Back Storage Room of Turtle & Canary; Saturday Morning [ 10/11 ]

[stocksgrrl]

There was a sign on the door, mentioning that, due to unfortunate circumstances, Turtle & Canary was closed today, but that did not mean it was empty. Eleven letters had been handwavily delivered or handed out. Eleven people should be arriving at the store, moving to the back room, as instructed, and into one of the many chairs waiting there. The

Arrival -- 10/11.

[stocksgrrl]

There will be a short period of time before the lawyer shows up to discuss the will where the heirs can perhaps sort out what this is all about.

Jeff was just loitering around, tear-eyed. Occasionally, one might be able to overhear a phlegm-y sniffle coming from his direction.

Sokka walked over to Jeff, trying not to worry about him TOO much, because worrying hurt his brain cancer. "Hey... You okay, Breasts?"

"She wasn't wearing socks," he might have been overheard to mumble, but that was all.

The Will -- 10/11.

[stocksgrrl]

Finally, a young woman in glasses, perhaps rather young for a lawyer but looking every bit the part, entered the room and walked to a table in front of it. She set down a briefcase, opened it smartly, and withdrew some papers. She looked over the seated heirs, counting heads for a moment, and then she nodded.

"Hello," she greeted them. "Thank you all for coming on such short notice. My name is Alice W. Tortoiseshell, and you have all be brought here today on some rather distressing news. T.R. 'Turtle' Wexler, well known personage in this community, died today, in her sleep, at approximately five twenty three am. Let us have a moment of passing for her silence."

Ms. Tortoiseshell bowed her head, and did just that.

"Now," she cleared her throat, "Ms. Wexler has entrusted her will to me, and she has claimed you all the heirs to her estate of over three hundred million dollars." She paused again, as if to let that resonate in the air. Over three hundred million dollars. "There is just one thing. Ms. Wexler did not die of

"I don't know anything about dastardly," Jeff mumbled, "I've never been anywhere near dastardly, I wouldn't know where to start looking."

Then he blew another chunk of something watery-sounding out of his nose. It ended on a squeaky little sob.

"HE DID IT!" Evil!Jamie declared as he pointed at Jeff. "That rat bastard killed our beloved Turtle in her sleep. Only he had the opportunity to do it! He's the rat bastard! Arrest him and throw away the key!"

"Simmer down brother," Jamie said taking a hold of his brother's shoulder. "I know we're all upset-"

"Screw that," Evil!Jamie declared. "I just want the money."

"Let's wait until all the facts are in," Jamie said with a stoic nod.

Re: The Will -- 10/11.

"I haven't killed her!" Jeff choked out, "I've never killed anybody! I wouldn't even know where to begin! Do you start horizontally, or vertically? If you poison someone, how do you know you've got poison and not just your best friend's urine? What-- oh god, I can't even think about it!"

Partner Up -- 10/11.

[stocksgrrl]

Once Ms. Tortoiseshell had calmed down any ruckus or distention, or, God forbid, socks, she cleared her throat loudly. "I am not finished! Ms. Wexler has also requested that you partner up to assist you in figuring this out. She says, however, that the partnerships are merely suggestions; what is she going to do to enforce them? She's dead! But each pair of partners will also have utterly useless clues to help them. Everyone has different clues; remember, it isn't about what you have, it's what you don't have."

"Please stand up, and, when I call your names, meet with your partner, and get your clues."

Pair 1 -- Jeffrey Murdock and Mister Deadpool.

Jeffrey Murdock, boyfriend
Mister Deadpool, mentor

Re: Pair 1 -- Jeffrey Murdock and Mister Deadpool.

[scary_jeff]

Jeffrey was far too busy crying to actually notice who his partner was.

Well, until it was too late, anyway. And even then, he still simply stood, caved in like a little bag of a boy.

"Man up!" Wade snapped. "We have to find out which one of the people killed Tabitha."

His poor, poor Tabitha. They had a falling out in the past, but she would always be the daughter he never had.

Conclusion -- 10/11.

[stocksgrrl]

"You have your pairs, and now you have until tomorrow evening, when I call you back to this place, to come up with your answer for who murdered Turtle Wexler. You are free to go about your business, but, please, help yourself to the delicious punch and pie provided for you over here to the left. Thank you."

[[ Ms. Tortoiseshell will be around for questions, if you liiiike ]]

"Hey there gorgeous," Evil!Jamie said as he sauntered over to see Miss Tortoiseshell. "I was wondering if you could... help me."

Re: Conclusion -- 10/11.

[stocksgrrl]

There was a hard, green-eyed stare through Ms. Tortoiseshell's glasses as one of the alleged Jamies approached her. "Bathroom," she said tersely, "is to the left. If your records are correct, you are employed here, Mister Madrox, and should know that."

Re: Conclusion -- 10/11.

[multi_madrox]

"Not the kind of urge I'm looking to take care of," Evil!Jamie said flashing his baby blue eyes at her. "I know the way to the bathroom. What I need to know is the way to your heart."

OOC -- 10/11.

[stocksgrrl]

Okay, waaaaay too much fun with the "occupations" for some of you.

There it is! Go forth and do what you'd like, oh heirs! I have to disappear for pet shopping (OMG GETTING KITTENS TOMORROW, but I will be back!)

Yaaaay, kittens!

This will be far too amusing.
