Minvitational 5 - The Inheritance

[mole]

bwahaha. fooled you all!

[Phoebus]

One week later:

RAT-A-TAT-TAT!

"Ah! Good morning Mr. Grabbit. Do come in. You're nice and punctual as usual. Would you like to join us at breakfast?"

"Good morning Master Quinn. No thank you. You see, I have some business to attend to in London this afternoon, and I must runn - as soon as we're done with the formalities here."

"But ofcourse! Let's go to the study right away. "

"I believe last week's reading was satisfactory? Ghastly business all that."

"Hmm. True, true. But with all that happened and me being the only one left, there were no hassles, eh?"

"Quite."

"Oh and as to my own will, I'm leaving all I have to Jean..."

"Tut tut, Master Quinn! Let's not be indiscrete, shall we? Walls have ears and doors eyes. Let's go to your study and we'll put things in order."

"Mais oui! Why not? By the way, did you hear? We're going to Aruba for the honeymoon."

Final Curtain

[Phoebus]

The Cast:

Everyone, take a bow. Thank you all for playing.

Dame Phoebe Hunter - Already deceased rich old woman and convenient alter ego of the mod.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fishbulb

-

Paul Hunter

- the young charming jackanapes of a grandson with the fast car.

Kerplunk

-

Mrs. Moone

- the cook, a middle aged spinster, looking for love. Falls for the charmer and becomes his partner in crime.

Mafia team one. They could only kill on odd nights only. Were not aware of this, unless deduced.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stewie

(big_kahunia/Yoko Kurama)

-

Ray Summers

Thoth

-

Summer Summers

The greedy siblings. Grandchildren on the daughter's side.

Mafia team two. They could only kill on even nights. Were not aware of this, unless deduced.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

mole

-

Harley Quinn

- the Godson. Fairly nice chap with a good heart but of the nosy sort.

Insane cop. Could check someone's room per night and would be told if they appeared innoncent or guilty.

Tigris

-

Rose Thorne

- The nosy niece. Fairly a gold digger but with so few relations, what can one do?

Insane cop. Could check someone's room per night and would be told if they appeared innoncent or guilty.

Talitha

-

Hamworth

- The butler. Fiercely loyal and with access to all the house.

Paranoid cop. Was told she could snoop in someone's room within 12 hours of the night scene. The time limit was something I cooked up while I was writing the PM. The flavour mentioned the butler snooping but a good butler would never do that. So, between dinner and drinks, she could snoop through stuff. Got a guilty result every time. Paranoid due to intense loyalty to dead mistress and was sure everyone was a gold digger.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mgm

-

Doctor Kent

- Local MD and the Dame's doctor.
Was a beneficiary and tried to do his duty at the same time.

Regular doctor

Norinel

-

Nurse White

- Basically an attendant and trained in first aid an such.

Doctor with 50% (coin flip) chance of success

Candice

-

Little Tommy

- Orphaned by the war, adopted by the old lady.

Spook.
Great ambitions about becoming a doctor, but one can't do much at the age of 10, eh? Everyone used to play along in his games though and he believed in himself. The games continued even after the old lady died.

Incompetent but would be told she protected her target successfully and the target is told they survived an attack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JereIC

(Rick)

-

Inspector Black

- Local Inspector

Townie.
Red herring as far as claiming was concerned.

Quailman

-

Diana Hunter

- granddaughter

Townie. Dutiful grandchild. Not necessarily doting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And there you have it.
Thanks to MeMe for having gone over the setup once.
I hope you enjoyed it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first half with the daisy chain and also enjoyed making the names up. Cookies for anyone who guesses the underlying theme with the majority of the names.
And I had mentioned not to go too deep into flavour. The role claims were...interesting.
Thank you all again.

Comments? Suggestions? Brickbats? Bouquets?
All welcome.

[Stewie]

Yeah... That's why it's not good to replace scum... And I would like to know where you got the names from. I used a random name generator (couldn't claim my actual name since I had same last name as Thoth) and then googled for the name until I got an actually existant name. Then made up role. Took me about 1 hour. I should have spent more, apparently.

There wasn't much space for claiming either. I couldn't claim cop because they all came out day one. I couldn't claim doc because they had also all come out. I could have claimed vigi -- but I couldn't come up with a proffesion.

Well, I tried.

[Phoebus]

Well, with reasons given for dropping out, I had no choice as far as replacement goes...
I might as well have closed up shop if I needed to modkill instead of replace.

The names? There is a link among the names of the family. Find it. It might be obscure. But still...
The others? Oh well...fermented from years of reading Agatha Christie.

[JereIC]

Whew. I really was nearly convinced that mole was another killer in the end game discussion there. Stewie, I've got to sympathize, I've replaced scum before and it's always difficult to figure out what to say about the guy you replace. I think you did a pretty good job though, and I wouldn't have voted for you except by the process of elimination.

[Kerplunk]

Thanks for the very sweet game, Phoebus! Too bad I was a little too busy with other things so that I couldn't really come up with a good roleclaim. Congratulations to the town.

I thought the copchain at day 1 was so sweet. It was very nice to be able to argue that the cops should investigate themselves again to figure out the sanity, without causing too much suspicion.

By the way, I hadn't figured out the odd-night-kill-only restriction. I like it, simple yet puzzling.

[big_kahunia]

thanks Phoebus!!!!!!!

I had this weird hunch that the mafia teams altered kills. Good job Stewie. It is tough to replace mafia as you said. Nice set up Phoebus. So what is your next modding project?

[Phoebus]

My next project...wait and see.

No one guessed the naming convention
I suppose it was too obscure. Never mind then.
