We still watching Clue tonight?

Thanks for clarifying.


By the way, and this is especially for people who are clever in connection-making and solving murder mysteries, Kit has mentioned a box of chocolate several times. Where does it come from? Should we treat it as a clue or a non-clue? Or is she simply trying to make a Forrest Gump-reference reminding us that "Life is like a box of chocolates - You never know what you're gonna get"?

Yeah, as far as the clues go no one was on and Lydia wasn't really with anyone so I just threw out there and bolded them.

Heavens no. Hell Yeah.


Set 1: Nurr | Set 2: Me

I actually think the Horseman gave Kit the chocolate early on. I could be wrong, but I think that's what happened.

^I seem to remember something like that too... but I wasn't sure since I also seemed to remember that Lydia had posted before she actually did.

The guess for October 25th will be pushed back a day. I'm having an emotionally trying night and can't release the clues that have been planned.

^:hug: I am so sorry to hear that, Kit...

I'm sorry, Kit. I hope everything goes as well as is possible....

I hope that whatever it was, is over now Kit and that you are feeling much better. Everything's fine, RL is sometimes more important. You come back and do your clues whenever you feel like it.


SUMMARIES!

[I've clumped all the summaries together, and if Kit could maybe put them on the first page, it might make them easier to see for people]


Saturday 17th

Holly Short was the first guest to appear along with her husband Artemis. She was wearing a black and green dress.

Maeve arrived next. She hopes to write dark and spooky poetry.

Sparkle… erm.. wears sparkly things and sparkles.

Ea arrived wearing lots of black thingies.

The Headless Horseman arrived along with his horse Eliza, cute little tiny pumpkins and lots of apple related edibles.

Kitoky has appointed new staff members. The faithful among us, will be kind enough to purchase <a href="http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/797/image2gw.png" target="_blank">this</a> little item.

[apparently, one of the guests from the first page has wings – whether this was a typo by Kit or I’ve missed it, if someone could confirm… I’m a paranoid clue hunter]


Sunday 18th

The guests discovered the glory of the mansion dining table and all the goodies it held. [Ask The Horseman.. even the paper plates are tasty]

Mist seems to be confused as to how she arrived at the mansion and was an unexpected guest. [INFILTRAITOR! *cough*]

Ea smiles a lot… mischievously.

Dana Steel arrived on a motorbike.

Lots and lots of muffins were eaten. [seriously, if anyone dies after eating one of those muffins we’re all doomed…although technically poisons don’t take that long to act…hmmm..]

Violet Grape is a relative of the deceased Saffron Orange. The latter’s cat Winter, is now owned by Violet and came along with her. [let’s hope it behaves itself this year]

Deria Elacrin owns a notebook.

Psyche Zenobia arrived and was miffed no one paid particular attention to her. Kitoky described her entrance as having festivity.

Ea welcomed a lot of people and also performed duties that were more for the host and servants then a guest.

There are lots of sparkly and glittery people/clothing. (Dana Steel seems to have a supply)

Violet Grape also carries a notebook around with her. Her next book will be called The Kitchen.

Ea is a very … strange character. [scratches head]

Fuschia Rivers and Deria Eclarin have handled swords.

Evening Serenity, Holly Short and Derai Eclarin are musical.

The Headless Horseman almost set fire to his trousers. There is uncertainty who would have been more surprised - him or the guests, had the evil fire succeeded with its mission.

Do NOT come between a certain horse and her cup (or bucket) of tea.


Monday 19th

Several guests expressed an interest in exploring, particularly the gardens.

Ea brought a bag of chestnuts to make chestnut animals. She showed Sparkle and The Headless Horseman how to make them.

There are some glances between Sparkle and The Headless Horseman, that are making him nervous. [but it should silence certain people from last year… you know who you are]

More people joined in making chestnut animals.

Kitoky bounded down the stairs [for some reason imagining this made me fall off my swivel chair] and (hastily) announced that Nurranitel Mashiara had been murdered. Kitoky was checking that everyone was up for the day, and she found Nurrantiel in bed, and when she tried to awake her, Kitoky realised she was dead. A note was found next to the table stand on the floor (possibly the result of a struggle?) reading “Take that”. It appeared to be written on a sheet of paper from a notebook.

There are a lot of people who like at least one “Take That” song. (*cough* me too)

Kitoky recalled Nurrantiel’s pillows were randomly thrown onto her bed.

A party was formed to examine Nurrantiel’s room. Kitoky, Maeve, PD and TT went to explore the room along with who LydiaDeetz offered to photograph any evidence.

Maeve knew Lady Death, a deceased guest from last year.

Nurrantiel had a funny feeling. She felt she should not have returned after what happenend last year. Like a premonition.

Kitoky suggested that Nurrantiel could have been smothered by the pillows as there were no signs of physical injury on her body.

JF’s ponder #1: Take that - An ironic revenge murder for the killing of someone last year by a guest this year? [Maeve and Violet Grape both have connections with previous victims]

JF’s Ponder#2: If the note ended up on the floor and not on the table due to a struggle… would not the killer have placed the note after their victim was deceased?

