Ami smothered a giggle and merely smiled at the exchange between the Delaney sisters. Seers and weather conjurers? That would be quite a job description. She had no doubt the Delaneys would be even more popular with those people who would interrupt them during their spirit communication.

She placed the glasses on as Veronica placed the pipe between her lips, this time releasing a small chuckle. It was fun playing men, if only for the reason that they weren't men and imagining how they would be if they were men was hilarious. And then Darcy said she thought she would be the guilty person anyways. "Ah, but we only have four players and there are six suspects, so it could technically be one of the other two," she winked, and then looked at Darcy's bag for the remaining props. She thought it would be great if Deirdre chose Mrs. Peacock and wore a peacock feather in her hair. Unless she opted for Mrs. White and her hat.

When Darcy mentioned choosing a card to be "fair" and put it in the envelope, she nodded and followed suit. "Miss Scarlet goes first," she winked to Darcy as she took her own cards. Well, it definitely wasn't Professor Plum with the Dagger in the Library.

Deirdre giggled at her sister's reaction then shook her head, "Good thing you don't want to, then, because I'm not helping! The weather will have to keep itself! We'll have enough work to do, following in Da's footsteps, you know. And that's all the work I want!" she ruffled Darcy's hair playfully.

Deirdre smiled, then laughed out loud when Veronica produced costumes. That was entirely unexpected to Deirdre's mind, but then she usually focused on the logic of the game. She laughed at the exchange between the two third years, beaming fondly at them both. Veronica looked adorable blowing bubbles from the pipe and playing as though she was a stiff old Colonel.

Then it was Dary's turn to choose and Deirdre rolled her eyes, "Well, they're all shady. That's the point, isn't it?" she winked. She glanced down and shrugged as she thought of the characters left it could be, "Well, I suppose I'll be... Mrs. Peacock, then?" she glanced over at Darcy for approval of the choice before holding out her hand to Veronica to take her costume.

She nodded at Darcy's directions on how to choose the three clues that would be the final answer, "All right." She spread the three stacks out and waited for each of the other girls to select one card from each stack, then she slid them into the envelope in her hand, careful not to peek so she wouldn't ruin the game by knowing the final solution.

Then she set the envelope aside and picked up the rest of the cards to shuffle them and deal them out evenly to everyone. Then she settled in to pick up her own cards and study them, waiting for the game to begin.
