You're out with your friends one night doing nothing particularly special. That is until something serious happens, something deadly serious. That night, you find a body beside an old London canal. It's a girl you know named Suzanne Amelie, but the others are completely oblivious to the fact that you do, in fact, know her. You can't let the others know that you knew her though; they may believe that you know more than you're letting on.
What you don't know though is that someone actually does know more than their letting on. Someone in your group of friends that was there that night is a murderer, and that person is responsible for Suzanne Amelie's death. As people's history with the girl unravels, will the murderer be revealed? Or maybe knowing isn't such a good idea... The murderer doesn't want anyone finding out the truth, after all.
The Basics
This SB is set in modern day London. I suppose you could say that this is similar to Cluedo. It involves a murderer and six innocents, all of which, including the murderer, are friends. Can you discover who the murderer is before they strike again? Or if you are the murderer, how long can you keep it a secret?
Throughout the SB, you will be allowed to guess who the murderer is. If you want to make a guess, you send me a PM telling me who you think it is. If you are correct, I will let you know. You will then have the privilege to be crowned as The-Person-Who-Lets-Everyone-Else-Know-Who-The-Murderer-Is, A.K.A. Your character will be the one to reveal who the murderer is. Dramatically, of course.
Please can you not guess at the beginning of the storybook though, otherwise, it will end after ten pages or something. Don't start making guesses until we're deep enough into the plot, please.
The Girl
Each one of you know Suzanne Amelie somehow. You may know her well, but you may only know her a little. Whatever happens though, you know her somehow. None of your friends know that you know this though. If you are her ex boyfriend, for example, none of the other characters know this. You intend to keep it that way too. If anyone knows that you know Suzanne, they could easily start pointing the finger.
The Murderer
Only the murderer will know who the murderer is. The other characters, including the people who play them, will not know. I will send a PM to the person playing the murderer, who will mostly be picked out of randomness. If I contact you about being the murderer, but you do not wish to be, let me know and I will change it. The murderer has a bit of a challenge because you need to be careful not to make it obvious that you're the murderer, but at the same time, don't just have your character act entirely obliviously about the fact they're a murderer.
You
How will you cope with all of this? Will you try and forget what has happened, and try to shrug it off? Will it constantly be on your mind? Will it even send you into insanity? Each one of you has a motive for killing Suzanne, some big and some small. Due to others not aware of the fact that you know her, none of the others suspect you of a motive. Not at the beginning, anyway. A motive makes sure that not one person is singled out as the murderer. If you're Suzanne's school friend, for example, perhaps she used to bully you and you couldn't take it anymore.
