RAINY DAY IN THE CONSERVATORY
Written By Ashley Neilson
Yay, here's my shot at writing a Clue fanfic, in a manner of speaking. This is like a continuation of Ken's story, so... don't expect it to be as good; sequels never are. Enjoy!
The character descriptions are as follows:
Ms. Scarlet (Kendra) is a slut;
Mrs. Peacock (Daina) is a proper old lady;
Mrs. White (Ann) is the French maid;
Mr. Green (Ken) is the business person;
Col. Mustard (Yoru/Ashley) is the military man;
Prof. Plum (Nick) is an absent-minded professor;
Mr. Boddy (Marni) is the one everyone's trying to
kill.
There we go. Enjoi shimasu!
--------------------------------------------
It was a dull, rainy afternoon at Marni Manor. Everyone had been invited there again under the premise that there would be tea, cake and other such goodies, but by the time everyone had arrived Marni had eaten all the cake, Ann had stuffed the tea bags down her shirt and was bashing the owner of the house with a silver platter. So, since it had begun to rain, the group decided to sit in the conservatory for a chat.
"I'm bored!" Marni Boddy moaned, sitting at the left end of an oddly placed plush sofa. She had taken Ann's feather duster and was dusting her ugly glasses with it.
"Shut up!" Ann cried from her perch at the other end of the couch, throwing a pillow at Marni. She laughed as Marni's glasses were knocked out of her hand. Nick Plum, who was absent-mindedly roaming about the conservatory, picked them up and started dancing around with his new possession. Marni, fumbling around for her lost glasses, accidentally touched Ann's thigh.
"You whore!" Ann White shrieked, reaching into her shirt and pulling out the Wrench. She promptly smacked the offensive girl on the noggin with her newfound weapon.
"Rainy days are so very dull." Kendra Scarlet sighed, lounging on a plush fainting couch. It too was rather out of place in the Conservatory; in the midst of all the boredom the guests had taken it upon themselves to find amusement in moving select pieces of furniture around the manor.
"Hm, yes." Ken Green agreed. "Though, I'd rather be here and bored than out in this dreadful rain. I'd ruin my lovely, lovely green suit!"
"Oh, shut up about your green suit." Yoru Mustard said, arms crossed. Mustard's yellow suit had been replaced with a much nicer navy blue one (with a yellow handkerchief in the breast pocket, keeping with the whole "mustard" theme).
"I have an idea!" Daina Peacock exclaimed, hopping down from a book trolley taken from the library. "Let's try to kill Marni again!"
"Yes, let's!" Ken nodded, stuffing the Rope up his sleeve.
"I'm up for that." Yoru said, pushing Nick for no apparent reason. "That should pass the time." Marni's glasses flew up in the air as Nick fell, landing on the couch next to their owner. Marni's chubby fingers found them and put them on, again able to see her would-be murderers.
"Alright, it's settled then." Marni smiled, getting up and running to the door. "We're all going to try to kill me, the most evil on the Manor. Cackle cackle!"
Yoru glared as she picked up a chair and threw it at Marni's fleeing form. Kendra slowly got up, put down her lollipop and headed out in the direction she figured Marni would go.
The lighting was good, but not great, so some guesswork would have to be done as to where they were all going.
Nick made his way into the library, finding the Leadpipe.
"Oh goody!" Nick exclaimed, putting it in his pocket. "Too bad I can't burn anything with it though. Drat."
"Marni, where are yoooooooooooooou?" Ann called, taking the secret passage from the conservatory to the lounge. "MARNI!"
"Oh no!" Marni cried, seeing Ann jump out from the passageway. She thundered down the hall towards the kitchen, Ann on her tail the whole way.
Meanwhile, Daina was searching the Billiard room for a weapon. 'I'll kill Marni for sure this time!' She thought. She came across the Gun laying under a pink flamingo from the garden outside. 'Excellent.'
Ken had left the Conservatory and wandered to the Study, not seeing Marni. He walked into the kitchen where he found Kendra with the Knife. Sneaking up on her, he used the Rope to strangle her and take the Knife, leaving his weapon on the unconcious woman.
