It's been a while since I've seen a running roleplay on here. Most of the ones I've seen have just died within 30 posts (most not all). So my goal is to keep a RP running for at least over 30 posts, and hopefully until it ends.
My idea for the RP is a murder mystery RP, no gory stuff. I think NAME did something like this a while ago. I remember it being really good.
So anyway I don't know about the setting or anything, I just got the theme down, so any ideas?

I think I know your last name. No, I'm not a stalker. It's just I think I saw one of your letters in the Letterbox in one of the recent mags.

Day 1
The island of Shikoku. The tent (because every army has tents) of strategy in Army Red. Miki is talking about some seemingly important event. Sakura is taking leave to go home and write a murder mystery. SilverWing is who-knows-where. Red is, as usual, sitting in a chair while watching anime and not paying attention to a thing Miki is saying.
Miki: Today's October first.
Red: That's nice.
Miki: Today's my birthday.
Red: That's nice.
Miki: I'm eleven now.
Red: That's nice.
Miki: I want to go do something cool. Like a cruise or skiing.
Red: That's nice.
Miki: Are you even paying attention?
Red: That's nice.
Miki: PAY ATTENTION RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!
Red: Geez, you don't need to get so mad. I heard some of what you were saying.
Miki: Really.
Red: Um, yeah, something about skiing... I think...
Fastforwarding past a short yelling match and Miki explaining what she was talking about.
Red: Oh, sure, there's this one ski lodge that owes me a refund. (Long story there.) If you want to go skiing for a few days, I guess that would be okay.
Miki: Okay, I'll go call the others! (rushes out of tent)
Red: Others?
So, essentially, lots of chatterbox people got invited to go on a ski lodge trip. And somehow Miki knew everyone's phone number. And somehow everyone got to a meeting place in who knows where in some timely manner. And somehow the parents and school is completely okay with all of this. And somehow everyone got to the bus stop in an hour and then took about three hours oon the bus, even though we have people on three different continents. Anyway, some people were to busy to go:
SC: I'm sorry, but I have to finish poisoning some cupcakes.
Quintus: I'm busy invading the United States. I don't have time for ski trips.
TNO: I have college, you know. I can't exactly leave for two weeks or so.
Admin 1: Oh, I'm sure you kids will be responsible and just fine without us. (*coughcoughyeahrightcoughcough*)
In the Admin's HQ, an underground Batman style cave complete with coffee machine, donut bar, and water cooler.
Admin 2: Do you think the kids will be okay without any adults around?
Admin 3: Ahh, they'll be fine. Don't worry. It's not like they're going to start killing each other or something.
On the bus on the way to the ski lodge.
Donkey: Are we there yet?
At the ski lodge.
Listening Daisy: It's so big and mysterious! Perfect for skiing!
Helen/Holmes/Gollum/whatever your name is: Perfect for a murder mystery!
Zach Lawliet: Yeah, let's go skiing!
So the young and innocent children set out on a magical skiing adventure. They skii in the beauttiful snow, they sip hot chocolate, the stay up past their bedtime, they have a pillow fight, they sing random disney songs, they get up to all kinds of childish shenanigans. And everything is happy and peaceful.
Sam: I have a strange premonition that this won't last long.
Lizzy: Don't be so silly.
Blue Fairy: Because Lizzy's the oldest, everything should be her resposibility!
Melody: Yay!
Lizzy: No!
Elizabeth: Well, there is the staff here at the ski lodge for the time being. It's not like they're are going to leave anytime soon...
Captcha: zura Like Zorua!

Funny. One question: do you post all the posts except when we die, or do we post too?
Delayed bio:

I'm Confuzzled. Do we all make script thingies or do we each post something from our point of view? I'll post something from my POV and a script thingy. Oh, and can the ski lodge be in Sunday River, Maine?

THE DIARY OF MISS MELODY ANNETTE DARLING (OOC: triple Disney name! Take that!)
KEEP OUT OR BE CURSED
I was riding home from school on the bus today when I got a text from this random number. It said, "CB meeting in Sunday River! Hurry up and get your butt up here! -Miki and Red". I was a little suspicious, but when I asked them how many lemmings it takes to conquer Canada, their answer checked out. I hopped on a bus and got my butt to Sunday River (OOC: Which ironically is three hours away from Boston in real life). When I got there, there was already a pillow fight underway. Zach L. and Red were standing on the sidelines awkwardly. I grabbed them (and ~Blue Fairy~ who had come with me) and went deep into the fight. Where I promptly whipped out my purple sparkly lightsaber and annihilated them all! Mwah haha! Lol, JK, the light saber was on 'toy' mode not 'actual, real, literal light saber mode'. Then Sakura, the omnipotent being watching over us all decreed it was karaoke time, so I brought out all my Disney music. We all sang along. Then Sam and Holmes ruined it all by saying something about the fun not lasting. Phooey. This could last forever! Blu nominated Lizzy for the leadership role of the group, which I Seconded. And Lizzy declined. Meh. Of course, as Elizabeth said, there is the ski lodge staff. But they do have houses to go home to... Anyway, it was awesomazing!
Red: *rips diary out of her hands*
Melody: Gimme that back!
Red: It's mine!
~Blue Fairy~: *throws pillow*
Listening Daisy: I'm pretty sure the only one not trying to sleep right now is Elizabeth so be quiet!
Everyone: *looks at Elizabeth*
Elizabeth: *shrugs* It's lunchtime in Germany right now.
Melody: *takes it back*
Sam: Night, guys!
Miki and Lizzie: Night!

