THE NIGHT IT SNOWED
A Clue Roleplay
The afternoon of December 18th was miserable. Alternating snow and hail falling from the sky, as if attempted to scare visitors away from the house, as if it knew of what was to come and was warning all who approached. No one seemed to heed the warning however, as the visitors filed one by one into the warmth of the Alistair Home. They were each met at the doorway by a young man who offered a polite smile and relieved them of their bags, giving each directions to their respective rooms. He pointed to the coat rack (an impressive thing, for a coat rack).
After they'd all been given time to unpack, he said, they'd been provided tea in the living room they could help themselves to. "Feel free to get to know one another. Mr. Alistair will be along for dinner, but you needn't wait that long to strike up a lovely conversation with your.." He looked about the mismatched group of individuals, struggling to find the right word. "With your new friends."
He then disappeared around the corner, somehow managing to carry all of the baggage at once, and began to haul it towards the bedrooms down the hall. As if on cue, a bolt of lightning erupted just as he left, lighting up the room, and from the sky another burst of hail came cascading down onto the roof. Clouds formed over the Alistair home, made invisible by the snow drifted towards the ground all around. The blizzard had begun in earnest - though then, not one of the guests quite understood the significance it would have on their lives.
