Prof. Bipin Corundum; an intellegent Indian scholar of the natural world, not to mention that he is Mrs. Ethylene Peacock's new suitor. Calm, caring and acute, he is a perfect match for her. Especially with his advocation for bird species which is Mrs. Peacock's great interest. Almost everybody is more than happy to welcome him to Tudor Close. As the day goes by, that number makes a steady decrease. For Prof. Corundum has a sneaky, carefully plotted secret up his sleeve. Afterall, with all his cleverness, he may unfortunately prove that...

Tudor Close
April 29th, 1911


LIBRARY- 8:45 AM

Tudor Close had been shut up for a quite while, and a good reason why; it has undergone certain renovations that were seen fit to be done. Some sections of the house that the owner, Mrs. Ethylene Peacock were looking tad too drab for her liking. Therefore, changes were in order, and Mrs. Peacock had recently come into a certain fortune made on good investments. It had been a stellar year for her indeed, thus she had the means to improve her home.....and take a long-term exclusive trip to India due to her zest for exotic living. Now she was ready to open up her house again, and also open up a surprise waiting for all her friends.

It was morning and Mrs. Peacock was socializing in her newly refurbished Library with some her her usual company. Her American niece, Miss Daisy Peach sat beside her talking about all the exciting things she had accomplished during her absence. Mr. Andrew Slate-Grey, happy to see his friend Miss Scarlet, was busy painting a quick portrait of her. He loved people and loved painting them. Scarlet loved being painted. A mysterious companion of Mrs Peacock, Madame Antoinette Rose stood by the window waiting. She started out as Mr. Peacock's French secretary, but after his death, she became a bit of recluse and took up a very strange hobby. She was also known to be a bit friendly with Peacock's brother, Professor Nathan Plum. Despite her title, she was never known to have a husband.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_95f7fc76.jpg)

Miss Peach was just finishing up her story she was rhapsodizing to her Aunt.  

"Well anyway as I was saying Auntie, I saw every single ol' relative of mine back in Louisiana. They were all so kind and supportive of me and my calling.   They tell me that I'm best dancer on this side of the planet! Course, not a single one of them knew I could dance until I told them. Still, it's the thought that counts."

"That's nice dear," Mrs. Peacock replied uninterested, though smiling, "Well, I'm certainly excited for the day. It's been too long since I've lived in my beloved home, and there is so much to be happening today."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_95f7fc1d.jpg)

"Yes," Mr. Slate-Grey agreed, "You said you had a surprise for us."

"That's right Andrew, I do," Mrs. Peacock confirmed, "I'm sure you all have been looking forward to what it will be...."

"I certainly have," Slate-Grey answered back, "Charla and I have been guessing on what it could be..."

He suddenly snickered lewdly to Scarlet.

"...Remember?"

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_b5f7fbfc.jpg)

Scarlet returned a knowing smile in return. She didn't wish to wreck her pose.


Suddenly, Mme. Rose spoke up. Something had grabbed her attention....

"There's is a man outside. What is he doing in the Gazebo?"

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_b5f7fc3f.jpg)


Mrs. Peacock smiled.

"That will be him."  

She got up, and left the room.

Oh yess! First update!
I can't wait to start the guessing!

Interesting:) can't wait to read more!

GAZEBO- 8:47 AM

Professor Nathan Plum was taking his routine morning stroll to muster some intellectual inspiration for the day. The sun was shining, the birds were tweeting, and there was a light breeze in the air. What could be better? As he gracefully strolled, his shiny shoes made pleasant clacking noises against the stone walkway.

As he neared the Gazebo, he noticed somebody...somebody not familiar to him. He didn't think it was any old street bum. His clothes were a sharp cardinal red topped with an eccentric looking fez on his head.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_95f7fdbd.jpg)

"Excuse me sir," Plum called, "Have you found yourself lost?"

When the man turned around, Plum saw his face. A pleasant aged face with elder warmth and wisdom. The man sported some sharp looking half-moon spectacles on his nose.

"Namo namah friend, Salutations indeed!" The man replied with a chipper British accent, "Oh, jolly fine place isn't it? I found myself quite fascinated with the smashing garden of Ethylene's. She really fancies herself in a fortress of wonder. You'd be her brother than wouldn't you? I see the resemblance."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_15f7fe77.jpg)

Plum was quite taken with the man's cheerful attitude.

"Y..yes, Indeed I am. Plum's my name..Professor Plum," He informed, "And you would be..?"

"Professor Bipin J. Corundum of Calcutta at your service!" The bashful man replied, "But please call me Bipin. No need for formality between colleagues."

"Right so," Plum agreed, "Say, your name rings a bell....have we met before?"

Prof. Corundum put his finger to his mouth as though he were thinking.

"Nope! I don't believe we have, young chap," He answered, "Well then, cheerio and see at breakfast."

With that, he walked off.

"Bipin...Bipin Corundum.......," Plum thought hard, "....How could I forget a man such as that? Hmmmm...."

