Quoted By:
You are having trouble deciding on the dress to select for the evening. All the dresses you own are socially acceptable, of course, with some slightly more scandalous than others. You want to go with something more modest, but Mitzi believes that you would look much better in your red one, that reveals a bit more of the neckline and has a more audacious Eastern design. She sighs wistfully at the silly social norms that dictate you can't wear the same dress two evenings in a row, because the Killer still looks best on you, with or without the ruby. The red one is a close runner-up.
"Besides, the red one is easier to get out of", she winks.
"Mitzi!" you splash at her with water, while she gives an "eek" and dodges. "This is no laughing matter. What if Frederick could hear you now?"
"Oh, he's half a continent away. Besides, my lips are sealed. You will be a married woman soon enough; no harm in sampling the local quisine before that, as it were!"
"Such a 'meal' could turn out quite costly for the both of us, you know."
"Oh, you don't have to go all the way to the main course, if my lady catches my meaning."
"I catch it all too well. When did you become that much of a rascal?"
"'Tis the air, milady. It's thinner at this altitude."
"I'll show you thinner! Go and fetch me another towel."
You yourself have no idea or plan for what will happen this evening. A lady needs to be prepared for everything. You will, of course, be wearing your dress, and your ornate fan and reticule (a reticule is a small drawstring bag intended for a lady to wear her handkerchief and her smelling salts).
(choose one from each group:)
> Wear a modest dress.
> Wear a more provocative dress.
> Wear the ruby necklace.
> Don't wear the ruby necklace.
> Take the concealed dagger inside your bodice.
> Don't take the dagger.
> (other preparations?)
