Bittersweet Candy Bowl

(I am)

Well then, Alexander, let’s have everyone empty their pockets. *He pulls out a key ring, a pistol clip and a whickey flask from his pockets* Come on, all of you empty your pockets.

(I’ll… risk my battery power for you ^_-)

(Oh, if you have friends coming over then prioritise them by all means. Take a long break; do not be bound to this silly game on this stu… wonderful forum. ^_^)

*pulls out both pocket knives and a notepad*

“that’s it.”

(Hee, Paul, that’s nice. ^_^ Though I wonder whether I should say the same to you&hellip

(throws pencils, brushes, paint tubes, knife, revolver, ammo,…sketchbook…..and finally, but with hesitation a large rolled up piece of paper.)

*pulls out a box of shotgun shells, a scrap of paper (a note to a girl), and a… bullet shell?* How’d that get there? I swear, if someone planted this on me… *inaudible mumuring*

*Puts down frying pan*
All I have in my pockets is my master key
*does not find it*
Where’d my key go?
(Is Lady diane on? she has it)

(Its not the map btw.) (Thinks: This was supposed to be a surprise&hellip

I have no poshets in this frilly dress… It is rather silly to wear it now, anyway. I’ll go and change quishly. Alexander, watsh over my dear sister, will you? *giggle*

( battery dead, sorry. Afk Dx)

*shrugs and does much the same…not that she has a lot. A few quarters, her room key, and a handkerchief. That’s about it! She does give a curious look towards the various notes and papers the others pulled out though….leaning in a bit towards them*

Michelle, that’s an awfully big paper. Mind show us all it?

*pulls out master key, pocket knife, a pen & notepad, and a bottle opener*
The gun stays on just in case.

……(slowly opens it to reveal a spetacular sunset with Sandrine and hiself holding hands and leaning in together under the tree.) I couldn’t sleep last night, so I made this…..I…… (notices Sandrine’s departure.) I’ve been wishing to propose to her, but then this all happened.

*smiles knowingly in the recesses of her room*

(Agh, this pains me. Let’s get together at the end of the story, shall we? ^_^)

(returns belongings to pocket, but has sketchbook snatched away by Amanda first.) Wait!……

*Goes and sits by Susanne, as per the host’s request*

*Is sure to start sticking her nose in the other notepads and letters like a child as the others are busy glancing at Michelles pretty pretty picture. What ideas might the others have? What’s this lady’s note that Paul has? And… will Michelle hide his sketchbook again before Amanda gets to it?*

*Hahaha.. I guess not, she’s flipping through the pages now… once she gets to the page with the drawing of her though she just looks confused tilting it one way then the next, why does she look like she’s in pain….?*

*looks at over michelle*

“you better do it as soon as possible,considering the circumstances.”

(@ the one where he says he wants to propose)

*puts everything back in his pockets except for his notepad*
Hm…*reads recent notes*
thinking: so the main weapon is a bloodied axe… but where could one hide something so easily?

(We found the ax in Theresa’s room, you missed it)

(I thought it went missing again, if it’s still here just reread my thought as “how did one hide the axe so easily&rdquo

Right…..And can I have my sketchpad back please? (Almost afraid to ask.)

(i think amanda set it down somewhere. hey, im back!)

*returns in time to partake in the conversation*

Yes, the axe… I propped it against the table.

*looks*

Oh no, it seems that the axe has disappeared again… We might have another murder on our hands before long…

(off topic I’m making a book out of the first murder mystery by way of La Commie!’s thread, which has been updated to those who care)

*sigh* Is keeping track of something as large as an ax really that difficult? Although i think someone would have noticed a new person enter the room so I have my doubts about having a stowaway on board.

*blinks looking to Michelle, and starts to shift it towards him before suddenly looking at it again finally getting what she’s looking at with a small blush and startled expression. The painter gets his book back but with a small bap to the head while he’s at it >=P

And maybe a slight finger wave too*

(as for the story ending. Uh. Hm. Honestly I don’t know who did it….all my guesses are just that:guesses. The only real evidence is whom was murdered and whom could have been framed…which points to half the cast as a suspect. The Cake crumbs and Axe, if the hold any significance, are muddled by the fact they’re both common items that anyone here could get their hands onto.

Breaking for the night wouldn’t hurt though.)

True Alex, very true, but then again it seems nobody has left this room, so who could hide an axe on their person? *Eyes everyone carefully* If the axe is missing, it means another murder will probably take place. Keep your weapons ready, Everyone.

(There will be more evidence appearing with the next murders. I promise ^_^

They will continue tomorrow.)

(oh shit im gonna afk for the next murder D

*readies shotgun*

How…convinient.
*zips coat back on, but pulls the pistol into his hand*
Keep an eye out for blood stains, surely with the number of passengers onboard there’s no time to wash the dirty thing.
I’m heading for the kitchen, anyone wants comfort food?

(auto play, I’ll be following whoever wants food)

I would offer some desserts, but I don’t feel like being in the kitchen alone long enough to make something good, also I am rather starting to get a headache, I think I drank too much.

I rather think you did, too. *laughs*

I got my comfort food right here. *Takes a swig from his flask* Anyone care for a sip of liquid courage?

(@Alex: Ya think?!)

Roger, you wouldn’t happen to have a spare sidearm, would you? This shotgun’s a bit cumbersome.

I believe I’ve had enough of it already so I’ll pass

I’m not drinking anything that isn’t mine.

(I have changed my mind - the next murder will happen (or be discovered) soon. It seems pointless to leave you with so few clues&hellip

In the bottom of the ship, we’ve got a small arms locker. I’ve got the only key to it, but getting there may be dangerous with a killer on the loose. The pistol on me is the only one I keep with me, it’s saved me more times then I can count.

(I detect very few motives)

(AFK, Friends are here, so ttyl.)

If you can supply me with a pistol, I may well toss this shotgun overboard. With my financial status, replacing it would be a cinch, and best not to give the killer any more tools. Plus, eff your key, if the perpetrator’s been using the air ducts, than he’ll (or she’ll) likely find a secret way in.

(Why’d I say that?)

If it’s in a locker I see no way for a duct to lead to it

Helloooo! He (assuming gender) has an axe!!