CONSERVATORY- 8:50 AM


Dressed in their morning best, Captain Bernard Brown and Colonel Clifford Mustard had taken to the calming morning aura of the Conservatory for a quiet chat. Apparently, the news of Prof. Corundum was aware to them, though both of them were still a little curious and mystified towards his background.

"Well, I wonder where devil the man is," Col. Mustard stated, "Ethyl told me he'd be here this morning."

"Morning eh?" Capt. Brown replied gruffly, "Then the fellas got to be here any minute now."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_55f8118b.jpg)

Brown then was trying to think, but couldn't remember.

"Did Mrs. Peacock say who his name was?"

"Oh, something utterly unimportant," Mustard replied, "It was Professor Bipin...something. Rather unfortunate name in my opinion."

HALL- 8:54 AM

RIIIINNNGG! RINNNGGG!

In no time flat, Hogarth opened the doors.

"Good morning sir,"  Hogarth welcomed.

Prof. Bipin smiled.

"Morning there, my boy," He greeted warmly, "Ah, such a lovely fashioned Hall, I must admit. You must be Hogarth; Mrs. Peacock has told me all about you!"

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_b5f81246.jpg)

Hogarth tried not to wince.

"Why indeed she has," He replied, "How kind of her. She requests you to meet her in the Study. Follow me..."

CONSERVATORY-  8:57 AM



"Remember our trip to India, Colonel?" Capt. Brown reminded.

"Yes, that was a couple of months ago," Col. Mustard replied feeling a little uncomfortable suddenly, "Why do you mention it?"

"Professor Bipin....it rings a bell."

Mustard cleared his throat.

"Well, I suppose the name is not unfamiliar...." He admitted, "Though I do recall it a bit; a certain figure by that name. There was some radical researcher who somehow came about our rare bird hunt....though.....it couldn't possibly be the same one."

"That hunt, it was illegal in the area, was it not?" Brown questioned.

Mustard gave the Captain a hard stare.

"Of course it was illegal Bernard, even you knew that when you came along. But I said it before and I'll say it again; sometimes you must go through certain lengths to gain the perfect prize you sought after. Anyways, the only ones who know are you and I, my hunting partners, our Indian guides...and Ethyl's new little friend here..."

He walked over to a brightly coloured bird sitting innocently in it's cage while chewing on it's chew toy; a Wrench.

"Rainbow was quite the fortunate one..."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_15f81637.jpg)


Mustard snatched the Wrench from the birds beak and placed it into his pocket.

STUDY- 8:58 AM

There was knock at the Study door....

"Are you in there, dear?" Bipin called.

Ethylene Peacock rose out of her seat in anticipation.

"Bip, is that you my darling? Do come in!"  

She brushed off her dress and stood regally as her new suitor entered the Study. He was smiling warming while his left hand clutched a golden Globus Cruciger.

"Ethylene, my beautiful peacock...."  

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_55f81416-1.jpg)

Mrs. Peacock returned a charmed and excited smile in return.

"How extraordinary to see you once again Bip, and how smashing you do look!" She complimented breathily.

Then she noticed the Globus in his hand.

"Oh, why did you pick that up dear?"

Bipin smiled.

"I couldn't help but notice all the wonderful things you keep in your place. I thought this was quite a magnificent piece!"

He walked over to the mantle and set it down.

"Most of them were Charles things, but no matter. Come here love.." Peacock enticed, "It's been too long...."

"Don't mind if I do..."

They both embraced in warm, intimate kiss.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_b5f81458.jpg)

"So, how was the voyage to Canada?" Mrs. Peacock asked as she gently pulled away from him.

"Frightfully good," Prof. Corundum replied, "Excellent weather through and through."

Mrs. Peacock took his hand and they both slowly walked over to some chairs by the desk as they sat down. There was so much conversation to engage in, yet so little time. They both missed each other dearly when Ethyl had to return. They shared quite a history together during those few months in the Indian cities and jungles.

"I had this penned this together," Mrs. Peacock informed him as she pulled out a book from the top of her desk, "It's a little rough copy of the book we've worked on together, based on the research we gathered. Oh, I almost remember as though it were yesterday when we were out strolling in the unfolding habitat of the wild jungle. The sounds of a million different species coursing in their own little song, yet not a single one to be seen...."

She passed the book over to Bipin as he carefully flipped through it.

"Yes, yes....I do love it so much there in India...." He admitted, "The chaos of the city, yet the thrilling order of the wild. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else...."

"Not even here?" Peacock suggested with a wink.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_55f81556.jpg)

"Except here of course," He replied, amused, "How could I not appreciate the wonders of Canada...."

Then he paused.

"I don't know why you are not in the same line of work as me, my dear," He wondered, "Your zest and enthusiasm for the class of the birds astounded me greatly."

He put his hand gently on her lap.

Peacock blushed,

"Oh, you flatter me too much," She giggled, "Birds have been a passion of my youth. The grace of their flight, the meticulousness of their eating, the beauty of their plumage.....oh I could go on and on...."

