Heheheh... wouldn't it be ironic if whoever dies doesn't get stabbed.
For the sake of randomness... let's vte on who dies. I say it's... Lauren. She hasn't done anything this chapter, and she seems like the kind of person to cause a big ruckus when she dies. Then again, I can't think of anyone who would want to kill her...
Except Kate.
Of course.
Forgive the gratuitous spacing, I'm just building up the suspense for you, Ty.

tyler, any chance you can include me in one of the chapters i always feel left out when everyone gets written into a story except me but you dont have to You could be one of the extras who accidently finds his way to the mansion (probably because your car broke down), say a few lines about the strange mansion and the strange people in it (nothing of remote importance or interest) then we'll leave you alone to use the phone (so you can call somebody about your car) and then you'll die because you knew one of the residents from jail and you know all their dirty secrets. Of course your death would the most painful and brutal since you're the extra. Everybody isn't too shocked to find you, they put you with the other bodies and they forget your name. It's not very good to come in the middle of the murder mystery, just enjoy the story. Swans since Tyler is setting the story up nice and slowly, we'll be around a long time. He'll have to set it all up perfectly and have lots of instances where we just look at each other longingly from a distance before we do anything interesting. Hey Tiller, is somebody dying in the next chapter?

Swans- That's alot of information. (:
Brady- Sure! I have just the part for you, but it won't be for a couple of chapters.
Pandora- Yes, someone is going to die in the next chapter. I'm typing the story now, so chapter 3 should be up very very soon.

Hey Tiller, is somebody dying in the next chapter? Could I be one of those people, too? Except be more stupid and try to be all secretive and stalk the detective and everyone can be like, "who the heck is that? What a creep!" But then... scratch that. As for death order... I say Lauren first because everyone loves Lauren and it would be the most dramatic, then someone like Ann, then... Sam, and he'll die doing something humourous, and then Swans, then Pandora, because they'll die togetherish... like... people will be like, "OMG Swans is dead!" then hear a scream and Pandora will be dead and they'll all think it was suicide because her lover's gone, but it won't be, then whoever else, because I don't feel like actually reasoning it out. Tyler, I can't wait. This is cool. You should do a sequel... and it can be all... awesome. ;D

