Here be the murder mystery! These characters each have a separate secret as to why they're there, and their motives. Keep track yourself, and deside who the murderer is by Halloween! Here we go!

The night air was promising for a new tale. The birds made clouds go across the sky as they rode on the wind. Thunder rolled along in the distance, lighting flashed fifteen minutes away, the air now growing heavy and sticky. The grasses were amassed like a thick sea in the countryside, a car speeding down the highway. Powerlines glinted off of the windows, tinted to prevent the sun, but now not needed two hours after the sun had set.

The car turned down a dirt road, speeding still. If cops had followed the silver-white Jaguar from the LA route it had taken, the alien driving would have been in the slammer by midnight. Trees began to be seen, each having a distinct shadow from the moon's now half visible light and the car's headlights.

Inside, the alien man driving, now near twenty, was wearing a bright white tux over white fur and sapphire eyes, obviously pressing on the gas pedal. Despite his short size and stature, he could see over the wheel just fine. On one hand was an electric veined glove and his feet were clothed in his usual boots of white, yellow, and blue.

This man was a hedgehog Fictorian named TLSoulDude.

" Man, I hope we're not late . . ." he murmured.

The girl sitting beside him in the passenger seat was gripping the door and her seat with fright. She had long black hair, wore a lighter tinted purple dress and had a sash over shoulders, now moved behind her head dead center from leaning down in her seatbelt. Her facew spoke of pure terror.

" If you keep speeding we WILL be," she said.

" No, we're not," TL said.

" I hardly bet anyone else is there now . . ." Hanabi said sitting up as TL slowed. " Besides, we've been going down this road for ten minutes now and I still don't see anything . . ."

" Hanabi?"

" What?"

" Look ahead . ."

" Huh?" She cocked her head to a 90 degree angle. " Oh my . . ."

Dead set ahead was a large mansion, Victorian aged and quadrupal-floored. The porch had small amounts of chipping white paint and pure white columns, second floor had shutter windows, third and fourth floors had regular modern day windows, and around back was a large garden and hedge maze. A circular driveway with already a few vehicles, and one large flying craft with flowers and a breaklock on the steering wheel.

TL pulled up, still in astonishment.

" So this is the place DP picked for a five year weekend reunion? Dang it!" he laughed as he parked and got out. " Some reward!"

" My reward is living through your driving . . ." Hanabi sighed deeply.

TL opened the trunk and got their bags out. " You gotta admit Hanabi, this place is beast!" he said closing the trunk.

Hanabi sighed and took her bag. " Good point, and is that a rubber chicken?"

TL laughed nervously and tucked it into his bag. " That'snothing,okaylet'sgoin!" he grabbed her arm and pulled her up to the porch as another Author arrived on a motorcycle.

The suave man wore his helmet on half loose as he skidded to a halt by the porch. He kicked down the kickstand and turned off the bike. He was wearing a deep black tux, flowers not required, and placed the keys in his pocket. He removed his helmet and revealed brown hair and deeper brown eyes. He walked up the steps of the porch as other Authors arrived.

" Hey Ranger, cool ride!" TL said.

" That reminds me," Ranger stopped, then clicked his keys for the bike, making it beep twice. " That was installed to make sure Nukid doesn't take it for another damned spin . . . three days here means three more times he can ruin my hog . . ."

TL and Hanabi backed off as Ranger entered.

" Well, that does make sense . . ." TL said. " Nukid DID once take his ship . . . . and his hog."

" Watch it!" a British inside yelled.

" OUCH!"

" Hey!"

" OFF!"

TL and Hanabi entered. " OKAY! NOBODY MOVE AND It's X and that gay blonde kid again."

" I am NOT gay!" Haru Tsunami yelled. His blonde hair was gelled back, odder than his mullet, yet his comeover was wearing a dark green suit, gemstone of the Earth around his neck, and XProdigy was on top of his back, flat on his own in his black tux. " Besides, he fell on me."

" I was trying to kill him for accusing me of being a rubbish-spewing Brit!"

" That's how I see all brits . . ."

" You and my brother both . . ." TL sighed.

A newer thought then occured.

" HOW DID YOU END UP HERE?" TL waved his arms and legs rapidly.

" Oh, it's not just me!" Haru said. " The rest of the gang's around somewhere! Mirasuka and the girls are in the ba-"

" OH no, NOT what I meant! I meant HOW did YOU get HERE!" TL yelled again.

" I - I invited them," Kitten whimpered from the door to the main room, which from where Haru and X were now standing was extravagantly beautiful with purple carpets, a few couches, a large chair, coffee table, and a fireplace. Pictures were on the walls.

" Kitten?" X asked.

" Not getting involved . . ." Ranger said and went through the same doorway Kitten was as another few Authors were heard in the kitchen.

