Whispers of The Dark Group 2

Reducio

Meyra had no idea how this game would develop and what she was supposed to do, but, what she read about it seemed interesting enough for her curious mind to want to participate. So, dressed in dark gray dress pants, vest, white shirt and a beret, the young Gryffindor walked towards the room where the game would take place.

As she arrived, the space was decorated with well thought details, creating an immersive environment, giving her the sensations she was entering a story from one of her father's mystery books, one of those she had read in secret, or at least she hoped he hadn't found out she used to sneak so many times inside his office.

After hovering her eyes around the room, her green, hazel gaze found the only other person present there. She recognised him from the first time she had sat at the Gryffindor table, after the selection ceremony. She smiled at him and gave him a small wave with her hand, "Hi!" She timidly gave him as she walked towards the beverages' table. Meyra picked up one of the glasses and observed the liquid inside, then smelled it before taking a small sip of the drink. A grimace of disgust immediately showed in her face, one she tried very much to conceal from the older boy, "Uff...okay." She muttered holding the glass between her hands.

Her eyes found the name on his chest, "Vito Rossi...cool name." She noticed, pointing at the nametag, "Nice to meet you Mr. Rossi, my name's Luca Marino." She introduced herself as her character, lightly pulling the tip of her hat in a greeting, remembering she was supposed to be roleplaying for all that to work, "So..." She started as she pretended to take another sip of her drink and looked at him over the top of the glass, trying to figure out what she could say next. Holding her glass between her hands again, she thought, if he was the killer, she supposed he wouldn't tell her a word about it. Her green and amber eyes lightly roamed over his figure, trying to see if he had his weapon hidden. Seeing nothing, she looked into his eyes again, "I just suppose we drink and wait?" She finally asked.

Colin loped into the Small Hall. The place looked totally sus. All muggley. There was a plant in the middle and a street scene. A couple kids were already here. Kim smelled familiar, so he headed over towards the bar. As he walked over, he noticed that Kim had the little card with his character's name on it, Vito Rossi, so Colin fished around in his pocket until he found the one that had been owled to him a while before. Giovanni Moretti.

"Ayo Vito!" Colin said with a wry smile as he leaned casually against the bar. There was another kid there too. Meyra, the one who had the magical lantern earlier. He glanced at her little name card. Luca Marino. He gave her a polite nod. There were some drinks there and food too. Luca already had a glass in hand, sipping at it. Colin picked one of the drinks up and sniffed at it. He wrinkled his nose. "Wouldn't touch this stuff for real money," he said. "Begging your pardon, Vito." He was a healer, after all, right? He couldn't possibly go around actually suggesting that people drink horrible smelling drinks!

Colin looked around to scope out the room. The only person he --- that is, Giovanni --- didn't want to see at all was that prat Carlos. They were always having a disagreement about something! "Do you reckon Carlos will show up? He never did give a very good answer last time we had one of our little debates! Stupid prat. He's going to end up dead, or worse, one of these days!" Either that, or he'd up killing someone else!

Outside of the Small Hall, standing once again in the Entrance Hall, AngelFyre and Simon prepared to enter as their assigned characters. She resisted the urge to frisk him to see if he was packing a gun, because that would be cheating. The frisking part could... and likely would... come later and she grinned at the thought.

She reached into her trench coat's pocket and removed the name tag. It read Maria Romano. She then had Simon help her remove her mink trimmed trench coat before placing the identifier on. She loved that it would affix to her gown with a magnet rather than a pin. She always struggled to get those on straight, so the magnets made it much easier to adjust. Plus, there was no risk of damaging her vintage clothing with the pins. Bonus!

Simon handed her coat back to her, draping it over her outstretched, opera gloved arm. "Thank you, Handsome. I think we should go in separately. How about I go in first and then you can follow? Walking away from you is never an easy thing to do, but I will take comfort in the fact that I am certain you will be appreciating the view as I do," and she chuckled confidently because she knew that was exactly what he was going to be doing. She quickly pecked him on the cheek and turned to walk away, stopping at the entrance to the Small Hall just long enough to look back over her shoulder to see his smiling, admiring face.

