Detention, 12/9/06 (Danger Shop: 8AM - 5PM, FHT)
Saturday, December 9th, 2006 02:40 amWhen today's detentionees enter the Danger Shop, they will find themselves in the common room of a very quaint provincial tavern/inn of vague and indeterminate age. A large piece of parchment on the dining table bears the list of detention students' names:
Sam Carter
Molly Hayes
Naomi Wildman
Belthazor
John Connor
Beneath the list is a note directing the students toward one of the bedrooms. When they arrive in said bedroom they'll find Janice, lying on the floor beneath a heavy and low-hanging iron chandelier, with three candles scattered on the floor around her and what appears to be the hilt of a knife protruding from her chest.
Once people have assembled she stands up, grinning smugly, and lets the bladeless hilt fall to the floor, perhaps dashing several people's hopes. "Thought you lucked out, didn't you?" she asks. "Well, there is no luck. This is detention. And today you get to help me with a little research. See, my partner Mel just finished translating the most recent of the Xena Scrolls that we've found, and we're trying to make sense of it. ( 'Seems we've got a little murder mystery on our hands. . .' )
[OOC: OCD is up and we are good to go, and please keep to the appropriate subthreads. I do ask that if you figure out the killer early, try not to spoil it for everyone else. *g* If you really, really need a hint? See the OOC thread. Otherwise, welcome to Clue, Xena style. And do bear that in mind as you try to solve the mystery.
Right now I? Am going to get a few hours' sleep. After I wake up (which will probably be around 8 AM) Meeeeeeep, overslept! At any rate, I'll be around all day, except from about 1PM-2:15PM PST. Whee!]
