Elara enters the room, spies Laian, and begins to clap

"A most masterful show, my friend. I was very impressed with the rolo part at the end... quite funny! I cannot wait to see the show in Vegas."

Looks around at all the investigators

"I do hope this case will be wrapped up in time for us to catch the flight."

Elara : *Enters* Indeed...twas an interesting show. My apologies for being absent for the majority however...

I do request to meet all personal in my "office" in an hour, hour and a half please.

Someone70 :

I knew you would accept. Ok, it's settled. We're going to try to go to Las Vegas tonight, if the case eventually ends. If it's ok, we will have time for some practice before the great show. According to what Redrunelord said last time, it will be a 45 minutes performance but, if the audience likes the performance, the owner agrees for some extra time. One more thing: this show is really important, we have to do our best and... you will suffer almost all the possible magic tortures

*Laian talks to Elara and Redrunelord*

Thanks Elara. I hope it will not too late to go to Las Vegas tonight. And it's ok, Redrunelord. Thanks for everything by the way.

*Redunelord is sitting is his cozy chair in red and green robings*

The case is now closed formally...after receiving a few reports we have tracked down the thief and received the following confession...from none other than epicpokenerd!.

*Plays a tape recording*

"People of Vizzed, please listen. It was me who stole the presents in the manor that night, and I am sorry for causing so much trouble for everyone. I know that it is still inexcusable, but the only reason I ever considered doing it was because I needed to help my sister and get her out of the hospital, so that we could spend Christmas as a family at home. I am sorry for causing this trouble, but please try to understand."

Had it been any other time of year or for any other reason, I would be inclined to let epicpokenerd! go. However he will not be punished but for a probation when he returns...returns from Las Vegas.

Through contacting my friend at the Planet Hollywood, I have arranged for all staff and investigators for a 2 day pass in Las Vegas, on the house. 

As well, I formally loan epicpokenerd! sufficient funding to cover his sister's fees so she can properly enjoy Christmas knowing she wouldn't have to be cooped too much longer. As well, through a loan from the Planet Hollywood, everyone will be able to eb sent the Vizzed after all.

