CHAPTER ONE
"A Murder Mystery Role Play"
Once everyone had been shown to their rooms, you would find that the role cards that Jade said would be inside to be missing. Perhaps plans had changed? Regardless, the knock on your door would come soon enough. On your way to the lobby, nothing seemed really out of the ordinary...
However, the same couldn't be said for the lobby itself. A quick examination would reveal an unsettling sight: Rita Mordio lay motionless on the lobby's floor. She was at the side of the room in a puddle of what appeared to be blood. It's not entirely unexpected as this was meant to be a mock murder mystery, right?
Except, as Jade walked in to greet your group, he looked confused upon seeing Rita.
"That is... very strange." Moving across the lobby, Jade came to stand over Rita. Letting out a sigh, the man raised a hand to his face and adjusted his glasses. "Everyone, I advise you to stay calm and under no circumstances should you leave this room until I've finished talking. Rita was not to be our pretend victim tonight... it appears she's been murdered for real." Looking over the group, Jade seemed to be deeply thinking about something. "... I will check with the Prinnies just to be sure, but no one else but this group and the other employees of the hotel should have had access to this part of the hotel. So..."
Looking back down at Rita, Jade nodded. "So, someone in this room is likely the killer."
"This can't get back to the party. This night is for Lady Melodia, and she deserves a pleasant evening. This stays between the people in this room. I will contact the authorities when the night is over, but that may be too late... So, hm. All right. Obviously, our pretend murder mystery has been cancelled, as it seems a real one must be solved. Interesting, isn't it? If all of you have nothing to hide, then you are obligated to assist. Obviously, I will help best I can."
Leaning down next to Rita's body, Jade examined the girl closely. "I'll need help looking the body over. Some of you check out the room for anything else that might assist us. If you leave to go back to the party, under no circumstances are you to tell the other guests. A panic could start and make our personal investigation impossible."
With your current situation as it was, you had a few options to you. Would you investigate Rita's body? Check for wounds? Search her pockets?
Perhaps you would look around the body for clues?
If you wished, Jade didn't seem to mind if you wanted to head back to the party, but telling anyone of the that a real murder had occurred instead of a fake one was forbidden.
After an hour had passed within the party, the man named Jade had gathered people around for a so-called game. Wadanohara was a little amused that her name had been called for a so called 'murder mystery game'. It sounded like it could be fun, but nothing compared to how she usually treated her own little toys back in the Red Sea. The players were then ushered into their rooms where they would get their 'role cards'.
Except there were no role cards. Wadanohara found this to be a curious, curious thing, sitting in the provided hotel room with nothing to do. She almost wished she had been in the same room as Sal, if merely to have someone to talk to or torment. When she was finally out of her room, what did everyone in the 'game' see? "Oh," the witch blinked, surprised, as everyone else gathered to look around the body, or scattered to look around for clues. She looked up for a moment to see her old shark familiar investigate around for clues, and having little else to do, decided to take a look at the body with a few others.
The girl who had died looked so young, young enough to remind Wadanohara of herself. She watched as the others argued and stared hard at each other, before looking over at the body. A slashed throat, and then some object that had been shattered nearby. Then someone said there could have been a struggle. Then a bruise on the body when someone gently moved it to see any more injuries. It looks like they're doing fine by themselves and they don't need me here. With a small shrug, the witch walked after Sal and the others with him. She had long un-summoned her staff and was back to walking around normally.
Besides, they were investigating - interrogating - the 'Prinnies' that she had been very interested in earlier. Come to think of it, what had happened to Captain-Commander Kieran, again? She had abandoned helping him earlier, and now it seemed like there was no sign of the knight.
Her red eyes caught the blue fae-girl and she walked over to her in interest, blinking as a Prinnie's scarf was stolen away by the other. The penguin had started trembling, flabbergasted, and Wadanohara giggled slightly. She didn't look too out of place standing next to this Cirno and Peashy, looking small and childlike herself. "Why did you steal the scarf from it? Poor thing," the small witch cooed over the trembling penguin.
