Bittersweet Candy Bowl

“No,But you’re High,thats for sure”

“yes dear frineds the host is back once more, the others apear to be at rest”

“do gather in the ballroom, we shall see if McCain will play us a song then”

You!!!!! (Points accusingly) I knew you were responsible for this strange gathering…..oh well let bygones be bygones. Good morning Sir, if you don’t mind I have to go work on some rather questionable things for an hour or two.

“I Doubt it,He doesnt seem to be in the best of moods.”

*Starts Walking towards the ballroom*

(mutters Some more) afterall McCain stills owes me a duel if he didn’t overdose that is….did Paulo spike my drink……that would explain the housewives and Eskimos, but not the ninjas…….

*Thinking:I knew Paulo would cause more trouble then he’s worth*

*Thinking:Most people here are addicted to something…*

((Hey guys. I’m rping as Paulo Martinez. I’m sorry, but seeing how busy I am, I can’t post right now despite being online. I honestly cannot focus on rping right now. This afternoon I’ll be back on.))

“my freinds as McCain plays a wonderful tunbe on the piano let me just say….”

Murder time!!!

The lights cut out as a crack of thunder fills the air, heavy rain pounding the roof of the manner, a slamming sound is heard and a swift wind sails through the room.

the lights come back on Tess (played by no one yet) is down on the ground blood pouring from her shoulder, she has fainted from the shock. Everyone with a look of suprise on their faces except Carter who stands there leaning on his shovel a single crossbow bolt pierceing his neck, with a thud he falls over

“good god!!!!”

(Sleeply walks down stairs) Why do I feel as though something bad happened here…. Oh good lord, why is Nicopolis and Augustus already up at this hour? ((Sorry if I can’t really join till later this afternoon guys.)) Aw well, to the ballroom it is I suppose.

(Unless…YOU’RE DEAD!!!!!nah directed at gabriel,btw)

My god, there is a murder here! And why is Lady Tess bleeding?!

“its seems the bolt went right through her shoulder ad into Carter! Someone get a doctor here!”

*Thinking:Wow,all i can think of is,glad that wasnt me!*

*looks around*

“Ah.where is Mike when you need him”

((I guess I can play now for a bit&hellip)

Paulo comes back from his rest and goes back to the main hall where there seems to be quite a ruckus. He looks at his watch on the way down. “Huh,” he thinks. “It’s only ten in the morning. It should be fine to drink some wine now.” He then turns around and grabs two bottles of wine. He then runs down the hallway like a preschooler on the playground to the main hall. There, he spies a most unfortunate scene. The beautiful socialite, Tess, fainted on the ground.

“What is going on here!?” he yells. “I demand answers!”

All this time, he doesn’t bother to put down the bottles.

” for gos sakes man this nubile young woman is bleeding, cover he wounds since that damn fool doctor isnt here then take her to your room immediately, eh whats this then, A paper detailing ownership of the 6th street docks and it indicates its leased to David Van pelt, why would Tess have it”

“nop time to wonder that now, i’ll hold onto this, dress these wounds man”

*Takes out a clean rag and covers her shoulder wound*

“heh..”

Paulo stares at the dead Carter on the floor and steps over it. “Well, maybe our friend doctor can fix up another one, yes?” he laughs, but it was a weak laugh. The Spaniard was scared. Surely these events could have been planned in advance by someone in this very house…

“Hey Ladies man,no time to chicken out”

*Thinking:heh…I’m nervous too..*

(Teleports back) I detect a murder…..Carter huh……ok then, I’ll take her from here Augustus.

(mutters) I thought Carter blew himself up last night….dude has way too many clones.

“Alright”

*Stands up and steps back abit*

Paulo was offended. “Me? Run away? Never!” he yelled, spilling wine all over. “I may be afraid under the current circumstances, but I will never run away!” He stops yelling and takes a sip of wine from the bottle. He lays the second bottle down on the table. “I think the most important thing we should do right now is figure out where everyone is and gather them together so that we may prevent any more damages and get to the bottom of this.”

