October 28th
<p style="text-align:center;"> October 28th 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 23:50 AM 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Captain Irving's House 

<p style="text-align:center;"> More than 2 days to Phyllis' Dinner 

''Sighed, Irving had hung up the phone. He has been staying up late. Now, he was in depress due to the case that concerned with Dr. Maynard... He was also confused why FBI didn't put on a manhunt for this supect which could possibly be La Gloton. He then dressed up his suit and walked towards the door, where a woman with black suit and an eye-patch stood in front of him. The woman is very tall, standing much taller than the police captain at almost 2m tall. As a result, she had to bent down at the door to get into the room. She has a long strawberry blond hair that stetched to her waist.  Selina scratched her head. It was apparent that she bumped onto the door before she arrived in.'' ''Irving kept a straight face at Selina's self-mockery as usual. Selina seemed to feel upset about her increased height.'' ''It was Selina Strawberry, who also seemed to be concerned. She now changed into another dressing, with black buisness suit instead of her original red cape. It's her own public outfit in order to hide her true identity as an Order of Flourish agent, a disguise that is aptly shown.'' ''Selina then sighed and closed her eyes in dismay. She clenched both of her fists in anger. Recently, she had an argument with Phyllis Peach over her suspicion that Phyllis was planning something, and now she didn't want to attend her dinner party. She was still mad at Phyllis.'' ''Selina stopped speaking when she almost slipped  that name  from her tongue. Her face turned pale, showing how much of a sense of fear she had. She took a deep breath after her five seconds of stutter, before she finally said...'' ''Irving covered his head and felt sad when he heard about the news. He firmly clenched his fists and lowered his head, utterly depressed for sure.'' Selina felt sad and gasped when she heard about Irving talking about his family, and she started to tender her own hair while lamenting with a soft voice. A moment of silence later, Selina sighed with a heavy heart, as Irving walked closer to her, trying to force himself from changing the topic. ''Selina then regained her calmness before she stared at the television. She saw the Halloween Parade live television and bit her lips. Then, thousands of horrible scenes flashed through her head, that fatal Halloween night eight years ago... At the night, sitting in front of a burning shaft, a younger Selina cried as she cradled the dead body of the last comfirmed victim of La Gloton... Moments later, she kept her calmness intact before it began to break, pushing her burning rage down.'' ''Selina then lowed downed her upper torso to get out of the room, before bending her knees. The room was indeed too small for her. Meanwhile, Irving had to reply with a rather sacarstic comment on this.'' ''Hearing such a straightforward sarcasm, Selina shutted her eyes in some embarrassement, and she angrily blushed. All she thought about was the clothes, shoes and gloves she had to thrown away during these years, simply because she outgrew them all. However, Irving was clearly not commenting on this, so it was obvious that Selina missed the point.'' Selina then walked carefully out of Irving's house, as the police captain followed her with a stony face.
 * 105Frank.pngIrving: Very well, Lt. Mills. I don't know what was going on between you and that British man, but still, I guess you can handle these cases. I now have another case in my hand. Let's find out if there's any more connections from there...
 * 69889899_p0_master1200.jpgSelina: Sorry to disturb you, Captain.
 * Irving: Ms. Sarandon, how was your recovering?
 * Selina: Uh, I just gained another inch of height after some days of sleep, probably, and... Oh, my head hurts when I knocked on the top of this door before I got in. It looks like that next time, I have to crouch myself like a worm to get in your office.
 * Selina: Anyway, other than that, I'm fine. Is there anything bothering you, Captain Irving? The All-Hallow's Eve is arriving, and now I heard La Gloton is striking again...
 * 318Ichabod.pngg: No, Lt. Mills claims that this is connected to a recent case connecting with General William Howe's bones, and she's heading back the town from Jeffersonian Insititute. Thanks to Mr. Crane, Howe's body would be escorted back into Sleepy Hollow. I'm handling Dr. Maynard's corpse as well. I can see this is more linkened to La Gloton, but now here's another case.
 * 69643680_p0_master1200.jpgSelina: Leave them be. They're back to Sleepy Hollow, thanks to Jefforsonian Institute's cooperation, and I guess it's better to leave supernatural tasks to them for now, with currently those FBI agents tried to discover the recent case that were suspected to be another...
 * Selina: ... another La Gloton murder.
 * Irving: This case is a curse. Anyone who dared to investigate it shall face disaster, either losing their life or losing their love ones by accident. Once, I didn't believe it... but look at what it brought to me and my family.
 * U=3695162905,1672416175&fm=27&gp=0.jpga: I'm sorry, but I do understand. However, the curse is nothing comparing to indifference. In fact, many people in this town seemed to be indifferent to this serial murder... probably due to many other bad things happened eight years ago that overshadowed the serial killing. Had many people helped us to get the killler, had that bad thing never happened... the killer would be instantly apprehended. I can assure you.
 * Irving: You mean that bioweapon disaster and the subsquent trial? Either this is conspiracy or the world's most unrealistic coincidence, but what it caused was devastating and disgraceful.
 * Irving: By the way, General Howe's remains, in my opinion, holds another great mystery. Having too many people involved might only cause unnessity and inconvinience. It's better to seperate our forces and delve into cases seperately, unless it's an absolute neccesity.
 * Selina: I see... I believe Crane and Mills are investigating some supernatural case which is similar to the recent Headless Horseman event, which went quiet for now. Nevertheless, what we're about to investigate... is a much more humane and less strange case. Please follow me, Captain.
 * Irving: I can see that. Judging from this formal suit, I know you're here for some urgent business.
 * Selina: No, I didn't outgrew any... I mean, this is a prevention of enemies' track down. I was just suspected that there were some people might tracked me down and jeopadize our current appointment, Captain, so I have to do so in order to keep us safe. No one will suspect me as a magician with this.
 * Irving: As you should.
 * Selina: You'll drive.

October 29th - Past the Midnight
<p style="text-align:center;"> October 29th  <p style="text-align:center;"> 20 minutes later  <p style="text-align:center;"> 0:10 AM  <p style="text-align:center;"> Streets  <p style="text-align:center;"> Irving's Police Car 

''Irving and Selina took their ride in Irving's police car, as Irving was driving in the car. Another man was sitting right behind Irving, and the man had a purple hair and a pair of glasses. It was Selina's colleague, Gregory "Grape" Gatsby, who is a renowned chess champion, psychological profiler and a secret agent of the Order of Flourish, much like Selina. However, Irving doesn't know that Gregory was an Order agent, since he never asked.'' Selina looked aside and peered at the limelight outside. ''Looking back on Irving, Selina twitched her eyebrows and sighed. Gregory just stared at the front and didn't say a single word.'' Gregory then chuckled and gave a lazy smile, finally breaking his silence. ''Selina sighed again. She seemed confused and annoyed at Gregory's nonchalant attitude.'' ''Selina closed her eyes, when all of a sudden, a flashback flashed into her mind. She covered her head in pain. She saw a little girl, wearing in red cape, with an arm lost. The little girl knelt beside a corpse and began to cry aloud to the sky. Selina grabbed her forehead and almost bumped her head on the window. Selina then took a deep gasp and tried to breath the air. Something traumatizing had resurfaced into her mind.'' ''Gregory then leered at Selina in a face of warning. He stopped acting lazy and began to show a much more cold and merciless personality when he started to speak.'' Selina lifted her eyebrows as Gregory continued, since his word seemly made her brightened from her gloom. ''Selina then closed her eyes again, when she envisioned a woman with black braid walking away into a void of white-out. Her face remained stoic, but in fact, she was pushing down her inner intensity.'' ''Closing his eyes, Gregory sighed and nodded in sadness. His facical expression was now written with two words:  guilty conscience . Then, Irving, who was driving the car, sighed and replied.'' Selina nodded and fell into silence.
 * Irving: So many murders these days... It looks like the killers are going mad in October. In this case, the victim was found in a hotel room bathtub. There were abdominal mutilations and organ removal on the scene.
 * City-street-wallpapers-full-hd.jpgSelina: Comparing to the recent case of Dr. Maynard, it sounds more like an urban legend than a case of La Gloton.
 * Irving: I have the entire room sealed. You'll get it fresh.
 * Selina: Fresh? Fresh as a daisy?
 * Irving: Fresh enough for you two to tell me whether or not it's La Gloton... Then, you both can go back to work.
 * Gregory: Aw, you don't want me in a chess school classroom. You and Selina both want to wrap my head tight around La Gloton... I'm so tired of this case now. I won't go back to the competition until that killer is caught.
 * Selina: Your bad luck that you're the best, pal.
 * 69822471_p0_master1200.jpgIrving: Expecting two more bodies after these two?
 * Selina: If it's La Gloton, yes, I am... That event... eight years ago...
 * Irving: Something is bothering you?
 * Gregory: Don't let La Gloton stir your mind, both of you. The reason they had Ms. Hestia - their last victim - killed and left her entire body at her house... is so they could poke you with it, Selina.
 * 1377387_1399098393657305_1327797221_n.jpgGregory: Their other victims, those mutilated and dismembered victims... they want to humiliate in death, like... like a public dissection. Hestia was different.
 * Selina: They were probably impressed that she was able to find them. They may be started another murder cycle, Gregory.
 * Irving: If this is La Gloton, there'll be at least one or two more bodies, and then nothing for months, maybe years. We'll have a window of opportunity to catch them, and that window will close. Last time the window closed, I lost my wife's trust, and I ruined the life of my daughter. I don't intend to do that again.

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10 minutes later  <p style="text-align:center;"> Hotel  <p style="text-align:center;"> Crime Scene 

''The police forces had gathered inside the hotel not far away from the room where the murder took place. In the corridor, a tall blond man leaned on the wall and looked very upset. It was none other than Blaze Banana, who just arrived after hearing another event that bore similarities of La Gloton murder. Since he wrote an article about how the so-called of true culprit that executed La Gloton murder case was currently apprehended, he was upset.''


 * Blaze: What should I do? What should I...

''Fearing to become a laughing stock, Blaze had to stood in his spot and thinking about what he had to do, in order to get out of such an embarassement. Suddenly, he heard the footstep coming from the end of corridor.'' ''Blaze was upset and nervous when he saw Captain Irving, Gregory and Selina walked one by one into the corridor. Irving and Gregory went into the suite which the murder took place, but Selina didn't. She spotted Blaze before she even entered the door. That's when her blood began to boil.'' ''Selina's face turned redder. She felt upset and angry when she spotted Blaze. Blaze gulped nervously. It was certain that he would never get out of this. As he had expected, Selina walked straight towards Blaze, passing through the guarding police officers and went right in front of her. Even though he's not a short man, Blaze had to look up so that he could face Selina straight into the eyes.'' ''After landing a punch on Blaze's face all of a sudden, a furious Selina pushed Blaze in the wall with her strength, but two police officers rushed towards her and pulled her back, but even them cannot match with Selina's strength when she started to struggle. In the end, it took five strongest police officers in this squad to pull Selina away, while Blaze started to take care of his bleeding nose.  Exasperated, Blaze angrily stared at Selina as she was pulled away from him. Selina stopped struggling and pulled herself away from the police, but she didn't charge at Blaze.'' ''Some police officers immediately gathered around Selina and tried to cool her down. Still feeling angry, Selina gulped and had to push her wrath down, and she angrily turned back without saying a word. Now, no one had ever noticed that Blaze released a cryptic smile on his face.'' ''Blaze then slowly went into the room and wiped the smile off his face. Helplessly, Selina had to walked behind him, annoyed. Inside their room, there were several police officers searching for the clues and examining the crime scene.'' ''Looking worried and nervous, Blaze asked as he walked towards Officers Luke Morales and Devon Jones, two police officers in Irving's squad. Luke was holding a camera while Devon looked at the bathroom of the suite.'' Blaze and Selina then looked at Gregory, who wore a piece of glove and checked the blood spilled on the ground. ''Blaze and Selina then looked at Devon. Selina seemed quite confused and looked at Devon, who gave her his answer.'' Irving, who was now near the victim that was lying inside the bathtub, turned back and stared at Devon. ''Selina then slowly and gently went towards the interior of that bathroom, where she saw a man dead in his bathtub. A hole was on his stomach, with blood spilled on the edge of the tub. Selina almost vomit as she stared at the corpse, which brought her back some memory of that infamous serial killer. However, Selina controlled her fear and gazed closer at the corpse, hoping to believe she was wrong.'' ''Irving crouched right next to her. Others stood at the door and stared at the crime scene.'' ''Selina then check the victim's hand. All of a sudden, she saw broken strings of sutures inside his hand, now messed with his blood.'' ''Devon then put his hand on his chin as he had a hard time figuring out the killer's identity. Blaze, however, stared at the body and seemed utterly nervous.'' ''Irving then noticed that there where scars on the victim's chest. It was apparent that the killer had took away from the victim's chest.'' ''Selina chose to ignore the police. Secretly removing her eyepatch, Selina then went forward to check the body thoroughly before suddenly, she remembered something... Her heart rate fasten as she slowly stood back to her full height, being careful for not hitting her head on the iron bar, which the curtain was attached. She looked at the body as she put her eye-patch back with dissonance.'' ''Selina's word made Irving, Luke and all others surprised. Gregory quickly went towards the bathroom, with Luke and Devon looked at each other in an awkward face. Blaze, however, was relieved and smiled.  Devon crossed his arm and looked very dissatisfied, standing at the door while Gregory checked closer to the body. He then looked at other parts of the bathtub next to the body. He found nothing but blood. Gregory frowned his eyebrows.'' Devon was annoyed and he quickly lifted his hand and tried to explain, before Blaze sighed and walked closer to him with an embarrased. Before Devon could finish his long and boring by-the-book conclusions, Blaze quickly pulled Devon away before he closed the door. ''Blaze playfully closed the door and the room was only filled with four people - Selina, Gregory, Irving and the victim, of course. Irving looked at the corpse with some disbelief.'' Irving looked at Gregory, who stopped checking the body and went standing beside Selina in a stony face. Irving then narrowed his gaze and looked at Gregory, before he nodded nervously. ''Looking at Irving with a pair of sharpened and cold gaze, Gregory took a deep breath and stared at the corpse once more. He's not someone who would easily show any empathy, but still, he always had a clear mind and thoughts. He also acted in some carefree attitude, which was something a workholic like Selina lacked of.'' ''Gregory then closed his eyes and shook his head. He found no other parts in the display that matched the victim's identity.'' ''Selina nodded and she clenched her fist, knocking it on the wall in fraustration. Tears rolled inside her eyes as she felt herself to be a weak one.'' ''Gregory and Irving stared at each other and sighed. Selina stood up and petted the shoulder of Gregory.'' ''Selina's word made Gregory widened his gaze all of a sudden as he took a deep breath, before suddenly, he had a flashback of himself beating a man in black suit before a woman came to stop him. Gregory then punched the woman, whose head slammed on a rock and broke her skull, killing her in the process.'' Gregory took a deep breath and scratch his head as Selina stared at him. Gregory lowered his head and felt ashamed of himself somehow. ''Just then, Gregory felt his own cell phone shook. He immediately took it and looked at the screen, with words like: " I've heard about the recent event. Please come to my house as soon as possible. Phyllis Peach. " Selina then stared at Gregory before she turned back and walked towards Captain Irving. She then spoke in a stern but sad voice. Gregory, however, began to take a look at the screen in confusion.''
 * Blaze: Hmm?
 * Selina: Blaze? You liar...
 * Selina: What in the world is going on!? I read your article yesterday, the one you made our good Calvin to post! You said that La Gloton was apprehended and chained inside Tarrytown, so how come? Why did another two mutilation case that resembled the killer's M.O. occured in just two days?! You tried to undermine me for so many years by using such a despicable trickery!?
 * Blaze: I'm a victim as well, Selina! Can't you understand?
 * Blaze: You're fairly immature, my girl. You beated me just because I have posted an article that is facing the disproval. Is that why you blame me for such a shocking revelation? No one had ever expected this, right? I'll help in this case to prove or disprove that Walter Watermelon is telling the truth. If not, why don't you go and find Walter to blame?
 * Blaze: (think) * I guess I've won. *
 * Devon_Jones.pngBlaze: Has anyone touched the body?
 * Devon: For once, local securities and FBI Agents behaved themselves and didn't meddle. We don't want this case to widespread outside the border of this town, or the whole routine of this town will be messed up for sure.
 * Luke: It's fairly evident the man's dead just by looking at him.
 * Gregory: I touched the body. There's a lot going on with the body. For example,  surgery was performed and then un-performed. 
 * Devon: The surgery was un-performed by bare hands, sutures clawed open.
 * Devon: I, uh, I also... did a little bit of touching.
 * Luke: Pieces of him were torn off from the bed to the bathroom, like breadcrumbs.
 * Selina: The surgery wasn't performed in here. There would be a lot more blood.
 * Gregory: If he's moving his victims, he could be performing the mutilations in the same transport.
 * Blaze: Find the car, find the killer.
 * Selina: Um... He tore open his own sutures... He wanted to commit suicide for sure, but the killer interrupted him and turned it into a murder...
 * Devon: It wasn't to his kidney, though. La Gloton already took it with him, or her.
 * Blaze: I'd say him, as women can hardly take such work with brute force.
 * Irving: What did the killer take out of this man's chest?
 * Luke: Going for the heart, but it's probably interrupted. It's still intact. Traumatized, but it's intact.
 * Selina: The killer... isn't La Gloton.
 * Devon: It's La Gloton for sure.
 * Gregory: I know how La Gloton works as I did several research. This is not the same killer.
 * Devon: But... There're too many similaries.
 * Gregory: There aren't enough.
 * Devon: Knife wounds are cuts, not stabs. The killer has anatomical knowledge, dissection skills, dealing with the victim with mutilation. The killer removed his organ, victim clothed, on display. We got 22 signature componets... all attribute to the same killer!
 * Blaze: It's 22  possible  signature components. Yes, I know, and just give them some time to think it thoroughly...
 * Blaze: Sorry, guys. It's kind of disturbing, huh?
 * Gregory: Are you sure about this?
 * Gregory: More or less.
 * Irving: Tell me why.
 * 69845287_p0_master1200.jpgGregory: I'm not sure if I had the same reason with Selina, but judging from what I saw from the profiles... La Gloton's murder tends to be symbolic. For example, in one case, La Gloton left their victim - a Catholic boy - in a church pew, using his tongue as as a page marker in the Bible he was holding...
 * Gregory: This isn't that. This is like a medical student, or a trainee... or someone tried to make an extra buck in a back-alley surgery... and it went bad, actively bad.
 * Selina: This killer is a clumsy one. He didn't took much, and when I used my  hidden eye  to examine the corpse, I discovered that the heart wasn't cut... It was squeezed a little bit, as if the killer tried to save his or her victim by restarting the heart. If's that's true, then it isn't out of brutality. Did La Gloton ever tried to save their victim?
 * Gregory: You'll catch La Gloton, eventually.
 * Selina: Yeah, well, I want to catch him or her now... and when I do, you're not gonna get a chance to  beat him or her half-death in craze . 
 * Gregory: Yeah, I was sinned... I don't have any chance to throw the first stone, and I don't even worth it, so...
 * Diabolik_Lovers_-_11_raw.mp4_000286869.jpgSelina: You know what I mean, don't you? Don't worry. I know you didn't mean it to kill someone else accidently while beating the one who you hate. I'll relieve you from the burden. La Gloton will be beaten, and no more innoncent people will die.
 * Gregory: I know you're sparing from that burden... I somehow lost control that day and I didn't remember why, but... I mean, you can't just jack up the law and get underneath it.
 * Selina: Can't I?
 * Selina: Captain, please tell your men this; next time if they want to draw a conclusion, go and do a research on archive files, please.

