Sheer Noir presents: Case Pekaboo
Replies
oh im excited! Im gonna work on this intead of my own story! flees
The motive for the crime was a secret ritual from ancient times that requires freshly plucked eyeballs.
Pekaboo's stare was entrancing under the stage lights. He caught the eye of a young girl named Roxanne as he was crooning a duet with his twin Alenwen one night. Roxanne was barely 21 and her fresh-faced beauty caught Pekaboo off guard in their seedy surroundings. She played it quiet and shy until Pekaboo was falling in love with her from afar. He became more determined to woo her every time he saw her pale face and white blonde hair glowing in the audience.
Finally, he thought he had Roxanne convinced to meet him for a drink the evening after Luminaire. She insisted on bringing a chaperone, as was only proper. This made Pekaboo even more sure of her innocence and he was enchanted by her. It's a shame, because Pekaboo barely got a glimpse of his new love in her shimmering purple dress when he opened the room door on his final night alive. He was struck by a tall figure. The band's common room was ransacked, but nothing was taken and the mess was really made to cover-up the death rite that Roxanne and the tall figure carried out.
Pekaboo's once mesmerizing eyes were ceremoniously dropped into a carved crystal vessel filled with a cloudy liquid. His body was cleanly cut into 20 pieces; 7 of them were marked with a black spot and 13 with purple. Roxanne and the tall man had donned black and purple robes once they entered Sheer Noir's room and her platinum wig was now nestled safely inside a guitar case.
Someone had knocked a couple hours into the killing, but Roxanne drove whoever it was away with a few well-timed moans and gasps.
Pekaboo's blood was drained into the bathtub in the adjoining bathroom and released into the Centropolis sewers. Roxanne put up her hood to hide her face and striking red locks. The tall figure opened the now empty guitar case which they had used to carry in the robes, knives, rite artifacts, and a plastic tarp. They placed the wig, the vial with Pekaboo's eyes, and all the sacred objects in the case's false bottom. Pekaboo's body parts, the knives, and the plastic were placed securely inside the case itself. His eyeless head and mobile were left in a freezer on top of a fridge full of champagne chilling for Sheer Noir's New Year's Eve show. The large dressing room looked just like the scene of a robbery, except the thing that was stolen was Pekaboo's eyes.
They left more than an hour before dawn, when not a soul was awake.
Pekaboo had gotten into a drunken fight with an icecream trunk who he thought was hitting on his girlfriend. During the fight, he slipped on a piece of tofu and landed in a puddle of onions that had been dumped by a green grocer because they had gone mouldy. While he was swimming in the puddle of onions (there were a LOT of onions), the icecream truck backed out of the driveway and ran him over. The truck driver freaked out and put his body in a nearby freezer.

The sad truth
Peekaboo was known for his pranks and would often lie in wait in unexpected places to jump out and terrify unsuspecting passersby. The gang was well used to these pranks and so catching them unawares had become next to impossible. Peekaboo loved a challenge and made it his mission of the week to plan out a doozie...
That night at dinner, he feigned stomach issues and left far in advance of the others. He made sure to stop and talk to the waiter on his way out to ensure their service took... adequate time, tipping the man for his troubles. He headed back to Keith's Bar to get prepared for his assault on the others.
Peekaboo grabbed a hoodie and jumped into the freezer. He just knew this was going to be the mother of all scares! He got his phone out to text his bandmates to let them know that he was really violently ill at this point and would be running to the store for medicine. Later he messaged them again that he would be at the urgent care as he felt he must have a stomach virus. As time went on he became bored and decided to start up his favorite movie, The Hobbit, thank goodness for smartphones! And so he waited...
Unfortunately for Peekaboo, he was definitely not the only member of the group with special quirks. Zoila had a habit of taking whatever he felt like taking, from anyone at any time. They loved him anyway, but it was of course inconvenient and at times irritating. He stuck to the motto "what's mine is mine and what's your's is mine too." Mostly he borrowed hair product, favorite pillows, snacks... nothing incredibly important. However, when it came to the freezer...
Pyataboo's thing was ice cream. She didn't pig out on it, but she did consider herself a connoisseur of sorts and liked to try a new flavor every week. She would make special trips to trendy ice cream parlors around the city in search of new and unique options. And when she would find her prize, she would bring it home and stash it. She had to, that Zoila! HE could not see a pint without eating the entire thing! She tried hiding it in veggie bags, hashbrown boxes, down inside the ice maker... but that guy was relentless! And her weekly treat had become a thing of the past as, unless she immediately tried the frozen confection, he would find it and devour it before she even had the chance to admire the packaging! She'd fix his wagon. She had found a special security tech shop while roaming the city for a new parlor and discovered the most interesting freezer lock.... If he ever snuck in there for her treasure again...
