[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 changed to something vaguely 1940s Noir-ish and appropriate to your character. You all look very dapper, though you may be surprised to find yourself crossdressing. 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, Tod Mises, and Roger Mortis 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. Roger had a business meeting across the country that he was unable to get out of.

[just...eyeing his dress.]

[ ... snrk. ]

Nice dress.

[clears his throat, then bows]

. . . Thank you. It's one of my favorites.

[ ... Wow, jumping straight into your role, huh? Well, Cut guesses he should follow, if he's getting points. ]

Yeah, I bet. Anyway, what's your name?

Delilah Graves, but I go by 'Dee' for short.

Oh, you're Phil's wife then, right?

Ex-wife. We divorced when our youngest came of age.

You still come to see Phil often or something, though? Since you're here.

We're still close friends. We simply realized we'd find happiness elsewhere and left on good terms.

Sounds pretty nice.

Did he tell you what this meeting is about, then? Since I don't think anyone knows, and it's in the middle of nowhere.

[ -ok no do not laugh at the bearded man in the dress, do not ]

Mind if I ask your name, miss?

[ internally losing it tbh ]

[trying to keep his face straight as much as possible]

Delilah Graves, though you may call me 'Dee'.

And I'm Crim Inalie! Pleased to meet you, Dee.

-- Crim? It's been so long since we last met...How have you been?

Ah, well, I've been getting by. Nothing too fancy, I'm afraid.

So long as you're happy, that's what truly matters in the end.

I'm happy that Phil's still willing to bury the hatchet. We've let our feud go on for too long.

...I'm glad to hear it. Twenty years has been far too long.

Tell me about it. I missed the kids growing up and everything.

Ah, mother! It's good to see you again! It's Fin!

...How has father been lately?

Fin, it is so good to see you.

He seems to have been doing well the last time we spoke...But how have you been?

Well, I'm still trying to win Angela's heart. Thankfully, her father is missing this meeting. There's no way I'm going to fail this time. Just you watch, we'll be engaged before we leave.

You're quite persistent, aren't you...?

That's only natural. Even after all these years, I can't imagine being with anyone else. She's an angel.

A hard to get angel, but nobody said reaching Heaven would be easy.

No, they didn't...I assume you won't consider the possibility that she may not be interested?
