The events of this terrible night took place between 2PM and 6AM the next day.

2PM


Today was a special day on a seemingly abandoned island in the Soured Orange Ocean where a large decaying castle is barely standing. Today 23 guests were going to come to this island for a special dinner party, where an important announcement was to be made later that night during dinner. This is mostly because the mysterious party host was going to reveal him or herself and reveal something important regarding the previous world they were in, as most of the party guests are all from the same world they were in before they came to Li. It was also around this time that guests were starting to come to this mysterious castle for there one night stay.

Yes, there deadly one night stay in this abandoned castle that used to belong to two kings, one of which was one of the guests, albeit he didn't want to but an old army partner of his pestered him to go. He also asked two girls to come with him so he can have people to talk to instead of any guests at the party as he considers them annoying.



The first guest to arrive as the so called Lord of Games, who would often boast about how he's...Well the god of games and often makes fun of everyone he see's because he thinks hes inferior then everyone else due to being...The Lord of Games. "Hello?" LOG called from the foyer of the castle, looking for the current owner and possible third king of this castle. "Mr King sir. It's me one of the guests. I came for the party. Everyone else must be as slow as those Goombas that weird Princess Toadstool keeps around in her kingdom instead of executing them like a real princess would do. But anyway i'm the fastest due to being a god HAHAHA I'm even better then those Kid Icarus people. I'm so cool." LOG boasted to himself. However he did not get any answers from anyone in the castle, so he decided to head upstairs to see if anyone was up there.



When he reached the next floor he would see that all the doors were closed. Except for one that was beside him. A door which took him to a study where there was a piece of paper on a nearby desk.



LOG floated over to investigate the piece of paper, only to find that it was a will. A will written by the host of this party. "A will? I'm surprised nobody at the life sphere has wills written yet. Because there going to be forgotten one day like trash while I will be still alive, being a god over them." LOG boasted again as he began to read the will. Unaware of a mysterious figure standing by the doorway to the study. The figure was holding a metal pipe in there hands as he or she slowly walked up towards LOG, who's pong eyes lightened up in shock over who wrote the will.

"Wait, he wrote the will? But that's impossible he's supposed to be de---

"Hey."


"Hu---Just then LOG was struck in the back by the metal pipe, giving him a large dent at the back of his head. When he turned and looked at the figure, he was struck again, this time in the face, causing his TV face to quickly break as glass shards from LOG's face fell all around the room as the Lord of Games fell on the floor in front of his mysterious killer...Dead.

"Argh, dammit." The killer held his or her hand in pain. It was bleeding because a glass shard from LOG's face managed to cut into there hand and was now bleeding on the floor. The killer quickly left the room to get bandages for there wounded hand, leaving the corpse of LOG behind in the study.

The killer lost enough blood to create a small puddle in the room in front of LOG's corpse when one of the windows in the study blew open due to strong winds on the island. It started to push the small puddle of blood on the floor, which spelled out something that reads...

A RARE MURDER MYSTERY!

3PM








An hour later near the shores of Soured Orange Ocean. Theodora sat on a nearby rock, having just arrived at the meeting spot, holding a small box that was big enough to hide a person of her size in it. The box proceeded to shake, indicating that someone is hiding in this box...Conker. "Tell me again why I have to carry you into the castle? Your too heavy even for a sorceress like me." Theodora sounded annoyed that she has to carry Conker around until they made it to a spot on the island where he can be alone. "Because, I really, really, don't want to talk to those idiots that were going to meet on the Island. Especially Rodent, he's going to be here soon and start pestering us even before the party starts!" Conker himself sounded annoyed from inside the box as he moaned in sadness from within the box.

Theodora meanwhile tried to find the bright side of the situation regarding this dinner party. "Don't worry Conker. Even if all the other guests on this island might be rude, me and Chell will still keep you company. Plus think about all the stuff we can eat at this castle during the party." Just thinking about food made Theodora drool, so much so that some of it was starting to leak from within in the box.