KITCHEN- 9:10 AM

The delicious aroma of flapjacks filled the air of the Kitchen. It was a pleasure to have Mrs. Mary White prepare them on Saturday mornings. Nobody makes flapjacks the same way as Mrs. White does. As a cook and a maid in the house, Mrs. White does all with great skill and efficiency. Of course, Mrs. White always prepared her food with tender love and care....and perhaps a little something extra or two.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_15f817af.jpg)


Suddenly, Prof. Corundum entered the Kitchen. Mrs. White hated anyone who trespassed her domain. Actually she hated almost everything in general.

"Excuse me, my good madam," Prof. Corundum pardoned, "I was wondering if you had anything little morsel to nibble on."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_95f8182d.jpg)


"Breakfast will be ready in five minutes, sir," She replied in an cheerful tone.

"Thank you for letting me know," Bipin thanked, "Oh...and your flapjacks smell simply divine."

With that he left.


"Now where did I put that Poison...." Mrs. White wondered coldly.

DINING ROOM - 9:17 AM



"Morning Mrs. White," Colonel Mustard greeted as he entered the Dining Room, he was always punctual, thus being the first on in the Dining Room, "Breakfast sure is a bit late than usual."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_f5f818ff.jpg)


"Up yours, you fat crap..." White muttered under her breath.

"I beg your pardon?" Mustard requested.

"I said, please enjoy my flap jacks," White answered back.

Mustard smiled with approval.

"I certainly will," He said, "They smell delicious."

Madame Rose and Professor Plum entered the Dining Room next. Plum's mouth watered at the sight of the steaming hot pancakes with melted butter prepared. Madame Rose however seemed a little more wary.

"There's poison in the air....!" Rose declared.

Mrs. White jumped a little.

"I'm sorry, what did you say!?" White stuttered nervously.

"Yes, the poison of an deceptive soul," Rose continued.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_d5f81cbd.jpg)

"Now Miss Rose, I think your being a tad over dramatic," Colonel Mustard scoffed from his seat.

She ignored this remark.

"Will Professor Corundum be joining us for breakfast?" Rose inquired.

"I believe he would," Mrs. White replied, "He delighted me earlier in the Kitchen with an empty stomach. A man like that never misses a meal..."

"Very well," Rose replied, "I mustn't partake in breakfast in the same room as him. Therefore, I must excuse myself from this meal and set out for a place that will be less....draining.."

"Anna!" Plum called, "Don't leave us. What difference does it make if the professor sits with us or not?"

"My apologies Nathan," Rose apologized, "I cannot dine with that man..."

With that, she departed.

"That woman has always been bonkers," Mrs. White thought to herself, "Ever since Mr. Peacock died, she has gone off her rocker. Somebody ought to put her in Bedlam, one of these days."


On that mental note, she returned to the Kitchen, leaving Mustard and Plum alone.

"Professor Corundum, that was the name she said, was it?" Mustard inquired.

"Yes..." Plum said, stroking his chin thinking, "I swear I know his name from somewhere...."

Then he picked up the Candlestick.

"Excuse me Colonel," He pardoned, "I must go...um...shed some light on a certain matter."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_15f81db2.jpg)

Then Professor Plum too left the Dining Room, leaving Colonel Mustard all by himself.

"Professor Bipin Corundum" Mustard pondered, "That's definitely the man Brown and I encountered back in India. I wonder if he ever spoke...or has come to speak now...."

KITCHEN- 9:30 AM

Mrs. White was busy tidying up the Kitchen while Hogarth sat down to enjoy his meal of a cheese sandwich. It was his break at the moment. Suddenly, there was noise coming from the direction of the stove....

"G'mornin Mary" Captain Brown greeted as he entered the Kitchen through a passage behind the stove, "Your Kitchen is looking especially spiffy today, not to mention yourself as well. Your cheeks bloom with roses on a fine morning such as this."

He added a wink to this last sentence. He has a little fancy for Mrs. White, which she picked up on quite a while ago. Yet, her feelings remained icy.

"Are you hungry Captain?" She asked, "There is some breakfast already set in the Dining Room."

"Gawh, I've already fitched one of your flappy jacks five minutes ago,"  He admitted, "Delicious they were. Say, how about some coffee, m'lass?"

Mrs. White folded her arms.

"There's a coffee maker on the counter over there..."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_d5f8203f.jpg)

"Mary, don't be rude to him..." Hogarth scolded.

Even Capt. Brown was taken aback a little.

"I'm surprised, your not your cheerful little self today, my peppered little tuna," He said with a teasing chuckle, "Is something bothering you?"

Indeed, something was bothering Mrs. White. Something a little more than usual.

"I don't think I ought to tell you sir..." She muffled as she turned away and walked over to the counter, "Very well, I'll make you some coffee....do you want it plain or with milk?"

"Just straight and black, lass," Brown replied as he took a little stroll around the Kitchen.

He paused for a moment as she prepared his coffee.

"Now then," Brown continued, "I wouldn't mind having a listen to the tale that on your mind. You can trust me, dearie."

White remained silent.

