Looks good, Fawn! I like it.

I do have a question though, regarding the timeline.

What is going to be posted first? I know we have the countdown in the cbox, but what is it counting down to? Am I posting Ottersplash's vision then? Or is the body discovery going to be posted then?

[Fawn]

It's actually counting down to the sign-ups/plot announcement!

The actual event will start when Ottersplash receives his vision, which is...September 20th, so a bit before the Medicine Cat meeting?

Let me know if that's correct, Hellion !

[Hellion]

Fawn is correct. The count down is for the sign ups!

and the posted timeline is correct. ottersplash will just need to have that vision. (as a prp and we will link it in the main murder mystery thread.

A body has been found.

The body of an enormous mottled cat looks like a pile of leaves floating on the water's surface. The black-and-tan-and-gray fur is plastered to the muscular build of a tom, well over his prime but not yet retirement age. His eyes are closed, muzzle left ajar as if he had died in surprise. Bloody teeth marks on the back of his neck are the only indication that there is foul play.

What did it? The river has washed away any other scent but the victim's. It's hard to say if he tried to escape into the river, or if he was put there on purpose.

A RainClan cat, he deserves a warrior's burial. There are questions on every cat's mind as they pull the body—heavy with dead weight and water in the long, thick fur—up onto the banks.

Who did this? And more importantly, why?

The Clues

A single bite to the back of the cat's neck.

Teeth marks indicate that it was a cat, though only a medicine cat would properly be able to tell.

The cat appears to have been surprised, suggesting an ambush. There is dirt under the victim's claws, but this tells little.

What Now?

RainClan is arguably shocked by the victim's death, and family members have to be alerted. Can you identify the victim? (hint: check the RainClan ranks page and see if the description matches!) Will your cat be the one to break the news to them?

Can your cat figure out what happened?

A max of 3 cats can discover the victim, then bring the body back to camp. After this is done, anyone can join in and post their character's reactions. Feel free to start multiple threads discussing this.

The poll will go up 24 hours from now. You will be tagged.

The event is live~! I will close the poll either when everyone who has signed up for it has voted, or 48 hours have passed. ^^

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fxbiOi4dWo6P1nr70pJFerXONoxhL927cL5IVPE4LEc/edit?usp=sharing

Here are the results thus far!

and now, while we are all together:

1) Who should the next victim be?
2) Who should the next killer be?
3) How were they killed? Any major clues we should leave?

I think it would be interesting to say which cat got the most votes would be the killer the next time.

As for who to die anyone related to Razorstar or Timberstar?


Edit:

A major clue could be a scrap of fur stuck in some bramble near the body. And in theory could be killers or victims

Chronology of Events

Vultureback's Body was Discovered. HERE

The Body was brought back to Camp. HERE

The Poll for Victim #1 went up for 48 Hours. HERE

4 members guessed correctly that it was Leopardyowl!

A Coin was tossed to decide the 50/50 chance to catch him in the act, and it landed on tails (success!).

Bluewave has sent a party of four cats (two whose RPers guessed correctly, two whose RPers guessed incorrectly) to question Swanfeather about the body.

Instead of reaching the Wooded Cove, however, the party will find Leopardyowl attacking Fishleap, with a dead Duckquack lying nearby. The party has the choice to apprehend Leopardyowl or chase him out of the territory. HERE

Leopardyowl has been apprehended.

Glowflower's Body was discovered HERE

The Poll for Victim #2 has gone up HERE

The next TWO bodies will appear Monday the 10th.

Updated!

Who should our next two victims be? I think, to throw off the pattern, it should be Leopardyowl again if he is turned into a rogue.

Another scene of carnage unfolds.

The tranquility of the Willow Stream has been shattered. The body of a pretty pale ginger and white tabby lies cooling since dawn, with obvious signs of battle in the torn clumps of fur and drops of scarlet drying on the grass blades.

The scents of Vinestripe, Shadefrost, Lotuswhisker and Surgeclaw are all around the scene, though it's hard to tell which scents are old and which scents are new.

She died fighting, but her opponent must have been older and more experienced, as well as unafraid to attack a Clanmate in seemingly cold blood. There is a blood-trail leading from the Willow Stream to the Wooded Cove, with tracks that indicate a limping cat. Is this left by the killer or another victim, struggling to escape?

The Clues

Clumps of ginger fur, pale fur, white fur and dark fur found in the water.

The fur belongs to either the killer or the victim's, but which is which?

Blood trail leading to the Wooded Cove. Find the injured cat, find the killer? Or is there more to the story?

What Now?

RainClan is arguably shocked by the victim's death, and family members have to be alerted. Can you identify the victim? (hint: check the RainClan ranks page and see if the description matches!) Will your cat be the one to break the news to them?

Can your cat figure out what happened?

=) This look good? I'll post it tomorrow~ I will add a bit about Leopardyowl being imprisoned in RainClan's camp before I post though. Just wanted to do a quick mock-up so we're all on the same page.
