((Ah ok))
Alex slumped next to Mark and quickly fell asleep.

Karin examined the statue, pretending to be absorbed in the quality of the work of art. She was actually on the alert for anything that might be coming this way, the atmosphere had suddenly gotten even more dangerous than it was before. Karin could feel an unfinished threat hanging in the air, waiting to be fulfilled, she pressed her fingers to the statue.

Could someone give me a rehashing of all the clues that have been collected so far? And maybe not the poems included, just what they are assuming from them. Sorry for this big request >.<

The Clue Book:
~ (Known to Aura only)--Elias (host's grandson) knew about the plan beforehand somehow, and communicated it to Elisa (host's granddaughter). She got that from a seemingly innocent letter from Elias to "Jane" and has shown the letter to the others but not revealed the clue she gleaned from it.
~Elisa's doll collection is messed up and Aura is convinced it has something to do with Treachery, Sadness, and Betrayal.
~The following encoded conversation was found:
Elias:When is Aura coming?
Elisa:1730
Elias:We'll be gone by then.
Elisa:Leave clues. Where are they taking us?
~Mr. Gilfax's glasses were found--broken--in a dead attacker's pocket.
~This poem was carved into the side of Mr. Gilfax's bedroom wall:
Trouble is coming
But someone knew,
That the raven by the window,
Ate the clue...
From this clue they found the following poem-clue, in a different (same as the conversation) code, and also in German:
He who walks the pier by night,
And by day eludes all light.
She who reads but does not know,
who much abhors cooked snow
In ink unseen one more clue,
lies beneath an unclean shoe.
The first couplet has been agreed to code for Elias, but Elias himself does not know that.
~The dagger that struck Alex during Mark's interview was identified as Karin to have the blade of one of her original daggers (custom fit to her throwing style so not many people should be able to throw it accurately) and a new hilt: ivory with inlaid mother of pearl. It is apparently part of a set of five that Elisa now owns. Four have been found; one is missing.
~Two Rs have also been carved into the base of the blade thrown at Alex. The only person in the contact book (with all of Mr. Gilfax's contacts in it) is a Richard Roland, whose name no one recognizes. Futher information on him is either unavailable or at present undisclosed. In a container inside the dagger, in another code is the following poem:
The stranger's sign, death follows close,
Beware the eyes of the silvery ghost.
Change and turn to stay on course,
Or challenge the statue with knowledge's force.
Ignore the symbol carved on her head,
Suffer by the floating bed.
~Elias has connections with the kidnappers. He also went to the statue/ fountain in the backyard and collected something (dunno if this counts as a clue)
~A person called Rebecca (I think she was identified as Elias's governess's daughter?) is one of the people who apparently set up the events now occuring. She is working for a "Lord Ryan". Ryan is also the name of a supposedly dead grand-uncle of Elisa and Elias's.
Did I miss anything? >.<

Elisa watched everyone drift off to sleep and decided a nap would be good as well. She shrugged and leaned against the couch arm and drifted off to sleep as well.
"Looking for something?" Elias asked, suddenly next to Karin. "What's wrong?"
((@Silver--I think that's all the clues....
@Sabrina---It's kind of like how Silver said. Basically he knows that whatever the kidnappers is doing must be done or is right, but he doesn't want to hurt the others either. So yea. He's in-between, really.))

((Yeah, I think that's it.))
Karin jumped and nearly stabbed Elias with a dagger, "Don't do that! My nerves are already tense as it is, you don't have to suddenly pop up next to me!" She sheathed her weapon again and answered Elias' question, "I'm not trying to find anything, just collecting my thoughts." Ok, ok...I'll admit that was part lie, but I can't tell him anything now can I? With my suspicions...I wonder how I can get to tapestry?

"Sorry! I thought I made sufficient noise," Elias said, grinning stupidly.
He scrutinised the statue as well. She's lying, he noted to himself. Elias might not have been around these people much persay, but he had enough experience with other people to know when someone was uncomfortable about a situation. Given the circumstances, I ought to leave her alone.
"How have you all been?" he asked Karin quietly.

Why is he still here? I thought his sister said he's good at perceiving things? Karin stroked the smooth, cool ivory surface to unscramble her mind before replying to his second question. "We've all been worried and scared. The atmosphere is relaxed enough right now but there's something sinister hanging in the air. I can feel it." Karin said, studying the statue even closer and tracing the grooves cut into it. Is he guilty? I had still better be careful, my suddenly discovered sixth sense tells me that much. And there seriously is something dangerous in the air I haven't felt before...it's like a killing intent.

Would that more sinister be me?
"I'm sorry," Elias said. He lingered for a moment longer and strolled back to his spot on the couch, letting his mind wander. Unintentionally, his eyes narrowed in frustrated contemplation and the strangeness of it seemed to radiate a bit of devilish intent.
He wasn't aware of it himself, but he was staring at Aura again.
((I propose someone slap someone else just for the comedic effect and easing of tension!))

Mark noticed Elias looking at Aura. He moved Alex off of him walked over to Elias and slapped him with his full power on the cheek. "She's way to young for you. Get a life." HE said and walked back over to Alex.

"Ow!" Elias recoiled at the slap and snapped back to attention. "What was that for?"
He glanced between Aura and Mark confusedly for a moment and guessed what Mark had been thinking. In a hushed tone he assured, "Oh goodness. No, it's nothing like that."
With a smile, Elias returned to his musing. Before long, he caught himself staring again and stood up. "I'm just going for a walk," he said. He walked to the only obvious entrance to the room and let himself out.
You have a problem with staring, he told himself, strolling past the tapestry of Athena and Zeus. Eh. That hurt. My face still stings.
He had reached the end of the hall and the only ways to go were right or back. Elias glanced down the right hall at the dead end, where his Uncle Ryan's previous room was. Why don't they want anyone in there? And why did they say Aura knew too much now? Agh, why am I thinking about her again?
Elias leaned against the wall in silence, hoping Mark or Karin wouldn't come after him.
((Haha! I can see how it's funny with the OOC, but without that bit of info it just seems so random!))

Karin, being herself, always had noticed too much and it wasn't any surprise that she had heard the slap and saw Elias exit the room. She stayed at a distance but still followed him a short ways before turning back, he was heading toward the room that she had always hated in the mansion. The room was magnificent, like the rest of the mansion, but she always felt uneasy inside its walls. It was the only room that felt like a cage to her, it was the only one that didn't have a secret passageway out. Hey! A cage! The connection to the bird cage! No wait, I lost my logic...no...I get it. That room is important to solving the riddles in the bird cage, I think it's the tying point of how the cities are supposed to work with each other. She took one last look at where Elias was heading and walked back to the original room, he was going toward the tapestry. She knew that much.

Elias returned to the room the others were in and sat down quietly again. "What are we going to do? he asked aloud. "Stay here and try to snuff it out?"
