Before I decide whether or not I'm going to prom, someone has to explain to me what "Clue-themed" means.

It means it's themed around a murder mystery board game where you have to collect and use the clues to find out who committed the murder.

It's murder themed?

Very tasteful! I know! I'm excited, though...

Maybe they'll cut out murder and just make it crime themed? But in the board game, you're solving for a murder.

Given everything that's happened this year, that seems like asking for trouble.

Why the aliases? Are we all murderers?

Potentially

And we're to be locked in a mansion overnight together. This is a very Byronic board game.

Twice as many illicit love affairs, but half as many physical maladies.

Quarantines work after all.

Ari! You have to go to prom. Don't you already have a dress?

No I ~~I'll have to transfigure someth~~ I have plenty of dresses I could wear, but I haven't made up my mind.

Oh. I thought I saw somewhere that you did. All the prom talk blends together.

At any rate, you should come. It will be a lot of fun.

There are so many dances at this school. It wears me out.

OMG Ari!!! You HAVE to come!!!

Well, if I haven't any choice.

Okay, GOOD.

It's going to be SO MUCH fun!! What name did you get???

"Miss Claret".

[...]

Oh.

What color is that??

Dark red. Like wine.

OH! I think you'd look really pretty in that color. It sounds very MATURE.

And what should I call you?

Lieutenant Pink!! Being accompanied by Mr. Charcoal!!

I hope Mr. Charcoal counts himself lucky to be accompanied by a lady in uniform. It's very modern.

Oh, I guess so!! I'm planning to wear a dress, though.

Now I wonder if anyone has to sacrifice their life so we have a real prom murder mystery. Realism's important.

One of the teachers, perhaps? Let's take votes.

Hmmm. I'd hope for Ms. Vector, to get out of her grading my final, but Mr. Elmasry looks pretty weak and might not fight back.

Mr. Elmasry does look the part.

So young, so sad, he has to go.

He'll be so sorely missed, if we don't all murder each other before sunrise.