No matter how this game turned out, that was a win right there.

When AngelFyre entered the Small Hall proper, she stepped about 2 paces into the room and stopped, nodding at the odd fellow saluting her in his WWII military uniform. “Thank you,” she replied to his greeting. She moved a few steps in, scanning the room. She was thrilled to see that Colin and Kim were present, so at least she was going to know some folks other than Simon. There was a pretty, young girl standing near them whom she did not know and did not remember ever seeing before, so she immediately assumed she must be a first year. AngelFyre looked off to one side and then the other. There was a standing coat rack off to her right, so she went over and hung her coat on it, freeing her hands, before walking over to the group, in a fast-clipped, no non-sense fashion (not the easiest thing to do while wearing stilettos, but years of balancing on a beam in gymnastics comes in handy at times). Yeah, she was dressed for the Ball as a femme fatale, but she was not that for this game. She was, for all intents and purposes in this moment, a Shopkeeper.

"Good evening," and she glanced pointedly at each of their name tags “Vito, Luca, and Giovanni.”. She distractedly turned her attention to the drinks, as one hand moved up to just below her diaphragm and rubbed it gently. Hoping to see something that might resemble milk would have been welcome right then, but no such luck. Sighing deeply, she passed on drinking anything on the trays for the moment and asked her burning question.

“Does anyone have any idea why we have all been gathered here this evening?” Then she quickly followed that question with another, just because it struck her as odd, “And why is there a potted tree right in the middle of the room? Honestly,” and she just shook her head. “This place could benefit from some Feng Shui.”

And then Maria turned her head from polite company and delicately mocked-burped into a mocktail napkin.

Keith was in a pair of cargos and a leather jacket over a black crop-top. He brought with him a satchel which was currently hanging around his shoulder. Inside was a few muggle notebooks and what the muggles called pencils. Keith didn't want to use ink and quills for this game so muggle things came in great use. He didn't want it to be obvious who he was exactly, so he didn't dress like his character would if they were real, as fun as that would have been to dress cool.

Keith walked into the room where the game was being held and looked around at everything, He waved at Noah and the other kid, Pratt was his name as far as Keith could remember. He wondered if Noah would still think Keith had a good future now that he was a werewolf. Keith looked around the room again telling himself it wasn't time to focus on that, the game would begin soon and he needed to act natural, about how he'd find out who the killer was.

Keith walked over and grabbed his name tag, now he was Alessio now.

Alessio made his way to the small table, nodding to Kim, "Hey-" Alessio looked at his name tag, "Vito"

Alessio afterwards went to a table and sat down, seeing Colin, and a few other kids he'd seen around Hogwarts. Alessio minded his business and spectated everyone's actions, seeing the name tag Maria he took note, along with everyone else's names and such.

Tony DeLuca, or rather Jun, entered the small hall, one of the separate events hosted at the Fall Ball. Or Gala of Mysteries as they called it. Her grey women’s suit was perhaps not something her character would have worn but probably closer than one of the elegant dresses Jun had seen other Students wearing. All of them had looked beautiful, no doubt, this attire was somewhat new even for the Japanese girl, as she usually opted for dresses and skirts as well.

As she stepped into the Room, she noted that all of the other participants were already there. First of course, she noticed her cousin, looking as pretty as always and already submerged into her role. Her heart skipped a beat as to remind Jun that she could not talk normally to Mey now. She pinned onto her name tag and nervously fiddled on the hem of her jacket. Who had she signed up for this again? Her role was a Mechanic, something the pureblood ravenclaw knew nothing about.

Moving her gaze, Jun noted that she had at least seen these people somewhere, particularly the blonde boy seemed familiar to her. She could swear he pushed Mey and her apart in their first encounter. There was another boy in an elegant Chinese suit, one that was just talking in a high pitched voice and another that was sat down. There were also two blonde girls, one of which Jun could swear she had seen in the Ravenclaw common room before.

