THE HAUNTING AT NOBLE HOUSE - This is my second murder mystery dinner story, the first one being The Case of Lady Lark. This one will be done over the course of five days, not one per cycle!
"THE HAUNTING AT NOBLE HOUSE: THE CASE OF MARIE NOBLE"
Kurt, Rachel, Finn, Mercedes, Artie, Tina, Santana, and Brittany
Chapter 1 of 5
The first dinner evening had gone off well enough and Kurt didn’t need much time to know he’d like to do it again. It also wasn’t long before a few other had input to give, primarily on guest list additions: there were two.
First, Rachel had come up to him in the hall, with a clear and direct request: “You need more guys,” she first pointed out. “So I have the perfect solution,” she beamed with a nod.
“Finn?” he guessed with a deadpan on the obvious. She frowned, then nodded again. “Did you tell h… Did you ask him?”
“I did,” she confirmed. “He wasn’t too clear on the concept at first, but I think he’s got it now,” she nodded firmly. “Besides, how hard can it be if Brittany got it?”
She was right on this: Brittany had gotten it, so much so that she’d shared the experience with a certain tied-at-the-pom-pom friend… and this led to Kurt’s second hallway approach… this time from the outside party trying to get in.
He felt the approach one split second before he turned and found himself face to face with Santana. He had to say - though only ever to himself - that she was a little scary right here. “Hi, there,” she’d opened.
“Afternoon,” was the only word he could manage at first, then, “What can I do for you?”
“Brittany told me about that dinner thing you did. Well, I want in,” she bobbed her head.
“Really,” he blinked, though his head did not move. “Well, I, uh… I don’t have one going at the moment, but if I do I’ll be sure to keep that in mind…”
“Oh, and I want to be a victim, want a good death scene,” she nodded with a smirk.
“I, well, I’d be happy to oblige on that,” he tried to keep the corners of his mouth from curling too tight. She gave a frown, but then she walked away. She would only have to wait a week before Kurt entered the halls of McKinley High with a stack of envelopes. He didn’t even have time to figure out who he’d go to first; Rachel saw him - and the envelopes - and she went up to him.
“Is that…?” she asked, and he nodded; she beamed. “Who am I playing?” he fished out the envelope with her name on it.
“Genevieve Noble. High society, mother of the deceased.” Rachel nodded, with a serious face, like the thespian she aimed to be. Still, there was curiosity.
“And is Finn…”
“No. He’s your dead daughter’s fiancé.” She frowned. “Who you try to seduce…” She paused, considering the envelope, then smiled and headed off. As crazy as it was, her over-dramatics did work for the activity as a whole.
Figuring to take care of this current line of thought, he next sought out Finn. It took him a moment to get what he was getting at, but once he remembered the things Rachel had told him, he was listening. So Kurt gave him his envelope, telling him about his character of Henry Eddison. He still looked nervous and slightly confused, but he assured Kurt that he was on board.
The next one he went to was Mercedes. She saw him, saw the envelopes, and knew what was coming. So Kurt got right to it. “You’re playing Ella Everly, one of the deceased’s close friends… and you’re having an affair with her fiancé.”
“Yeah?” she smirked, “Who’s playing the fiancé?”
“Finn,” he revealed, not surprised by her surprise. “It’ll be fine,” he assured her. “Do you know where Tina is?”
“Last I heard, she was upstairs,” Mercedes told him, so upstairs he went. It wasn’t long before he found her and Artie both. He pulled both envelopes as he walked up to them.
“Hey, I’ve got a new dinner planned. You guys are still in, yes?” He got two anxious nods. “Great, here you go,” he gave each of them their envelopes. “Tina you’ll be Evelyn Noble, the deceased’s aunt, single and frustrated at being passed over on the family fortune.” Tina smirked. “And Artie, you’re Geoffrey Noble, the deceased’s father, you…”
“Wait, we’re brother and sister?” Tina frowned, connecting the dots.
“You are,” Kurt confirmed. Artie and Tina shared a look.
“Is there a Mrs Noble?” Artie asked.
“Rachel,” Kurt confirmed, getting a chuckle from the pair. “Right, catch you later,” he told them, showing he still had two envelopes in hand. The first of those was handed to Santana, who came at him like she knew the invitations were under way. Kurt didn’t waste time. “So here it is: You play Isabel Eddison, the deceased’s best friend, and her fiancé’s sister. He saw a question form on her face, and he got to it. “You’ll have to wait and see on the dying part.” With that, he went seeking his last player.
“Hey, Kurt,” Brittany greeted him upon sight. She saw the envelope and smiled.
“Listen carefully, okay? You play Marie Noble, and you’re a ghost.” Her smile grew. “You’ve been dead a couple years, and you’re mad your murder was never solved, so you lure everyone back to your house, to act revenge.”
“How does a ghost lure?” she frowned.
“You don’t, not physically; you’ve got me for that. I play Bradley Stanwick, your loyal butler who stayed behind to care for the abandoned house… and then for you, too.”
“’For me’ what?”
“I take care of you,” he explained.
“But I’m a ghost,” she reminded him.
“Ghosts need help, too,” he told her, and she nodded. “Oh, one more thing: you’re gonna kill Santana.” Her eyes grew wide and she startled. Kurt was anxious; this game would be bigger than the last, and he was so curious for it to start.
