A potential spoiler appears! If you haven't seen Voltron/plan on watching it unspoiled/love secrecy in all its forms, please let me know and I'll adjust my tags to match your preference.

phase I - holy shit it's CLUE (or someone's been reading bungou stray dogs A+ prompting goddamn)

[ It's not Pidge's first time using a taser. But usually when the kid uses it, it's with good reason, like a teammate who won't shut up, or... you know, self-defense.

Kneeling down to check the butler's pulse and finding nothing, the sound of the door opening is full tilt reason to panic. ]

I- I- It's not what you're thinking, I swear!

[ Yeah it's really easy to hide a taser behind your back when you're hunched over a dead guy. ]

phase III - ain't lion about this

[ The bloody footprints give Pidge a full-body shiver, something cartoonish and almost comedic. ]

Me? Why would stairs want to know about-- Woah, woah--! [ and the poor thing is tumbling head-over-heels down a moving staircase, thumping down a few steps before finally regaining balance. ] I'll never find anyone at this rate.

[ ...but is it true? Will the stairs cooperate if you talk to them? If Pidge can't hack them, at least trying to talk would be beneficial.

A suspicious look left. A suspicious look right.

There's nobody here.

The quietest of whispers. I'll share mine if you'll share yours. ]

I sweat a lot.

[ The stairs laugh heartily. This means war. ]

BONUS - let's get phoenix wright/dangan ronpa up in this murderhouse

[ Pidge thrusts the taser out at the cob pipe as if to say Objection! ]

It couldn't have been me!

[ "because I am still holding the murder weapon" is not how that sentence was supposed to end. Whoops. ]