Yoru wandered from the ballroom into the hall, where through pure chance he found the candlestick. He was about to light it to increase visibility when something came thundering towards him. As it went by, missing him by no more than an inch, another (shrieking) person came running through.
"Look out!!" Ann cried, smacking into Yoru and knocking both of them over.
"Get the hell off me, you freak!" Yoru shouted, pushing the maid off him.
"Watch where you're going!" Ann shrieked, smacking Yoru with the Wrench. "I was hot on Marni's trail!" "ME watch where I'm going?? YOU smacked into ME!!" An irate Yoru continued, the Wrench having little effect on his anger. "Don't hit me, you dolt! Give that to me!!"
Yoru took Ann's weapon and went off in search of Marni. Ann got up soon after, shrieking all the way.
Two guests met in the Hall and exchanged weapons before parting, heading in opposite directions.
The conscious guests continued to move about the manor, all searching for Marni. The lights suddenly went out, as they randomly do.
One of the guests exchanged their weapon for the one Kendra had been subdued with, taking advantage of the dark.
"Don't you touch me!" Ken cried. Apparently there was more than one person taking advantage of the dark.
"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRNIIII!!!" Ann's shrieks reverberated throughout the manor.
The lights came back on then as suddenly as they'd turned off.
Nick wandered from the hall to the Conservatory, bored of this game. He leaned on the wall and fell into the secret passageway, which he followed into the lounge. "Daina, hi!" He greeted, finding Daina wandering in search of another weapon to add to her arsenal. "Look what I have!"
"Excellent." She smiled as Nick produced the Knife. She walked up and pistol-whipped him, taking the Knife. Nick dropped to the floor, unconscious.
"MARNI!" Ann exclaimed, jumping into the Kitchen dramatically as she had in the Lounge. Sure enough, Marni was there, trying to hide behind a life-size statue of KD Lang. "Ooh, Marni! I've found you again!" She advanced on the owner of the manor but, when it came time for the killing to commence, realized that she hadn't a weapon. She laughed and scanned the room for something to use. Upon spying the Wrench near the still immobile Kendra she ran to grab it. Unlucky for her, when she turned around to finish the job Marni was already gone.
"MAAAAAAAAAARNIIIII!!" She cried, pushing the KD Lang statue to the ground before dashing out into the hall. "I bet you're in the Dining room!!"
One of the male guests snuck through the secret passageway towards the Study. Another guest came from the opposite way and, upon meeting the other somewhere in the middle, engaged in a brawl. The victor dropped the weapon they had obtained at the starting of the Marni-killing fiasco of the day, picked up the other guest's only weapon and exited the secret passage.
Kendra, finally waking up from her unintentional rest in the Kitchen, awoke to see someone exit the room and walk down the hall. She decided to follow, but lost them and decided to search instead for the illusive humpback whale that was Marni. She walked through the secret passageway and, finding the Candlestick, she exited into the Study and ran down the Hall.
"Oh no, I lost my mustard yellow handkerchief." Yoru sighed upon seeing his empty breast pocket, wondering where it could be. "Hm..."
Daina wandered back into the lounge, fully frustrated at her inability to find Marni. She was about to sit down on a crate next to the resting Nick when she saw someone sneaking along in the hallway outside. She stood, hoping it was Marni, when something konked her on the head.
"Don't take my weapon!" Her assailant yelled, grabbing up the Gun. "Oh, wait, this isn't my weapon. Sorry, Daina!"
Marni, having heard Ann's prediction, changed her course and headed for a different room. She sat in the corner, clutching a rubber duck in her hands protectively.
"It's just you and me, little rubber duck." She whispered loudly. Just then, one of the guests came into the dimly lit room. Marni shook with fear. Even with her compromised intelligence Marni knew who it was; she had seen them exit this room earlier while thundering about. "Oho, duck, it looks like I'll be killed. Vive la France."
The duck popped out of Marni's hand as the unknown guest quickly swooped over to the corner and took out their weapon.
"Die, Marni!" The voice whispered before throwing the wrench to the ground and using the other weapon to dispose of Marni with.
