It appears to be built into the side of a huge scenic valley, with a small lift going down to the lower area. The scene shifts to Ross, in his bedroom, putting on a suit, and putting his pistol into its concealed holster. Ross walks into the ballroom. Sarathress, Kotera, Montse, Feodora, and Chris are chatting in a group. Alastair is hunched over the bar. Ivan looks anxious in the corner. Ari looks very uncomfortable in a formal dress. ARI Do people actually wear these on a regular basis? I can't reach my knives well... ROSS Please do not tell me you brought your knife collection, Ari. ARI Damn right I did. ROSS Please refrain from stabbing anyone tonight. KOTERA Hey Ross, nice to see you again. How are things going? ROSS Quite good. Would you all be so pleased to wait here? I'm expecting some more guests in a minute. KOTERA Alright, take care. ROSS You too. Ross heads to the main door, unlocking it. ??? Am I expected? ROSS You are indeed, please come in. Randorn walks in, takes a glance at the room, and whistles. RANDORN Nice to meet you all, I am King Randorn of East Wolven. CHRIS Nice to meet you. MONTSE Nice to see I'm not the only part-animal here. ALASTAIR (noticeably uncomfortable) ...buncha furries. The doorbell rings. ROSS Excuse me. Ross walks to the door once again, and opens it. Alastair's wife, Marie walks in. MARIE Alastair, how the hell did you get out of the ICU? She runs to him. ALASTAIR ...partyyyyy... MARIE If you gave him alcohol, Ross, I will beat the s-- ROSS I did not. Marie lowers her fist. IVAN Why am I even here? Ross ignores the question, as the doorbell rings again. ROSS (sighs) Excuse me. Ross opens the door. ??? Greetings from Azur Deutschland! ROSS Sylvia and Julienne, I presume? SYLVIA You bet! ROSS Come in, come in. Sylvia walks in, holding Julienne's hand. SYLVIA Nice place. ROSS Thank you. The partygoers begin to converse. ROSS Alright, let's party! "Shake, Rattle and Roll" begins to play. The leaders begin to dance. IVAN I can't take this, I have to get some fresh air. Ross slides behind the bar. ROSS Drinks on me tonight. ALL (cheering) Alastair immediately looks up. MARIE Don't even think about it. ALASTAIR Got any whiskey? MARIE DO NOT GIVE HIM-- Ross fills a lowball glass with Jack Daniels. ROSS Cheers. Marie attempts to lunge at Ross. Ross blocks her. ROSS Is that really necessary? MARIE You bas-- Ross looks her in the eye. MARIE You'll see. Marie walks away. CHRIS Beer me. Ross slides a glass to him. ARI Surprise me. Ross slides her a glass of bourbon. ARI (confused) Why is this alcohol so strong? ROSS Probably because yours isn't distilled. ARI What's a distilled? ROSS You'll find out in a few hundred years. The scene shifts to Ivan, standing outside on the balcony, overlooking the valley. An unseen partygoer speaks from off screen. ??? Nice view, isn't it? IVAN I suppose so. ??? You smoke? IVAN No... ehh, why not? A gloved hand outstretches a cigarette. Ivan lights the cigarette, and coughs. IVAN How did you even start this habit? The partygoer pulls a silenced handgun, and fires once. Quickly, they lift Ivan up and over the railing. He falls down the valley. The partygoer leaves. The scene cuts to Ross in the bar. ROSS Alright, now that everyone has been properly introduced, how's dinner sound. The eleven partygoers walk into the dining room. Alastair is mildly intoxicated. ROSS Ah, here they come. Several waiters enter the room with bowls of soup. ROSS Where's Ivan? MARIE Is he missing? ROSS I don't know! KOTERA Well, we should probably look for him... ARI He's probably in the bathroom. The movie cuts forward to the end of supper. SARATHRESS He's been gone an awfully long time... ROSS Maybe he left. In any case, I have several gifts to hand out. As you all know, our last party went... not so well. I was diagnosed with second degree death afterwards, but the doctors were able to cure me. So, I want to give thanks to every one of you. Ross brings a large bag full of presents, which are wrapped in a white ribbon with black paper. He passes them out to the partygoers. ROSS Kotera, go first, then go around the room clockwise. Kotera opens his. A psychology textbook. Sarathress opens hers. A silver globe of Earth. Chris opens his. A loaded gold-plated revolver. Ari opens hers. A golden knife. Randorn opens his. A large bag