1. Edgar, standing at the head of the table, speaks seriously: “Please, a grave and sinister act has been committed here this evening.

2. Lenore, lounging on the other side of the table holding her wine: “Yeah. Louisa May’s dress.”

3. Louisa May, wearing an peach frilly dress, chokes on her drink slightly.

4. Lenore gives a little high-five to Oscar Wilde, offscreen, who gives a little ‘yes’. End ID]

Best of Poe Party (4/?)

I only intended to have a night of revelry!

[image description: digital drawing of Anabelle Lee’s ghost giving a nervous-looking, blushing Edgar Allen Poe a kiss on the cheek. Edgar is drawn in greyscale, while Anabelle is drawn in pinks, making her look translucent as the background is pink. There’s a little heart between them. End ID]

ghost kisses :)

[image descriptions: gifset focusing on George Elliot discussing their relationship with Eddie from Shipwreck’s Poe Party. They’re in the dimly lit dining room.

1. George, with a chuckle in response to someone else’s comment: “Yeah, he wasn’t so bad. I met him through my publisher.” Behind George is Edgar Allen Poe, Annabelle Lee, Oscar Wilde, Emily Dickinson and Fyodor Dostoevsky, all still laughing and looking at each other.

2. George continues: “Though I was worried he was going to reveal my identity as a woman…izer. A womanizer. Everyone’s eyes is now on them.

3. Focused on the other side of the room, where Charlotte Brontë, Mary Shelley, Lenore and Ernest Hemingway stands, looking serious. “A what?” Ernest says.

4. Zoomed in on George: “you know, like a real ladykiller?”

5. Zoomed out to show Oscar reply, lightly pointing at George: “so a murderer?”

6. Back onto George Elliot nervously trying to explain themselves: “no, no, it’s—it’s a saying. You know, like a real Don Juan.”

7. They smile slightly, before realising I boost seems to get it: “a cad about town?” Silence in response.

8. Looking away, George ends with: “Hey, it’s a real shame about those dead people, huh?” End ID].

Okay, who here didn’t know Eddie?

[gifs description: gifset of a scene from Shipwrecked’s Edgar Allen Poe’s Murder Mystery Dinner Party. It is set in Poe’s kitchen, lit by candlelight.

1. Charlotte Brontë, in the centre, raises a glass of wine and says, “I’m taking a page out of your book, Ernie.” To her left, Poe looks at the ground with mild horror; to her right, Annabel Lee turns around from facing the wind glasses.

2. On the other side of the room, from left to right, is Lenore, Oscar Wilde, HG Wells and Ernest Hemingway. HG Wells says, “careful. He won’t have many pages left.” Lenore turns to Wells with a open-mouth smile, Oscar plays with his hair as he examines the room, and Hemingway, leaning against a corner, raises his eyebrows as he looks to Wells.

3. Earnest gives a disgruntled “Hey” and looks away again. The delighted Lenore raises a hand for a high five, HG Wells, smiling, tries to high-five, but instead hits Oscar Wilde’s smiling face. Oscar immediately drops the smile, turns to Wells and slaps Well’s shoulder. End ID]
