Post subject: | 'Tis the Season (REDUX): A PW Roleplay |
Mwahaha. It's funny, really. I had this little roleplay that I started up some two years ago when I first joined, and I really rather liked it. However, as it was, I became very busy and disappeared from the site for about two years. Well, I just happened to find that roleplay and scrolled through it for fun. Then I had a thought; it might be fun to try again! So, after tweaking it slightly, I decided it was worth a shot! So, if anyone's interested, er... have at you! If not... oh well! Note: If anyone actually DOES join this sordid little affair, I'll leave it up to everyone to decide whether or not they wish to allow the events and characters of Ace Attorney Investigations into the mix. SUMMARY: Early December. People bustle about preparing for the holidays and there is a distinct chill in the air. But underneath all the magic of the holidays, there is a dark and sinister business. Police intake massive amounts of coffee and Chinese Take-Out as they work 'round the clock to catch a killer. Four victims thus far, each as different as can be expected; a secretary at a foreign embassy, a kindergarten teacher, a young housewife and an art student. All four females have been tortured over long periods of time, strung-up and bled-out before being ritualistically posed beneath Christmas trees throughout the city. Even more disturbing and puzzling, a small silver bell was left on the chest of each victim. The bizarre, ritualistic murders have come to be known as the Silver Bell Slayings. With local authorities and Interpol alike prowling the streets and citizens clutching their shopping bags close as they walk the streets in fear, will they be able to flush out the killer before he strikes again?

Spoiler: My Character It's a rather lengthy description, but this character is actually the main prosecutor of the game so I've fleshed out her character a lot. |

I'll be Miles Edgeworth (prosecutor bonanza!) Custom character: Name: Gloria Scupe Age: 30 Occupation: Private Investigator/Freelance Journalist Description/Picture: Long, dyed blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail. Round green eyes. Wears colorful, borderline gaudy clothes. During winter she always seems to wear way too many scarves. History: Her obsession with finding the truth behind mysterious events plagued her since childhood. Ever since she could read she devoured magazines and newspapers and mystery novels. This led to her unusual double-job. While on the job investigating for clients she's always on a lookout for a new scoop, for which she later writes an article and sells it to newspapers and magazines. She is good at what she does and her investigative and journalistic talents are among the most sought-after in Los Angeles. However, because of her work she's always incredibly busy and so her social life is non-existent, despite her remarkable looks. Her most recent client was a relative of a victim of the Silver Bell Slayings. Her job now is to stalk the streets for information on the serial killer. She is particularly interested in this job because if she would be the one to find the identity of the Silver Bell Slayer, her reputation would skyrocket. Not to mention an exclusive article would fetch a great price. Special Skills: Experienced in writing and investigating. Practices tai chi to both manage stress and defend herself. Flaws/Shortcomings: Despite her investigative skill and her charm, she has horrible people skills brought on by her fiercely independent lifestyle. She has an aversion to new technology: she types her articles on her grandfather's old typewriter and mails them in. Willingly takes big risks. Other: She's very energetic and acts much younger than her actual age. However, if she doesn't have coffee in the morning she can't function. If and when she ever has free time she spends reading mystery novels or watching old science fiction films on her antique projector. Keeps her thoughts and information together on a notepad. She's almost always found writing in it, but few know that sometimes she's really just doodling. |

Hey, this sounds pretty fun. I'll proudly make this my big RP debut on this forum. When it comes to original characters, I don't really have many (or any good ones). So for now, I'll be good ol' Gumshoe. |

((Going on hiatus for a week, so I'll just do a post so it doesn't inconvienience us. Ignore it if it doesn't work with what a fortiori wants, or whatever)) Lyrah Knight stood outside in the swirling snow, wrapping her cream trench coat tighter around her before heading in to the forensics department to a blast of 'Jingle Bells'. "Who would know that a series of murders had been committed, what with the happy atmosphere." she muttered irritably. "But at least there are people on the case. Jury, Judge, Katrina, Miles, Gloria, Gumshoe... and me." she added as an afterthought. "I'd better go home and start packing for my vacation since I'm on holiday for a little while. I wish I didn't have to go... but I'll leave the autopsy files here for the team if they need them." All four victims clearly suffered the same cause of death - bruises and cuts which indicate torture for a long period of time before they bled to death. There is no apparent connection to the victims in race, job, blood type etc. Call me if you need me. -Lyrah |

