Oh, how mysterious! Five of your original characters have been anonymously invited to a dinner party held by a host none of them have ever met, at some mansion none of them have ever heard of. Sounds like a fun time, right?
If your OCs have any powers or special abilities that would permit them to sense or avoid getting attacked and/or killed by our murderer, I'm afraid upon entering the mansion they have all been disabled. No avoiding this one, kids.
Ready to begin?
1. First, choose five of your OC's to be invited to the mansion and to partake in the horror!
[1] Grimm Reaper
[2] Raggdoll
[3] Omi (A demon OC of mine. Not part of The Stitchez)
[4] Edaniel
[5] Willow (Undertale OC)
2. How fun! Alright, your OCs have finished getting all dressed up for the big event and are ready to go to the party. How is [Raggdoll] feeling about all of this?
Raggdoll is wearing a tuxedo and a top hat with red highlights. He's not looking forward to the party, due to having many tasks at hand. Being the leader is not easy, as there are many things to do, but he had been convinced to take the time off and have a small 'holiday'. In conclusion, he's honestly not looking forward to it.
3. Whoops, no time for that! Looks like we've already arrived! The mansion is a large, foreboding building set on top of a hill. As it so happens, it's near pitch black out and raining hard. Your characters hurry to get to the door. [Omi] gets there first and tries to knock, but before they can, the door opens up, revealing a tall, well-dressed man with a crooked grin. How does [Omi] react?
"Uuh... Greetings, sir" the very tall demon bows, his long stripy tail swaying. "I believe that you are the one who invited us 5?"
4. The man welcomes our guests inside the mansion, and, with barely any time to catch their breath, ushers them into the dining room. Everyone is given assigned seats: [Grimm Reaper] and [Edaniel] sit on the left side of the table, [Omi] sits on the end, [Willow] and [Raggdoll] sit on the right side, and the host takes the remaining spot at the other end. How does everyone feel about these seats? Are there any arguments over it, or does it seem fitting?
Grimm is happy to sit with Edaniel, but Edaniel seems somewhat nervous. He always seemed nervous around Grimm for some reason.
Omi has to sit in an awkward position due to having long legs. He's fine with it though.
Willow and Raggdoll, however, sit in awkward silence. They have never met before and they seem to be complete opposites - Willow being small, human and shy and Raggdoll being tall, bulky and mysterious. The shadows seem to be covering Raggdoll the most.
5. Well, regardless if they're happy with it or not, the host begins the feast and welcomes his guests. He explains that he's invited them all to this party because he is new in town, and he decided that holding a social event like this would help him to make some friends! Does [Edaniel] buy their story, or do they think there's something more to this gentleman? Do they try to convince any of their fellow guests of their feelings?
Edaniel seems oblivious about... well, everything. Food being poisoned? Eh. Mysterious chats? Whatevs. Holding a knife? He can handle it.
6. The dinner continues, but throughout it, the host seems to get a little too comfortable with talking to [Raggdoll] and begins to flirt. He attempts to reach across the table to hold their hand several times. How does [Raggdoll] feel about this? How do they react?
"Mate. I literally have claws. I could stab you" he said gruffly. "So stop f*ckin flirtin and find someone your own age"
7. Meanwhile, [Willow], [Omi], and [Grimm Reaper] are engaged in conversation. What are they discussing? How do each of them view their host?
Willow seems happy to talk to Omi and Grimm. She presumed Omi was a monster, so she thought that this was a nice chat. Grimm was friendly enough, wearing sunglasses to cover the mysteries behind his eyes and smiling happily.
8. Dinner is over, and your guests are all (presumably) happy and have full bellies! They thank their host and begin to leave, when it becomes apparent that the storm has gotten much, much worse. Whether they like it or not, it is agreed it would be best if your guests wait out the storm at the mansion. The host kindly offers to let your characters stay the night; he has enough rooms for everyone! How does [Grimm Reaper] feel about this decision? Would they rather risk the storm, or keep it safe?
"I could literally teleport all of us out, but this seems fun! Let's keep at it!
9. The host divides a set of three room keys between the guests: one for [Grimm Reaper] and [Omi], one for [Edaniel] and [Willow], and one for [Raggdoll], still showing his favoritism. The guests each disperse to their respective rooms. Upon entering their room, [Edaniel] and [Willow] realize there is only one queen bed in the room. How do they react to this? Does one of them force the other to sleep elsewhere, or are they fine with the arrangements?
Since Edaniel is smaller than an adult cat, they end up sleeping together. Edaniel ends up curling up next to Willow, as animals seem to like her.
10. Everyone eventually settles in to spend the night, but before they can drift off, there is a horrified scream down the hall! The characters rush out of their room to see what's happened, and find their host staring, horrified, into [Raggdoll]'s room. Upon entering the room, they find that [Raggdoll] has dropped dead. What happens next?
Grimm stares blankly at what has happened. He stays silent. Then he spoke up. "I did not do this"
Willow is scared and has gone even paler than she was before.
Edaniel is freaking out.
Omi acts as if this is normal.
