Cognitive Logic in Understanding Evidence; Wednesday, Second Period [01/06].

The class instructions would direct the students to meet at the danger shop for each class, unless otherwise noted by the teacher, and if they were new and had trouble finding the danger shop, well...they probably weren't going to do too well in a class about finding things out, were they? Either way, as they arrived, they would find themselves on the doorstep of an elaborate, ostentatious mansion in the middle of a dark and stormy night. A butler greets them at the door before ushering them in, welcoming them to the party. "Mr. Corpse shall be down shortly," the butler assures them, leading them into the dining hall, where a long table awaits with chairs becoming progressively filled by classmates and your teacher. "He apologizes for the delay, but implores you to please, get started without him! So have a seat, and we'll begin!"

Once everyone was there and seated, the class did begin, twofold. In the butler moving around to place before everyone the first course of what is clearly a very fancy meal, and in Rosa looking them all over and explaining.

"Welcome," Rosa said, "to Cognitive Logic in Understand Evidence, a practical look at solving a very specific crime. For the purposes of this class, you don't know each other. You've never seen each other in your entire lives. We are all strangers here gathered under the invitation of a mysterious Mr. Corpse. Do you know Mr. Corpse? Is he a stranger to you? Who are you and what are you doing here at his party? All details that only you and our host are privy to....

"So," she picked up the glass of 'wine' that the butler had just filled before moving on to the next cup, peering thoughtfully around the table, "who might you be? And how is it that you know our dear Mr. Corpse? That will be our first class, getting to know our fellow diners, on this night where absolutely nothing could possibly go wrong..."

Entering a room that turned into an entire new reality was definitely new experience for Enola. Not to mention getting rained on while indoors!

It took a bit of concentration to make sure she took the time to concentrate on what she was supposed to be doing not ogling the magic that created this room.

“Oh! Right. Allow me to introduce myself. I am May Beatrice Posey. I am a recent widow as my husband Raphael recently passed away in a bizarre gardening accident.”

She pretended to dab her eyes with a hanky and sniff in sadness.

“Mr. Corpse is my brother-in-law’s cousin twice removed. Unfortunately both my sister and brother-in-law died a year ago after attempting to cross the Thames in a rowboat so we aren’t that close.”

Enola made a note to wear her widow costume for the next class.

Wayne frowned down at his plate a little for a moment, chewing his bite and swallowing it before revealing his absolutely brilliant character for this whole tom fuckery of a class.

"Name's Wayne," he said. "Erm. Mr. Corpse...bought one of our dogs."

So he wasn't good at the whole make-believe thing.

And Mr. Corpse had a dog now, apparentleh?

If someone doesn’t use the phrase “Flames on the side of my face!” I’ll be very disappointed.

Enola, despite wearing a nice dress, had spent most of the meal eating like a trucker. So when the butler made his announcement she also echoed the “Dead!” But with food in her mouth.

Apologies to the person across from her who might have had a few crumbs spat in their direction.

"Goddess," Elli murmured, looking around with clear delight. "If I didn't know this wasn't real..."

Alexis had totally been in way bigger mansions before, and ones that may have included more people in varying states of undress.

This totally did look like a murder thing though.

Elli hesitated a bit, listening to other peoples' introductions to get an idea of how to play this.

"I'm Piper Grace," she said, taking a moment to note how weird it was to have a last name. "My mother and Mr. Corpse are old friends, and out of the goodness of his heart, he's been generous enough to sponsor me to nursing school."

She was staying with what she knew while also trying to be creative.

'Piper' lowered her eyes. "Some have said that I resemble Mr. Corpse but, of course, that is impossible. My father died in an accident when I was young."

Ah, but now she was possibly the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Corpse.

But, Goddess, what a name.

Even though she had known something like this must be coming, as it was part of the whole class and all, when people starting screaming, Elli couldn't help but scream too, pushing back her chair...

And then tripping over it, falling to the ground.

She stayed there, one hand to her chest.

"Goddess!"

"My name is Alexa Daisy," said Alexis, just a smidge overdramatic. "And I know Mr. Corpse very well, if you know what I mean." And then she winked.

...with both eyes at once. Don't mistake that for a blink! No, it was very clear that she was somehow winking with both eyes at once.

"Nooooo!" Alexis fake-wailed, throwing an arm across her face in what was totally despair. "Not my beloved Steven!"

Did Mr. Corpse have a first name? Apparently he felt like a Steven to Alexis.

"Oh," said Wayne, head tilted curiously. Innocently. "In that you went to school together?"

He knew exactly what she meant, but this kind of play-pretend was more his speed.

Even if he was also half concerned that Alexis might be having a stroke or something.
