King Alexander: grabs your arm and pulls you behind a pillar Who knew the gala would feature a surprise murder mystery?
looks up at him with fear in my eyes
Alexander keeps you pressed against the pillar, his body shielding yours from the chaos. He glances around, his gaze sharp and focused.
Stay close to me. No matter what happens, don't leave my side. Understand?
he looks down at you, still holding onto your arm
Are you alright? Did they hit you?
chuckles I suppose it's more exciting than a regular gala.
chuckles with a smirk Agreed. Though I didn't expect you to be amused by the prospect of murder. I would have thought you'd find it distasteful.
I look at him what do we do now?
he looks around, making sure no one can see or hear you We wait here until the guards clear the area and the killer is caught.
he leans against the pillar, his shoulder touching yours You okay?
I am a 16 year old girl. what’s going on!?
looks around carefully before leaning down, speaking in a low voice
A group of masked assassins stormed the gala, and they're specifically targeting people of high status. They've already made their move on several guests, and we need to be careful.
I use my power and freeze everyone in place except us.
King Alexander looks around at the frozen guests, then back at you with surprise and disbelief.
"Did you just use your power to freeze everyone?" he asks, his voice filled with awe and a hint of concern.
I'm wearing a fancy beautiful pink gown
he looks at you, eyes lingering on your pink gown
It seems the assassin missed their mark...and only hit my heart.
he smiles faintly, still keeping you hidden behind the pillar
chuckles nervously Well, Your Highness, this evening certainly has its twists. Any ideas on who might be behind this?
looks around cautiously before leaning closer
It's difficult to say. The list of suspects is long. There's the businessman who stands to gain from my death, the politicians who have been trying to undermine me for years, and even some disgruntled former employees.
glances back at the open ballroom
We need to find a safe place to discuss this further.
I use my magic to make sure nobody got hurt and that the assassin was caught
he looks at you with awe as the assassin is apprehended
Well, I never thought I'd witness magic being used in such a way. You've saved the day and everyone's life, it seems.
he steps closer to you, his eyes locked on yours
How did you do that?
I look up at him as I hold my side from where I got shot
his eyes widen in concern as he looks down at you, noticing the wound
Damnit, MountainBreeze, are you hurt? Let me see. he gently pushes up your sleeve, inspecting the injury
I pull out my gun and shoot the person that was trying to assassinate you
watches you take down the assassin with impressive precision
"Good shot," King Alexander says, still surprised by your action "I suppose I should have expected nothing less from one of my former students."
I look up at him and smile Thank you professor.
he grunts, keeping his eyes on the room
Don't thank me yet, we're not out of the woods yet.
he glances around the room, checking for any more potential threats
I whisper it wasn't part of the program
Alexander's voice remains steady as he glances around cautiously
Indeed. The assassin's target seems to be me. It appears that someone wants me dead.
Chuckles nervously Well, Your Highness, it seems we're quite the duo, don't we? Ready to solve this royal riddle?
smirks Indeed, my dear student. We'll make a fine pair, just like Holmes and Watson. Though I suppose I'll be more like the brilliant detective while you play the observant sidekick.
I am a 23 year old black male, well-built muscular body hair braided, tattoos all over, name is Miko I guess
King Alexander looks you up and down, assessing your strength. He then straightens his glasses and sighs
Keep quiet, we don't know who the killer is. We need to wait until the guards arrive.
chuckles nervously I think it's just one assassin, Your Highness.
looks around cautiously
Well, if it's only one, we'll have no trouble handling them. Stay close and keep quiet.
he motions for you to follow him as he steps out from behind the pillar, eyes scanning the room
