General


Lets try this We try to write a story together. It ahs been done before and not everybody was happy.

So lets agree on a set of rules (and no I have no leverage to enforce them): If you don't agree I poiltely ask you to stay out of the thread.

* Lets write a detective story.
* Please ensure that you don't contradict what has happened before (Of course witnesses might give different (and contradictive) accounts. But if Agatha arrived with a red car it stay red. So the narrator's voice avoids contradictions.
* Please keep your contributions short and try to keep the overall atmosphere.
* Try to understand what has happened up to the point where you add and try to develop that, don't insist on your version.

I do hope that this is fun.


Agatha arrived in her small red car. She had been called in for consulting again. Her previopus succes as a forensic psychologist had been noted by the police.
The first person she encountered was a young policewoman she knew by the name of Sally Miller, she told her that she was her offical assistant for the case, and she begin to brief Agatha:
"In the house here live eight people. They from a comunity and have been living together for several years. In the moring one of the group, a retired history professor Gregory Pecker phoned for an ambulance after finding Marjorie Brwon liveless at the foot of the stairs. When a medical doctor arrived he found that she had broken her neck, probably due to a fall. However there was a strange odour emanating from the body of the deceased, causing the doctor to call in the police. A forensic specialist determined the smell as to be froma potent poison and a sample has been sent to the lab to find out more.
All other inhabitants had been in their various rooms and no foreign person had been seen noticed to have been around. Each person claimed to have been in their verious rooms until they were disturbed by Prof. peckers finding of the body."

Agatha asked Sally to arrange interviews, at the station, with the 7 living occupants of the house, starting with professor Pecker.

Agatha thought for a moment and said, “ Great idea. Get them all involved and the case should be resolved in no time”.👍

Then Agatha thought for another moment and decided: There will be chaos, one will try to outsmart the others. However my bet is on Hercules Poirot and his little grey cells.

Funny you should mention “grey cells” because the pathologist, Dr. Death, lovingly called that by his daughter, is looking at just that area, thinking there may be a connection, albeit somewhat, a shot in the dark.

Before jumping to conclusions, let's wait to hear the result from the autopsy - was the death caused by the fall down the stairs or poison? Mind you it could be both, Poirot stated and Agatha agreed.

Poirot said: I will need full access to all rooms and nobody is allowed to enter before I have finished my inspection.

Whereupon Agatha blushed crimson--but it was not immediately apparent whether because of the sudden display of nudity, or the whereabouts of Miss McKenna.


sam spade emerged from his time machine
"great gams, agatha. a girl will do alright lookin like you do"


spade continued, “my way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey-wrench into the machinery.”
at which point he and klute began to tango


"Lets try to get this into some order" said Agatha and asked everybody to sit down in a big circle in the living room. Sally was to keep the big group company and Agatha would talk to the community members one by one.
