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.

FOYER

[hot_mess_express]

[ You were here at the beginning of the game. There are a lot of nice decorations here, but it's a little daunting to think about now that there's murder. At least there are still snacks. . . ?

There are now two bodies in the foyer: an older man and an older woman, dressed in beautiful embroidered clothing. There are people around to weep and cry, but none are approachable. You may examine the body here.

Go ahead and mingle or converse with other characters here if you like. When you're ready to start adventuring the house, please ping your runner on Discord. ]

[After attempting to wave his hand in front of the people.]

It seems witnesses are not among our resources at this juncture.

Re: FOYER

[saddleclub]

What?

Re: FOYER

[dragonblooming]

At least not these ones.

Re: FOYER

[hissoff]

On the contrary, regicide is one of my favorite hobbies.

Re: FOYER

[ruinatings]

Must all of these little adventures be in such bad taste?

Re: FOYER

[hot_mess_express]

[ The bodies look sallow, skin looking less elastic than normal (though maybe that's because they're dead?). There are fluids present, both blood and otherwise, and honestly it doesn't smell all that great. ]

Re: FOYER

[crimeson]

What?

Re: FOYER

[saddleclub]

...Is it now?

Re: FOYER

[dragonblooming]

[ hhhhuh. Where is the blood from. Any obvious injuries or is this like, a 'bleeding from ears or nose' situation ]

Re: FOYER

[hissoff]

-- hahaha! You're taking me seriously?

Re: FOYER

[saddleclub]

Very well, we shall just discover what we can.

[Joining you in corpse examination like he's not kind of icked out by dead bodies this is fine.]

Re: FOYER

[saddleclub]

You seem put out.

Re: FOYER

[saddleclub]

[...]

So it appears.

Re: FOYER

[ruinatings]

Yet another dilemma designed for your skill set, hmm?

Re: FOYER

[hot_mess_express]

[ This is definitely a 'bleeding from whatever orifice exists' situation, though there does also seem to be a few bruises and minor wounds going on, too. ]

Re: FOYER

[crimeson]

[ugh it would be really nice if i could grudgewank in these circumstances but i like you too much now???]

Yeah, it's pretty convenient, all told.

Re: FOYER

[dragonblooming]

[ genuinely seems like, medically detached from it, stick with me kid we got this ]

Since apparently we're detectives...

Re: FOYER

[bitterwiththesweet]

What the mess is this supposed to be?

[ HOW COULD SOMEONE JUST KILL A MONARCH LIKE THIS??? ]

Re: FOYER

[crimeson]

Yeah, I can see how I might.

Re: FOYER

[bitterwiththesweet]

Can't really say I'm a fan of this. Like, at all?
