Just Another Day In A Life

Acrra

It's perhaps nothing better than to begin the day with some nice talk with Hollis over Sleepless — He described her seeming to act like as if she's a "big sister" — perhaps a rude one and might actually care about him in the end, and seems to be getting pretty well along with her despite coming off as a jerk at times, but then, it's probably best to keep that to let that go for a bit, especially this early.
He also gave Gavurke a bit more of depth to him — he described him as a "best friend", perhaps one of many friends he had before he left for the wealthier areas of Majuminister, "I thought he was nice, but I wish that I told him I was running away from where I used to live, though."

"Hello, Hollis!" Sleepless, now in a darker and more purple-y dress and similar witch hat from last time, although the colors are slightly altered to go along with the dress, slams the inn door open, causing Samuel to say "Ah, yes, welcome, now please don't do that again!" Fletcher is also with her, almost unchanged except that he is wearing a keffiyeh, which might or not last too very long.
 Both Sleepless and Fletcher decided to go over to the table and sat down in the empty seats, "So, what have you two been up to?" Sleepless says, "Also, where's Iaret?"

"I think she's probably gone her own way and might be at her parents, and I don't think she would be coming back soon." Hollis says.

"Aw, that's a shame, I think we went along quite well." Fletcher responds to Hollis' answer, "But considering what she's been through, it's best to let her be for now."

Sleepless then gets up, "Hold on, I'll be right back, I'm going to go ask the innkeeper." She then went to the counter, asking Samuel about the rooms — She's surprised to find out that the rooms were reserved for them for a week, and then she asked him about Mellanby.

"Terrific." Samuel says, "I read the news the other day and one of the articles I read was about a murder, and it was the second one this week — They said that they still haven't found the murderer, but all I know that they gained the nickname Acrra's Lonely Heart."

"I'd prefer to call that killer Mellanby, but that sounds a bit more elaborate." Sleepless comments, "But do you think Acrra's Lonely Heart has posted any lonely heart advertisements in the newspaper?"

"I think that's what they did, guessing from the name. It's been happening so much here that the parliament is considering banning those kinds of dating advertisements."

"Sounds like an easy way to get yourself killed and begin a case that will never be resolved," She paused, "...or your money stolen, has this happened outside of those advertisements?"

"Oh yes, there was a corpse out there a couple days ago," Samuel points to the window, "Everybody agreed that it was Acrra's another murder."

"You don't sound too horrified about it, are you sure that actually happened out there?"

"Oh yes, it did. It happens almost every day, and it's what newspapers like to report, If Acrra's got someone dead and had the body lying somewhere out in the open, expect that to be on the front page any time."

"Got used to that, huh. Anyways, thank you for the information."

Sleepless then goes back to the table and sat down, "There's no more Mellanby, guys, Instead, there's this Acrra."

"Acrra?" Fletcher said in a rather surprised tone, "Uraeus never said about them."

"I noticed, but I think they might tie right into what are we investigating." Sleepless paused for a moment, "Also, are you satisfied with your job with Uraeus?"

"What?"

"Simple question, are you happy with what you're doing for Uraeus?"

"Not really," Fletcher admits, albeit with looking like as if he's really guilty about it, "He's been acting quite unusual recently, and I think that he sent me here may had something to do with it."