"Uhh, mind not drooling in my panic box." Theodora stopped and looked down, smiling. "Oh right. Sorry. Chell and Rodent should be here soon, maybe Chell been through this situation with dinner parties before? I remember going to dinner party's back at my old school, and getting bored out of my mind because most of the topics everyone at the party would talk about were non magical. But like you, I had two friends with me to keep me company." Theodora lamented as she continued to sit on the rock, waiting for Chell to appear.

So they can go to this seemingly regular dinner party at this castle...Where nothing bad will happen tonight!

[Coolshaymin]

Near Theodora and Conker in his little box, a strange purple portal opened up and spat out a girl who landed on her face. She was not wearing her hoodie this time but she pushed herself up regardless to take in the island as the portal closed... Well, as it would initially seem at first anyway. "I still need to work on the spatial warp drive feature on the Portal Gun. It could be helpful but it's still really unstable. Whoever invented that really must..." Chell began to talk to herself until noticing Theodora and... a box nearby. She quickly silenced her technical speak and dusted off the dirt she got on her when she fell.

"Uh, hi. I was just testing something. Seen the squirrel?... Oh, and you look like you are struggling with that box. I can help you with that," Chell asked, apparently not realizing Conker was in the box she was carrying around. Chell was actually very fit for someone that looked to keep to herself on most occasions.

[Deleted]

Theodora turned when she saw Chell appear from the portal, as first she thought she was some starvia teleport monster and slowly took out her wand. When she realised it was Chell and quickly put her wand away. "Hey, so you can teleport to different locations with your portal gun now. That's so cool!" If only Theodora mastered portal spells. She tried to once, but she didn't want to talk about that incident. "Oh, it's ok. I can ho---PSST, It's fine!" Conker called quietly from the box as he waited for Chell to hold him. Unfortunately that quickly ended when someone appeared from the sea.



Theodora turned and saw someone on a boat speed towards the trio. "Hang on lady, i'll save you from that box bomb!" The person on the boat called out to Chell as he quickly dramatically parked the motorboat in front of the trio, causing sand to hit the two woman as the man revealed itself to be...

"Did he say a bomb?"




A grey squirrel, a very ugly grey squirrel with glasses, which was Rodent. He quickly jumped off from the boat, rudely shoves the box from Theodora who was still busy spraying water in her eyes before Chell could take the box from her and throws it on the ground, where Conker quickly falls out of. Rodent, realising his mistake...Does not apologise to Theodora and Chell but instead runs to Conker to hug him. "CONKEROHMYGODITSBEENAWHILEOLDPALOLDBUDDY!" Rodent spat in Conkers cheek with his lisp as he hugged his best friend closely. Conker looks annoyed. "We are not friends Rodent. And what the hell, way to make a rude entrance." Conker easily pushed him out of the way as Theodora walked up to the two, who's eyes were puffy from the sand.

"So, your a friend of Conkers? From a war that happened on your world judging by the clothes your wearing?" Theodora asked, pointing out how Rodent was strangely still in his army clothes since the day he was separated from Conker. "And why are you nice to me? I thought you wanted me dead after wasting all the kingdom money like everyone else?" Conker looked angry at Rodent, wondering why he was being nice all of a sudden.

Rodent's eyes twitched for a second before going back in place as he holds his forehead.

Rodent also did not give a clear answer. He didn't even answer, as Theodora turned to Conker. "You wasted money in your kingdom?" She said to the squirrel, who shrugged. "Yeah, on beer, poker and hookers, the real standard stuff, that's kind of another reason I don't want to go to this party tonight, all the guests might want me dead because they wanted to execute me for being a bad king back in my world." Conker revealed as Theodora looked at him. Angry that he wasted money fixing problems across his kingdom on useless stuff like that.

