After a few moments he joins the other butlers near the wall, to give the family space to mourn.

"...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.
"...Oh, my," Briggs sighed bringing a hand to his mouth. "You jest, Sir Archer, yet I intend to keep my source of income in check."
Briggs let out a small chuckle.
"Allister is on my side, no? Do you think I'm lackluster, boy?"

“... Rest in peace, Grandmother,” was all he could utter as he hung his head in solemn silence.

Billy slowly rose to his feet and headed for the door, pausing briefly to speak to Bertram.
"I'm glad you are one in charge of place, Barty," he said, "You doing good job of keeping place calm and looking after everyone. I know family will be safe tomorrow in your hands. Clearly you well-prepared to take on role.
"You too, Archie," he added, turning to the butler. "You must have cared about Gloria too, but you thinking only of family members now. Keep up good work."
Billy walked out of the room and disappeared...for approximately ten seconds, after which he popped his head back in.
"Does anyone actually know where bed is?" he asked.

"Um... I think your work ethic is lackluster." Allister answered. "Mister Archer has to scold you a lot for not doing your job."
"O-Oh, but you're good at your job when you actually do it!" He quickly added, trying to soften the blow.

"...A betrayal with the strength of a thousand lashes," Briggs said, a solemn look washed over his face. "Never mind that. I shall persevere. Regardless, there's no doubt that Miss Gloria's passing will have no effect on my wealth."
Briggs took out another cigarette to smoke, not particularly worried to do so as Miss Gloria wasn't here to tell him not to.

"Hey now," Briggs chuckled, patting Allister on the head. "A carefree guy like me is incapable of hate. All I can feel is disappointment. Some say that is perhaps worse, but who can say, really?"
He lit his cigarette, exhaling away from the child as if that would help.

Jacqueline decided to walk over to Bertram and do her best to comfort him, even if just a little. She knew he was keeping it all hidden, but still. She gently put a hand on his shoulder, rubbing it gently with a reassuring smile on her face. "I'm so very sorry, Bertie. I know this is terribly hard on you. But you can get through this, just as everyone can. I believe in you." She nodded, hoping she was helping.

The wandering man walked back in from the rain a little later, seemingly unbothered that he was soaking wet. He tracked water into the house as he approached Briggs and Allister. “Imma need a place to sleep.” He curtly asked. “And liquor.”
"...Oh dear," Briggs sighed, tapping his foot impatiently. "You may want to dry off first. You sullying the floors and creating more and more work for dear Sir Archer. As for the alcohol, I'd be delighted to grab a drink for you."
With a surprising lack of sarcasm, Briggs headed off to get some liquor for Mickey (notably without asking Mickey on what he wanted first).

"Thank you, Jackie," Bertram replied quietly, offering a small smile in return. "Truth be told, I was worried something like this might happen. I didn't want to say it while the others - especially James - were around, but before dinner today mother told me she'd decided to change the family finances. Something about how happy she was to see so much of her family together again. I think she might have known she was on the way out... I take some comfort in knowing that she did the best she could to settle her affairs first, and to leave after one last party with her family. She must have been happy. I just wish I could be happy too, like she would probably want."
He paused to collect himself. Jacqueline could probably feel him shaking slightly again. "Still, if I can't be happy right now, I can at least be strong. It's easier with you by my side. You and Lucine."

"This is, for the record, my favorite selection," Briggs said, clumsily handling the bottle over. "Please enjoy."
There was evidence that the bottle was 'used,' perhaps mid-delivery.

“Where exactly did Meemah find you?” He chuckled. “Is it that hard to find good help? Or were you sleeping with her on the side?” He smiled as he said that, lightly ribbing Briggs with his elbow.

"...Ahaha, you charmer, you," Briggs fake-laughed, doing the bit where he crushed a cigarette in his pocket out of irritation. "I was just a young, lost lad who needed help. Miss Gloria was so kind to take me in."
Briggs wiped off his suit where Mickey ribbed him. "...I've heard quite the stories of you back in the day. Indeed, you're a curious man. You are nothing like the rest of the family. Are you another man who found it easy to plunder this family for their worth..?"

His eyes then flitted down at Briggs’ next question. “No.” He simply said. “Nothing here was easy. Not for people who have a soul at least.”

[THEME MUSIC]
One by one, lights turn off in Moonview Manor. The rain outside turns into quiet white noise. Gradually, exhaustion fights and wins out against anxiety for some.
Many though, can't sleep. And some wouldn't sleep even if they could.
Some people glance outside their rooms when they hear strange noises, only to go back to sleep when nothing is there.
* * *
The mansion is uncomfortably cold. The hot summer air has been buffeted from the large house by the torrents of water coming from the sky.
Dull gray light peaks in through the windows. It's a day that makes everyone want to stay in bed, curled up in their blankets.
Footfalls can be heard on the stairs as a new day begins.

"Really hope we can get into contact with someone soon so we can have a proper burial for Grandmother..." he commented to himself. He decided to make his way to the kitchen to grab something quick to eat.

“First Diane, and now....” he cursed to himself and downed the whisky he had been nursing all night “No pull it together...this...this will be fine.” He glanced back at Wyn as she slept and nodded to himself “Just a little longer, for the family...”
Placing the glass down on the table, Basil headed into the en suite to grab a shower to wake himself up before Wyn woke.

"... Better than that storm last night, that's for sure. Hopefully... someone can make contact with the mainland today, so..." he trailed off, not wanting to talk about the uncomfortable memory of last night.
"A snack would be nice. Thank you, Archer."
Wow. For once, he didn't seem overly grumpy.

“Good morning, Sir Asher and Lady Lucine.” He said, bowing towards them. He then made his way over to Archer to begin helping him clean the dishes.
“Good morning to you too, Mister Archer.”

"No luck on the phones. I checked as soon as I awoke. The storm is worse than we thought..."
Archer nodded to himself as he prepared Asher a small plate of some crackers and cheese. Though the cheese was not the best they had in stock, as Billy ate most of it the previous night.
"Good morning to you as well, Allister, Sir Vincent."

Asher awkwardly coughed and glanced to the side, then simply waited for the cheese and crackers to be prepared.

Nobody is there. Robin is missing.

"Ro-" That woke him up immediately. He leapt out of bed in a fit of adrenaline, threw on something half-presentable, and ran out of the room.
"Robin! Robin! Has anyone seen Robin!?" He shouted as he raced through the halls, hoping anyone would hear him.

The others look around and noticed that Vincent has slipped on some sort of puddle of clear liquid.
Other droplets lead away from the kitchen and towards the stairs to the cellar. Seems like somebody made a mess drinking something.
