Murder Mysterium - Night 4, Billiards Room
[ BAD END=DEAD END and necROMANTIC enter.
Lingering smoke hangs heavy in the air of the billiards room. The eponymous table stands square in the center of the room, making the place’s purpose clear. The forest green walls on either side are lined with racks, holding pool cues set horizontal like rifles ready to be taken on the hunt. A fire crackles in the hearth, the grate that sections it from the room patterned with organically erratic bronze branches, badly in need of polish on account of soot. On the mantle a leather cigar case sits closed, a box of matches waiting to be lit ablaze perches expectantly atop of it.
There isn't anything different beyond the usual decor of the room. However, the longer everyone stays, the more keenly aware they become of the quiet but steady tick-tick-tick in the background. There isn't a clock that makes that noise in sight . . . what could it be?
Oh, you both know what's going on. There's no question about it.
You'll have to pick out a different room to make sure this ends up being sent somewhere. If you fail to choose a different room, you'll be blown up. ]
