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.

I suppose the letters should be delivered to their respective owners, though I must admit the temptation to open them now is strong.

Is there anything in the will that might point to a culprit?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

I can ask them what's in it. It's addressed to them and I know my mother wouldn't do this and Angela DEFINITELY wouldn't.

[Reading this will.]

....

[Leaning over and whispering.]

All right, I do not have proper societal context for this. Is this obvious murder motive in here or not?

[carptricks]

[keeping character as he answers]

That would depend on how much is in his personal accounts. If it's a hefty sum, then I would say you and your siblings have fine motives for murder.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Leaning back. All right, thinking on that. Then will look surprised.]

I-I guess so? But I only found out about this just now! And neither my brother nor sister are here.

[Though...perhaps...]

We should deliver the letters. [Putting the will in the envelope.]

[carptricks]

Yes, let's. I must admit I'm highly intrigued.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

And after that...

How good would you say you are at reading surprise? [Heading for the door.]

[carptricks]

Quite good, actually.

[following her]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Then perhaps we should read the will aloud and see who reacts.

[carptricks]

[his mouth twitches a bit in amusement]

I have quite the impressive reading voice, too.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She grins.] Excellent.
