[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 didn't mean it like that. Um. Maybe she just wants to see some real commitment from you first before she commits. Anyway the letter might be important.

I had that thought too. I want to show her, I just haven't been able to with... [Waves hand.]

....do you think we should read it ourselves?

...Probably not, but I'll make the butler read it for me if you don't want to.

....

[Sighs.]

I'll read it.

Please forgive me, Angela, but it's for my father.]

[READING ANGELA'S LETTER.]

[Angela's letter thanks her for being a confidante and requests that she do her best to explain to her father why Phil left his money to charity instead of to his business partner. Angela has the same soft heart as Phil, so she should be able to make Roger understand. And also would she please hurry up and marry Fin already? Stop lying to yourself, girl, you two are perfect together.]

[Oh no.]

[Oh noooo, Phil, why were you awesome.]

I knew it. ...Wait. Why couldn't he explain to Roger himself?

Because people are stupid.

...

[Shrugs.]

The whole explanation is it's hard to tell people things when they're gonna be upset. Roger wasn't going to be happy he lost out on all that money.

Doesn't that sound like a motive to you.

It would be a rather strong one, yeah.

But...

[Nggggh.]

He's the only one we're finding any evidence against. But then what's the murder weapon?

We were trying to figure that out. How did the body look?

Part of the head was knocked in, um. And he was in his sleeping clothes. The butler also said he took dinner alone in his office. I sort of figure either someone hit him in the head, someone pushed him off the balcony or he was poisoned.

Hmmm, dun know enough about poison to say what would give that away. Caved in head was what I thought, but the letters and will distracted me.

But the thing is, it was Roger who found the coat that led us to think a fake out.
