We all know the game 'Clue', the infamous board game and movie about a murder mystery in a huge mansion. If you're not sure about the game, here is a little exert from Wikipedia about the film that was based on the game...
Well, here ye', here ye', Valkyrie is having it's own murder mystery, thrown by our favorite family, the Lévesques at their mansion. Our game will be conducted by Garrett, the only enthusiastic one whom convinced Anne, Jason and soon to be Camilla. He has made ten different characters, whom everyone will be chosen to play. Each has it's own history with the host, whom Garrett has chosen to play. But what happens when his little game turns into something serious? That the invitation about the game got into the wrong hands and while they think they're solving a fake criminal, there happens to be a real one looking for the Lévesque fortune? Be ready for a party never to be forgotten. I know there is a limit on characters in a roleplay, but I figure this could be not a big event, but a mini one, because it's definitely abnormal. And it gives more options than just have two other people join. Here are the characters.
[li]Mr. Holland
AKA; the host
Played By: Garrett
His Deal: A widow of the famous piano star, Lily Marks, he's a rich young man with too much time on his hands. So, he makes a living out of watching people and learning from them. Over the years, he found those nine other people to be the most interesting, and decides to invite them to dinner on a matter of urgency. Why? Because he knows their secrets. Little did he know that the party wouldn't go as he planned.
[/li][li]Chef Paulson
AKA; the cook
Played By: Jason
His Deal: Born in France, this happens to be a fantastic cook with a simple past. Or so everyone thinks. He makes a really good pot roast, but back in the day he didn't make anything taste sweet. A recent ex-con for being a fraud and trying to steal money, he's conniving and intricate. Maybe this is why he planned on being Mr. Holland's chef. But he puts on a show if anyone asks, to say he's starting over.
[/li][li]Mademoiselle Fleur
AKA; the maid
Played By: Anne
Her Deal: Slutty, sultry and mindless. This maid can clean, sweep and flash her fishnets, but up in her mind are only 'oh la la' and 'the lamp is dirty'. Her secret? Many. She has slept with Mr. Holland, the butler and the cook, along with Professor Tucker. She will be accused first for not being in the room when Mr. Holland was killed, but then soon after will meet her fate.
[/li][li]Mr. Brute
AKA; the butler
Played By: ---
His Deal: Mr. Brute is always charming and at your service. Answering the door for each guest, he gets a view on who they are and why they are at the dinner party in the first place. But he isn't all fun and games. He's seen the cook and his ways, and is constantly trying to put the cook in a way back to jail so Mr. Holland wouldn't be robbed. After the murders, he sets up traps for the cook to be framed. He was supposed to be the real murderer, because he knew the maid had slept with Mr. Holland as well. But what happens when he is kidnapped by the real criminal? Once he is, that's when the game is turned serious.
[/li][li]Ms. Pumpkin
AKA; the librarian
Played By: Camilla
Her Deal: Well, you wouldn't imagine a librarian having too many secrets, would you? In all actuality, this quiet bookworm has a few. Mr. Holland is actually her brother, whom she had never known, and she has been reading about him for years. Obsessed with him is more like it. Maybe a sort of sick infatuation, in a stalker type of way. She confronted him, but he pushed her aside and didn't accept her. Suspicious that she's invited, she doesn't talk much throughout the process..
[/li][li]Professor Tucker
AKA; the teacher
Played By: Andrew
His Deal: A college professor and a suave man, he's the epitome of smart intelligence. That's how he got himself into a complicated mess. Once upon a time, he met Mademoiselle Fleur and they had a fling. But when his wife found out, she divorced him. Luckily for him, he found a new wife, but doesn't treat her well. No one likes him because he can be stand offish and rude, a big know it all. Not to mention that when his wife vanishes or the maid murdered, everyone suspects the abusive husband behind it, to make sure Mr. Holland didn't spill that dirty little secret.
[/li][li]Mrs. Tucker
AKA; the new wife
Played By: Tabitha
Her Deal: Mrs. Tucker is an actress, and doesn't even know herself. She plays characters everyday of her life. For example, when asked if she loves her new life with Professor Tucker, she smiles and pats his shoulder happily. But in all honesty, she hates him, but he won't agree to a divorce. So, she found a friendship in Ms. James, his last wife. But what happens when Lorelei finds letters on Mr. Holland's desk with her husband and Laura writing back and forth to each other? Everyone may suspect the odd jealousy and anger of Mr. Holland looking into their lives. Until she's kidnapped by the real criminal after the butler.
[/li][li]Ms. James
AKA; the bitter one
Played By: Daphne
Her Deal: Ms. James thought she had it all, what with her doctor degree, perfect husband and house. Until she saw him screwing a maid. The divorce was hard, but she thought she had moved on. Until she met his new wife, who looked for guidance. Ms. James never liked the woman, and used her to hear about Mr. Tucker's life, which she missed. That's when she started writing to him, but when Mr. Holland blackmails her to coming to the party, she is fired up throughout the night.
[/li][li]Mr. Holland Senior
AKA; the hunter
Played By: Josh
His Deal: A stranger to everyone and a familiar face to many poor animals. A typical hunter with a rifle by his side and a hat anytime he gets, he believes he's a professional. Everyone at the dinner find him the most interesting, but don't know anything about him, until they find out that Mr. Holland is his son. And that Mr. Holland stole his whole fortune. Not to mention he's got all the weapons for the possible murder.
[/li][li]Mrs. Holland Senior
AKA; the purse fwapper
Played By: Ashley
Her Deal: Not many women can say they hate their son, but Mrs. Holland really does. Their son stole all their money, and now they have a little shack in the woods. She came here tonight in order to kill her son, but never succeeded because someone got there first.

Here are some guidelines to this game.
1] first of all, murdered & kidnapped is different. murdered is part of the game and if you are then you go to the maid's quarters to just hang out while the others figure out the murder. kidnapped is by the real criminals in the mansion that will be roleplayed by either me or whoever is kidnapped. they are totally NPC.
2] everyone doesn't have to think like their flashcard character. they just are labeled the character so people can point their suspicions. for example; garrett is the host, but he may think about amanda or daphne when he's really just acting the whole dinner party and being mr. holland.
3] if you'd like to help me roleplay some of the criminals out in italics, please let me know. for example, how they kidnap people and etc. it's going to be a lot of rping for me if i do it by myself.
4] you ARE allowed to be out of flashcard character whenever you want. it isn't a play. for example; camilla could see someone she knows and joke around saying, 'hey professor tucker' and then just say what's up. i doubt anyone in real life would take it TOO seriously.
5] make accusations. be fun with this. run into different rooms. try and fight the ransom with the real criminals in the mansion. this party is bound to be a blast.
Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. Me and Lainey think it's best that you choose one character of yours, so that not all the spots are filled up too fast & you MUST be active for when this happens. I'm not sure when it will, but I figured I might as well get this plot out in the open.
Love Always,
Chels
