Ferro in The Mysterious Casino

"Oh, this could be fun! Ferro Magia, private I!" He started up the game, ready to begin his investigation into the mansion.

The game opened on his carriage arriving at the opulent country estate.

He took his player character off the carriage and, at first looking about the entrance for anything noteworthy, and to admire the background art, he headed inside. "Wow, the game looks great, I wonder how the characters will look."

As soon as he knocked on the door a maid not dissimilar to the one he'd been eating out earlier opened the door. "Hello sir. Can I help you?" She asked, clearly not expecting to see him.

"I'm here to investigate the premises, ma'am. A man of reputation swung by some time ago and never came back." He introduced himself to the maid and requested permission to enter the mansion, if she would be so kind.

The maids eyes went wide. "You must be here about Lord Renolds. The mistress will want to speak with you immediately." The maid said with a curtsy, beckoning him inside.

"Thank you very much." The investigator entered the mansion, looking around to take in the interior of the main hall. It was impressive, he could say that much, and Ferro could say it even more from looking at the art displayed in the game from both the mansion and the maid.

"Please follow me." The maid requested, heading down the hall with a gait that really let him appreciate her curvy hips.

He tailed the maid closely, his eyes wandering around as they passed through the halls of the mansion more often then anything else. Whatever was going on, this mansion had a part to play in it, or could even have been the center of the issue.

The halls all seemed the same. Getting a map might be a good idea. The maid lead him to the mistresses chambers. "In here sir." She said, giving him a deep curtsy that drew his eyes to her overflowing cleavage.

The detective tipped his hat to the maid and Ferro eyed her chest for a moment before entering the mistress's room before he could get too distracted. "Alright, let's kick this investigation off."

Ferro entered the room to be greeted by a woman in her 40's although the years had done little to diminish her beauty, having instead given her a mature appeal. "Hello. I assume you bare here about Lord Renold?" She asked. Heedless of the are that Ferro had just stumbled in on her in her underwear.

"Ma'am, you wanna explain to me why you're half naked while expecting company?" the detective said, Ferro trying to keep the game moving while he's trying not to ogle the lady of the house.

"Excuse me! I was not expecting guests. How was I supposed to know when someone would arrive to investigate." She huffed, throwing on a bathrobe. Ferro was not making a good first impression.

"Apologies. The maid that showed me in seemed to know what I was here for when I introduced myself. Forgive me for assuming, ma'am. Yes, I'm here to look into what happened to Renold. I was hoping maybe you could give me some ideas."

"I'm afraid I haven't the foggiest idea what might have happened to him. But feel free to ask me any questions. And if you need anything. Anything at all. Please let me or one of the maids know." Lady Garham said. Sitting down on one of the sofa, causing one of her smooth, alluring legs to slip out of her bathrobe.

Ferro's eyes trailed down to her tantalizing legs, as the memory of what was under the bathrobe flashed through his head and lingered. "Uhh... Anything, like what, ma'am?" he asked before he tried to refocus his efforts.

"Information, food, drink, entertainment. Simply ask and my maids and I will provide." The noblewoman explained. Her legs casually crossing and uncrossing in a way that was very distracting.

The woman shifting her legs about only distracted him further, and he felt oh-so tempted to request the lady remove her bathrobe again. However, he was going to get nowhere real fast if he did that, and forced himself to thank her and leave to question the maids.

There were dozens of maids around. It didn't take long for him to find one with blue here done up in pigtails.

Pigtails were an interesting choice for a maid, but he wasn't going to judge. Besides, she was cute, so whatever. "Excuse me, ma'am. Any chance you can tell me anything about what might have happened to Renold, or maybe what you know about the man?"

(Insight -roll 38- Success)

"I'm afraid I don't know much sir. He came to do business with the mistress and was here for a couple weeks. I've heard he would take walks in the garden." The maid said. Ferro got the impression that there was something she wasn't telling him.

"Is that really all you know, madam? I get the feeling you're not being entirely open with me right now." He crossed his arms and waited for her response before he pushes it further.

The maid was somehow even cuter when cornered. When it became clear that she wasn't going to get anything past him she gave him a worried look. "His lordship spent a great deal of time with the mistress's daughter. Lady Joanna. She wished to keep it discreet. Please understand." The maid told him, her voice a low whisper.

"Hm... fine, I'll try to be subtle. Could you lead me to this Joanna's room?" He couldn't help the suspicion, and perhaps this would lead merely to a slight clue, but every clue was important, he was certain.
