[Thursday, January 9, 2020, Tepig Cathun’s birthday] [Cathun’s house]
"I guess I'm out of money. You win today"
Tepig shoots a glance up at their opponent, "When has running out of money ever stopped you from making a bet before?" She looks down at her necklace with an obsidian stone, "I highly doubt you have nothing you'd else you’d be willing to bet"
Her opponent rolls their eyes and thinks for a second, and shoots a glance at Cathun, where she can immediately tell they have a bet on their hands. She smiles.
"Let's do this"
[Friday, January 10, 2020] [Outside building]
The house is stuck in time and only shows itself to someone with the clothes and personality of someone from the 20s.
"Whatever, probably just wanted me to wear this stupid outfit to the house because they’re salty they lost it."
[Saturday, January 11, 2020] [Cathun’s room in the manor]
"So the deed is going to be handed over on Thursday. I think having a celebration could be fun"
Cathun sits at her desk and begins to write a series of ten letters.
[Dear [recipient],
A close friend has recently given me a house and is planning to give me the deed on Thursday night, so I invite you to a dinner party to celebrate.
Although there is something strange about the house. It only exists in the 1920s. And as such, to enter the house's grounds you must be dressed in apparel from the time period and have the personality of the era.
If you try to bring any items from the present age the house will simply never appear for you. I have added some extra information for the party, with your “role” or personality and where to find your rental clothes (as well as an image for assistance).
The butler of the house, Stu, will come to your home on the night to escort you in their mysterious time traveling car, I hope to see you all on Thursday. It'll be a night to remember. I promise.
Sincerely, your friend,
Tepig Cathun]
After sending out the letters Cathun sighed to herself, "A 1920s themed party, because of a house trapped in time, huh. If they weren’t my friends they’d probably think I’m insane."
She looks at her hands, "Is it really a house trapped in time though? That wouldn't make sense, but they have no reason to lie to me. I don't understand.”
[Thursday, January 16, 2020] [Foyer] [8:00 PM]
The recipients begin to walk into the Foyer, first to arrive is the Jazz Singer, Clarice Rose Jenson.
Once the singer walks in she stares at the room in awe and begins to search the drawers in the room.
Next to arrive is Victoria Sarnoff, the radio show host. She looks around the room and sees Clarice, "So Cathun did invite others. Let's see how many of us there are then."
Victoria sits at a desk in the room and sees the next person walk in, the actor, Adrian Silke. Adrian looks around the room, greets Victoria and sits next to her.
Next to arrive was Clara Reese Ruiz, the Heiress. She looks around talking to herself "I expected bigger." She walks over to Victoria and Adrian and starts a conversation.
Next to arrive was Spencer Roger, the mafioso, who begins to pace the room, looking at everything in the room.
Following soon after was the journalist, Ante Swift. After looking at the room he walks to the group, "Anyone see Cathun yet? I don't see em here." The group all shake their heads no.
Soon after, the next to enter was the Flapper, Opek Koga. She looks around amazed.
"Who are these people? How'd Tepig get this place?" Opek walks over to the group and joins in their conversation.
Next to enter was Myra Garcia, the mime, who looked in awe and seemed excited, walking over to the group of people talking. Not saying a word in the conversation, just listening.
The next to arrive was Taylor Williams, the Fixer. He looks around the room, looking at what Spencer was staring at "why's he looking at a lamp?" He walks over the bigger group of people who're talking and joins their conversation.
Last to arrive was the bartender, Percy Billingsly.
"Late as usual, it seems". He walks around the room and introduces himself to Clarice and Spencer, then to the large group of people.
[Foyer] [5 minutes later]
A voice suddenly speaks from above everyone, "Ah. Everyone has arrived"
Looking up to the second floor everyone sees the host, Tepig Cathun, "Dinner will be ready soon; Come, follow me to the dining room on the second floor." Everyone followed and soon they all arrived at the dinner table.
The man who drove them all there entered the room from the kitchen, followed by a woman.
"These two are here to serve. Stu here drove you here tonight and will be driving you home after the party, Hazel behind him is here to answer questions you might have tonight"
Stu begins to speak, "The food is ready."
Hazel enters the kitchen and comes out with several plates of food. After three minutes, all the food was laid out on the table. Soon everyone begins to eat and chat.
