HelpAri's Murder Mystery CAF #10
Sorry for taking forever - I had COVID (for the very first time! in April 2024!) and was violently ill haha
Welcome to THE NIGHTINGALE'S NEST cher529s, esteemed guest. Enjoy your stay. Try not to get killed.
THE HOST Lord August Wulfstan Hastings, 7th Earl of Ashbourne Amoret
THE HOSTESS Lady Xanthe Rosmunda Hastings ishild
THE DUCHESS Her Grace Agnes Lucrezia Grenville, Duchess of Somerset WillowBelle
THE DUKE His Grace Hadrian Antinous Grenville, Duke of Somerset Wordsmith
THE SOCIALITE Zahra bint Ismaael al Su'ud aPerson
THE ACTIVIST Miss Prudence Margaux Yeats Wordsmith
THE APOLOGIST Mr. Zebulon "Zeb" Dexter Davis IV MasonThursday
THE HUNTER Sir Victor "Frankie" Devereaux Finch, Baronet MasonThursday
When Frankie Finch and Hadrian Grenville were at Eton, they shared a youthful dalliance. They were discovered, and Frankie summarily put the blame on Hadrian (as suggested by AnonymousNameNerd123) to save his skin, deriding him as a devious seducer. Hadrian was expelled, but his family connections ensured his name wouldn't get dragged through the mud.
Frankie and Hadrian never met again - till the gathering at The Nightingale's Nest. Frankie has spent his entire life running away from his past. He's doing it right now. And the past he's running away from is The Honourable _______ _______ .
_______ and Frankie met on a safari in British East Africa, and became entangled. But something caused Frankie to leave suddenly, leaving _______ alone. No matter - she followed him right back to England, and secured an invitation to The Nightingale's Nest (not a particularly difficult feat - she is the daughter of a viscount and a war hero).
_______ is, on the surface, well-mannered and soft-spoken. But there is more than a hint of mischief behind her facade. She loves love, and she loves to be loved. Not usually by the same man for long, mind you. She is a conquistadora, conquering heart after heart. She gets what she wants. And if Frankie doesn't give it to her, she's more than willing to expose what happened on safari.
The Honourable _______ _______ _______
First name: a femme fatale from mythology or classic literature.
Middle name: a Byzantine Empress https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_and_Byzantine_empresses#Later_eastern_empresses_(457–1439)
Surname: a town in Normandy.
BONUS (optional, just for fun - I may or may not take inspiration): What happened in East Africa?

(Does Morgana/Morgen/Morrigan Le Fay count as a femme fatale??) 😅
(ETA: Glad you're feeling better, btw! You haven't been to any dinner parties with ethically dubious folks who could have introduced the virus to your system as a way to mURDER YOU, have you???) 👀

The Honourable Inanna Martina Lisieux
While in East Africa, a love triangle unfolded between her, Frankie, and another gentleman in their party. For her, it was all fun and games, but the two men took it a fair bit more seriously. One evening, she was awakened by the sound of a rather loud confrontation between the two. She went to investigate, but before she made it to the scene, a gunshot rang out. When she and the others arrived, one of the two men had a bullet in his head, and it was not the Baronet. Frankie swore his fellow hunter had committed suicide, and he was merely trying to talk him down. The rest of their party seemed convinced, but Inanna had her own theories-especially after Frankie left in such a haste the very next morning.

The Honourable Cleopatra Anastasia Saint-Lo
While in East Africa, Cleopatra and Frankie, while on the surface playfully in love, had issues. He was a harsh and free lover, demanding and insensitive to her while sharing his pleasures with other young women. Cleopatra had enough one night, and threatened to expose him if he continued his uncouth and violent behavior. He subsequently threatened to expose the nature of their relationship to her father and the suitors he attempted to pair her with. However, she topped this with the exposure of his Scandal at Eton, causing him to pack up in a hurry the next morning on the excuse of illness or some sort. Cleopatra will not let him get away so easily, she has come to negotiate on her terms.
