Daring Diamond Robbery!

Caroline Apollo hired Edward Manray, my cousin, to work as a guard at her opening party for her new jewelry store in Lo Lo this evening. A pair of diamond rings, one man's and one a woman's ring, were prominently displayed. After about an hour of merriment, the rings disappeared!

Ed began to question all the guests, some of whom had suspicious responses. The first question was always, "where were you when the rings disappeared?"

Lizzy Mornington: I was outside Sir With Naps (N71)

Madame Maracas: DJing ... pulling tuneage she gave me a ring beforehand, so I'm innocent

Helke Duettmann: in the parlor ... I had just come in from a walk..in the garden..for some air...

Edward Manray: with a candlestick? Did anyone see you out there?

Helke Duettmann: It's day time Mr. Manray..why would I need a candle..in the afternoon?

Edward Manray: well it ... oh I dunno don't look at me like that

Helke Duettmann: I am not at liberty to disclose the name of the person I met in the garden..reputations ...are at stake here Mr. Manray..checcky of you...and much to forward..for a gentelman..

Edward Manray: we are supposed to be forward

Helke Duettmann: I do NOT consort with people.. and men especiley..of such low station...GOODAY MR. Manray..

Edward Manray: you are the sort that gets away with things; just the sort I like to question

Helke Duettmann: GOODDAY MR MANRAY...

Francesca Balogh: right where i am--been dancing all the time :D

Edward Manray: ok ok, I think I believe you ... but don't go anywhere

Francesca Balogh: will be here. XD

Lilyana Dryke: when did it dissapear? i just got here 5 mintues ago

Edward Manray: about a half hour ago.

Lilyana Dryke: oh i wasnt here then

Edward Manray: ok lady, you can go

Lilyana Dryke: good luck ...thanks

Edward Manray: ironclad alibi

Lilyana Dryke: yep

Oilell Pinion: why, i was right here, Sir. Dancing with my partner, Kerry Ninetails.

Solivar Scarborough: Disposing of a body...er..of..water..yes..disposing of a body of water...big big puddle

Edward Manray: Mr. Scarborough ... that does not sound ... very likely

Solivar Scarborough: I was seating petis fours, and yes, I stuffed some extra in a napkin to take home
Solivar Scarborough: was eating reather
Solivar Scarborough: rather..see you have me so flustered I can't type

Rockie Rubble: dancing in the same spot I am in now, I have not moved lol ... how many were stolen?

Thaumata Strangelove giggles I was right here dancing, silly.

Panthar Orlowski: Running to my white van with no windows.

Edward Manray: hands up.

Hobbes Abattoir: I deny everything! I want my lawyer! My paws are too big for rings I tells ya!

Edward Manray: you are just the type to try something

Hobbes Abattoir: *puts on his halo, trying to whistle inncently* I know nothing! <- said like Klink

Valena Glushenko: I was in a yacht, off the coast of Cuba. (not here :P)

Edward Manray: I don't believe you

Valena Glushenko: Well i would say my husband would vouch for me, the late Viktor Glushenko, the billionaire, but he sadly passed away a number of days ago, at the age of 96. I still say it was Mrs White in the Library with a candlestick. In any case, I was not here, and I don't think you have the proof to prove otherwise, Mr Manray.

Edward Manray: I knew there was a candlestick involved

Mui Mukerji: which rings ? ohhhh

Edward Manray: yes maam, but I think we have the culprit

Leanne Coeyman: i just arrived, they were already missing when i got here

Voshie Paine: I was dancing here with everyone minding my own business thinking who would make a good snack ;-)

Brian Mason: *escapes!*

Edward Manray: dang

Edward Manray: STOP ESCAPING I CANT FIND MY GUN

Brian Mason: *smiles* why do you think I was the perfect criminal ?

Edward Manray: ok brian I thought you said you were a gentleman, and you ran like a coward

Brian Mason: *me peers over a newspaper* did I ?

Edward Manray: where are you? Edward Manray glares around the room

Brian Mason: hiding in plain sight

Edward Manray: you made it even more interesting; the usual perps are low lifes.
