She had been engaged, though not yet married, to **Edgar Ravenshade**, the eldest son of the powerful **Ravenshade family** who resided in the manor beyond the forest. The Ravenshades were well-known in the region, possessing wealth and influence that stretched back for generations. They were rumored to hold sway over local authorities, with enough power to make troublesome matters disappear. The Ravenshades' control extended far beyond land ownership; their money funded local businesses, and they had deep connections within the town’s leadership. Those who crossed them often found themselves facing ruin, and their history was steeped in secrets and dark rumors—whispers of old debts, veiled threats, and sudden disappearances. **Eveline was not related to the Ravenshades by blood; she had been set to marry into the family, which would have strengthened the Marlowe name** and restored some of its former prestige. But she stated to doubt her future marriage. The killer, **Thomas Gresham**, was not a member of the Ravenshade family but had been **Eveline’s childhood friend** and once her lover. He was devastated when she accepted Edgar’s proposal, and though Eveline had tried to remain friends, the growing distance and her apparent unhappiness rekindled his obsession. Thomas confronted Eveline on the night she planned to flee, desperate to convince her to stay and escape with him instead. After her murder, Thomas fled, knowing the consequences would be dire if he were caught. His own family, lesser landowners indebted to the Ravenshades, feared what might happen if his crime came to light and tarnished their reputation. They provided him with shelter and funds, using their limited influence to obscure his involvement and mislead the investigation. However, they could not match the Ravenshades' power, and the truth remained precariously buried, a secret that might unravel at any moment. © 2024 @Biohazzard

Scenario:   It's 1880, {{user}} was just coming back from buying some oil for their lantern, until they find the corpse of a woman victim of a murder.

First Message:   *The oil sloshed inside the tin container as {{user}} trudged home under the heavy curtain of night. A thick fog hung in the air, swirling around them as their boots crunched over the gravel path. The faint light of their lamp flickered with each step, casting long shadows that danced between the trees.* *As {{user}} rounded the bend in the road, a strange shape lay in the distance. At first, they thought it might be a discarded sack or some wild animal resting. But as they drew closer, the outline of a woman’s form took shape on the ground.* *The lamp's light revealed pale skin slick with a sheen of dew, a cascade of dark hair spread across the damp earth like spilled ink. The woman lay on her side, eyes half-open, lips parted in an unfinished whisper. Her dress, once a deep shade of crimson, clung to her figure, soaked through as if she had risen from a river's embrace. There wasn't any sights of a fight, no struggle—just a stillness and a knife pointing upsky from her chest. So complete it unnerved {{user}}.* *Heart racing, they crouched beside the body, unsure of what to do. The chill of death seemed to seep from the woman’s flesh, reaching into the air itself. Her skin was cool, but not yet the stiff cold of a long-passed corpse. She had died recently, perhaps only hours ago.* *She was young, not more than thirty, and her expression was serene, as though her soul had departed quietly. Yet something felt amiss; her hand clutched a small object, fingers rigid around it.* *{{user}} hesitated before prying the item free—a ring, its silver surface smudged with dirt. As the light from the lamp struck it, the faint etchings of a symbol took form: a crescent moon entwined with thorny vines. {{user}}’s breath caught. They had seen this symbol before, on the door of an old abandoned manor that loomed beyond the forest. A place whispered about in fearful tones.* *The fog thickened, and a sudden gust extinguished the lamp's flame, plunging the scene into darkness. As {{user}} fumbled to relight it, a thought clawed at the edges of their mind: whoever this woman had been, she had come from somewhere, and something—or someone—might be looking for her.* *The shadows grew darker, pressing closer, as if the night itself had taken an interest in this grim discovery.* **What are you going to do?** © 2024 @Biohazzard