[Coolshaymin]

"Yeah, I discovered the attachment that makes rifts can be modified for travel. It's pretty unstable though so I have to work out a few kinks. Glad it got me here and not some other place," Chell replied to Theodora as she went to grab the box. She was actually being more socially open than usual, maybe because she felt she could relate to the others here. She never really felt a place to belong and a lot of people she found to be trouble. Still, she was beginning to open up to the idea of being more herself now as time went by and she got used to living in a decently normal place... For her past life anyway.

However, before she could get a hold on a box she heard a shout and looked to see a motorboat zooming onto their location with a squirrel on it. Was that Conker? She just remained silent as the Squirrel took the box and revealed... Another Squirrel? Which one was Conker?... Oh, the orange one, got it. "... Everyone at the party wanted you dead?" Chell asked simply as she looked to Rodent. The whole blowing money thing did not seem to bother her strangely enough. She wasn't exactly a fan of higher ups anyway and honestly, she could imagine a lot worse things than wasting money. Most of those things coming from personal experience. Still, the thing that actually bothered Chell was something else entirely about what Conker just revealed to her and Theodora.

"Inviting him to a party with that group? Why?" Chell asked simply, noticeably dropping her pleasant and social demeanor for a much more simple and direct one with a somewhat cold tone. The woman's attitude seemed to change in an instant as she just looked at Rodent with a piercing and unamused stare. Did he think that they honestly would forgive him? Or was there more to it? She was understandably very suspicious.

[Deleted]

"Of course. I think it was pretty far wanting me dead for wasting money. I didn't cause an economic downfall or anything." Conker answered Chell. Unlike Rodent, who was panicking and trying to his best to ignore the trio's questions as Conker and Theodora joined Chell at looking down at Rodent, demanding he gives answers. Only for him to sweat and bend down, grabbing his head. "No...No...I can't tell them." He told himself as he began to breath heavily. Theodora looked a bit concerned and reached out for him. "Uhh, are yo---

*SLAP* "Huh!?" Theodora's hand was slapped away by Rodent's, who looked normal again. "Uhh. What I mean is...We want to forgive him for treating him so harshly. Plus he is apart of our world, and a lot of people from our world are coming to this party, there already there in fact. The host is going to reveal important information during dinner. Everyone in our world is allowed to go. Of course the host will surely won't mind a few exceptions." He sounded rude when he replied, and glared at Chell and Theodora when he said the last part. "Excuse me. But do you even want me and Chell to be at this party?" She asked as Rodent bluntly replied. "No...But I guess you two can come since you are Conker's friends." Rodent sighed as he walked towards the motorboat.

"Here Conker you can sit with me. At the front." Rodent sat on one of the two seats of the motorboat before looking at the trio. Conker looked uncomfortable, so it was up to Theodora to handle this situation. She quickly sat beside Rodent. "Well, actually. I think it would be better if Conker sat at the back with Chell. That way if he accidentally falls out the boat, Chell can just reach for him. While you won't because your the same size and won't reach him." Theodora came up with a reason for Rodent to allow her to sit beside him.

"Ugh, fine, you can sit..." Rodent moaned as Conker sat on one of the seats on the back and smiled at Theodora. "Thanks." He whispered to her as the three turned to Chell, waiting for her to get on the motorboat so they can start the hour long voyage towards the island.

Wait...Hour long trip? With Rodent? Uh oh.

[Coolshaymin]

Chell raised an eyebrow as the squirrel attempted to explain himself to the group about why Conker was invited to this party. She was very skeptical what with how secretive he was being and all. Not to mention his glare gave her a bunch of signs that he wasn't being truthful and had something about them being here. Clearly Conker bringing friends along was not to his liking and probably not to the group either. Still, Chell did not question further and instead looked to the boat... She'll just need to be alert at this party then since something could happen at any moment with these tells. Unfortunately it does not look like they have a choice and her Rift function may take a long time to restabilize. Probably at least a few hours at the lowest estimated time.

"... Agreed. I can support him just fine if he falls," Chell agrees as she walked over to the motorboat and hesitated for a moment... It... Has been ages since she was last on a boat of any kind. She was very little and it was in a time she nearly completely forgotten about... A time she'd rather leave behind her and forget. After recollecting herself, Chell stepped on to the motor boat and sat down next to Conker.... With how the gray squirrel looks at her and Theodora right now, this is going to be a loooooong ride.