Brown then absent-mindedly picked up a Knife in his hand and waved it about with his words.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_55f82161.jpg)

"Oh come now," Coerced Capt. Brown, "It wouldn't have anything to do with...say the new gentleman friend of Ethyl's would it now?"

"Certainly not!" Mrs. White suddenly snapped with a an usually loud tone.

Hogarth and Bernard stared at her in surprise.

"Well, except....he's just another mouth to feed. That's all."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_d5f8219b.jpg)

PLUM'S ROOM- 9:45 AM

Professor Plum had retreated to his bedroom where he was rummaging through old archives of newspaper articles and books. For a while his search had been fruitless, until he came across one little article from a paper printed three years ago. The detail of the article? An incredible new innovation by Prof. B. Corundum concerning the biological system of life in an organism and how it can be reanimated after death.

"How could I have forgotten him!?" Plum stuttered in anger, "That was my thesis and that was my paper I wrote. He claimed he was a scientist with...years of experience? My foot! He was a fraud... he stole...he stole my idea back then. And now...he's come back!"

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_75f824f2.jpg)

LOUNGE- 10:05 AM

By now, the Reverend Victor Green had made his arrival to Tudor Close after finishing up his sermon prepared for the next day. Mrs. Peacock was chatting with him in the Lounge.

"Reverend," She said in pleasant voice, "How has your morning been?"

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_75f8223a.jpg)

"Well, I confess I've been having little bit of a mental hurdle to get over in terms of writing my sermon. Sometimes, the ideas just don't flow like they usually do." Green admitted, "Considering how inspiring God is, He doesn't always leave much in the idea well. He he."

"Oh come now," Mrs. Peacock chuckled, "Oh yes, I wanted to tell you something..."

"What would that be Ethylene?"

Peacock paused for a moment.

"What would you say to the idea of a wedding in the near future?" She suggested.

"Oh?" Green replied a little surprised, "You wish to be married? Most happy news indeed! We've haven't had such a pleasant event in the village for quite a while. Who would the lucky intended one be?"

Mrs. Peacock gave a little smile.

"He's sitting right over there..."


Sure enough, Prof. Corundum was present in the room, along with Colonel Mustard and Mr. Slate-Grey.

"Say Professor, I had something on my mind..." Mr. Slate-Grey suddenly spoke, "You wouldn't happened to have a nephew...would you?"

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_b5f823b2.jpg)

"A nephew?" Prof. Corundum replied, "I certainly have many. Which one would you be referring to, my boy?"

Slate-Grey paused for a moment.

"His name is Abhilash," He replied, "He's around my age. Very kind and very handsome..."

Suddenly, the usually kind face of Corundum suddenly clouded over a little...

"Oh yes...." He muttered, "That nephew..."

"How would you know about the professor's nephew?" Col. Mustard asked suspiciously.

"Oh I sure young Andrew here has been to India on an occasion or two," Corundum replied, "Who wouldn't want to go? It's a wonderful place with wonderful people. If it's not the people, it's the wild animals that would attract a crowd..."

He then bent a little lower to Colonel Mustard.

"Especially your crowd..."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_15f823d6.jpg)

Mustard didn't say a word. Suddenly, he knew what he had to do....

LIBRARY- 11:00 AM


When Prof. Corundum stumbled into the Library, the first thing he noticed was the painting Mr. Slate-Grey did of Miss Scarlet. The face was unmistakably familiar to him. The features had been forever sealed in his mind. The only thing about it was the shock of seeing her face, right here.

"So she's been here then..." He mumbled to himself, "After all this time..."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_d5f82d24.jpg)

Professor Plum walking pass the open door, happened to notice Prof. Corundum standing in the Library. Taking no second thought, he immediately entered....

"You!" He cried.

Prof. Corundum spun around in shock.

"P..Professor Plum, what a pleasant surprise?" He stuttered back.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_75f82ddd.jpg)

"Don't kid with me, sir!" Plum bellowed, "I know exactly who you are! Why did you do it? Why did you steal my ideas three years ago?"

Professor Corundum tried not to lose his composure.

"Professor Plum, I was waiting for you to remember..." He said, "And I want to apologize for the misunderstanding we had..."

"M..Misunderstanding?" Plum muffled, "What?"

"Yes, of course, you never remembered when that day happened..." Corundum continued, "You were a student of mine on an expedition and one day, you dropped a horrible substance of...uh...chlorine which simply put you into a terrible state. You were experiencing things that never happened and unfortunately you had to be sent back. It was quite unfortunate. However, you had been quite enthralled with the paper I wrote on the research conducting. You must have been led to believe that it was your own idea when your were in that terrible state!"

"I did?" Professor Plum said, "I'm so sorry, I..I...never realize professor.."

Prof. Corundum smiled.

"It's alright," He said, "It's just damned fortunate that you made it through and that we had the chance to see you again..."

With that he left the Library leaving Prof. Plum alone as he contemplated what Corundum just said. Suddenly the truth sunk in when he realized...he'd been duped.

"HORSEPUCKEY!" Plum cried.

