Bittersweet Candy Bowl

*Examines the body*
Fine, I’ll just do it…
*Eyes up the wound*
No, this was a quick stab. No real form. Definitly not a professional.
So a man with Greek coins and not-a-soldier. What now?
(OOC: I gotta go, be back later.)

Who? not shure but they’re either foren or gamble and i’d know if someone was gambling with Greek silvers, so my guess is foren.

So the killer is either real bad or realy good. “sigh”
Hopful my luck has changed and he’s realy bad.

If he was taking drugs and owed too much to a dealer they could have hired someone to take him out. Who are the local dealers?

*looks at gameking*
well… i wonder who that would be…

the one i us is LightorDark, a real skitzo, i don’t think he could pull together enough to have this done.

(ooc: sorry LightorDark but yours was the best choise so i picked it)

I only do small amounts and nowere near that potent. That was high grade stuff.

was the stuff greek?

Not shure were it came from but definatly imported.

so, for now we assume the killer was greek

Wealthy foreigner that deals in the under ground drug market?
It must be either a merchant or a drug dealer. Preferably the less murderous one.
So Greek, wealthy, and drugs. Sounds like an entertaining fellow.

so… the drug dealer *has deep hearty laugh*

That may be Gameking but Dark could force someone to do this, explaining the sloppiness. (I don’t hold it against you. Dark is shady.)

He could be any body, even your local tax collecter.

Or she.

You’re assuming I pay my taxes.

or she,as i said could be anybody

Well it’s geting late and i deed to find a comforetable place to sleep so i might you people later.

We need something definite. An eye witness, a profession, anything. All of these clues are too general to be incredibly helpful.
Is it possible our dead friend was dealing with some Greek individuals?

right, im going to go and ask around the forum to see if i can scrounge up any extra info.
*walks off to go find info*

(sorry guys, i am really tired as i havnt been sleeping well lately, and therefor, am going to bed. i shall rejoin you later tommorow)

“turns and shuffels away and back into the cantral forum”

(ooc: gotta sleep, will be back on tomarow sometimes after one oclock central time)

Well, now this alley is relativly empty, and that means slightly more dangerous, given the drugs and murders. I’ll be at the tavern, doing something important.
(OOC: Surprised my phone’s batteries have not self imploded, so small victories. Night.)

Guess i’ll go as well.
(See ya’ll around 3:30)

*Gabriel sat behind the counter at his art stall, diligently attempting to finish his latest work of art. It was another one of his fancomics, but he didn’t like the way it was turning out. As he carefully inked in the lines of Larken’s ears, something seemed definitely off. One was slightly bigger than the other one. Sighing, he inked in the other ear so that it matched the first. But now Larken looked more like Abbey if he had been painted black. Grumbling to himself, he put his latest “failure” into the steadily growing pile of rejects. Taking out another piece of paper, he looked at the empty spot where he was hoping to put the comics he felt were good enough to sell. It had been a bad day for drawing; the town crier kept disturbing his work.*

Oh well, it obvious I’m not going to get any work done. I may as well go and see what the fuss is about.

(Hi there, *Ninja. ^_^)

*notices Gabriel- approaching, and glomps him*

Hello, Kaxbe-. Do you know where JB is? ‘Cuz he doesn’t, but the rest of us do.

(You guys can make me a random person getting killed if you want to)

(Hee. I think that is the first time where somebody has volunteered themselves to be killed in an MMG. ^_^)

(I am always intended to be DEAD. Will always be.)

(note for ILB, i will not be on until very late tonight (maybe around 7 -4gmt) but i might not even be on at all. )

(Oh, that is fine. This is a spare time endeavour, so you play when you can and want to.


And since Skitty was so nice as to volunteer, I think we will have a murder soon. If there are any players around, that is. ^_^)

(*Emerges from the floor*

Morning ILB.

)

(Hee. Anybody else here? ^_^

And, of course, a very good morning to you, too.)

So Ninja-, you should try being sarcastic soon.

(What are you talking about ILB? I am Always deadly serious about everything.

)

-Sean.

(That was an in-character comment, just so you know. Nothing insinuated. ^_^

Oh, and I realised - the * was missing.)

Salutations Gabriel. I see your artistic nature has given you excellent recycling habits.

@Leaving a Comment:
I’m sure Junior is just lying around somewhere, though if he continues to sleep naked he will most certainly catch his death of cold.

*stares, nonplussed, at Ninja-*

He’s dead, Jimmy.

… Deal with it.

