The Midnite Hour Is Close At Hand [ Ciel's Game ]
WHO: Ciel Phantomhive, Sebastian Michaelis, Grell Sutcliffe, Eagle Vision, Ritsuka Aoyagi, Yuiko Hawatari, Alois Trancy, Soma Asman Cadart, Lizzie
LOCATION: Various locations around the castle
WEEK: 69
TIME: Wednesday, 9pm-Onward
WHAT: Special game!
RATING: Nothing too bad. PG-13
The costume ball was now in full swing, as guests busied themselves with miscellaneous activities. Despite all the misgivings about the party held last year there seemed to be no adverse effects this year.
Then suddenly....
Darkness. Total and absolute.
A scream rings out from parts unknown. Then the candles fire back to life. Those without alibis are ushered into a adjacent room. Crumpled on on the floor is a small form, and it isn't moving. Your host has been killed and it was by one of you. The killer must be found, as well as the murder weapon and the room it occurred in. It's imperative that the suspects participate lest they become the one framed for the crime.
Clues will be handed out by Sebastian, then the suspects are instructed to fan out and search various locations in search of clues.
[ooc notes: Ciel isn't really dead and no real violence occurred. He is however unresponsive, and completely still.]
____________________________________________________________________________________-
OOC: How to play:
- Each of the suspects will receive a list of clues via private message (Livejournal inbox if the option is available, email or aim if not. In the game the clues are handed out by Sebastian). Do not share these with the other participants.
- You may use the provided scorecard to keep track or just marvel at how awesome it is. Keep track however you like (the links lead to a larger image).
- There will be a posting order. Decided by who posts first. Since there are quite a few participants I recommend watching the entry so you won't miss a clue or your turn 8D. Oh! And participants are welcome to work together in teams if they wish :3.
- Since we will not be using a die to move, participants can move quite freely from room to room.
- When a person arrives in a room, they may make a suggestion as to who the killer, what the weapon, and room are. Then the other scorecards will be checked to see if any of those options are impossible. Then I'll make a reply revealing that either one of the options is unavailable (at which time you may all check it off your lists) or that you've solved the mystery.
Example:
Suspect 1: Grell, with the chainsaw, in the greenhouse.
[Scorecard is checked. A few of those selections are already marked off]
I Reply: It wasn't in the greenhouse.
[All players can check greenhouse off of their rooms list, and gameplay passes to the next person.]
- The winner will receive a prize at the end, the killer will receive something as well...
- This should be treated like a regular log so feel free to react accordingly. Most of all have fun with it :3! The game will commence and you can start searching rooms once everyone (minus Ciel) has had the chance to reply once.
[I'm sorry this was so long ^^;. Oh! And Sebastian doesn't need to continue in the game thread once things get underway. He'll have fulfilled his role in the game rather early as far as that goes. There will be something else for him to do though :3]
This log has been editted as of 10/29/2010. In the interest of timez. A new scorecard has been uploaded and new clues are in the process. Sorry for the confusion ^__^;.
