  ━━ THE PLOT ━━

  
  At 7:42 p.m. on November 23rd, 1953, twenty-one customers dine at a quaint roadside diner in Rifle, Colorado. This diner, named Waffleville in homage to its founder Adam Leville and his love for breakfast food, is nothing particularly special. The black and white tiles have had the same scuff marks for decades, and more than just a few lighting fixtures have blown. Still, given its place by the highway, and its being the only diner in Rifle, it receives a steady amount of business. Enough to keep them open and the staff members paid, at least.
  
  Business is especially good when it storms, as it is doing now, when outdoorsmen seek shelter from the rain and truck drivers wait for proper visibility. The waitresses make sure to keep the coffee flowing for all those working night shifts, each cup refill sending them closer and closer toward their closing time of 9 p.m.
  
  Just an ordinary Monday night.
  
  Except not quite. This storm is a uniquely awful one, and the staff members without cars and without umbrellas can only hope that it will be done by the time closing time rolls around. Just as they dare to hope that the downgrade of the rain from an uproarious symphony to a gentle thrum is a sign of clearer skies, the lights go out and leave the diner drowned in black. An inconvenience for all, certainly, but nothing too upsetting. They're back on soon enough, anyway.
  
  But shortly after the lights turn back on, the recognizable sound of choking begins in the dining room, drawing attention to one Mr. Taron. Not that anyone knows his name until they remove his identification from his corpse's wallet.
  
  Because it seems the man hadn't been choking at all, as the foam fizzling out of his mouth indicated. According to the detective, who had just finished working his overtime shift half an hour ago and had settled down at the diner with his partner for some greasy hash browns, the man exhibits signs of poisoning.
  
  With that simple proclamation, what was once a rundown diner becomes a crime scene, and thirty people become thirty suspects. It is clear that no one is going home tonight. Not until the murderer is found.
  
  But who could it possibly be? Why did they kill Mr. Taron?
  
  … And who is next?

  ━━ THE RULES ━━

  
  RULE 01.
  All Iwaku rules apply, of course.
  
  RULE 02.
  The murderer will be secretly, and randomly, selected from the submitted characters. Whichever player controls that character will work with MaryGold and me to discuss future murders, next moves, etc. For obvious reasons, DO NOT TELL ANYONE THAT YOU ARE THE MURDERER.
  
  RULE 03.
  Characters WILL be dying in this roleplay, so don't get attached. Some of the deaths will be randomly selected to the best of our ability, to keep things fairer, while some might be more purposeful depending on how the plot winds up moving and who the killer winds up being. Please do not take your character's death as a personal attack, as they are not meant that way, but only as a tool of moving the story forward.
  
  RULE 04.
  This roleplay will depend on characters having connections to each other and motives for murder, so please be social with your fellow players and be open to various character interactions. This roleplay kinda depends on it.
  
  RULE 05.
  Each player can have up to 3 characters. Please don't take on more than you can handle.
  
  RULE 06.
  Real face claims only.
  
  RULE 07.
  We ask that you post for each character at least once every two weeks.
  
  RULE 08.
  We are looking for intermediate/advanced roleplayers who can make multiple-paragraph responses for each of their posts. To make sure you are a good fit for this roleplay, send me a writing sample with a ♠ in the message title. Once approved there, you'll be invited to the OOC Discord server.
  
  RULE 09.
  Respect all your fellow players. Respect me and MaryGold as the GMs, and the rules we put in place. Disrespectful behavior OOC and IC targeting will get you removed.
  
  RULE 10.
  No god-modding, power play, and Mary/Gary Sues. Please ask permission before making a major move against another character or in the general story.
  
  RULE 11.
  Since this is a murder mystery roleplay, expect some gore. Still, anything that may be especially triggering must have a warning beforehand, be put in spoilers, or be blurred.
  
