ROOM 7

[You enter a pleasant sitting room: there are nine plush comfy chairs in a semi-circle in front of a crackling fireplace, and a table set with various finger-foods and two carafes, one of water and one of wine. It'd be a very nice room ... if not for the dummy lying facedown on the floor with a giant butcher knife sticking out of its back and a little bottle by one of its hands, marked with a tiny skull and crossbones. There's a hangman's noose around its neck, though the other end looks rather frayed.

The pleasant voice of a woman -- not the persona -- begins to speak:]

Hello and welcome. I wish it could have been under better circumstances, but today has some interesting circumstances. As you can see, my good associate, Mister X, has met an unfortunate end. I've reason to believe it might be one of you! Shall we see if I'm right?

Let's see if we can solve the case.

It would be easier if someone would confess.

Good plan! Should we try and use force to get a confession?

[looks speculative.] It would be nice if it were possible.

We won't know unless we try now, will we.

I don't have any physical abilities that would allow me to overpower an opponent, and I don't have the object that would let me conquer them from within.

[sadface]

I'm sure we'll find a way.

[frowns…] You have one?

Not really. How about it, though? Put on your best puppy face...?

Puppy face…? [after a confused-looking moment, he manages this.]

[...laughing]

Now go on, show your secret weapon to everyone! I'm sure it'll prompt a confession.

What? This? Why would I--

…Hmm. All right.

Go and conquer, teammate.

So dedicated! Hoping for a reward?

The only reward I need is the betterment of the community, miss.

[laughs]

Haha, wow, really? How lame.

Hey now! I come from a big family, I grew up with this mentality.

Ohhh a big family. I get it, I get it. Too many mouths, not enough resources. That'd explain why you apparently got passed over for brains.

Really, now. Your words wound my delicate heart.

...I see you got passed over for spines, too.

I am a weak hero, after all.

Then you're obviously inferior to a rascal as arrogant and belligerent as me!

Edited 2012-04-29 00:44 (UTC)

Also, I will fight you.

At a moment's notice, really! Just say the word. Any word at all, apparently!

Oh, really? Then what if I say this...?

[DRAMATIC PAUSE]

Apple.

Edited (i had to make the tag more dramatic) 2012-04-29 00:46 (UTC)

Oh you wanna take that back.

We've already established your best traits are being weak and spineless. Possibly absurdly optimistic, too.
