Dear [Insert OC name here] You have been one of the six lucky ponies selected to participate in a treasure hunt at High Manor in Canterlot! Inside is a chest of bits, enough to supply you for a life time depending how you spend it! Please come on down for this once in a lifetime opportunity! Enclosed Is a train ticket to Canterlot and directions. Alright people, here you are, the Whodunit Rp. Before we start, let me lay down some ground rules: 1: The Killer can not kill unless it is private. 2: You can not act like you know one or which one is the killer, if you are correct, I will have to select a new killer and I really don't want to do that. 3: have fun! The house is a three story affair, top floor is three rooms, two beds each. Middle floor is kitchen+dining room+bar. Bottom floor is the sitting room. And running up the house like a spine is a stairwell
Hibiscus trotted happily up to the door of the mansion. He had no idea why anypony would want to put a lowly drunk like himself in the path of cash, but he didn't care either! Continuing his ever growing grin, Hibiscus raised a hoof and knocked three times on the main door of the manor.
Another pony stepped next to the colt and gave three more knocks on the door. He looked at the pony next to him. "I see you're running late as well. Did you knock already? My bad, heh heh..." He gave a sheepish grin and scratched the back of his head.
Gaze looked at the two while walking up the steps "I guess these are two of the ponies that will be competing against me," Gaze thought he walked up the group and stood by the one with a huge grin. "Hello my name is Gaze and yours?,".
"Name's Starlight, but my friends call me Star. Pleased to meet you, Gaze." He turned to the pony next to him. "You?"
"Hurryhurryhurryhurry!!!" "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Cyanside squeeled in delight as she shot towards High Manor. She'd entirely forgotten the train tickets and had instead flown to Canterlot, running late as usual. As she closed in on the manor she saw three ponies at the steps, which also happened to be her landing spot. "Look out belo-" Her shout was cut off as she crashed right into the ground, missing the steps by a good ten metres. Picking herself off the ground, her head still spinning, she introduced herself. "Hiya, there, I'm Cyanside, pleased to meet you all."
"Well, this certainly will be a fun event!" Hibiscus said. In his mind, he knew he should be hateful and weary around these ponies, but a combination of their happy personalities and his great mood, he was in too much pleasure for that. Hell, he didn't even need any cider right now! "The name's Hibiscus. Pleased to meet y'all."
"Come on in!" a happy voice said in an intercom next to the door, "And thank you for coming to my little competition!"
Gaze shook but the sudden introduction of the intercom while he regained his composure Star had opened the door and held it so they could enter "Why thank you Star," Gaze said and he entered into the mansion.
Cyanside bounced into the building merrily. "We get clues for this? That sounds fun. Sorta like hide and seek only it's not ponies we're finding but bits. But you don't really get hints for hide and seek either...What is it sorta like then?"
Gaze looked around the place for anything to sit on he found a comfuterble couch and quietly sat on it and got out some of his music and started writing until the hint is given where the great amount of bits.
After the last participant had entered the room and the door was closed, the door was locked. "Ah hello participants! I hope you enjoy your hunt for the treasure, full accommodations will be provided for the entirety of the search, but as I can't have you just giving up an missing such a grand opportunity, you shall find the key to leave inside the treasure chest, so enjoy!" the intercom said.
"Well, it was nice meeting alla y'all, but it looks like it would be time to part ways." Hibiscus said to the others. "Good luck with your searches!" Hibiscus turned and let loose a small giggle. "You'll need it..."
"What do you mean by that? Have you got some sorta secret treasure map. Ooh, I know you must be a pirate. Pirate's are really good at finding treasure, or at least they're really good at burying it. But then again you'd have to be good at finding treasure if you're going to bury it. How else would the get it in the first place?" Cyanside blabbered on, following the pub-scented pony. Cyan, This isn't some sort of game...well I guess it sort of is. But shouldn't you be trying to find the treasure or something. "Hey when we find the treasure you wanna split it 50-50, or even 20-80, I'm good with that; But what if it's one of those spirity treasures, how would we split those?"
Gaze sighed and put his music back into his pack and got out his Star Bubbles put them in his mouth and spit them out with the stars slowly levitating and bubbles surrounding them. Gaze jumped on the bubbles and levatated to the third floor and entered one of the rooms to find a bed room and started to open drawers and look under the floor.
Hibiscus stopped at a nearby door and turned towards Cyanside. "Erm, I'm sorry, did you need something? I'm in a bit of a hurry to get this finished; you do NOT realize how much I need this money."
Arrows started looking around for suspicious objects. "If there's anything Sherlock Hooves taught me, it's to look for suspicious objects!" He thought to himself
Starlight sat on the couch and lit the fireplace in front of him with his magic. His plan worked, and as long as everypony else continuously looked and nopony found it, the treasure would be aaaall his. He looked up at his horn, slightly aglow with a dim, yellow magic. "It's great being a unicorn..."
