The date is September 24, 1896 and just the eve after Her Majesty Queen Victoria surpassed George the III as longest reigning monarch in Scottish, English, and British history.
Even though her Majesty requested any special celebrations be delayed until next year to coincide with her Diamond Jubilee I'm sure she wouldn't mind if we toasted a glass in her honor, hmm?
Welcome, darlings one and all. I am Nickolai Bellemount, and I welcome you to my manor.
Eat drink and be merry, is that not what scripture says? So come let us celebrate, and raise our glasses in Her Majesty's name.

The setting takes place in Victorian England, where the wealthy and regal gather. Rebelliously toasting glasses in her Majesty's name, while blatantly disregarding her request.
Who's to blame for such a gathering? Nickolai Bellemount, an arrogant young royal.
His family has close ties with the Queen, as her Majesty was the first English Monarch to meet with a French Monarch since 1502.
Her interest in improving relations with Britain and France was a moving one, and the Bellemounts moved to England as a gesture of loyalty.
Alexander Bellemount a hardened and conservative solider pledged his family's support in helping rid any threats or uprisings that troubled the Queen.
This ties translate into: "I can have a party whenever I bloody well please, so long as it's in the name of the Queen" for young Nickolai.
However, amidst the swirling ball gowns and delicately crafted masks lurks someone with dark intentions.
During the festivities a scream silences the orchestra and Nickolai's fiancee is found dead on the ballroom floor.
Who's to blame for such a terrible tragedy on what was to be such a lovely night..?
Everybody has the obvious motivation, but underneath lies a secret tie with the victim..
What it is, is up to you.

Male Characters

The Royal
Reserved by Anonymous Black Lace
The Royal is a spoiled prince. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, 'No' is a word rarely heard for him.
He's arrogant but his wit and charm make up for it. Except, not really..

The Bodyguard
Open
The bodyguard has been faithfully and loyally protecting The Royal for years.
Though he seems rather irritated of late.. perhaps dealing with a stuck up brat every day isn't as soothing as one would think.
And people do crazy things when they're stressed~

The Peasant
Open
This poor guy and his family have suffered the hand of the Royal's tax raises one two many times.
Starving and fending for the bit of stuff you do have may be fine for some, but not for this guy.
Garbed in stolen clothes he crashes the party determined to settle the score between the lower class and The Royal

The Spy
Open
An undercover agent from a neighboring country.
Stirring up trouble, and gathering information is easily done
But what would really ruin this rotten prince?

The Posh
Open
This guy is upper class, at every shindig adjusting his monocle and telling his brilliant tales.
But when the party ends, so does his fame. What does a guy have to do be remembered?

Female Characters

The Princess
Open
Princess gets what Princess wants. Always, no questions asked.
Why..? Have you ever seen her when she doesn't get her way..? No? Good..
Well, Princess has her gaze sets on The Royal and nothing is going to stop her from getting what she wants.

The Harlot
Open
Who's having a party? I'm there. The Harlot is like The Posh, except trashier..
She's always at every social gathering but only for one thing..
Hey, if you give a Prince a good shagging he's bound to throw something your way right?
But what if he turns you down...?

The Thief
Open
Diamonds, jewels, family heirlooms. Tch.. rich people just beg to be robbed.
Grabbing jewel encrusted silverware is nearly too easy.. and all the good stuff is in the bedrooms.
Perhaps a distraction could divert everyone's attention~

The Sibling
Open
Why should big brother get the throne..? He's not even smart.
There's only one year between The Royal and The Sibling
And it's obvious who should be ruler, what with people dying at big brother's party and all.

The Foreigner
Open
Who is she..? No seriously.. She just shows up, does anybody even know her name?
And now someone's dead? Well.. it's obvious who did it..
