As a result, this event has been canceled and will instead slowly be played out as a regular subplot on the side. I know a few of you were looking forward to it finally starting so I apologize on having to cancel it.

As the promise of winter holidays approach, spirits are high and some even border on generous. Yet there are those who harbor ill-intent in their bosoms...<br/><br/>Within the walls of up-and-coming Waxing Rhapsodic, making a strong impression and staying on top of the game is not merely a necessity but a ticket to future success. It seems that despite polite smiles and idle chatter, not all is well. Who knows what one hides behind a pleasant exterior? Could he be plotting to oust her out of the next shoot? Could she be planning to end his career for good? <br/><br/>Tensions rise as a horrible death occurs and now none can be sure of the other. Just how trustworthy are you? Or rather, just how much can you trust another?</del></em></div><br/><div align="center"><del>*     *     *     *     *</del></div><br/><del>Hello everyone~<br/><br/>For the first event that Waxing Rhapsodic will encounter, the GMs have decided a murder mystery would be fun. It will start with the inevitable death of someone (we are still currently deciding who exactly, but you shall no doubt find out soon!...Have no worries for it shall be an NPC!) and from there we ask for all players to cooperate. <br/><br/>Of course, you will no doubt eventually figure things out OOCly, however please don't let this affect the way your character acts. So...if you think you know who the culprit is, don't suddenly spring it IC even though your character may not have all the knowledge and evidence it had needed to figure it out (the way you did in OOC).<br/><br/>As it is, an atmosphere of uncertainty and tension, full of second-guessing and doubts along with lack of trust...that's definitely what we're going for here. No one character will have the entire story, instead, everyone will end up getting bits and pieces from each other and will draw their conclusions from what little they know. Etc. Sort of like a crazy version of telephone in a way.<br/><br/>If anyone would like to be a little more involved with the event and would like to help nudge it along in some direction (perhaps stubbornly thinking it HAS to be HIM/HER even if there's no reason as to why besides gut instinct) then feel free to send a PM inquiring about it.<br/><br/>Hope you guys enjoy this and have tons of fun! (Like how we did while planning it.)</del>
