Willard[5+1=5] The duke smiles and nods. He seems awfully excited to get started and takes out a pair of dice he keeps on himself at all times. The duke is a gambling man, after all. He confidently rolls them and grins. [1] Oh dear. In the next few seconds, things get awfully hairy. The dice roll onto the ground, then lay there somewhere under the feet of party-goers. A lady walks onto the pair and slips, causing her to fall over and spill her wine. The wine falls onto a table dwelling candle which spits heavily, and a fire is started on the tablecloth. Oh my. How
incredibly unlikely and woeful! The duke looks at you rather worriedly.
Alexander[5] You fast-talk them, coerce them, intimidate them. You are the secretary of ancient arts and literature at the museum, and it is disgusting that the ruffains that you see before you cannot recognize this. You give them such a talking to that their cheeks are as red as the dawn sun. They are utterly shocked at their behavior and give you such an apology that you feel almost a tinge of pity. They are playing right into your hands. Now, all you have to do is to figure out what to do with them. Hrm. Do you smell smoke?
Your suspicion level has raised! You are now considered Normal!Lady Withby[3] You replace the cutlery, but in the midst of replacing them some bloody fool causes a small fire! You might be hurt! [6] You pull away your hands from the table and find them to be without harm, but cause the candle causing the trouble to fall over causing the fire to grow into even more of an inferno. The entire table is on fire now. This is a bit of a conundrum. [3] Some people are panicking, while others are attempting to ignore it in order to remain polite. You luckily look like an unfortunate bystander rather then a firestarter. [5] The South Croydon Tripper doesn't even notice the fire, the fool.
SeananAha. There's a fire at the eateries table. Yes, generally people don't like fire. Fire tends to burn people quite badly. [4] You note this to the Chief. He does note that this party has gone downhill somewhat, and invites you to have a smoke outside. You nod and walk with him. [5] Thankfully, the judge evacuated, so it's just you and him for now. The cold night air is rather pleasant, almost drowning out the pungent stink of the Chief of Police's pipe. It'd be almost a pleasant night, if not for the screaming of a few people inside.
Lady KatherineYou find Lady Wilburforce and begin conversing with her, noting her lovely appearance this eve. [5] While she is rather perturbed by the fire, she is brought in by your lovely compliment and as such doesn't leave just yet. You both continue to discuss, occasionally raising your voice when someone's hair catches on fire and they panic a bit. Ah, if you weren't planning to murder her, you would love to stay and chat.
