soulping | TAKSHAKA + BARGHEST + GULGALLANA + LION

[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.

-- No!

Dee, do you need to lay down?

I...I have to see him. I can't lay down until then.

I don't think that's a good idea. From what he said, it ain't pretty.

[taking a moment to think...then finding a chair to have a seat]

Very well...We should, check the balcony at least. Just in case.

I'll take someone up there to check it and keep it locked down.

...I still remember the estate clearly, every inch of it. I'll start looking for clues. If something is amiss...I'm sure I'll see it.

Shit, you know him best - who would do this kind of thing?!

I don't...I don't know who would possibly want to kill him. He was always so kind...

Yeah, but someone got him killed!

Do you at least know what he got killed for?

...There were rumors that he considered rewriting his will. Whoever had done this would've benefitted from it remaining the same.

His will? What, did someone want to get to it and give themselves a bigger share of the money?

They wouldn't have been able to change it themselves, not unless they're skilled at forgery...If someone did it, they would've been written in already with a considerable amount.

Ah...Miss Graves?

Yes, Angela?

Fin told me to come make sure you're okay, while he checks out...the body.

Thank you...I'll be all right.

...You should make sure that Fin is feeling better when he comes back. I can't imagine he'd be in a healthy state after seeing his own father's corpse.

He's an idiot, but...you're right. I wanted to cry, when I heard.

[And I'm back.]

Back before you know it, as promised. I don't know how much what we found will help, but we did manage to find something, at least.

What is it?

It seems like he went down fighting. We'll have to find out what the office is like to get some more information, though.

Does...does anyone here look like there were in a fight...?

You found something? What is it?

It's not as simple as being pushed off a balcony, at least. It looks like he was fighting someone for at least a while. There's a bruise on his wrist, too. That could mean he was hit by something, but it could also mean he was grabbed by the wrist.

So whoever murdered him was strong enough to overcome him in a fight...
