THEN SUDDENLY, MURDER!

[afterlifer]

Of course, when thing go intentionally awry, they most certainly stay that way. Perhaps you were just finishing up your fish or your delicious boo bento special. Or, you know, that freakish looking thing called a Luther Burger (who comes up with these things..)

The lights go dark. Sudden screams, then when the lights go back on, the first murder victim lies dead in his seat... (Extra dead, even. Is that blood all down his front?) Also he is suddenly in a tuxedo, yes someone changed his clothes while the lights were out, much like Dr. Black/Mr. Boddy in a familiar game.

Under the chairs, everyone will find an envelope with a set of clues and a costume. As for answers, well... Your "Host" of the night will explain a little bit about those.

IC EXPLANATION TO EVERYBODY

[tenminutes]

[ Yuri stands up on the table about half a minute after the lights have gone back on, already dressed in her outfit as Madame Rose. So you can definitely, definitely see her no matter where you are in the room with all that pink/magenta. She raises both of her hands. ]

Attention everyone! As your local psychic of the night and leader of the SSS, I'm here to let you know that there is a murderer in our midst! Beneath your seats are outfits and clues, and now it's time to find out who did it! Poor Dr. Leon Black got taken out and now it's up to us to solve his murder!

All around town, there are various items that could be the murder weapon and you've got clues about which one is correct and who is the murderer under your chair. We're pretty much playing that one board game.

[ Yuri proceeds to explain all of the rules as dictated in the original plotting post, then jumps down off the table and go to unlock the doors to let everyone out into the town to find the weapons/murderer and explore. ]

CLUES

[afterlifer]

Reply to this comment with your character to receive a set of three clues! Some clues may be duplicated, but there will definitely be enough to figure out who it is and what the weapon was!

[ ...
Chihiro was sitting right next to Leon when the lights turned off. He couldn't percieve in the dark, so he tried to feel around, reach out to his friend, fear raising at every second. But he was only grabbing at air, and when the lights turned back on... the first thing he saw was black. Clothes that he didn't see seconds before. And then red. Blood. All over it. All over Kuwata-kun...

It takes a long minute to register what just happened, and even then, he stands there, immobile. The film of Leon's body hanging from that pole, bleeding, with those baseballs dripping about, plays again in his head, over and over and over and over--

He can't hear Yuri's announcement, too busy being paralyzed by horror and staring at Leon's corpse. Of all things to expect, witnessing the death of this particular classmate for the second time in a row clearly wasn't it. He's just standing there, looking like nothing can snap him out of the funk he got himself in.

At the notice of that set of clothes, he's going to snap back to reality, letting the fabric hang from one of his hands. What is he suppost to do with this...

...

Just then, he remembers how to cry. ]

[tenminutes]

Hey!

[ Yuri noticed Chihiro crying. It's not like it was something unusual, so she wasn't wigging about it or anything. ]

Relax, he'll come back.

[maromayu]

[ oh gosh oh gosh LOOK WHAT YOU DID, LEON. YOU MADE CHIHIRO CRY. Izumo, wanting to comfort her friend, approaches him and places a hand on his shoulder. ]

It's fine. It's a pain he had to get murdered like this, but it's fine. [ She isn't too bothered by the murder per se, but it hurts her to see Chihiro crying like this! ] I'll look for his killer, okay?

[thneed]

[ He was sitting across from Leon so the view was lovely.

Can we all pretend that the girly scream that happened when the lights went back on was from a completely different person? He is not going to fess up to that. Totally not him. Nope nope. He covered his mouth and got him from his chair and backed into the wall taking a nice second to compose himself before grabbing the stuff from under his chair and clutching it to his chest ]

Couldn't we just play the board game instead?

[tenminutes]

Nope, it's much more fun this way!

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right. A bloody corpse isn't exactly my idea of a "party game" either, even if we're already dead.

[onewayroad]

[Accelerator is seated as such that he has a lovely diagonal angle view of the dead body. He gives probably the least amount of reaction out of everyone. Just gives the victim a Look. And there goes Yuri's explanation.]

People really need to find better sources of entertainment than this.

[Yes he's a stick in the mud. He'll be an even bigger one once he finds out what his costume is.]

[tenminutes]

They wouldn't annoy you as much though.

[ It wasn't actually an event directed at him, but if he's going to complain she's going to make stuff up. ]

[loserthug]

[ His first impulse was to shout. To call Leon. But he knew that'd be pointless...the damage was brutal, blood all over his clothes. A girl stood up, not one he recognized, to begin explaining. Yeah, no shit there was a murderer among them. But that's all you're gonna say?!

Clues. Outfits. Like he gave a shit, even if they were already dead, someone was going around killing people! Again! He didn't have time for a stupid game!

--But the lights had been out. Even if he did want to knock the culprit out, he had no idea who to go for. Yuri's hand formed a fist on the table. He gave the crowd around him a quick glare, before reaching under his seat. An envelope and a cloak and hat. Hmph. He stood up, hurriedly putting the costume on. Fine. He'll play your game. ]

[sleepybuster]

[Riki's playing too! Though he's rather reluctant to once he discovers just what costume he had picked out for him. A maid dress, really...? And a French maid, of all things? He's eventually coerced to wear it anyway, which he does, so...

See that embarrassed maid over there, Yuriiii Loweeeeell?]

[extraordinarily]

It's about time!

[Haruhi is a horrible person and honestly doesn't care that someone's actually dead. She'll inspect the body for a bit, using her magnifying glass. I mean, seriously. He is going to come back to life, right? They're already dead after all.

She won't touch the body, but she's going to be near it, crouching down and blocking everyone's view.

She's got this.]

[uprooted]

Woooooah... a murder...?!

[So like. What better way to suddenly appear in the afterlife than to pop in during some mystery murder dinner? Which is what has happened to Menma. Of course, seeing as how she just got here, she has no idea about the situation here, nor does she particularly care at the moment. What she does care about, however, is the fact that someone has apparently just been murdered, and it's up to the people here to figure out who the perpetrator is!]

It's up to Detective Menma to solve this mystery!

[Overflowing with bravado, Menma swiftly pulls on the detective outfit that had been sitting under her seat. And then she firmly lifts her magnifying glass up to her eye, holding it there while standing in a stiff, rigid position. And just. Standing there. Yes.]

[theheroguy]

[Goku stares blankly at the murder scene...]

... Since he's already dead, he's gonna be fine anyway, right?

[He'll look up and down the table, eventually setting his eyes on Leon's plate.]

... Is he gonna finish eating that or can I have it?
