paradisaooc | Loss time is a go! Volunteers needed!

So, for those of you unfamiliar with Bones, the fourth season finale featured an AU episode, "The End in the Beginning". To quickly summarize, Booth and Brennan were the married proprietors of a famous D.C. nightclub, The Lab. A body is found one morning in one of the bathrooms, leading to a familiar murder mystery case the duo (with the help of just about everyone from the show ever) solve.

Kyra and I have been plotting for a few weeks now to use this episode as the basis for a loss for the Bones cast in Paradisa. We are eying the last week of April, the 25th through May 1st as the week in which to run this loss. To make matters more interesting, we will be running a self-contained murder mystery a la (but not exactly like) the episode. This is, btw, all mod approved.

SO PARADISA! What we need from you are volunteers to fill in the missing character slots! Brennan, Booth, Sweets, and Angela will be playing their respective roles from the episode. We will also be using The Zone as The Lab nightclub to provide a backdrop to all of this. But that still leaves room for twelve other characters:

Available
Cook: Cynical, dramatic, snarky.
Counselman: Corrupt counselman (or woman) who’s been trying to get Booth to pay him/her “protection” money.

Taken
Booth (Mister B): Ex military. Now the co-owner of The Lab. Married to Brennan. Fiercely protective of his family and friends.
Brennan (Bren): Booth's wife. Co-owner of The Lab. Logical, practical. Can seem distant, but very strongly connected with her friends and coworkers.
Lance Sweets: Bartender and wanna-be performer. He's "practically a psychologist".
Angela: Hostess. The girl who's out of everyone's league. Loved by everyone. Wants to be an interior decorator.
Anathema Device: Coat Check Girl. Amorous. Can seem ditzy. Smarter than she appears. Might be seeing the cook on the side.
Zeke: Brother. Cop. Womanizer. Rivalry with his older brother. Not afraid to dirty his hands. Most likely responsible for hiring the hit man.
Ray Stanz: Novelist. Frequent bar patron. Conspiracy theorist, genre savvy.
Terezi: Lawyer: Defending the nightclub. Snarky. Smartass.
Davesprite: Rapper. Aspiring performer who wants to play at the club, but hasn’t been allowed to because of criminal connections
Alec Hardison: Rambler. Definitely not tough, but clever.
Jet Black: Bouncer. Stoic type. Protective. Not a talker.
Nina Sawyers: Brennan’s Assistant. Nerdy, intelligent. Can be a bit childlike with her friendships. Willing to do illegal things to protect the people she cares about if it seems like the ‘logical’ thing.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Prospective Buyer. Smooth, business type. Has been meeting a lot with Brennan about buying the club. Booth won’t sell.
Alleyne: Brother's Partner. Cop. Very by-the-book. Annoyed by noncompliance.

Kyra and I will be putting together the motive and evidence and a lose schedule of what will happen when during the loss. The characters will have believed they've been in these roles for years (at least). While they aren't necessarily townspeople, they're a close-knit group and will not be very cooperative to outside investigators. This is partially so we can keep it a small loss and partially so Para doesn't have to deal with a massive murder hunt. However, those not suffering from the loss should definitely feel free to notice all the sudden strangeness among this group!

There will be more details to come as soon as we have our cast list for the loss. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to contact myself or Kyra!

If you are interested, please comment to this with the role you wish to have your character fill, as well as the best method of contact so that we can inform you as information for the plot is developed.

OMG I loved this episode. I can't wait to stalk this like a hawk.

... Suddenly I really wish Vincent and Wendell were here. :s

It is a wonderful, wonderful episode. :D

And oh man. I know a girl who plays a pretty damn good Vincent, but she's still testing him out. ALAS.

omg this was one of my favorite episodes. if you don't mind having a troll involved in this plot, could i possibly get Terezi for the lawyer? (I can cut down/not bother with her typing quirk at all if that bothers you, I've got no problem doing action/voice things where she's concerned.)

I don't really know much about the trolls as is, but I see absolutely no reason why Terezi can't be the lawyer? Consider the slot yours!

(And, even though it's AU, I remember the episode being AU to the degree where you still recognized the characters. So if typing quirks are important to her character, go for it!)

Hnnnngh okay you guys won me over with the rapper. If you folks don't have anyone already lined up for that spot, would it be okay if I nab it for Davesprite? He's a hipster coolkid in canon anyway so this would totally fit him and. Get him super confused with criminal connections after this loss is over.
