"That almost sounds sensible, coming from you. Now isn't the time for that, however," Bertram said, trying to take charge of the situation. "First I need to announce this to the others. Archer, gather everyone in the living room. I may... need a little time first, however."
"Father..." Lucine muttered, walking into the room. It's clear she doesn't actually know what to do in a situation like this, though. She just stands there and alternates between staring at her father and her grandmother.

“Gloooooriiiaaaaa! Glooooriiiaaaaa! Whyyyyyyy?”
It seemed Uncle Billy was still not taking things well and had taken to running about the house in a frenzy, screaming like a maniac.
This went on for a long time until they heard a series of thumps and all was suddenly silent.

"Dammit... Auntie Gloria... Look like we'll never get to play her favorite song..." the musician said as he tried to wipe his tears away with a sleeve of his shirt. No matter how much much he tried, the tears kept pouring regardless of his attempts to wipe them away.

The voices and questions continued to whirl around Zachary, but one managed to get through to him thanks to the sweet smell he noticed.
Pierre wrote:
Basil forced the doughnut into Zach's hand. "You might be in shock brother. Take a bite to eat. I'm sure you'll be fine." He handed the wet towel over to Robin and stepped aside to let her tend to his husband before standing beside Bertram and turning in Archer "Yeah, is mum ok? What's going on here?" He asked, nerves apparent in his voice.
"H-How long has that been there . . . ?" Zachary asked, still delirious. He managed to bring the doughnut up to his mouth, open his mouth, and take a small bite from it. After he swallowed, he felt a tiny bit of life return to his form. He sat there, silently munching on the doughnut for the next couple minutes.
After the discovery . . .
Zach sighed, apparently feeling much better after finishing the sugary treat. He took a look around the room and noticed many of the people had left.
"Wait, where did everybody g-oooooooooooooh . . . oh no." Zachary interrupted himself as realization dawned on him. He felt downright icy, but at least now he was lucid enough to speak coherently. "The others went to check on Mama, didn't they? I don't want to believe it's true, but I'd also never expect someone like Archer to lie about something that . . . serious.
"Mama's . . . gone . . . off to the Golden Land." Zachary spoke to nobody in particular. He sighed, still a bit too weak to show much emotion at the moment. Thank goodness he hasn't seen her actual body yet.
Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day.

She then walks up to Basil and puts her hand on his back in an effort to console him. "I'm so sorry dear..."

"I know, honey," she choked out. "I know."
She pulled him into a hug, clinging to him as tightly as she could.
Thunder boomed outside and rattled the windows. Robin didn't react.

“You has to remind her about her shrub, didn’t you?!” ‘Mickey’ cried out at Bertram. “Poor heart couldn’t take that betrayal again...”
Upon hearing these remarks, he spun. Moving past the chair, Basil stepped in front of Mickey and pushed him towards the door "Mickey! You really think now is the time to start pointing fingers and making absurd jokes like that?! Does this REALLY look like the time or place?" He spat, livid with his upstart nephew. Sighing, he felt the tension run out of him and he turned and allowed himself to sit on the bed.
"It was...it was probably just natural causes. Mum was an old bird after all. We should...we should call an Ambulance or the Police or someone..." he muttered to himself.

Archer and Bertrand round everyone up and gather them into the living room downstairs. The various couches and chairs throughout the room can only just barely fit everyone.
The tense and morose mood continues on. It seems that, for all the family drama, Gloria's death leaves them all feeling emptier than before.
Billy, Vincent, James, Violet, Asher, Lucine, Mickey, Zachary, Robin, Twilip, Maurice, Wyn, Basil, Jacqueline, Bertram, Archer, Briggs, and Allister are all piled in.
Everyone has heard the news at this point.

He comes back too soon after. "My apologies, Master Bertram, but it seems as if there is no tone. Perhaps the storm has damaged the line. I will look to see if there is anything we can do in the meantime"

"We... need to talk about some things," she said, choosing her words carefully. "How we will pay our respects, and, um." She looked around the room. Her eyes lingered on Basil and Bertram. "If someone who - who saw her could--" she swallowed "--could tell us how she... how she died, that would..." Robin took a shuddering breath and stopped there.

Vincent pulls out a wallet from his back pocket before he opened it and pulls out a photo out of the wallet. Then he stares at the photo in his hand. If anyone were to look at the photo in Vincent's hand, they'd see that the photo shows Vincent with a woman, two teenager girls and a boy. This must be his family.

