From the minds of DR and Juni we present to you:


http://i.imgur.com/8HTN6bb.jpg

This will be an RP centered around Clue. You know the one. Someone is killed and a bunch of people with funny names try to figure out who it was, in what room they killed them, and with what weapon. So basically, this is a murder mystery RP.

It's going to be set in the Victorian era, and basically you have been sent an invite to attend a ball at an eccentric billionaire's mansion. You arrive and at some point, someone is killed. It's up to all of you to figure out who the killer is and stop them before they strike again.

There are going to a couple roles to play:
-Regular party goers who work with the investigator
-an investigator who is invited to the party
-and the killer.

There will not be a CS here, instead you will PM either myself or Miss Juni and tell us which role you would like to play. We're going to be starting off with only 8 slots. If more people are interested we will open more slots. Now Juni(Bless her) is doing something very cool. She's using her copy of Sims to build the mansion this RP will take place in, based loosely off the house from the original Clue. She's also going to be making what all the character's will look like but it will be up to you to express their personalities through your roleplaying. This is not a chat style RP and third person is preferred. The following characters have been created:

Upon arrival, guests are greeted at the door by none other than Mrs. Ettie herself. Mrs. Ettie is difficult to see in comparison to the grandeur of the mansion however, for around all sides are large, square windows that stretch from ground to ceiling, maximizing the light in each room. The home has its front entrance between the ballroom and the kitchen, which are spaced out into the yard and each have a large bay window protruding from the outside.

After being greeted by Mrs. Ettie and receiving instructions, guests enter the first room of the house- the Hallway. The hallway is more of a foyer in its size and elegance, with dark wood floors and yellow wall coverings with vertical molding. To the right of the foyer, accessible by an average sized door, is the Ballroom where the event is to take place. The ballroom has blue walls with wood wans coating along the edges and beautiful stone floors in a circular pattern.

Inside the ballroom, guests will notice that in the front left corner nearest the door stands a statue of the globe itself as we know it today. Along that very same wall, to the opposite corner lies a statue of the mythical Medusa. On the opposite wall, about halfway between the corner and the door is a small water fountain to give an air of elegance.

And finally, back from whence the guests came, along the wall opposite to that is a large set of wooden French doors that lead to the grand study. The study is large, featuring wood floors, white walls, an elegant rug and a few things for the Master of the house. The room has minimal furniture with only a desk, a chair, an easel, and a couple of solid oak bookshelves.

Immediately entering the study, one notices a door off to the right that leads to the Billiards room. The billiards room is small, with rich red walls and vertical coating along the sides. In it, is of course a Billiards table for guests to play and enjoy themselves. There are also two red chairs in the far right corner of the room for guests to watch the entertainment.

Through the Billiards Room there is a passageway to the library, which is a simple room lined with bookcases of great size and contains a single couch on the opposite wall.

Passing back through the study, on the wall with the art easel is a doorway leading to the guest lounge. The guest lounge is of significant size and has generous seating. Off to the far left corner of the room is three red couches, all positioned to allow comfortable conversation space. There are two candlesticks within the sitting area for light, and a coffee table in the middle. Please do not put your feet on the coffee table, and only set drinks on coasters. Opposite to the couches is a little setup of white chairs and a chess board, please feel free to interrogate each other in a mental battle as you see fit.

Entering back into the study, to the immediate right is a door leading to the dining room. The dining room is simple, containing a large table big enough to seat ten and even a full service bar on the opposite wall. Passing by the dining room is a door leading to the last room of the home, the kitchen. The kitchen is Mrs. Ettie’s pride and joy, so please take care while in there less you wish to upset the cook. In the center of the kitchen is a large island for prepping and storage space, and further against the wall is a large countertop with a stove and full sized refrigerator.

Please note that you may access the kitchen from the door to the left in the hallway, or by means of the dining room- whichever is most convenient to you. The Ballroom may only be accessed by either the study or the Hallway, but not by the Billiards room. The Billiards room is only accessible by the study and the library, and the library is only accessible through the Billiards room or the study. The study is accessible by the Ballroom, the Billiards room, the library, the lounge, and the hallway. The lounge is only accessible though the study and nowhere else. The dining room is accessible by the kitchen, hallway, or study.


More of the finer details will be given through PM's. Standard RPA rules apply. Let's have a ball!

So how will suggestions, accusations, and everything else work in this RP?

Froggy
09-24-2015, 02:17 AM
Well, after the murder as described in your invitations four rooms are suspect. You know what weapon you had and what room you had, so when you talk to each other to ask where they were/what they had, you can use process of elimination like the actual game. We'll send you the answers as opposed to the person you're questioning saying them out loud so to speak.

When you think you know who did it, in what room and with what weapon you can openly accuse them in the RP- but if you're wrong you'll be killed next.

We're still waiting on Kiki to pick and one more player!

Are you allowed to lie about what room and weapon you were in? Even if youre innocent? Just out of curiousity

We only need one more person to play the Gov!

If I read Juni's post right, the asker will be PMed with the truthful answer instead of the person being asked giving any answer out loud. So if that's the case, then no, apparently you're not allowed to lie.

Froggy
09-24-2015, 04:49 AM
^ Lady C is correct. You can lie in the IC if you wish, but the person who asks will be PMed the truth.

Lady Celeste

On another note, since everyone will have a room and a weapon, how will we be able to tell which suspects/rooms/weapons were involved in the murder and which were not? Or will there be clues in the IC narration for that purpose?

Froggy
09-24-2015, 04:57 AM
Well, you know four potential rooms. Use POE to determine who was in those rooms at the time of the murder, then you have to figure out what weapons those four people were holding. When it's revealed how the master of the manor was killed you'll know who did it.

Just so everyone knows, I have another HW assignment due a week from now, so my activity on this site will be a little slow until further notice.