Okay. Here's how it goes. On whatever Day it is, I post the results in the above format. This will be posted at around three thirty Pacific time, because I get home at three and it takes me about a half hour to write. So check after dinner or so if you live in the US. Then you guys can post whatever you want.
Um, the ski lodge doesn't really have a location. It's called artistic license. And I am the omnipotent narrator, not the omnipotent being.
Note: This whole thing is actually randomized. I put all your names into a sugarbowl ( the Sugarbowl of DOOM) and pull out a name on Day 2, who then becomes the murderer. On day4, I pull out another name, who then becomes the first victim. I pull out a name every day from then on, until we run out of names and the murderer dies. I will not tell you who the murderer is.
(October 1, 2012 - 11:27 pm)
Sakura, if you don't tell us who the killer is, how is he/she going to know they're the killer?
Oh, and I'm going to do my posts in POV format because script confuses me ;)
I'll start tomorrow since they're all sleeping.
(October 2, 2012 - 3:20 pm)
Just pretend this is yesterday:
Red is watching anime. Ugh, I hate these pokemon card anime things, they don't even make any sense. At least in Japanese anime you can understand what is happening. Besides, today is my birthday, I shouldn't have to watch this.
"Red" I say.
"What"
"Today's October first."
"That's nice." Has he actually fogotten?
"Today's my birthday."
"That's nice." He's not even listening.
"I'm eleven now. It feels different than ten"
"That's nice."
I decide to just keep going. "I want to go do something cool. Like a cruise or skiing."
"That's nice."
"Are you even paying attention?"
"That's nice." I'm getting really aggravated right now.
"PAY ATTENTION RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!" I scream.
"Geez, you don't need to get so mad. I heard some of what you were saying."
"Really."
"Um, yeah, something about skiing... I think..."
Then we start yelling at each other and I have to explain what I said again, even though it doesn't sound right anymore.
That's all I can do right now, I'll post more later.
(October 2, 2012 - 4:02 pm)
I was watching InuYasha at the time (don't berate me and/or rant about InuYasha). But Pokemon would have been funny. As in:
Are you even listening?
Whaaaat? Cranidos is a rock pokemon, a ROCK pokemon, how would Pikachu be able to one-hit KO it? How did it do any damage?
Or even better:
Are you even listening?
Well, I guess we all have these feelings that can't be reconciled. Some of them burned on our ceilings. Some of them learned as a child.
What?
I stood at the top of the mountain and China sang to me.
He's listening to Rush again....

Day 2
As the second day at the ski lodge dawns, the young adventureous children wake up to a brand new day full of fun, excitement, and adventure. The day is filled with skiing, lots of hot chocolate, and other benign activities. You can make up something interesting. Only a few things to note:
Just in case the ski lodge randomly takes a day off and the ski lodge gets snowed in, the young'uns decide to take jobs. The children "calmly and peacefully selected jobs through a randomized method" (read: a small skirmish, with lots of arguing, yelling, and coin flips). The jobs are as follows: Gollum: Lunch Duty, Lizzy: Dinner Duty, Melody: Laundry, Red: Breakfast Duty, Miki: Lemming Wrangler, Listening Daisy: Gardening, Elizabeth: Vacuuming/Dusting, Blue Fairy: Official Doorman, Sam: Nonofficial Doorman (a.k.a. Bathroom Cleaner), Tiffany: Nonofficial Doorman's Assistant, Zach: anything else that needs to be done. They all also pick roomates (because they're are not unlimited amounts of rooms in this ski lodge, also this is important when people start dying- it increases suspicion.) Melody-Blue Fairy, Sam-Gollum, Tiffany-Elizabeth, Red-Zach, Listening Daisy-Lizzy, and Miki gets a room to herself. No complaining. This is how it is, and how it's going to be.
Gollum: Skiing is all very well, but are we really going to stay here for thirteen days? I'm going to get bored.
Red: Don't worry. Tomorrow, things are going to get... interesting.
Gollum: And what does that mean?
Red: It means ...interesting of course. Don't you know what ...interesting means?
Gollum: No.
Tiffany: I'm bored.
Listening Daisy: That's new.
Sam: Then let's play Clue, or something.
Donkey: How about Parchisi (how do you spell that?)? And in the morning, I'm making waffles!
Melody: To entertain you all, I will start the random Disney song a day segment! Be prepared for Disney awesomeness.
Zach: I can't wait.
Blue Fairy: Cover your ears.
Melody: Hey, you guys shouldn't be so mean! (Sorry, Melody.)
Elizabeth: So, what is today's song?
I apologize in advance for my pitiful knowledge of Disney music.
Melody: I'll take requests!
Miki: How about Hakuna Matata?
And thus the children were subjected to Hakuna Matata.
(October 2, 2012 - 6:05 pm)
*all are tired and hallucinating*
Holmes: Allan Mendelsohn! Come back from Mars!
Miki: My name is Fred.
Melody: Is this the Tiki room?
Elizabeth: Struedel.
Zach: This is getting interesting.
Red: Yes, very interesting.
Zach: No, I mean, very very interesting.
Red: Of course, very interesting.
Melody: Everything's interesting in the Tiki Room!
Red: Of course, Melodychan. Everything is very interesting in the Tiki Room.
Sam: I call Miss Scarlet!
Blu: Professor Plum is boring, all he does is act nerdy all day.
Holmes: I want to be Allan Mendelsohn!
Listening Daisy: Aren't we here to ski?
Donkey: But skiing isn't as interesting as this!
Red: Of course, this is very, very interesting.

This will be an... interesting RP.