[Deleted]

Theodora felt uncomfortable on her seat as the group would hear the sound of a trumpet playing a creepy tune around the boat. She would soon discover that there was a trumpet under her seat which caused her to sit uncomfortable on it. "Whoops. Sorry." Theodora placed the trumpet under her legs so she can put her feet above it.

After Chell took a bit to get onto the boat. Rodent quickly started the boat up and drove into the sea with the group as he began the journey to the castle for the dinner party. It was going to be an hour long ride so it would leave time for the group to talk until they arrive on the island. It was awkward to say the least, since Conker wasn't sure what to talk about without bringing Rodent into the conversation, and he didn't want to hear his lisp for a full hour.

So it was up to Theodora to break the ice.

"So, who want's to talk abou---Yeah Theodora nobody on the boat cares what you think. Let's talk about my life!" Theodora tried her best to resist the urge to punch Rodent off the boat but she tried to steer the conversation back to magic. "But Ma---I was born in such a depressing home. My parents would argue all the time and all of my siblings would slowly start to die off in horrific ways, until I was the only one left." Rodent went on, anyone trying to interrupt him would just make him speak louder until the person would stop talking.

"Rod---My first sibling, age 21 fell down a well in my family's backyard trying to catch a bucket of water, he cracked his head all the way down to his chin." Rodent explained which made Theodora and Conker very uncomfortable.

(4PM)

After an hour of hearing Rodent's depressing story where he explained how some of his siblings died from terrible illnesses and accidents involving buzzsaws, rat poison and hammers. Rodent went on to talk about his final sibling who died. "Oh god...Hans, he was 5 months old h---Look, I think I can see the island from afar, were finally here so we can stop hearing this story!" Conker pointed to a large island from afar. In the centre of the island there was the large Castle where Conker used to rule in. Just seeing the castle made Conker even uncomfortable then Rodent's story about what happened to his family. "Oh course. The host of this party is like a father figure to me now. I don't even care about what happened to my father. Did you know he got burned at the stake for harbouring gun power?" He turned to Theodora, who slowly shake her head.



"Please stop talking."

The four would arrive on the docks of the island. Which looked a little something like this: Map of the Island 

(Imagine the manor in the middle of the map as the castle.)



Theodora and Conker quickly got out of the boat and looked at the island. "Strange. The castle was never on an island like this before." Conker looked around the area. "Maybe it just fell on the centre and nobody who used to work at the castle didn't move it with magic or something? After all they could of just up and abandoned this place for the life sphere. Until today that is." Theodora theorised before turning towards the castle in the centre of the island.

It looked, like it was glaring down at the four. Rodent meanwhile got off from the boat, not knowing that he left his keys in the front so someone could easily ride off with the boat, maybe Chell might notice? "AHEM!" Rodent said loudly scaring Conker and Theodora as the two turned towards him. "Please follow me Conker...Oh and Theresa and Shelly." Theodora facepalmed. "It's Theodora." She informed the annoying squirrel as she and Conker followed him towards the castle.

No wonder Conker hates this guy.

Outside The Castle

[Coolshaymin]

Chell just kind of sat there and stared out at the water as the Rodent started going on and on about his life story and how bad it was. She did not really care since the story was so cliche and over the top. Or, rather, her past has made her not even phased by this sort of thing. So what if your family was bad and were all gone, so was Chell's, at least she keeps it to herself. Oh well, the orange waters was enough to charm her nerves and distant herself from the otherwise super uncomfortable story as she thought to herself about the situation and her new friends. Just kind of sighing to herself at how much of her life has been wasted due to GLaDOS's evil ways...

After the hour, they reached the shore and Chell took her gaze away from the ocean. Huh, this island was huge and really fancy. It did not look like it would be protected from the Starvia though outside being in the middle of the Orange Ocean... If that was even a protection. Still, she had to admire the land and the castle for a moment. If only she could remember what her old home was like...

