[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.

Why, hello, my dear. Might I, Finn Graves, know if you're enjoying your evening?

[Dapper crossdressing young lady here.]

Stop messing around, Finn. You know who I am.

[ Links arms and smiles~ ]

[You are a cruel person.]

[Linking arms with and I'm gonna hope it's who I think.]

Do I? [Gasp.] Why, I don't know if I've ever meant an angel before.

Oh, you.

[ Lightly swats her hand with a chuckle. ]

This is a nice place.

[OH GOOD, YOU CALLED JACK FATHER.]

[Just puts on the widest smile, looking pleased as much.]

Father does have excellent taste. Now if only the weather wasn't so dreadful. I would have loved to show you the horses.

[Fancy places have horses, right?]

Such a shame. I hope the skies clear soon, it would be an awful shame to miss out on seeing them.

[ She hasn't a clue. :') ]

Oh, it would. I think you'd absolutely adore Buttercup, she's such a sweetie.

[Roxy just has an innate feeling that maybe horses are fancy places, no idea why ~~thanks Dirk~~]

So, what else can you show me while we're trapped inside?

[...what do fancy homes even HAVE.]

Perhaps the library? There's nothing like curling up with a good book while you're trapped inside.

Books? You have to show me, there aren't many books at our place. Father's collection of glasses takes up most of the wall-space.

Oh, absolutely! [Whenever the round ends and we can leave the parlor.] Glasses? I did not realize he had such a love for fine...glassware. [There is probably a better name for that and I do not know it.]

-- spectacles! I'm sorry, the proper word slipped my mind there for a moment.

[ Small, awkward laugh here. ]

[...]

[Your dad is a drunkard isn't he.]

[This is some ironic shit right here.]

Ooooh, of course, of course that's what you mean. [Pats her hand on his arm.] Spectacles are a marvelous invention. Who knew refracted glass could do so much.

Indeed. Though, he favours the ones that block out light. It's all quite unusual.

Well, shades are rather cool. [Fuck if I would know that's not a time appropriate word.]

That may be true, but they're far from cool when they're lining the walls. Hundreds of them! They're just... everywhere!

[...why does this sound like totally legit and normal possible behavior.]

[Booze not surprising, but shades too?]

That does make me think like you'd always feel as if you were watched.

Would it? They don't have eyes, they're just glass.

True enough, but eyes hide behind them.
