Bittersweet Candy Bowl

We brought her with us to the common room, she is right here

Brains!…..Huh….Right, no wasn’t the captain with her last? (A little on edge over the fact Paul has a shotgun.) (Sees her next to Alexander.) See she’s fine.

I believe you have been playing too many zombie video games Monseigneur.

Nah, not enough.

You just shouted brains while looking at Paul’s shotgun, I most certainly think you have.

Meh, it’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve played Left for dead2, or any game for that matter. *points at house remodeling*

((I have to be gone for a bit but I’ll check in randomly. Just assume I’m with my husband if anything happens.))

(Notices bottle of brandy.) (Thinks no, need to keep a clear head. (I have to get back to work, so have fun. Character is left in autoplay.)

(Nope not dead ;P. I see you’ve all had an active morning? Just caught up on Sandrines posts.)

The countess? There’s no worries there. She’s been here the entire time not that any one would notice. Quite as always having walked into the commons room unnoticed as the others discussed things, absorbing every word, looking quite nervous and distressed, giving those around her cautious looks… and poor Sue a sorry one

(Would I even know her in this time line? ah well)

(Oh so I’m not the only person still aound)
(OOC name doesn’t matter, horay for that cause I forgot again

*sitting on the deck*

“Such a nice day,yet so many bad things are happening.”

Golden eyes move over to stare at the painter Michelle for a few moments before standing and walking towards him at a rather determined pace that might worry the painter…..the look in her eyes and her Ribbon seeming to be on back-word’s reminding him of another intimidating presence……

That is up until she got closer and it was clear she was after the brandy not him! Picking it up with her signature soft smile and uncharacteristically taking a heavy swig, face contorting and flinching after words before she puts it back down…. a little bit of liquid courage being good for anyone in a situation like this….just not too much hm .

Still she gives her chin a scratch as she looks towards the painter again curiously. Mayhaps he has something to say about his relationship with miss Lucia now that his memory’s been jolted?

(Too bad he’s afk hahaha. Host might need to answer for him… only one who would actually know. Had to hate him for some reason. And no she didn’t ‘say’ that question ;p it’s sort of implied heh)

All right! place your bets now for whose the murderer! $1 minimum bet! Odds yet to be determined, but don’t let that stop you!

Yes, ignore this if you are actually playing the game. I only let non-participants bet.

*animatedly talking with Sir Plato (I’m hijacking him while you’re away, Pronkat ^_^)*

Ah, I do reshall that role! And you played it so well - no wonder you were always thought to be one of the best… Oh? Oh, yes, the time we starred against eash other in that romantish comedy! Of course. You were that funny old war veteran with the limp and corny voice, and I was, yes, your interest. Those were the days, no? *trilling happily*

(*slaps *Ninja*)

(Looks at Amanda with great unease. Sudden movements have become stressful after having to worry about Paul’s shotgun.) (As for Lucia….no clue as of yet, I would say something, but the host stated we’ve never met, maybe our families just hated each other and it passed on to the children, or perhaps it was over that nude painting of her mother that led to her liking of the painter and the parents resulting divorce…. Oh well, that’s history for ya.) ;D

lol, sorry.

Is there someone left that I could play as without having to do anything serious?

(Try Yashy Yamabushi. She goes around yelling at people for no apparent reason. But keep in mind that she might die before the game ends. ^_^

@Michelle: All those are possibilities. You are quite free to change your character as long as you don’t conflict directly with provided information.)

(Assuming anyone’s dead at all….)

Amanda gives the nervous painter a smile and a pat on the shoulder shifting the brandy towards him again with a wink. One or two sips couldn’t hurt~.

Her ears give a twitch from Sandrine’s conversation with Sir Plato. Though, glancing at the two curiously as her arms are folded, and chin rubbed. Seeming deep in thought slowly starting to walk towards the door as a hunch is formed..

(Heading to check Lucias Corpse unless stopped. If she IS stopped she waves towards the person who stops her to simply come along with one of her pleasant smiles~)

(Sir Plato, not Paul. ^_^

Oh, and we brought the corpse with us as well.)

(Thinks: I should keep an eye on her, no one should be wandering around inebriated.) (ready to follow if she leaves.)

(Amanda, you’re forgetting that Lucia’s corpse is hidden in the corner. You might be out of view, but not out of the room.)

walks around the pool drink in hand, a gingerale to be exact

“best keep my head about me, lest i end up on the choping block next”

he says to himself

(Did you? Well that makes it easier) The orange tabby slowly walks over to it.. an thought now in mind but still…. cautious… as she lifts up the sheet covering it, almost recoiling at the sight but forcing herself to be calm again with a few breaths as she looks it over. Very carefully she takes out a handkerchief and kneels down seeming to be looking for something….out of place..

(If you didn’t guess. She suspects the corpse might be fake. Maybe even made of Cake hahaha! Well maybe not… A wild guess…….)

“Indeed.”

