PLOT DROP!
the day marking the month since missy davis’ disappearance has come and gone. residents of hawkins, indiana, have yet to find consolation. eight special young adults find themselves at the center of it all, questions running rampant as friendships begin to blossom. but alas, on the warm summer night of july fourteenth, chief of police phil callahan recieves a phone call. it appears a fisherman spotted what may have been women’s clothing washed up on the edge of lake tippecanoe. upon arriving at the scene, callahan orders his officers to collect the article of clothing, only to find that it is shockingly similar to the floral dress missy was seen wearing on the night she disappeared. a first lead, it appears, into what is now being investigated as possible murder. at the center of it all? eight possible suspects, all of whom for reasons unbeknownst to the police, may have had a motive for murder. it’s not the kind of consolation that the town anticipates and it seems things are only taking a turn for worst. because on the morning of july 15th, phil callahan will come to realize that a second prominent member of hawkins is also missing: town paster joseph bell.
BASIC POINTS!
right now, anyone connected to missy davis is being considered a person of interest. if your muse had a positive relationship with missy, it is more likely that you’ll be able to write off your character as cleared from any motive. however, don’t do this so quickly. this is an excellent chance for drama between muses.
if your muse had a negative relationship to missy, this is the perfect way to draw out secrets that are soon to be exposed either between the eight in question or to the entire town. this is your choice. again, be cautious. keeping a secret might make your muse appear extremely guilty and that makes for excellent threads.
joseph bell is another npc, but this second disappearance is the perfect way to kickstart curiosity in your muse.
