EPONA + RATATOSKR + TIAMAT + JACK PANTHER

[soulping]

[You are ushered out of the parlor and into a cozy sitting room. The storm continues to rage outside, but a roaring fire keeps the room nice and toasty.

As you enter, you find your clothes have changed to something vaguely 1940s Noir-ish and appropriate to your character. You all look very dapper, though you may be surprised to suddenly find yourself cross-dressing. At the same time, knowledge suddenly enters your mind- the role you will be playing in tonight's performance, information on some of your fellow guests, and the rules of the game, as well as the setup for the story.]

[RULES:
THIS IS A MURDER MYSTERY GAME! Investigate your surroundings, speak to your fellow guests, and solve the mystery! Points will be given for completing goals and appropriate IC roleplaying.

You can make private, friends-locked posts to other players for secret discussions, but you MUST include squeakofthedevil on the filter and drop a link here!]

NOTE: In this group, the parts of Kira Graves and Tod Mises are unclaimed. ICly, Kira will have been unable to attend due to both of her children being ill. Tod simply refused the invitation because he thinks his dad is a jerk.

Let's behave ourselves, children. Roger Mortis, here and accounted for. My lovely daughter is in attendance this evening, too.

[ This is bullshit. Can't there be any games where he just murders everyone? ]

[Haha.]

[HAHA.]

It's always a pleasure. I, Finn Graves, am too happy to welcome you to my family's humble abode.

[The most strained smile.]

[lifehacker]

[ Fuck me with a rake. ]

Awesome -- I mean, awes... fuck.

I'm watching you.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[:')]

[Just gonna keep that strained smile, though it may be less acting and more trying not to laugh.]

Why, I don't know why you would need to watch me, sir.

[lifehacker]

You seem pretty enchanted with my lovely little flower.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[....]

She's a lovely lady, sir. It would be impossible to not be enchanted.

[lifehacker]

That is the correct response.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

I'm glad to hear it. It's very true, after all.

Hello, father.

[ AHAHAHAHA ]

[lifehacker]

Wow, looks like I hopped into a time machine and made you.

I mean, hey, my little flower. You've made yourself awfully gorgeous for this event.

[onebullet]

[ Ever-so-slightly-strained smile. ]

I try. Are you enjoying the evening so far?

[lifehacker]

It's all business, sugar plum. Vodka would make it better.

[onebullet]

That's what you always say, father. Try to keep your rampant alcoholism under wraps while we're here, please? I don't want you embarrassing me.

[lifehacker]

[ ... sigh. ]

I'll behave, for your sake.

[onebullet]

Good. See to it that you do.

[ Playing a spoilt brat is pretty fun, who knew? ]

[carptricks]

[glancing around a the "party guests," eyebrow raised]

And which one is your lovely daughter?

[lifehacker]

Did you just imply my daughter isn't lovely? Is it because she's a ginger?

[carptricks]

Not at all, good sir. In fact, I'd say she's quite lovely.

[lifehacker]

Like a rose. All red and thorny.

[carptricks]

[. . . pffffft]

Are her thorns particularly sharp?

[lifehacker]

She's headbutted me before.

[carptricks]

[. . . HAHAHA. lifting a hand to suppress a snicker, ttly breaking character for a moment there]

I-- I see. A feisty one, your daughter.

[lifehacker]

Very. She is not easily tamed. The apple of my eye, she is.

[carptricks]

You're quite the lucky man.