<p style="text-align:center;"> 0:40 AM  <p style="text-align:center;"> 20 minutes later  <p style="text-align:center;"> Phyllis' House 

''Sitting inside her office while staying up late, Phyllis took a look at the photos about Dr. Mayard's death. Then, Phyllis suddenly heard a knock on the door, before she walked to the door and opened it. She then saw Gregory Grape standing outside her house. She was apparently pleased by the presence of Gregory.'' ''Gregory nodded and then he walked into the house very carefully. They then sat at their respective armchairs in the living room, where they faced each other. Of course, this happened after Phyllis poured two cups of Chianti for herself and Gregory. Each of them now held one cup in their hand.'' ''Phyllis peered at Gregory in a calm face and was like she was about to peer into the latter's soul. Gregory didn't even chill out at her face, unlike many ordinary people would do.'' ''Phyllis nodded. She seemed very unpleasant after Gregory mentioned the article.'' Before Phyllis finished, Gregory shook his head and interrupted her. Phyllis then made a blink at Gregory, giving him a cryptic look on her face. Slowly and gently, Phyllis then took a sip from her glass of wine. Gregory then closed his eyes and thought about the killing in the hotel. Gregory and Phyllis then looked at each others and both had one possiblity in their mind... ''Falling into thoughts, Phyllis then looked at the newspaper once again, which detailed the hotel murder. The newspaper was right on her table. She then spoke once more after five seconds of silence.'' ''Phyllis frowned her eyebrows as she made her own conclusion. Feeling a mildly fridge horror in his mind, Gregory then widened his eyes and took a deep breath.'' ''Phyllis then looked at the newspaper again as she turned into an serious expression. Gregory took a sip as he heard Phyllis' calm voice once again.''
 * Phyllis: Good evening, Gregory. Long time no see. I'm sorry that I have to call you in a time like this. Please come in.
 * X00_00_01--20180307-09DN5530ZES.pngGregory: Very rarely do I see you stayed up late. I've been so tired these days. Why did you call me? Probably not just because of your dinner party, right?
 * Phyllis: I believe you're discussing something with me, like always, right? I know you didn't have time to join my banquet.
 * Gregory: Well, that's correct. I believed you read Blaze Banana's article, which was published under the name of Calvin Cranberry. I know you have habits reading daily newspaper... To be honest, I was really mad at Walter and Blaze now.
 * Phyllis: I did, indeed, and I met Calvin just a day ago. He turned really fragile. I guess the truth is about to give a formless slap on Director Walter's face. La Gloton has strike again, Gregory, in that hotel.
 * Gregory: No, no, no, no, I don't think so.
 * Jack_the_ripper_by_davepalumbo-d5nf3d2.jpgPhyllis: Hmm?
 * Gregory: I don't think this is the same guy, just as Selina thought. I discovered some more complicated matters on that corpse. There're at least two killers by now, and that killer in the hotel? He's a copycat at the very least...
 * Phyllis: Maybe they're a killer squad... as not every murders in Whitechapel would be pinned on Jack the Ripper. He has four or five cases, while in total 11 murders occured in Whitechapel.
 * Gregory: Well, that's true.
 * Phyllis: Any variations in the murders that might suggest there could be more than one La Glotons?
 * Gregory: "Some" variations.
 * Phyllis: The victims were all brutalized. What was the brutalization hiding?
 * Diabolik_Lovers_Episode_1_-_Reiji_Screenshot_7.jpgGregory: The careful surgical removal and preservation of vital organs.
 * Phyllis: Organ harvesters?
 * X00_00_01--20180307-09DEN553M4-0ZE.pngPhyllis: Hmm, Irving and Selina are catching a serial killer they can't seem to catch... I believe there's a mastermind behind the killing, while he let copycats or even his minions to do his job for him. It's a brilliant diversion set up by the murder's mastermind, I think, or some mere coincidence that he exploits in order to help himself out and get away from suspicions.
 * Gregory: That's an interesting theory... I will keep it in mind if another body drops.
 * Phyllis: Please do.

Phyllis' Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> 3 years ago 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Hospital 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Clinic 

''Phyllis sat in a clinic where she had to accept blood examine for no reasons from a doctor. Phyllis was a bit of peeved with it.'' The doctor shrugged his shoulder and answered in an nonchalant tone. "....................." Phyllis seemed unwilling to give her blood being examined just because of a little allergy, which the doctor somehow intepreted as an infection, which would require definitely more expensive medicine. ''Phyllis then narrowed her gaze, looking at the doctor in a sullen face, but she didn't try to break out. She then had an idea in her mind.''
 * Doctor_Shamal_Anime.pngDoctor: Any other infections?
 * Phyllis: Infections? You seemed convinced I'm diseased.
 * Doctor: I was asking a broader question. A disease is an infection. An infection isn't always a disease.
 * Phyllis: That is true.
 * Doctor: You should just tell me by now, because I'm going to find out, and it will affect your insurance if you lie.
 * Phyllis: ............

While thinking about her unhappy experience with that doctor who greatly annoyed her with his impolite and greedy attitude, Phyllis bit her lips and looked at a card she just took from her box of recipes.
 * Phyllis: Crisp Lemon Calf Liver...

''Phyllis narrowed her eyes and then turned back, as she went to another box, which was containing some of the name card Phyllis gathered from her clients and other people, many of them being renouned in the town. She took the name card of that doctor.''

<p style="text-align:center;"> Mark Morstan 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Medical Examiner in Jeffersonian's 

''Phyllis grinned as her eyes turned into yellow, and she began to lick her lips. She then turned herself to the door beside her and walked out, with a smile on her face.''
 * Phyllis: (think) * The hunt begins. *

<p style="text-align:center;"> Boarder of Sleepy Hollow

<p style="text-align:center;"> 6:00 AM

''The truck of the Jeffersonians rid on the road in the woods, heading straight towards the town of Sleepy Hollow. The truck carried the skeleton of Howe to the town under Dr. Brennen's request. Howe's bones were carried all the way towards the town. The coincidence was that the driver was none other than Mark Morstan.''

Just 

<p style="text-align:center;">' - ???: Do you need a hand? '

''Seeing the woman coming for help, Mark sighed in relief. He the pointed at the truck with a sigh.'' ''As the woman walked closer without any word, Mark was surprised as he finally saw her face. It was a tall woman with long gray hair, a pair of yellow eyes decorated in eye shadow. Her lips was covered in black lipsticks. A black hat with yellow rose was right on the top of her head. She was like some pranksters walking in the Halloween night.''
 * Mark: I think I must've hit a rock or something like that. It gouged my gastank.



Mark narrowed his eyes in surprise as he saw the woman's face, recognizing her despite her overall make-up. ''Mark did not get the response, because Phyllis never responded him. She just walked towards him with her stoic face. Then, Phyllis raised a knife and then plundged into the guts of the man.'' ''Mark let out a weak yell but he could barely talk. Then, Phyllis went closer to Mark and whispered to him in a dark tone.'' ''Phyllis then push the dead man away from her and she started to grab his feet, dragging him to a bush. She was certain that no one saw her, since it was the wood and still away from the town.''
 * Mark: Have... we met before!?
 * Phyllis: I must remind you that this is not just personal. Goodbye.

''However, the murder was not the only business Phyllis was attended to. She then put her attention on the truck beside her. It was the truck with General William Howe's bones. She had the feast to prepare, but first of all, she needed to draw attentions to avoid suspicion from Ichabod.'' ''Phyllis opened the back door of the truck, revealing a large coffin inside with a mark of the Jeffersonian Anthoropology on it. Phyllis removed the lid on the coffin and looked at the skeleton inside it.'' ''Howe's skelleton was placed perfectly within the coffin. Phyllis grinned. She never expected that her hunt today lead her to the skeleton of Howe, which she had been looking for days.'' ''Phyllis then took a black tablet - the same black tablet given to her by Crow Faux - and threw it right on the chest of Howe. The tablet then started to glow in orange, before a huge swarm of maggots started to flow themselves beneath the tablet, flowing all the way to cover Howe's skeleton. Phyllis merely watched all of this happened, and she never felt it ruined her apetite.''
 * Phyllis: In Sleepy Hollow, only unimportant people die forever.

''The maggots then pulled the severed skull of Howe back on his neck and covered it as well. As soon as they covered the entire body of Howe, they started to disappear.''

