*coughs and hacks* AHHHHHH

Working on four things at once is, unsurprisingly, leaving me with four started but incomplete works. XD I'm rethinking the strategy.

My score card looks more chaotic than ever, but I have finally decided on what to ask next! @Megrim, are you the alibi of Ms Mercury?

Triple posting to get attention.

Are you working on a post, Hunter? d:

The... post has been done for some time already. *checks* Ugh, I have forgotten multiple times in the past just to click "submit". Well. Sorry about that! I'm working at the crystal store, and the post is on my PC, so I'm hoping it's autosaved. Then I can post it for real.

EDIT: Yes, it worked! The post is up. The quality is meh, but it's better than nothing.

I wondered if that was the case! Fabulous post, Hunter! The quality is certainly there.

Have you gotten a reply from Megrim yet? I haven't seen them around in a while.

Looks like I'll be posting next, and whoever is still in this to win it can afterward continue posting and guessing! We still have the maid to kill, yes? And any other unfortunate being that steps up to the Heathermire Hall threshold.

Nope, no response yet. Still, round four will be interesting. Oh, but the maid is already dead. Gloria the cook is still alive, and the delivery person still has to arrive before they can die. The characters whose authors have left wont be killed as well, right? That would throw a spanner in the works of the plot in general; it was discussed at some point, but never resolved (I think).

Ohhhh it's been a while. I was thinking it was the dead cook in the fridge. Probably because fridge = kitchen= cook. She's still open for kills, in that case!

Right, no killing the criminals for plot reasons.

When I get home, I'll send you what should be Megrim's answer.

I think some of the food in the fridge must have moulded and mutated somehow, causing a deadly disease to spread through the manor and killing the characters. Eventually, it must have become meta and affected their authors too. O_o

Looks like it! D: And I never sent you that PM, whoops.

Is anyone still up for this? Because if so and if you've already posted during this brief round I can write up a post shortly.

As long as at least one person besides the two of us pokes @Sacredlege is still willing to post here, it counts as an active SB and we can proceed. I must solve the riddle! (Or at least be beaten to it.)

I think it's time.

You won't be penalized for getting it wrong. (Unlimited guesses!)

Whodunnit? And out of curiosity if you still have your notes, who have you narrowed it down to?

Aww, okay. XD

I do still have my notes!


And that's it! If the SB had persisted a few rounds longer, I would have been able to deduce whether Dr Canary's alibi was Ms Zinnia based off Sacredlege's continued requests or lack thereof. However, since Sacredlege only asked once whether Dr Canary was Mr Crow's alibi and then proceeded to determine for whom Ms Zinnia was the alibi (good gosh, I've never used "alibi" this much before XD), that will be my next question:

@Wolfical, is Craz (Dr Canary) the alibi of Sacredlege (Mr Crow)?



Is Falconer (Mr Mauve) the alibi of LadyLizzLovelace (Ms Zinnia), and is Megrim (Prof. Pecan) the alibi of Persistence (Miss Moss)?


PS: To the others, please don't use my notes to crash the party. XD

Here is the exact version of my scorecard at the moment. Excuse the chaos. (Yes, I kept track of who asked what on which turns.)
