Had the game already begun? To be honest, Ophelia was sure she'd accurately understood the rules for this thing. But it wasn't like she could complain now. The lights had turned off to depict the first "night" of the game, and Ophelia was no more Ophelia the Ravenclaw who had friends in this room. No, she was now Sofia. Sofia Mancini the best pastry maker in town, and the person who had no idea if anyone within this room was a friend or a foe.

Almost as soon as the lights went out, a gunshot rang in the room, the sound echoing. Sofia blinked, too slow to actually dive down under a table or anything else. She supposed her reflexes weren't being very smart today. But even so, the lights came on pretty quick after that and Sofia was pretty sure she saw shocked faces on everybody.

The first to speak in the room was Emily-- or whoever Emily really was. Could it be that she was the one who'd been the cause of the gunshot? Looking around, Sofia realised that the gunshot probably hadn't actually touched anyone, as everyone seemed to still be in the game. Point one, the interloper has terrible aim.

Putting on her most charming smiles, Sofia looked at Not-Emily. "Wasn't me."

Quinn was surprised as the game started right away. Quinn heard a sound of something being fired but didn't feel anything. Quinn quickly looked around to see if she could figure out who shot it. No one seemed to be "injured" as far as Quinn could tell. One of the boys, Theo if she remembered his name correctly, started asking questions. Not the detective. Sureeeee. Quinn thought. Theo turned to Boris and asked him quite blunty about what he does.
"If you want my character I'll tell you." Quinn said. Quinn looked around. She hoped she wasn't shot next as that would be unfortunate. Then she would be out of the game. At least she would be able to figure out who hit her. Quinn wondered if who she thought was the "murderer" really was. Quinn shrugged as she waited for Boris to answer. Part of her wondered if he was the murderer, the other part thought he looked really cute in the lighting. Quinn bit her lip as she looked at Boris. Turning to Ophelia she smiled.
"Wasn't me either." She said. She wasn't sure if Ophelia would believe her because she wasn't sure she believed Ophelia but there wasn't much of a choice. She already thought she knew who it was anyway.

Boris got a little nervous when the lights went out. So soon the lights would turn on and the person who had been shot would emerge. Boris didn't feel anything, so he wasn't shot. Then the lights came back on. He looked at the girl next to him. She wasn't hit. This relieved Boris. So after all, if Quinn was shot, Boris might have to continue without her, and that was the last thing he wanted. Then Boris looked at the talking boy, whose hair was as white as him, and the boy asked him a question, whereupon Boris raised one eyebrow curiously. Was this boy a detective? If so, why was he acting so openly? Or maybe he was a murderer and was hiding it by acting like that. Boris sighed. "I am a merchant. Maria Romano. Also, when you question people, you draw attention to yourself and as a result, the killer may shoot you. But maybe you're hiding it because you're a murderer. I don't know, but you're still right. The killer may feel nervous when making a statement." Boris talked calmly. A murderer may certainly be cold-blooded, but he may not be. No one knows, but there is still no certainty, so no one can be blamed for that.

He nodded, the Gryffindor tired as it was nighttime. "Get ready" he said with a soft whisper.

Noah drummed on the walls again, trying to repeat the same noise he made last two blackouts. "LIGHTS OUT!" He shouted. Noah gulped, there was a slap against the wall right by his ear that was unwarranted. He repeated the drumming on the wall and turned on the lights, and looked down on the ground, and sure enough there was a bullet. He looked in front of him, and he saw that the closest target to him was Minnie Duke.

Holy crap. "Maybe next time we should add lights for the blackout in here.." Noah mumbled.

"You can't kill me, you know?" So, if the attempted murder was on Minnie Duke, and it missed, there was no point in even getting to do the doctor phase. "Alright. So guys, I have another set of bad news for you. There are no majority votes towards any one member. Let's go through another round again, shall we?" Noah said as he moved on. Unfortunately, this meant that Noah wasn't going to be stabbing any of them.

