Welcome to the 69th Muppet Family Reunion! (Plus Extended Family)

[themuppeteers]

[You received the invitation for the Muppet Family Reunion about a week ago. These reunions have become a routine thing for you and the extended Muppet Family. Whether it be by plane, car, cave tunnel, or magic, you made your way to Emily Bear's house and settled in for the night. Emily Bear was nowhere in sight to greet you, but, surely that's nothing to be worried about.

However, upon waking up, you'll find that a fierce blizzard has descended upon the house overnight--several feet of snow have piled up on the front porch, and, from the looks of it, the snow won't let up anytime soon. Not to mention the fact that Emily is still not here.

Something feels wrong, but you can't quite put your finger on it.

You may notice a small note pinned to the wall where you slept, which reads:]

COME TO LIVING ROOM AT NOON FOR IMPORTANT FAMILY MEETING :)
[Whatever this meeting is about, you have some time to explore the house and chat with the other people gathered here.]

(ooc: Welcome to the Muppet Murder Hour mock trial week! The host NPC will show up around 5 pm est. Until then, feel free to explore the house and interact with everyone else!)

Uh, excuse me.

[Dickens is just standing at the bottom of the stairs, watching with an air of disapproval and judgement.]

Those are the background props, they're just there to take up space. You're not supposed to be drawing attention to them. You're going to make the audience confused about what the focus of the narrative is if you keep it up.

...and what is the focus of the narrative?

[you. you’re intriguing.]

[tobeginwith]

You know, I don't want to spoil the whole twist or anything, but I'm pretty sure it's got to do with murder. It just seems like that sort of setup.

[Of course there's also the fact that the author's name is Muppets Murder Hour Mods Account but he doesn't go around telling characters about those things.]

[biggerbadge]

Murder, you say. How very interesting. That must be why the snow has piled up outside, as part of the murderer’s foul plot!

[tobeginwith]

That's exactly what I was thinking! A classic way to trap a bunch of characters in one place. Classic bordering on cliche, if you ask me.
