[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.

I guess it is a good thing father isn't here...

Yeah, he would have been pretty upset about this, wouldn't he? Still, this is the kind of thing father does.

It is, yes.

...What makes you say that?

He'd be upset none of the money went to him, since they're business partners. I could've told him Mr. Graves would put most of it towards charity, if not his own children, though.

Phil left you a letter. Maybe it explains something?

Ah, maybe...I expected something like this, though.

Really?

He...he trusted me, very much. We talked about a lot of things, so...I knew him pretty well. He'd even told me where his will was hidden.

I'm glad he had a trustworthy confidante.

I'm glad for everything he did for me...I can't believe he's gone.

If you ever need anything... Give me a call, alright? I'm sure it would make him happy to know you're doing well.

...I wish I could tell him myself that I'm doing well.

...But I will, thank you.

Then... When you're done reading your letter, would you mind coming with me somewhere private, Angela?

Ah -- of course!

[ going over to her! ]

[Then, let's go to another room, for a bit. It doesn't really matter where, as long as there isn't... you know, everyone there.]

Angela... There's something I wanted to tell you. To be honest, it's the one of the reasons I came here in the first place. When I heard you were coming, I simply had to make sure I could come too. That's because...

[Okay, deep breath, I have to do this right, even if it's a play...]

...Because?

[ TAILWAG TAILWAG I KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING ]

[Your tailwag is correct, yes! ...That's actually kind of cute.]

Angela... We've known each other almost all their lives. Through both hard times and good times, you've been at my side. I know I've had a great deal of trouble settling down, and I'm nowhere near the man my father was. I know that your father will probably object to me until the time comes that I can prove myself worthy of you, but nevertheless. I can't imagine my life without you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, no matter what problems we might face, because I believe that with you by my side, nothing can hold me back. And at the same time, I want to be by your side, so that I can help you deal with whatever life throws at you.

Angela... will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?

You really are an idiot, Fin, you know that?

...But, I guess you're my idiot. And I'm kind of an idiot, too, for letting something like you being...you get in the way of what we have together. I love you, Fin. Of course I'll marry you.

Then, today, I'm the happiest man in the world!

[Have a big hug, Lupus. I am giving you one.]

[ pff hug

have a big kiss! ]

[Okay, I can do this. I've kissed you before, after all. And it's understood that this is acting... Right? Yes, kissing back.]

[ aaaaacting?

no I'm pretty sure I am actually Angela and you are actually Fin. this kind of game was a terrible idea for me to be in ok

KISS KISS LOVE LOVE ]

[Um. Well, okay. I can deal with this. I will just... Continue pretending to be Fin. There is no way this can turn out badly.

Let's just... see how long this can last...]

[ long enough for her to wall you if you let her

But then she just nuzzles against Diz's shoulder, sighing happily. ]

At least we have each other.
