a group I guess xD

[Death by Mirrors]

Poor mdom xD I think I still have Glitch tied up somewhere in my basement - do you think one additional person would help?

[KittyBeary]

Exploring the mansion. :D

Put me on team Pumpkin Patch. XD

[Rainbowfox Ari]

The Game is about to begin. I will be allowing each group into my mansion in a staggered pattern throughout the day. Each group will be allowed to choose ONE room to start in, and will be given FOUR 'hint' items to use at their discretion.

You have one whole day to explore your first room, and decide who is going to be your team leader. If, at the end of today, I do not receive a PM from your Team Leader, I will appoint one for you, and PM them.

Your tools can be given to your members, but there is only one of each. This is what they do.

The Crow's Skull knows who was in what room. You may choose time-period, and ask who was in the room you are currently exploring during that time, or you may ask the Skull if a certain person was in a room during the day prior.

The Magnifying Glass can be used by a team to gain more insight and detail from an otherwise cryptic, or non-distinct clue.

The Wallet can be used to bribe an encountered member of my staff to tell you the entire truth about what they remember.

The Bone Treat can call my dobermans to sniff out a hidden or obscured clue, if you simply CANNOT find it on your own.

Each item may only be used once. If a team has less than four members - you may also take the Ghost Lantern, which will provide you with an interesting clue inside a room or area ONCE per room or area.

Additionally, if you can catch my Cheshire Pet in one of the rooms, you may ask him ONE yes-or-no question, to which he must answer truthfully. Careful, however - if you choose to catch him, your team will lose one of your hint items at random. He's a wily sort that loves to collect shiny objects.

These are the four hints I will give you at the start.

My lover always tells the truth. My staff cannot go into my chambers. There are members of my harem that are pathological liars. Not every creature is what it appears - nor every object.

That is all. Have fun, be careful, and DO try not to break anything?

The first group to be allowed access to my mansion will be the Pumpkin Patch. Pumpkin Patch Team, please collaborate on a room in which to start. The Team Leader may be chosen once the investigation is underway. Until that time, you may NOT use your hint items.

- Kitchen
- Ballroom
- Study
- Master Bath [specify upstairs or downstairs]
- Upstairs Entertainment Room
- Upstairs Library
- Upstairs Laboratory
- The Gardens

we need to find Ari right |D that's the end goal...

[Rainbowfox Ari]

Indeed.

[Death by Mirrors]

Do we know if Ari wants to be found? I mean there's food and drink, and wifi :P

[Rainbowfox Ari]

I'd imagine he's not super-fond of being kept in a cage.

[Gallagher]

the wifi is sub-par, too

[Rainbowfox Ari]

This is true. I had not anticipated needing it, therefore I have only installed the rudimentary system. ... I don't believe there is a charge-port there either.

Exactly.

[Rainbowfox Ari]

So, have you decided on your Team Leader, Pumpkin Patch?

[SparX]

There is room for you, yes. Would you like me to sign you up?
