Esmaralda

5sc for each of the jokers.

I tried today to teleport from the gazebo to various locations and none seemed to work (not going to post where for spoiler purposes, but I can PM an admin if needed). I had full AP. Can someone please confirm or deny that they are still able to teleport? (could be my IE browser is too old or something related to my machine only -- IE7).

Happy Birthday Fyrd!!

Happy Birthday Amoran!!

*edit* I actually won't be able to make it till 18 server time at the earliest, so I'm out. =( Sorry!

(We have moved our chatter into the Merry Devilers forum so we can organize better. I shall not post further under this post).

*After a brief chat, Esmaralda, Nimrodel and lone wulf pup head over to the morgue to look over the body. Upon arival, they are instructed not to touch the body in any way, only to look* *Upon examining the body, it was dressed in a fine gown, but it was dirty and she was barefoot.It was cold and looked lifeless. Her foot was callous free and it looked like she didn't walk a lot. Her face looked clear, but it had a bit of something strange at the corners of her mouth, it smelled a bit like vomit.* *After examining the body, a conversation ensued with one of the servants there called Samon* [log=Conversation with Samon] Esmaralda: *turns towards Samon* Sir, were you here ther night the lady was feeling sick? Esmaralda: *turns to Nimrodel* Hello there samon: I was... out... working... for the master Esmaralda: *nods* Do you know if anyone was here helping the lady through her sickness? samon: I-i am sorry, I don't know who was here : Fire Starter enters the room, carrying a platter with one bottle and a glass Esmaralda: *smiles comfortingly towards Samon* Thank you Samon. How many other servants work here, do you know? samon: there are many servants, I don't know how many exactly Esmaralda: *smiles at Samon as she nods gently* Samon, you are being a great help and I apreciate it. Esmaralda: Did you serve here for a long time? samon: I have been working here for only a few months Esmaralda: *nods at Samon* The lady looks to have been quite lovely when she was alive. I assume she was well liked amongst the servants? samon: *slightly smiles* yes, she was... samon: *looks at the body* yesterday was her birthday : Fire Starter retires at the far side of the room, near the front door Esmaralda: *nods sadly* I heard. What a tragedy it is, to die on your 18th birthday, don't you think? Esmaralda: Such a loss for this world it is.. samon: it's a real tragedys... Esmaralda: Can you think of anyone that didn't like her? Perhaps someone she had a fight with that you heard of? : Esmaralda takes a gentle step closer to samon as she continues to smile comfortingly towards him Nimrodel: *looks at samon and smiles* Hello... samon: *thinks* there where some rumors samon: *turns to nimrodel and slightly bows* can I help you? Nimrodel: *asks samon* Were you there around her during the party? samon: I sadly was unable to be here : Metal Bunny as Esmaralda steps away from the body, the door slowly begins to close : Metal Bunny it seems the door has a mind of its own and closes with a quiet click Esmaralda: Rumors you say? What rumors have you heard? Metal Bunny there seem to be no handles or locks and the door is almost like a wall now : Esmaralda glances towards the wall, taking a mental note of where the door was just a moment ago samon: I'm not sure I can speak about them, and they are probably false Esmaralda: You're probably right, but I would still love to hear what you've heard. Would you humor me please? I will not forget this favor, I assure you. samon: well... samon: there is a rumor going on about Luanda Holiday samon: *shakes his head* this probably won't help you anyway Esmaralda: Oh, I'm sure it will. Any information is of much help. samon: but it's said she is extremely jalous of her looks Esmaralda: *nods at Samon* Was lady Luanda one of her close friends? samon: I think they where pretty close friends Esmaralda: You have been of great help Samon. *steps closer to samon, flashes a silver coin and drops it in his pocket* samon: uhmm... t-thanks Esmaralda: I think I've taken anough of your time, but I do hope we can stay friends Esmaralda: If there's anything else that you can think of, do come find me. I ensure that my friends get treated quite well. samon: wait Esmaralda: *smiles at samon* yes? samon: do you already know who were at the party? samon: let's see... Lord Mordred Nitratus samon: Luanda Holiday samon: Crazy Mike samon: uhmmm... Udgard was here one wolf pup: How does someone with the name of Crazy Mike gets allow'd into a party? samon: CrazyMike is a magician, he did some tricks at the party Esmaralda: *nods to samon* Anyone else you can think of? Esmaralda: Ahh, so CrazyMike was providing the entertainment? samon: I'm not sure though, I think he also had some other relation to the family but I can't really remember Esmaralda: *nods at samon* Was there anyone else at the party that you remember? : lone wolf pup walks next to Esmaralda samon: let's see who more were there... samon: did I mention Knozz Marquez? Esmaralda: No, you have not. Do you know who that is? lone wolf pup: Urgent Question Samon! lone wolf pup: Sorry to interrupt. lone wolf pup: But may I know where the restroom is? samon: to the left, in the back (although this place has no real restroom) lone wolf pup: Thank you. *hands Esmaralda his notepad and a pencil* Can you take the names for me while I'm gone? : lone wolf pup walks to the left and goes to the back : Esmaralda smiles at pup then turns back towards samon samon: *looks at Esmeralda* I'm sorry, but what was your question again? Esmaralda: *smiles at samon* I was wondering if you knew who mister knozz marquez is? samon: ah... mister Marquez is a merchant samon: and a good friend of the master Esmaralda: *nods* Oh and you mentioned Udgard was there as well? I have not heard of him either. What does he do? samon: Udgard is a bit strange... he is some kind of docter I think Esmaralda: Like a family doctor? samon: I'm not sure, he rarly speaks to anyone but himself Esmaralda: I assume he was a friend of the master? samon: I think so, although I'm not really sure about him samon: I'm afraid you'll have to ask someone else about him Esmaralda: Thank you samon! So are these all the people that were present? samon: there might be one or 2 more, but this were at least most of them Esmaralda: Well, thank you very much Samon. You have been a great help. : lone wolf pup Hands Esmaralda a note samon: I'm glad I could help Esmaralda: I have to be on my way not, but please do let me know if you can think of anything else. No matter how little. *smiles* Esmaralda: *takes another silver coin from her purse and hands it to Samon* For your trouble samon: I will *slightly bows to Esmaralda* samon: you don't have to pay me samon: I want the killer to be caught just as much as you do Esmaralda: Oh, please don't take this the wrong way. You have given much of your time to me. It is only fair that you should get something in return. samon: no, it's my fault this took so long lone wolf pup: *waves at samon* May I ask you a few questions? Esmaralda: *gives samon a gentle hug* We will catch her killer. samon: thanks Esmaralda: I shall be on my way now. I think lone pup may have some questions for you : Esmaralda waves as she leaves out the door[/log] Keynotes: People that were at the party: - Lord Mordred Nitratus - Luanda Holiday (rumor is she was extremely jalous of the victims looks) - Crazy Mike (magician - provided some entertainment and has ties to the family) - Udgard (some kind of doctor - loner, talks to himself) - Knozz Marquez (merchant)

