((Oh~ Thanks! I went there but all I saw was arguing...and Teddy wasn't dead yet. And I was like...WTF? XD))

*Arielle just sat there, waiting for Irene to answer her and looking absolutely and pathetically heartbroken.*

*floats invisibly behind Arielle, wondering how his heart could be aching for the woman whom he had loved and lost in so short a time, when he no longer had a heart. At least, that was the theory. Reality was proving much bumpier terrain.* I'll never leave you...never again... *Bending, he tried to brush his lips across her cheek but only found himself falling further into her, and he felt--felt as only a ghost could really "feel" anything, more a knowledge of the sensation than any physical jolt--that he was melting into the warmth of her living, breathing self, like a snowflake that had just landed on her smooth skin.*
((Realized must change icon/picture caption/signature. Caption itself seems most inappropriate. Maybe he will re-incarnate someday. Who knows? Maybe he'll always be a ghost in the same sense that Erik is a "ghost" to Blueflamewolf, taking on all aspects of a living person, and only calling himself a ghost and having an extraordinary memory of events long past.))

"Well, I have several suspects, but I'm a little fuzzy on what the motive could have been. Would you excuse me for a moment?"
I nudged Theodore's ghost over to the side.
"Alright, I take it she wasn't the killer. But please refrain from the hardcore sex scenes while I'm present."
I turned back to her.
"Sorry about that. But you might as well know, Raoul is a suspect. It would help if you paid attention to what he said to you, and let me know if it's anything incriminating."

"Begging your pardon, but it's not like I can DO anything to help..." *muttered Teddy, floating away and sitting down on a hunk of nothing a good foot off the edge of the roof and staring sullenly at Arielle.*

*Arielle jumped slightly as she felt something touch her skin softly, then looked back at Irene* Raoul is a suspect? *Her dark eyes widened* He hasn't said anything, but I'll make sure to tell you if he does. Thank you. *She looked over her shoulder for a moment, frowning slightly.* Do you feel like we're being watched?

*shakes his head wildly at Irene, making throat-cutting gestures.* If she finds out I'm here and justice has not yet been served, I'll get sucked into the void and be prodded towards the white light with a metaphysical spear!

"Um- not particularly."
I took Arielle's hand sympathetically. Although I had never been loved the way she had, I was still touched.
"I realize how horrible this all must be for you. But we need to find the answers. And you'll be the first to know if I find anything out."

*Arielle nodded* Thank you so much.

Being the only one here who knows the true killer sucks. *Teddy sulked and wished for a piano. A piano a ghost could play, at that.*

You're so kind to investigate this, Irene. How can I repay you? *Arielle's voice was quiet, as it had been ever since Raoul had told her the horrible news.* I wish I could jump off the roof and end this, though. But not only would that kill the baby, it would scar Irene for life. So if I ever get over this, I'll have to thank her for saving my life. I mean, teh edge is just a little ways away... *She managed a tiny, polite smile towards Irene, forcing her thoughts away.*

I knew that I needed to question Raoul further once he signs on again. I was slowly peicing it all together, and since my discovery that Georgiana and Jo were one and the same, I was feeling increasingly paranoid. And watching an emo ghost try to bang his wife wasn't helping things.
"I have to go now" I said.

Oh- goodbye, then...*Arielle watched Irene go. After sitting alone in silence for a minute, she walked over to the edge of the roof, gazing at the dizzying drop that so many others had jumped towards. All it took was one more step...she'd convinced herself not to do it, but what if she did? Her child wouldn't have to grow up fatherless, and she wouldn't have to feel so horribly heartbroken. She just needed to take one more step, but her feet wouldn't move. She whirled around and ran back to the safer part of the roof, collapsing onto the ground and clutching her cloak tightly around her thin shoulders as she buried her face in her hands. She couldn't do it after all.* Oh, Teddy, I miss you so much...

*watches in agony as Arielle considers, then rejects suicide.* I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! *He wanted to scream aloud at the wretched star-spattered sky, but what good would it do him, or anyone? He went to Arielle and sat beside her, tried to take her in his arms, but it was no use. He wanted to weep, but found he could not.*