''The skeleton itself had "disappeared" as well... or it was transformed into something else. Instead of a skull and bones. Phyllis then saw a man with flesh lying in the coffin. However, his skin was gray, dry and full of wrinkles.''
 * Phyllis: The king requires your service. Will you answer his call...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Phyllis: ... General Howe? '

''Inside the coffin, General Howe awakened and opened his eyes, which were both inhumanely blue. He raised his body while still sitting at the coffin, looking around in confusion. The tablet placed on his chest had brought him back to life as an undead being.'' Phyllis leaned closer with a dark expression as she began to tempt Howe with her own words. ''Phyllis noticed that Howe seemed interested in her words. She then spoke the rest of her words.'' Howe narrowed his eyes in malice when he immediately realized who the enemy Phyllis referred to.
 * Howe: Where?
 * Phyllis: You've arrived in Sleepy Hollow, my lord. Raise your men, and make the Patriot scum afraid again. Afraid of Britain. Afraid of death...
 * Phyllis: In addition, I shall offer you vengence on a hated enemy who once tried to end your life.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Howe: Crane. '

Phyllis smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
 * Phyllis: (think) * Finally, someone would be a red herring for me. *

Purgatory
<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile  <p style="text-align:center;"> Purgatory Prison 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Christine Van Bilj's Cell 

''In comatose, Christine Van Bilj started to shiver in horror and pain. A nightmare began to conjoin itself with her brain, which haunted her for days and night. Just as she was moaning, Christine heard a soft male voice whispering beside her.'' ''Hearing the male voice, Christine immediately reacted to this. She started to quiver in extreme melancholy and remorse.'' ''Christine lifted her eyelids as soon as she heard the name Crow Faux... She looked blank and plain at the man with auburn hair in front of her. The man sighed in sadness, just as Christine regained her eyesight.'' Crow muttered out his true name unwillingly, and then Christine's eyes immediately lit up. ''Christine widened her eyes in surprise as soon as she saw Crow, as if she saw someone she held very dearly. Then, her lips lifted up, forming a smile.'' ''Christine looked at Crow in a face of doubt. She was both surprised and doubtful to Crow Faux who had appeared in front of her.'' ''Crow called Christine "Chrissy" which is a nickname only for those very close to Christine - her best friends. However, not even Colin had ever called his sister as "Chrissy", which means Crow is even closer to Christine than Colin, even to a point of romantic relationship.'' ''Christine's smile faded when she saw Crow's face became much more serious. Her face turned more and more pale as Crow leaned closer at her.'' ''Christine narrowed her gaze and quivered again. She then tried to avoide the gaze of Crow. Crow was upset by this and he walked one pace closer.'' ''Christine still tried to avoid Crow's eyes. Enraged, Crow then grabbed the chin of Christine, forcing her to look at him.'' ''Christine then shook her head and sighed. She lowed down her head in shame.'' ''Crow sighed uncomfortably and then he sad beside Christine. The two now acted like couples sitting beside each other.'' ''Crow's eyes then met with Christine's, as the former peered at her seriously. He showed extreme concern over Christine and frowned his eyebrows. His eyes started to glow in red, yellow and blue auras.'' ''Christine started to mumble, before all of a sudden, as if a flash of electric current went through he brain, Christine's eyes rolled and turned blank. Crow then peered Christine closer, being nervous for what was inside her.'' ''Christine started to quiver in pain. Tears started to flow down her cheeks. She whimpered faintly in pain and sorrow.'' ''Sitting beside Christine, Crow silently and calmly listened to Christine confessing herself. Whimpering, Christine discontinued and fell silent again.'' ''As Christine paused, Crow maintained his usually aloof face and encouraged Christine to go on with her confession. Christine nodded and then began to continue.'' With a calm face, Crow then sighed and looked at Christine once again. ''Crow's words suddenly made Christine widened her eyes and looked at Crow in shock. She couldn't believe her ear when Crow spoke out the words.'' Crow's voice lifted up as he got too overexcited in scholding Christine, but Christine simply lifted her index finger and put her finger on his mouth. ''The words of Christine successfully calmed Crow down. Crow then covered his face and shook his head in a face of bitter sadness.'' ''Hearing the words, Christine lifted her smiling face at Crow. Her eyes was full of gratitude.'' ''Crow sighed and then stood up in a calm face. He looked at the watch and frowned.'' As Crow was about to leave, he then turned back to Christine and showed her a card. Christine then took a closer look at the invitation card of Phyllis Peach and began to read. With a serious tone, Christine immdiately narrowed her gaze and looked at Crow in the face. Crow shruggled his shoulder and gave Christine an answer of sarcasm. Hearing Crow's dark sense of humor, Christine smiled and shook her head, as soon as she got the sarcasm inside Crow's words. ''Deciding not to join Phyllis' feast, Crow then smiled and silently walked out. He then disappeared into the darkness, leaving Christine in silence. In fact, all Christine deduced would turned out be correct. All of those guests who participated the dinner would all eventually become future enemies of Team Witness as well as Phyllis' own pawns when time comes...''
 * Hungary.full.713505.jpg???: Psst, Christine?
 * Christine: C-Colin... Are you here?
 * Christine: Colin! Colin! I'm sorry! I didn't know what happened to me--
 * ???: No, Christine, it's me... This is Crow Faux, Christine.
 * Christine: Crow Faux? Who is Crow Faux...
 * Shin.(AMNESIA).full.2269573.jpgCrow: Gabriel Van Tassel?
 * Christine: G-Gabriel? It's you?
 * Christine: You're here? How can it be?
 * Crow: Hush... Don't let Lord Moloch know I'm here, Christine.
 * Crow: No matter how, I'm here, my friend... Chrissy, long time no see.
 * Christine: Why are you here, Gabriel?
 * 68678680_p0_master1200.jpgCrow: I just don't understand, Christine... I heard about the news you come back... In fact, when I heard about your alleged death, I was grief-stricken. However, now you just look at me in the eyes and answer me this question...
 * Crow: What motivated you to kill Colin, your very own brother?
 * Axis.Powers-.Hetalia.full.1087296.jpgCrow: Stop running away from this! Christine, I demand an answer. As a childhood friend of yours, Christine, I know how much you care about your brother and tolerate every mistake he made. However, how could you kill him with cold blood?
 * Christine: Gabriel...
 * Crow: I want to know why, and the answer to this may be the key to save you from your current self.
 * Christine: Then, don't look at me in such a way or speak to me in such a condesending tone. Sit beside me and I'll tell you everything.
 * Crow: I suspect that... something is wrong inside you, right? Not your talents or goals... but your mind.
 * Crow: Christine, tell me what happened. I found you different from the day we met.
 * Christine: I...
 * Hungary.full.1573499.jpgChristine: I... was... I was just...
 * Christine: Something is inside me, Gabriel... It's something malicious... It was born from the despair of mine... formed after I discovered that my father, whom I once respected... used me as a tool.
 * Crow: Go on.
 * Christine: When I was casted into Purgatory, my sense began to return... and now I realized what had I done... Gabriel, you know how much I want to leave here... I cannot be chained in this place. I need to accomplish so much in the honor of Colin. In addition... I want to be with you again.
 * Crow: What if I tell you that Colin was severely weakened and badly injured after Ichabod Crane, Abbie Mills and Sister Mary Eunice?
 * Crow: Our enemy is the Witnesses, Christine, and both of us hate Ichabod Crane. I saw it with my own eyes right beside the Trout Lake. Colin suffered a lot before he went to resurrect you, in order to fulfill his one last wish - continue your destiny. That form of insanity inside you drove you to kill him, out of spite... What an irony. I then deduce that it's NOT Christine Van Bilj I once know! The real Christine Van Bilj would never kill her brother! She is the future ruler of a world of hive! She's a genius! She's an ambitious, mature and thoughtful lady! She's not a fractricidal beast like that so-called form of insanity inside you, or a sad child like you now who kept whimering inside this place!
 * Tumblr_p244kxxmnI1vlj1bto1_1280.pngChristine: I understand what you mean. Ichabod Crane is our enemy, and he should pay for his sins in turning against his country... as well as taking your sister from Abraham Van Brunt. These two things are the reasons we resent him so much, Gabriel, right? In spite of this, I lost my body, and I need to stay in here until the time allow me to return.
 * Crow: I get better now, Christine. You know what I thought when I heard about your death? I thought I'll find a magic stone, similar to the legendary Philosopher's Stone, to bring you back to life. Then, I found it, a majestic magic stone known as the Stone of Wisdom. Oh, how I wished to bring you back from the dead with it, Christine... but that one horrible traitor ruined it. He kept the Stone for himself and later found the Order of Flourish, who kept fighting against Lord Moloch. That's when I returned back to Lord Moloch's army. I'll make the humanity pay for whatever I lost. Now, with you at my side helping me, Christine, we can unleash Hell on Earth and rule humanity together, in retaliation to those we hate. 
 * Christine: Thank you, Gabriel.
 * Crow: No problem, but I have to go now. Lord Moloch would tear me apart as soon as he came back and find I'm here.
 * Crow: By the way, Christine, I would've invite you to this dinner party if you're not trapped in here. Take a look at this.
 * Christine: (read) "Phyllis 'Peach' Parker, the lead prosecutor of Sleepy Hollow Courthouse, delightfully invites you to join my dinner party on Halloween, with a set of seventeen dishes. The transportation..."
 * Christine: Gabriel, I have a feelings that this woman - in spite of I never met her - have some of her personal purpose... hiding inside every dishes she made. Maybe it's poisonous... You shouldn't let your guard down.
 * Crow: No, I'm okay. I won't go there. About her, I'm relented, so relented that I kept distrusting her in a relented face, Christine.
 * Christine: You're still that sacarstic.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Order of Flourish Base  <p style="text-align:center;"> Selina's Office 

''Sitting inside her office, Selina silently watched TV as she heard about the recent news report. Then, she saw Walter Watermelon standing in front of the press conference and making his announcement.'' Selina took a sip of coffee in order to relax herself... ... but she sprayed the coffee on the table as soon as Walter proclaimed that he won't resign. ''Selina trembled in horror as she quickly slammed the coffee table on the floor. She soon took a mop and cleaned the mess on the floor.'' After cleaning the room, Selina stood up back to her full height and closed the television, annoyed, just in time when the door opened and a white-haired young man walked into the gate. The young man is Leonardo Lemon, a younger officer in the Order of Flourish and the one who accompanied Pedro Pineapple to the opera house, where he met Phyllis Peach there. Leonardo walked into the room with a report holding on his hand. ''Hearing Leonardo's news, Selina was very fraustrated. She clenched her fist and punched the table fiercely.'' ''Leonardo then looked around, very cautiously, finding no one beside them. He then walked towards Selina and whispered to her carefully.'' Lifting her eyebrows, Selina became wary about what she heard from Leonardo, about the Freemasonry. Leonardo shook his head and sighed in confusion. ''Selina bit her lips when Leonardo told her the news, as she realized what might happened. She shook her fists in anger.'' Leonardo then chuckled with some wickedness like some bodgeyman pranking children. "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ''The quick refusal made Leonardo quite surprised, but what surprised him even more is what Selina did next. He saw Selina went to her office table. There was a large case on her table. She opened the case and raised a red syringe from it. Leonardo widened his eyes in shock and stepped back in horror.'' ''Selina nodded her head and glared at Gregory seriously. She then paced towards Gregory, grabbing his neck with one hand and lifting him above her head.'' ''Leonardo tried to breath, but Selina's grasp was so hard that he could hardly speak at all. All he could do is to nod like mad. Selina then made him safely land on the ground and released him.'' ''Leonardo breathed hard and raised his hand, making a gesture that meant "OK". Selina then petted his back to help him breathing once more. Now, Leonardo was revealed to be a spy who was affiliated to Selina.'' ''Gregory returned back to his sense, and he stood up before patting the dust away from his suit. He then made a salut to Selina with confidence, revealing his feeble and soft personality was just a mere facade. In truth, he's a much more confident person who will support the Order of Flourish in order to assure the peace, with all his might.''
 * 66726480_p1_master1200.jpgNews: [Recently, with the rumors of La Gloton killing is spreading, the assistance of Mayor, Selina Saradon, posts a report on the news to assure that the killing is in dispute. The police will soon find the hotel killer as soon as possible, as they believed it to be connected to the recent murders...]
 * Walter: [As the director of Tarrytown Hospital, I'm deeply ashamed by the recent malfunctions in our system. I was so wrong about deducing Mr. Nelson Meyers as La Gloton, but no doubt this man is a dangerous killer who murdered at least three people. I'll take the responsiblity to help the police to find the killer as soon as possible...]
 * Walter: [... but I won't ever resign until my period of duty has expired.]
 * 04tumblr_olnkxoRyRJ1w68aado5_r1_1280.jpga: What the--!!
 * Walter: [The murder spree of La Gloton hasn't appear in just eight weeks. It's just a myth used by some sort of copycat to raise panic. However, I'm not impressed. From this day on, I'll atone my mistake and support police as soon as possible, before the "curse" ever happen to swallow all of us. Even though the whole USA and this whole world never believes me, I'm assured that the every single denizens of this town of Sleepy Hollow is always on my side... because that's what I felt at heart.]
 * ???: Excuse me, Selina...
 * Selina: What is it?
 * Leonardo: There're three news. First, for some reasons, the early speech of Walter Watermelon had earned following in this town. Some citizens of this town started to blame police for the false conviction, while Walter earns support from many townspeople.
 * D50735fae6cd7b893d0030b10d2442a7d9330e97.jpgSelina: Dammit... What the hell happened to this town? It's apparent that our plans should get into the motion, so that we can rebuild the shattered power of us and make this town peaceful once again... but I hate to admit that it still needs more steps of preperations, let along the fact that... the Horseman of Death is still at large.
 * Leonardo: Ah, speak of the Horseman...
 * Leonardo: Here's the second news. Those old folks from Sleepy Hollow Freemansonry has called you for a meeting on November 1st.
 * Selina: Freemasons? Why're they trying to call me? I thought they won't allow a woman to join their meetings.
 * Leonardo: No idea, but I think it's probably about that Ichabod Crane... They know what kind of spell his wife put on him, and they're trying to do it with their own hands. They also forbade you to tell it about Ichabod or Abbie, or there'll be some consequences.
 * Selina: I'll attend it on November 1st. The Order still needs Crane. Considering that I've currently recovered, I must discuss this with them as soon as possible. What about the third news?
 * Leonardo: Well, the next one is much less serious and much less fraustrating. I'm also here to ask you if you can join Phyllis Peach's dinner banquet.
 * Piers_C-Virus.pngSelina: I decline. Sorry, but I'm not interested in such banquet, not to mention in a time like this. I'll find the killer as the first priority, no matter it's La Gloton, a copycat, or both.
 * 70011423_p0_master1200.jpgrdo: Supreme Croatoan Virus! No, but it looks different...
 * Selina: Yes, this is a special type... an enhanced version. I earned it from someone else, and I guess there'll be more to produce in the future, but not for now. However, this one, as the prototype of the enhanced virus, shall be my own possession until the day it can be used. I'm still not sure what would happen, so we have to be cautious so that none of those ordinary citizens will get harmed.
 * Selina: By the way, if you meet those Freemasonry folks again, don't you ever tell this to them. This virus is a secret weapon and can only get used in last resort, understand?
 * 68921986_p0_master1200.jpgSelina: Sorry for the violence, but I won't let you get harmed. Now, I won't stop you to join Peach's banquet, but  if you ever find any useful informations from Pedro and Orlando, especially evidences... do tell me.  Also, please tell Mad Moiselle to keep an eye more on the Witnesses and help you in your mission. We do need them, but we still need to assure that we can trust them.
 * Selina: Good. Now, Leonardo, we need to cleanse the Order from its filth and capture La Gloton as soon as possible. Therefore, we need the support of Ichabod Crane... We need to enforce the Order of Flourish and the peace in Sleepy Hollow, bringing back whoever we loved...
 * Leonardo: As you wish, ma'am...

<p style="text-align:center;"> (The Ringmistress' Lair) 

''After overseeing the Witnesses from the other side, the Plum Twins carefully came back from the old roadway. They teleported themselves back into an underground basement beneath Sleepy Hollow Art Museum, owned by the town's Historical Society. No one was allowed to enter the basement except those under the permission of the Ringmistress, the person who owned the circus of Merry Melody.''
 * Fate.Grand.Order.full.2284262.jpgPlum Twins: It's now possible that La Gloton strikes again, Our Ringmistress. The police didn't notice us. They won't suspect two children who just passed by... but many of the citizens were not feel like paying attentions on this.

''The Plum Twins are members of the circus, so they're allowed to enter as long as they weren't discovered. Due to their petite size, they're perfect to hide themselves.'' ''The Ringmistress didn't answer and the room was kept in silence. Penelope looked at Phoebe in some confusion, while Phoebe was nervous.'' ''Phoebe held the hand of Penelope tightly, and she was shivering. However, Penelope smiled and began to tender her sister. Regardless of their expressional difference, they looked like a mirror to each other.'' ''Just then, a dark and deep voice came from the other side of the corridor. A chormatic whirlpool began to float on the sky.'' ''Then, the whirlpool turned herself into a large portal and a young lady walked out of the portal. She is very petite, barely over five feet tall, and her face seemed to be beautiful if you look from far away. However, if you look closer, you can find it to be a plastic mask to hide the girl's true face. The young lady is wearing pink dress and a pink hat. She has pinkish curly hair, a pair of pink eyes and a long neck. She seemed displeased. The twins gulped and felt unnerved. They were facing the Ringmistress - real name Helene Hawthorn - herself.''
 * Twins: Our Ringmistress?
 * Phoebe: The Ringmistress isn't here?
 * Okumura.Haru.full.2303052.jpgPenelope: I assume the Ringmistress is tired, sis. We can talk about it later...
 * ???: I'm here, Twins. What is it?

