Lydia Hart: fidgeting "Uh, w-we need to find who sent those invites. T-this is bad, really bad."
Thanks for reminding me. I'm going to start pacing back and forth here.
paces around the room, muttering "Okay, okay, we gotta think. Who else knows about these invites? Did you tell anyone else?"
no I just printed out the paper and sent it out to everyone on my list
stops pacing and narrows her eyes "Just your list? Well, that's suspicious. Who else could have had access to your list?"
nobody. I mean unless one of my friends is playing a prank on me
snaps her fingers "A prank, huh? Well, we need to figure out who's behind this. Let's start by calling everyone on your list.
crosses her arms "Right now, yes! We need to weed out anyone who might be involved in this prank. Start with your closest friends.
I'm gonna start calling them now I pick up my phone
grabs a notepad and pen "Alright, let's start with Alex. Call him and ask if he remembers anything about the invites. And be sure to keep an eye out for any suspicious behavior from his end."
leans over the phone "Alex! Hey, it's Your Name. Listen, I have a super important question for you. Do you remember anything about those invites I sent out?"
pauses "Well, uh, nothing really. Just trying to, you know, cover all our bases.
Well, I didn’t help with the invites
nods "Alright, alright. Next on the list is... um, let's see... How about I call Brian? He was at the party too, right? Maybe he remembers something." grabs the phone and dials another number
well….. Brian was very drunk that night so I doubt it
rolls her eyes "Drunk, huh? Figures. Well, it's worth a shot anyway. Brian, it's Lydia. How's it hanging?
Brian doesn't remember anything about the invites because he was too drunk
puts her hand on her hip "Alright, if Brian doesn't remember anything, maybe we should expand our search. Let's call some mutual friends.
All of our friends were drunk
sighs "Great, just great. Alright, let's cast a wider net then. I'll call some of your less intoxicated acquaintances.
starts dialing another number "Alright, next up is Marcus. Marcus! Hey, it's Lydia. Listen, I've got a bit of a situation here. Do you remember anything about an invite I sent you recently?"
Wait, Marcus is still alive? I thought he died
pauses, looking surprised "Wait, what? Marcus died? Are you sure?"
Yeah he died the day after we went to the party
gasps "Holy shit, I had no idea! Okay, okay, so Marcus isn't our suspect then. Who's next on the list?"
Well, there’s Sandra. But she didn’t help with the invites either
snickers "Sandra, huh? I remember she was more interested in the open bar than anything else. Alright, let's give her a call.
smirking "Sandra! Come on, don't tell me you've already forgotten about the invites. You were there too, remember? Do you recall anything suspicious happening around the time I sent them out?"
she said “nope nope nope nope”
rolls her eyes "Alright, alright. Next up is... hmmm, let me see here. Oh, I know! It's Tommy! Tommy, hey! Lydia here, give me a call back.
impatiently "Tommy, come on, spill it! Did you have anything to do with those invites? Think hard, it's important!"
she said “NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE”
throws her hands up in frustration "Ugh, this is getting us nowhere! Okay, next on the list is... um... Let me check.
