A Clue! A Clue!

"WHAT is she, A Librarian!? HOW MANY BOOKS DOES RAGATHA HAVE!?"
Scribbles hissed in protest at the thought of going through every single book in the Potion makers shelf. Pomni, Caine, and herself were currently investigating the Ragdoll's Quarters.
The little Jerboa had taken one of Ragatha's Favorite ribbons and hidden it somewhere with the assistance of Jax under a guise of a prank, So they'd have plenty of time to search. If anything, those two could annoy eachother for hours.
"SO My Dear, Do tell me.. what exactly are we searching for?"
Caine mused as he poked a few of the empty vials and nearly knocked them over. Pomni was Quick to catch them and gave him a look.
"Anything that's suspicious or out of place."
She replied while placing the vials back in order. The last thing she wanted was Caine to be here during her investigation, seeing as he's a suspect.
But she need to keep a closer eye on the riddlemaster.. as he was the hardest to get a read on. It would be better to keep your friends close and your enemies closer after all.. yeah. That was totally the reason.
"Everything in this place is suspicious. I feel like I'm in a witches Cavern.."
Scribbles murmered under her breathe as she filed through the different books. She probably wasn't looking as throughly as she should- but ughhh this was so dusty and boring. "Tears of the world", "A handmaidens guide to Etiquette", "Darling, If you only Knew-"
**BONK**
"OW!"
Scribbles let out a slightly agitated cry as a big book fell on her noggin. The other two turned their heads to see what the commotion was.
"Little Knight?"
Caine asked as he walked over curiously to see what was wrong.
"You okay?"
Pomni asked as she also headed over, trying not to laugh. Whenever something hit scribbles, she sounded like a strained squeaky toy.
"Mmhm.. I'm okay.. just this silly Book.. Huh? That's weird.. this is the only book in another language. Isn't everything here set to "English"?"
Scribbles mentioned as she held up the book to the two. The entire book was written in French.
"That.. That is odd."
Pomni mused as Scribbles opened it and flipped through the pages. She squinted at the fancy calligraphy and let out a frustrated hiss.
"How can anybody read this stuff? I cant even read the title."
" Base de données des utilisateurs."
Caine chimed in, causing Both Pomni & Scribbles to look at him. He simply spun his cane around with a bit of pride, assuming that he's managed to impress the two.
"Why I can read MANY languages. French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Russian-"
He began to list off one of his many setting before pomni put her fingers to his teeth and shushed him.
" YES yes that's very impressive Caine but could you maybe just read this in ENGLISH?"
She motioned to the pages of the book the little Jerboa held out to him. He gave an awkward chuckle before nodding.
"Ah- But of course my dear! Allow me to shed some light on this verbal mystery!"
He stated as he began to read out the listed words in the pages... he was reading out names. But not just any names.. Names of all the missing persons on this case.
This was a HUGE piece of evidence.
"Yes.. YES! FINALLY! SOMETHING THAT COULD ACTUALLY BE A SOLID LEAD!!"
Pomni Said with a bright grin as she did a little jig in place. After months of wild goose chases she's finally making some solid progress. Caine had no idea how this book made her so excited but the sight alone made his non existenant heart flutter a little bit. Might as well join in the cheerfulness.
"That's simply marvelous my dear~"
Pomni couldn't contain her excitement as she immediately ran up to Caine and threw her arms around him. He was taken aback but happily spun her around a little as they had a small victory.
Scribbles was quick to catch the book before handing it back to Caine when he finally stopped spinning Pomni. Her face had flushed with the silly laughter she had.
"Finally.. I'm finally one step closer to finding out who's behind this all. Thank you. Thank you so much Caine.."
" Oh no, It was my Pleas-"
Caine began but immediately stopped mid sentence as he felt something wrong. It was as if the ground had went out from under him...?
!?
As if he slipped on something, Caine went crashing to the ground and the Book went flying.. and landed right into Ragatha's Main Calderon.
It bubbled and fizzled as the book all but discenigrated into the green liquid.
A deathly silence fell over the room as Cain slowly sat up, Feeling the burning stares of the two Behind him.. even He knew that a Simple "Oops." Wouldn't fix what he had just done.
He felt his Code run cold as the strained Sound of Despair in Pomni's Voice can be heard.
"Caine... What did you do..?"

Scribbles is listening so hard rn
Does she understand Pomni though? That's another story.
Aside from her Feral/Wild/ creature moments,
Scribbles is actually basically bright-eyed and bushytailed around pomni when they're alone because she actually really likes detectives and thinks their cool.
Pomni is reluctant at first but kinda mellows out and just let's her follow her around, and humors her questions. I mean. It doesn't hurt to have a little help.. But then again.. Scribbles does have her.. Off moments. But the kid means well.. Maybe.
But not everyone is as accepting of this arrangement, As to why scribbles keeps up a slightly more Sharper image incase anyone gets the bright idea to try anything with her. So far it works.
She's still kind but she won't hesitate to throw hands. Don't test her.
Though despite all odds, scribbles still manages to get along with everyone well enough.. some even more than others~♡
That doesn't stop her from getting into shenanigans.
Both good..
And bad...
"Scribbles...? Are you Okay..?"
Something seems to be wrong with the plucky paladin... But nobody seems to know or even notice what could be bothering her..
"Maybe.. she knows more than she lets on...."

The Ferocious Queen of the Night, Meet "Song!"
[ Whenever Scribbles is missing from the spotlight, a different face will take her place...
If you manage to be one of the lucky few to see one of her Rare appearances & Performances, You will be Enchanted by the haunting melody of her Howls, nearly falling into a trance as her fur sparkles in the moonlight.
But don't be mistaken, although she is a sight to behold, she is far from tame. In fact- she might be the WILDEST of the circus members.
This Wolf knows what she likes and what she doesn't, and won't put up anyone else's opinion about on the matter, end of story.
Desperate measures had to be put into place to keep this firey hounds temper in check; Thus, the chains. Not that the chains seem to be able to contain her, though..
What..? You think "Scribbles" & "Song" are one in the same..? No, no! They definitely are not the same! Our sweet princess Scribbles vs. The Firey Queen Song? They couldn't be more different! Oh..? You say their eyes are the same..? No.. you're just imagining things.. ]