JF’s Ponder #3: If it’s a revenge killing… aren’t the rest of us safe? [yippee!] Unless someone witnessed Nurrantiel expiring and that person will themselves be bumped off…. if they haven’t already.


Tuesday 20th

Nurranitel chose to be buried under the big freaky oak tree, like the one in Sleepy Hollow. [don’t you need a permit to plant someone in your backyard?]

PD suggested guests explore the attic. TT, Violet, Fuschia and Nurr accompanied her (as well as too many others who tagged along to name).

Kit made a big, big (big I tell ye) fuss about not opening a certain crate in the attic until the 27th or the 28th.

For some reason there was a conversation about eyeballs. [your guess is as good as mine.. personally I prefer them to croutons but there you go]

The Headless Horseman can’t hold his liquor.


Wednesday 21st

Ea was accused of being the murderer but Kit announced that she wasn’t. (Let’s face it, had we chosen correctly first time round, we’d have all expired from the shock so I say it was a good thing we were wrong)

Kit suggested the gardens should be explored. The fountain with the naked cherub is new. A unicorn would have been preferred. [And I could think of other things to have naked in a fountain… but that’s another story]

Kit wanted to show the guests her wildflowers. Lydia and Evening were dead amongst the flowers. There was an unusual dead spider found on Lydia.

PD suggested the spider bit them both and that’s how they died.

Kitty arrived very late to the party.

Maeve reminded people that there was a fuss over spiders in connection with the exploration of the attic.

The wildflowers were imported from New Zealand and Australia. Kit thinks New Zealand is part of Australia.


Thursday 22nd

Kit suggested that a headquarters be established so meetings can be held to discuss the murders. Somewhere discreet and ninja-y.

Evening remembered coming across the murderer of Lydia in the process of doing the dirty deed with the help of a Black Widow spider. The killer wore a hood and gloves for when touching the spider and noticing Evening, the killer turned the spider on her, and she died. Evening thought the murderer seemed irked by handling the spider.

Susy suggested looking under the staircase for a secret headquarters.

Evening found a secret room under the stairs and using her ghostly powers, pulled a lever to let the mortals in through the secret door.

The Horseman and TT had a fascinating conversation about the temper of Hostess Kit.

Something… odd is occurring between the Horseman and Sparkle.

Somehow The Horseman, PD and TT got into a LOST discussion which included lively arguments, fangirling from the female members and the mention of The Horseman’s cousin Antoinette.

[remember folks… S is for “mathS”]


Friday 23rd

Lydia remembered being in the garden when someone put a spider on her neck, and she also saw Evening approaching.

Guests decided on who to accuse next as the murderer. Psyche Zenobia accused Violet Grape and Kit revealed that Violet was not the killer.


Saturday 24th

Kit announced it would be Trick or Treat (in The Horseman’s words, it’s the time when you lock everything precious to you in Fort Knox and you sit in the dark with a blunderbuss… waiting).

Kit lead a party to the fancy dress wardrobe in the attic. Kit was wearing her now famous Burger King costume. Kitty wore an Obi Wan Kenobi outfit, Violet a pumpkin, Ea a human (???), Susy a taco and the Horseman found a nifty sombrero.


Ok, we have to start discussing things:

1) Does the killer not like spiders (hence being irked) or is it just someone who knows how dangerous they are? [shorter lists of suspects if the former is correct.... massive list if it's the latter]

2) Am I obsessing about Kit's choice of words when she described the headquarters as needing to be *ninja-y* when in Kitty Siggertson's profile she says: so basically she's pretty much a ninja. Her profile also states that she is an FBI agent.... she could be a bent agent.... BUT she only arrived at the time Lydia and Evening were murdered... how did she kill Nurr? Are we looking at 2 murderers, working unknown to one another?

Talk people!

BTW, I want to see 100 mansion pages by the end of the Hallowfest... you know you're duty soldier!

Hmm, maybe TT was worried about Kit's temper because she's the murder and she doesn't want Kit to kill her is she's expose. My lame theory for the night.

^ By me and my SS *squiggle hugs*

1) Well, if the killer was visibly irked by the spiders, then I would say it was someone who disliked spiders. I still think it's a strange way for someone who dislikes spiders to kill someone else, but if Lydia was out in the garden looking for spiders, a black widow might just have been on hand.

2) It's something to think about... Ninja-y isn't a very common adjective.

It may be noted that TT dislikes spiders, and is a university student, and therefore very likely to own a notebook. (A binder, instead of a writing pad.)

Hmm...interesting. I hadn't taken my TT theory that far yet. That is something to think about.

Concerning the clues:
I still think the black widow-clue is very obvious, but I believe it's an important clue somehow.

JF, the idea of two killers is interesting. I introduced the idea last year and I almost hope that it's true just because when we guess one killer we've still got another mystery to solve.
And remember, anyone who has signed up for the Hallowfest, even though they haven't posted, may be the killer.

I'm still leaning towards The Headless Horseman.
It's a feeling I have...

I'm leaning towards the Headless Horseman too. Especially since she just introduced one random clue which everyone picked up (and that took the heat off of her.) Coincidence?
