A Postmodern Conversational Murder Mystery

Its very possible that my small (but awesome) Postcard From Mars audience might be "Murder mystery-ied out." Unfortunatley, I am not quite yet. So for the next couple days I'm gonna highlight all the different characters because everybody looked so cool and funny.
Jan Le Pardeau
Jan Yon Le Pardeau- Writer
Jan comes from an extremely conservative and religious family from the tiny village of
Vichy, France. His parents never allowed him to read anything but the Bible. Dancing, singing and artistic expression of any sort were instruments of Lucifer. Jan ran away from home with a group of traveling gypsies that shared their free-spirited way of life. While traveling he collected many books. This was the beginning of his love affair with literature. With the gypsies he wrote his first novel, “Chasing the Green Fairy: My Time with the Pixies.” And since then he has written many best sellers in France and in the States. Ms. Lily Patricia Noble Sunshine Awesome was so inspired by “Chasing the Green Fairy” that she disappeared for an entire year. When she returned she requested that Jan and her meet and have been friends ever since.

Behavior:
He is crazy, narcotic, and eccentric. He flashes from one mood to the next. He is recovering from substance abuse. He is the pinnacle liberal and randomly goes off on crazy rants about organized religion, especially Islam and other progressive social issues. He occasionally has rage black outs in which he storms off or sits quietly by himself and pouts. But when in a good mood he makes origami cranes for people that actually don’t look anything like cranes.

Ernst Havviener- Aspiring Inventor
Ernst is attending the party as a guest of Mr. Callaway Biggles, a traveling collector of all things bizarre and random. Mr. Biggles is Ernst’s greatest supporter and patron. Ernst will be meeting Ms. Lily Patricia Noble Sunshine Awesome for the first time at the Christmas party. Ernst grew up in Switzerland in the Black Forest. His father was an alchemist who constantly encouraged him to create great inventions. He has since aspired to become the greatest inventor in the “Wuniverse.” He has an inflated idea of his own genius. Above all things Ernst hates Thomas Edison. He is constantly commenting on his resentment towards Edison and his light bulbs. He believes that “there is no happiness where Thomas Edison brings his light bulbs, only darkness!” He wants to create something that he will be remembered for forever but instead he invents things like horse shoes for humans, toilet paper rolls, the marker that makes things invisible, the motorized ice cream cone, and the smokers hat. He also claims that he has created the first cross between a female tiger and a male lion, he has called it the Liger, the new King of the Jungle.

Behavior:
He has a strong and obnoxious Swiss accent. His favorite word is “Wuniverse” He always goes off on crazy rants in German. He is constantly trying to promote his inventions, especially the horse shoe for people which he constantly is forcing people to try on.