(- Narrator: At the time, Helene is yet to become a Supreme Croatoan, but she already becomes an artistic magician.) ''Pheobe answered in a weak voice, but she cannot continue. However, Penelope immediately continued the words and spoke in a calmer voice.'' ''By comparation, Penelope is much more matured and calm than her twin sister. She was born just seconds before Phoebe, and therefore she was the eldest of the twins.'' ''Penelope and Phoebe both nodded. Hearing Penelope's words, Helene frowned her eyebrows and immediately sat on an armchair in sheer fraustration.'' ''All of a sudden, Helene had widened her eyes and started to shiver in horror. She turned back and lowed down her head in a painful expression. Some bad memories started to resurface inside her mind. The Twins stepped back. They were unnerved that Helene started to get upset.'' ''All of a sudden, Helene's eyes turned red and she transformed into another form. She now wore a hat on her head and a musterkeer suit. A black mask appeared on her face.'' ''Phoebe and Penelope were both shocked as soon as they saw Helene transformed into a much more serious and much darker outfit all of a sudden. It was apparent that Helene was in a bad mood.'' ''Penelope and Phoebe looked at each other. Phoebe fully fell scared and could only whimpered at Helene as well as her wrath. Penelope, however, acted a lot more composed and calm. She walked towards the Ringmistress and asked her.'' Helene clenched her fists and started to shiver. "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ''Shocked, the Twins suddenly fell down onto the floor as soon as they heard about an intruder in their own basement. They seemed even more shocked when they heard about La Gloton's possible return. Even Penelope cannot act calm as soon as she heard this news, unlike her composed reaction to La Gloton's possible return.'' ''The Ringmistress then walked towards the table and poured herself a cup of tea. The Persian, literally someone with Persian bloodline, is the second in command of Merry Melody. He is also the manager of the Sleepy Hollow Art Museum, known to the public as his name, Harold Harrison. However, the Persian is also a member in the Order of Flourish, known as Harold Honeydew.'' ''Drinking her cup of tea, a dark smile appeared on Helene's face. Her eyes seemed vacant and cold. It struck a creep feelings into the heart of the Twins. In spite of this, the Twins eventually regained their composure as soon as they heard this.'' It all started a day ago, after the circus performance...
 * Phoebe: Another murder that matched the MO of La Gloton appeared, and it's the second one in two days...
 * Penelope: ... This time, the victim is from the Jeffersonian Institute and the murderer seemed to aim the bones of General William Howe. The bones are now missing.
 * Helene: Howe's bones?
 * Helene: I don't understand... If the killer is La Gloton, why would they find a skeleton...
 * Noir.(Persona.5).full.2292519.pngHelene: I was just messed up by so many things these days... La Gloton, Halloween, Howe's bones... 
 * Phoebe: R-Ringmistress?
 * Penelope: What happened?
 * Euryale.(Fate.hollow.ataraxia).full.2230507.jpgHelene: I just hate this tomb underneath the museum. If I can get out, I'll hunt the killer down and killed him or her anyway! During that horrid debarcle years ago, so many bad things started to happen, and no one actually care about a serial killer unless they became that killer's victim... like my mother. You know how much I resent La Gloton, my dear twins, Penelope and Phoebe. However, I'm currently fraustrated by another bad news which would compromise us as well. Your report helps me nothing at all.
 * Penelope: Another bad news?
 * Helene: I'm not sure whether this La Gloton is a copycat or now. Police recently caught some copycats who just took the killer's name to draw attentions or even pulling pranks, but this one seemed gone too far... However, before we discuss this, I'll tell you that our basement had an intruder.
 * X00_00_01--2F0180307-09E553M4-0Z.pngTwins: WHAT!?
 * Phoebe: What? How's it possible!?
 * Penelope: It can't be. I thought... I thought the Persian had done much of the security work as the manager of this museum, but how can we...
 * Helene: Fortunately, we have take this man down as soon as possible to avoid another time bomb to go off.
 * Twins: Phew......

Flashback - A Day Ago
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from Melting Wax of a Face

<p style="text-align:center;"> October 2013 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Sleepy Hollow Art Museum 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Underground 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Stairways to the Basement 

''The Art Museum has its new manager, its prideful, incompetent and greedy new manager... and even worse, on his side, there comes his narcissistic wife that is in some sort of messiah complex. She wanted the Art Museum, and she wanted it new.''

''The lavish and flamboyant taste is the middle name of Mrs. Dora Dorian's style. She gives zero care to those people who have real talents but are from rural eras. Every towns has its elitists, and Dora is among those in Sleepy Hollow.''

''"Nah, Bouquet, are you all right?" Dora scornfully glared at the footman in front of her. "Tell me that you agree to make me revise the basement. So many rats and balloons inside this place, I wonder who lives under it. Clowns? Rat catchers? Some rat-catching clowns? Bleh, I don't like it! I want it lavish! I want it less composed and more flamboyant, as much as possible."''

''The footman of hers had a name, Javier Bouquet. However, in front of his mistress, he's so petty and insignificant and pitiful that he can't even had his last name been mentioned by his mistress.''

''"Madam, all due respect," quivered Javier, out of pure fear. "I heard the underground basement is the only place in the whole museum... that is a place where Mr. Harrison forbids us to go. Rumors also says that there's a monster beneath..."''

''Dora clapped her paper fan on her hand, scorned, "Forbidden? Ha, that's the old rules! That Harold Harrison is no longer this museum's manager!" She knocked Javier's head with a fan, "My husband is the new manager, which makes me Mrs. Manager!"''

"But..."

"No but. No excuses. Think about it. If you help me in revising this basement, then you'll stay beside me and my husband, with all of those fancy days you can take care of. Who believes that strange tale, which a monstrous recluse lives under the basement?"

''All of a sudden, just as Dora finished, an eerie cry come from the basement's deeper corner. Javier was freaked out and he immediately leaped back one step. It was like a cat being injured and cried with all of its force. It was like souls weeping inside the deepest pits of Hell.''

''In illusions, Javier saw several balloons of all colors floating towards him, but then those balloons began to multiply until it turned into thousands of balloons of all colors and patterns, including but not limited to red, blue, orange, yellow... and predominately, pink. There are more plain pink balloons than any other balloons. However, after a blink, he found that all of those balloons are gone.''

"I don't like this place... I guess we should leave it alone."

''However, Dora immediately kicked his hips. Letting out a cry, Javier rolled all the way into the basement from the stairs. Ruthlessly, Dora yelled at Javier with no empathy, "If you don't report the situation in the basement and come up a solution to revise its design, in no more than 2 hours... You'll stay in here and rot in here!"''

''Dora then slammed the door and left. Poor Javier fell himself from the staircase and slammed his face on the ground. He then tried hard to stood up, even if his body was so painful that it never actually wanted to do what he asked.''

"What is this place?"

''Javier looked around after struggling to get himself up, holding the torch in his hand and opened it. All of a sudden, the candles beside him began to lit up, illuminating the whole chamber. Javier looked around with a terrified expression. He was shocked to find that the room was full of carnival masks and clown masks. There were also helium balloons not far away.''

''This time, it was no longer some kind of illusions. It is the real balloons, in many colors including blue, purple and pink.'' ''Javier got more and more scared and intense. She then heard some music box playing in a swift yet eerie tune.'' ''Javier went more and more tensed and strange. The basement might have many strange stuff, but how could someone ever owe a circus underneath the Art Museum? Is there someone else living here?'' ''Javier saw several wax statues of clowns beside the balloons as he walked and surveyed deeper into the corners of this basement. He was trembling in fear, but the more fear he got, the more curious he got. He wanted to know the secrets, in spite of his fear. Those statues were grotesque, in the style that combined Dali and Picasso, while having its own eerie style.'' ''Javier's greatest fear was the clowns, and now he was horrified that he was surrounded by several was statues of clowns. Just as he was about to leave, Javier turned back and find out those life-sized statues were gone. Instead, there were real clowns with make ups and masks.'' ''The clowns walked closer to Javier in an intimidating face, and Javier stepped back on the staircase with two trembled legs. Then, more peopled joined in approaching him, like people with dyed hairs, people with deformity, and people with all kinds of physical abnormalities, similar to a surreal freak show in front of him.'' ''Javier was so terrified that he almost lost his balance. Then, he turned back and tried to leave, but his way was blocked by several balloons, several blue and pink balloons.''
 * (There is a circus down here?)
 * (Wax statues)
 * You_can_fly_like_the_balloon_by_buguanle-d3dqmcm.jpg(Wait... what's the...)
 * (OH! THE TERROR!)
 * (WHO ARE THEY? WHO ARE THEY? WHY ARE THEY HERE!?)

There was a young girl behind the balloons. ''Javier then pushed the balloons aside and walked straight to the girl. He found out that the girl's hair color can swift itself from brown to white and then to rosy pink, but he didn't care.'' ''Then, he immediately noticed that the girl was wearing a mask, with her visage was decorated in white wax roses. Javier then tried not to be a coward, so he tore the mask from the face of the girl...''
 * (This must be this prank's ringleader!)

"Take it down, you little..."

''Javier didn't even finish his words, and he cannot finish it. He torn down the girl's mask, and then he saw a face that was so grotesque that he couldn't really tell.''

''It was a quasi-liquefied face bubbling like some kind of melting auburn wax, dripping thick liquid on the ground.. The face of the girl was bubbling and was expressing putrid smells, as if it was boiling. The shape was also unstable, but that was what makes it terrifying. The girl had no nose, and her mouth was fully covered in wax. In spite of this, it then wide opened, showing a crescent-like mouth and a pile of taloned teeth.''

''Javier was terrified... No, he was more than terrified. All of his sanity suddenly broke into pieces as he cannot describe the deformity in front of him other than Melting Wax of a Face, but even that was not enough to describe the girl's deformity. Comparing to this visage, all of his imagination of the monsters in basement seemed like child's play and sweet dreams.''

''Then, he could felt nothing but a strain on his neck. The girl wrapped his neck with a lasso... a noose... to strangle it.'' ''Javier felt his breath faded away as the rope got tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter, and then, he felt nothing but a overwhelming shadow of blackness surrounding him. The mask on his hand fell on the ground, and one second later, it was his turn, lying dead.''
 * (WHAT THE HELL)

''Helene Hawthorn looked at the strangled man in front of her and firmly crouched in front of him. She picked up the mask and put it back on her rotten and deformed face, her face like molten wax.''

"Like always, Sleepy Hollow can be someone's home... It can also be someone's tomb. For me, this is art's room. Someone so lousy will meet his doom."

She then left the staircase, with all of those balloons following her behind, and the clowns went on behind the balloons and following her into the deeper and deeper darkness.

<p style="text-align:center;">'' "Not to mention... that he saw MY FACE!!!" ''

Nowadays
''Penelope then held her chin with her hand and narrowed her gaze. She looked very thoughtful.'' ''Hearing Penelope mentioned about the Light Lord's most treasured artifact, Helene's look began to soften, and she started to observe a pink ruby on her collar. She started to calm herself down. It is now very obvious that the said artifact is this stone.'' ''Helene then grabbed the stone tightly and closed her eyes. Tears streamed down her cheeks as her body started to tremble.'' ''Helene then wiped her tears. She stood up and put her hand into her pocket.'' ''Helene then revealed a letter from her pocket and gave it to Penelope. She knew that some members in the Merry Melody can walk in the public as long as they don't give out their identity.'' ''Penelope took the letter and placed her inside her pocket. The letter was sealed by pink wax. A sygil of a sun was carved on it.'' ''Helene regards Selina as her sister, so much as many other younger members in the Order, showing their close bond with her. After an argument with Phyllis, Selina fell sick and feverish. Later, she got much better, but she was still angry at Phyllis and refused to join her dinner party as a result.'' Helene then started at the two with confusion, as the twins began to whimper. ''Helene then sighed and covered her head in anger. She wasn't lashing out at the twins, though. Her facial expression soon transformed into a much more hurting face, as if some sad things happened right in front of her own eyes.''
 * Penelope: That's a good news. If our basement was compromised, considering so many danger - with the priority as La Gloton - then the Order of Flourish's safety will be no more... We're guarding the Light Lord's most treasured artifact, after all.
 * Helene: I don't understand why I cannot make the soul inside this stone talk... I want to know who exactly claimed her life...
 * Helene: I don't want the answer to be La Gloton... I want to know the true name of the killer, so that I'll yell that name out once I strike that beast down with my blade!
 * Helene: By the way, as for the trespassing, you must warn the Persian about the intruder. No one would enter this dark basement unless I approve it.
 * Helene: That man had broke my chains of command inside this museum, and I don't know if this is a sign to those turn of events... The order should be maintained in this museum, as well as this town. Otherwise, we'll all die in the demonic invasions once it happened.
 * Helene: By the way, tell others to keep an eye on Ichabod Crane and Abbie Mills, please. I'm having problems trusting those two, but as long as they still fight Moloch's forces while staying in our good side, they're safe for us. However, if they have anything which might compromise our goods, tell me. Since our sister, Selina Strawberry, was recovered from her recent feverish illness, I guess she'll take care of them.
 * Phoebe: Consider it done, Ringmistress. By the way, we still want to ask you something. Take no offense...
 * TCR_murders.jpgPhoebe: Um... How do you view La Gloton, Ringmistress?
 * Helene: La Gloton... I see La Gloton... as one of those pitiful things... sometimes born in hospitals. They feed it, keep it warm, but they don't put in on the machines... They let it die... but it doesn't die.

<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Helene: It looks normal... and nobody can tell what it is.'

October 30th
<p style="text-align:center;"> The Next Day 

<p style="text-align:center;"> October 30th 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 day to the Dinner Party 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Sleepy Hollow Historical Society 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Hall of the Art Museum 

''The Sleepy Hollow has its own art museum owned by Sleepy Hollow Historical Society, which stood for nearly a century before this year. There were some myths about a ghost or pixie hiding inside the place and would play tricks on those who disrespect the value of arts. People calls it "Mirage of Art".''

''No one know who he or she is... except one person, Harold Harrison, the museum's manager. With him being a multiratical man between French and Persian, while he born in Iran and immigrated to the United States, Harold is often called as Persian by many townspeople.''

''However, Harold is no longer manager... Now, he was revoked from duty by the historical society. On October 30th, the museum was celebrating its annual Halloween fair, but unlike years before, Harold wasn't presented. Instead, there was its new manager and his wife, along with its new patron, a woman known as Lillian Lime. The director of Historical Society was there, too. Most of them were celebrating, but Lillian seemed saddened.'' ''The new manager is a younger man, much younger than Harold. The new manager seemed to be 30 years old. Lillian looked at the new manager with concern, but the manager shook his head with a nonchalant smile.''
 * Lillian: Can't we just invite Mr. Harrison to this place, sir?
 * New Manager: No, what makes you say that?