I thank you all for being excellent guests and staff members, and I shall talk to you again some time soon.

~~~~The End~~~~ 

*Takes off Santa hat* I have to say, this was a fun event to host, and immensely fun seeing everything play out as it has. This event would never have been possible if not for my fellow staff for being so gracious as to help plan and play characters of their own creation...and of course the community here at Vizzed. For that, I thank you all.

Now...we had a few people send in correct answers citing epicpokenerd! as the thief and his motives...however, I can declare a vague "winner" in the sense that a single user not only answered correctly but gave sufficient evidence to confirm epicpokenerd! as thief...thus it is my pleasure to announce Arctic Wolf (SS82) being the technical winner. Honorable mentions goes out to Kackarot and thing1 for sending the correct answer before Arctic Wolf BUT neither of them technically "won" as both of them failed to provide sufficient evidence for the clues provided and evidence to eliminate the others users.

I use the term winners there very vaguely as every single user who partook was in a sense one. I would like to take the time now to formally wish everyone a Merry Christmas or happy holidays, and I hope that you all enjoyed what we prepared for you here. Consider this our Christmas gift to you, the user, for making this an awesome website. So once again...


Merry Christmas!!!!!

Just to confirm, the above is true :V

Congrats everyone, and don't forget to tune into my Christmas Day game, as I'll be leading us to victory!

"Such a shame... if he had only asked, we would have helped him. At least he has learned his lesson."

Happy Holidays, everyone. I hope you enjoyed out little RP! Thanks again to everyone that participated.

*spooken as though it was the conculsion of an old detective back story*

And so the thief was none-other than epicpokenerd!, a name I didn't want to hear when announcing who stole the presents, those pretty Christmas presents. Although I suspected him when the last clue was revealed, I was almost ashamed to think such a thing when he mentioned his sisters health. If he had let me known about it sooner, then I could have worked something out as a Christmas present. It might take some time to forgive what he did, but honestly, who could blame him? You tell me.

*no-one says anything*

....I thought so. *turns from the window* And that's how it happened. That was the Mystery of the Thievery...

*comes out of character* I hope you enjoyed this little event we put up. I would like to thank myself for brilliance all-round Thanks for taking part, everyone.

Redrunelord : I must thank you for this entertaining event that you came up with. It was your idea after all. Maybe we can do this again sometime.

Arctic Wolf (SS82) : Congrats, I hope you enjoyed it. And kudos for the runner-ups as well. I'll make my leave now. Oh, I almost forgot. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a very Happy New Year to you all.

*out of character*

What I said actually was half true. My 5-year old sister PJ does have diabetes, and we had to use our Christmas money to pay the hospital bill. That's what I got the idea from for my motive. Fortunately, a bunch of friends gave us some Christmas money, so it all worked out. Merry Christmas to all here on Vizzed!

And so the mystery of the missing Vizzed presents was solved. Thanks to all the users that played along and made the game fun for all!

And Merry Christmas to everyone at Vizzed. Out of all this, I know there are some great RP'ers on the site, which reassures me a bit. X3

So it was epicpokenerd... Listening to his heart, however he didn't choose the best choice... Why didn't he tell us about that before? We could have helped him, it's the least we could do. I hope he will come back soon. Well, before leaving the manor and going to Las Vegas, I have a few things to tell you. 

Redrunelord :  
I don't know why I reacted like that, you gave me the hospitality and all I found to thank you was my loathing, my wrath. In fact, I was wrong. I was a fool. I feel ashamed of my behavior against you whereas you were like a father for me, a father who understands his son. Then again, I'm sorry and thank you for everything. I hope you will be a great musician.

legacyme3 :
About last time, I was so rude. Even if I don't like sports, it's your passion. You didn't criticize my passion for magic. However, I did it. I don't feel proud of me so I apologize for that and I hope the Vizzed Team will win the match. I will not be here to watch and enjoy this entertainment, I have my magic show but I will cross the fingers.

Darkpower508 :
Without your help, your support, no magic show in the manor. I had fun and Someone was happy too. I can't tell you how I managed to make your "rolo" reappear from my mouth, I don't have any ideas and even if I knew it, real magicians don't have to break the code. What you said last time, when we talked about that, my intention was to try to bring you back your "rolo" but it didn't matter for you. I understood that having some friends worth more than a symbolic stuff. Oh well, now we are still friend and you have your "rolo". What else could it be better?

Elara :
Good luck for your book. I hope you will be a famous writer. Once your book is released, I will buy it. I didn't ask you about the story but you don't have to tell me now. A surprise is better than a revelation in my opinion. Just tell me when your book is released. With my magic shows, I will be a bit lost in time.

Someone70 :
Will you believe me if I said angels do exist on earth? Your kindness, your good mood... I have to tell you that your presence here in this manor was necessary, especially for me. You're like a sister for me, I never had a chance to have a sister, I'm a lonely child. I had fun with the magic show... and it's not over I believe. I think you will follow me wherever I will go. So I can tell you that you are an angel on earth. Well, I let you some time to say goodbye to the others if you want, meet me in the hallway once you finished

Well, it's not a farewell, because I know we will meet again in the future and we will have lot of things to say. Goodbye and Merry Christmas my friends.

*Laian leaves the office*

*Out of character*

Well, now it's Laian the Walkthrough Maker who talks to you, Vizzed Members. I practice magic tricks in real life in case you want to know but I still haven't gone to Las Vegas for a magic show ha ha. My favorite trick is the floating rose that I love performing and the flying magic trick like David Copperfield performed. Anyway, sorry I'm rambling but I hope you enjoyed this Christmas event, don't forget the two contests of this month if you are interested in this. Hurry up, one week before the end, there are good prizes to win.
So I thank all the people who participated in this event, congratulations to the winners and I meet you next time for more events like this one and more walkthroughs yeaaaaaaahhh

I think that we all used, to an extent, passions from our own real life or took aspects from our lives in general. I work as a writer and musician and I tried to incorporate at least one...that makes roleplaying a lot easier, when an element of yourself is in the characters you craft the way i see it.

I've heard a saying that I have always felt best represented gaming.

"Acting is like a diamond, each facet a different part of our unique personalities. Some people draw on one, others many."

Beautiful isn't it?

G'bye everyone! See you in Vegas!

*walks over to Laian in the hallway*

Hmm? Did you say you needed me?

Someone70 : Only if you want for the other performances. Going to Las Vegas for the Christmas magic show is a good thing but perhaps a world tour will be planned. Who knows? France, Japan, Russia, Brazil... it's up to you, Someone, I will not force you to accompagn me everywhere. It's kind to help me for the Christmas show

laian : Wait? Everywhere? Around the whole world?

But... are you sure you want to do that? And, well, I'm not sure I could leave Reddy all alone in his mansion...

I would have to think about it, Lai-chan. But thanks for the offer!

(After all this is over, move to the Treasure Can? )

This has run it's course. I'm closing it and moving it to the treasure can.
