I kind of want to do a werewolf murder mystery role play revolving around a college campus. Does anyone want to be my co-GM?

Just a friendly reminder that the guy who founded the Texas RenFest in 1974 has been the mayor of the sponsoring town since 1982. #AmericanPolitics

Quietly, although not quite peacefully, Aurora had waited for Barrock to collect his information. Her lips were holding back a tremble as she thought of Zara. She had been there for both her mother and her father when they had passed onto the next life. The darkness had hardly taken a hold of her during both those times.
Rowan was all she had left, and she was all he had left. They both clung to each other dearly. And yet, she felt a change within herself when he showed little remorse for Zaraโs death. She blamed herself. How had she become so attached to another creature in such a short amount of time?
She thought about what her father had taught her what he had known about humans. Was this a power they held? Curiously, she thought of Vasco. She could not bare to lose another precious soul.
The emptiness remained, unfilled, the more she contemplated her state and why she was so distraught, until the blackness overcame her. Her skin felt anxious and calm all at the same time. For a brief moment, she began to see color.
Yellow. Red. Blue.
It was a consuming flame, growing brighter and brighter, and she was becoming one with it, until the sight became almost unbearable. It was intense and colorful, like a blinding image becoming clearer and clearer through the black abyss.
Vasco was there. He had so many scars sketched over his skin. It never ceased to amaze Aurora how little she noticed as a blind creature when vision like this grappled her.
And there, nearly crunched between lodging floor and orc was her brother, her dear brother with silvery locks, draping. (How did she know it was a lodge?) Rowan looked dead to her, though, something โ a little thing, like a pale fire, still flickered beneath his skin. She could sense it in the nearly whiteness of his cheeks.
There were others, like another Dark Elf, different from the who had murdered Zara. There was a Demihuman, too โ
She saw so much in so little time, like a flashback or something. Voices, a tackle, a kiss.
Then suddenly, a deep voice echoed through the vision. The sight blurred with the darkness. One became the other, and the other became one. It was unreasonable how they merged and transformed into each other. But so they did, and they disappeared and travelled far away to allow her blindness its own passage, again.
"What happened?" Barrock was asking when Aurora awakened from her vision. The firm fire within the good Orc was blazing and momentous.
โIโฆโ Her mouths as trying to mouth what had happened. โIโm sorry, Iโฆ I had a vision,โ her voice was in a hushed whisper, like she was telling him a secret. โVasco and my brother are in danger,โ she paused to catch her thoughts. โat the River Port Lodge.โ Again, another pause. โThey are being attacked by Orcs, a Demihuman andโฆ a Dark Elf.โ
Her hands came to the hood of her cloak. They tugged at the seams, pulling and casting more of a shadow over her face. โWe should hurry and go, now.โ She did not bother to ask if he had gotten what he needed.
She was dressed in something classy but different. It was obviously too eccentric for Witchโs Vogue, but it lacked the oddities than many independently styled witch robes had. To keep with her patriotic loyalty to her House, the gown was a dark blue color. It accentuated her figure without disturbing too much of the imagination.
โDelightful and dallying,โ her mother might have said.
Whatever adjective to use, Seraphima felt upbeat about the ordeal, especially when she ate one of the bourbon chocolate biscuits. She puckered her lips together, โThese are delicious,โ she said aloud to no one in particular. She would not mind to have another one, and just as she was about to take a bit she spotted Tรฆnar.
Seraphima admired the womanโs outfit as her eyes drifted to her dog. She thought of what a cute and adorable creature the puppy was, and then, just as she was taking another bite of her second bourbon chocolate biscuit, her eyes landed on Reggie. She had seen him outside this morning, but he most definitely did not show during lunch.
He was a jockey, competitive looking guy, and she could not help but smile โ mostly for the taste of the air she once knew when she was flying her broom during Quidditch. โCanโt say I donโt fancy a man who knows his Quidditch,โ Seraphima teased Reggie. โSwell of you to not join us for lunch, come sit with us. She nodded towards the table that Tรฆnar was sitting. She was not technically by herself, but by all means, this was a party.
Now, it is quite certain that Seraphima was not much of a people person herself, but in her age, she had reasoned that she might as well go out on a limb for this occasion, at least for her first go-around, especially if the tree were for Hogwarts. โI believe weโre still on the subject of who the new headmaster could possibly be.โ
She sat down next to Tรฆnar and tapped the table in front of the seat she thought best suited Reggieโs occupation. โAs a Ravenclaw, I feel slightly embarrassed to not have a single theory on who the new headmaster could be. One would think, once you get older and start to know people youโd have a better grasp on things of this sort.โ
There was a chance she came off a tad snobby with the last comment, but really, it was meant in good taste โ whether she cared or not was probably out of the question. Her faux pas were notorious for leaving people flat and causing more mischief leading to awkward social etiquette.
โMy name is Seraphima, by the way, I had not caught any of your names at lunch orโฆ well, since you didnโt show up,โ she smirked at Reggie.
