It's a funny thing, magic. The world of humanity isn't exactly built for it-- quite the contrary, it assumes as a basic premise the very opposite: that up is down, that water flows downhill unless you work damn hard to do otherwise, that the sun will rise in the east every morning.
With magic, things aren't always so cut-and-dry. Among the Others, the rules of humanity have little sense and less force. Fire might heal as easily as it injures. In the depths of the ocean, a little girl opens her mouth wide and swallows a shark whole. The sun never moves from its place in the sky in a tiny glade in Ireland.
And in a luxurious room in Chicago, a dead man helps solve his own murder.

Requirements
-Remember the zombie faction? They're about to become extremely relevant. See, you're about to turn Dorian into one! He should be an interesting resource for his murder investigation, no?
-His reaction to being raised, as well as the information you get from him, will be mostly left to your discretion with a few caveats. They are:
1. Memory loss is often a side effect of resurrection. Dorian will not remember any description of his assailant.
2. Dragon corpses are far more difficult to raise than human corpses. As such, the spell animating him will only last for ten minutes before wearing off.
3. There is, of course, no guarantee Dorian will be in the mood to share information. Or stay calm. Or accept his temporary state of undeath as an acceptable measure by the investigation.
Deaths: 3 ballot kills. 5 tributes will be going up for votes this round.
Due Date: Friday, May 18 at 10 PM EST.
The Clue: The killer is not of hellish intent.
