Who: Detectives and Killers
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 89, evening

[ You step through a door, or maybe an archway, or even an open space - you take one step forward and find yourself in a fancy but unfamiliar manor. Outside, it is thundering and dark, and in front of you is the door to the lobby.

In the lobby itself, there is a skeleton in a dress on the ground, and enough chairs circling the spectacle for everyone to sit, color-coded to unit even.

In blood, the ground has this written on it:

It was a dark and stormy night. The victim, a 53 year old woman, was killed in the comfort of her own manor. She was found in the basement, but it's clear the murder didn't take place there. Four parties helped participate in this murder: this much is clear.

The woman was killed with a ______ in the ______. The killers did so because______. In order to hide the body, they ______; she was found months later in the basement.

The rules are written for you as well, in just the same manner. Please make your own toplevels for discussions. ]

DRINKS?

[thechampagneking]

[powers are on, huh? Manhattan wanders out of the BARiTONES room and announces:]

Who needs a drink? I know I'm not the only one.

[softlyfalling]

—I don't have much to pay with, unfortunately, but.

[thechampagneking]

Consider it a public service. I need water though, unless you're just ready to be at a .08.

[softlyfalling]

...it'd be too kind of them to leave us a water fountain in here, wouldn't it.

[thechampagneking]

Offer stands.

[he flourishes a hand]

[softlyfalling]

Y-you know what, the actual method doesn't matter that much to me right now. Whatever you can do, just go for it.

[thechampagneking]

My pleasure.

[and with a tap on her neck, she's going to feel pretty instantly like she's had a few]

[softlyfalling]

[ her posture relaxes from being a bundle of coiled nerves. ]

Ah—'s not bad. Thanks. I'm not looking forward to watching the results come in...

[thechampagneking]

[drunk loves company - Manhattan smiles wryly]

That makes two of us. I hasn't been the best day for BARiTONES.

[softlyfalling]

Ah—I heard, but I, uh. Didn't watch.

Did you know she was going to do that?

[thechampagneking]

Jesus, no. But in retrospect maybe I should have.

[DRINK]

[softlyfalling]

Easier to say now that the horrible murder's happened, I suppose. I don't like to imagine anyone in my unit as a hobbyist murderer.

Sorry it's ended up your problem, though.

[thechampagneking]

You're lovely, thank you. I'm hoping people don't hold it against our unit, but I can hardly blame them if they do.

[he seems pretty resigned]

[softlyfalling]

There's only so much you can do, I suppose.

I just hope it doesn't happen again—there's already so much death here...

[thechampagneking]

And what do you know, about to be more right now. You'd like a break would be in order.

[softlyfalling]

I'm starting to get the impression these producers don't believe in breaks... or, well, anything decent.

[thechampagneking]

Only starting? You must be as new as I am.

[softlyfalling]

Ah—maybe newer, I don't know that I've heard of that many people arriving after me. It's been...

[ she makes a vague, exhausted hand gesture in place of finishing the sentence. ]

How long have you been here?

Re: DRINKS?

[justfuckingtryit]

I'm surprised you don't have more takers.

[thechampagneking]

[shrugs, taking a drink from his own flask, already pretty drunk]

Their loss.

[justfuckingtryit]

Maybe people are trying to solve whatever the fuck bit of mystery there actually is.

[thechampagneking]

Yeah, well, I'm 100% certain that doesn't require sobriety.

[justfuckingtryit]

Fair. It's just a fucking choose-who-dies contest again, anyway.

[thechampagneking]

Yes, well, I've chosen to take a cowardly exit and let my team decide while I try to do a public service.

[justfuckingtryit]

It's an option.