  RULE 12.
  YOU ARE ALLOWED TO LIE ON SHEETS. As long as you inform MaryGold and me of the differences, you can lie and/or be vague in your character sheet to prevent other players from knowing your character's secrets.
  
  RULE 13.
  Your character should have known Mr. Taron in some way and should have some motivation to kill him. While we know this isn't realistic, it amplifies tension. Also, it makes it easier for whoever ends up being the killer if they already have a motive in mind.

HISTORY:
Arthur had a rather normal childhood, all things considered. He and his three older brothers were raised by their single mother, who was constantly working, and who therefore had little time to spend with them. All of the brothers banded together to raise each other, with the eldest brother John fitting the father role most. Being significantly younger than the other three, Arthur was still stuck in their small apartment when all three had moved out. Because of his "unique" interest in crime and his tendency to talk people's ears off, he didn't have many friends, and so he had a pretty lonely childhood from age fourteen and up.

Possessing advanced observational skills from a young age, he enjoyed playing detective around the neighborhood and decided early on in life that he would be an official detective when he grew up. Upon graduating high school, he went to university and received his bachelor's in criminal justice. He swiftly found a job, where he was partnered with Lottie Nelson.

He has recently received a job offer in Los Angeles. Given Nelson's receiving a job offer in Las Vegas, they have decided to travel together until their eventual planned separation.

IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS:
Lottie Nelson — His partner of five years from New York. While their relationship was rocky initially due to Lottie's bitterness about being assigned a partner, they had a healthy working relationship that led to a fond friendship. Arthur views Lottie as a talented mentor that he is happy to learn from, being relatively new to the field with only half the other man's experience under his belt.

EXTRA(S):
• HE NEVER SEEMS TO KNOW WHEN TO STOP TALKING
• HE HAS THE MOST PUPPY-LIKE PUPPY EYES YOU EVER DID SEE
• HE OCCASIONALLY WEARS CONTACTS, BUT HE DOESN'T LIKE TOUCHING HIS EYEBALLS, SO IT'S RARE
• HE ONLY OWNS LIKE TWO SUITS THAT HE SWITCHES BETWEEN; OTHERWISE, HIS WARDROBE IS ALL WORN-OUT SWEATERS

HISTORY:
Mitchell was born the only child of a middle-class family, with set expectations on how he was to conduct himself and how he was to spend his life. He did very well in school and was in the chess and swimming clubs. When he graduated, he went to college and then promptly became an accountant. When he was 26, he met Rosaline at a diner where she was working as a restaurant. They promptly began dating at her request, much to his parent's glee, and were married after two years of being together.

Mitchell himself, however, was not happy. Even though he tried to be. He didn't like his mundane job, nor could he love his wife in the way she wanted. This discontent made him so susceptible to temptation, as he found happiness in the arms of a coworker of his. Rosaline ultimately found out and promptly divorced him.

Having nowhere to go as a result, he moved to Rifle to stay with his cousin. He found a job in accounting in the area and eventually bought his own apartment.

IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS:
Rosaline Walters — His ex-wife who divorced him after he had an affair.
Joan Cheney — His coworker with whom he had an affair. They now have a complicated friends-with-benefits relationship.
Randall Parker — His cousin in Rifle, who he stayed with after his divorce until he could afford his own place.
James Turner — His coworker and friend, who helped him a great deal in getting settled in the workplace.
David Taron — A client of his.

EXTRA(S):
• HE HAD A BRIEF THOUGHT TO OPEN UP A TAILOR SHOP AS A CHILD BUT SETTLED FOR ACCOUNTING AS HIS PARENTS PUSHED FOR
• HIS HOUSE IS JUST LITTERED WITH PLANTS

HISTORY:
The only child of a relatively low-income family, Lawrence never had very high expectations for his life. For the most part, he has just gone with the flow of things, content with his two minimum wage jobs. As a child, he became friends with a more well-off girl named Nancy Hayes, and their closeness lead both of their families to joke early about a marriage between them. When Nancy confessed to having feelings for him when they were sixteen, they jumped into a relationship. Upon graduating, the two moved into a small apartment, which Nancy's parents partially fund.

