[ he's going to keep walking along the tracks but at a slow pace. ]

I've been watching the movements and interactions of the families. There's a lot of secrecy I'm guessing because some people still think whatever this is is a game. I need to know if things go bad which Families are going to potentially group up if they feel threatened. Siren and Forge having a sleepover was the biggest giveaway— I've been trying to figure out the connection. Siren attributes all get togethers as your doing, so if you are inviting a Family over for this sort of thing, you must know a few people and be decent friends with at least one. I haven't seen Siren do this with any other Family yet.

...But, I only knew about the get together because the Showmaster made us all drop everything and half of you were very clearly mid-routine. [ he chuckles. ] It was kinda cute on some level or would have been if I wasn't in such a bad mood.

In all honesty, though? I would say you didn't give yourself away at all. Like I said, you're very good at collecting information while offering very little about yourself. But the explanation just fits too nicely. Could have been easily wrong, but it had the highest percentage all other things equal, and I'm trained to never ignore the odds.

[ Sam is quiet for some moments before sighing. ] ...Ah, I see. Sorry for prying.

…You are not wrong. The sleepover was my doing. There is in fact someone I am rather fond of there and two others I know.

I have not hosted another inter family exclusive event yet. However, I am already planning another one.

[Waves his free hand in a dismissive little motion]

It’s not prying. You simply asked and I chose to answer.

Glad to hear it. Bonds are important. [ or so he's told. a low whistle though. ] And you call me busy? Maybe we just are really efficient at different work.

[ Sam avoids acknowledging the last part, but offers: ] I guess I owe you a little more then for equal exchange. What do you wanna know?

I was thinking of hosting a murder mystery party to give Cirrus the chance to flex their information gathering skills for fun. Would you attend if I did?

What I want to know… Let’s see. How about…is there anyone you dislike?

Want to know who my top five on the boat are, who love interests are and now who I dislike, huh? So interesting to me you emotional profile. Is that on purpose?

Nah, if you mean on this boat. I haven't spent long enough time with anyone yet for them to hit the wrong buttons.

Off the boat... Yeah, two. Dislike might be a kind word, though.

Edited 2024-09-13 22:53 (UTC)

Of course I'd come. I gotta support you if I can't get rid of you.

I don't know if Cirrus will do much flexing, but I think they would enjoy themselves. [ considers the other members... ] Well, half of them would, at least. I think.

Oh good, because I will need your help with one eensy teensy detail for the party.

Hit me.

Well. If it's a murder mystery party, I need a mystery for them to solve. And you write. Soooooo.

[ : ) ]

Oya? Did I say I write murder mysteries?

No, but you're also not denying it.

Hm... Tell you what. If you can guess which author I am, I'll write your mystery and anything else you need going forward. Sound fair?

Which author as in your pen name or which author as in genre?

My pen name, but if you can guess a title or the protagonist's name, I'll accept it in place of my pen name.

And there's your extra hint just now. Are you clever enough to see what the hint is?

Probably not unless your protagonist’s name is Sam.

I'm afraid not, but there might be a character named Sam in there somewhere. More likely that Murdoch is in the text.

Anyway, it's fine. I need time to think of a murder mystery if you actually find out and win, anyway, so you can't figure it out too quickly. What kind of murder mystery do you want?

What kind...

[Hastens his steps to catch back up, having fallen behind a tiny bit]

Themed, obviously. Something that gives people an opportunity to dress up. Beyond that, I don't really have any preferences. Any thoughts?

Themed and dress up? Like a Victorian Gothic theme or something?

Exactly. Victorian gothic... That could be fun.

Where are you gonna get the costumes? Most people don't have that stuff packed for a vacation.

I thought I might have a little talk with Miss Nana to see if the crew might be so kind as to supply them. Besides, I felt as though it were time I introduce myself to her personally.

Okay. [ Sam pauses now before turning around to start walking back. ] Let's go to the ballroom, instead.

Ah...?

[Looks towards where they were headed and then in the direction Sam is now walking]

I thought you wanted to explore the third floor? Did I interrupt your plans?

No, you're fine. [ he says it a bit quieter than his normal friendly and enthusiastic voice. He doesn't sound upset or anything though. ] This place is exactly the same, so I don't need to check it further.

...all right. If you're sure then.
