(Come on guys, post! And people who wish to join, don't worry about not being the killer, there is the possibility of multiple killers, all trying to kill everypony else.)
Star used her magic to make a light and walked off into a room to the right of the entrance. She HAD to find something. She did'nt really care about the treasure she just wanted the key out.
Silence inspected the room of the second floor. Except tables and chairs, there was nothing. She sighed, annoyed, and went downstairs. "Can somepony help me moving a table?". (She ain't mute, she just doesn't talk.)
Star heard the Pony asking for help. Well it would be rude not too... She walked up to the Pony who asked for help. "Where is the table and where to?" She asked.
Silence smiled, and walked to the stairs, and pointed upstairs with her tail. Then, she went to the second floor, waiting for star.
Star wandered up the stairs whisteling. She loved helping others. She could'nt help but feel an eerie essence as she walked up the stairs though...
Silence pointed at some table, wich had a kind of square cutten under it. She walked to it, and placed herself to push the table.
~Craven watched the other ponies traversing the home as he sat on his haunches with a curious expression; looking around back and forth to the windows, walls, and steps, wondering what to do. his ears perked up yet again to the sound of the speakers' crackling, wincing some as the noise attacked his sensitive hearing. He then raised a brow to where the voice had come from, and looked about yet again. the mare with the strange pendent had brought up some questions, but he had decided not to ask them. Instead, he watched as she took off; nodding to her to acknowledge her leaving, then got up from the corner and started walking around; searching the bottom room at first~
Star Smiled and lifted the table using her magic. "So then where do you want it?" She asked, smiling.
Silence waved her head, to the back of he room. "Thanks." She then went over the square under the table and pushed on it. Nothing. She used her magic to lift it up, unsuccessfully. She sighed, and sat in front of it, lost in her toughts. 'It really seemed like a trap hole, dissimuled to avoid the ponies to notice it. She then considered her options: staying here, trying to move this up, or returning to that gentlecord downstairs, and wait for something to happen... At least, she tried something, she said to herself. She smiled and turned to Star. "Wanna try to lift this up? Maybe there's something under it."
Star was confused. try to lift it? She was a unicorn. She lifted what the Pony was pointing at, but only after she got back to the bottom of the stairs. She was beginning to feel on edge.
4ilence tried to lift it up with Star, and all of the second's stage floor seemed to react. Surprised, she let go. It wasn't a trap, finally; only a pattern on the floor. She sighed and went downstairs, a weak "thank you" adressed to star, and went to sat next to Craven, already bored to wait for something to happen. Then, she had a flash; She remembered the voice coming from the speakers, and wondered. There was surely a control pannel hidden somewhere, at least to control the house's electricity. And, hopefully, a console with a mic, and maybe interesting things, and decided to find where could be that control pannel. She looked at the speakers, more precisely to the wires connected on it, and running to the second floor. She tought; she didn't saw any wires coming from the ground, neither any wire running on the walls. Maybe she'll try to find this later, but for now, she was tired from using her magic, and wanted some divertissment.
Star got a bit bored of the place. If this was a competition why did they lock us in? She kept that thought out of her head instead thinking: My students will love to hear about this!
(Oh a little shout out: When some pony gets murdered, don't instantly come in to the scene before the murderer can get away. That would just defeat the purpose and fun of this game. Okay?)
Silence has been sitting here for nearly an hour when she heard a small noise coming from upstairs; Discretly, she went to the second floor to realise that the trap was opened! She went in it, followed the small conduit, till she arrived under the first floor: she had found the basement. The room was smaller than the one over her, and only a little bulb hanging from the ceiling was lighting the place. Quietly, she put the pannel in the trap's hole, and looked around her. Weapons of all kind were hanging on the walls, and a map of the house was reposing on a table at the exact center of the room. She studied it, memorizing each secret passages and hide-outs, and went to the wall. She chose a knife, and three small darts, wich holded a poison with soporifing effects. She looked at the map one last time, before hiding her new weapons in the pockets of her dress. She turned to the conduit and noticed the box clipped on the wall, with a red cross. 'Something to get healed if they resist me. Gonna need to remember that.', she tought. Before Silence left, she made sure she didn't missed anything (that room sure was dark), and went quietly to the trap. She managed to make her way out and put the pannel back before somepony saw her, and went downstairs, slowly, with a bored look on her face.
~Craven was already looking around the mane room for anything suspicious, looking upwards to the top floor as he heard the overhead rumblings; peering under every nook and cranny as he ran a hoof along the sides and corners; both admiring the structure of the building, and also looking to see if anything was out of place. He had lived many years studying buildings, and had experienced quite a few structures in his time. Having to make decisions on a building was something he was familiar with, and only peeked his interest even more at this one. He looked towards the mares that had come back stairs, though a little curious as to why they seemed so bored. Surely there had to be something of interest in the top floor, even something small. Nopony would ever design a building just for the sake of building it, especially if it was for something such as this "game" they were playing. He then took it more upon himself to study the walls, floors, and even the ceiling as to find anything out of the ordinary. A game in a building that has nothing special about it visibly, HAD to have some tricks up its sleeve... So he looked around the room, though keeping an eye on the other ponies as to whether or not they'd find something that he could inspect~
Silence watched Craven inspecting the house, and smiled. She tought he'll never discover any of the hideouts; except the trap upstairs, they were all well-hidden. Anyways, she tought, she could stick to him and give him some clues, so he'll think she's a sweet and kind little mare. She made her decision, and walked to him. "Hi, i'm silence. I was wondering, what're you looking at?"
~he lifts his head from the ground as he glanced over his shoulder towards the mare~ Hmm? What am I looking for? ~he looks back down to the ground along the cracks as he slowly followed them along with every step he took~ I'm looking for anything out of the ordinary... For some reason, something strikes me odd about this game. I mean... All we do is look for the treasure? ~he lets out a small chuckle~ This game would be so much more fun if we had partners or perhaps some sort of clue that we could use to find whatever it is that we're looking for. ~he lifts his head up and pops his neck with a tilt to the side~ Huh... My apologies dear mare. ~he turns around towards her, though getting a little too close to her muzzle with his, then spoke as he looked to her~ My name is Craven. Craven N. Flank. It's a pleasure to meet you. ~he says as he slowly sits on his haunches and then holds out a hoof to shake hers~ And... How would you like to be partners in the is game? ~he then gives her a warm smile with a small chuckle~
Silence nodded. "It would be a pleasure, Craven." Silence looked around to be sure nopony was too close. "I may have noticed that the wires connected to that speaker in the right corner are getting trough the ceiling, but ain't appearing on any wall upstairs. It should mean that the Electricity control pannel is somewhere between the first and the second floor. Also, there was a squarre cutten in the floor under a table on the second floor; but it's only a fake trap hole. Seek for something who looks too normal, instead of something out of the ordinary; sometimes that's how you make nice discoveries."