They both hope (aka, Nancy hopes) to one day move to Paris one day. As such, they've both been practicing their French.

IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS:
Nancy Hayes — His childhood friend and high school sweetheart of three years. They get along well enough, although he doesn't love her as much as he claims he does. Their relationship is mostly one of convenience on his end.
David Taron — His homeroom teacher at Rifle High School. He never talked to the man directly or anything, but he knows the girls were awfully fond of him.

EXTRA(S):
• HE IS SLIGHTLY GAY FOR ELVIS PRESLEY
• HIS HAIR GROWS STRANGELY FAST
• HE USES OLD SPICE SOAP

Background
Lance was born in Oklahoma. His father was a strict but successful agriculturist who had both an expansive property and a thriving cattle herd. His mother was once a city girl, who had moved to the rural area chasing an idealised dream. Unfortunately, she found her reality far from the life she had imagined. The more years she spent in Oklahoma, the harder her disposition became. Her dissatisfaction bled down into her children, especially Lance.

Even as a child, Lance was spirited and outgoing. He made friends easily and had a habit of leading those friends into questionable adventures, but he was as good at getting out of trouble as he was at getting into it. Despite his antics, he found his small world constraining and dreamt of far bigger things for himself.

His interest in the greater world was intensified just before his teen years when his aunt made an extended visit from California. She was dazzle and glitz like he had never seen before. And she described a world that sounded vibrant compared to his. After she left, he suffered out his mundanity for a couple more years, during which he excelled in school and took up work to start his savings. At sixteen, he convinced his aunt to come let him live with her.

The city proved to be everything he hoped. He thrived in the crowds and stimulation. He found friends as easily as he had back home and attended many social events. Having graduated early, he also picked up his university education the semester after his arrival. He was a hardworking and skilled student who progressed swiftly into law school before graduating with flying colours. He has since spent his time making something of a good reputation for himself.

Extras
• Enjoys ballroom dancing in his free time.
• Work hard, play hard.

OCCUPATION: college student
HEIGHT: 5'6"
HAIR COLOR: dirty blonde
EYE COLOR: dark brown
SKIN DETAILS: none
BUILD: mesomorph
HEALTH CONDITIONS/NOTES: n/a
OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES: plump lips, small face, long eyelashes
PERSONALITY: Outer Self: A lot can be said of Ygritte Camperman, but at the very least you'll find out she's adventurous and selfless. Of course she's also gracious, courageous and respectful, but they're often slightly tainted by a mindset of being naive as well.
Her selflessness though, this is what she's often admired for. On many occasions people will count on this and her caring nature whenever they need cheering up.

Nobody's perfect of course and Ygritte has a range of flaws to deal with too. Her mischevious ways and people pleasing can cause things to heat up and beyond what people are willing to deal with.
Fortunately her selflessness helps keep them in check for at least a little.

Inner Self: Ygritte can agree with a lot of things that people say about her, but she admittedly doesn't think herself that adventurous, more just a sort of student of nature and all that. she also believes she isn't as naive as people believe she is, and is actually quite observant. sure, she may be a bit too curious about things in this new town, but she believes it's all for the greater good of everything.
LIKES: polite people, the color silver, chocolate filled croissants
DISLIKES: rude people, the color red, chunky peanut butter
STRENGTHS: good at making friends
WEAKNESSES: incredibly naive
HISTORY: Ygritte was born to a single mother that put her up for adoption as soon as she was born. at the time, she was set up to be adopted by a lawyer and his wife until something came up and they were forced to back out, which led to their second choice, a young man fresh out of the academy and an intern at a small company in Georgia who were engaged to be married during the year. The two adopted the child as soon as possible and moved to North Carolina, where Eddie was set up to become part of the force. Ygritte generally grew up quite normally, save for some nights out on the banks.