Back at the restaurant, the waiter definitely worked for his advance tip! Such integrity, he could have just taken the tip and ignored the instruction. But then, he really didn't mind ignoring a table on such a busy night. So he rushed past them over and over making sure to pretend not to hear any requests or calls to him at least four times before answering on the fifth. By the end of the night when all the group wanted was their check, Cinderella was so angry and fed up with the lack of service, she began busing the table herself, (OOC: Too expected? lol) Alenwen ended up having to go to the manager to get the check delivered, (The waiter was able to explain himself out of trouble after the group had left.) and Isabel had managed 10 different phone numbers from passing ladies while waiting! When they finally escaped the restaurant there was one final hitch...
Arbitrary came by her name honestly. She was definitely the most spontaneous member of the group and many a night had been made through her random desires to chase a whim. This night was no different, and by the time they made it home in the wee hours of the morning they were sure Peekaboo would be back from the urgent care. They hadn't heard from him in a long while and figured his phone was still off from being at hospital, out of juice from the long day, or he was sound asleep from being ill. So it was a shock and relief to them to hear the ringing from upstairs...
He had fallen asleep. He looked so peaceful. Once the ringing from their call subsided, the phone went back to the movie app that had automatically gone on to play the Lord of the Rings trilogy after the Hobbit had ended hours before. And the band stared in stunned silence at the horror before them.
So you see, Peekaboo froze to death, after falling asleep unknowingly locked in the freezer.
Wow so many ideas I'm thrilled. Can not stop this all to read. Great!
Peekaboo was setting up early for his band, and since it was very hot he asked permission to store the popsicles he had bought for everyone in the freezer. Somehow the ancient door closed and jammed. He knew the band was due back soon but before he called one of them on the phone, he thought he would try to get out on his own. He was reaching for something on a top shelf to pry the door open with when it fell on his head and knocked him out. He died of hypothermia. If only the band had not been late!
check this out!
3000 years ago: a young Grthonian named Yathuur swears vengeance as he sees his father plowed down by a Subetan space shuttle while they were space swimming together. Fifteen years ago: Yathuur makes his way to the planet Subeta on his one-rider spacecraft. He seeks knowledge of how best to destroy the Subetan races as so he blends in with the population of Centropolis under the alias Peekaboo and integrates into a group there. Present day: After ten years of searching, the AAA (Alien Assassination Association) has finally located the whereabouts of the Grthonian that has infiltrated Subeta. They send their assassin to eliminate the alien threat immediately. Peekaboo is in the band’s room playing his flute, which is actually his spacecraft key is disguise. Suddenly a masked figure barges into the room. As the assassin pulls his sword out of its sheath, with lightening reflexes Yathuur attacks. They crash around the room, fighting for a short period of time but it is obvious that the assassin is no match for Yathuur, who had been trained in the arts of chung-t’ou-fng-doh. As Yathuur stands over the assassin with the sword pointed at the assassin’s throat, Yathuur says “Who are you?†The assassin laughs quietly and says: “Yathuur. I…Am…Your…Father†Yathuur stumbles back in surprise. In that moment of weakness, his father attacks with a vicious blow to the head, knocking Yathuur out cold. He walks over to where the flute fell, and picks it up and says:,†I have been waiting for this thousands of years. Now I can finally leave this wretched planet and return to Grthonia.†He knows his son will try to follow him when he awakens, so he locks him in the freezer and leaves before anybody gets there.

Storyline Day Two In deep sorrow, "Sheer Noir" decided to cancel all of their concerts until the circumstances of Pekaboos dead would be solved. One hour later, they announced their decision to the public.
Their fans were shocked and couldn't believe the rumours that spread like a wildfire. Pekaboo, the best looking guy of the band passed away? Girl dreams broke. Hopes were shattered into pieces. And how could their favourite band of all time stop playing concerts?
Soon, the whole internet was full of discussions over "Case Pekaboo". Fans started petitions to get "Sheer Noir" back on the stage, without having success. Others were interested in helping the band to gather more facts about the whole situation - and YOU were one of them. ☺
You are now part of a small group of people that meets in "Keith's" bar to plan their further steps. First of all, you look closer at the crime scene. The freezer is located on the right side of a small cooking-corner in "Sheer Noir's" private room. The whole room is still a mess. While looking around you are somehow afraid that other fans could steal personal belongings of the band to sell them for astronomical amounts. 😱 You put this idea aside, walk over to the freezer and look into it. Nothing reminds of the crime, it is just a blank freezer.
Suddenly a girl screams from the other corner of the room! "I found something!" Everyone gathers in the middle of the room, staring at the little object in her hand. The dusky light makes it difficult to identify the item.
Task Day Two Which Subeta item is this?
- Please MAIL the answer to Cinderella
- Do NOT post it on the board, otherwise you ruin the quiz
- Deadline is also on Thursday, 24th July, 9am Subeta time