((Oh jeez, starting without the RP master? Not sure how I feel about that, but what the hell. The posts can be ignored if she's not okay with them.)) Gumshoe sat down at his desk, looking down at the assorted files and papers scattered across it. He scratched the back of his head in discomfort, being forced to recall the events of the murders. The thoughts of those bodies, the way they were positioned under the christmas trees around, the bells placed on the chests of the victims... and the blood. Oh, the blood. He shuddered at the mere thought of it. He was often told how ridiculous it is to be a detective afraid of blood, but he didn't care. He was just happy to be living his biggest dream since he was a kid... besides being a wizard. ...Or a boxer. ...Or a gourmet chef. ...But that didn't mean there wasn't a rare occasion when he just wanted to stay home with a warm bowl of instant noodles. He didn't want to admit it, but this was pretty much one of those moments. ((Hope this was a good first post. Writing for Gumshoe is so fun.)) |

((Um, where is everyone? I've come back from my hiatus and only TheWrightWay has posted...)) Lyrah dumped her suitcases in the hallway of the precinct. She had driven for eight hours straight, yet somehow had convinced herself that a quick trip to work wouldn't be a cardinal sin. Entering Criminal Affairs, she saw one Detective Gumshoe labouring over a stack of files. Lyrah recognised the file she had left on top of the teetering tower. Ah, they must not have made much progress...figures. Lyrah mooched sullenly over to the Detective, deciding that she might deign to help him - they were acquainted, after all, and she didn't want the visit to be a total waste. "Detective," she said stiffly. "Do you require any assistance or do I just need to get you a pot of instant noodles?" ((Hope this is okay...)) |

The good detective jumped at the sound of Lyrah's voice. He apparently didn't hear the door. "Oh, Mrs. Knight! No, I'm fine! I have tons of stuff figured out, like...! ...Uh..." He scratched the back of his head once again. "...And...! ...No, uh... wait, just give me a second..." C'mon, he was just looking at the files a second ago! "...Help would be nice..." |

Lyrah frowned at being called 'Mrs' yet she stood next to him and picked up her file on the autopsies. "Very well. As you can see, the victims clearly all suffered the same cause of death - all have been tortured and have eventually bled out. Death was slow, and some of the wounds were inflicted post mortem. This suggests that either the killer didn't know they were dead, or tbey just carried on in spite of it. Do you know if any connections were found between the victims in any way? I didn't see any myself, but has anyone spotted anything since then?" Lyrah pulled a chair over and sat edgily beside Gumshoe, ocean blue eyes boring into him, already sensing that his answer would almost certainly be 'No.' She sighed, and raked a pale hand through her flyaway hair in frustration. |

"Tortured"... "Bled out"... Those were the words that really made him shiver. Those bodies... he hadn't seen him, but the thought still made him pale. "Do you know if any connections were found between the victims in any way?" "Uh, well M'am..." Gumshoe could already tell Mrs. Knight wasn't going to like the answer. He gulped as he finally finished his sentence. "Uh, n-no connections were found, M'am." He scratched his head. He sure was doing a lot of that. "The... the killings are seemingly random. That's about all we can tell." He finally finished his sentence, at least trying to be professional. |

Lyrah had guessed right, and a slight pang of nervousness hit her, but she merely nodded to Gumshoe, who was still calling her 'Mrs'. "I see. Well. I think it's safe to conclude that these killings are random, for now at least. What other information is there, Detective? On a side note, please... it's Miss. Knight, not Mrs." Lyrah murmured. |

Detective Gumshoe let out a small gulp. "Er, yes, Mrs.-, uh, Miss. Knight. I guess I just get my words mixed up." He let out a chuckle to lighten the mood. "It reminds me of when I was a kid and the teacher would always put me out in the hall for-" |

Post subject: | Re: 'Tis the Season (REDUX): A PW Roleplay |
"Detective, please stay on the topic at hand!" she snapped, but then she spoke again and her voice was softer. "I-I'm sorry. Forgive me for being so harsh." After all, he already got it in the neck from all the prosecutors and didn't need her bad mood on top of that. It reminded her of some things too... |

((Back from the RP break. Now time to give this a little bit of activity)) The good detective let out a winch at the sudden interupption and was ready to start apologizing until he himself was given an apology. "Oh, uh... i-it's okay, Ma'm! I just talk too much, it's not a big deal." He let out a reassuring smile. "Anyway... not much more evidence has been found. Whoever this is, he has a good way of covering his tracks. All we have is those bells left on the bodies, Ma'm." |

"Okay..." Lyrah pondered to herself. "I don't think we will be able to shed any more light on this matter tonight. Let us reconvene tomorrow - perhaps I might treat you to breakfast in the courthouse cafeteria? We can go to the crime scenes afterward." Lyrah offered. |

"Oh! Uh, well... th-that's alright!" Actually, breakfast would be nice. Gumshoe didn't have much food left back at his apartment and he was getting pretty tired of noodles for breakfast. But he didn't want to be a bother to Ms. Knight. "That's okay. ...But we can check out the crime scene tomorrow! I was planning on getting there tonight, but I guess it is a little late..." ((Hope I'm good with Gumshoe. I think I'm doing a good job, but if I ever go OOC, somebody tell me.)) |
