"M. Biff, were any of Frank's friends interested in conducting odd or strange science experiments or medical experiments? The sort of thing students would only do out of hours, without approval."

Biff’s brow furrows in confusion.
“Science experiments? Geez, Frank was a classics student. He never talked about anything to do with science, or experiments. That sure wasn’t his thing. He was an art and poetry guy, you know, that kind of stuff. But he did have some screwy ideas. He talked about magic and the existence of different dimensions. He'd ramble on about stuff like that - I never paid much attention. But I don’t think he was that serious about it. It was just that crowd he was mixing with.”

"Tell us about this crowd," says Alice. "Who was part of it?"

“I don’t really know any of them” says Biff. “They’re the bohemian set, you know, they talk about great art, literature and philosophy and what-not. Pretty pretentious. Mostly just enjoy the sound of their own voices, in my opinion. Their favourite hangout is the Desolate Highway Café, if you care to talk to any of them”.
Biff thinks. “Actually, there is one of them who could probably tell you about Frank. Asenath Derby. She’s the leader, I think. I heard that Frank was having an affair with her, but he was very coy about it. She’s married you know”.
Harrison,Harrison will have seen Asenath Waite Derby at the Café and on campus before. She’s very attractive and exerts a powerful pull on the other students in her circle. She hails from Innsmouth, and is definitely the subject of rumours regarding dark magic. She’s not easy to talk to, disdaining strangers, so Harrison hasn’t had the pleasure.

"Thank you, we didn't know that," says Alice. "That is helpful. Could you please describe her so we'll recognize her? Do you know her address? If not, we could just find her at the café?.

"I know of her." Harrison says. "I can point her out if I see her at the Cafe although I've never actually spoken to her before."

”I’ve no idea about her address” says Biff. ”I’ve never met her”.
His face suddenly screws up in misery. ”Please believe me. I had nothing to do with Frank’s death”.

"We'll get to the bottom of this,"Alice assures him. "I can't think why the police would even suspect you if not for the fact that you were his roommate, and that proves nothing. One of the great things about America is that you have the presumption of innocence."

Biff nods meekly. “Thanks so much” he says in a subdued voice.

"On the upside, M. Biff, I doubt anyone will want to share a room with you after this, so you will likely have a room to yourself." With that, Balzac tips his bowler and departs the room.

OOC,Is everyone leaving now? Are there no more questions for Biff?

Isadora has no questions to Biff. She finds that she is actually quite eager to see the local bohemians.

"You're welcome, and thank you for your help," says Alice. "We'll let you know if we have any further questions."
OOC,Yes, I'm ready to go.

"Just one last thing, you said that Frank sometimes stayed out. What did you mean by that?" Harrison says. "And how often would that occur?"

Biff shrugs. “Not so often. I assume he was with a lady friend. Probably Asenath, if the stories are true. He never denied seeing her”.
