ALECTRYON + DAWON + AMALTHEA
[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![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

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.

Always something like this...

At... least we get to deal with this as teammates.

Re: ROUND 1
I guess it's only right for a proper lady to make introductions.
[Chuckles a little awkwardly as he straightens himself up, chin high, voice prim and proper.]
Layne Ann Stayte. Mister Philip Graves is my beloved husband.
Re: ROUND 1
But no I am the better lady here CLEARLY so I must keep my gentle air about me even in front of you.
Enjoy the sloppy seconds I had him first. ]
Ah, Layne, it's been so long! Surely you remember his first wife, Delilah. But call me Dee, as all of my friends do, including Phil.

He lets his mouth thin, polite but not reaching his eyes.]
Well, we've never gotten to know one another, have we, Delilah? [Intentionally keeping the formalities, letting that smile broaden a bit.] It's a shame.
Philip always speaks so... fondly of you.
Re: ROUND 1
Laughs at that. ]
I should hope so! Phil has always been one my closest friends and confidants, through everything we've been through. I know him as good as he does.
[ Read: BETTER THAN YOU. ]
Re: ROUND 1
What a pity. You're such a strong-willed woman. So I'm sure you didn't mean for things to deteriorate, but then again, life works in those mysterious ways. You have your children, your health... and, I suppose, your friendship.
[AKA: Keep telling yourself that, you catty skank. The dude left you for a reason.]
