Vidarr woke slowly, blinking his eyes open as he blearily looked around him.
'Odd.' He thought to himself. This wasn't his room.
He lifted his head with a quiet groan and took in his surroundings. Oh, it was Orias's room. Why was he in here? What had happened yesterday?
"Brother?" He mumbled.
Seeing Orias on the other side of the bed, he grunted and slowly shuffled towards him, bunching himself against the older Tundra's side. He was safe there. He was, admittedly, a little scared. He had no clue what had happened yesterday, or how he had ended up in his brothers bed and not his own. He hated not knowing; it made him feel anxious.
He could faintly hear the sound of others talking, but his head was too full of worry to figure out what was being said.

Vars woke up early this time. He found the body and was looking at it with the other dragons. "Another one dead.." Vars thought to himself. This was getting a bit more serious now, but Vars still didn't care that much. He felt bad for the other dragons, but maybe it would still stop if he just ignored it all.
The demon heard Vayle growl at him, he stared back at him, before looking back at the body. He dusted some snow off the body, to get a better look, but it didn't help much. It looked like Flasha was impaled and then shot in the back two times. Vars wasn't sure about the impaled part, but it looked like it. The demon tried his best to think of who could've done it but he really had no idea. Still, he had to vote for someone.
Vars votes for Vidarr

Visia found herself waking up in her nest, without her usual drive and enthusiasm to start the day. And yet, she pushed herself out of the warmth of the nest, put on her goggles and left her den. Leaping up, she kept closer to the clan than usual - not because of the fog, fog had never stopped her, thank you very much - but because her reason to fly around wasn't to be fast or try a new move, no: She was looking around to see if anyone else was... dead.
Melinoe was dead.
And Visia was determined to find her killer and rip them apart.
First movement that she saw was someone running towards Vayle's den. Was she about to witness a murder? She slowed down, and quietly flew closer to the roof of the den. It was quiet. She was ready to burst in - maybe catch the killer red handed - only to see an unnaturally big snow pile in the distance. As she heard some lovey-dovey conversation from the den below her, she decided that the mage wasn't in danger. Instead, it was Gemini, the other magic guy, visiting his mate. So, hoping that they hadn't noticed her, she made her way towards the snow pile, where Gemini had came from.
"Yikes."
One could call her reaction insentisive, but she couldn't bring herself to care about the now-fallen leader, not after her words yesterday. She wouldn't say that Flasha deserved this, but she also wasn't that bothered by the turn of events. "So... Gemini?" she said, talking to herself as she investigated the scene. The only footprints belonged to Gemini, and she was ready to go and beat the mage up - probably both of them, if Gemini was the culprit, Vayle was probably involved too.
As much as she wanted to just go and fight the duo, Visia knew that the two of them would easily overpower her. She needed evidence to convince the rest of the clan, and to cast them out. So, she started to look around. The snow covering Flasha's body looked naturally fallen - so Gemini wasn't trying to bury the body in the snow, it was already like that when he came there. Cursing, she cleaned the snow off of her, and saw the red snow underneath her. The bleeding had stopped long ago, and her body was very, very frozen. "Shadowy hells." she muttered, it wasn't an open-shut case as she hoped it would be.
She almost wanted it to be Gemini. She wanted to know who was behind all this, and to kick their butt for daring to hurt her sister. A las, she had to wait until she found the actual culprit. Her eyes caught some movement from Vayle's den - the mage coming out to check what was up from the distance. Still upset that it wasn't him - or his mate, she didn't talk, returning her attention to the body.
"What in the goop is this...?" she muttered, grabbing one of the shards from Flasha's back - and cutting her hand in the process. "Flipping..." she grabbed some snow, crushing it in her hands to stop herself from bleeding. When she looked up again, she jumped, seeing Vars appear so suddenly. "Harpy's bum!" she cursed in surprize, watching as the demon poke around with the body. She wasn't one to stop him, not when it was her body anyway.
"What do you think?" She asked to the demon, keeping a neutral tone. "I think we need a new leader." Honestly, she could see herself as the leader. The older dragons would advise against talking after the dead, but she didn't really care - She'd be a better leader than Flasha. - She'd make sure that everyone would drop everything that they were doing, and focus on finding who the shroom was killing them. Then, after that, maybe send someone to find and bring back Morrison, as Flasha's death proved him innocent.

