murder manor week zero



friday

[You wake in an unfamiliar bedroom, with no memory of how you came to be there and a sensation that something you once had is gone. The room you're in is luxurious and comfortable, but there is a musty feeling of disuse and decay in the air. Still, you've provided with new wardrobe perfectly tailored for you, a key ring that will unlock your bedroom door, so surely you're welcome to explore the manor?

Have a look around and make yourselves at home. You'll soon find you're not alone, but if any among you knows the secrets of this place, they aren't speaking.]

This is an open mingle log for arrival at the manor. Please put your character's name, location, and the time in the header of their comments. Characters are welcome to explore the manor and get to know one another; nothing else will be revealed to them today.

[Alice has come outside after examining the inside of the building and happens to be approaching the area when she hears the voice of a stranger. A young man? The comment about the Great Gatsby however gets a small snerk out of her and she slowly approaches him.]

I hate to spoil a good book for you, but people are murdered in The Great Gatsby. But really, try not to think about that of all things right now.

[humanic]

[winces] Oh, good. No wonder I failed that English test then.

I can't help it. It's like a curse. If something terrible doesn't happen soon, my entire worldview may just be shattered.

[allice]

Well try not to bring the rest of us into your misery. I would like to leave here relatively unharmed if I can manage it.

[humanic]

[He gives her a cheeky grin.] See, that's what makes me so great. My job's to think of all the worst things that could possibly happen to us so everyone else can get on with their optimism.

[allice]

Well keep it up, I suppose. In the mean time, I want to ask if you've found anything of interest out here? I only just got out of that building and I haven't seen anything.

[humanic]

[He shakes his head.] Haven't really gotten the chance to do that much exploring yet - I went straight for the fence when I saw it.

[allice]

Smart move, even if in vain. [She sighs and takes a look at the fence with a furrow of her brow.] Trouble is written all over this and I doubt they just want us for tea if they're so eager to make sure we don't leave.