However, Chell noticed the keys was still in the boat when Rodent started to lead them off... Chell knew she needed a way home once the night was up and decided that Rodent's permission was not needed. She checked to see how much attention he was paying to them, doubting there was much with how he hated them. If she had an opportunity, she would make to snatch the keys out of the boat and store them away for later so the boat could not be taken away. If she could tell he was watching them too closely to get away with it, she would not try. Either way, she would follow him to the castle. She did not correct Rodent either, remaining fairly silent as she was her quiet self for now.

[Deleted]

When the four entered the castle. The hall to the first floor would look a little something like this: First Floor

It was a fairly large room which would make sense since they are in a castle. "Oh, this is a nice kingdom that was surprisingly cleaned up upon landing on Li, huh?" Theodora asked Rodent who ignored her and walked further into the hall. "Jugga, Birdy. The last three guests are here!" He screeched causing Theodora and Conker to grab there ears in pain. "Nice to know that your voice didn't drop when you hit puberty Rodent." Conker taunted the squirrel before he realised what he said.


"Wait, did you just say?



Jugga



And Birdy?"

The two suddenly appeared at the four. Jugga was wearing a maid's outfit, that fitted her gigantic size. Surprisingly she was big enough to fit in the castle. Birdy meanwhile was more along the same size as Chell and he was wearing a servant's outfit. It seemed that they worked in this castle now instead of being a cave woman and Scarecrow respectfully. Conker seemed to be surprised at seeing those two, Birdy and Jugga did as well. "Conker!?" Birdy sounded surprised. "Birdy!?" Conker responded, surprised as well. "Conker!?" Jugga also responded, surprised that she saw that squirrel that she met back in her own world again. She thought she would never see him again, especially when he became famous after taking over as king.

"I'm guessing there your friends back in your world, well your few friends since everyone hates you?" Theodora nudged Conker who smiled upon seeing Jugga. "Well Birdy is...But Jugga well." Jugga proceeded to whack Conker in the head with the feather duster. "Sorry but again, that's not going to happen. I'm a former cave woman turned maid. And your...A squirrel!" Theodora leaned down to help Conker back up again, not seeing Jugga's problem. "Trust me lady, I seen more weirder relationships back at the Life Sphere." She turned towards Chell. "What about you Chell? Seen any weird relationships in your lifetime?" Theodora asked her friend, Conker pouted that Jugga had moved on. He was single now and he wanted to get back in the dating game.

Especially after...Her death.

"So you work for whoever lives here now?" Conker asked the two. "Of course. The host of the party gave us jobs here before we came to this planet. He even taught me how to speak proper English now. I feel more special, even more special then my ex-boyfriend. Anyway I should lead you three to the bedroom your going to stay in tonight, follow me." Jugga walked towards the stairs to the second floor as Conker smiled and proceeded to follow after Jugga. Theodora meanwhile looked at the laundry chutes and closets.

"Hey are those chutes and closets?"

"Locked...Well the chutes are. Me and Birdy are the only ones in this castle that can unlock them, but the closets are unlocked and are filled with things belonging to the host of the party. I suggest you don't enter them."

"Oh."

Birdy and Rodent left as Jugga, Conker and Theodora headed upstairs. Chell could follow the three if she would like or secretly follow Birdy and Rodent, who were heading into the kitchen. Possibly to finish preparing for the dinner party which is going to start soon.

Outside the Castle
Castle: First Floor

Guests Remaining: 22
(As the night goes on, guests will start to drop like flies and the counter will decrease each time a murder happens, make sure you don't become one of the victims!)

[Coolshaymin]

As Chell followed the others in she noticed this castle was in pretty good shape actually. Strangely good shape for being brought to this planet she'd have to say but her own world seemed decently spared... For better or worst. She clenched her ears with the others as the noisy squirrel screeched like some cat in pain!... Not that she would be very familiar with that sound. The quiet girl looked to the people that were called in and... Oh... Ooooooh... That woman was huge. Seriously, was that size even normal for humans?

