Ugly-Duckling123 & MysNis1206 (Guest)

Ugly-Duckling I responded to your PM so check your inbox for my reply. MysNis glad to hear you are enjoying it, I read the poem as Duckling sent it to me but you did bring a good point up about the whole "black people" thing from old literature, It's interesting to me to think about what might be considered "taboo" in modern stuff and has to be changed for future readers, especially with the rapid increase on political correctness these days.

CanaryBug OH my that escalated quickly...

No kidding ;) I always think deaths are more fun completely out of the blue. (At least from a reader perspective, if they don't make sense in context then it's lazy writing)

Ladybug fan Renee This is a great story so far please (then the word please around 300 times) update soon PLEASE

Firstly chill with the pleases, my email forced me to look at the review on the site just to see the end. Secondly I will do my best to keep it at least 1 chapter a day as I have managed to so far. (I also have managed to get a bit ahead too so I could theoretically not write for a few days and still post daily but I want to keep writing so I should be fine).

Guest This is beautiful! I love the original idea/concept for this fic! But, even though the main course of this fic is 'Who dunnit~Murder mystery edition' will we get some Adrienette (or in this case, Noirworthy) as a side dish?

Keep your eyes peeled for chapter 6 my friend. (maybe even more later but haven't written that far yet)

Spottedlittlebug (Guest) Oh no! Poor Rose. Can't wait for next chapter! :3

Poor Rose sadly fell into the slot of non-major (and therefore easily killable early) character. At least it isn't real.

KiddyCartoonFangirl First of all, quick correction- did you mean DAGGER instead of DRAGGER? And wow, two more deaths! Things have escalated quickly! (How did they read the cards in the dark?)

Thank you for correcting me. Of all words to misspell and not notice that has to be one of the worst considering it's in all caps XD. I tried to explain that by specifying "too dark to see more than a couple inches in front of you" but I would be lying if that wasn't a last minute edit to make it make some sense that they could read it. Maybe they eat a lot of carrots?

toBEEornottoBEE (Guest) soooo...when someone 'dies'...do they just leave when no-one is looking? and do they just kind of hang out at the house eating food?

Although not specifically stated the rules basically are that you can do whatever you want as long as when your corpse is needed (for example investigating) you have to be where it was left. I guess once everyone has left the room the corpses might start chatting and enjoying the leftovers from the meal.

No reply but thanks to ImperialOtaku, CeceTheFandomQue (Guest) and chocoholic202 (Guest) for your postive messages!

Murder at Agreste Mansion

Chapter 4 – Doctor Nox

"Well that's just great! Isn't it!" Lila shouted, "We're not even safe in a room with all of us together. What's up with your cruddy lights Noir?!"

"I don't know! Maybe the murderer tampered with them?" Adrien suggested defensively.

"Oh really, and who is able to do that when we're all together?"

"Lady Noixum please stop shouting" Max interrupted, "We need to handle this rationally or we're not going to get anywhere"

Lila scoffed and continued to glare at the group as Max continued.

"We're now 2 down and neither were suspects so we need to thin our options before we get outnumbered."

"How do we do that Doctor?" Myléne asked.

"We interrogate them one by one and find out who has a motive to kill!"

"Who's first Nox?" Alya asked him.

Max hesitated for a moment surveying his choices. After many seconds of silence, he decided. "Madame Honey first."

Everyone looked at Chloe who frowned at Max, "Oh of course you'd pick me first! You're all against me even though I know Bugsworthy is guilty!"

Ivan cleared his throat causing the others to look up at him, "Isn't it fair to say the suspects may not speak unless directly asked?"

Everyone agreed to this rule immediately to prevent any more outbursts from Chloe who frowned even more.

"So, Madame Honey, or Beatrice if I may? What's your backstory?" Max asked Chloe.

*sigh* "I'm the prestigious and glamourous daughter of Lord Honey" Chloe began, "He super rich and powerful and could have any of you who turn on me put into a bad situation, if you get what I'm saying."

"Nice one Bea, make a case by threatening us. I'm sure that'll work out great for you" Lila said with her arms folded.

"You know what Noxium, I hope Bugsworthy offs you next, so I don't have to hear your BS" Chloe snapped back at her.

"WOAH! Chlo- Honey that's a bit much." Adrien interrupted before things got out of control. "I think maybe it's best if we move on to another suspect Dr Nox."

Max nodded and turned to Sabrina, "Ms Vipa Skales, do you care to tell us how you got so highly regarded to be with the rest of us?"

"Well, doctor my husband was a billionaire before he passed. I was left in possession of his wealth and here I am."

"And how did your husband die Vipa?"

"He- Uh- Well the autopsy said it was food poisoning Doctor"

"Food poisoning, or was he poisoned by someone that would benefit from his death? Perhaps that same person pulled the same trick on poor Veloci?"

Sabrina began to cry, "Doctor that is utterly preposterous! How dare you suggest such a thing!"

"I think I'll move on to Pintura now." Max said nonchalantly despite what just happened. (It was all acting after all).

Nathaniel spoke before Max could open his mouth, "Listen here Doctor, I haven't murdered any spouse, nor have I got a mobster father. I'm an artist and a damn good one to have earned my fortune. So whatever petty questions you have, you're wasting my time."

"What about the numbers of claims that you steal your artwork from lesser-know artists to get money at their expense?" Max asked smugly.

"I uh-" Nathaniel couldn't answer.

"1 or 2 thefts might lead to more crimes, next thing you know: You murder people for their wealth."

"No comment" Nathaniel said with nothing to argue back with.

Max then turned to Juleka, "Lady Violet. You've been quite quiet tonight. Are you more of a thinker? What are you thinking right now?"

"What does that have to do with murder?" she questioned.

"Nothing at all. Unless you're thinking through your plans to slip a red card to your next victim that is."

Juleka didn't say anything in response.

"Now! Time for the Lady in red." Max said turning to Marinette, "Bugsworthy, you're right next to Veloci's drink. It would have been quite easy for you to tamper with it."

"I haven't touched anyone's drinks." Marinette replied.

"Well surely you would be able to see anyone doing it since you're so close."

"I didn't see anyone go near the glass. The only people who were even near Veloci were the 4 people you've already questioned."

Max paused to think for a second. For Marinette it felt like an eternity. She knew it wasn't her, but she also had no proof that it wasn't nor any to say who it was.

"For now, forget the glass." Max instructed her. He walked over to Kim lying on the ground next to Lila and also gestured at Rose on the other side of the room. "What about these two? Who do you think has good enough vision in the dark to stab these two and get back to where they were standing without being caught?"

"I don't know Doctor" Marinette answered, "It seems impossible".

"Exactly! There is only one possible explanation!" Max announced.

"There must be two murderers among us!"
