murder manor week one



sunday

[As promised, on Sunday morning at 9 AM, the grandfather clock in the foyer begins to chime. The doors to the drawing room are left open, although the doors to the smoking room adjacent are locked. Set out in the drawing room is a fine selection of coffee, tea, fruit, and pastries. There are also enough chairs, lounges, and sofas for everyone to have a seat.

Once everyone has filed in, the doors to the drawing room will close and lock]

This is an NPC post as well as an open mingle. Players may reply to the NPC, or may discuss the game amongst themselves. Players will be locked in the room until 10 AM. Please see the plot and in character rule pages below. Anyone wishing to submit a murder for the week must do so by Monday at 9 PM EST.

The Hostess - 9:15 AM

[productions]

[Shortly after the doors close, the doors to the smoking room will open, briefly. The Hostess steps into the room. Today she's dressed in a different long black gown, sleeveless, with long white opera gloves. She still wears a veiled hat over her face.]

Good morning, everyone. I imagine it was quite an interesting night for all of you!

[She chuckles to herself, and then places a stack of papers down on one of the tables. The papers are clearly designed to be insert into the notebooks with information cards in them.]

Now, don't all get up at once, but please do come take these. We will read them along together.

[The Hostess allows several minutes for everyone who wishes to to come take a copy of the rules. Once everyone has sat down again, she will lift a notebook of her own, and will read the contents of the paper out loud.]

And there you have it, everyone! Now, feel free to help yourself to breakfast. The competition will officially begin at 10 AM. Best of luck to all!

((Feel free to react in this thread or elsewhere in the post. The Hostess will not be replying to all comments.))
