One of the most prominent yet elusive people of Sleuthville, the legendary Big Lucy herself, is hitting a new milestone in life. While none are bold enough to inquire her age, rumors say this is a momentous occasion. The guest list is comprised of the most prominent and affluent people in Sleuthville and beyond.

However, some of Sleuthville's own working class have been invited-- not as guests, but as special operatives to patrol the event. They have been selected for their swiftness, skill, and intelligence. They will be entrusted with making sure that Big Lucy's Birthday Bash goes off without a hitch. But, as always, there are those who would rather see the event go down in flames.

A mere three minutes before the event is scheduled to start, the operatives are informed of an alarming development. There has been a breach within the ranks, and a number of spies have infiltrated the group! Having never seen each others' faces, there is no way to discern whose allegiance is true. The team has been compromised, but there is still a chance to save the evening.

The operatives' job this evening is to make sure Big Lucy's birthday celebration goes off without a hitch. If she is pleased at the end of the night, it is almost guaranteed that they will lead easy lives from thereon out. Whispers say Big Lucy may be more forgiving on her big day, but even she has her limits...

Will Big Lucy's birthday bash be a huge success, or will it succumb to the sabotage of the spies? Stay tuned to find out in this installment of The Resistance.

Mission 1: Chandelier Chaos

As the final guests trickle their way into the hall, an order is given for the doors to be shut. Music begins to play, and lights are directed toward the grand staircase, atop which where Big Lucy stands in an elegant black dress. Only her body up to her neck is illuminated; her face remains shrouded in darkness.

As she begins her descent, the music suddenly cuts out. Everyone looks at each other in confusion. Big Lucy freezes and swivels her head around, but says nothing. The only sound which can be heard above the nervous murmuring of the guests is a soft tinkling...

A high-pitched scream emerges from the crowd. "The chandelier!" a woman exclaims, pointing at the ornate fixture right above Big Lucy's head. It is precariously rocking from side to side.

Big Lucy's second-in-command, a burly giant, rushes up to Joseph Zeo. "Grab some of your people and save her!" he bellows.

Joseph Zeo is the leader for Mission 1.

Mission 1 will consist of THREE team members.

The first team leader has been given three advantages to distribute to whomever he sees fit. They are:

-NO CONFIDENCE: Receiver of this card can veto a successful vote on a mission proposal, causing it to fail and forcing leadership to move to the next player on the list.
-STRONG LEADER: Whoever receives this can use it to immediately become the leader, taking leadership away from the current leader. This can only be used BEFORE the current leader has given out abilities or proposed a mission team.
-OPINION MAKER: Receiver of this card must vote first publicly whether or not to approve a mission for the rest of the game. Must be used immediately.

Joseph, please assign these abilities when you're ready. Keeping an ability for yourself is also acceptable.

So, I am to go first *sweaty palms*... To be honest, I really have no idea how to play this game. Not 100% sure how all three abilities work either, but I'll just try as we play. Abilities assignments--

-NO CONFIDENCE: Marc Lacrimosa
-STRONG LEADER: Myself
-OPINION MAKER: Autumnsprings


The chandelier above Big Lucy's head precariously rocked from side to side. Joseph's heart jumped.

"Grab some of your people and save her!" Bruno yelled to Joseph. Zeo looked to those around him, who can he trust?

"Only myself, really," he murmured, but then he spotted Marc Lacrimosa and Autumnsprings, whom he hoped are reliable people.

"Marc, Autumn! Hurry, follow me!" Joseph called out. The three looked up the grand staircase.

(i realize everyone has to approve the team first, so i'll pause the action here)

Joseph has chosen to keep STRONG LEADER for himself.

Joseph has chosen to give his NO CONFIDENCE ability to Marc.

Joseph has chosen to give his OPINION MAKER ability to Autumn. Autumn must vote on the boards for the rest of the game on whether or not to approve a mission proposal.

Mission 1, Team 1

It is now time for the players to vote to either approve or reject this mission proposal. When you do vote, please send me a PM stating "Mission 1, Team 1: YES/NO."

BTW, just to be clear, everyone else should vote via pm. I'm the only one who votes publicly unless someone else also gets an opinion maker card.

Didn't want to confuse anyone. Also Announcer, that is right correct? And I only good publicly on mission teams. Yes?

Everything you said is correct, Autumn.

In response to a message I received, yes, I will be allowing vote changes as long as not all votes have been received yet. For you indecisive people. :)

If any newer players have questions about the game, please feel free to message me.
