Bittersweet Candy Bowl

(Looks down at knife) I’m ready.

If you’re going to use those, keep the blades out and use your belt as a holster. I want everyone to be able to easily reach for their weapon if they need it, and use it.

(Sees she has no belt, tears the end of her dress and makes one) Will this work?

(spins barrel and sheathes knife.) Ready.

The orange tabby glances at the weapons for.. only a moment but does not approach them, giving them a dismissive wave. Just glancing at the boys with that knowing smile before stepping back looking about the room again… for something quite specific… the waitress Miss Rachel…? (Darn NPCs)

She walks over to the dog girl giving her a wave…and… looking at Theressa from across the room.. a bit worried. Perhaps Rachel will have something to add on that thought?

(yeah trying to find out what Rachels beef with Theressa is… Not my fault no one took -either character)

Keep it tight so the knife won’t slip through. Now then *He steps up onto a chair* We have things we need to discuss. First, who’s missing?

*Wraps injured hand in shirt, has frying pan ready in other hand though*

We are all here, Roger. Exshept the two who are dead, all are present…

(Looks around) I don’t think anyone…

*looks around*

“Yashy Yamabushi.”

“i think thats it,everyone else is either dead or here.”

Good, everyone needs to hear this. There is a murderer among us, that much is obvious. I believe we need to search this ship from top to bottom to find who it is. It is possible we may have taken on a stowaway when in harbor, or it is one of the people in this room. Which it is, I don’t know. We need to find either the stowaway or the schematics for the ship.

*walks from behind the group*
My my, all these murders and very few clues.
*holds up a platter with a bottle of whiskey and several shot glasses*
Mind telling me what happened?

(A progress report, I’ll be on for just a moment)
(August McIntyre)

Ms.Siegler, would you like to sum up what has happened? You know the passengers and crew better then anyone else.

*running after Diane* Hey, what’s goi- oh, no… *two-hans shotgun upon seeing everyone armed.* Don’t tell me…

(I believe you left before Susanne was axed in the back, she is still alive, she saw tha man who attacked her walk with a limp, More recently we have found Marina Olina in the freezer, hog tied, apple in mouth, with vegetables sprinkled all around her)

(Report:

- Lucia Torressi was murdered, cooked in the boiler
- Susanne Siegler was attempted murdered, but sirvived and is now resting
- Maria Olina was… gorily… killed
- The axe is a recurring element
- So are trapdoors in the roof, and hidden passages
- The schematics of the ships have gone missing
- A shady character, limping, was the attacker/killer)

(I’ll be back until my phone dies or I reach my comp., upon which I’ll switch)

What… happened here?!

(Furthermore, August, you have been present more or less all the time.)

(Oh, a typo. The schematics of the ship have gone missing.)

(@Sandrine: Are you sure it wasn’t your lishp?)

I see… perhaps I should join you.
*unzips vest*
I always have a pistol on me for the occasion.

(Autoplay mode, see you guus in a bit)

Oh, my dear Duke! Surely you know that there have been two brutal murders? And Susanne, the poor dear, only barely survived an axe to the bash…

I was aware of the first murder, bu a second? Who died this time? (For the record I already know, I back-read xD)

(Paul: I only lisp on k-sounds that are denoted with c or ch. ^_^ Oh, there was another typo - survived. I must be getting tired.)

(I was kidding! And survived was spelled right.)

It was Maria Olina, the Argentinian. Imagine - someone stuffed (cringe ^_^) and apple in her mouth!

(For the record, all the people in the game have been gathered during the most recent event. Let’s imagine this conversation took place right after the incident.

And; I spelled it as “sirvived” in the summary. I correct them when I’m typing in bold font. Why would I advertise my typos? ^_^)

Well, I got lost looking for Diane, but then I heard a scream, so I came running. Wait… stuffed?!

(Btw, it was spelled right in the post directly preceding my observation of said word)

(I’m just going to say that I’ve sobered up a little, still tipsy though, I am rather tired of writing a dead drunk character)
Stuffed an apple in her mouth, that doesn’t sound particularly gruesome

In the mouth. Nothing more, you silly man. *short giggle*

She was tied and on a platter with sliced vegetables. The killer turned her into a frozen dinner.

That… on the other hand is rather gruesome

Uh… *Why is she laughing?!*

“oh yea,she was also slashed by the missing axe…”

Must I explain this again? it is a subcnoscious coping method, her brain releases endorphines so that she doesn’t shut down from shock

(Note that “standard” text in conext of italics, usually indicates italics within italics)

(@Alex: GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!)

Ah! You are probably right again, Alexander.

*smirks stiffly, before smiling broadly again*

(Didn’t realize that was thought)

(Going to be afk for a while, phone battery low. Assume I follow around)

(Goes over and hugs Sandrine) it’s alright…..(Thinks: I should tell her before it’s too late.) (Has picture of Sandrine from the morning hours inside clothes.)

Now, the killer is likely getting around the ship using the missing schematics. We need to divide into search parties to find the schematics. We find the schematics, we find the killer.

Ah, Mishelle. I am glad you are still alive and, what is the word, kishing. *trills*

But I must be off. My sister needs urgent attention…

Not if he has them hidden somewhere, finding them would prove nothing. Or on his person, in which case we would need to check everyone

Right……, The plans are more likely in the cabins or the hidden passageway.

(While I’m still trying to get info out of silly NPCs hahaha. I’m sorry for being a pest on little details. Just trying to use the information given. I wonder if the reasons for people hating each other even matters to this plot?)

Amanda still sits on the side lines, on the couch beside Rachel still trying to figure this all out, her rather pouty face showing she wasn’t doing the best of job at that, almost sulking some. Theories are plenty… definite proof is short.

(back, for at least 30 minutes)

(@Amanda: It does, but not always in the obvious right…

@August: Did you catch the summary?)

(yup, two dead, one wounded, the second death is new to me)

(Good.

A… quish question… Who are playing right now? ^_^)