*Esmaralda enters the headquarters of the Merry Devilers, there the others have already joined her. It is a meeting to discuss any new findings about this current dreadful murder.* *She aproaches the rest of the merry devilers and starts telling them the newest findings* In speaking with the head detective, we now know that the name of the victim is Marind Nitratos, niece of Mordred Nitratos, Mayor of the village. The night of her 18th birthday she was having a dinner party for her birthday, when she suddenly fell ill. The people left the party not suspecting a thing. In the morning she was found dead. The head detective suspects found play here. *Esmaralda takes a deep breah before continuing* The body is currently at the morgue. Perhaps one of you should head that way and try to examine it. Does anyone of you know something about chemicals or poisons? I think we should try to identify the cause of her death. *Esmaralda takes a seat, and waits for the response of her fellow Merry Devilers*

On IE7(at work) portals didn't work for me, but on IE9 (at home) they do work.

I must say Raven, your stuff is really good! And your comment jump started my day. Thanks =)

What about Jokers? It must be hilarious to watch them, I would think. I look forth to your research!

Haha, you have no idea how happy I am to see this post. I read that and I was like what? What did I do? Who do I need to contact to straighen this out. My heart rate has dropped to normal again =)

Yes, that was amazing! Thank you for sharing indeed!

If it is not too late, I would also like to join this team!

I'll also add to my bid the Imperial Aramor ID: 606822 3 SC for it =)

1. Get access to one area that I cannot access currently.

I think if we are to motivate people to move up to higher MP levels, we should do it with a carrot, not a stick. By forcing people to do anything, it will simply antagonize them. But if we have perks for moving up, then people will feel motivated to do so. As mentioned earlier, Burns idea is quite good (MP level as upgrade requirement). But we don't have to stop there. We can come up with many things that only MP5 can do. Maybe locations that only MP5s can get to, or new armor that only MP5 can buy, or new creatures that only MP5 can own, or a free cheeky spell that shoots fireworks up in the sky for fun and giggles, etc etc. And remember, that what motivates one person will be meaningless to another. Some of us may love the idea of a cool new place that we can rest our feet and RP in. Others will only care about the new shiny armor. Other will just want that creature for their bestiary. The more variation in carrots, the more people will be motivated. My point is simply that people will react more positively if motivated with carrots than with sticks. Esmaralda

I agree. I find this to be a great idea!

Congratulations to all that won! Sorry I couldn't be there! *applauds*

I just got around to read this post and I must say I love the poem. You did a great job with it!

Happy Birthday!