He panted a little and gulped as he scanned the room. He needed something....he needed....the Lead Pipe!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_d5f82ee1.jpg)

He grabbed a piece of Lead Pipe that was on the table.

"Just see how that old coot likes it when I show him my thesis on a proper lead enema!"

BALLROOM- 12:02 PM


"What is that peculiar tune your playing, Antoinette?" Reverend Green asked curiously as he entered the Ballroom.

Presently, Madame Rose was strumming a rather odd tune on the contrabass. It's melody was eerie, and melancholy. Rev. Green couldn't make heads or tales of it.

"Oh, it'z a very oooold tune," Madame Rose explained, "A very sacred one as well. Originally performed on lute."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_55f826cb.jpg)

"I see," Green replied, "Where did you learn it?"

"India," She replied, "Oh....I'm afraid I must confide in you Reverund..."

Green's eyes widened. Madame Rose never confessed anything to him. She never went to church either. She always spent her Sundays in her room.

"Please, do tell," He replied, "Afterall, I'm always here for spiritual guidance..."

Madame Rose cleared her throat.

"Many moons ago, when Mr. Peacock met his tragic end," She began, "I moved to India to find my inner self. Instead...I found a cult. They took me into their cult....treated me like their own. Soon, they discovered I had many great potential powers....thus....they wished for me to lead their weekly sacrifice one day. The man I choose to sacrifice was foooolish con man who was out exploring the jungle. We caught the man...tied him up....and prepared to take his heart! Ha ha! However, the man distracted me for a moment and got out of his ropes. For my mistake, I was banished, never to return. The man's name....Professor Bipin Corundum!"

Green gasped.

"Antoinette, you didn't!" He exclaimed, "Oh what a dreadful man..er...thought."

"Tonight, I shall finish what I started," She declared, "Before he recognizes me, or his ropes...."

Her eyes turned towards a coil of Rope on the floor. Green bent down to pick it up.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_95f82af3.jpg)

"You dislike this man as well, Reverund," Rose noted, "I can sense so..."

Green was taken aback.

"I do not!" He protested, "I haven't a hatred for any soul!"

"It's no use lying Reverund...," Rose insisted, ""There's no use hiding the facts. For tonight, the professor will discover that his so-called knowledge...will prove quite....deadly..."

STUDY- 8:20 PM

Sure enough, the evening came faster than expected, in fact, Prof. Corundum even managed to stay around for dinner. To him, it appeared he a oblivious to the animosity that was occurring around him. He was quite acute and assured. Never any danger; never. Afterall why should there? He was quite safe in a dignified house filled with more or less dignified people. Why would he ever dream of leaving such a mind-stimulating environment?

Of course, first place he went after dinner was to Mrs. Peacock's Study. When he entered however, he was quite surprised to see Mr. Slate-Grey sitting down in the room.

"Oh, what are you doing in here?" Prof. Corundum asked softly.

"I just came in to have a little rest," Slate-Grey replied, "Mrs. Peacock doesn't mind in the slightest."

Prof. Corundum cleared his throat.

"Well, that alright then I suppose," He admitted, "At any rate, I've just popped in to fetch Ethyl's bo..."

In a split second, he suddenly noticed the book was no longer on the desk.

"Oh," He suddenly declared, "It seems somebody has taken Ethyl's book..."

"You mean the book burning in the fireplace?" Slate-Grey suddenly piped up.  

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_d5f83694.jpg)

"Whaaat did you say?" Corundum suddenly whimpered, no longer the calm old man he usually was.

"Yes...." Slate-Grey replied back innocently, "It appears there's a nice pink book burning away as we speak..."

Corundum's face turned red like a ruby.

"But...who...why...?" He stuttered, his voice loosing it's calm British charm to something more foreign and fierce, "I bet you had something to do with this young man! Your that trouble maker who had the indecency to defile my nephew with sodomy! Don't think I didn't remember! At least I had the dignity to hold my tougue during tonight's dinner. I bet you burned my book to get back at me for restraining my nephew from further misconduct....!"

Slate-Grey got up from the couch and snatched a silver Pistol from Mrs. Peacock's desk and pointed at him.

"You shut up, old man!" Slate-Grey demanded, "You knew NOTHING about us!"

But by then, Corundum was already leaving, slamming the door behind him. Prof. Plum suddenly popped out from behind the corner.

"Easy now, Drew," Plum said, "Thanks for taking the wrap. I needed some way to get back at that rotten termite! I just couldn't face him again..."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_d5f83896.jpg)

"Well," Slate-Grey replied, "Now it's your turn to come in on the deal...."

Plum sighed.

"Oh....very well," He said as he took off his jacket, "Let me just set this down..."

Slate-Grey looked at the Lead Pipe and snickered.

"Oh, you can hold on to that..."

LAVATORY- 9:30 PM

Reverend Green stood in the Lavatory; his hands shaking. They shook so much that he dropped the Rope that he was twisting in his fingers, onto the Lavatory floor. Trying to compose himself, he stared outside the single window hoping to take his mind off the past....but it was easier said than done.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_f5f83180.jpg)

"There I've gone again, lying to Madame Rose this afternoon, for Pete's Sake!" He rebuked himself in his mind, "Of course, I do hate the man. A liar and a fraud. That's all he ever was! And I was....so gullible to believe he was aiding the wildlife.......why did I? Why? Why God, have you send him back here?"

