be able to read facial expressions and control your own.)
(Also, Helen could really use a bit of comfort at 'Ello! She had been trying to do a favor for a poor boy and now she's nearly in tears...)

(I wonder if Catt could learn knife work from Hela? Hmm, it's not a mystical ability. Just being able to tell when something is off with the subtle ways they talk if she's known them more than a day. It just feels like the sound is blurry. She can recognise a half-truth, but those are often the cases when she second guesses herself and gets it wrong.)
(So sorry about being late to that party! Probably best for the kid that Catt wasn't there, though.)

(She could probably learn if she managed to convince Hela to do such a thing. It would be good for Catt to get lessons because not only would it improve her self defense but she'd also get a feel for Hela's fighting style, should they ever get into a brawl. So Hela would only be able to lie for a day... Hmm... After that, would it be possible for her to practice speaking a lie the exact same way she would the truth and fool Catt?)
(Oh, why is that?)

(The question then becomes, how do we make that happen? How would the subject of knife wielding or lessons come up? See, Catt's already known the person that is Helen, and Hela is the "worst parts" of Helen. Them being quazi-the same person, she'd know when Hela lied, or she'd figure it out faster than with other people.
She could try, even odds on it working though. And then there's author-ex-machina to consider, I do try to avoid using it to such unfair advantages though.)
(She doesn't take too kindly to people picking on her friends. The hypothermia held her back with Lady Jekyll.)

(Hmmm... A motivation for her to not only interact with Catt for a prolonged period of time but actually help another human being... That's quite a puzzle. Well, if Helen's plan works, Hela is going to be caged in her room from the second she appears. Catt could agree to release her in exchange for lessons and threaten her with being contained again if she tries anything funny. Another approach could perhaps have Catt help Hela with an alibi for all her crimes, which would keep her out of trouble for the most part. Or perhaps a trade: Catt brings Hela an unusual plant, Hela gives her one lesson. She's quite drawn to the more bizarre and deadly autotrophs in nature like buttercups and the Cephalotus follicularis. I'm not sure how the subject would come up in the first place... Perhaps she could ask about Hela's skill with a knife out of curiousity or have a close call with a near death experience due to her lack of fighting ability. Maybe Hela could make a comment on how terrible Catt is at defending herself and that could start a whole argument ending with Hela's knife to Catt's throat and later, a request for lessons. As for lying, she would keep trying until she managed to fool Catt but I think that would just make it easier for Catt to tell. XD)
(Oh, so she would have been cross with Pace and Sam?)

(I think Catt would be very hesitant to release Hela, considering how much work Helen put in to keep her caged. The alibi idea works if the crime was committed up to a week prior, and then Hela would need to spend the time again in order to get back. I don't think Catt would know enough about plants to pull off that other trade. I like the idea of a comment about poor self defence, Catt would say something like "Oh, and you could do better?" as a comeback. Ooh, that would be a good motivation alright. And at dramatically tense scene! I like it! XD Yeah, Catt might not call her out on every lie, but she could recognise them.)
(Very.)

(XD Yeah, and depending on her mood, Hela would either use a single move to take Catt down, telling her she would have been dead before she could blink if Hela wanted her to be or Hela would draw it out and give her cuts and bruises until she gave up... Hela's motivation could be it gives her something to do in her otherwise boring solitude and she doesn't have many chances to beat people up inside of her cage.)
(What sort of cross? Yelling or the silent glare? Or something different?)

(I'm thinking Catt would be regretting the comeback as soon as it left her mouth, even before Hela struck! XD Her comebacks tend to lead to her losing a fight that only lasted the hit from her opponent.
Cuts and bruises until she gave up what? That's dark, course so was the nightmare I wrote... :\
Boredom is a strong motivation.)
(If Catt's rage button gets pressed to quick, it tends to be a physical reaction. She'd blink and realise that she punched someone, feel bad but she's too far in to back out now. Honestly the experience sucks.)

Helen Jekyll  Catt Hatter • 3 years ago
(That's what tends to happen in those sort of situations. XD Poor Catt! Well, this is Hela we're talking about, the same girl who opened her own fake hospital to slowly torture patients to death. The only thing that would keep her from doing the same is Catt would be one of the few people who visit her and give her some sort of entertainment and the other is that Helen would react very very badly. As for my side of things... I try to see all possible scenarios, and in Hela's case, choose some of the worst ones I come up with. The nightmare you wrote was really good, it practically have me chills!)
(Oh, really? That's sounds pretty bad... *gasps* Catt has to do that to Hela at some point! Get so mad that she punches her! Hela wouldn't expect such a violent move from her and be hit but instead of exploring with fury as Catt would probably expect, she'd just grin and chuckle and congratulate Catt on taking her first step towards becoming a monster like her... That is, if you're okay with that. [got a bit carried away there! XDX])

(*hums self satisfactorily* I pulled Catt from an alternate version of my own life, where one specific event went a lot worse. A car crash when she was little, when I was little. I thought 'how would my life be different if the accident hadn't been so benign? My sister wouldn't exist, mom wouldn't have handled single parenthood well. This sounds like an origin story, I'll use it!' So I did. :) The shovel thing, is a vestige of how she (nearly?) died. I pulled her from that world into the realm of my stories so she could have something better, and I could have fun too.
That went on long and serious, didn't it? Sorry! DX)

You make sure Constable Stupid o'er there doesn' catch on.

Within minutes, she hacks the chains off and starts for the door before she pauses, looking back at the various other Hydes. Each of them spouses and incarnations, wives and brothers, each important to someone. All connected to her by a surname. A man. The love of her life. She curses her conscience under her breath.)