(Remember davido i came up with you to get some fresh air)

(Ninja’d by Amanda)

“ah yes sorry Zacharias, i was caught up in my own world for a moment ther Zachy, The lady Diane can indeed be quite distracting, shame about that husband of hers though”

Looks over at Zacharias

“surely you can find some female accompaniment on this cruise, you know what they say about women and danger”

*sigh*

“I’m not here to look for female companionship.”

(Gone again, have to go to work and pack some large paint orders.) (character is in a cautious automode again.)

(Finally I have been trying to get this to load for ages)
*Noticed Amanda go after the brandy, and leave it behind, decides he could use some himself*
Monsigneur could you pass me that bottle?

*flies between guests at random, making loud-mouthed conversation*

…Oh, dear Duke, you still remember that? But that was so long ago. Oh, you are sush a card…

…Of course, Alexander. Even your sandwishes are amazing. Whatever is it you put in your food to make it so delicious? Ahaha…

…August! Dearest August, you startled me quite a bit. Please do not sneak up on me like that! *giggles*…

…Monseigneur, that sketsh is wonderful… Who is it? Oh, the dear madame Stilte! Not so loud, you say? Oh, you were always so frightened of attention, even when we were young. *trills* You are sush a great painter, you know…

(All of this is “out-of-time” - the conversations take place at random intervals. ^_^)

Glad to see someone’s is in high spirits, subconscious coping methods or not.
*Takes the bottle of Brandy before Michelle has the chance to hand it to him*

*ears seem to tap together at the mention of her name… glancing up but only for a second… but she’s trying to check for clues here people… soo back to looking over the hard-boiled corpse. Will have to bug Michelle about that sketch later…*

(OOC wonders what would happen if he tried having Alexander directly ask a question to Amanda)

*Emerges after recently being in the pool and is now in his bathing suit*
Ms. Seigler you seem to be in high spirits for someone recently being through so much.
Care to tell us your sudden cause for joy?

Her subconscious is causing a releasing of endorphines to placate her so that she does not go into shock, most likely

(Huh, I’ve been posting nameless, Alexander Pjotr Makretzy)

Ah, dear Hamilton! No, I am not shaken by what has happened. My sister lives, is that not cause for joy? *trills joyfully*

My point exactly, one guest dead, her sister, though alive, is greivously injured, and she’s acting bubbly.

Very true indeed my lady.
My wife found today more stressful though and has already retired to our room but there is now no longer anyone to watch over my drinking habits.
*Pours two glasses of Brandy*
A toast to your sisters lucky survival today. Hopefully the day will end more peacfully then yesterday..

“i know id be upset if someone choped my sister a new axehole”
he says to Zacharias

“you know Zachy, a woman in your life could inspire you, you two could make great music together”

*Goes to sit in a corner with a bottle, mumbling about various coping methods, fire extinguisher still right next to him*

(Walks up behind him and smacks the back of Abraham’s head) Not so fast Dear, I decided I did not feel safe in our room by myself and have decided to rejoin the party and keep an eye on you.

“Perhaps,but i’m always so busy with my music,i never have time to do anything like this,this is the first time in years i’ve been able to not completly focus on my music.”

(ninja’d)

*Sigh* Very well Dear.
It is probably for the best anyway getting drunk won’t help if the killer decides to return.
Besides.
How would I protect my lady if she’s off in our room all alone?

” the hostess is quite a site Zachy, comfort her man, she could use it and you could as well. The inspiration is waiting”

Looks over to Lady Diane
“speaking of beauties….”
“good to see you in such a spirited state, your eyes sparkle beautifully when you wallop someone”

*facepalms at davido again*

*whispers to himself*”geez,just as he was making sense..”

Ah hello again Davido! How are you? (Completely oblivious)

” quite well now that your here, i did worry so about your safety being alone like that senorita”

*Follows davido over to the group*

(Hahaha don’t want to complain but… mind saying if I find anything? So that I might do something else but stare at a burnt corpse XP.)

*still drifting, conversating with other people (here are some more snippets of my jabbering)*

…Lady Diane, you are sush a good wife to your dear husband! Keeping him in line, oh, that is a masterpiece in its own right. *giggles* Oh, and I still cannot get over your earlier visit…

…Hello again, Amanda! As silent as ever, no? Ahaha, it’s in your name, isn’t it? *trills away*…

…Roger, stop yelling at the poor dear Yashy! And Yashy, the same to you. Ahaha! Do not be worried about this, it will pass…

…Yes, Mishelle, but the entertainment will not start until later. Keep painting, my dear *snicker*…

…Zasharias! Should we bring in the piano? I imagine you are quite lonely without it. Oh, I know you would kill for music. Am I out of line? Sorry about that *trills*…

…Ah, you are still doing charity, dear Theresa? Oh, but you are famous for it. Money is not important to us, no? Only to them. Ahaha! *giggle*…

*@ Michelle:* It’s only for self defense. *rests shotgun on shoulder, fully loaded with safety on* Oh, there’s Sue! I was worried for a moment.
