soulping | EPONA + RATATOSKR + TIAMAT + JACK PANTHER

[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.

Hey. Do you know anything about wounds?

[Sniffing at the body to see if anything smells off...]

[don't sniff it that's gross . . . ]

I do not, no.

[But I don't have hands okay :<]

Oh. I dunno, this looks fishy to me. Could you check his pockets?

...sorry. Uh. Ex husband. We'll solve this.

We will, indeed.

[she nods, hesitantly, at the request and kneels down to carefully check in his pockets, all while trying not to disturb the body]

[There's nothing in his pockets. He's wearing only his pajamas, though, which seems a bit odd.]

How come he gets to wear less clothes than the rest of us? Talk about unfair.

. . . that is unfair?

This dress is strangling me. And he's wearing...hm. These are for sleeping, aren't they?

Edited 2014-04-30 03:48 (UTC)

. . . I . . . maybe? Why change clothes to go to bed, though?

I...dunno. It's just some of the weird stuff I know for the game. But if he was sleeping doesn't that mean he died before any of us got here?

So . . . would he have been killed in his sleep, then?

Either that or someone came in the middle of the night and they got into a fight. Hey, butler! When and what order did everyone arrive in?

The order? Ah, let me see...Young Master Fin arrived first, followed by yourself, Miss Delilah. Miss Angela and Mister Mortis arrived shortly after that, then Mister Marvin, Miss Layne, and finally Mister Inalie.

. . . n-not . . . not like that. . . .

I don't know too much, but it seems weird. Think you could check the surrounding area? See if anyone dropped anything?

Right - I'll do that - !

[looking around the immediate area, for any footprints or anything that's been dropped]

[The only footprints belong to the gardener and the butler, who erected the canopy. This is easily confirmed.]

Does it look like anyone else was here?

No, I don't think so. . .

I guess it wouldn't be that easy. They must have gotten whatever they were after when they pushed him over. Um. You wear these clothes to bed, right? Could you check where he sleeps? Since I guess you'd know that being his wife now and all.

. . .

Yes.

Yes, okay. Uhm. . . butler, we should . . . go to my husband's room.

[Right away, miss!

The bedroom contains a king-size four-poster bed, all rich mahogany and silk sheets, a chaise lounge, a large dresser, a ceiling high bookshelf, a window seat, and a walk-in closet. There are several paintings on the walls.]

[checking out. . . under his bed first, as well as noting if the bed is made or not]

[Under the bed you find several pairs of shoes and some dust bunnies.

The bed is very neatly made. It obviously wasn't slept in last night.]

[. . . hmm]

[looking through the bookshelf, then]