''Harold stared at the actor in green hair. The green-haired man handed the letter to Harold and looked at the Persian in the eyes.'' ''Alfonso was horror-stricken when he already saw the envelope. With his trembling hands, Harold carefully touched the letter, before he quickly snatched from Alfonso. Alfonso then silently walked away like a perfect Roman soldier, but when he passed by the new manager and his wife, he leered at them in some confusion.'' ''They didn't notice him, or they didn't care about him. They both stared at Harold, who stared at the letter in a pale face, feeling the grizzly chill coming up to his spine. Alfonso sighed and walked out of the hall in a face of apathy.'' As Dora was panicked, Pedro immediately walked to Dora and kissed her hand, trying to comfort her. ''Pedro and his guards immediately led Dora into her room, while Harold stood in his former spot with blank shock. The new manager, Choleti, was there as well.'' ''Harold stared at the letter, which he already pulled out when Choleti angrily rebuked him. He saw the name "Javier Bouquet" on it.'' ''Hearing that Bouquet was sent to investigate the basement of this museum, Harold froze in shock. Then, he calmed himself down and passed the letter calmly to Choleti.'' ''Choleti stared at Harold, bemused and confused, prior to land his sight over the letter, surveying the letter carefully. It said, "Javier Boquet had violated the rule of this museum."'' Choleti heard the word "phantom", of which Harold spoke slowly and clearly. ''Before Harold could finish, Choleti bursted into a mad laughter as if he just heard some bad joke and tried to moke the storyteller. Harold stared at Choleti as if looking at a fool fooling himself.'' Hearing this, Choleti stopped laughing and shook his head in sheer disbelief. ''Helplessly, Choleti walked towards Harold in a serious face, staring angrily at him. Harold was clearly fraustrated, feeling upset to be wronged.'' ''Choleti pushed the letter back into Harold's hand and walked away with hubris. Harold glared at Choleti who was walking all the way out of the Hall. Just then, with music coming from piano and trumpets, the glass window behind Harold suddenly opened, revealing themselves as doors to secret passages. Several masked clowns walked out of the passages and stood behind Harold.'' ''A deep and stern female voice came behind the clowns, and it echoed through the hall. Now, the light of the hall turned into a pinkish hue when the woman spoke. Harold was dismayed and wandered at the center of this hall.'' ''Harold looked at the ceiling as if the person talking to him was there. The speaker was revealed to be none other than Helene Hawthorn. Harold tried to find Helene, but he only found a portrait of a clown girl wearing top hat, suddenly appearing and hanging in front of him.'' ''Helene answered in a softer voice, but still stern, no less. Harold was shocked and stepped back, when he realized that Helene had killed people.'' ''Harold then caught sight of a vision that a dark hand stretched from the darkness, waving for help, with light shone behind it. However, the light disappeared as soon as the hand sank into the darkness below it, leaving no trace of its former existence at all.'' ''Harold then heard Helene's answer, which is far more broken and sad. The clown face on the portrait soon became sadder, with a large frown on her face.'' Gulped, Harold silently listen to Helene speaking in a sad voice before the voice turned its tone into a more furious one all of a sudden... ''Harold gulped when he heard Helene spoke this. The voice of Helene no longer sound like a normal human girl, but a witch coming from the deepest part of forest. He felt horrified by Helene's words simply by listening to it, before all of a sudden, Helene bursted into a fit of rage and screamed out.''
 * Achilles_fate_apocrypha_by_shirashura-dc6oa9d.jpgHarold: What is it, Alfonso?
 * Alfonso: This is for you, sir. I'm sorry. She's not pleased with you.
 * Alfonso: ..............................
 * Dora: What happened? There's a "mirage" in this museum?
 * 65619590_p0_master1200.jpgPedro: Please don't worry. Just follow me and I'll lead you to your room...
 * Choleti: What the hell is this on about? Explain this to me!
 * Harold: Who is this "Javier Bouquet"?
 * Choleti: He's the costume assistant of my wife. My wife called him to investigate this museum, including its basement. What do you mean?
 * Harold: Maybe that man discovered something inside the basement.
 * 69652675_p11_master1200.jpgCholeti: What is this?
 * Harold: A letter written by a phantom.
 * Choleti: Phantom? What the heck?
 * Harold: It's a phantom who lives beneath this museum...
 * Choleti: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
 * Harold: What's so funny? Anyway, well, um, this phantom lives around a small lake inside the basement, near the sewers. It only want us to follow one certain code; never intrude the basement without its permission.
 * Harold: Your wife's costume assistant might never heard of the rule set by this little ghost, was he?
 * Choleti: Harold? You need to set up a bound when you make some joke out of your sense of sick humor.
 * Harold: I'm not joking! No one who broke the code shall ever come back alive!
 * Choleti: Stop telling me about that, Harold. You just made up a lie so that you can make me leave the place. I tell you this. There is no ghost in this museum, and I don't believe in fairy tales!
 * ???: What in God's name is going on here?
 * Optiko.jpgHarold: Helene... Is Javier Bouquet dead?
 * Helene: Yes... He's dead. I killed him.
 * Harold: You...
 * Harold: Why did you try to do this? I thought we agreed not to hurt anyone. Why did you go so far to take his life? Why can't you spare him?
 * Helene: "Why," you ask? Isn't it obvious? He clearly disobeyed the rule of this museum... He came into a place where he should never have come...
 * Helene: ... and most importantly... If I didn't spare this one person, thousands would have come and raid my home in order to get me - to get all of us. He knew too much. He discovered my darkest secret. He discovered where we live...



<p style="text-align:center;"> '- Helene: ... AND HE SAW MY FACE!!!'

''Harold trembled in shock and stepped back, but then, out of shame, Harold lowered his head and eventually succumbed to his sense of guilt. He acted like a soldier surrendering to his enemies.''
 * WXY00_00_01--20180307-09553M4-0Z.pngd: .................!!

''While Helene was speaking, the clowns stepped away and the wall opened. A bunch of playing card bursted out behind the door and spreaded on the ground like falling firework sparks. Behind Harold, a stairway all the way down to the basement appeared.'' Harold turned back and calmly walked towards the passage, with the clowns following him at the back.
 * Harold: How can this happen? How can this happen...
 * Helene: Sorry, Mr. Harrison, but I've been really... really angry these days. All of those rumors... about that murderous monster who killed my mother... La Gloton... but I had to stay in this place.
 * Helene: Come down, please, Mr. Harrison. You have my approval. I need to talk to you.
 * Harold: Of course.

<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minute later <p style="text-align:center;"> Underground Chamber

''Harold walked all the way down the stairways, seeing several fake trees drawn by crayon. The leaves on the tree were falling just like the real trees when it was in autumn. Harold nervously walked pass the passage, the was statues, the masks and then, he arrived in the underground circus inside the basement.'' ''Harold looked around to find where Helene was, and then he saw Helene sitting on a wooden elephant set on a carosel. Helene stood up walked downstairs, away from the carousel.'' Harold walked closer towards Helene in a guilt-ridden expression, before he stopped six feet before her. ''Helene widened her eyes in surprise, and she gulped nervously and stared at Harold. Now, Helene was dressed in her musterkeer outfit, with her hat on the top of her head, while the pink ruby was on her necktie.'' ''Helene sternly asked Harold. She tried to sound polite but it eventually sounded condescending. Harold lowed down his head, acting like a child in front of his stern mother.'' "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?" ''Helene was surprised by Harold's words, and Harold nodded before he looked around in grief. Helene stared at Harold, cannot believed what was happening.'' "...................................." ''Trying to force herself a smile, Helene walked much closer to Harold. Helene was a very petite figure, barely over five feet tall, and she seemed very pale, skinny and even malnourished.'' She pointed at the stone on her neck as she walked closer to Harold, until he was just two inches close to her face. ''Just then, Alfonso and the twins walked downstairs and stood among the clowns. Now, they all wore clown masks and stood around the circus like a group of life-sized action figures. Harold looked at the clowns and widened his gaze.'' Helene shook her head and let out a sad chuckle, but it only lasted for one second. ''Helene then walked towards the clowns, tendering them in a sad face. Some of the clowns were disabled, and some were deformed. Helene also walked towards a table, where several rats was surrounding a candle. Helene lowered her head and stared at those rats.'' ''While speaking, Helene then prepared cheese to feed these rats, and she happily watched as they gathered around the cheese pieces to feast on them. Helene chuckled like a child, before it grew cold and turned into a sad smile.'' ''Helene didn't actually continue. She merely looked at the masked face inside a mirror.'' Helene then turned back to Harold and walked towards him once again, standing close in front of him. With a sad face, Harold shrugged his shoulder and looked at the ground helplessly. ''Helene sighed and walked towards a chair, staring at a portrait of a black-haired woman in front of her. She narrowed her gaze and started to drop tears, biting her lips in agony.'' ''Helene stared at the portrait of her own mother with great care. Her fingertip touched the face of woman with tender... before all of a sudden, a loud and eerie singing voice came from the upstairs.'' ''Helene quickly stood up and wiped her tears. She then looked around with horror. She tried to figure out who made such a voice like wolf's howling. The clowns were startled as well.'' ''Alfonso and the twins had to cover their ear to avoid the noise, and Harold was standing in his spot, sighed. On the wall, there were murals of white deer painted with colorful dots. Those deer in crayon forest were startled by such a strange and horrible voice of singing. No longer bearing it anymore, Helene immediately turned to look at the portrait of her mother.'' ''Hiding the portrait with a red blanket, Helene then quickly stormed to Harold, standing in front of him. Harold bit his lips in a embarrased face, as if it was saying "I don't know her" for several times.'' ''Harold gulped and answered in embarrasement. Helene was mildly confused. She didn't heard of Dora Dorian.'' ''Shocked and speechless, Helene took a deep breath as she tried not to faint, tremble or flinch by such a horrible voice from a self-proclaimed diva. She couldn't bear it anymore and immediately shouted at the ceiling, while being regardless of the fact that she cannot be heard.'' ''Complaining everything she deduced from Dora - lack of skills, lack of fame and completely vain - Helene stomped her feet on the ground, screaming in agony, but her voice was covered by Dora's singing voice. The voice stopped. Now, Dora was inside her room and drank a cup of water from her maid.'' ''Helene almost slipped on the ground when she heard this. She was shocked and panicked when she heard about Dora's identity.'' Clearly fraustrated, Helene started to walk in circle within the hall angrily. ''When Helene was finished, the sharp voice of Dora started to rush into the basement once again. This time, it was even more horrible. Helene and the clowns were disturbed. Helene quickly went to comfort her rats, as they went panicked and started to squeeing.  Feeling unbearable, Helene then made a fingersnap and summoned the clowns to her side. Helene pointed at the stairways to the top, and several clowns - including Alfonso and the twins went upstairs with their masks, disappearing into the darkness.''
 * Helene: Come closer, please.
 * 68677855_p0_master1200.jpgHelene: Why did you allow him to come here? Did he have my permit?
 * Harold: I have no idea that he came down to this place, Helene.
 * Helene: Isn't your job to take care of this museum while I'm on your side, sir?
 * Harold: I... I was fired.
 * Helene: Fired?
 * Harold: That's why such thing happened.
 * Helene: Oh, haha, I see... How awful.
 * Helene: I once tried to use this as a base to find the truth behind La Gloton. Eight years has now passed, and still I'm unable to unlock the code of this stone.
 * Helene: Now, we're nearly homeless. So, what are we going to do next?
 * Harold: I don't know.
 * Harold: By the way, we have them, haven't we? They can help us out.
 * Helene: Why? These people were once orphans and vagrants, those who were abandoned by this merciless society under America's democratic skin. Some of them have problems doing certain things due to their unfortunate disability. That's why I never call myself an American as much as I prefer "French-Persian".
 * Helene: And my rats... My pets and my childhood friends who didn't mind my masks.. That's why I like some certain animals. Some animals has their spirits and that's why they can become our good friends. Cats, puppies, and mice...
 * Helene: Hmm, all of them needs to rely on me. If we lost our place to stay, they would starve as well. I need to find food and supply for them, but now...
 * Helene: Oh, God, how I wish I can be beautiful, but it has zero possiblity for now.
 * Helene: By the way, did your successor believe the legend of this museum's ghost?
 * Harold: Sorry, he didn't. I try to warn against him but he didn't give any care.
 * Helene: All right... How disturbing.
 * Helene: Have you heard this, mother? Your girl failed you. Helene cannot fulfill her promise to avenge you... because this museum has changed upside down.
 * Dora: OOOOOOOOH---AAAAAAAA--
 * Alfonso: What the hell is this?
 * WXYZ00_00_01--20180307-09553M4-0Z.pngPhoebe: No idea.
 * Penelope: We only discover that it's even more horrible than a crying wraith.
 * 69630241_p0_master1200.jpgHelene: Apologies, mommy.
 * Helene: Whose voice is this?
 * Harold: It's obviously Dora Dorian.
 * Helene: Who is she?
 * Harold: She'll be the so-called lead diva in the museum's stage play, as well as the opera house. She'll even become a mentor for art student. That man you killed is her costume assistant.
 * Helene: But... she can't sing! By the way, she's not on the list of those artists in this town I've heard of. How could she become the mentor when other more famous people were ignored?
 * Harold: Perhaps, she doesn't aware of her lack of singing skills or her low rating, but she's a rather vainglourious person anyway.
 * Helene: Oh, no, someone needs to bring her a wake-up call. She needs to know how inferior she is.
 * 69149725_p0_master1200.jpgHarold: I don't think we're able to talk into her. She's the wife of that new manager. The authority believed she'll make this museum much more glorified with her decorations, as they considered the museum... too plain.
 * Helene: The wife of that new manager? The museum is too plain? This museum is built upon the resident of John Adams' family in Sleepy Hollow! Its plain facade hides the value of its historical and cultural meaning! It has its own glory even without decorations.
 * Harold: I told them so, but they just don't listen.
 * Helene: So, this means she'll take over many stuff in this museum and wrap it in vulgar and empty tastes?
 * Helene: It's so outrageous to think that you left such a rotten problem upon this town!
 * Helene: Good Lord! I hate this part! I'D RATHER DIE THAN HEARING SUCH AN EERIE SCREECH!
 * Helene: I'll let her know who owns this museum!

<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minute later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Dora's Room 

''It didn't actually took too long for the clowns to reach Dora Dorian's room. They went inside a narrow secret passage and crawled into the room through the chimney. They then came out from the furnace and slowly getting closer to the unawared Dora and her maid silently. Now, Dora was having a cup of water from the maid and took a rest casually.'' ''However, all of a sudden, the light gone off. Dora felt the plate in her maid's hand started to fly towards her face. The cup on the plate then capsized like a boat in a storm and sprayed the water on the face of Dorian. Then, a large Christmas pudding was crashed on the maid, while Dorian was pushed by unseen forces in the dark. Now, they didn't know that the clowns were trolling her.''

Then, the clowns pushed the two women into each other, causing them to scream in horror and shock, before they went away, leaving Dora and her maid screamed in horror as soon as they pushed against each other, even snapping at each other like a couple of terriers.
 * Dora & Maid: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minute later <p style="text-align:center;"> Underground Chamber

Laughed like a happy kid, Helene grabbed her hat and almost danced in joy when she heard Dora and her maid screamed in horror, before the scream went down into silence. After a brief moment of elation, Helene calmed herself down and shook her head sadly. Harold nodded in dismay. Helene gulped and immediately went forward to Harold, and in the next second, she'll hold her hand... but she didn't. She stopped when she stood in front of Harold just one inch close. ''Helene blinked sadly and her hands shook in sadness. She pushed her hat down and looked at the ground with sheer fraustration.'' Helene then removed the red blanket on her mother's portrait and looked at it with a sigh. ''Harold went to Helene and petted her shoulder. He then looked at the portrait sorrowfully.'' ''Harold's word made Helene fell into silence. Harold then turned back and walked away.'' ''Harold then slowly went upstairs and left the basement. Helene then raised her head from the portrait. The twins went back with Alfonso and other clowns, and Helene turned back to look at her childhood friends.'' ''The twins nodded and disappared into the darkness, followed by several more clowns after them. They were now nowhere to find. The light of circus went off as well, and Helene was the only person visible in the basement beneath a silver limelight above her. In a gloomy face, Helene began to sing.'' Helene then sat down as she continued to sing, but then her song turned into a much more inspiring and cheerful tone, with much more confident voice (and with a tune based on Yeston's Where in the World). Helene then stood up and started to smile, with her voice now turned more hopeful and cheerful. ''Helene then fell intoxicated by her voice that everything around her seemed to disappeared. Her voice echoed inside the room, being a voice much better and sweeter than the vainglourious woman upstairs.'' ''Helene then looked at the light above her, as if it was God showing His mercy towards her. She was now fully and clearly drenching inside her own wish.''
 * D2f056d.jpgHelene: HAHAHAHAHAHA!
 * Helene: They must be fainted after fighting each other. Ha, well done, boys! We made them scaring themselves!
 * Helene: However, this prank might not last forever and it cannot change anything. So, this woman will teach those students from now on and sing in opera house to those citizens who just want to have fun?
 * Harold: She wants to take over literally everything in this artistic domain.
 * Helene: That's unforgivable. Then, I'll leave this place with you, monseiur!
 * Knife-blood.jpgHarold: Helene...
 * Helene: However, I know this is impossible. This town can tolerate a serial killer, but it can never in the least tolerate difference. That's what made La Gloton gone quiet for eight years, and all police captured were copycats, before the so-called curse descended upon themselves. I know the truth. This is no curse. This is a conspiracy. However, would they believe me? As long as I leave this place, they will come and get me. The townspeople fears an ugly and eccentric people even more than a killer, I guess. 
 * Helene: My mother once promised me to send her angel of art to me, saying that angel would be what enlight my light and path. Now, the angel didn't come, while the devil took my mother's life. I know I cannot leave this darkness without some other people's help... someone who shares my idea, someone who can understand me, beside you and my friends. He'll come here from the outside world and light my life with gloom, and he'll bring me a chance to go outside in order to search out the truth and find a meaning in my life. However, this is really a chance in a million.
 * Harold: I'm sorry, but I believe the day would come when the said angel arrives. Even without me, you can find someone else that can save you and this entire circus from its darkness underground. The angel would come.
 * Harold: I must go now. Farewell.
 * Helene: All of you, please, take a rest. I need some personal space here.
 * Helene: ♪ Where is the path that leads out of this place now that all has been changed on this day? Where is the sense of the life that I lead now that art's been taken away? Why was I born to this grave, languishing deep in this tomb? Oh, for an angel with heavenly voice to arrive and restore a small glimmer of light to my gloom... ♪
 * Helene: ♪ Where in the world we can find my new hope / Filled with new kind friends who are both kind and normal / We want to escape from the dark / And find the respect in this town we all desired...
 * Helene: ♪ Where in the world can I find my peace / Even dragging my feeble body which is not what you like to see / Where in the world can I find / The voice of that angel who can caress my soul / Even with the distance / I can feel him coming towards me / He'll show me the meaning of my life ♪
 * Helene: ♪ Ah, the voice of God is calling upon me / I pray the fate will make you to me / Make me out of the darkness and find my peace / How I wish to leave this despair forever ♪
 * Helene: ♪ The voice does exist in some part of this world / It can enlight my road to bring back the truth I always desired / Ahhhhhh... ♪

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Helene: ♪ Even I search to the end of this world, I'll eventually find the trace of angel's light! ♪ '

''After finishing her song full of her dreams, her dreams of leaving the darkness and solitude, her wish to hunt down La Gloton with the help of her guide, Helene quickly walked upstairs with a face of stern and anger. She hates the corrosion inside this museum. She hates her own darkest secret. She hates the killer who claimed many life... However, she cannot take any actions when she and Merry Melody stayed inside the darkness.'' ''The angel she was waiting... Will he come? Even Helene isn't sure. All that supported her was her belief. Being fully aware of this, Helene disappeared into the darkness.''
 * Helene: This is not just for me... This is for the whole town and its beauty. When my own darkness is over and I earn my freedom, La Gloton will be discovered... AND PERISH!

''With a case file in her hand, Selina carefully walked cross the corridor, passing by the police officers standing by her, carefully not to knock down anyone by running. She went towards the hallroom and looked for Abbie Mills. However, when she was running and looking around, someone hit her right in her abdomen. Selina lost her balance and flinched several step. She quickly reacted by waving her arms and tipped her toes in order to regain her balance. However, the one who hit her fell on the ground.''
 * 69906765_p0_master1200.jpgSelina: Lt. Mills?

Selina immediately 
 * Selina: Ah, apologies!







<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minute later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Forensic Department 

''Abbie and Luke stared at the dead body... or two dead bodies on the stretcher. They reacted in surprise. One body belonged to the missing driver who was on duty in carrying General Howe's corpse, and another was the same teenage boy who was killed by Howe and his men inside that catatomb. However, much to Abbie's shock, those bodies were mutilated and disembowed, with their organs missing.''
 * 105Luke.pngAbbie: Isn't this...

''Ichabod Crane stood not far away from the police and started to take a look at the boy's corpse. Devon was telling his own analysis to the others, while Gregory looked at the proud policeman skeptically.'' Ichabod controlled his feelings and continue to hear Devon making his analysis. Gregory crossed his arms and walked towards Ichabod Crane, saying his doubts. Immediately afterwards, Gregory then turned to Ichabod awkwardly and tried to make a handshake. ''Ichabod looked at Gregory awkwardly, before he made a handshake with him. Devon simply ignored them and tried to state his point once again.'' ''Hearing this, Gregory snarled at Devon and leered at him maliciously. Luke made a cough and walked to Ichabod, with a photo in his hand. He gave the photo to Ichabod, Abbie and Gregory to take a look on it.'' ''Never did Ichabod saw such a disturbing murder in an non-supernatural way. Somehow, it gave him even more chills than demonic curses or murders, since the killer was, no doubt, a mere human after all.'' ''Selina and Ichabod stared at the photo, with Selina took a deep breath and looked at the M.O with disgust. However, Luke and Devon still tried to discuss on the organ harvesting.''
 * Luke: Well, another homicide.
 * Ichabod: (think) * This is... that boy whom Howe killed. Why is he here? What happened to him? *
 * Devon: We found them in a school bus, sitting across an asile by themselves. We find no connections between these two victims. Not only did La Gloton take their kidney... but also they took their hearts, which, if you'll recall, is what they tried to do in the hotel, but was interrupted before they could paint the picture.
 * Gregory: La Gloton wasn't paining a picture in that hotel. Someone else was.
 * Gregory: I'm Gregory Gatsby, the town's chess champion. Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Crane.
 * Devon: You still think that he was ripping out a heart to save a life?
 * Gregory: Yes, I do.
 * Luke: La Gloton painted this picture for sure, with their big, broad strokes. That victim in the hotel is currently disputed, though I hate to admit this. The hotel victim died alone in his room, with the cleaner and staff - just a few of them - as its only witness, while these victims were all witnessed by either the public, or their close ones . Like Gregory always said, it's a public shaming.
 * Ichabod: Could all three victims' organs have been harvested for transplants?
 * Selina: Subtle variation on waking up a tub of ice missing a kidney? 
 * Luke: I love good urban legends. You could put the organs on a ventilator long enough to coordinate the donation.
 * Devon: At the hotel, the victim's abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava -- that's like the kidney's in-and-out for food -- were entirely removed.
 * Selina: They're like USB Cables. You keep them intact for an easy reconnect.

''Ichabod didn't know much of the USB Cables, but he had deduced their point. Abbie stared at the report in her hand and sighed sadly.'' Selina then narrowed her gaze and looked at the photos in the hotel, before looking at the two victims. Abbie's words interrupted what Selina was thinking, and she immediately looked at Abbie as she stated her point. Gregory closed his eyes nervously. Ichabod raised his hand and bit his lips as he looked at everyone in the eyes. ''Gregory and Selina looked at each other in dismay and shame. Gregory then paced towards Ichabod, with some tears rolling in his eyes.'' "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ichabod heard Gregory's words in surprise, even shock, but Gregory simply closed his eyes and allowed tears flowed down his cheeks.
 * Abbie: Were these two's hearts and kidneies disconnected for easy reconnect?
 * Devon: Yep.
 * Abbie: Um, other La Gloton victims... Their organs and USB Cables missing?
 * Devon: It's inconclusive due to the degree of mutilation, but yes, that is how La Gloton kills.
 * Selina: (think) * This is outrageous. Such a case happened right in the time where General Howe's body were missing. I guess it must be related. *
 * Abbie: You mean...
 * Abbie: Two killers, one agenda?
 * Luke: Is the organ harvester disguising his work as the crimes of a serial killer, or a serial killer disguising his crime as an organ harvester?
 * Gregory: La Gloton wants to perform. Every brutal choice has... elegance... and grace. Their mutilations hide the true nature of their crime.
 * Ichabod-ichabod-crane-sleepy-hollow-tv-series-37189445-1038-720.jpgIchabod: Excuse me.
 * Abbie: Crane?
 * Ichabod: If this murder took place for eight years and more, why didn't any townspeople help the police to take actions? The victim's family? The ordinary citizens? If they did something, this so-called La Gloton would be apprehended. 
 * Gregory: Sorry, Mr. Crane... They no longer care about it.
 * Ichabod: What?

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Gregory: They simply never asked whether the police had started an investigation. They became numb by the murder's contagious "curse". Even Captain Irving's own daughter almost became a victim. So, who do you think that will take risk to help us? They just try to avoid this as much as possible. Who will take risk if they don't even know if they can see the next sunrise? ''

Ichabod's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Horseman Saga - Seamstress (Prologue)

''Underneath the Manhattan Island, there were secret tunnels built by the patriots for transferring. On that day, Betsy Ross was leading patriot refugees off the island via this series of hidden tunnels. Holding her torch, Betsy and her team of refugees turned right and then, she saw Ichabod Crane with his torch coming towards her.'' ​Ichabod was very confused. ''​Betsy immediately went on her way and numerous patriots had followed her, holding candles in their hands. He did not know that Howe was deploying something sinister with the help of Van Bilj Family, who were under the control of both Moloch and Lady Van Tassel. They were not facing conventional forces... but a cadre of Drugur made of undead redcoats.''
 * ​Betsy: Crane...
 * Ichabod: Betsy... I come from Howe's encampment. He lives, and he refuses to relinquish the city.
 * Betsy: Our orders have changed. I'm getting out of the city before countermeasures are deployed.
 * HoweAndHisUndeadArmy.pngod: What countermeasures?
 * Betsy: Ichabod, please. There's no time.

The countermeasures Betsy referred to was an ancient substance known as the Greek Fire, which could destroy Howe's Drugur Army.



The Greek Fire was invented by the scientists of Byzantine Empire, and even though its complete production methods had surrounded in mystery, it was believed by many to be some kind of ancient napalm.

''However, the Greek Fire is far more sinister than napalm. It cannot be extinguished by water or by sand. Once unleashed, it burns until nothing remains.''

''Merely hours after the British invaded, just as Howe was checking his army, the city was set ablaze in the Great Fire of New York, the cause of which remained a mystery... until now.''



After transferring the patriot refugees to safety, Betsy ambushed the encampment of Howe alone, and she used a crossbow with fiery arrows ignited by the Greek Fire, killing every undead soldiers.
 * Betsy: RETREAT!

''As the flame started to lose control, Betsy immediately left with her horse and rode all the way towards safety, leaving the entire New York on fire. Howe managed to escape under his minions' protection.''



''The fire destroyed about one third of the city and some non-burned parts of the city were plundered. Many people believed or assumed that one or more people deliberately started the fire, for a variety of different reasons. British leaders accused revolutionaries acting within the city, and many residents assumed that one side or the other had started it.''

The fire had long-term effects on the British occupation of the city, which did not end until 1783.

In the next 20 minutes...

 * Phyllis: Braised Beef Lungs... Chicken Liver Pate... Parmesan Crumbled Lamb Brains... and...



<p style="text-align:center;">Using Howe's army as well as that unnamed organ harvester as decoys, Phyllis successfully prepared more dishes, as well as successfully murdered three more people by herself, while four more were killed thanks to Howe's soldiers, who killed them in a secret way while leaving the corpse for Phyllis to deal with.

<p style="text-align:center;">''She took buisness card from some of them and tracked them down with her demonic ability, in order to take their organs. However, she did some of them by herself, and some of those meat and organs were actually taken from Howe and his soldiers' victims.''

<p style="text-align:center;">''Now, Howe was gaining power from these victims and enhanced his army with it, in order to strike back and seek revenge upon Ichabod. Phyllis, in the meantime, was never actually suspected to be involved with all this, since the organ harvester was still at large.''

Later......
<p style="text-align:center;"> 10 minutes later

<p style="text-align:center;"> Forensics

''Now, deep inside the forensics, there were nearly half a dozen new bodies carried into the room. Irving, Luke, Devon, Selina and Gregory gathered around those corpses, while Devon stared at them and made long and detailed conclusions again.'' Devon then pointed at another body lying on the desk. ''As Devon were analyzing the body, Luke was also checking the forensic reports. Gregory walked pass those bodies and checked them out carefully, as Selina crossed her arms and narrowed her gaze. Irving stood next to her.''
 * Devon: They're all missing different organs. Before, we were looking at waiting lists for a heart and kidney. Now, we're looking at hearts, kidnies,  livers, stomachs, pancreases, lungs...  and this guy, who's missing a spleen !
 * Devon: A spleen! Who the hell needs a SPLEEN TRANSPLANT!?
 * Gregory: Intestines were the only organ missing from this body?
 * Luke: Yes, right, so we're either looking for someone with short bowels or... La Gloton is making sausage.