BALLROOM- 10:00 PM

"Well, well, well....." Professor Corundum muttered when he entered the Ballroom, "It was about time I'd find you in this house."

The person looking back at him was none other than Miss Scarlet. Her glare showed no sign of love. Prof. Corundum was one of the last people in the world she would have wished to see. There was a good reason why....

"I told you I never wanted to see you again, Father..." She replied coldly.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_d5f832e8.jpg)

"Your lack of respect for me is...understandable....but very misplaced, my child," He stated as calm as possible, "Now that we are back together, I suppose we could be one little family again, provided your mother were alive. However, first I would like to have a word about what I think..."

"Think about what?" Scarlet snapped, getting up from the recliner.

"About your behavior!" Corundum replied sharply.

Scarlet straightened herself, trying to show no fear or emotion towards the man she used to call "Papa".

"Never did I think that my *own* daughter...would shame us so..."

"I shamed you?" She interrupted.

"I'M NOT FINISHED SPEAKING, YOU LITTLE HARLOT!"

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_75f833cd.jpg)

This little outburst left her completely speechless.

"Now then...." He continued, "I'm put in a rather awkward position. I'm perfectly prepared to forget about you running away...and becoming some cheep sex object for cheep men. Obviously, you never considered yourself a proper Corundum....perhaps you never were. What do they call you now? *Miss Scarlet*?

Scarlet's face remained unchanged.

"It's none of your concern."

"Oh, but that's where your wrong," He corrected, "You are my concern because you were my daughter. My scruples have held up more weakly than my reputation could, no thanks to you. I never did get the respect I fully deserved, but Mrs. Peacock doesn't have a clue on the way I rely on her. Nor should she. Provided you help keep my performance in high review, nobody will have to know about your past..."

....Suddenly... Colonel Mustard made an appearance.....

"Somebody was shouting in here..." He said sternly, "Why is going in on?"

"Why nothing at all Colonel Mustard," Prof. Corundum replied cheerfully, "We were just having a little disagreement."

Mustard suddenly gave him a sharp look. He knew the man was lying.

"Listen to me, you filthy moron," He threatened, "You keep away from Miss Scarlet, you hear me? I don't know what you think you are gaining from staying here, but you skating on very...thin...ice...."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_15f834e4.jpg)

Bipin didn't know what to say.

"Good evening to you too....my good sir," He muttered as he left, "Be gentle with her tonight...."

Mustard ignored him as he turned to Scarlet and embraced her.

"Now, my dear," He said gently yet firm, "How has he been treating you?"

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_f5f83545.jpg)

"Well, I'm alright now at any rate, Cliff, my sweet."

Mustard smiled too.

"No more worries," He assured, "I'll take care of the problem if need be..."

DINING ROOM- 10:30 PM


"I took this nasty bugger from the Kitchen," Captain Brown stated in a low voice, "If need be...I'll use it."

He brandished the Knife at Colonel Mustard.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_55f839c1.jpg)

"Good, good," Mustard replied, "Tonight, we are both prepared for an entirely different hunt. The creature is one nasty little thing. It's crass, it's annoying, and it knows too much. That is why I've armed myself with this."

He lifted up the Winchester Shotgun taken from the Billiard Room cabinet.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_d5f83a4e.jpg)

"One shot from this, will teach the maggot a thing or two..."

PEACOCK'S ROOM- 11:00 PM


It was the time of the night. Mrs. Peacock and Prof. Corundum happily retreated to her bedroom for a little nighttime nookie. They were both cosily curled up on her bed with their bodies close and cuddling. Both of them whispering sweet things to each other...

"Mmmmmm...." Prof. Corundum moaned, "There is nobody I would love to be with right at this moment except for you, my darling peacock. However, I admit I don't feel quite myself. My tummy seems not to be agreeing with me....if you understand."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_15f807f9.jpg)


"It's strange you say that," Mrs. Peacock agreed, "My stomach seems to be in a bit of a bother as well."

Then that's when a thought came to Prof. Corundum.

"My dear, I don't think this is just chance," He said, "There is something very wrong going on in this place. Why....Mr. Slate-Grey had the nerve to throw my...er our book in the fireplace!"

"Did he?" Peacock replied shocked, "Well....it's a good thing I have another copy!"

"Do you?" Corundum replied, "Well...I better go find it then...before someone else get's ahold of it."

With that, he jumped out of bed and hurried out the door. Peacock got out of bed as well and sighed.

"Well...not that it really matters anymore...."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_35f80652.jpg)

BILLIARD ROOM- 11:10 PM


Miss Scarlet was quite awake.

Her mind was involved in her on little game of snooker. However for this game, every shot she made, kept breaking the balls....

That was when she got the attention of Madame Rose.

