@Auphelia
It's tempting to accept your offer about the clothing.
"Oh Mrs. Peacock, what a beautiful dress this is! Oh something is poking me..."
"Is this a secret pocket full of diamonds?! Surely you don't think we are in any danger of being robbed, do you?"

But who knows. Maybe an 'accident' will occur with Agrippina's suitcase...

I wouldn’t exactly say Gander is an amateur, he has been playing for a while, but fair enough.

My bad.
I was using amateur as in 'not a paid professional', not as in 'is a novice'. But I understand the confusion (especially in the context of the sentence). So, fixed.

Had a few extremely busy days, but I hope things are slowing down a little. At least for the next few days.

And you guys are all going to love what Peter finds in his (locked) room. :shock: :eek: :unsure: :eyebrow:

Try not to change the story too much, we'll have some death soon. Of course if you all want to kill someone off have it be that one police man that hasn't yet replied yet... If I find his name I'll edit this post and put it here.

No murder. Not yet anyway. Unless someone murders Peter, I guess.

No, I was thinking more about an anonymous threat.


Though, I've been wondering who is going to get killed.

Can Caolan have a secret? I find it hard to believe that he wouldn't have one.

Gender: Male
Picture: pic
Occupation: Former policeman, unemployed vagabond.
Biography: Edward was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1920. The city had a rich automobile industry, however, for this reason it was heavily economically divided between the rich and the poor. He fell in with the poorer class. His parents were con-men, realizing that they'll never get rich working for anyone else, and used dirty tricks, robbery and other crimes to get by. They were slowly ascending towards the middle class, until they got caught. So, young Eddie got a guardian at age ten. Luckily for him, they were in the richer classes. The money they provided him led him to a pretty nice life, and he naturally grown to despise his parents criminal past, feeling as it casts a dark shadow upon him. In school he was always a bit quiet, strange interests, high sex drive. In high school not much has changed, except he got more friends, but never had any particular love interest come to him until he was eighteen, which is precisely when he lost his virginity. His guardians were out walking one night and accidentally witnessed a bank robbery, getting them shot whilst the criminals were escaping with the loot. Hearing this, he lost both of their love and at the same time their financial support. Depressed, and drunk, he got a job working at some crappy bar located in the slums of the city. Wanting to take revenge against those who murdered his parents, he signed up with D-PD as an officer. Problem is, most of the precint was corrupt, and so was he. Busting mobsters who had more money than he could ever imagine to have got him jealous, and so he and a couple of his associates raided an evidence locker and stole one hundred thousand dollars overall. They were caught, sentenced and discharged by the force. Eddie however got a sentence of three weeks because he sold out his partners. Now without a job and without any friends, he was doomed to die at the end of a bottle. He however, found the answers in Christianity. He went to church every day and found happiness in religion. Without anything to do, he decided to give up his home and all of his possessions and sold them, keeping all of his money tucked away in a briefcase that he'd keep carrying with him. He decided to roam the country in search of new experiences, and one night boarded the Cross Continental Express.

You can go ahead if you wish. I still will have Peter find an unpleasant anonymous threat in his (locked) room. But I can bring that up later after you post.

Will be rebooting soon, with a whole new OP and the like. Look for it in the next few weeks, I want to make this just generally an easier experience. I was a bit amateur with the way I had conducted it this time due to my want to just get it started and get going. Hope to see you all soon since I can be a bit more active!
