Dinner Party To Die For

Chapter 1: The Night Is Young

          The name of this young man is, Kevin Proper. His family isn't the richest or the poorest. They rest at about middle class level. But then, how did his great great grandfather get the estate? Nobody knows. They seem to think that it was given to him by a friend or a relative of his. But nobody knows the actual answer. Kevin starts writing invitations and has decided that for each person he invites. He will give them each a persona. He starts to write it all out.

          The invitations read, "My beloved friends, I have just inherited a house from a relative I never knew and would like to invite you and 10 others to a dinner party. To attend, you must look, act, and wear clothes from the 1940's. Be warned, no electronics will work here and anything brought from the common era will simply disappear. To make this a bit more friendly, I have attached a different persona to the back of this invitation. In the box is an outfit I have provided for your role. The house will not show up in the new era. I will send a carriage to come pick you up one by one tonight. Best Regards, Kevin."

          And slowly but surely, all of his friends start showing up. First, Jack showed up, he was given the role of, "The Artist". He was wearing a pair of white gloves with little splotches of paint on them, and a nice dark teal dress shirt with a long black over coat and a violet tie. Next was Kevin's good friend, Sally, she was, "The Reporter". She had a notepad, pen, and an old-fashioned voice recorder in hand, with a pale pink and very puffy dress on. Alex walked in next. She was, "The Caretaker". She was in one of the most iconic maid outfits, all black with a white lace apron atop it. Next, Zeke and Alice walked in they were twins who were both given the same role of, "The Psychics". Zeke wore a nice suit with accents of jewelry and a little violet here and there. His twin, Alice, wore a lot of low hanging jewelry and a light green blouse that revealed one shoulder and had a light purple, see-through scarf on her other shoulder. Kevin mostly did this because of the idea of twins having the same ideas. Next was Sarah, "The Chef". She had on a nice little outfit that was white and had had a tall hat gently resting atop her head. After her, the one Kevin had known since kindergarten walked in, James, "The Tailor". He had measuring tapes all over him, he brought some pencils and scissors while wearing his light brown overcoat, slick, black shoes and gray shirt. The next person to walk in was, Carl, "The Graverobber". He had the normal troublemaker outfit on. It was mostly black, and some royal blue. He put on some makeup to make his face look dirty to really look like he was in the graveyard. Then two people were going to go out tonight for dinner and were invited instead, they came at the same time, Joseph and Lily. Joseph was "The Bounty Hunter", and Lily was "The Guard". Joseph came in all black pleather and he was given a fake crossbow with his costume so he brought that. Lily was the person that was supposed to make everyone feel safe. And her outfit portrayed that perfectly. She had on a long blue skirt and blue jacket with a bright red collar, and she had gotten a prop gun and sword. The last one to arrive was, Cassandra "The Designer". She was in almost the same thing as Sally, she had a pencil, magnifying glass, sketchpad, and a big, puffy sea green dress on.  As they all waited in the foyer, Kevin started to slowly make his way down the stairs. He gave himself the role of, "The Beholder".

          And as he slowly made his way down the stairs, he stopped at a landing overlooking the room. And started walking to the next landing. When he reached the last one, he turned and said, "Welcome, to my new house. I had inherited it years ago but could not move in until I was on my own. Today is the first time I have seen the house and been inside. I hope to make many memories here. And those memories, begin with us tonight. Some people I would like to introduce you to are' Karen and Sal. Karen is the Maid and Sal is the Butler. They were the ones that had cleaned the house up after all those years." He got applauded by all the guests. They started talking with one another.

          "So how did you get the house again?" Alice asked

          "Yeah I was a little confused by that too." Zeke told Kevin.

          "Well, decades ago, my great great grandfather went missing and one day returned home. He said he was leaving and packed up and left. He had somehow gotten this house. But one morning, he was found dead by the old staff of the house. Nobody knew how he died. So they just buried him that night next to the house. And in his will, he requested nobody should enter the house until his great great grandson is born, and that it shall become his. And that explains how I got the house."

          All of the people that Kevin had invited tonight all had the same job as him. They were all YouTubers. And two of them had the role that they show on their channel. Those would be Jack and Sarah. Jack has a whole channel about how to draw while Sarah cooks and bakes. Everyone else got one to match their personality. But Kevin is the Beholder just because he's holding this party.