of carrots. Montse opens hers. An expandable baton. Feodora opens hers. A container of high-quality cigarettes. Marie opens hers. A book titled "How to Reduce Alcohol Consumption/Addiction". Sylvia and Julienne open theirs at the same time. Two boxes of chocolate truffles. Alastair falls out of his chair. ROSS Was that really necessary, sir? Alastair eventually opens his present. A bottle of alcohol. Without hesitation, he opens the bottle and takes a sip. ALASTAIR This tastes like cat piss. ROSS That is a thirty-thousand dollar bottle of sherry. ALASTAIR (uncomfortable) Uh... It's getting better. Might just be an acquired taste... Ari twirls her knife, nearly stabbing Chris next to her. ARI This is pretty nice. CHRIS Please stop. Sylvia and Julienne have already finished the boxes of truffles. MARIE How did you even eat those that fast? They both shrug. ROSS Now, what about a tour? FEODORA That sounds lovely. MONTSE I... don't really want to be here. ROSS Oh come on, it'll be fun! Now follow me, let's go to the lower level. The doorbell rings. ROSS Looks like someone's late. He opens the door. ROSS I present to you, Artur and Serena. ARTUR Thanks for inviting us. ROSS I have a gift for you two! They open their present. A scale model of the Chernobyl plant and Pripyat area. SERENA How lovely. ROSS Anyway, let's start the tour! The partygoers get into the lift, and begin to descend. SARATHRESS The view is spectacular! (shocked) Is that a body? ROSS That's... Ivan. Ross stops the lift. MARIE Do something! ROSS What are we supposed to do? RANDORN We can't just leave him, he might still be alive! CHRIS Death is a preferable alternative to communism. Montse opens the baton. MONTSE We'll have to break the glass to get to him. She strikes the glass with the baton. It merely cracks. MONTSE Your baton is terrible. ROSS It works better against people's spines, not glass. CHRIS I got it! He fires his revolver into the window. The glass shatters. ROSS My ears... ARTUR So loud... Montse leaps out. With the help of the other partygoers, they lift Ivan into the cabin. ROSS That's... not good. MONTSE Bullet hole, point blank. Probably shot by a small-caliber handgun, once in the head, nothing more. Looks like a few broken bones, the killer probably threw him over the railing. RANDORN I need a drink. ARI So do I. KOTERA Are you kidding me? Someone got shot! We have to find out who did it! ROSS Let's go back upstairs... The lift begins to ascend. Back upstairs, Ross slides back into the bar. ROSS Who wants what? RANDORN Whiskey. ARI Something strong. Ross pours the whiskey for Randorn and some vodka for Ari. Randorn takes a sip. Ari downs the whole thing. ARI What is this, tap water? Ross pours three more drinks worth of vodka. Ari smacks then all back with no problem. ROSS Okay, just take the whole bottle. Try not to kill yourself. The doorbell rings. ROSS I thought we were all-- oh, I know who this is! Alexander Mercer walks in. ALEXANDER Greetings from-- ALASTAIR (intoxicated) SHUT THE HELL UP! ALEXANDER I thought you would all be more polite... ARI (also now intoxicated) YOU TELL EM ALASTAIR! ROSS I am truly sorry for them. Here's your gift. Alexander opens the box. It's a tie. ALEXANDER Why would I need a tie when I can change my form at will? ROSS I don't know. The doorbell rings again. ROSS Did I mark the time wrong or something? He opens the door. BAILEY Am I at the right house? ROSS I think so. Bailey Washington, that is correct? BAILEY Yes. ROSS Want something to drink? BAILEY You have tea? ROSS Black tea with a pinch of lemon, coming right up. ARTUR I'll take some. RANDORN Me too. SERENA Why not? Ross slides the cups across the counter. ROSS I have something for you. He returns with a present. Bailey opens it. It's a SM-9A handgun. BAILEY A gun. I've never seen one before. ROSS This was the first ever production SM-9A. It's a piece of our history. BAILEY Well, that's neat! KOTERA SOMEONE GOT MURDERED, ARE WE ALL FORGETTING THAT? The group turns to stare at the body of Ivan on the floor. ROSS Oh right. Almost forgot. The scene cuts to the roof. A gloved hand works the bolt on a rifle. The scene cuts back to inside. The power goes out. Glass shatters as a gunshot is heard. ROSS Oh my GOD SOMEONE'S SHOOTING AT US! Ross dives behind the bar once more. A suppressed gunshot