ROOM 7

[dramatispersonae]

[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?

Well, thinking about it...

You've seen many things in your time, haven't you, calm and enduring teacher.

Apparently I have.

So given your experience... it'd be fair to assume you might have stumbled upon other murders, no? Who knows, perhaps you'd be quite capable of orchestrating one yourself.

Re: START

[isfet]

I could be capable of it. Then again, everyone here's probably capable of it, or they wouldn't make good suspects.

Good point.