Huh, looks like these two were actually friendly towards Conker... And not in the creepy way like Rodent.... And him and the Cavewoman were apparently in a relationship at some point... Chell... Was not sure how to feel about that. "..." Chell merely shook her head at Theodora's question. Honestly, she has not really seen many relationships in her time... A lot of it was spent with G.L.A.D.O.S... Unless you counted that as a weird relationship. As if people would ever do that though. Seriously, she was an AI based on her mom that tries to kill her, who would even consider that? That wasn't even taking into account the Emails she kept sending her.

Wait, her exboyfriend was special? Was she talking about Conker? He did not seem very special... The quiet girl looked to the chutes and closets, keeping them in mind for now. She did not think she needed to note them to herself but honestly, with the bad vibes from Rodent, she was not going to take many chances. Chell went to follow Juggaa, Theodora and Conker before noticing Rodent and Birdy heading for the Kitchen... She did have some interest in what they were doing... But the Kitchen is where you prepare food and this is a party so not really anything too odd to expect. Besides, she was here to keep Conker and Theodora company and shouldn't be snooping around. Someone will probably notice she did not tag along, if not giant woman, then the orange squirrel and magic girl definitely. Chell only had a brief pause before the quiet girl followed the others upstairs.

[Deleted]

Map of the Second Floor



The first thing the group would notice is a chandelier. That looked very unstable and that it could detach and fall anytime. "Uhh, can I ask about the chandelier?" Theodora asked Jugga who simply laughed. "Silly girl. It's always like that, and we like it because it adds a dramatic factor in this castle. It was last owned by a cult ran by the Barrow's Family, which they gave to there butler because he was the only outsider that they liked as a retirement present...Before it detached in his own and fell on him!" Jugga explained the origins of the chandelier. "Wasn't the Barrow's family behind that massacre involving those four orphans. Three of which died? I just happened to read about that in a library last week." Theodora replied...Jugga simply laughed, not wanting to talk about something so depressing.

The group walked upstairs to the next room of the castle, which had many rooms and like before there was laundry chutes near the stairs. If you listen close enough, many voices of both genders. "I guess this is our bedrooms?" Theodora asked Jugga as she turned towards the trio. "Correct. Although there is a few extra rooms, such as that one over there!" Jugga pointed to the door that would lead to stairs leading up to Jugga and Birdy's room. She turned to the doors in front of the group. "All of the guests are now here for the party. Of course you three aren't in your rooms yet, and there is still one guest missing." Jugga revealed.



"What was that?" Conker looked around, wanting to know the source of that organ playing. "Oh, that always plays when something spooky happens. Our last guest, LOG or as he likes to be called, Lord of Games has gone missing. He said he was going to arrive to this island soon but he just never showed up." Jugga explained, Theodora simply shrugged. "Maybe he just had second thoughts and simply left." She theorised. "I wish I can leave...So what's that door over there that one sounds quiet." Conker pointed to the door to the study. The two walked towards it as Jugga opened the door for them. "That's just the door to the study...It's also the only room in the entire castle that I can't go into." Theodora and Conker looked into the study.

But there was nothing out of the ordinary, there was however blood on the red carpet. But it was barely noticeable as Theodora and Conker looked back to Jugga. "So, can you show us our rooms?" He asked the cave woman as she walked towards the door to the room the trio were going to stay in for the night. Nearby, two voices can be heard in another bedroom.



"Jamjar's, I can't do this. What if Bottles and the kids find out about what we been doing?"

"Mrs Bottles, I can report to you that your husband and my brother and my grand kids are not going to snoop around and find out about this. Now are you ready to go down...And dirty?"

"Gladly Jamjars."

Conker wanted to listen in some more but decided to follow the girls into his temporarily bedroom. "Conker. Remind me and Chell again on how all of these people know you?" Theodora asked Conker as they walked into there bedroom for the night.



