Last night, Ruth ran the second of her murder mystery nights, which was cool. It didn’t work as fluidly as the first – partially
owing to, in my opinion, a less well-conceived pack, and partially because it turned out that Paul‘s character, who’s gender Ruth had
changed to facilitate the number of people available, was intended to be not only a murdress and an adultress, but also a wife and a mother, which made the plot somewhat confusing as we
tried to patch the holes with convenient “spot fiction”.
Nonetheless, Ruth and JTA put on a great night of food and fun; everybody’s costumes were great (I’ll try to ensure that some make it
online soon), and the evening wore on and folks trickled away home (or staggered away, in Paul’s case) and those that remained drunk themselves philosophical and all was well with the
world.
There’s nothing quite as funny as Paul in a drunken fight with a cigarette holder.
