Thread: Murder on St Claire Cruise Ship- Start up

Cameron chuckled, walking up to the rich trainer. "Of course." he drawled, offering his hand to the Houndoom to sniff. "I'd call that a nice save, if it weren't such an obvious one." He gave a slight, but flourishing bow to both the trainers. "Cameron Hoyt, at your services. And who might you lovely gents be?"

Alase shook his hand happily, "it's great to meet you, Kent! And I'm doing awesome!" she replied, a bright smile on her face. "What about you?"

Armin was a bit off-put by the stranger, not sure how to react to his odd introduction.

"O-Obvious??" he said, still a bit flustered. He wrapped his arm around the Pokemon and pulled her a bit closer, trying to make amends while under the pressure of the others. "No way! Vivian knows she's my one true prize!" The Seviper, fighting as hard as she could to stay angry, loosened up a bit and allowed herself to curl around her trainer's arm slightly. Armin let out a sigh of relief and looked up at Cameron, trying to retain his signature, mischevous grin.

"Armin," he said, easing a bit as well. "Armin White."

"Oh, a little overwhelmed perhaps. This place is so big..." Kent took a moment to marvel over the luxurious decor that lined the walls and ceiling of the room. "Nevermind being big, it's beautiful."
He regained his senses again.
"Well, just out of curiosity, what Pokemon do you have?" Just as he asked that, he wondered where his Leafeon and Vaporeon went.

OOC: Okay an NPC is about to be murdered. Everyone but three has posted (I know why GG hasn't but hopefully the other two will post). Now this NPC name is Amy Muttons, she has greeted each of your character as they boarded on the boat and quite friendly towards them so everyone will be shocked since one of the nicest people have been murdered, and there is no telling who it could have been because they could have used their Pokemon for it.


Sable smiled at Armin and the Seviper who seemed a bit spoiled. "A Seviper that doesn't want to battle, that's new" Sable remarked, she looked over as Jordan spoke to Armin

"Actually Houndoom belongs to me, and if he wants to battle it's okay with me" Sable replied. Houndoom stood up while Arcanine seemed to disappear somewhere. Houndoom nodded his head to a battle and jumped around playfully hoping Sable and Jordan would let them. She noticed another person walking up and talking to them

"I am Sable Blackstone nice to meet you" Sable said to Cameron

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amy Muttons was one of the nicest people you could get to know with blond blond hair, a sweet looking face and light sparkling blue eyes that you couldn't say no to. She was about 5'5 tall and quite skinny as well but looked pretty.

She loved meeting all these different people, from the three way relationship women to the mysterious characters. She smiled as she walked down past Cyrus's cabin who wasn't in the room anymore and kept walking towards her own cabin.

"I wonder if Jigglypuff will want to battle anyone" Amy said referring to her only Pokemon. She just reached the age of twenty one and had come into quite a bit of money. She didn't notice however someone sneaking up to her, and swiftly before she even knew what happened killed her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Raven stood there about ten minutes before she didn't know what else she wanted to do. Perhaps exploring the ship would be a great idea so she headed back down to the cabins, noting that the weird professor seemed to have disappeared. Lost in her own thoughts Raven kept walking and before she knew it fell down.

"Ugh!" Raven groaned before she noticed her hand had some blood on it. "What the?" Raven whispered before sitting up and looking behind her. Raven's eyes widened as she noticed the dead Amy lying dead, she could not determine what killed her but Raven remember meeting the woman earlier and she was so nice, someone that Raven knew could be trusted!

"Who could do that?" Raven whispered. Now looking for someone to befriend was going to be harder for her, a killer was on the ship that was too far from any land and who knew who could have done it. Whether it was the killer themself or a Pokemon ordered by the killer Raven could not tell, but one thing was for sure.

Amy Muttons was dead.


OOC: Gasp! Who could have done such a thing? How did Amy die? Who did it? Everyone is a suspect since it's hard to tell what killed her. Word will soon spread as Raven tells the captain and crew members.

"A pleasure, miss." Cameron answered, bending down and kissing the back of Sable's hand lightly before turning back to Armin, smirking slightly. "And a fine pleasure it is to meet you as well, Armin." he remarked, his grin perhaps the least subtle hint he'd ever given. "You are quite inept at lying, but you're cute, so I'll let it slide." he added, winking cheerily before spotting a crew member rushing towards them, looking troubled. "What's this?"

"Right, ah...Jordan Summers," Jordan explains to Cameron before Sable approaches and claims the Houndoom. "Well alright then, Miss Blackstone, I was actually going to leave now, but Earnhardt is perfectly capable of battling on his own, I'm sure." Jordan turned to Earnhardt as he began walking to the ballroom exit. "You already know where it is; try not to stay down here too long. Mr. Hoyt, Mr. White and Miss Blackstone, it was nice meeting all of you."

