The murder mystery last night was RIDICULOUSLY fun. :p It was an interesting assortment of guests at the dinner. We had Nico as a goddess from Saiyuki. Part of her schtick was that she could only speak through her aide, Cherie, because her voice would destroy all her minds. Those of you who know NIco know how HILARIOUS it is that she had to keep quiet the entire night. :p She kept having to relay smartalecky comments through someone else. :p

silver_saber was a highly arrogant Dark, which was amusing. Alana was an original character who runs a theatre, with an on again off again French accent. :p Susan was Sakura from Tsubasa. She's only seen three episodes, so she was highly confused by her own character. Which, considering how Tsubasa is, actually worked quite nicely. :p Our murderer was Kyoya from Host Club, who did it for financial gain. :p We had in attendance Captain Jack Sparrow and his French alter ego Jacques, whose accent was as erratic as his beloved Madame Fleur. :p

I was River. It was RIDICULOUSLY fun! I mean, I got to yell at Jacques for fantasizing too loudly and play with rainbow Jello and call it being IC! Everyone was a bit creeped out that I managed to keep it up the entire time. Truth be told, I'm mildly disturbed at how easy the character was to fall into. But it was just SO MUCH FUN!

Last night was also Midnight Madness. I picked up a Christmas present for Vicki, yay. The FLying A (campus store) is closing, so their prices were lower than their usual Midnight Madness level, though the selection was rather sparse. Fortunately, I can wear kids' sizes, so I picked up a Mount Allison hoodie. I've wanted one for a while and the discount made the price actually almost close to reasonable. And it's all warm and fuzzy! Of course, the weather has been so absurdly WARM lately... :p

So wait, it was like a multi-fandom murder mystery? That's how it was able to have both River and Capn Sparrow?

Wow, it sounds cool!

Yep, multi fandom. We told the people organizing the event what costumes we currently had, and they came up with the story based around this. :p

Oh, of course -- that's what your costume was for! What a great event. You must have a neat circle of friends to be able to do an event like that. How great!

Well, it was for Halloween, but that meant it was conveniently available for this. :p

The anime club is a bunch of really awesome people. We do things like this and being crazy enough to decide to start a convention. :p

What exactly does one do at a murder mystery party? I am intrigued.

Oh, it's SO fun. Everyone is given their character and some information about what they saw the night of the murder and what they did. THere's a police report explaining more about the murder. You discuss in character and try to figure out whodunnit.

How COOL!

So one of the guests is the culprit or what?

It really is. :p

And yes, that's exactly how it works. :p

So how do you plant clues and all?

Everyone has certain information that they are REQUIRED to reveal in the dialogue.

Oh cool!

And they have to stay in character?

Yep, which can lead to some HILARITY. :p

Dude, that sounds like so much fun. :)

It REALLY was. :D I love my friends. :p