"Miz Scarlet," Rose called, "Would you keep it down in here? I need to concentrate, merci beaucoup."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_75f80e34.jpg)

STUDY- 11:20 PM


Mrs. Peacock had retreated to her private Study. She knew she had some pain killers in her desk somewhere. Suddenly, she heard a loud noise ring out throughout the mansion, in a room quite close by.

She gasped at it.

"What was that unearthly noise!?" She wondered.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_35f930c3.jpg)

HALL- 12:00 PM


Hogarth couldn't seem to make it to bed. The reason? He was dealing with complaints all night. It was midnight and it was really quite tiresome. Especially since everyone all had the same complaint.

"I insist, the food here has made me sick to my stomach!" Plum insisted.

Hogarth tried to explain.

"Well, I'm sure there must have bee.."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_d5f840e8.jpg)

Miss Scarlet interrupted him.

"Poison," She declared, "It feels like I've eaten a mild helping of poison!"

That's when Hogarth realized, he knew who was responsible.

"In that case, I'll have a talk with Mrs. Whit..."

Before he could finish, there was an ear-piercing scream.

[size=18]"Arrrrraaaaagh!" [/size]

"Jiminy Crickets!" Plum cried.

[size=18]"Arrrraaaaahhhh ahhhhhh!!" [/size]

"Daisy?" Scarlet said aloud.

Sure enough, Miss Peach ran into the room. Her face pale, and tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Dead!" She cried, "Auntie's lover! He's been murdered!"

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_b5f841d4.jpg)

Shortly after saying this, she puked right on the Hall floor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Professor Bipin Corundum has been murdered! Miss Peach found his body at the foot of the cellar stairs. Inspector LeNoir has been sent in to discover which of the ten suspects at the house that day killed him. But, he's having problems and needs your help!


As a player, you can either ask a question, visit a room, or make a suggestion.

You may only ask SIX questions per day. You may only visit THREE rooms in total. Everyone can make a suggestion, but you can only make ONE suggestion per hour.

If any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Good luck and happy sleuthing!

Ooh! OK! Finally!
Can I by any chance inspect the body itself?

Ooooh... that's a good idea, Zorom!

I sent you the Cellar since that's where the body was found.

Hmm... I guess it would give too much away to see the body itself (because then you'd know the murder weapon almost immediately). So I suppose I'll start the guesswork now... Mrs White, the study, and the poison.

Cononel with the pistol in the Billiard room.

rachel631...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/WhPoSt.jpg)

Right from the start, we can eliminate Mrs. White.....

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/cluedocards-suspects2.jpg)
.....the Poison......

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/cluedocards-weapons2.jpg)
...and finally, the Study.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/cluedocards-rooms2.jpg)

Zorom...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/MuPsBi.jpg)


This lets Colonel Mustard walk free...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/cluedocards-suspects2-1.jpg)
...relief suspicion from the Pistol...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/cluedocards-weapons2-1.jpg)
...and as well as the Billiard Room.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/cluedocards-rooms2-1.jpg)

Prof. Plum, the wrench, the lounge.

Just out of curiosity, what led you to that suggestion?

heheh

His skull was bashed in, so I thought of something heavy, like, say a wrench.
And Prof Plum had good reason to be annoyed at him. And he was using the wrench.

Why do you want to know?

Well, I was just curious because...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/PlWrLo.jpg)

This takes Professor Plum off the list...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/cluedocards-suspects2-2.jpg)

....along with the Wrench...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/cluedocards-weapons2-2.jpg)

..and the Lounge.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/cluedocards-rooms2-2.jpg)

xD

ok. The Lead pipe, Cap. Brown in the library

This may sound a bit left field, but...

Mrs Peacock, with the candlestick, in the library?

Zorom....

rachael631...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/PkCdLi.jpg)


At this point, now that you guys are getting closer to the final answer, I definitely recommend some interrogation with the suspects.


In the meantime, consider this extra evidence....

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/InspectorLeNoir.jpg)"Vell now, what else iz there to ze story...."


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

DINING ROOM- 9:30 AM


"Mrs. White, that meal...it was rather funny tasting," Miss Peach commented.

"Would you care for seconds?" Mrs. White asked, "The second time around always tastes better..."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_55f82614.jpg)

Miss Peach grimaced.

"No...thank you." She replied.

Then she paused.

"Is something wrong, Mrs. White?" She asked suddenly, "You don't sound...your perky little self this mornin'."

"Oh nothing is wrong, miss," Mrs. White replied, "Except....that pompous, piece of fraudulent cow dung is going to marry the missus and I'll be expected to pander to his intellectual hiney."

"What!?" Miss Peach replied shocked, "Why would he be fraud?"

"Money..." White replied, "That's all he's here for. Mrs. Peacock's money."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOUNGE- 11:12 PM

"Reverend?" Miss Peach asked as Rev. Green entered the room, "What are you still doing here?"

"Oh, I was...just looking for somebody...." He replied.

"Who? Auntie?" Peach asked, "I just passed by her at the stairs. I had to tell her some awful news..."

Then she noticed the Razor in his hands.