In between two of the beds there was a door that would lead into a very large closet, the closet was filled to the brim with boxes there was also a hand chair and three normal chairs next to it. "Oh sweet a hand chair, I always wanted to sit on one of those!" Theodora could wait, however just before she did Jugga suddenly yelled. "STOP!" Before Theodora could touch the chair. "You must not sit on that chair little girl. I remember a girl who was in a place with giant hands, she stood on one and turned to stone, it's best you don't sit there or else you'll turn to stone just like her." Jugga warned Theodora as she and Conker stood away from it.

"Theodora...I have no idea how I know these people. I ran into them...A lot." Theodora batted an eye to Conker's statement.



Theodora and Conker looked around, Jugga simply smiled. "Oh, an hour has past, it's now 5PM!" She gleefully chipped.

(5PM)

"The party will begin in one hour, me and the host of the party expect you all to come. I guess you are right lit---It's Theodor---Little girl. LOG Isn't coming." Jugga soon left the bedroom, closing the door behind her as Theodora and Conker sat on a bed each. "Good. I want to relax in an hour. Maybe I don't have to go at all, can you two go in my place?" Conker asked Theodora and Chell, Theodora however was focused on something else.

"I'm not sure Conker, something strange is going on. Don't you find it weird that everyone is here for the party except for this Lord of Games guy?"

"No."

Chell meanwhile can go outside or stay with Theodora and Conker and talk about the mystery surrounding the Lord of Games disappearance.

Outside The Castle
Castle: First Floor
Castle: Second Floor

Guests Remaining: 22

[Coolshaymin]

Chell looked up to the chandelier as they walked up to the guest rooms and the... very unstable looking light ornament hang from the ceiling, very precariously as it was easy to not feel safe around it. If that thing fell, it was probably  going to hurt a lot and the quiet girl did not really trust it... Hopefully it did not end up coming true sometime this night... Especially with talk of this oranment's origins being from some creepy house. Yep, that wasn't a strange place to take a light fixture from in the first place.

However, Chell shook out of the thoughts as she looked to the group talking about all the guests being here except one. She looked to the room that was of subject, the library, looked pretty normal, why was she not allowed to... enter... it. The silent girl squinted as she noticed something faint in the carpet. She was very familiar with worn colors from her time in Aperature, and she was able to notice a discoloration in the carpet. Did someone spill something or did something else spill than a drink? She could not tell from this distance, and it might just be her mind messing with her. It was very slight, no one else seemed to notice, she may of only noticed it by focusing more on the environment than the conversation at hand. Regardless, she followed the group to their room, deciding not to give it too much thought.

As they got in, Chell looked to the wall as there were clear sounds of... Was cheating going on in there? Was this Cave Girl and the Scarecrow Conker's only decent friends? She then looked to the hand chair... Turning to stone sure did not sound pleasant of a way of spending her time... So, not even going to tempt the possibility of that. This guest room was also... tiny the girl noticed. Conker is clearly not the most popular around here... in the good sense at least.

Chell walked to the free bed and sat down as Theodora mentioned the oddity of tonight. "No, Conker, she's right, this is weird," Chell began as she looked to the right... There was a door there. Did everyone have those in their rooms? "I've had this weird feeling since we got here. What if LOG did come? Just no one's  seen him?... Except someone might of seen him... I don't know, I just find what the rodent was saying to be weird. And what is up with that door? I don't know, I just have this bad feeling. And I've come to learn that intuition can be the difference between life and death," she added to the other two.

[Deleted]

Theodora and Conker turned towards the door, with the former deciding to open it to calm Chell's fears. She opened the door and found that it was a simple storage closet. She turned back towards Chell to comfort the silent girl. "There's nothing interesting in there Chell. It's just a small room crammed with boxes for some reason. Oh and this mysterious purple cloak that strangely felt like someone quickly hid it here in a rush...Almost like, they were covering up something."



