You are here to solve a murder mystery.

The mansion is large - you cannot traverse it easily and many rooms are sealed off. Instead, each character has been given a map of the mansion's layout. Accessible rooms are highlighted - characters will be transported magically to each room upon selecting an accessible room.

Rooms that are colored green are accessible. All other rooms are not.

This is an exploradora, meaning that you will be exploring rooms to pick up clues and solve the mystery. You may also interact with NPCs in order to gain clues as well. Should clues be discovered, the map will be updated and all participants in this room will be able to see that clue. You may also interact with other player characters if you like - group up and chat as you please!

Youji is your gamerunner. Please ping your runner on Discord when you want to move to different rooms, interact with the environment, and/or engage with an NPC.

[ "Do you know nothing of your own host?" ]

I do not.

[ "Then read a history book and quit wasting my time."

THE VIZIER steps around Jusis now, as if to leave. ]

[ .... ARE THERE ANY HISTORY BOOKS AROUND NAAN LOVES READING ]

[ there IS!!!!! Just one that catches your eye in the vicinity. ]

[ nice, he's going to reading rainbow this shit ]

[ This is a book detailing a the history of the kingdom. It seems most of it actually just talks about the witch hunts and anti-magic efforts that built the foundation of the crown’s power in the kingdom’s early days, and the creation and expansion of the Church that followed. Most of the more recent history is just a list of rulers and summaries of what they’ve done, and what festivals they received their divine mandate from.

...Festivals? ]

.... Festivals?

[ that's not. ...

....... he doesn't quite understand, but the Vizier appears to be Occupied. ]

[ Festivals .... ]

[ Anyway, there's the sound of something loud happening downstairs. Uh! ]

[ -- oh.

wait, checking his map. what's downstairs? the master bedroom? he already was in the kitchen so may as well go there

..... he's going to flit there, bye Hazel good luck with your seeds. ]

[ he steps directly into two flower children then ]

Ah! You must be the VIZIER. Can we talk?

[ BAD

"Will you waste my time?" ]

Depends. Have you seen these before?

[ HOLDS UP SEED TBH ]

[ His eyes widen - immediately, he tries to grab for the seed. ]

[ NOPE backing up and holding it out of reach ]

[ "Where did you get that?" ]

[ Too bad for THE VIZIER there are two members of Hazel now blocking the exit. One of whom is holding the bag of lethal seeds. ]

Who are you?

[ Hm.

"What is that?"

He's reaching for the bag. ]

[ Pulling it away from him. ]

It's evidence. And you didn't answer my question. Who are you?

[ "How preposterous that you would not know, DETECTIVE. I am the KING and QUEEN's aide, THE VIZIER. Now, hand that to me." ]

[ fucking FIGHT ME FOR IT, VIZIER!!! her expression hardens further and she is. Stuffing the seeds into her shirt. ]

No. It's evidence, and you haven't been cleared yet as a suspect in the King and Queen's murder. Where were you when dinner was being prepared for the royal family yesterday?

[ "Me, a suspect? That is ridiculous." His expression grows more severe as he steps closer, as if trying to intimidate her. ]

[ Weirdly not very intimidated by this dude. Also her body language visibly shifts, as though she's tensing up for a fight. ]

If it's so ridiculous, then you won't have a problem telling us where you were at the time of yesterday's meal preparation.
