[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.

What's your character's name? Or, ah.....wait, let me try that again.

[a theatrical cough, then she bows and affects a deeper voice]

Miss, may I have the honor of knowing your name?

[she smiles]

Of course. Her, ah, my name is Angela. Angela Mortis. And you, sir?

[DRAMATICALLY DROPS TO ONE KNEE]

Angela....my dear, sweet Angela, your little joke is like a knife to my heart. I was only joking myself, but....You wouldn't be so cruel as to forget me, Fin Graves, in all seriousness!

[pauses, then puts a hand to her mouth and tries her best to look thoughtful]

Fin Graves... Let me see if I can recall. [pauses again, but then a smile breaks out] Of course I did not forget you! Now come off the floor.

[putting on the lovestruck puppy eyes, but not quite managing it because lmao this is Lace, so she's trying not to giggle]

Yes, of course. As you wish! [Getting up.] We must focus on other matters this evening, and all.

Indeed. It must have been rather important for him to call us all here at one time, after all. I hope nothing is amiss.

I wasn't referring to that, but....yes, it's definitely rather curious of Father to do something like this. He always valued his privacy, you know.

Then what were you referring to?

[DRAMATIC PAUSE.]

The issue of our engagement, of course! You know I hold you dear to my heart, as always, so....

[pausing but w/e maybe it will help them win if she plays along]

Yes, I... I think I'm finally ready, Fin.

You are?!

[the surprise sounds real because??? wow that's a twist]

I mean.....I'm glad you finally accept my feelings! Perhaps without your father here, it's easier for you? In either case, let me say this properly....as a man should. Ahem!

[gets down on one knee again and gestures dramatically]

Angela Mortis, will you be my bride?

It has nothing to do with father, but I've been thinking lately... Time passes so quickly. I'm already nearly 30.

[smiles]

Yes, I will!

And yet you still look as radiant as you did when we were both fresh-faced youths.

[theatrical MANLY tears]

You shall not regret this, Angela. I've always been serious about my intentions toward you, and now I can finally prove that.

I am simply glad you never gave up despite all the rejections.

You should know by now that I'm too stubborn for that.

Wonderfully stubborn.
