Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

[unleashed]

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

“Well, if we’re going concentrate on those who weren’t at the dinner for the moment, I believe that would leave us with Lord Atreus, Lady Aerope, Orin, Amber, Ammon's uncle Thyestes who wasn't at the reception, Thyestes’ Larakese girlfriend, plus any servants we haven’t spoken to. Now there’s an outsider no one has taken into account... perhaps the Larakese have something to gain by Ammon’s death, though I have no idea what it might be,” Tiberius postulates, after rattling off the remaining people of importance.

"Should we start with one of them then? Perhaps Orin? I am not sure what he will have to add, but perhaps we can start elminating suspects if nothing else." replies Mythweaver.

“Yes, we might as well start interviewing the others, and Orin seems as good a choice as any to start with, considering apart from the servants, all those that remain are Ammon’s family. Well except the Larakese girlfriend of his uncle of course, though we have no idea how close Ammon and his uncle were... so perhaps Orin can enlighten us about that too, before we get to interviewing them,” Tiberius offers, as they head off to look for Orin.

*Tiberius looks around a bit and eventually finds Orin lounging around at a table for two by himself, drinking a beer with another full glass set up on the far side where nobody is sitting.*

Guessing that seat is in honour of Ammon, Tiberius moves over to the table and remains standing as he asks, “So how are you holding up Orin?”

*Orin smirks.*

"I'm fine. A real man doesn't shed tears over spilled milk. Of course, Ammon was always such a pussy that this was sure to happen to him some day. I just hope he didn't let all his girly emotions get the best of him and kill himself. If this was a suicide, then we won't be able to hunt down the bastard who did it and make them suffer."

“Good, you’ll be fine to answer a few questions then,” Tiberius says, his military manner taking over. “So, do you know of anyone that might have threatened your family or Ammon himself? Was there anyone you know of that wasn’t in favour of the wedding? When did you last see Ammon, as we’re trying to get an idea of his movements today?”

"Like lions or wolves, the hunters always look to strike the weakest of the herd. Any of our rivals could have sent out a hunt for Ammon. It is my duty to find and destroy whoever did it. I must take over for Ammon and show what a true man would do as heir to the Atreides line! And that starts with making sure we don't let this stop the wedding. The political ties are crucial for us, and besides, Lynestra's a real hottie. She'd look good massaging my feet and doing my laundry."

"Ammon? Last night at dinner, for sure. I remember telling him he need to be a man and ravish her on the wedding night or his marriage would soon turn sour."

“I see... well that doesn’t really help to narrow anything down, but it seems that’s what we have to work with. Hmm, how did you spend your time, between the reception and the bachelor party, Orin?”

Mythweaver stands slightly back from Tiberius. With Orin's open agressive nature, he feels that Tiberius might be the better one to question Orin, if only because the man might be more open with the Praetor.