“If witches did this, then Meemah won’t be able the only person to die tonight.” He ominously proclaimed.

"W- ... Witches." It was a question, but there was no inflection to her voice.

She peers through her fingers in front of her, but doesn't appear to be looking at anything particular. "It could be a day or more before anyone could get here depending on how this storms lasts, so someone should..." Twilip slumps further down and simply resumes her crying, unwilling to continue her sentence.

Lucine seems to actually consider that for a minute, before answering with the only flaw she could find in her brother's reasoning. "If real witches wanted all of us dead, they could have killed us already."

This was easier said than done, though. Bertram's expression was grim, perhaps because he was trying not to cry.

“Ugh give it up with those stupid ideas, Mickey. You’ll only upset people.” Basil said with a protective arm wrapped around Wyn. “Bertram has it right, mum was old, it wasn’t just her time. I just wish her last supper had been...” Basil swallowed hard unhappy that her past dinner had been fraught with distrust.
“In any case, if the phones are out we’ll just need to...call in the morning or something like that.” He looked down over the rest of his family “We should...we should just go to bed and...try and sleep. We can’t do anything else just now.” He said clinging to Wyn.

Maurice stepped over to Mickey, looking at the letter to see its contents. Upon examining it, he looked away in disdain. "...Are we proclaiming witches are real now? Really?" He shook his head, walking back to where he was before. "Mother was... quite aged, to say the least. Her passing is quite sudden, as we can all agree, but I find it ridiculous to accuse "witches" of all things for this. So are these magical creatures just hiding someplace in this manor? Preposterous." He scoffed.

“Geez, this such let-down,” Billy mumbled, “Of all rich families to be part of, it turns out to be one with evil witch enemies. And now phone line broke too. I hope Auntie Frank be okay without me.”
“Seems like party pretty much over too,” he sighed, putting his head in his hands. “Might need to go back home tomorrow morning...Not sure if welcome here anymore.”

Archer adjusts his tie and nods at Basil. "Once the storm passes, I am confident that we will be able to call for some authority. For now, I believe we should keep Milady Gloria's room locked..."
"If any one of you decide to return to your rooms, please do not hesitate to call for one of us servants to care for you."

"That's fine, darling. I think we all deserve some rest, it's been quite a heavy day." Wyn says with a reassuring smile. "Yes, in the morning let's call the mainland, eat a delicious breakfast on some of those fancy porcelain dishes I've seen lying around, and just take it easy."

James rattles another drawer open.
Inside is a copy of Gloria's will in a sealed Manila envelope. Bingo.

"The body." Twilip peers up from her slumped state. "S-someone should move, oh god" Her voice trails off before she takes a breath and tries to sit up straight. "Someone should move mother's body..." She looks down as if ashamed of what she just said. "We don't know how long this storm will last so it's probably for the best if mother if moved somewhere she won't..."

"However, I would not refuse an order from the new head of the family..." Archer says, shooting a glance at Bertram.

Archer's new title for him spurred him into weary action. As family head, it was his duty to take care of everyone now, or so he believed at least. "How are you all holding up? Lucine, I'm proud of you, you know. It can't be easy for you right now, but you are handling this situation well. As befitting of my heir."

"I'm... I'm okay. I am well. Thank you, father." Lucine answered, not even looking up from her cup. "Grandmother wouldn't want us unhappy. She's in the golden land now, I don't have to be sad..."
"... Mr. Archer, would you please serve me more tea?"

"Of course, Milady." Archer, picking up the teapot and approaches Lucine's glass. As he delicately pours, those with good ears would hear a faint "clink," the sound of something hitting the plate.
Archer then smiles. "Would you like some cream and sugar?" He asks, despite probably already knowing the answer after years of service.

Lucine quickly pocketed what landed on her plate, but anyone paying attention could have seen what it was: a small candy. "... Thank you, Mr. Archer. This is enough."
"Of course, Milady. If you need anything else, you need only to ask."
Archer steps aside and stands near the wall, watching over the rest of the room.

"...Sir Archer, this may not be the best time to ask, but now that Miss Gloria is deceased, who will handle our pay..?" Briggs whispered to Archer.
"Such concerns like that should be taken up with the head of the Moonview family." Archer replies, without even turning to face Briggs.
"You might be in some trouble. I doubt the new Head has any interest in keeping around lackluster servants..." Archer lets out a soft chuckle.
