Alrighty, I’m going to just do a little light reading…

@Kbail

while the sounds of Jazz music played on the record player in the corner of the room.

So is he an old soul? He sounds it with this sentence.

@Kbail

Thomas Miller. He hadn’t talked to his uncle Thomas in weeks

Ooooh… potential second-cousins to two of babies.

@Kbail

Why did he have to compete against his uncle’s other privileged family members?

'Cause maybe some aren’t quite as greedy. HAHA… wait, they’re all attending so what am I even saying.

@eunoia

instead of reading over another employee’s two weeks notice.

Woah! That’s really depressing.

@eunoia

“Don’t worry, Juan. I’ll hold down the fort while you’re gone,” Stephanie replied, her voice a mix of reassurance and concern. “But seriously, are you sure you want to go through with this? It just sounds so… bizarre.”

Is it weird that I really like Stephanie? Can she also attend the event with him? HAHAHA

@eunoia

“Exactly,” Juan said, shaking his head. He glanced at his watch. “I don’t have time for drama—More drama. I have a business to run and, frankly, I’m not interested in his family squabbles. But I can’t just ignore him. He’s a client, after all.”

HERE, HERE! I like Juan now too!

@eunoia

“Don’t get mushy on me now,” she teased. “You know I only keep you around for my pay check.”

Is this really all? Sounds like they have history to me…

HEHEHE

@iSwaxX

Slightly exhausted from the long flight, Kevin finally landed in America. It wasn’t his first time visiting the country but he’s never been to Washington before.

Where’s he from?

@iSwaxX

Of course the first thing he did after landing was checking his phone and going through his social media.

As we all do, am I right? Unless he was on a good international flight and then he can still do it on the plane.

@iSwaxX

active viewer of Kevin’s stream, they interacted online frequently and became sort of friends.

Ooooh… he’s an influencer… okay, then yeah, he would definitely make sure to go online on the plane if it’s an International flight.

@eunoia

Now, with her twins at their daddy’s house for the week, it was her quiet time.

Yikes. Twins. Poor woman.

@eunoia

“I’m sorry to interrupt your recording, but I noticed you might have caught me in your shot.”

HEHEHEHE. Great introduction to another character. Love it.

@Kbail

He continuing studying the man’s face. His attractiveness was intimidating.

That’s a fair comment.

@eunoia

“That would bring me in. I’m the man who makes sure Mr. Millers books keep making their rounds around the world.”

Ah, he’s a publisher. No wonder he’s worried about staff leaving, although I feel he’d also be making them redundant in this market too. Whoops, too real, my bad.

@Kbail

“No it does not.” He snapped.

Woah. Sore subject, me thinks.

@Kbail

“I… don’t have anyone that helps my books get out…I do it all myself.”

Ewww… not a fan of him not appreciating those who work behind the scenes.

@eunoia

“But trust me, he appreciates talent and hard work more than most.” You would be surprised at the strings I’ve seen him pull.

YASSSS! Humble man, love him more.

@Kbail

Her daughter Karen was staying at her husband’s, so Kara was free to go wherever she pleased especially now with no one being around…She often wondered why her daughter had to settle down so young, but then again, she fell pregnant when she was young.

How old is her daughter?
Also, the mother/daughter names are so funny. Kara and Karen. Love it.

[Kbail]

@CrazyCaliope

Is this really all? Sounds like they have history to me…

I was thinking that too lol

@CrazyCaliope

How old is her daughter?

I think she’s like 18. She got married young

@CrazyCaliope

Also, the mother/daughter names are so funny. Kara and Karen. Love it.

Thanks

[ChayChay05]

Gotta respond in this after I do schoolwork

[CrazyCaliope]

Respond to what?

[ChayChay05]

Kbail

[Kbail]

Were the characters allowed to go into the house before the time skip? Like to get situated and put their clothes away?

[SotaForgotten]

Unfortunately no. After the time skip they are allowed to

[CrazyCaliope]

More light reading…

@Kbail

I’m a perfectionist

Perfectionists always need help, particularly when they don’t want it.

@Kbail

Theo just wanted to go to his room and explore the house.

Me too, Theo, me too.

@Kbail

and drinking coffee.

The most important thing in any day.

@Kbail

Jessica was starting to panic as she looked around the maze frantically.

But why even go into the maze if… okay, sure.

@ChayChay05

He took a deep breath and looked to Ronnie. “I will be going to a mansion to try and win money.”

WOW! Just wow. Before he knew she had one too, there was no suggestion to ask if he had a plus one. What a guy… not.

@ChayChay05

Then he decided to just walk in. The sight before his eyes

OMFG! The trauma for him. … I actually have a friend who this actually happened to. He was 14 when he found his dad too. I never want to imagine the emotion and horror you’d feel finding someone like this.

@eunoia

Her long, dried, bleached blonde hair

Dried? As in it’s not that well looked up after 'cause of all the bleach or dried after a shower?

@eunoia

Almost robotically, she picked up the pair of scissors resting on the counter that she had grabbed from the kitchen moments ago.

Oh boy, when I first read this, I was sooo worried it was about to get incredibly dark. Eeek. Sorry about that.

@eunoia

Her twin sister.

There’s a third set of twins attending this event?

@Kbail

“Thank you, thank you. I just… I’m not normally like this.

