Mr. Kelley Bonds by nutmegsims. The Antiques Collector.

_____

Have a seat.

“Noo thank you. Have you seen the upholstery on this thing, it’s definitely 15th century for sure.”

You just pulled that date out of nowhere.

“I am the antique collector. Not you, so hush detective.”

I mean, it doesn’t even make any sense-

“Is that an indent? Who was sitting here before?”

Pretty much everyone.

“You let people sit in an antique? It’s value went down by at least 5 percent!”

 Calm down, Mr. Bonds. I want to know what brought you to this neck of the woods.

“Mr. Sandoval’s daughter is marrying my brother, sir. Of course I’d be invited to the announcement dinner. It’d be crass not to invite me.”

Do you know why anyone would want to kill the duchess?

“Money, glory, fame, for fun? Beats me. I fail to see why she was even there to begin with. Mr. Sandoval is rich, but not important. At least not out of gossip circles. Especially not important enough to have a duchess show up at his dinner party.”

That is all. You may leave.

“Don’t let anyone else sit in that chair, it’s worth a fortune!”

Oskaar Stallone by ( pleigasims). The Cook.

______

Do you have any witness that could corroborate your story?

“Ask anyone at this party, how else did they get their food?” 

Why were you the only cook tonight? Aren’t there usually several?

“Mr. Sandoval is a cheap bastard. Don’t tell him I said that. But really, he’d rather pay only one cook even if he has to serve 30 men.”

Has he done that to you? I mean, make you cook for 30 men alone?

“Yes, one time. The maid and Mr. Thompson were scrambling to help me. It was a disaster.”

So, why would you kill the duchess?

“I wouldn’t.”

Leona Krause by scentedfirechild. Horse Master.

____

“Excuse me, what does a horse master do exactly? I’d like to know more about my character.”

They’re basically in charge of taking care of the horses. Grooming, feeding and the like.

“Oh, I had no idea Mr. Sandoval had horses. Will there be any real horses for this?”

Probably not. But, I see what you’re doing. You have guilt written plainly across your face! You’re trying to distract me from asking the hard hitting questions.

“N-no! That’s not it at all! Those were real questions!”

Uh-huh. Where were you at the time of the duchess’ murder? You weren’t in the room with the others.

“I was uh, tending to the horses!”

Uh? You don’t sound so confident.

Rafael Smallwood by blythelyre. The business man. 

____

Why would Mr. Sandoval invite a business man to his party? It seems rather odd.

“I’m a business man? Hell yeah.”

Rafael, the question and stay in character.

“Fine fine...It’s not odd that Mr. Sandoval would invite me to the party. He’s my father’s good friend. Ever since my fatherpassed away, Mr. Sandoval has treated me like his own son.”

I know of your relationship with Mr. Sandoval, it’s the relationship with his daughter that I question. Wasn’t it you who was supposed to marry her?

“What of it? That has nothing to do with the duchess.”

Doesn’t it?

“You’re going to have to be frank with me, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

In character Rafael. NEVER break character, or your contract with the Bro Show will be terminated. 

“Jeez, who hired you as the detective?” 

Zayne Thompson by dandylion240. The Butler to Mr. Sandoval’s estate. 

_____

“I said, I didn’t do it.”

It’s always the butler. You have access to places that others don’t.

“It’s not ALWAYS the butler. That’s a crude assumption.”

You certainly have a mean streak...

“OH DO NOT BRING THAT BC INTO THIS.”

I’m just saying, you’re an angry person. Maybe something she did set you over the edge.

“I’d lose my job. You’d have to be an idiot to kill a duchess.”

Where’s your accent? Butlers should have accents.

“Not this butler. You’re lucky I’m even here to begin with.”

Mr. Dallas Huntington by francothecitysimmer. Reporter for the Sims Times.

_____

“This is preposterous, I didn’t kill anybody. And a duchess of all people? What kind of person do you think I am?” 

Somebody looking for a story. When the well is dry you need to go somewhere else for your story, right?

“So you’re saying I killed a woman just to write about it?” 

Money talks.

“I hold myself in a much higher esteem, sir. I’m here because Mr. Sandoval invited me for a dinner party to celebrate his daughter’s engagement.” 

And he’d invite the duchess for that?

“He didn’t invite her, she stopped by to get shelter from the storm.”

Mr. Remy Sandoval by ( phyrcracker93), owner of the estate.

_____

Why did you kill the duchess?

“Oh, on the contraire my friend. I would never kill the duchess. Why invite her to my estate if that was the intention?”

Murder seems like a good reason to invite someone over. Don’t you? With eleven other guests, you had the perfect opportunity to pin it on anyone.

“And get blood on my hand sewn carpet? Do you know how much that cost? It was an antique. It wasn’t even insured.”

I don’t think insurance for household items was a thing back then.

“It could have been, do you have proof?”

Not really, no.

“Then you sir, are as crazy as my wife. Poor Sora, she’s a darling, but she’s just not all there since the accident, you know with her eye. Are you sure she didn’t do it?”

Sora in the background: You’ve got to be kidding me! There is a very real reason I wear this eye patch, don’t you dare bring it into this stupid party game! And, you’re the worst husband. I want a divorce.

“It was totally improper to get divorces during this time my dear.” 

But insurance?

Lady Sora Darkheart by lynekosims. Wife to the owner of the estate. 

_____

Tell me, why did you kill the duchess?

“Is it wise to be saying who died before this even begins?”

It’s a hired actress, so it doesn’t really matter. None of you twelve have died...yet. It depends on how fast you find the killer.

“Yawn, this is tiring. Can I leave now?”

You just got here my lady. Try talking more victorian. We didn’t dress you like that for no reason. It’s a murder mystery party.

“And I was invited, why? This outfit is terrible. And my hair, watcher, my hair. It’s terrible. And why do I have to be married to HIM of all people?”

Your name was on the list next to wife, all I do is ask the questions. See that eyepatch you’re wearing, I like it. Why don’t we say that you were in some sort of terrible accident, so you’re bitter? It adds to the angry wife thing you’ve got going on.