(Cuts to Phyllis grinding meat and making a string of sausages in her kitchen) ''Irving then walked closer and gazed into the corpses, and none of those people had noticed that Selina lifted her eyes up when she heard Luke saying La Gloton might used them for making sausage. However, she didn't think more.'' Hearing Luke's words, Irving, Selina and Gregory stared at Luke and Devon, as these guys started to make  wrong intepretation  on Chinese cultural taboo with a calm face. (- Narrator: Don't fully believe whatever he intepretated, please. Urban areas of China nowadays does support voluntary donations. Some countryside? That's another story, though. This traditional lecture is set for making everyone to take care of themselves, treasuring the values of life properly for the sake of their parents. That's all.) ''Much to Selina and Gregory's discomfort, Luke and Devon missed the point. They could stared each other and didn't even know what to say. Irving had already gone tired listening to these two saying things that didn't even match the point. He quickly interrupted Luke and Devon.'' ''Irving stopped the discussion and turned to Selina, who stared at the bodies with a blank dismay. By now, Gregory stopped wandering and stood beside Selina.'' ''Trying to force a confident smile, Gregory answered the question in the place of Selina. Now, Selina looked down at her toes in dismay and sighed.'' Gregory stopped smiling and bit his lips hard.
 * Irving: .......................
 * Selina: The killer is apparently selling the organs to someone.
 * Luke: We don't even know if he or she is selling this in the US. They could be exporting them to somewhere like China.
 * Selina: What's between this and China?
 * Devon: I believed the Chinese have a cultural taboo that restricts voluntary donation. "You gotta die with all your parts or you dishonor Mommy and Daddy." (身体发肤，受之父母，不敢毁伤，孝之始也. )
 * Luke: I mean, you could just kill a guy for parts. That doesn't break the taboo.
 * Devon: I was agreeing with you...
 * Irving: Okay, okay!
 * Irving: How many killers?
 * Gregory: At least two.
 * Irving: Are you confident one of them is La Gloton?
 * Gregory: At least one of them, yep.

Gregory's Hallucination
<p style="text-align:center;">' ??? '

<p style="text-align:center;"> Some Restaurant 

''With a gloomy expression on his visage, Gregory Grape sat inside a restaurant, in fromt of a round table. It was an English afternoon tea. Gregory was waiting for someone... although so it seemed. He seemed very confused. He looked at himself and was confused.''
 * Tea_at_the_Rittenhouse_Hotel.jpgGregory: Hmm...

''Gregory then touched his nose... He felt no glasses on his nose, but he could see things clearly...'' ''Gregory was surprised and he looked everywhere inside his cloths. He found no glasses inside any of his pockets. He then stood up and turned back, and then he saw himself in the mirror.'' ''Surprised and confused, Gregory found himself inside another form of physical appearance. Now, his hairstyle seemed messy, and he looked much less sophisicated.''
 * Gregory: What happened to my cloth?
 * Gregory: Where's my glasses?
 * Gregory: Wait... am I...
 * Gregory: Wait... am I getting... younger?



''Just as Gregory start admiring himself in the mirror, the door of restaurant opened. Gregory immediately reacted in surprise when he saw a monochormatic-haired man standing outside. Gregory immediately turned back and widened his gaze in shock.''
 * Gregory: Hmm, this is strange...
 * Gregory: You?



<p style="text-align:center;"> - Gregory: Alexandar? 

''The man named Alexandar immediately rushed into the door and sat in front of Gregory. He held a bunck of daisy inside his hands.'' Gregory then put his hand on his chin. ''Gregory then rolled his eyes and smiled. He quickly figured out what was going on.'' In satisfaction, Gregory stretched his arms and made a yawn. ''Alexander sighed in relief. Just as he was about to talk, the door opened again and another figure came into the room. It was a young teenage girl with a pair of blue eyes and lilac hair, dressed like a maid. She was holding a watch in her hand.''
 * 65745628_p0_master1200.jpgAlexandar: Sorry that I'm late.
 * Alexandar: I've been picking flowers for my sister's birthday, and so I'm late for this dinner. So sorry.
 * Gregory: (think) * Alexandar... Apricot? I though he was... dead ... Wait a minute. *
 * Gregory: (think) * So I'm traveling back in time... to a time point more tha eight years ago, where everything was normal. *
 * Gregory: Don't worry, my friend. As long as you and others are here, nothing else would matter anyway. I can wait.



<p style="text-align:center;">' - ???: Sorry. The traffic jam. '

Surprised, Gregory watched as the teenage girl named Lavenna Lavendar arrived into the room and sat on another seat, sitting between Gregory and Alexandar. ''Lavenna then wore a pair of glasses and peered at Gregory, who was staring at her in a nervous face. Gregory quickly calmed himself and looked away.'' ''Lavenna looked at Gregory in curiousity. Gregory tried to spoke, but now he was stuttered due to being nervous.'' ''Gregory's mind seemed to be messy, but Alexandar immediately spoke on behalf of his nervous friend.  Lavenna stared at the two for two seconds before she took off her glasses.'' Alexandar lowered his head and stared at his watch. ''Before Alexandar finished, the door opened once again. The three watched as they saw a tall man with red and white hair walked into the restaurant with a smile on his face.''
 * Izayoi.Sakuya.full.2317464.jpgGregory: Lavenna Lavender...
 * Lavenna: Hmm? What? You seemed nervous, Gregory.
 * Gregory: No, it's just, well... You're...
 * Lavenna: Hmm?
 * Gregory: (think) * She was still that friendly at the time. To think she hardly ever speak to me again after that incident... *
 * Alexandar: He, um, he means you're beautiful, Lavenna.
 * Lavenna: Well, thank you... By the way, now we have three in this place. Is there a fourth one? 
 * Alexandar: Well, that Dragonia hasn't...



<p style="text-align:center;"> - ???: Sorry, I'm late, folks. 

''The man then promptly sat on the only empty seat at Gregory's table. Alexandar chuckled.'' The man named Dragonia Dragonfruit smiled at Alexandar and chuckled politely. ''Lavenna blushed and giggled, covering her mouth with her gloved hands. Gregory smiling watched as they made jokes. Apparently, Lavenna and Dragonia are in love with each other.'' Gregory sighed with a smile. Before Gregory was ready to dine, all of a sudden, the light became dimmer and flashed again and again, making the four unnerved. ''Gregory looked around unnerved. Alexandar began to feel sick. Dragonia hugged Lavenna inside her arms and tried to comfort her.'' ''Before Dragonia finished, the light bursted with a loud bang, and the room was darkened... but soom it was filled with some unnatural magenta light. The four then looked around in confusion, as all of their surroundings were devoured by such an ominous darkness. Suddenly...''
 * Alexandar: Speak of the Devil. You're always the last but not the least, Dragonia Dragonfruit. 
 * Dragonia: I might be late, but I'll never be absent... like justice, right?
 * Lavenna: You're really weird sometimes, my dear Dragonia.
 * Dragonia: Weird I may have been, I'm the only dragon this town needs. Now, about my run for this town's mayor...
 * Gregory: (think) * It's better with just four of us. No one would disturb us.*
 * Gregory: What's going on?
 * Dragonia: This is...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - ???: You looked happy here, with your meal and tea. However, I'm not interested on them. I'm just wondering what YOU GUYS taste like. '

''Suddenly, a deep voice sounded like a woman who speaks in a low-pitched voice... or a man who speaks in a high-pitched voice, started to echo in the restaurant. Gregory shivered in panic when he heard the voice, and yet he didn't know why. He then uttered two words...'' As Gregory shouted out, he saw a silver blade flashed in a mid-air, with a blurry figure speaking right in front of him, with a grin on that person's face...
 * All: ....................?!
 * Gregory: LA GLOTON!



<p style="text-align:center;">' - ???: Gregory? Gregory? '

Nowadays
<p style="text-align:center;"> 20:00 PM  <p style="text-align:center;"> Gregory Grape's House 

''Gregory looked up and widened his gaze, as he heard Phyllis' voice. He went to open the door while rubbing his eyes. He seemed very exhausted for some reason. Phyllis was standing outside of his house, looking at him in distress.'' ''Phyllis slowly walked into the door as Gregory moved aside to let her in. He then remembered that he was supposed to have an appointment with her, discussing about the recent cases.'' Gregory then covered his face in sheer guilt and then he closed his eyes. ''Gregory then walked to the table and poured himself a cup of coffee. He took a sip and slowly regained his own conciousness.'' Phyllis peered at Gregory and leered at the wall. "....................." Gregory covered his face with his palm, stressed. Phyllis then took a look at the table in front of her.
 * 551187_435215096599132_821940820_n.pngPhyllis: Gregory?
 * Phyllis: I have a 24-hour cancellation policy.
 * X00_00_01--20180307-09E553M4-0Z.pngGregory: What time is it?
 * Phyllis: Eight o'clock, at night.
 * Gregory: Oh, God, I'm so sorry.
 * Phyllis: No apologies necessary.
 * Gregory: I must have fallen asleep... Was I sleepwalking again?
 * Phyllis: No, but judging from your state, I doubt that your eyes were opened, and yet you were not present.
 * Gregory: Jeez...
 * Gregory: I felt as if I was asleep. I need to stop sleeping altogether... best way to avoid bad dreams.
 * Phyllis: Well, I can see why you have bad dreams.

''There were photos of disembered bodies and bloody murder scene on the table. Those were the photos of La Gloton's notable victims in the past, and Gregory seemled obssessed to seek the truth out.'' Phyllis looked at Gregory and looked at the pictures once again. Gregory then gave out a smirk. Phyllis put on her gloves and started to examine the photos with great care. Phyllis looked surprised by Gregory's words for a split second, but then, she acted as if nothing happened in all. Gregory chuckled and shook his head, much to the surprised of Phyllis. Phyllis then widened her gaze once again, but still, she didn't lose her composure. Phyllis then dropped a sweat drop and looked at Gregory, who stared at her and nodded. ''Continuing to check the photos, Phyllis then... all of a sudden... noticed a photo of a dead woman, as she picked up the photo and looked at it closely. She then widened her eyes, seemly surprised. The woman's body seemed perfectly intact. No organs were removed, even though she had a splited gut.'' Phyllis then looked at the picture once again. "........................" Gregory nodded with a sigh again.
 * Gregory: What do you see, Ms. Parker?
 * Phyllis: Sum up the killer in so many words?
 * Gregory: Choose your words wisely.
 * Phyllis: Oh, I always do. Words are living things. They have personality, point of view... agenda.
 * Gregory: They're pack hunters.
 * Phyllis: Displaying one's enemy after death... has its appeal in many cultures.
 * Gregory: These aren't La Gloton's enemies. These are pests they've swatted.
 * X00_00_01--2S0180307-09553MEN4D-0Z.pngPhyllis: These are the victims' rewards for their own cruelty and hypocrisy.
 * Gregory: Oh, they don't have a problem with cruelty or hypocrisy. It's their reward for their own undigified behavior. These dissections are to disgrace them. It's... it's a public shaming.
 * Phyllis: They take their victims' organs away because, in their mind, these victims don't deserve organs. 
 * Gregory: Hmm... in some way.
 * Diabolik_Lovers_Episode_1_-_Reiji_Screenshot_1.jpgPhyllis: What's this?
 * Gregory: It's Hestia Hawthorn's body. She's not like other victims. The killer has no reason to humiliate Hestia.
 * Phyllis: Well, it seems to me that they were humiliating someone else.
 * Gregory: Yes, they were humiliating Selina.
 * Phyllis: Did it work?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Gregory: I'd say it worked REALLY WELL.

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5,000 Meters Away 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Ambulance 

Meanwhile, as Ichabod was fighting against Howe and his minions, Selina and Irving had already led a group of police and went for the suspect of the organ harvesting case, Cartman Cinnabar, who was also a suspect responsible for the recent mutilation akin to the infamous La Gloton's Serial Murder Case.

''The town's SWAT Team as well as police went near a garage where the suspect's ambulance was there. They went down from the car and truck one by one, led by Irving and Selina. Pedro, Walter and Lillian went on following them, while Gregory and Phyllis just stood not far away from the police squad, looking at their actions without a single word.''

''When Selina, Irving, Pedro, Walter and Lillian led the police and approached the ambulance, they all surrounded it quietly. Taking a deep breath, Irving then raised his hand and whipped the air with it. The police got the signal and immediately went forward, opening the back door with a crowbar, revealing a man in a doctor's suit. He was doing operation on a man.''

''Selina quickly went nearer in an angry face, but Irving blocked her way. He raised his pistol and pointed at the man. He now knew that this man was Cartman Cinnabar, that escaped surgeon in Tarrytown Hospital.'' Irving went closer to him. ''Irving then noticed that the doctor was doing some surgery on the victim, but he was still yet to remove the organ from the victim's body. Pedro put hand on his chin and suddenly, he widened his gaze.'' ''Pedro was calling Phyllis for help. Selina then saw Phyllis immediately went towards the scene. Selina showed doubt when she saw Phyllis coming, with Gregory following her, but then Pedro looked at Selina with a smile.'' Selina then glared at Pedro in disgust. Selina then saw Phyllis stopped by Irving and looked at him. ''Squinting her eyes, Selina sighed.Selina seemed to be in a bad relationship with Pedro, Gregory and Phyllis, but due to their own influencial place in the Order, even she cannot remove them from the power. Meanwhile, Irving looked at Phyllis and gave his request.'' ''Pedro gave Selina an affable smile and looked at Phyllis near the patient. Phyllis carefully checked the body, sitting beside the criminal.'' Phyllis then took off her trenchcoat, raised her sleeve, put on her rubber gloves, and started to control the bleeding for just 10 seconds. ''In a confident look, Phyllis nodded at Irving.  Mr. Cinnabar was sitting next to her, quivering in agony. He realized that he cannot escape from being arrested, and his plans was failed.'' ''Mr. Cinnabar nodded and raised his hand, carefully coming out of the vehicle. Phyllis was also operating on the victim carefully, and she start sewing the wound after putting the organ back to the man's body with care. Everyone looked at Phyllis with concentration, and Selina widened her eyes, as she cannot believe that Phyllis, whom she thought was cold and harsh, had saved a life.'' ''Walter crossed his arm in anger, while looking at the surgeon being taken away. Selina and Gregory both lowered their head.'' ''Selina then held her head in dismay. Her head hurted at times.'' Selina then looked at Phyllis and eventually, she relented. ''Selina then leered at Pedro angrily, but the latter leered back with a smile, as if saying, "See? I've told you." Selina closed her eyes in disgust.''