11. Once the panic settles a bit, the host explains that he'd been going to check on [Raggdoll] and found the door open. Upon seeing [Raggdoll] fallen dead, he'd screamed. What does [Willow] think of their story?
Willow has now turned into a sleuth. There had to be a reason why Raggdoll had suddenly dropped dead. She thinks hard. The only person who could possibly have done it would have been the mysterious man who had invited them in the first place.
12. The characters exchange ideas on how [Raggdoll] may have died. [Raggdoll] has no visible wounds, and he/she doesn't appear to have been strangled. It is agreed that without any medical staff, they are unable to determine the true reasoning behind their death. [Omi] goes to contact the police, but with the raging storm outside, the phone lines are dead. The host, though heartbroken, tries to calm everyone down and urges them back to bed. There is nothing to do until the storm passes, right? Everyone returns to their rooms, but can everyone necessarily fall asleep after that tragedy?
Grimm usually doesn't sleep, so he just stayed awake, wondering the room silently, so as not to wake up his room mate. Omi had curled his tail around the curtain rod and was sleeping in the moonlight. The lightning didn't seem to wake him up.
Willow and Edaniel are too scared to move.
13. After a few hours, [Edaniel] gets up to use the bathroom. They head outside of their room and begin down the stairs, but are met with a horrible sight - [Grimm] is laying at the bottom of the stairs, bleeding! A butcher knife is sticking out of their back, and from all the blood around, it's clear this happened a while ago. What does [Edaniel] do?
Edaniel would start panicking, then scream, running down the hall.
14. Eventually everyone's gathered together at the site, and it's becoming clear that [Raggdoll]'s death may not have been a simple tragedy at all… Who is beginning to panic the most?
Willow is panicking the most. She didn't want to die. Things would be tragic if everyone else died as well!
15. The host urges everyone to calm down, but of course, it is difficult for our guests to agree. It would seem a murderer is among them, and they have no way out! Everyone's a suspect. Who offers to take the position of detective, and why?
Omi decides to be the detective, due to him knowing a lot about death.
16. Yes, yes, that's all well and good and all, but we don't have time for that. Everyone insists that they are not the murderer, and the host suggests that it is an entirely different intruder altogether! He splits the guests up to search the mansion - which really does seem like a terrible idea - and the hunt for clues and killers begins! How is [Willow] holding up?
Willow is crying now. She had a fear of death and didn't want things to get hairy.
17. Everybody is on their own now, and as the storm continues to rage outside, the tension between guests grows. They search throughout the house, but there is no sign of anybody breaking in or any clues to who dunnit. Who does [Edaniel] suspect the killer is and why?
Edaniel WAS suspecting the host, but is now suspecting the demon. Demons were dangerous and could snap at any moment
18. Oh, dear. While [Edaniel] was busy guessing the culprit, it would seem another blood-curling scream has echoed through the building! The guests rush to the scene to find [Willow] has been bludgeoned in the head and is now dead! Now all those who are left are [Omi], [Edaniel], and the host. How does [Omi] react to seeing the deceased [Willow]?
Omi seems disappointed that the human who had taken interest in her was now dead. He sighs and looks around, continuing to investigate.
19. Oh, truly heart-breaking… But not that it really matters much to them, right? [Omi] pulls out a pistol and shoots the host through the head.
[Edaniel]'s reaction?
Edaniel looks shocked. "W... What?!" Edaniel was right about suspecting Omi. Omi was the killer!
20. Yes, so the truth comes out. [Omi] was the killer all along. Tell [Edaniel] through your final villain monologue, [Omi], why did you do it?
"It didn't have to come down to this" Omi said softly, twirling the pistol and approaching Edaniel. Edaniel backed up slowly, his little black ears pinned back. "But it did. If the host didn't get in the way, I would have killed people without people finding out, but... There was no point in that, now was there?" Omi grinned. "Especially when it's more fun with blood"
21. And now that that's done, there's only one thing left to do, right? [Omi] lifts their pistol to finish off the final guest. Well, [Edaniel]? Any last words to spit at your betrayer?
"I knew I shouldn't have trusted you, demon" Edaniel hissed. If only he could use his powers...
22. How very noble. [Omi] pulls the trigger.
…Oh. It would seem someone's all out of bullets. Well, that wasn't very bright of them at all, was it? What does [Edaniel] do in this lucky moment?
Edaniel quickly runs out of the room.
23. Wait, wait, wait, [Edaniel]! There's something important you need to know first! It wasn't [Omi] at all! That's right. [Omi]'s no murderer! It was really… a prank!
The host stands up and the rest of the guests come out, perfectly alive and healthy. It was all just to mess with you! All in good fun!
What's your response, [Edaniel]?
"Hah. Hah. Hah. I hate you all. I bet it was Grimm's idea!
24. Well, that's the end of the story! I do hope you enjoyed this meme, and thank you very much for playing! :D Take this space to tag someone (if you'd like!), or you can give us some inner monologue of [Edaniel]'s final thoughts on all this!
Edaniel eventually forgave everyone (With a lot of convincing from Willow). Things were now back to normal.