“That may be the worst idea ever,if we gather everyone here,the person that did this would have a clear shot at everyone.”

“Unless one of them did this..”

“Friend Mister Clark, that’s where I disagree.” the Spaniard took a sip of wine. “Gathering everyone would discourage the murderer from killing all of us at once. There are many important people in here. Not to mention, that there are ways of letting our deaths be known. If anything, we’d be safer in a group.”

Oh and Paulo (removes glove) *smack* that’s for spiking my drink……(Thinks to self: even though I’m the one who spiked it.)

“indeed fine idea my good man, The other two diplomats, the ambassador from france as well as Japan havent shown to the ballroom yet, its best if someone were to look. Here Paulo the key to my bedroom, the japanese diplotmat Kizum was staying there the last time i checked, ive been staying in my study”

“as for the french ambassador i have not clue where she was seen last”

“Stop drinking that damn wine,this isnt the time to get drunk,we need nothing but clear heads right now”

“Dear friend host, I assure you, I have already browsed all the bedrooms looking for young ladies, and Miss Japan was not in any of them.”

Paulo pours the glass of wine onto the floor and glances at Augustus. “This bottle was quite diluted anyways.”

(walks into room for once) Lady Tess is fine……oh so you and Mrs. Kizum had a little fun eh???

(Smacks Paulo again) quit wasting wine you fool!

“please its entirely proffessional now come with me, paulo you take the lead theres a good man”
Exits the ballroom, and heads for the staircase Paulo leading the way

*Thinking:ah,what a group of misfits..*

“Ah! Friend Doctor!” smiled Paulo, rubbing his cheek. “I’m afraid I have not. I have not seen the Japanese Ambassador ever since I got here.”

“Everyone! I think the safest place right now would be upstairs in the lounge! If you would just follow me!”

*Walks upstairs with Rugworthy and Paulo*

“Hmmm,Who else is up at the moment?”

*Has just recently entere4d the ballroom*

Pardon moi, le lunch special has been…

*spots Carter dead*

…been… Is that Carter? Is that BLOOD?!

As they reached the staircase they were treated to a horribfying sight… Kizuna the japanese ambassador hung dead from the top floor railing by her own bedsheets

“my…my…good sheets”

“Two Deaths!!?”

Paulo dropped his second bottle of wine.

Sue! Where is Mademoiselle Sue!?

*paces the floor*

Now do I ever regret rushing him away.

*Is unaware of Kizuna’s death*

We should remove her from the stairs, and gather everyone else. Maybe we should as the French’s assistant if she has seen her employer. Or we could just as Nicopolis.

“Did..Did she kill herself?”


*Thinking:Why would she feel the need to Kill herself?*

(thinking: stupid ninjas, I still have their shurikens. Regardless I better keep an eye on them.) well Augustus I do believe I have to relieve myself(teleports to bathroom and cue awkward encounter with the Lady Lucy)……….what??? We’ve seen each other before.

(yeah i decided one a day might be too little concerning the limited play hours. Rule on winning, now we know two people that didnt commit the murders, so you probably have guesses to you did. a good rule is sloppy guess lead to bloody messes so have a motive if you guess and its a bit early to guess anyways. oh and if you think your the killer dont tell anyone, the killer can win by being one of the last three standing and going Bang and giving his motive, though its too early to say isnt it)

“this is just appaling, the Japanese consolut is going to have my head!”

(Lady, I assume you’re taliking to me?)

Madame! Are you alright? Le master will be more than surprised to hear of this…

(I was talking loud enough for anyone to hear Abraham. Now’ I’m adressing Mike.) Hello Nicopolis, and are you feeling any more sober this morning?

(Looks to host) Trouble in bed?

Oh….no, but the ninjas drugged me, so that may be why. Also sorry about the bathroom incident.

((Aaaaand I gotta go for now, but I’ll trust that this story will keep going. Honestly, I don’t think we’ve been given any clues yet.))