Sinister music played as Theodora closed the door to the room behind her and sat beside Conker on his bed near Chell so the two can talk to the girl, who was suspicious of LOG's disappearance. "What, are you saying, that the same person that could of saw LOG could of done something terrifying to him? Almost like, hurting him really bad that he won't move after a few whacks in the back of the head type of attack or...Stabbed multiple ti---A murder, you think LOG might be hurt or murdered by someone on this island right Chell?"





"Well this is getting interesting."

"How did you do that sound effect. It felt very real."

"Because I didn't."

Theodora and Conker turned towards a window and walk towards it. The two are surprised to see dark clouds slowly advancing towards the island as the sun starts to set. I say that the skies will turn dark just in an hour or so. "I didn't expect a storm to happen tonight." Theodora was surprised, as she waited for the clouds to completely fill up the sky and begin to rain down on the island.

Only for the clouds to complete go around the island and rain around it. The island itself was dry with a large patch of the setting skie just above the island. Theodora and Conker looked up at the sky. "Huh, I guess it will be clear around the island tonight." Conker pointed out. Theodora was more worried about her theory that there could be a killer on the loose.

"Conker, the three of us should be worried, there's a possible killer on the loose. And he or she may have already killed a guest here!" Theodora stated her worry, as a sense of dread started to fill the room. You could even say it was a dread so murderous that people in the room started to get bored.



"So should we get ready for the party in an hour or...?" Theodora wondered what to do now for the rest of the hour before the party.

Chell watched as Theodora opened the door that has had her suspicions. She did not open it due to safety concerns but it seemed it was safe and a normal storage room... But it contained a bloody cape inside of it. Looks like her concern was founded since it was used as a hiding place for something that probably belongs to the victim, LOG. She was hoping she was wrong but you had to trust your instincts and now she had the evidence to back up there was a killing. The girl simply nodded as the duo asked for her reconfirmation of her claim that a murder took place in this mansion. There was no doubt about some death taking place here with that revelation and she was certain where else she wanted to check.

However, that was when thunder sounded and she looked around, wait, this room had windows?... That... made no archetectual sense... Nevermind, looks like a storm was... surrounding the island from the looks of it. Well, that did not matter in the end. What was important is they take care of this murderer before he or she takes care of them. With Conker being of his reputation with the guests here, there was a good chance him and his friends would be a target. They must find clues and reveal who would commit killings in this place. And there was one place she knew of that would be a good place to check for some clues. Not everything could of been cleaned out and that would explain why servants could not enter. They probably had time before the feast given it just turned this hour.

"We are getting ready for the party alright. We find out who is behind this and take them down. The first place to check would be the one no one is allowed to enter. I thought I saw something in the library, so we should check there," Chell suggested, using her mind to come up with a way to survive. Surviving was something she has done well to learn since her time in Aperature science.

It seems Chell wanted to check the study, which she keeps on calling a library for some reason as Conker and Theodora looked at each other, confused. But never the less, Theodora did want to check out the room before the party. "Sure, we can check out the room before the party. I just have to go to the bathroom first, be back in a few minutes." She told Chell and Conker before leaving the room for the bathroom. Conker simply lied back on his bed and closed his eyes. "You can go on without me, i'll start to care if you or Theodora's life is put on the line by this possible killer that's running about. Quite frankly, I don't care if anyone in this castle get's killed by the killer, there all a&&holes anyway." Conker lamented before taking an hour's nap.



Chell could either leave to investigate the study or wake Conker up so he can go with her, but either way. Should she leave, she would be met by two people in the halls, both female, but different species.



One of which was a small bear that appeared to be an age of a child, who was looking at the door to the study. "Let's see what you have in here Panther that your keeping a secret from everyone." The girl said as she reached towards the doorknob. Meanwhile the other woman, who appeared to be around her teens, was standing by the door to the bathroom, the same bathroom Theodora was going to.

Did something happen to her? The only way to find out is through that woman, who looked serious as she checked out the doors to each room.
