I was bored, so I decided to come up with something completely different.
This is a murder mystery. Not any murder mystery, but before it. This story takes place in the time-frame before the murder (also the year is approximately 1960-1970, please no outside world information, nobody cares about that, this is purely so you know what the technology is like.). Your job is to Simply live through the night (Did I mention you could be the murderer? or that you can be murdered? you can influence other to murder? Well, you can.) In fact, as I write this I have no clue who will die. That is entirely the decision of you guys. Without further ado, let us see what happens, shall we?
A butler steps out of the way for you to enter the mansion.
"You're late sir."
"Err, right." You nod as you enter the main hall, a glorious crystal chandelier is dangling from the ceiling, and velvet chairs and furniture are placed neatly throughout the room. Out of the windows, you see the long and worn road leading to the village this manor resides above, trees lining the path, casting shadows onto the ground despite the sun shining above. there are two sets of stairs in this room, which meet at the top and an overhand allows several doors, one of which is a bathroom, and the other two are hallways. In the door to the left, it has all the guest rooms, with the grandmaster bedroom at the end of it. The hallway to the right is mainly storage rooms, with a janitorial closet at the end. there are many other doors and passages, on the bottom floor between the stairs there is a staircase going downwards, spiraling very deep. You have no clue what is down there. The door next to it is a lobby. There is a ladder at a corner of the room, leading to the attic.
You head down the hallway, trailed by the butler. As you enter the master bedroom, there is a decrepit old man lying down on the bed. You are his nephew. Surrounding him are 7 people. Excluding the butler. There is Caroline - his vain daughter, Joseph - his eccentric son, Mary-lynn - his son's greedy wife, Alex - his other, kindhearted nephew, Victor - his foreigner butler (not the one behind you), Sabrina - his light-headed Niece (no relation to either nephew), and Richard - his optimistic son.
The butler behind you- nobody really cared to know his name. Everyone calls him butler, and he is almost entirely emotionless.
Last but not least- you. You're name is David, and you are incredibly schizophrenic. (where you guys come in)
You're uncle is dying, and this is his last day on earth, so he called all of you to come here for this day. If you did not come, no inheritance would be gained.
He opens his mouth, and speaks, much like a croak.
"You all are here. Perfect..."
Everyone was silent.
"As you know, this is my last day on earth."
"Don't say that!" his son sadly yelped.
"I know, as I have made a deal."
"With whom?" butler asked.
"The devil." he said, chuckling. With that, everyone looked at each-other, scared.
"You see, I simply gave him a deal he couldn't refuse. I told him that he shall make me die today, and I shall take one of you with me. Not necessarily at the same time, but nobody shall leave this house before one of you has been murdered. If you try to leave, you can't. The doors are under his spell."
Everyone gasped and started pacing feverishly.
"With that, everyone will get equal inheritance. Including my butlers, but if you are caught with murdering another, you shall obviously be stripped of all the money."
"but why!?" His daughter asked.
"I figured you all deserve this. All of you, greedily grabbing for my money and home. the only one i have regrets for appearing is Alex. You never asked anything of me." He slowly smiled, before dropping into his bed, dead. The light stopped shining through the window. Thunder crashed.
This would be no ordinary day, night, or even week. However long it takes, this will end strangely.
Alright, with the story now in your mind, all of you suggest what to do, say, or try. I control all other characters, and usually choose a random suggestion from you guys ( remember, schizophrenic) And also remember, you don't want to kill someone out in the open, you will be discovered and they will readily turn you in for their inheritance. The moment someone dies, the doors can open. Yes, they seriously are locked with devil magic. I will actively choose the most hilarious suggestions.
So, what will you do David?
