Lovers of mystery,

There still remain a decent number of slots available for my murder mystery!

Applications do close by the end of next month, Scarlatan, however! If you have not applied by then, you will miss your chance entirely. To help those of you on the fence about joining in, I will elaborate on a few aspects now.

The murder mystery will be during (or, if all the participants prefer, slightly before) my Mayaween party on Aeguary, 843, right around Serenade.

It will involve the successful applicants taking part in a story prepared ahead of time, but you will all largely be free to act out your parts as you see fit. You will have a background, you will have relationships established to the other characters, and you will need to solve (or carry out) a murder, but how you do these things is entirely up to you! Think of it as role-playing more than acting.

To solve the mystery, you will need to pay close attention to the others, to the clues provided, and to the environment around you. Needless to say, it will take some degree of thought. Those of you fond of mystery stories should know what to expect on some level.

Those partygoers who do not get accepted will be able to follow along to a limited extent, but they will not be directly involved in either the story or solving the crime - though I imagine some of them will try and solve it among themselves, either way!

Remember, to apply, you need only send me a letter through the Delos messenger boy stating your intent and assurance that you will be here at the scheduled date.

Always,
Maim de Vermiis.


Penned by my hand on the 21st of Miraman, in the year 842 AF.
