Where?: Miami, Florida.
Occasion?: Murder.
What to Bring?: An airtight alibi.
The Daily Scoop Ice Cream Parlor is found on the corner of happiness and hospitality, or at least that’s how the slogan goes. It’s a popular hangout for young and old beach goers alike—it's a household name. It’s a place that never sleeps—customers are always buzzing in and out, much to the dismay of the tired employees, who plaster on their fake smiles as they dish out scoop after scoop of ice cream and tell people to have a great day. The job comes with its perks, though. Who’s going to turn down free ice cream and beach access? Not high school students looking to make a few extra bucks while still finding a way to enjoy summer vacation, that’s for sure. Still, all good things must come to an end. On July 12th, two employees opened the store to find a dead body shoved in the ice cream freezer. For the first time in years, The Daily Scoop was shut down to the public as the six young employees rallied in the back of the store. The police were called, and after further investigation discovered that the time of death would’ve been sometime between the closing crew left and the opening crew arrived. The alarm was never triggered, meaning whoever had done it must’ve had the key to turn it off. A sweep of the security cameras found the footage during that time frame erased. The strangest part of all, however, is that the body was identified as that of Roger Moore, the principal at the local high school that all six employees attend. Unanswered questions hang in the air—such as who did it and for what purpose—but one thing’s for sure: strange things are afoot at The Daily Scoop.
THE RULES
001. All of the standard rpn rules apply;be excellent to each other and rock onbe nice to each other ooc, but feel free to make your characters total assholes.
002. This is going to be a literate roleplay, so try to use good grammar in your posts and write a good 3-4 paragraphs at least.No slackers allowed.
003. I completely understand that real life comes first, so if something comes up in the middle of things, please let me know. Otherwise, try to post a couple of times a week as I'd like to keep this thing up and running.
004. Obviously, this roleplay will be dealing with adult(ish) themes. Case in point: I've already mentioned murder. If dark themes like that make you uncomfortable, then I highly suggest you turn back now.
005. This will be a small group roleplay, so I will only be accepting five members other than myself, meaning there will be 6 characters in total. This isn't going to be first come, first served, so if you see that six character sheets have already been posted, that doesn't mean that they'll all be accepted! Go ahead and post yours. I'll be picking characters based on literacy and use of grammar as well as how much thought and creativity went into their creation.
006. Seeing as this is a murder mystery roleplay, I will keep everyone in the dark as to who the murderer is. The player whose character did it will be messaged privately for the sake of maintaining the suspense.