*puts on sunglasses*

(I love you so much for that ILB <3)

Hey Gabe, whacha you drawing today?

I don’t suppose you would have any ideas as to why though.

*With a smile*:

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

(Jeez, this got a lot of comments for only one day up)

Hi, how is everyone doing today? ^_^

/MURDER 2/
What do I see? I cannot believe my eyes! It’s another corpse, yessiree, and it was stabbed in the back just as the first one, only to the right! What suspense, what significance! But who is it? Do you know? But what is this? MiwAturu-, who found the body, has found something on the body! Is it… Yes, I believe it is… An ID! What does it say? Yes… Yes… It says that the victim’s name is skykitty-. But how does that help us? Oh, what do I see over there? It is Lark90- and Gameking218-, those two chums, coming to see what the racket is all about. And I think… Yes, they are terribly surprised by this turn of events! And what is this? The white linen rag fits perfectly into the victim’s clothes! How exciting, how enticing! What will transpire from this? Watch for the next thrilling installment in this suspenseful series!


(I killed skykitty prematurely, just because there were so few people online at the same time. I do hope this can be forgiven by all parties. ^_^

The following posts will include a list of all characters and clues thus far.)

ILB-: A young woman who stands behind one of the market stalls. The gleeful smile never leaves her face, something that causes some confusion because it is hard to know exactly why she is smiling. Generally, however, she spreads happiness to those around her. (Played by MiwAturu)

Leaving a Comment-: The loud and obnoxious actress who seems to have quite a bit to say, and she is not afraid to say it. Loudly voicing her opinions for all to her, this girl is more that happy to state what she believes and thinks with more than a slight bit of sarcasm. She tries to stand up for the underdog and reach out to people but often fails at helping. If pushed be prepared to face her wrath, she offers no mercy. (Played by ILB)

Jerk-: Hello, ladies. Look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to Jerk, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like Jerk and not a lady. (Played by Leaving a Comment)

Gabriel Kaxbe-: A sufferer of mood swings (or one lucky enough to have them, as he would put it). His erratic behavior can only be attributed to his life of hardship and self-inflicted misery. It seems that with each mood swing he gets more badass, though. Last time he had a mood swing, he went from happy to angry and then jumped out of an exploding helicopter to catch in his teeth the bullet that was about to kill the president. Because of his skill, he is a secret agent (but you cannot tell anyone!). He is currently hiding out in a bungalow which he built himself. One of the many safehouses that he might have to use in five years time. (Played by *Ninja)

Sammy-: The quietly sarcastic, ever-world-weary teacher. He can deal with whatever you put in front of him, but only after swearing mutedly at you from behind your. Ever cursed with a nagging wife and a demanding child, he often seems to be on the point of either suicide or homicide; sometimes it looks to go either way. He is the man you want to have on your side on an argument, although he often stays out of conflicts. (Played by Jacob83)

Goldwulf Q. Triplesexy-: A tired working man, a romantic who feels his time may be passed, while generally nice can be a bit snippy at times and depressed on weekends after a drink or two or around crowds, low alchohol tolerance, often random in comments but random with meaning. (Played by sammy)

Lark90-: A masacistic man who drifts around and sticks his nose in everyone elses buesness. Tells nothing but the truth but usualy only tells enough to cause trouble. Has a second personality thats just an asshole version of himself. Heonly comes out about once a month.Very impusive behaveure and enjoys sthe drama he creates by his partial truths and that other people make.Is only truly loyal to his friends, everyone else he just fucks with. (Played by Gameking218)

Gameking218-: Local gambler, known to get in too deep with the wrong men. Has a strange fascination with gambling activities where no one loses any money, many involving various coins and rules. Known to stay for long stretches at taverns, playing against others and listening to the story tellers. Nice to a fault, and frequently puts his foot in his mouth. Metaphorically, of course. (Played by Lark90)

*Ninja-: … Is an assassin in training who frequents the Forum on a semi-regular basis. His actions outside the Forum are predictably shrouded in mystery, but he is outgoing and relatively friendly despite this. Has an irrational affinity for poor disguises that are designed not to hide his identity, but to amplify the emotion he is attempting to convey. When he visits the Forum, he can most often be found lurking around the artists’ stalls or tossing sarcastic or insightful comments into the various debates depending on his mood. (Played by Sean)