Finally, she moved in to the group and mixed in, greeting them with tipping her head down and flashing a sweet smile at Mey. „Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman,“ she bowed lightly, trying to remember who she was supposed to hold a grudge against and who could be the ‚murderer‘ simply by how they looked. They were trying to find that out after all, weren’t they? „My Name is Tony DeLuca.“

This just in : In a chilling turn of events that have left residents of our once-peaceful town on edge, with the latest ttring of unexplained blackouts have seemed to coincide with the emergence of a new and particularly heinous criminal. The latest victim of the shadowy figure stalking the streets is Carlo Bianci, a local school teacher, who was found brutally shot in the left leg after the power outage. The attack resulted in the immediate need for an amputation to save his life.

According to the distressed 911 call made by a doctor who seemed to be in the vicinity, Carlo was found in a pool of his own blood, struggling to remain conscious as he desperately tried to crawl away from the place of attack. The detective from the Police Department arrived swiftly on the scene but reportedly found no trace of the perpetrator. The lack of evidence in addition to the chaos of the ongoing blackout, has seemingly made it harder for the authorities to piece together the events following the attack.

The mysterious blackout, which has since been deemed a result of the state's overwhelmed power grid, seems to have provided the perfect cover for the new freak serial killer in town. However The town's law enforcement is working tirelessly to restore a semblance of order, those actions being increasing patrols and urging all our residents to stay indoors after dark. The community however remains in a state of heightened fear.

Carlo's condition is now stable, though the loss of his leg is a stark reminder of the horror that lurks in the dark.

Notice
Every mod post, you will notice that the light goes out every time there is a murder. The light stays out for 1 minute to allow the murderer to conceal the weapon in some way and to avoid suspicion. When the light goes out, you'll hear a bang from the nerf gun and if you feel yourself getting shot with a foam bullet, you have been killed. You may lay down on the ground and play dead. You may find a funny pose to be in, whatever. When the light goes back on, a vote will be held to accuse someone of the murder.

I've been accused of a murder! What do I do?
Well dearie, you would've been considered "executed" if the majority votes you as murderer. This means that you are out. The game is over when all of the players are dead except for the detective and murderer, or when the murderer has been accused and executed.

How do I vote?
Every round, you need to send me an owl of who you're voting or accusing. Additionally you MUST post otherwise your vote will be seen as invalid.

I did not post for a round or more, what happens? (if you don't send me your vote but post, it's okay, don't worry about it.)
The murderer will likely kill you the next round.

I'm the murderer! What happens now?
Post each round. Send me your target via owl. In Character, when the lights go out, you can pull out your nerf gun and shoot your target. You will have the rest of the minute to hide the gun or conceal it.

I'm the detective! What happens now?
Post each round. Send me your accused victim via owl. You cannot be killed.

I'm a doctor! What happens now?
Post each round. Send me your accused victim via owl. There will be a second blackout in the mod post in where you will have a CHANCE of healing the shot victim.

I was a shot victim! I was healed!
Good for you, you may continue in the game. However, one of your limbs have been ic AMPUTATED so in roleplay, you would not have that limb because the doctor amputated the shot limb.

What if I have to leave Out of Character and I'm the Murderer or a Doctor or a Detective?
That's fine, just please notify us at some point. We will owl another person and give them an additional "title" for their character that they are already playing. For example: Baker is now Murderer but still the same character, you don't gain another. When it comes to a detective and a doctor, unfortunately, we won't pass it on. The game continues until its over.

Please note: We are taking actions via owl so that actions and votes are anonymous to keep the mystery. What you choose to say or do in your post whether ooc or ic can be used against you so do your best to keep your "secret" role anonymous. If you are a detective or a murderer it can be used against you if you say it out loud. We suggest coming up with an undercover job to conceal the fact. Not required, you could be vague, but what you say and do whether oc or ic can be used against you.