"Why are you holding that, Reverend?" She asked, "You don't shave, do you?"

Green's face turned red.

"I actually can't remember why I picked it up..." He admitted.

"Perhaps you should give it to me..."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_15f83c60.jpg)

LIBRARY- 11:20 PM


"Halt you!"

[size=18]

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_b5f83f77.jpg)

BLAM!!!
[/size]


The figure spun around.

"Do you require anything sir?" Mrs. White asked, suspiciously.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_35f84069.jpg)


"No...err...sorry about that Mrs. White," Mustard replied, his face turning red from ear to ear, "Quick....let's get out of here. There is somebody coming..."

Mrs Peacock, the razor, in the library,

Time to search the library, methinks.

yethinks right.

And i would like to quiz Ms. Peacock.

Actually, for some reason me also thinks to ask about Mrs Peacock, with the globus, in the library. Is that somewhat closer? The description of the body (as shared by you, Zorom!) renders this somewhat easier :-)

Mrs. Peacock + Lead Pipe + Library

To interrogate a suspect, you must actually pose a question and I'll provide their response. You can ask anything. Something related, something irrelevant, something off colour, something funny...etc.

Zorom...

rachel631, while that seems like a suggestion, the way you worded it, I can't tell if it's a suggestion or speculation. Get back to me on it please. :)

Yep, it's a suggestion. Mrs peacock, library, and globus. Because I make out that it can only be one of two answers now.

Well I can now reveal that the body had been dragged from the Library...the Globus was found smeared with blood....but as for the perpetrator of this fowl crime...it was indeed Mrs. Ethylene Peacock!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/PeacockGlobusLibrary.jpg)

"It was many months ago we met in India. I was vacationing in Calcutta to get away from the renovations in my home when we both crossed paths in the hotel. His grace, his intellect, his charm. He was simply so dashing that he swept me off my feet! Professor Bipin Corundum. if it wasn't his name alone, it was his passion for the wild that I found irresistible. What's more, he was more than accommodative to allow me to accompany him on his exploits into the jungle to study the species of birds. It was simply a dream come true for I love birds. Darling, graceful creatures, much like I found him to be. After months together, there was no question about it. We were...to be married. Hopefully, to someday continue our pursuits for the wild birds of the world.

However, it was no sooner that we joined together back in Canada that my heart and dreams were cast to the wind! How did I come to realize this? Well,  I was with Colonel Mustard when we heard voices happening in the Ballroom. As soon as he gone in to have a word, I listened at the door. It was Bipin's wonderful voice, but it wasn't the wonderful man I heard. Something wasn't....like him. From that moment on, my suspicions about him reluctantly took flight. I couldn't believe he would behave like that!

Later, when we went to bed, I was prepared to forget how he behaved earlier on, but then he left me alone when I told him that I had a spare of the book I wrote lying about. Something seemed strange. He cared more about the book than me. Therefore, I felt only right to go downstairs and check up on him. On the way, I passed by my niece. That was when she told me....he was a fraud! I couldn't believe it....I wouldn't believe it. But then, it all seems to click. Back in India....I gladly did all the research. My knowledge on birds was vast! With his charm, he led me to believe that he was doing all the work all along. I was....a fool to be taken by this con-man!

Then I realized...I wasn't going to let him leave my heart. I had to KILL him from my heart. He had...to die. First I went to the Study to gather something to take for the awful feeling I felt in my stomach. However, the horrible feeling helped fuel my hate for this man. Besides, I saw the Globus first....waiting for me on the mantle....

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_75f931a6.jpg)

From then, I acted fast. After Clifford and Mary exited the Library, I saw him go in (Clifford didn't see him, thank God. That would have been nasty). I waited a minute or two, before I gather myself and entered the Library myself. Sure enough, he found the second copy I left him. I knew he'd be smart enough to look for the book in the Library. He wasn't smart enough however to realize that I had found out about him. It was now only a matter of seconds.....

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_15f934bc.jpg)

The Globus felt primed and ready in my fist as I lifted it over his head....

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/snapshot_3597dd33_35f936df.jpg)


....and in no time flat, his head exploded all over the desk! I didn't expect that. It was quite a gruesome sight. Unfortunately, I didn't leave enough time for myself to clean up the mess after I dumped his body in the Cellar. It's too bad he didn't take the years to become a REAL professor. Those brains on the desk might have been good for something...."

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v617/Cluedokid25/Sims%202%20Cluedo/Peacockbars.jpg)

Congratulations rachel631! You cracked the case of Knowledge is Deadly and won the game of Cluedo!

Ace! I do have one question though... why did Mrs White hate the Prof. so much? I never figured that one out...

Prof. Corundum left a bad impression on Mrs. White and she felt he was only marrying Mrs. Peacock for her wealth.

But anyway, congratulations for winning. Hope you enjoyed the confession.

I always do! Must say, it was a bit of a stroke of genius to describe the corpse as bashed about, as it only eliminated three weapons (the razor, rope and dagger). It wasn't nearly as helpful as it could have been, which I thought was clever.
