Thanks for the ping! Pinging myself so I remember.

Ill participate! thanks for the ping >w<

my motive is probably going to be really ridiculous and im not that great with writing but here goes,

Pekaboo, being the most popular band member out of all, had a large fan (girl) group. The group of girls were immature and fought over who's love for him was greater. They eventually came to a conclusion that whoever gets a hold of his bow tie loved him the most. Later that day, the group of girls went to the bar to wait for Pekaboo to come out. Right as he was walking out, these crazy fangirls tackled him and fought over his bowtie. Pekaboo helplessly choked as the girls continued to yank at his bow tie. After a while of struggling, the bowtie finally came off, but it was too late for poor Pekaboo. The girls were so shocked at what they have done and quickly rushed to hide his body.

some fan group they are LOL XD;;

Beloved band member murdered!

Our top story is the murder of a favored local artist, Peekaboo of Sheer Noir. The murder happened sometime yesterday afternoon in the band’s dressing room in Keith’s bar. There is much speculation as to why. I believe I have figured it out. I did some digging into Peekaboo’s past. Peekaboo is not who everyone thought he was. Peekaboo only came to live in Centropolis five years ago at the age of 17. With no family, he rented out a small one-bedroom apartment over the bar where he later met the rest of his band. With no family to speak of Peekaboo became very close to his band members. He was the only son to the mobster Jimmy Peek from Shadowglen. In Shadowglen there is a report of Peekaboo getting into an almost fatal car chase, ending in the death of his girlfriend and rival mob boss’s daughter. Peekaboo’s sister has disclosed to us that Peekaboo met his girlfriend Arianna when they were 15 at the corner store. Arianna was the light of his life, he changed from being just another con man on the street to a respectable worker. He took on a part time job at the corner store, brought his grades up in school. Peekaboo and Arianna had started saving in order to build a life together says another source. Hiding it from their families as they planned to run away, for neither family would approve of their love. Mrs. Peek says, “If only I had known. I would have helped them in any way that I could have.” Later in my telephone interview, she also stated. “I wish we had had paid more attention maybe then Arianna’s death would have been avoided.” Mr. Peek refused an interview about the tragic loss of his only son. A close friend of Arianna’s came forward and said the car chase was not Peekaboo’s fault. The source reveals that Arianna’s father planned to send her back to Japan to marry an old family friend. Arianna outright refused, say sources. Peekaboo’s boss said Arianna came into the back room of the store crying. His boss gave Peekaboo his car keys and some money when he could not talk them out of running away. He sent them off and told Peekaboo to keep in touch. Half an hour after they left the shop they had flipped the car over the cliff and down into the forest. Arianna died a few hours later on the surgical table to repair her internal damaged. Peekaboo would make a full physical recovery in the following weeks in Centropolis General. We do not have all the facts as this is an open investigation, but in this reporters opinion this was a revenge killing. As they say in the old country, an eye for an eye. We will keep you updated as the case’s details become clearer.

Oh no, that is so sad.

yeeeeeh outer space! I'm happy because someone recognizes it :D

aww sorry ._.; My writter was like BAM sadness xD i wrote way more in depth but i figured a news article would be different ?

Haha probably! Still a sad story sniffles

Sorry made you sad but it did its job as a convincing story right?

Yep, sure did!

I'm super overwhelmed with events this week so I don't think I can participate, but I just had to swing by and say I love this band concept. I also love the activity concept. So creative, you guys. <3

I totally get the appeal of RP and OCs now because of this game lol. :)

Congrats on making it to the finals and good luck in Battle of the Bands!

Congrats on making it to the finals!

Thanks so much, all of you - ❤️

I think I have to go to work to "settle" this first XD hahah See you later, with a new task for the plot! ;D

A little late to the event, but I wanted to join in with a motive! (also, congrats on getting in the finals /o/)

The truth is: Peekaboo's popularity was the true cause of his murder. While Sheer Noir had successfully played their music as a group in "Keith's" bar, they wanted to move onto bigger and better venues. Their best chance for a breakout was in the upcoming music festival. Unfortunately, the bands in the music festival could only have up to 6 members, meaning that one of Sheer Noir was going to be left out. Obviously no one wanted to drop, since this was their best chance for success. 6 of the members, barring Peekaboo, decided to stage his murder in order to qualify for the competition. Afterall, he took away from their cohesive group image because he stood out too much and was too popular on his own: with him in the group it was less Sheer Noir, and more Peekaboo and some other people. The members of Sheer Noir planned to use the publicity gained from the murder to serve as advertising for them, and they could enter without having to leave one member "behind".

A little late, but I’d love to join in if I may! (Also, congratulations you guys for making it to the finals. :))

The motive: It’s a cover up!