October 31st - Halloween
<p style="text-align:center;"> The Next Day 

<p style="text-align:center;"> October 31st 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 8:00 AM 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Phyllis' House 

''While preparing the remaining portion of cold dishes alongside her fellow cooks, Phyllis, in her chef's suit, looked at a purple-haired young man in front of her. The young man wore a pair of glasses and looked very calm and subdued. The man is none other than Gregory Grape.'' ''Gregory seemed shy. He held a bottle of Chianti in his grasp, which he brought to her just a minute ago.'' ''Phyllis then poured some soy sauce into a pot in front of her. Now, she was preparing a bowl of stew, and she would put the pot on the stove when things were ready.'' ''Phyllis lit up her face and peered at Gregory. She was currently adding some wine into the pot.'' Gregory frowned at Phyllis when he heard this. Sadly, Gregory sighed and looked aside. Phyllis then put her pot on the stove and lit up the fire, slowly cooking it. ''Cryptically, Phyllis smirked for a very brief period of time. Hearing this, Gregory chuckled in amusement, but then, his face turned back into a serious expression.'' Phyllis then peered Gregory in the eyes. Phyllis sighed and looked at Gregory in a pitiful face, seemly sympathizing someone unfortunate. "......................" ''Feeling sad while pushing his glasses, Gregory paused and then looked at Phyllis with a forced smile once more. He put the wine bottle on the table very softly.'' Seeing the bottle of Chianti, Phyllis smiled and then nodded in gratitude. Gregory pushed his glasses once again and then walked away, as Phyllis silent watching him.
 * Diabolik_Lovers_-_11_raw.mp4_000193610.jpgPhyllis: Are you sure you can't stay, Gregory?
 * Gregory: Uh, I don't think I would be good company.
 * C239e1ec08fa513d2b28d461396dD55fbb0fbd9c1.pngPhyllis: I disagree.
 * Phyllis: However, before you go... what became of that Mr. Cinnabar's donor?
 * Gregory: You saved his life.
 * Phyllis: Been a long time since I used a scalpel on anything but a pencil. 
 * 0212715474_820641144712508_5446058585402617420_n.jpgGregory: I hardly remembered anything happened eight years ago aside from that fatal night ... but I remember that after that night, you've been a surgeon as well, as a part-time job. Why did you stop becoming one?
 * Phyllis: I killed someone... or, more accurately, I couldn't save someone, but it felt like killing them. I guess I'm not good at part-time jobs, unlike Selina.
 * X00_00_01--20180307E-09553MEN4-0Z.pngGregory: You were an emergency room surgeon, Peach. It has to happen from time to time.
 * Phyllis: It happened one time too many.
 * Phyllis: I actually tresferred my passion for anatomy into the culinary arts. I fix minds instead of bodies, and no one's died as a result of my dishes.
 * Gregory: I have to go. Calvin and I have a special appointment with La Gloton.
 * Phyllis: Or... is that La Glotons?
 * Gregory: Cartman Cinnarbar was harvesting organs, but not with La Gloton. He was never involved in the recent zombie soldier event either. There was no connections between them. Since Howe's burned into ashes, we might never know who mutilated his victims.
 * Phyllis: Selina and Irving must be devastated.
 * Diabolik_Lovers_Episode_1_-_Reiji_Screenshot_6.jpgGregory: I imagine they are.
 * Gregory: Enjoy the wine.
 * Phyllis: Thank you.
 * Phyllis: Hmm...

<p style="text-align:center;"> Meanwhile 

<p style="text-align:center;"> The Archives 

''Now, the full event had a bittersweet ending. Both the organ harvesting case was solved and General Howe was immolated with his army, but La Gloton was never found. The real killer used the harvester as a bait and scapegoat for them to get away. In spite of this, the Team Witness still prevented a crisis that would destroy the whole town and painted it in blood. The Witnesses was now on a web chat with Brennan and Booth.'' Chatting with Ichabod and Abbie, Booth and Brennan were now back into the Jeffersonian Insititute. Brennan then spoke in the place of her husband. ''Brennan then frowned her eyebrows when she took a look on her phone, regarding the questions on the newly made site of Washington's Tomb. She seemed confused and wanted to dug those questions out.'' ''Ichabod and Abbie looked at each other with drops of sweat on their head. They didn't know how to tell her about anything connected to General Howe's involvement with occultism. Would they tell her that the Great Fire of New York was caused by Betsy Ross' overuse of Greek Fire?'' ''Ichabod was now like "what the heck". He didn't expected that even after every excuses he attempted to made, Dr. Brennan was still drawn on the handwriting cliche. Fortunately, Booth immediately asked her to stop.'' ''Booth then smiled at Abbie and Ichabod. Abbie crossed her arm and grinned happily.'' ''The teleconference was then over. Ichabod then slowly took a deep breath and sat back on the chair. Abbie looked at him with a look of concern and comfort.'' ''Just then, Sister Mary Eunice walked down the stairs and felt unnerved. Tweedledee and Twedledum were lying next to her, sleeping. She was holding her head and apparently, she head a headache. The trio had worked all night trying to deal with Howe's minions and find out the instigation behind the mysterious missing case of Howe's supposed victim... and their later mutilations.'' ''Sister Mary Eunice yawned and sat on a chair, as she seemed very weary. Abbie smiled and then push her phone to her.'' Sister Mary Eunice stared at the phone in front of her and blinked. Sister Mary Eunice smiled and then dialed her number. ''Ichabod and Abbie smiled. Now, everyone in the room felt they were a part of Sleepy Hollow now.''
 * Abbie: We're glad to hear the Jeffersonian's decided to take Washington's Tomb under its jurisdiction. 
 * Booth: [Oh, I'd start getting rid of the nepalm first.]
 * Brennan: [The Jeffersonian would love your help with the excavation, Mr. Crane.]
 * Ichabod: Ooh, well, I'm flattered, but I am in the process of renovating a historical property of my own.
 * Brennan: [Too bad, the site poses more than a few questions. "If Colonial Americans had Greek Fire, why didn't they use it during the Battles of the Revolutions?"]
 * Sleepy.Hollow.S-00_40_30--20180524-163843-4-.pngBrennan: [And you still haven't sufficiently explained how you came across Washington's letter.]
 * Booth: [Let it go, Bones, just... let it go.]
 * Sleepy.Hollow.S-00_40_35--20180524-163945-5-.pngAbbie: Thanks again for your help.
 * Booth: [Yeah, you know what? Don't mention it, but next time you find a death trap, just give us a heads-up first.]
 * Ichabod: Oh, yes, we shall. You have our word.
 * X00_0X0_01--20180307-09553MEN4-0Z.pngAbbie: Are you okay, Crane? I know seeing Howe must have been difficult.
 * Ichabod: Oh, I feel relieved. He's a part of my past I can put behind me.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Even the ghosts in the past have to take a break.
 * JellyBellyBeans.jpg: But... sometimes they need a little push.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I don't follow.
 * Abbie: Call a phone to candy sellers. We need candies for children trick-or-treating tonight. Today is the last day of our town's parade. We'll celebrate it with the whole town.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I don't like candies, but I don't mind giving them to children.

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10 minutes later 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Westchester Police Department 

Staring at the wall full of La Gloton's photos, Irving sighed and kept silence. ''Irving thought about his days two years ago as the investigator of the case. The organ harvester was never the culprit, and he never believed that the real culprit was inside Tarrytown by now.''
 * Irving: ....................

''However, as the murder had fell silent after Ichabod's secret actions, the chances to find more evidence is minimum now. Furthermore, Irving now was drenched into fear. His previous investigation had made him unable to take care of his family, which ended up causing his daughter being crippled and he divorced with his wife. He didn't believe there was a curse around this case, but he now feared that he would let other people in danger as well.''

''Irving still stared at the wall with silence, and then he thought about Ichabod Crane, about the Headless Horseman, about all the horrible events that occured in Sleepy Hollow... He was lost. He feared to lose others he cared about in this town, but he felt he cannot stay away from it any longer.''

With a sigh, Irving turned back and walked away sadly.

Purgatory
<p style="text-align:center;"> Purgatory  <p style="text-align:center;"> Christine Van Bilj's Cell 

''Looking weak and pale, Christine started to lowered her head and sighed in agony. Crow Faux stood near her in a face of distraught '' Crow then started to count with his own fingers almost immediately. Christine rolled her eyes at Crow when she had heard about Crow's ranting, and she blinked in some mild confusion. ''Hearing the words of Christine, Crow suddenly gasped and went silent, and he crossed his arms, pretending as if nothing ever happened. However, now it was revealed that Crow is in fact the brother of Katrina Crane, and he was somehow furious by the fact that Katrina chose Crane over Abraham.'' ''Clenching his fists when all the sad memories showed up, Crow kept silent, but his hands were shaking. Christine paused and closed her eyes in sadness.''
 * Hungary.full.1024263.jpgChristine: You mean... You mean that Valindra Shadowmantle had finished my new body?
 * Christine: And Crane had General Howe killed? This makes me...
 * Crow: Enraged? I have the same feeling. Crane needs to make a long list for all of those people he's been messed with.
 * Crow: He pushed you into such things. He made Colin suffered grave injury. He killed General Howe. He took my sister's heart away from Abraham Van Brunt. He's not a worthy person to begin with, Christine. Why that impotent God chose him to be His First Witness in this era?
 * Christine: Is that the reason you hate him so much...  as he took Katrina away from that Abraham Van Brunt ?
 * Christine: Don't worry. I know you're the lost son of Balthus Van Tassel, and I know you have no feelings towards that hypocritical farmer who thought he's in control of every thing. However, the point is that I'm rather surprised that... even after all these years, you're still yet to severe the blood ties between you and her.
 * Christine: You know how Old Balthus intended. He intended to have Van Brunt Family a partner in business. If Katrina loves Crane, let her be. If Colin marries someone he truly loves, I'll raise my both hands to agree. Why can't you?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Crow: BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WORTH IT! '

''All of a sudden, Crow bursted into a sudden shouting as he turned back in fraustration. Gasped as she went startled, Christine widened her gaze. Crow's sudden anger made her shocked.'' Christine shut her eyes tightly and started to bit her lips, before she calmed herself down for a while. ''Before Crow could finish, he suddenly felt some cold feelings from behind and he looked back, before he caught sight of a tall and slim female figure who was dressing in a sharp suit. She looked at Crow in a sharp smile all of a sudden, which made him startled...  Crow closed his eyes all of a sudden and stepped back in some fear. His face began to turn pale.'' ''Crow opened his eyes and then, much to his relief, there was no one there. Crow still bit his lips as the face of Christine leaned towards him, smiling.'' ''As Christine mentioned Colin, A sadistic smile suddenly floated on Christine's face... until all of a sudden, Christine began to feel startled as she then paused, clenching her teeth.'' ''It took a while for Christine to push down her inner madness that drove her to kill Colin, taking form after the revelation drove her mad. Meanwhile, Crow, however, didn't notice or hear whatever Christine was doing or saying. He firmly stuck in his own thoughts.'' ''After snapping himself out of his thoughts, Crow then turned to Christine and started to comfort her again. Christine currently returned back to her constant personality - a calm, intellegent and stoic woman.'' Christine then smiled and nodded as well. Christine and Crow looked at each other and smiled.
 * Persona_5_sae_niijima_by_blazpu-db94mhd.jpgChristine: * gasped *
 * Crow: You think Crane is a good rival, while I think he's a worthless scum and traitor! What made me even more angry is that Ichabod dared to cuckold his best friend ! Abraham is Crane's best friend, isn't he?
 * Crow: Or at least Abraham "was" his best friend. I didn't realize this heinous stuff until I discovered that Abraham had...
 * Christine: Gabriel? Gabriel?
 * Crow: No, it's that horrid woman again...
 * Christine: What woman? There's no one there. In this room, there's only us.
 * Christine: My friend, relax... There's nothing that can scare you. I'm here... Since Colin is... now gone... you're the only one I can depend on.
 * Christine: No, wait a minute... What am I doing with this...
 * Crow: (think) * What's that woman's purpose? Is she really helping Lord Moloch or she has her own agenda? Christine barely knows her, but I need to keep an eye on her... *
 * 306Atticus.pngCrow: Don't worry, Christine. I'm fine. Every step Ichabod Crane walks is leading him towards his panicking grave once and for all. All of them who would meddle our plans shall die, even if they're on our side. Your work was stolen by that Atticus Nevins by tricks, but I'm sure that karma's gonna come collect his debt.
 * Christine: Yes, and not to mention that... that... that something even more interesting is arriving thanks to our recent moves.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Trout Lake 

The sun was about to set, and soon, like Christine said, the souls was gathered enough - enough for the Headless Horseman to rise back again. ''The Horseman walked out of the water - with the lake as its recent resting place. He paced towards his pale horse at the bank and stepped onto the land.'' The Horseman paced slowly as his ride waited for its rider patiently. The Horseman then went onto the saddle and then flicked the horse with its reins. ''The horse then began to ride, as the Horseman riding it through the foggy woods, on the road and towards the town. He'll wait for the next wave of slaughter.'' ''He'll wait. He could still feel the blood binding between him and Ichabod... when they killed each other 231 years ago. The Horseman cannot begin his slaughter, not yet. He had to wait until Ichabod's blood tie was broken, but the method is currently unknown.'' "......................" The Horseman slashed the ground with his heated axe in a fit of rage, before he withdrew his axe and rode away, leaving a trail of heated red trail behind him.

With seventeen dishes prepared on the table, all being decorated the meat, the dinner party of Phyllis Peach had finally announced after many days of preperations.

''Every guests in the scene applauded for the feast's opening. The guests in the feast are either close to Phyllis, or agreed her invitation, including:''

''Walter joined the dinner party of Phyllis, anyway, in gratitude of getting the "copycat" and spared him from further doubts. La Gloton's murder case, or its copycat case, has call it a night so far, and now it was the time for the hostess to open the feast.'' ''Phyllis then thought about the person named Gladius and " his little creation "... With a serious face, Phyllis then sighed and raised her head in a serious expression. The smiling guests then stopped applauding, waiting for her announcement.'' ''Phyllis spoke it slowly and clearly, so that everyone would hear her. She then waved her palm on the dishes to make everyone pay attention on them.'' ''Many guests chuckled at Phyllis' so-called warning, and Phyllis smiled in relief. After all these days, her efforts has been paid off. Howe's attack effectively drew the Witnesses' attention, and the coporgan harvester had driven away police's attention... Now, she could freely move on with her plans. As for her guests, she would slowly make ALL of them to do her biddings.''

Lyrics
My friends don't walk, they run Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun Popping, popping balloons with guns, getting high off helium

We paint white roses red, Each shade from a different person's head This dream, dream is a killer Getting drunk with a blue caterpillar

I'm peeling the skin off my face 'Cause I really hate being safe The normals, they make me afraid The crazies, they make me feel sane

I'm nuts Baby, I'm mad, The craziest friend that you've ever had You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong

Over the bend, entirely bonkers You like me best when I'm off my rocker Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed ''So what if I'm crazy? The best people are''

All the best people are crazy All the best people are

Where is my prescription? Doctor, doctor please listen My brain is scattered You can be Alice, I'll be the mad hatter.

I'm peeling the skin off my face 'Cause I really hate being safe The normals, they make me afraid The crazies, they make me feel sane

I'm nuts Baby, I'm mad, The craziest friend that you've ever had You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong

Over the bend, entirely bonkers You like me best when I'm off my rocker Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed ''So what if I'm crazy? The best people are''

You think I'm crazy, you think I'm gone ''So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are'' And I think you're crazy too, I know you're gone That's probably the reason that we get along

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad, The craziest friend that you've ever had You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong

Over the bend, entirely bonkers You like me best when I'm off my rocker Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed ''So what if I'm crazy? The best people are''

All the best people are crazy All the best people are All the best people are crazy All the best people are...
