You wake up in a room, everyone around you is already awake. What happened? Why were you sleeping at a dinner party? Lorenza is shaking you, Lorenza? Right, Lorenza, Viktor Jr. wife. You look to the head of the table, where your friend Lord Viktor Sutherland lies dead! The butler rushes in: "What's going on? The doors were locked the entire time!" Across the table, Lady Sutherland bursts into tears, Colonel Mustard goes to comfort her, but she recoils from him with an angry push. Viktor Jr. asks if you want to examine the body [[Examine the body]] [[Retire for the night]]

You look closely at the body, there are several large cuts. They don't seem to be that deep, but there are many of them. You know what did this. [[Evaluation]]

You respond to Viktor Jr. "No. This is an issue for the detectives. I suggest we all get some rest, we won't be able to leav the Manor until this horrible storm is over. Lady Sutherland- I'm sorry" You go upstairs and enter your room, you notice a drop of blood on your nail- no, it's probably wine or your mind playing tricks on you. Tired, you go to sleep. [[Later that night]]

(set: $name to (prompt: "Enter your name:", "")) $name, you are a doctor. You are good friends with Viktor Sutherland, a wealthy man who has invited you for the weekend to celebrate his 900th birthday. Are you read to [[begin the story]]?

A sound startles you awake! What could it be? Carefully opening your door, you look out, Colonel Mustard is running towards Lady Sutherland's room! What could this mean? [[Go back to your room, you've seen enough]] [[Keep investigating]]

You go back to your room, you can hear a voice coming from the room next to yours. It's Viktor Jr, you go closer to the wall to hear. He is praying for forgiveness? Confused, you push the events and thoughts from your mind and go to sleep. [[Wake up]]

here too? <p>You can hear voices arguing, careful to keep quiet you inch forward. Lorenza and one other voice you cannot identify are arguing. Eager to here more, you step forward. A loud creak from the wood, causes you to run back to your room.</p> Tired, you go to sleep. [[Wake up]]

You wake up feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. Oh wait, someone died. Better go investigate that. Oh wait, you decided against investigating. Better go eat eggs for breakfast and check in on Lady Sutherland. Did Colonel Mustard kill Lady Sutherland? Is that why he was running to her room? Or is something more nefarious at play.. [[Go eat eggs]] [[Go eat porridge]] [[Check to see if Colonel Mustard killed Lady Sutherland]]

Mmmm, these eggs are delicious. Viktor Jr. walks in, you remember last night. You decide to ask him what was going on: "So, I heard vocies last night so I put my ear against the wall and heard you praying. What was that about?" Viktor Jr. responds, "Oh, you know, the usual stuff" Hmmm... Colonel Mustard walks in, he does not eat breakfast though. Colonel Mustard wishes you a good morning and sits down, "I am watching you, Viktor. I know what you did" Viktor pales, and looks down at his bland porridge. You speak up, "I am going to lead an investigation on Lord Sutherland's murder. No one is leaving this house." Lorenza walks in, "I heard you in the hall, I am also going to lead the investigation!" "I didn't do anything, I promise!" exclaims Colonel Mustard [[Question Lady Sutherland first]] [[Question Viktor Jr. first]]

Lady Sutherland is mortified by your intrusion into her dressing room. Your spluttered excuse, "I thought you were dead" doesn't help. [[Go eat eggs]] [[Flee in shame]]

You fled. This led the police to think you were the murderer. You are a known fugitive and spend the rest of your days living in a cave. [[See what happens next]] [[Live out your days as a hermit]]

Ugh, you've never liked porridge. Lady Sutherland walks in, "I love porridge, don't you?" You decide to ask him about last night: "Why was Colonel Mustard running towards your room" "You saw nothing. Sheesh, way to ruin the mood" is her annoyed response. Viktor Jr. walks in, his eyes are red. You ask him if he's okay. "Of course I'm not okay! What's wrong with you?" Lorenza walks in, "Morning Viktor". Viktor ignores her. You notice this. Lorenza announces, "I am going to lauch an investigation of the murder of our dear friend Lord Sutherland. $name, will you help me?" [[Help her]] [[Get up and leave]]

It appears the murder weapon was the knife! [[Check the blood on the knife to see if any of it belongs to the killer]] [[Feel scared and sit there doing nothing and acting as a failure of a doctor when you were needed]]

You are scared. This doesn't make sense. However, it's okay. You have several options. [[Run out of the house and flee|Flee in shame]] [[Check the blood on the knife to see if any of it belongs to the killer]]

You go up to your room and grab a notepad. You borrow a pen from Colonel Mustard. You go to the kitchen. You call Viktor Jr. in. He seems nervous, you write that down. "Please, have a seat" you ask Viktor Jr. to take a seat, it will be a long day. "I cant do this anymore! I know, I am guilty! I should have done it but I had to. I killed him! I thought he wouldn't haunt me, but I hear him at night! I HEAR HIM!!!" "You killed Lord Sutherland?" you ask increduously. "What? Of course not! I thought you meant the last guy. Please don't tell Lorenza" Viktor Jr. looks like he's about to faint. "Okay, you may leave. I believe you" You write down on the notepad that it was porbably Viktor Jr. [[Question Lady Sutherland|Question Lady Sutherland first]]

You are scared. Do you want to leave? [[Leave|Flee in shame]] [[Stay|Help her]]

You can't find any of the killer's blood on it, but you pick up some fingerprints. When you determine the whose fingerprints are on the knife, you gasp loudly. The fingerprints belongs to Colonel Mustard! [[Confront Colonel Mustard]] [[Run away feeling scared|Flee in shame]]

You find Colonel Mustard eating mustard in the kitchen. "I know you killed Lord Sutherland" is your angry accusation. "I did nothing of the sort! How dare you accuse me" Colonel Mustard puts down his mustard. "I have evidence, I know it was you" "I was framed" "No you weren't" "You're right. I killed Lord Sutherland, he deserved to die! He was a horrible man, and I, I love Lady Sutherland. We were going to run away together, it was going to be beautiful" Colonel Mustrad breaks down into tears. "How did you think you could get away with it?" You ask curiously. "We were going to flee tonight" Colonel Mustard says through sobs. [[After the confession]]

"I am so sorry for your loss", you begin the conversation with Lady Sutherland. "Obviously, you aren't. If you were, then you wouldn't be questioning me" Lady Sutherland is aloof in her answers. "Can you please tell me about your husband?" "No. You knew him, I loved him. I"m leaving" Lady Sutherland walks out. [[Question Viktor Jr. next]]

I believe you" You write down on the notepad that it was porbably Viktor Jr. [[Compare notes with Lorenza]]

Lorenza walks in so that you can compare notes. You start the conversation: "I got nothing, how about you?" "I got something. None of them did it" She takes out her notes. "How do you know?" you are getting nervous. "Because... I DID IT! Lord Sutherland never liked me, and it was beginning to change Vikki's views on me. He wanted a divorce! I had to do something" she takes out a knife. "You thought this would help your marriage" you are trying to stall for time. "Of course! Vikki's killed people before" she steps closer. "Please, wait! You don't have to do this!" You have never felt this scared in your life. "I think I do." [[After you are murdered]]