[OOC]: You should probably conduct this battle yourself, Tara. As much as I would like to do it, I can't be up at 0112 much longer, especially if I have to go tomorrow. We'll have to wait and see how much posting I can get done tomorrow, but I don't know what my setup for the week will be like.

Alase nodded empathetically. "Oh, yes. Just a few seconds ago, Anima was also commenting on the elegance of the place. It's so lovely, isn't it?" she asked, sighing dreamily. Perking up, Alase waved a hand nonchalantly, "oh, nothing much. Just ol' Dilt here," she started, pointing towards Dilt, "Soli, my Solrock, and Cissy, my Lapras." She was about to say more when a message came through her mind.

Alase, I sense a disturbence in the air. Stay on alert. Anima's voice floated through her mind, the body striding out of the room to investigate. Raising an eyebrow, she shrugged and turned back to Kent. "You want to meet them?"

"I'd love to meet them Alase." Kent smiled warmly back, but soon frowned. "I'd show you mine, but two of them are in my room taking a nap and the other two..." He looked around. "Probably went out to go enjoy themselves. We can go look for them if you wish." He added apologetically.

Kokirkimu sighed and stood up.

"May as well introduce ourselves to everyone else, eh? I'll see you later."

He then walked up to the person with the Seviper, introducing himself.

"Hello. My name is Kokirkimu. What would your name be?" he said, until he smelled the scent of a dead body, and his eyes widened. He then abandoned the conversation, muttering to himself.

"Oh, no...this is not good at all..." he said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morgart called his Mightyena, and it stopped inspecting the Wynaut and ran right up to its master.

"We need to know if Zaar's on this boat. Can you try to track him down? You know what he looks like, right?"

Morgart's Mightyena nodded, but then it smelled something else. Blood. It gestured over to the cabins, then started playing dead, telling him that someone died. Morgart simply shrugged.

"Maybe Zaar swooped in and killed her behind our backs. He's gotta talent for sneaky tactics like that. Now, go find him," he said, and the Mightyena immediately ran off, trying to find Zaar in this crowd. But then, Kokirkimu approached him.

"We need to put our plans into action. Now."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Karosha just walked out of the bathroom, and walked back into the ballroom, and her thoughtful state had ended. She was now talking amongst everyone else with happiness, and introduced herself to Cameron.

"Hi! My name's Karosha, and I thought I may as well get to know everyone here, since we're going to share company for six days. So, what's your name?"

Sable noticed alot of the people were now coming over to the food table, it seemed pretty nice to meet all these people though. She noticed another guy apparently named Kokirkimu was introducing himself, and a crew member was rushing past.

"Hey! What's going on?" Sable asked as Camereon asked what was going on as well. The crew member looked troubled

"Alright we cannot have panic and this is going to get out somehow. Amy Muttons has been murdered down in the cabins" the crew member explained shocking them.

"Amy? You mean that nice girl?" Sable asked, she looked over at Scarlett who had the same reaction, both had met Amy and found her a delight to talk to, she was so interesting and Scarlett knew Sable had a small crush on her. She noticed Arcanine walking out of the cabins and back over to them.

"Now I don't know what's going on exactly, I just hate to think that we might have a killer in our midst" the crew member replied before rushing off, the body had been taken away further now as Raven walked over to them with some blood stains.

"Raven? Are you okay?" Sable asked as Scarlett left Leann's side and ran over to her girlfriend

"Baby what happened?" Scarlett asked.

"I am fine... But I am the one who found Amy's body, I don't know what killed her but this was no accident" Raven explained before looking at the rest of the group and the people crowding them as murmurs and shocks were heard.



OOC: Aj- That's okay I think the battle is about to be forgotten with this news. I hope nobody gets lost, if you do just ask and I will try to see if I can get you up to speed and right where you should be.

Armin listened to the frantic whispers and pulled the Seviper closer, who curled further and tighter around her trainer's arm. He callously muttered to himself as he took a sip from his champagne.

"I want a refund on this trip."

OOC: Gotta go to bed, guys. It's 10:30 PM here. See you guys tomorrow.

Tanya, who had made her way over to the food table while waiting impatiently for her children to return, gasped as she heard the news.

"A killer in the cabins!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening in fright. "My children- My children are in the Cabins! They went a while ago, and haven't come back! What if..."

She couldn't make herself finish the sentence. She turned to Raven.

"You were in the cabins right! Please tell me you saw my children and they're safe! Please!"

Cameron pursed his lips, deep in thought. 'Ms. Muttons...oh, the woman who greeted all the guests.' he remembered, tapping his finger to his lips. 'Why would anyone kill someone like the greeter? Why wouldn't they go straight for someone like the captain or Moneybags here, if they were trying to make a point?'