HISTORY:
Maple and her two younger sisters were born and raised in Colorado. In fact, their parents and their parents before them were all raised in this small town as well. They've been moderately well-off, the children always kept satisfied, their needs and (most of) their wants met. Yet, Maple wasn't completely happy.

She was often made fun of in school for her body, because her body had developed early on, and this (somehow) meant that she was a slut. The boys were never shy about showing Maple how they felt about it, and the girls were jealous of her because of it. The only solace she had was from her teacher, Mr. Taron. At least until his reassurances and compliments turned into something she wasn't at all comfortable with. However, because of the rumors that were already going around about Maple, no one believed that a teacher would put their hands on a student, not one as respected and loved as David Taron.

She escaped the scrutiny when she went away to CU Boulder, spending four years studying to be a teacher herself, specializing in History. After receiving her degree, she wanted to live and work in Boulder, however she was unable to afford it at the time, and eventually moved home shortly after graduation. She got a job working at the diner, Waffleville, as a waitress. It wasn't too bad—the only downside being that she occasionally had to serve people from her past—and it was a decent way to save money for the time being.

• WILL SMILE AND JOKE THROUGH THE PAIN
• HAS STOPPED BEING INSECURE ABOUT HER BODY AND NOW USES IT TO GET TIPS

HISTORY:
Charlie was never an expert when it came to romance or women. All he ever really cared about was his carefully crafted routine of reading his morning paper, spending his day working on cars (occasionally other things, while not at work), and spending a couple evenings per week with the guys, drinking and playing pool. He was content, at least he thought he was until he met Iliana. Or rather, when Iliana met him. She had basically forced him to take her out—Charlie wasn't really complaining—and it only got better from there. He'd never say this aloud, but this woman made him believe in soulmates (and that was the only reason he let her coerce him into getting matching tattoos). She fit perfectly into his life, turning something content into something of actual happiness. No one but Iliana really saw this side of him, though, and they were both fine with that.

They had only been married for five years when they got into a terrible car accident—a truck driver falling asleep at the wheel, turning into their lane—which led to Iliana's death. "Justice" was served in the form of a fine, regardless that the man's recklessness took someone's life. Something about not wanting to condemn a good, remorseful man. The truck driver wasn't originally from Albany, and left soon afterwards.

Two months later, Charlie decided it was time for a change. Everything about his life in Albany reminded him of his deceased wife, and he felt the need to start over. A friend of a friend had just opened up a garage down in Austin, Texas, so he packed up and moved out, making few stops along the way, one being a diner in the small town of Rifle, Colorado.

EXTRA(S):
• HIS WIFE WOULD JOKE THAT SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD LIGHT HIM UP (HENCE HIS MOON TATTOO, WHICH MATCHED HER SUN TATTOO)
• CURRENTLY AT THE 'ANGER' STAGE OF GRIEF
• HAS RECENTLY PICKED UP SMOKING CIGARETTES

HISTORY:
Heath was born and raised in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado, where his family still currently resides. Heath had always naturally been a sociable character, much more to make up for the fact that he was smaller and shorter than most of his peers. He was likable for the most part, but of course, being so obviously different made him a target amongst those less accepting. Not only was he visibly different, he felt different from the other boys in his class. For one thing, he was nearly obsessed with his History teacher, not realizing that it wasn't admiration but attraction he was feeling. Only when he graduated from school did he realize that he was a homosexual, trying to suppress it as much as he could, until finally he accepted it about a decade ago. To satisfy his needs, he'll occasionally frequent queer bars or hangouts he's discovered through word of mouth. There's one nearby that he likes to go to every other week, though he hasn't been in a while for fear of being discovered.

He began cooking at Waffleville about six years ago, and though he likes to cook, he doesn't like the repetitive nature of it at his job. (How many burger or chicken and waffles can a guy make? A lot.)
