Oh my god I'm so sorry. There was this giant family emergency and I have a post written but I haven't gotten the chance to edit. I'll try and get it in by Sunday if I can find a relative with internet.

Storybook: Clue: Heathermire Hall
The Challenge: Round one depicts the events leading up to the murder. Roughly, the chronology is this:
1) Guests drive up the mountain and are ushered in by the butler. There’s a chained doggy guarding the gate if you want to mention him; otherwise, descriptions and the like are up to you! Mr. Krome’s a well-traveled man, and he’s likely to have whatever you can imagine in his Hall.
2) Guests mingle in the living room
3) Mr. Krome invites them to dinner
4) After dinner, Mr. Krome and guests mingle in the billiard room
5) Meanwhile, the weather is steadily getting worse. The last poster of the round, if they so choose, can end their post with the power-outage. No murder yet!
Those events should occur gradually and relatively chronologically over the course of the round. Don’t spit everything out in one post.

Naturally, there’s going to be ample time for character introductions. This round, I challenge you to write about your character meeting or having an interaction with the following character assigned to you:

ty7lucky → Prof. Pecan; ElizabethLovelace → Mr. Mauve; Craz → Miss Blue; Persistence → Ms. Zinnia; Steggy → Miss Moss; Falconer → Ms. Mercury; AstralHunter → Dr. Vermillion; Dreamery → Mr. Blanche; Sacredlege → Ms. Canary; Megrim → Mr. Crow

Completion Time: One month; one post
Credits Awarded: Four points are possible - one for simply posting, and two for completing the interaction with your assigned character. You can get one extra point for writing a post of at least 500 words.

The challenge has expired, but that doesn't necessarily mean the round is over yet. Congratulations to everyone who completed it!
But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Really nice post, Elizabeth! The only thing is that bang at the end. Was that supposed to be the gunshot? Mr. Krome will be shot in the billiard room, where the gun in the glass cabinet is kept and everyone, minus the butler, is present. If it wasn't supposed to be a gunshot then you're all good.

Remember to ask your alibi question! @Dreamy, will you be posting this round?

Nope. I meant it as the dining room doors banging open as all the guests exited quickly out of the awkward dining room situation. My apologies if that caused any confusion.
Also @Craz are you the alibi of Miss Moss?

The first post of the second round will be out in the next few days, and y'all will receive your assigned Partners in Crime!

If your PIC isn't currently active on YWS to share information with you, shoot me a PM and I can give you the information they would have.

some of you might also be receiving hints for certain posting achievements

@Wolfical, will your second post be published before Saturday? I have ten posts left to complete the CC, so I have made peace with the fact that, in order to write that many posts, my average post length will have to be reduced to the minimum requirement for now. (My post quality will remain unaffected, if I can help it.) Having said that, I just need to find ten opportunities to write said posts, so I was just wondering if I should start thinking of a post for Mr Blanche.

Yes! I can get it out by tomorrow. If you can't get to 500 words, that's alright. You just won't get the extra challenge credit.

Yay! Thank you, Wolfie! Five hundred words is easily attainable, so that shouldn't be a problem. ^_^

Posted! Sorry if it wasn’t my best. I got home later than I expected (@AstralHunter ;) ), so I’m awfully tired and I barely proofread it.

Now it’s time to release the PIC pairings!

Drumroll, please.

..
.

PICs


@Falconer & @ElizabethLovelace
@Sacredlege & @Steggy
@Megrim & @ty7lucky
@AstralHunter & @Dreamery
@Persistence & @Craz

With this person, you can share all knowledge, hints, strategies, and suspicions, working together to find out who murdered Mr. Krome. From now on, it might be wise to converse with your PIC before asking an alibi question.

Report back to the DT once you and your PIC have decided on a team name! ;D

@astralhunter so I was reading through all the new posts, and while I loved your description of Monsieur Crow, Astral, unfortunately the man is vegetarian (weird I know) so would you prefer I change my own tangential detail, or would it be fine if you changed that part of your post? Sorry.