Sure… yeah, yeah, okay, I’m definitely certain you don’t sound like a drama queen… not.

@Kbail

The vision

Is she psychic or something?

@duck

Their agreement had ended months ago, and even then, correspondence had always been through email.

Their agreement? Intriguing.

@duck

Runt, her cat

Great name!

@Mouschi

preparing braised pork belly and a wonton soup

Mmmm… yummm… can I come for dinner?

@Mouschi

“Oh! I remember him, he was backstage one time, during the Spring show”

Show? Does that mean she’s not a scientist?

@Mouschi

made sure to pack her carryon lightly so she could grab it and make a b line for the exit.

Yes. Best decision ever!!!

@Mouschi

Once introduced to her room, she rushed for the bathroom, enjoying a steamy hot shower before succumbing to a quick nap. She unpacked her things into the room, making it herself at home, soon changing into her outfit for the day.

WAIT! What? She went inside the house? I thought no one was allowed inside yet? Or am I confused… @SotaForgotten?

@duck

“By all means, please,” she gestured the teapot. “It is here for all to enjoy. Masala chai, I believe. Though I would not be surprised if Mr. Miller varied teas by pot.”

Does this mean that both characters are inside the house?

@duck

“Marcelle,” she offered, at last. “I worked with Mr. Miller, before he retired from writing.”

Ooooh… “worked” okay, I see how it is. (smirk)

[eunoia]

@CrazyCaliope

There’s a third set of twins attending this event?

Oh no, there’s three??

[SotaForgotten]

Technology no, but if they did snuck in, they’d have to roll the dice and see if they got away with snooping or caught in the act. Did I forget to mention this? I’m sorry

[duck]

@CrazyCaliope

I think we may have had a setting mix-up in the interaction I was imagining them here v

@SotaForgotten

In the garden, there was a open area with circle tables. Each table had tea sets and finger foods ready for the contestants to enjoy. Each table could be enjoyed by three people.

[SotaForgotten]

Haha I didn’t realize I had posted that with the rest. Sorry. That little bit has been deleted! Thank you for the quote

[CrazyCaliope]

Yeah, I have four characters - two sets of twins

[CrazyCaliope]

@SotaForgotten

Technology no, but if they did snuck in, they’d have to roll the dice and see if they got away with snooping or caught in the act. Did I forget to mention this? I’m sorry

Lol at technology.
But yeah, it was in the character’s OP, so maybe you need to message about either changing or rolling, depending on if the character is sneaky. ‘Cause sneaking in may not fit with the character.

@duck

I think we may have had a setting mix-up in the interaction I was imagining them here v

Yeah, yeah, I thought it was the garden too.

[CrazyCaliope]

@SotaForgotten

The House

^^^ Why is the link private? Are we not allowed to see it yet?

[SotaForgotten]

Oof. Give me a minute to see if my partner will fix that

[SotaForgotten]

It should be available now

[CrazyCaliope]

Even more light reading…

@eunoia

Juan pulled out a card from his breast pocket, extending it to Theo. “Consider me a contact?”

Smoooooooth!

@eunoia

“I always liked the little mazes in coloring books growing up, but that… that doesn’t look like how I want to spend my afternoon.”

@eunoia

Hey, hey, girly,

OMG! This is gonna be great if she talks to one of my girls and calls her this. HEHEHE. Prepare for slap-age if she does.

@duck

“I don’t know him well, either. Only through work. But now, I’m struggling to decipher how the guest list was decided.”

You and me both.

@Mouschi

“I’m more of a reader than a writer myself, I have an obsession with fantasy novels”

What’s Aira’s favourite fantasy book?

@duck

“I can write well,

WOW! She has confidence in her work. So lucky.

@Kbail

Kara managed to sneak into a backdoor of the manor and now she was slowly walking down one of the hallways. The walls were painted white and brown and the sunlight from the window made all of the antiques and trinkets even shinier. Her shoes made the floorboards creak and she knew that being careful was the best thing to do if she wasn’t allowed to be there.

Was this how @SotaForgotten envisioned the house? Sorry, just checking that this is accurate, as I’m just trying to picture it too. (wink)

@Kbail

He didn’t know much about him at all but if there was a chance to get all of his money he was in for it.

Love that he’s going for the money despite not even knowing him.

@Kbail

“Hey, you guys know where all the hot chicks are?” Then he started laughing because there was no way some beach babe was at a mansion that looked like it crawled out of a Grandma’s attic.

@Mouschi

“I graduated from school not too long ago and got a job as a Neurologist late last year”

Ooooh… is that what her job is…

@duck

A model and neurologist? Odd. Interesting.

LOL. Sounds odd but quite common. I have a friend who is a surgeon and a model.

@duck

Though her bank account often didn’t allow for it, Marcelle loved to travel.

I feel you, I feel you, Marcelle.

@ChayChay05

He wondered where his girlfriend went. He lost site over her.

Hmm… is he a tad bit possessive?

[SotaForgotten]

@CrazyCaliope

Was this how @SotaForgotten envisioned the house? Sorry, just checking that this is accurate, as I’m just trying to picture it too. (wink)

I don’t even remember what I envisioned anymore haha

[CrazyCaliope]

Yes, it is. Cheers.

So with the latest post on the thread, I’m not sure if that means conversations are concluded and to start anew, or if the old conversations can just continue
