<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/zb3TLSh.jpg)</div>Vi mentally grimaced as she saw Anais, her teeth stained with dark blood, sightless eyes staring into the void.  But this was not her first bullfight, she had seen the horrific consequences of spycraft and statecraft alike.  Her eyes flitted from clue to clue, mentally taking stock of everything there, like she was casing a joint to burgle later.  She made note of the table, the dress, the rope, and especially the ash and vomit.  She made note of what room it was, and of the big wooden doors.<br/><br/>"What ever it was that you got yourself into, Casi, it certainly was serious."  She said to herself as she looked around.  It was made to look like she was raped, but that was probably an afterthought or an occlusion of their true purpose, whoever they were.  "You're going to have to get yourself in there" She thought "and that won't happen like this." She looked down as her now totally exposed body and grimaced.  Getting here before anyone could mess with the body was important, but getting in... Vi pulled back behind a door to think for a second. That Samaritan woman... She knew Casimiro.  She could probably talk her way into there, being learned and all.  All Vi had to do was get to her without being seen and explain what happened.<br/><br/>Vi peeked out to see the captain order the doors closed, and paused.  She would have to get out, and get out now.  Vi leaped to the side to get out of direct view from the other room, landing on her hands and swinging both legs over.  Her momentum kept her going into a cartwheel like the dancers of the Atabean Sea's<em>Jogo de Dentro</em>then up and over to a back handspring and a backflip.  Landing like a cat, she turned and quickly opened the window.  She heard the doors creak and she dove forward in one of her signature moves,<em>Immersione delle tessere</em>, the dive of the tiles.  She dove out the window head-first, tucking at the last minute and rolling over the sun-baked tiles, rather than bruseing flesh and breaking bones.<br/><br/>Coming up to her feet in an instant, she ran briskly around the corner from the window and paused.  The courtyard was not far from where she was, and Vi needed to get there soon, lest Natia go somewhere else leaving Viviana.  Vi was not someone who embarrassed easily, infact she loved the feeling of eyes on her skin.  Her poor friend, however, would probably not appreciate her current attire.  However, there was a murder, and their friend was missing, so haste was most important.<br/><br/>Vi walked out brazenly, more care-free than anyone else at the manor felt right now, with the fear and shock of what had just happened.  Vi felt the warm sun on her skin, the cool sea air with it's tinges of salt and brine making her tiny nipples harden, and the radiating warmth of the tiles.  "Just think" she thought to herself "all this was just outside everyone's reach, and many will never enjoy it".  The sensual pleasure of nudity only distracted her for a moment, as she saw Natia talking to a guard.<br/><br/>Vi walked up behind Natia, much to surprise of the guard and grabbed her hand to turn her around.  "I need your help" Vi said to Natia, pulling her away from the guard.  "I saw Anais, where she was killed."  She looked from Natia to the guard, then back to her "If Casimiro is going to be safe, we need to figure out who did this.  Inspect the body, look for clues."  Vi Looked down at herself then back up to Natia.  "I... I need you to talk to the guards to let us check it out.  Say you have a doctor or something to check out the body... anything to let us figure out who did this." Viviana looked at the other woman desperately for the first time. "Please, will you help me?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Approach</div><div class="spoiler_body">Fitness+Perform, 8 dice  8, 8, 8, 9, 5, 8, 5, 4,=4 successes.  Spend one success to not be seen. one success to jump out the window. one success to entrance the guard she was talking to and make him want to help us?