"Well that sucks."
Glacier propped himself on his two back legs, looking at the body. He stepped around it carefully, trying not to step into any blood. He prodded the body once or twice with his pointy tail, then wiped the gore off in snow. The killer was bold enough to kill the leader? Wierd, frankly.
"Man, this really REALLY sucks", He spoke to the parrot perched on his wings. "We're all done for, aren't we?"
Glacier wanted to spend his last days having fun, but nothing really came to mind as for pranks. He focused on "investigating" the murder for now, hoping he'll come up with something. He scanned the area for a bit more, and gathered all the projectiles Flasha had been slain with in one place.
"I'm surprised she was found so quickly. How did you know where to look, Visia? Do you have any suspects? Because I have no idea who'd do this."

Feeling a chill on her back, Visia turned around and greeted the local many-eyed-snow-god-ish-dragon with a nod. She let him examine the body as well, waiting for the rest of the clan to gather. She raised an eyebrow at his first question - was he suspecting her? He'd better not - Frowning as she heard his follow-up questions.
"I do fly around the clan every day, don't I, Glacier?" she asked, not seeing the point in mentioning Gemini's visit to the body. "Right now? Not really." she said, waiting for the rest of the clan to wake up and hopefully notice them. "But I will get to the bottom of this, y'hear?"

"Oh my! What a determined detective you are! I'd gladly help you..."
He picked up one of the projectiles, inspecting it closely, one paw on his chin.
"...If I had any idea either."
He lowered himself back on all fours, and came closer to the body, explaining everything he could about the crime scene to his parrot, who didn't seem to particularly care. Once he was done explaining it all to the bird, he rose up on his hind legs again and turned back to Visia.
"Realistically, how long do you think until everyone... dies? I don't feel optimistic about catching this sicko."

She watched as the spiral did his thing, saying "Careful with those!" as he grabbed a projectile, the one that she had dropped earlier. "We're not going to die, Glacier." she hissed, refusing to even think about the possibility. "If you don't believe that we'll catch the snootlicker: leave. One less suspect for me to worry about. But I'm not going anywhere until I make them pay."
Even if she wanted to leave, where could she go anyway?

"I respect the optimism, really."
Glacier kept silent for a while, staring not at the body, but at the ground, frankly startled by Visia's hiss. And then, a fancy lighting flight lightbulb lit up in his head like a little flame. Glacier knew what to do! He turned to the nocturne.
"Hey.....! Maybe you're right!", he exclaimed, in a cheery voice contrasting the tone he used before.
"Maybe we can...raise our chances! By... joining forces..? To catch this dummy together!"
Glacier extended a (very shakeable) paw to Visia, waiting for an answer to the offer.
no pressure to accept that tho lmao i just think itd be neat fvgdhjkgkfhjds
glacier votes for vidarr but only mechanically

As much as Visia didn't trust him - or many in the clan, for that matter - she didn't see anything wrong with his expression of support. Offering her not-injured claw (after discreetly checking if he had an eye in his palm) she shook his paw. "Well, my plan is to organize the whole clan anyway. The more eyes the more..." she trailed off, looking at the eyes that covered the other's body. "...you see. Right?" Well, maybe more eyes belonging to more dragons would be more helpful. "Have you seen anything unusual?"

"Hmm.... I've been keeping away from the clan most of the time, my main suspect was really poor ol' Morrison. I'll keep an eye or twenty out for something suspicious, though."
His tine switched once again to a more serious one. Glacier scratched his chin, searching his surroundings for clanmates with his body-eyes. Nothing suspicious yet, really, as far as we can see.
"That organizing idea seems interesting. Can you explain it a bit more? Eye would gladly help with that!", Glacier said with a goofy grin, winking with all the eyes on his left side.