Sean-: A workaholic in the theatre who always wishes for more free time, but becomes bored when no one else is around. Generally a calm and fairly easy-going young man who tends to roll with the punches as opposed to succumbing to anger. Tends to approach situations cautiously in order to access exactly who or what he is dealing with, but is by no means shy. Likes to keep the status quo, but due to a low tolerance for people getting screwed over, he will step in and “resolve” the issue and with force if violence is involved. Will also sometimes step on other people’s toes without realizing such and make the occasional bad joke. May be found doing various maintenance around the Forum and near the artist stalls during breaks. (Played by GoldenArbiter01)

HB-: A lonely teen who you may see walking about the fourums socolizing with people. He tends to stay down for a while when things get him that way, but he stands back up as soon as he thinks he can. he aspires to be great one day, but dosent see that happening. He likes many things and can keep himself occupied if he needs to. He enjoys writting and sketching but is sure that most of it sucks. (Played by TheLightorTheDark)

GoldenArbiter-: Generally friendly with good(ish) grammar and spelling. hates people but likes having them around as meat shields. did i mention he is paranoid? well, he is. very scientific, always logical, sometimes being very McCain-Esq. likes long walks on the beach. good actor. doesn’t trust anyone who he doesn’t know. prefers quiet. (Played by Goldwulf Q. Triplesexy)

LightorDark- *: A man of five personalities. One of evil, one of good, one of great fury, one of great sorrow, one normal. Known to pop up suddenly and dissappear just as fast. (Not currently played)

MiwAuturu- *: A man who seems to hang around quite a bit, but isn’t know for saying very much. He does tend to write a lot, but won’t share what he writes for the most part. Has the habit of ruining jokes with overanalysis, usually starting with “Well technicaly…” (Not currently played)

Jacob83- *: The often overly cheerful and rather odd teen. More often then not he’ll just be trying to find a person to talk with or something to play with, well either that or sticking his nose in another persons business when they don’t want it. A lover of his own bad sarcasm but also a pretty good shoulder to cry on so to put it simply; he’s good to keep around as long as you can deal with his jokes. (Not currently played)

OHLAWD- *: A strange young lad to say the least. His large mushroom shaped hair is usually the first thing that puts people off, but not the last thing. He is often seen where odd garments of clothing depicting creepy baby dolls wearing overalls and plaid or a portrait of a man only known as “The Kramer.” His dialect is very foreign, causing most people to come to the conclusion that he’s from the West. However, despite these oddities, he is a very hearty chap and can go on for hours on just about any subject. (Not currently played)

Junior Boomer- *D: An optimistic youth who has yet to find his goal in life. He tries his best to be a good person but occasionally gets into other peoples business. He is lazy and can’t be bothered to do most anything unless it’s in his best interest. (Not currently played; also dead)

skykitty- *D: Who is this? Nobody seems to know. But it does not matter anyway. We only just found the body… (Not currently played; also dead)

Town Crier (Narrator): If you hear anybody shouting at the top of her lungs about something that is at the bottom of everybody’s “what I care about” list, it is definitely this one. But ever so occasionally, she says something that is worth listening to… (Narrator; played by ILB)


EXPLAINATION
* behind a name means that the character has not been chosen by anyone. Unless a D is also behind the name, it is up for grabs.
D behind a name means, of course, that the character is dead and cannot be played by anyone.


CLUES
- Junior Boomer- was stabbed inexpertly, hidden inexpertly, and robbed inexpertly. The murderer is either an amateur or an expert.
- A piece of white linen rag was discovered, and it had been torn off somebody’s clothing.
- The victim’s shoes had a false bottom (you figure out how); there were narcotics inside. (Yes, narcotics existed in ancient times. ^_^)
- A Greek coin was found near the body. It must have been dropped by the killer, since nobody owns up to it.
- The white linen rag was, apparently, a piece of skykitty-’s clothing. What significance does this have?

Holy shi, another body!

“neals down and examins the knife and wound”

This scrap of rag matches her clothes. So it was from his next victem. Hmmmm

“Pulles the knife from the wound and examins it”

Hmmmmm, Silver, just like the last one but this time the blade was not dulled. He missed the bone, he may be geting better.

“Puts knife in a deep jacket poket”

“Flips the body over”

Hmm, another Greek silver? I wander what this means.

“pockets coin and seaches body”

Whats this? An id. Shit, says this skykitty was one of Queen Taeshi’s gaurds! How did she get involved in this?

(ooc: Hay i was wondering if the killer is one of us or an npc that has yet to be introudced? Also, kida hard to walk without a direction. We can make up a kinds of stuff but we know nothing of the killer you planed.)
