MEME: Reverse Questions

[citycouncil]

Muns: Post here listing all of the characters you play (you might want to list journals, too, just for reference) or are thinking of playing.

Everyone: Ask the MUNS anything about the GAME or THEIR PUPS, because we all know the muns will answer when the characters won't. They can be specific questions ("How does he feel about her?") or general questions ("Why did you choose this pup?", "How do you channel them?", etc.) You can even have pups ask the questions, but ANSWERS are coming from the PLAYERS.

For the last time we did this one, check out the tag.

Your entire roster is either attending or infiltrating a fancy dinner party. How is this going for everyone? Maybe there's also a MURDER (what fancy dinner party doesn't have a murder!) and if so which of your hyper competent detectives/otherwise crime-fightin' types gets to the bottom of it first, or do they manage to work together?

First thing's first: Alisaie is infiltrating, because I absolutely love putting her on situations where she's insulted by being called too young for something and then getting the most severe FOMO so she does it anyway. She stands out not because of her size and any failure to properly sneak in, but because she looks uncomfortable in her red cocktail dress. She's much more used to wearing short-shorts and jackets, after all. She's summarily kicked out before any murder (real or otherwise) can take place. When she learns about the murder the next day, the FOMO hits anime-laser-eye levels of extreme.

Larita is either hosting the dinner party or was one of the first to be invited, and she does so in style: sleek mermaid style gown with beautiful jewelry and, as probably predicted, fits right in. "Damn cool in a crisis" though she may be, a crime-fighter she ain't, and so she gives her witness testimony and is a suspect only because she's so cool-headed about the whole thing. She isn't ruled out until the real culprit is found.

Regan and Saoirse attend together. Regan is in a suit and Saoirse is technically infiltrating due to her age, but in a pink babydoll dress and glittery accessories, she fits right in, even when she starts live-streaming the party for her followers on suddengram. Regan's puzzlesolving skills are a huge asset in solving the murder, but Saoirse is only along for the ride for the sake of serving as an ASL translator — and for suddengram. Her followers think it's a game and backseat game the entire time, and a few trolls tell Saoirse to stick to nail polish.

El is happy to attend the party, but when the murder goes down she does her best to help solve it. She doesn't have the head for detective work or puzzlesolving the way some of my others do, but she can be the muscle, so to speak, and helps find the secret passageways that the culprit probably used to be sneaky.

Daisy knows who the killer is sooner than anyone. Between her history as a cop and the Hunt, it's light work, but she refuses to engage because it feels too much like toeing the line she's drawn for herself. She sits in the corner in her suit and drinks and silently judges the people trying to solve the case.

Neve does everything right: she follows leads, she questions witnesses, she makes a murder board in her mind and strings up suspects and testimonies on it. It's only when she needs a sounding board that she partners with Regan (and by extension, Saoirse) to put some pieces together. She's impressed with Regan's attention to detail.

Gwenny infiltrates (because of her age), in plain clothes because she frankly didn't think that far ahead. Being able to see the ghost of the murder victim is less helpful than it usually would be, since they can see the body anyway. Then she remembers the things she's been learning with Dan Torrance about talking with ghosts, and she solves the murder second (after Daisy) because the ghost simply told her who killed them.

Tom doesn't learn about the murder until it hits the papers or the precincts the next day: he bowed out early on account of it being a school night.

And that's only if he's not the victim 👀
