Bittersweet Candy Bowl

*walks away from guard with a look of disgust* *also toward lark and gameking*

well… that was useless… you guys want to try and figure this out?

(out of charicter: Hay ILB you might want to add NPCs and what they do and how they act.)

(You control the guard as you wish, Sean-, as said guard is not a real part of the game. Keep it within acceptable limits, though. ^_^)

(ooc, i agree… that was the most uneventful conversation with a guard ive ever had… and ive played morrowind before… )

“sigh” thanks anyways Lark.

“Drifts back over to bar”

Bartender, Pour me another burban, a tall one please.

(Eh, we do not normally do anything with NPCs except that the host controls them on occasion. There is no real need for them, as the mysteries are always solved within the inundated circle. ^_^)

(ooc: just a sugestion. No big deal ILB, Was just a thought)

(No, it is fine. I apologise for being such a conservative drag. ^_^)

(ooc: how can we figure out who the killer is, if we dont have any outside info?)

bloody guards… *sits at the bar* well gameking… looks like this one is on us…

(Well, there will be more murders. Clues will be delivered at strategical points in time, and otherwise common sense and cold logic should help find the killer. Oh, and players are encouraged to come up with clues of their own - although they may be deemed non-canon by the leaders. ^_^)

“sigh”
“Pulls a deck of worn cards out of his coat poket”

Wanna play some blackjack to pass the time? We’ll only play for straws.

Hay sean, you keep the knife?

Blackjack? Deal me the cards, mister.


(I am botching this already. ^_^)

“Shuffels the deck and deals to Commi- and any one else who plays”

Souds good to me.

… yah sure, ill play. and of course i kept the knife. it was made out of silver, and you know how much silver is worth.

*A figure slowly emigres from the shadows and quickly snatches the cards out of Gamking218’s hand. A small smirk is on Jerk’s face as he begins to look through the hand.*

Well it looks like ole Boomie was offed, he wasn’t by chance stabbed 48 times was he?

*Jerk laughs at his joke as he begins to play.*

(To lazy to type your whole name, sorry.)

umm… no? this isnt macbeth you know. (hahaha)
so… 14 eh? hit me.

“Shoots Vincy a look”
You could have asked to be dealer, i don’t like to be dealer any ways.
“Turns to sean”
mind if i see it for a monment?

Shi… (12) hit me

sure… *gives gameking the knife* be careful though, its still covered in blood. speaking of blood, this dry blood on me is starting to get itchy….

*Jerk shakes his head.* Not Macbeth, Caesar my boy. And I simply wanted your hand Gamie but I would be more than happy to deal for you.

“examins the knife”;
Hmmmm a little elagent for my taste. a noblemans knife maby.
“hands it back to sean”

*takes knife* hrm… 19… i’ll hold.

so… how are we gonna go about this?

*hums*

You know, Gameking-, you really should keep an eye on your hand there.

*keeps on humming*

“reaches hand into another poket and pulls out a large set of sticks and evenly devides amongst the players”
We each have 30 straws bet as you will.

Commi eyes to your self.

right… so, i assume practice is over? lets do this, Deal me jerk!

Crap, a six. i fold

*With a smirk, Jerk deals everyone one at the table a hand.* Sure thing Sean, so anything else interesting about the body that you noticed?

How we go about it? We improvise~

*caresses own hand while whistling*

And Sean, keep an eye on your hand there.


(I cannot seem to do this right. I am sorry, Commie. ^_^)

Yea new hand, New game, New luck.

“Hides hand from Commi”
(hrmmm ace and a 3)

I bet 4 straws
Hit me Vincy.

*stares at hand* well, other than the knife wound in his back… there really wasnt anything… my bootmark is in his sides though couse i tripd over him…
*looks at cards again* hit me
i think i may have heard running… but then again… i was on the outskirts of the forum… so it could have been anyone…

But you should still keep your hands close, Commie has sharp eyes. *Winks to the girl and deals the cards.*

(You’re doing fine ILB, just play me as you kinda did Paula.)

(Crap! That is suppose to say Jerk, sorry guys.)

The outskirts, hmmm thats a bit far for a nobel man to be. I should know, no one carries silver anything out there.

(But then I will start despising myself for it. I hated Paula. She was like Cruella de Vil, only worse. ^_^)

*whistles innocently*

And quick fingers…

… the outskirts of the forum… not the city…

*looks at cards again* hit me

If you wanted to kill someone would you really do it on your home turf? The guards would be sniffing around and who knows what they would find. It could have been anyone. *Looks around the table with a mischievous glint in his eye.*

(I really only meant that you needed to be meaner, and more conniving, but since I am an actress and can bend to any situation you can play me anyways you want.)

(ooc: forum, city same to me)

(Shit a king)
“Sigh” hit me

(I do try to make you appear guilty of something, if that is any closer. ^_^

Oh, and *Ninja is here now. I guess he will either shout at me for doing the wrong thing, or join in gladly. ^_^)

(so… ilb is playing lacommie… i would pay to see this… )

*looks at cards* 21. 3,4,7,7

so…

\(edit: forum means market, were in the market district of rome)

Look again, Sean-…

*whistles innocently while shuffling a card into her hand*

What you got dealer?
i hold.

(17)

*Wags finger at Sean and flips over his hand, relieving an Jack and an Ace.* Dealer wins.

“Sigh” Same old luck.
“passes 4 straws to VIncy”

*eyes la commie suspiciously*

so, now that ive…. what!?! what do you mean dealer wins? damn… i thought i had it…

I think Commi’s fingers are as sticky as her tongue is slipery.

… i think i like where this is going. so la commie, you want share any… truth on your slippery tongue?

Oh? What d’you mean?~

*reveals hand, displaying the same cards as Jerk*

“i think…” leaning aginst the wall “That a pretty face can hide a cruel heart”
