📸 Investigation: Lana Murphy


Lana was working the night of the murder—just like every other night.
She says it was a normal shift: drinks, flirting, drama.
But there’s something about the way she talks… like she’s filtering every word.
She’s not afraid of much—but this time, she looks nervous.
Like she knows too much.

🗣️ Interrogation Snippet:
“Javier was on his usual nonsense,” Lana says, stacking glasses. “Flashing that fake charm. Asking questions he had no business asking.”

She leans closer. “He was digging. About Priya. About Elias. Even about Theo. Said something about ‘figuring it out.’ I told him to shut up and enjoy his overpriced whiskey.”

Her jaw tightens. “But he didn’t shut up. He went to the upper deck after midnight. That’s the last time I saw him.”

📚Tasks:
1. Read a book with a character who knows everyone’s business
2. Read a book with late-night scenes or secrets revealed after dark
3. Read a book where a character might be lying by omission

Dungeons & Dragons Challenge



Sign-ups are open until February 28th.
The challenge is open-ended.

The Challenge

1. Comment here to sign up, and I will create a personal challenge thread for you.

2. You will create your adventurer step by step: first by reading for a race/class, then a weapon, then a companion. Each of these will come with a one-time-use advantage to help you later in the challenge.

3. After your character is ready, you will begin the journey. At each stage, you will face a short story and a choice of tasks. The book you choose to read will determine the path your story takes.

4. To move forward, you must read for at least one of the tasks presented. You can only choose one task per branch — but you may use your earned advantages to skip or bend a rule if you wish.

5. Please make a completion post in your thread using this template:
