Murder at Scrimshaw Manor Interrogation Thread | #1 | |
Whodunit?! By now you've had some time to catch up on what's going on over in Scrimshaw Manor. The surviving guests are cooperating, for now. Here is your chance to ask them questions. After a time, the questions will be selected and condensed and they will give their statements and answers. This will update as events develop within the story. Just remember that not every character will be telling the truth.... Now the characters do have things to do, so you may only ask Three questions each round. Follow this simple profile: Quote:

And yes, if she left me, there would be...difficulties, in the business. She would get technically half of all that I owned, which would include portions of the farms as well as assets and wealth. Which is why I have been working to repair and tend to our relationship. She means a lot to me, and I wanted us to enjoy our wealth together. And yes, both Giselle and I were entertained by The Lady Scrimshaw and the other guests after we arrived. Once we were welcomed through the front door, we were in the presence of everyone else until dinner was served, save for Alabaster. Quote:
Yeah I do! I was crying over me poor wife! What the hell is that supposed to mean? I ain't the one who stabbed her if that's what you're trying to say! Everyone left the cellar, I er, stayed behind with my wife. I'm still broken up about all of this! It wasn't me!

Lady Agatha Scrimshaw Quote:

Ahem, well, if you must know...you dare not breathe it to a single soul, but my metabolism is simply not what it used to be. I have spoken to several doctors while Alabaster is away on business for me, and I have been recommended a much leaner diet. A much leaner diet. I cannot say I am happy about it, as I am used to enjoying as much as I wish, but I also have my figure and standards to consider. As to why Alabaster would proffer it to me, well...where Lord Treylbach was seated was where I would usually sit at the dinner table while entertaining guests. However, tonight I decided I would proffer the seat to him as my guest of honor, as he is...I'm sorry, was a respected member of our community. This most likely confused Alabaster. The man has become so distracted that he has made a model setup of the seating arrangement in the kitchen so he could plan out where each meal would go, but it would not have taken in to account the seating change for tonight. Hence, why he offered me those...thick, juicy cuts of meat. Oh, yes. I'm sorry, I was rather distracted. But yes, I have recently been cutting back and have had to remind Alabaster somewhat bluntly about my restrictions. And as to the others' meals, they were all served the same meal. The leaner cuts were, sadly, just for me. Quote:
As far as his plans for regulation, well...he would need the support of the nobles, specifically me. Without me, there is no way he would be able to rally the rest to help him. I don't mean to brag, but I'm sure he saw me as the key to his success, and many others most likely saw the same. I do think he meant to attempt to gain my support tonight over dinner, although any polite person knows that you do not discuss business over a pleasurable meal. Now that he's gone, I'm sure the matter will evaporate though. It's almost a shame really. He did keep the peasants away from our affairs, even if he was annoying. A necessary nuisance, if you will.

I returned to my room to compose myself and to calm my nerves. Alabaster assisted me back to my chambers, as I have felt ill since all of this...this mess of an evening.

Captain Commander Igglethorpe Bosney Quote:
Quote:
We haven't spoken recently, but I did hear the rumors. Dervy has had alibis for all of the things we've been looking in to, but Isabelle...well, she was known for getting her hands dirty for money. It wouldn't be below her to have her boys roughing someone up or causing an 'accident' for a spot of cash. I had meant to ask her tonight, if it came up. I guess I never will now though.

As you finish the question, there is a swirl of color as your words become power manifest. They disappear from you, riding backwards along the currents of time. You wait a brief moment before there is a rushing torrent of sound, the only acknowledgement of the fabric of space and time ripped asunder to float in tatters on the wind of change. Your words twist around and carry forward once more, bringing with them an answer. It sounds so cruel when you put it like that. I went for a stroll around the manor. No, I do not have an alibi. When I want to not be found, I am not found. However, as much as I detest Giselle's lifestyle, I would not murder her. Poor thing had enough sorrow to look forward to in life.

Alabaster Manstrode Quote:

Quote:
Of course, The Lady Scrimshaw received a wonderful education in many fields while growing up. Her library contains a plethora of books that cover the fields of medicinal remedies and alchemy, as well as compounding. I've poured over a few myself to assist her when she has been sick, to keep her from the prying eyes of the common doctors of Finch's Hollow. However, my knowledge is only basic at best. I do have a lot of experience with the, er, drug of the night, but only from personal use. Too much of it can really cause adverse affects, even death. I hate to say it, but it's one of the reasons I am so, well, shoddy with my current attentions to The Lady Scrimshaw. I would say the both of us have passable, general knowledge on the subject of medicines. Quote:
Quote:
Obviously, I have full confidence that my Lady Scrimshaw is not the murderer you seek, but you must know that of course I would say that. At this point, I almost wonder if I am somehow the unwitting murderer. I must say, a lot of the evidence does point at me. I would have complete control over the meals, I could have easily lied about stepping away from the kitchen. I'm afraid to say I really don't have much of an alibi to clear me of the crime. This must be absolutely dreadful for you. I'm sorry that I couldn't be of more assistance. Quote:
I was in the process of getting things ready when I began experiencing chest pains. I took one of the service halls to my quarters to pick up more medicine, and spent quite a time rather tearing my room apart looking for the rest. Apparently I've forgot to replace my usual stock. I came back to the kitchen to double check if I had overlooked my bottle, and that's when I noticed the broken bottle and spilled wine on the staircase, which led me to poor Giselle. I hope it was quick for the poor girl, I feel just dreadful about this whole evening. Quote:
Quote:
As far as having it memorized? I suppose the Lady Scrimshaw would, as she does own the estate. However it is clearly labeled and has multiple sections with directions all about to help new hires navigate, so even a complete stranger could find their way around with ease if they wished.

Who do you ask: Dervy Tavish
The Question to ask them: Before Treylbach untimely death, he wanted to discuss something about the possibility of businesses not allowed to run rampant. You became heated about this and make an accusation that he was accusing you of something. What did you think he was accusing you of?

Who do you ask: Lady Isabelle Molatto
The Question to ask them: Everyone at this dinner has a bottle of laudanum on their person, but yours is the only one that's nearly empty. What do you take the medicine for, and why is most of yours gone? | ||||

Since this round is nearly over, I'm using up my last two questions:
Who do you ask: Captain Commander Igglethorpe Bosney The Question to ask them: As an officer of the law, what are your thoughts on the murder, and who do you most heavily suspect? Who do you ask: Giselle Tavish The Question to ask them: You seemed to be very quiet during the dinner. What are your thoughts on what happened, and how are you feeling now? | ||||