Chapter 3: Preparing For A Party
Dinner that night was silent. No one said a word. No one knew who put the knives everywhere in the house. Except for the person who did it. But that person wasn’t going to reveal themself easily.
Most people thought it was Kate. After all, she was the one who invited everyone to be here. But some people said that Ann did it, because that would be the kind of thing that she would do. And she admitted to it. But what if she was lying? Some people thought it was Tragedy, because he was in his room the entire time. Some people thought it was Sam, because no one saw him anywhere after he found the knife in the garbage can. Some people thought it was Chris, so he could flirt with Kate at the sink. A lot of people thought it was Zach, too. After all, Zach was the one found with a knife in his pocket. But that led up to the fact that Kate was the one who found it there. Then again, some people thought it was Pandora, because she was wandering the mansion alone. Some people thought it was Jessica who did it, for she was the one who served dinner, so she could have possibly put the knife in Chris’ bowl. And very few people thought it was Tyler. He might have done it for attention, but Tyler wasn’t smart enough to concoct such a plan.
“Well, I have good news.” Kate spoke up. “I’m going to have a party tonight in the ballroom. And I need people to help me set it up.”
“Hold on a minute.” Jessica said. “I don’t want to have any party until I know that there aren’t any more knives in this house.”
Sam stood up. “Yeah, I don’t want to be dancing knowing that I could step on a knife at any second.”
Kate sighed. “Listen to me, dammit. I didn’t put those knives all over the house, okay? No matter what you think, no matter how many times you magee at me about it, the truth will never change. I didn’t put those knives all over the house.”
A nerve formed in Sam’s neck. Then it seemed to settle down. “Alright. I believe you. ...For now, anyways.”
Everyone turned back to their dinner.
“I’m not really hungry.” Tyler said.
Kate looked at him. “Why?”
“I dunno... I just lost my appetite, I guess...” He said, looking down at his dinner.
“Oh.” Kate said. “Well, I’m sorry it’s not good enough for you.”
“It’s not that,” Tyler mumbled. “It’s just... Oh, never mind... I need some time to myself for a moment...” And with that, he stood up and walked out of the room. Everyone watched him leave.
“That was weird.” Ann remarked.
“He’s probably going to go hide some more knives.” Tragedy said.
“Oh, I agree with you, honey.” Jessica said, stroking Tragedy’s chin. “I believe you 100%.”
“But I don’t think Tyler did it.” Tragedy said. “I think it was- Pandora!”
“What?!” Pandora said, glaring at him. “Why in hell would you suspect me?!”
“Because,” Tragedy said. “You were gone for a period of time. Everyone else was either in the kitchen or with Kate. You weren’t with either.”
“I got lost.” Pandora said.
“She’s telling the truth.” Kate said. “I bumped into her in the hallway. She was, as she said, lost.”
“What do you mean?! Tragedy is always right!” Jessica said.
“That’s right.” Tragedy said. “That’s because I’m Mr. Cool.”
Ann giggled. “Oh, Tragedy. You’re so silly!”
“I think I’m going to go and prepare for the party tonight.” Kate said, rising.
“I’ll help you.” Lauren said, standing up and stretching.
“I guess I’ll go, too.” Pandora said.
And together, the trio walked out of the kitchen and into the ballroom.
~~~~~~~~~~
Tyler walked into his room and sighed. He dropped himself onto his bed. “I’m so tired...” He moaned. “I should go to sleep... Dinner was pathetic... Made me sick... Must scream at Kate... Or Chris... Or Sam...”
Tyler fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~
Kate, Lauren and Pandora walked into the ballroom. It was a huge room with lots of couches, a big screen TV and pictures of Stephen Merritt everywhere. The ceiling was low, though, which was a surprise, because it was so large.
“Lauren, can you help me with the snacks?” Kate asked. “They’re in the closet over their.” She pointed to it.
“Okay.” Lauren said, walking over to the closet. She opened it up and brought all the snacks to a huge table. It took her several trips to get all the snacks. There were cookies, brownies, chips, soda, coffee- “Coffee?” Lauren asked Kate curiously.
“Oh yeah... the coffee. It’s for people who drink it.”
Lauren shrugged and continued to observe the rest of the snacks.
Kate walked over to a corner of the room to a ladder on wheels. Kate, with a sign in her hands that read “P-A-R-T-Y” climbed the ladder, pushed off the wall and went flying against the other wall. As soon as it stopped, Kate pulled out six tacks from her pocket, hung the sign up as straight as she could and stabbed areas of the sign with the tacks so it would stay. Kate climbed down the ladder. She wiped sweat off her forehead.
Pandora glared at her for a moment, then turned her attention to the five people walking in the door: Tragedy, Zach, Ann, Chris and Jessica. Suddenly, Pandora had to go to the bathroom. “Kate,” she whispered, running next to her. “Where is the nearest bathroom?”
Kate blinked. “You sound like Tiller. Very well, dahling. It’s down the hall, the third door on your left. You can’t miss it. It has the sign “bathroom” written on it.”
“Thanks.” Pandora said, and began running to the bathroom, as her bladder was about to burst.
“Where’s Sam?” Lauren asked the crowd that just came in.
“We don’t know.” Chris said.
“And we don’t care.” Ann mumbled.
“The last time we saw him was at dinner, then he unexpectedly got up and left.” Zach said.
“Hum.” Lauren whispered to herself. “I wonder where he could have gone...”
“In the meantime,” Kate said, changing the subject abruptly. “Zach, Chris- could you two go to get some wood from the wood room right over there! Thanks, dahlings.”
Zach and Chris obeyed. They walked into the wood room where the wood was kept. Kate was planning to have the fireplace lit up for the first time.
“Oh, Tragedy, sweety.” Jessica said. She was stroking Tragedy’s chin. “How I would love to get personal with you.” Then she purred.
Ann rolled her eyes. “Get a life.” She said. “Ugh. I’m so bored.”
“Why don’t you go and find Tyler?” Lauren asked, overhearing Ann. “He’s supposed to be here, but he’s not...”
Ann sighed. “I suppose.”
Then she walked out of the room.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sam opened the door to Tyler’s bedroom. He opened it very quietly and then screamed- “Boo!” Then he frowned. Tyler wasn’t in the bedroom. “Where could he be?”
Sam ventured down the hallway. He was looking for Lauren. He needed to tell her something that he hadn’t told her before.
“Lauren’s room has to be down this way somewhere...”
And soon, he got lost.
~~~~~~~~~~
Tyler walked into his bedroom. He had just come from the bathroom. He wanted to wash his face. He had heard that if he washed his face once a night for once a month, his pimples would vanish.
“Why is my door open?” He thought aloud. He walked backwards into someone, and gasped. “Oh! Ann! You scared me!”
Ann blinked. “Don’t I always?”
“No...” Tyler said unsurely.
The two started walking back to the party room.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sam was walking down the hall. “Crap,” he said. “This isn’t good.”
Suddenly, a giant pink rabbit tackled him.
“What the-?!” Sam began.
The pink rabbit on top of him pulled something out of it’s pocket.
‘Pocket?’ Sam thought. ‘This is no giant rabbit, this some weirdo dressed up as a pink rabbit doing something nasty-‘
Sam felt his shoe being pulled off. He tried to stop the pink rabbit from doing whatever it was going to do, but he felt a sharp pain in his foot, and everything around him blacked out.
~~~~~~~~~~
Tyler was sitting by the swan fountain on the steps. Ann had ran ahead and now he was hopelessly lost. He walked down the mansion’s stairway, towards the bottom, and walked by- something slammed into him and knocked him on the floor.
“Oh, I’m so sorry!” Pandora said, walking out of the bathroom.
“It’s okay.” Tyler said, standing up. “Er- do you know where the party room is?”
“Follow me.”
When Tyler and Pandora walked into the party room, Kate just began speaking. “Well everyone, lets, er, um... Party, and I’ll put in some Magnetic Field music...”
Lauren ran over to a closet to get more snacks out, and screamed as, after she opened the door, the dead body of Sam was there, staring at her....And someone finally dies! The killer idea, a pink bunny, well... Comment on that... The List:Ann Tyler Zach Chris Kate Tragedy Lauren Pandora SamJessica So, who do YOU think the killer is? Be ready for chapter 4...

Aw Sam died first, did anyone suspect that? That pink bunny thing is strange. And silly. I think you did it Tyler, since you're writing the story and trying to make yourself look all innocent.

We better not be going in that direction. I think Tyler was referencing a Magnetic Fields song. So hey Tyler, do the songs hold clues to the killer? You should write the story that way! There's a Magnetic Field song which has a pink bunny in it?! If there is, it has no relation to the story, and the songs won't give you hints, either. Sorry. ):

Zach=the killer. And why am I always rubbing Tragedy's chin? That's really weird-- STOP WRITING THAT! HAHAHA. I don't think it's weird. I think it's hilarious YAY! I'm MR. COOL Except... I accused Pandora in the story. That wasn't so cool of me.

No it wasn't cool of you. Do you think it's easy for me when I've got that whole deep love for Swan's and you're there acting cute and being mean to me? The answer is no it's not easy. Pity me.