" I invited them, seemed fair," she said stepping forward in a light blue dress, short sleeved, and her hair down for a change . . . but the silver-white mesh swept past her feet. " I figured I could . . ."

" Kitty . . ." TL said stunned.

" Yes?"

" Rebraid that monster and we have a deal . . . no WONDER you have that braided!" TL freaked and ran into the other room, past Kitty.

" TL!" Hanabi yelped taking her bag with her.

TL got in as a fuming MistressofDawn passed him in a moonlight colored dress, brown hair curled and scars covered by coverup, Jiro following her in a wonderous tux and his hair was gelled back. Wolzar barked after her.

" Wonder what that was all about . . ."

" Wasn't me then!" Phoenix said sitting nearby and next to DJ and his girlfriend Kurumu.

DJ was still wearing his cloak and had his scythe, but that was normal for the Reaper Apprentice. His dark brown hair was brushed in his tux. Kurumu had her light blue hair straight and was wearing a white dress, easy of details near her left shoulder. Phoenix was still wearing her gauntlet as she looked over at the hedgehog. She had on a red dress, silk like, and her brown hair was up in a bun.

" You clean up nice, spunky!" TL laughed.

" OH VERY funny," Phoenix said ticked.

A male voice nearby laughed as well. D-Dude was wearing a flower around his wrist despite teh fact he couldn't wear a tux with his dragonsaur body. His feathers on his arms ruffled.

" Hey bro! You got here safe!" TL said.

" Not only him," Kurumu giggled.

A girl with shoulder-length hair, green eyes like the sea, and wearing a blue dress came in. " Hey TL! Hanabi! It's good that you two made it!"

Southern accented syren Meredith.

" Meredith, hey!" TL laughed.

" Yep," D-Dude sighed as she sat beside him.

" You miss me?" she asked cutely.

" Oh nah . . . ." D-Dude laughed.

The two nuzzled close.

" Aww . . . and kinda eww," Phoenix said.

" She's a siren!" Haru laughed butting in from the door.

" And I can vouch for that!" Scorpion Ryukoi laughed coming in as well. The dragon boy, how in his emo looking human form, was wearing a dark purple tuxedo, red rose on his shoulder, and his Darkness gemstone around his neck.

" YEAH!" the two high fived.

" ONe I can deal with, TWO is where I draw the line!" TL yelled and ran after them. " GET BACK HERE YOU IMMATURE BRATS!"

" He's the one who's not mature . . ." the blonde rubber Nukid laughed as he walked down the stairs. " Coming from me, that's- " he said, falling down the stairs asleep. He was definitely more of himself today. More so than normal.

" Okay, Nukid asleep, TL chasing two idiots who look gay, and Kitten confused in the doorway with Big D gawking over some siren . . . all's right," Air sighed coming downstairs. " Just hope this stuff doesn't happen ALL weekend."

" Hey Air," Phoenix said walking in. " Where were you?"

Air froze as his hair stood up on end. He looked over at Phoenix and nearly jumped out of his skin. " Oh, me? I, um . . . I was just . . . uh . . . I was just upstairs, that's all . . ."

" Really?" DJ asked as he walked in.

" LOOK OUT DUDES!" two males yelled from the top of the stairs. He was King, taller than Air, wearing a blue suit, and his light blue hair was flapping behind him along with his gemstone over his peachy-tanned skin. The other boy was Dairo Miguziwa, the African American water sorcerer with his water gemstone around his neck wearing a dark blue tux and holding onto something familiar . . .

" RUNAWAY!"

" GET BACK HERE! YOU TWO ARE DEAD MEAT!" Ranger yelled as he held a gun. " Come back here with my other gun!"

" NO way man!" King said.

" Just toss it back! We are screwed!" Dairo yelled. " I hate preflight dahas!"

" You haven't done your dare yet!"

" DIE HALF BEASTS OF BURDEN!" Ranger yelled shooting at the two, who dodged crying now.

" OH this is bad . . . Ranger chill!" TL said.

" Just toss the gun back to him and you two will live!" Air yelled as he stepped down, Phoenix's laughter now echoing the whole large foyer. DJ's groan was intimately echoing as well.

" They have my gun . . .NOBODY swipes my hog, nobody calls me a Power Ranger, and nobody, not even NUKID, swipes my motorcycle," Ranger growled.

King tossed the gun back over. " Happy now?"

Ranger automatically aimed.

" Sorry sir . . ." King said then murmured something about him being a badass hardass.

Ranger nodded and placed it back. That was when Nukid woke up.

" What happened?"

" Just us about to be killed," King and Dairo said.

" Moving along everyone . . . " Dawn said coming in.

The large group turned to face her.

" In the dining hall, everyone else's already there."

There's a majority of the cast as of now . . . let the fun begin!