is heard. The lights flicker on. Randorn and Kotera lie dead on the floor. ROSS Oh... Bailey draws the pistol. BAILEY Whoever has weapons, show them! Chris takes out his revolver. BAILEY Your gun was fired recently! CHRIS I fired it earlier! In the lift! ROSS He's right. BAILEY Then who's shooting all of us? ROSS They must be in the house somewhere! MONTSE Wait, it's-- The lights flicker, then shut off. MONTSE Ah! Stay back! Montse swings the baton. A golden knife appears. FEODORA What is going on! A suppressed gunshot is heard. The lights turn on. The remaining partygoers examine the rooms. Sylvia and Julienne are lying on the floor. Montse lies on the ground, having been stabbed in the back with a knife. Chris lies dead on the floor from a suppressed pistol shot. ALEXANDER Ooh, this is getting INTENSE! Ross picks up Chris's gun. ROSS It's a shame. SERENA Real shame. ARTUR Almost too real. BAILEY So Ari stabbed Montse! ROSS (looking in the dining room) Except Ari is dead too. Alexander examines Ari's body. FEODORA Can you tell us how she died? Was she shot? ALEXANDER No. Alcohol poisoning. ROSS But how did the twins die? Were they shot? FEODORA No. Lung cancer. ROSS I know who did it. MARIE You do? ROSS Yes. I do. Let me explain. He pauses. ROSS And it was YOU! He points to Marie. MARIE Ross, are you drunk? ROSS I am perfectly sober. Anyway, you murdered Ivan because of something you wanted to keep behind closed doors. HIS AFFAIR WITH ALASTAIR! And you killed Kotera, because he was in on the affair as well! You stabbed Montse because she was one of the only ones who had military combat training, thereby reducing the number of people that could potentially reveal you! Of course, that was after killing Ari by replacing the vodka in the bar with the top secret 101% pure ethanol. You leaned over the bar trying to attack me, when you were actually making the switch. From there you were able to get her knife, and stab Montse. It's true! And you gave Sylvia and Julienne bits of asbestos insulation coated in powdered sugar and told them it was "candy"! MARIE That's a lie! SERENA Wait, then who killed Randorn? It couldn't have been her! ROSS The only person who hasn't been here this whole time. Alastair. BAILEY Why would Alastair want to kill Randorn? I mean, he didn't exactly like furries, Alastair. But murder? ROSS Who said he didn't like furries? The truth is, he had an affair with Randorn BEFORE having one with Kotera and Ivan! But Randorn cheated on him with Montse! FEODORA That makes no sense. ROSS How do you explain these photographs then? He holds up several "revealing" pictures. ALEXANDER What photographs-- OH MY GOD MY EYES! BAILEY I cannot unsee what I just saw. SARATHRESS That is disturbing. FEODORA Their family tree must be messed UP. ROSS And he tried to cover it all up by killing the only man who would know. He knew that Montse, being an ex-spy, wouldn't snitch on him. FEODORA So where is Alastair now? Alastair falls from the skylight, after breaking the glass. ROSS Aww gee, I wonder where he is... BAILEY Alright. You two, against the wall. Marie dives toward Alastair, and puts the suppressed pistol to his head. ALASTAIR Wha... He falls asleep. MARIE I won't let you take me alive! Ross holds out the revolver. ROSS Nobody wants to hurt you. All we have to do is dump the bodies into the valley, leave quietly and pretend this never happened. We can leave here today with no more dead bodies. Ross drops the revolver. Bailey draws and drops her pistol. MARIE I suppose we can do that. Uplifting music begins to play. She lets Alastair go. He falls face first onto the floor. The music suddenly stops. Serena, Artur, Ross, and Bailey all draw hidden guns at the same time. The mods rush in, pointing their guns at the two. MOD 1 Nobody move or you're getting DOS'd! MOD 2 Good work, ladies and gentlemen. We can finally put these two away off the forums for at least a couple hours. SERENA That was awesome! The remaining leaders share high fives. ROSS I really need to beef up security around here. BAILEY YOU THINK? Kotera stands upright. ROSS I thought you were dead! KOTERA No, just sleeping. SERENA YOU GOT SHOT! KOTERA No, I just spilled my strawberry jam on my shirt. ROSS Oh, for FU-- The credits roll. THE END This took me several hours to do. Plz upvote thx [/spoiler]