“Something doesn’t seem right,” one of the amateur investigators mutters. “I mean, don’t modern freezers come with safety mechanisms so you won’t accidentally lock yourself in?”

“Hey, look at this!” someone else yells. Everyone gathers around the freezer door for a closer look and see that a gold pin has been jammed into the locking mechanism.

“Someone’s tampered with the lock!”

“Looks like someone tried real hard to make this look like an accident, but why?”

Two months ago… Unknown to anyone else, Pekaboo, beloved band member of Sheer Noir, bore witness to a crime some two months ago. Returning after a late night out, Pekaboo took the wrong turn and caught sight of two figures hoisting a wrapped body into a dumpster. A cold ripple of fear shivered down his spine as he ducked down behind a trash can. As one of the men stepped into the sickly yellow light of an overhead lamp, Pekaboo caught sight of a distinctive scar carved down the man’s left cheek. Frozen in fear and hardly daring to breathe, he flinched to hear the roar of the dumpster lid slamming closed, but uttered a sigh of relief when the men’s retreating footsteps echoed in the opposite direction. He waited until they had vanished altogether to make a run for it, assured he hadn’t been seen. Sadly, Pekaboo had no idea how wrong he was…

Earlier this evening… As he was returning to “Keith’s” bar to meet up with his bandmates, Pekaboo was at ease. The night air was warm, slightly balmy, perfect for a summer celebration. It was one of those nights where nothing can go wrong, and invariably everything does. He passed by an alley and felt a familiar shiver but disregarded it as a sudden attack of nerves and bad memories. In his wake, a shady figure stepped from the recess of shadows. This man had waited hours, patiently watching for Pekaboo’s inevitable arrival. On his boss’s orders, he was to kill the witness. It didn’t take long for Pekaboo to realize he was being followed. Though he did his best to remain calm, he couldn’t ignore the growing sense of dread, and reflexively he began to walk faster. The footsteps echoing his own quickened. A cold sweat broke out down his back, extinguishing the cheer of the warm night air and echoing the later chill of his blood. Within minutes, having broken into a mad dash, he came full-tilt around a corner and came face-to-face with the door to “Keith’s” bar. Breathing in gulps of humid air, Pekaboo let his panic subside a little before he had the courage to look behind him. Not a soul to be seen. He looked left, then looked right. Not even a stray flyer tossed by the wind. “Nerves,” he said to himself with a half-hearted laugh, but as he stepped into the building, a figure melted out of the shadows. Pekaboo had just opened the door to their room to see his bandmates hadn’t returned, when a strong arm wrapped around his neck. With a gurgle, he was dragged into the room by his pursuer, where a frantic struggle began. Pekaboo flailed his arms and kicked at his attacker, seeming to gain the upper hand for a moment and finally break free. But just as he spun around to confront his attacker, the man grabbed a heavy statuette off a nearby table and walloped him over the head with it. Pekaboo fell to the floor like a sack of hammers. The killer dragged him to the freezer and used his tie pin to jam the lock, then took some extra time to mess up the room to make it look like a break-in. When he was finished, he took out his phone, running his finger along the distinctive scar carved down his left cheek as he said, “Yeah, boss, he’s taken care of.”

Storyline Day Three "That's a Captured Pixie ", someone says. "Maybe the killer lost it? May I have a closer look at it please?" The girl who found the Pixie hands it over to the guy that just asked for it. He turns it around several times and suddenly shouts: "get me a magnifying glass quick! There is something written on the bottom of the flask, but it's too tiny to read!" Six fans jump up and run across the room to search for a magnifying glass. You stay in the middle of the room together with the guy and the flask in his hand. You try to decipher the letters, but they are too damn small. The magnifying glass arrives along with a breathless girl. "Here you go!" she gasps. A crackling tension lies in the air.

are the words written on the bottom of the flask. Why would anyone go there, is the first thought that comes to your mind. The Cash Shop Cafe, in other words CSC, is the name of a club that has it's residence in Shadowglen. A cold shiver runs down your spine. There are alot of rumours about this cafe and they are either mysterious or dangerous. It's all about large amounts of money in drugs and money-laundering and other criminal activities. You are now sure, that your greatest idol "Sheer Noir" doesn't have anything in common with this Captured Pixie. How could they have a link to the CSC? "Let's go to Shadowglen. Who wants to come with me?" Your words are breaking the silence that settled down in the room.

You arrive at the Cash Shop Cafe together with three other fans. The Cafe lies near the forest in the shadow of the trees. You take all of your courage and walk towards the entrance. A few guests leave the club and you suddenly notice that you are dressed up totally wrong! You have to change your clothes, otherwise you might attract too much attention!