He found it unfortunate, he would've found it fun.

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.

Murderer Shot Accuracy [1d100]: 22 -> Missed

Result: The murderer attempted to shoot Minnie Duke but failed, nearly shooting Noah as the nerf bullet came dreadfully close to him, the thwacking hitting the wall by his ears.

Emily was a little ashamed to be thinking it, but she would be lying if she tried to deny it... This game didn't really seem to be going in the best direction; rather, the direction it was meant to, and that kind of disappointing for her. A "murderer" among them was really trying their hardest - at least that's what she believed - and so far two gunshots had gun off without any spectacular results. Not that the "voting" phase was any better.

One thing she had to remember though is that when you make plans, they'll never be followed to a T. With that in mind, she donned her "Luca" persona once more. The very least, she should continue for not only the buddies she was with (with a very special one yet to make her appearance) and the fact that this was "Luca's" story as much as anything else. All stories needed an ending, one way or another.

Emily Luca jumped back in and heard the confessionals from some of the rest of the group. With finally a few introductions being tossed in, he had a better idea of who he would be working with... And possibly trying to avoid if he were to keep his limbs together.

"Maria... Carlo... Tony... Sofia..." he met their eyes respectively.

"Luca Marino," he announced formally. "I've got nothing proud and fancy to share but I will say that it's in your best interest not to get on my bad side, as I'm sure the same is for the rest you."

He wasn't trying to be suspicious nor threatening but it was true. "Let's just say that when you're raised in the shade, you find it following you everywhere."

He reclined against the wall. He needed friends now that they were under the watchful eye of an unidentified shooter. The more friends you had, the less chance you'd be targeted at the other end of the gun's barrel - assuming the murderer was alright making friends with someone with a complicated past like Luca.

"Anything else you should know?"

Boris actually sighed and rolled his eyes. This boy was so annoying. He's definitely doing something. But I can't understand what he's doing. he thought in his mind and then looked back at the boy. "So what's your name? And what does it mean, Mr. Genius? I mean, I actually admire you. You really know a lot and you present really good evidence. But to me, it's like you're just doing it to draw attention away from yourself." Boris grinned a little, meaning whatever this boy was doing was adding excitement to the game. And a little fun would certainly be tolerated. Boris first looked at the people next to him, his eyes shifted to the last person about to be shot, then he looked at the boy again. "Rest assured, if I were the murderer, I would try to shoot you because you blamed me, right?" Boris smiled again and this time looked at Quinn. And again to those around you. And he spoke, a little sarcastically but still maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor. "If I am eliminated this time, will the lady here continue alone? I don't want to leave her alone." He smiled. That boy was adding excitement to the game. But Boris was a little angry. This boy spoke in a way that could persuade people, but according to Boris he was definitely still trying to not draw attention to himself. So Boris thought he was the murderer.

The first lights out came and I stood there not moving a muscle. Someone could 'die' this round. I don't think it's gonna be me. There are 6 other people you can murder. I heard a slap of a nerf bullet on the wall very close to my head. Did someone just try to murder me? The lights came back on again and I saw a nerf bullet behind me near the wall.

The lights came on again and no one was voted off. I kept silent for this round and didn't speak anything. It might've been suspicious considering I was the one that someone tried to murder. No one else interacted with me though and I don't think anyone's accusing me.

The lights go out again and this time I didn't feel or hear anything go by me, thank god. The lights came on again and nobody is dead. During this round a few of the other people started talking. One even start rambling like a maniac. I decided to make my presence known.
"Vito Rossi here and Luca, when you said 'not to get on your bad side' would you kill if someone did?" I asked Luca Marino.
So this was the blud that trashed my bar. Do you know how much it cost to repair it? Although he does seem like the violent kind. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the murderer.
"Before anyone asks, its not me. I'm just a guy that make Margaritas."
