"Just as long you're not a sore loser." he teased as he finished up organizing a shelf

”I’m only a sore loser when I, somehow, get beat in a fight.” she smirked. ”I can handle losing in a game. How good are you at losing?” she asked teasing him right back. She was really enjoying this banter.

"I'll let you know when I do." he told her, not able to help a grin spreading across his face

She grinned mischievously back. ”Shall we play after work?” she asked. This was perfect if he agreed. It would give her an excuse to drive him to his place with out trying to figure out another non-awkward why to ask him.

"You bet." he chuckled "I have the updated version back at my place if you wanna play." he said to her as he glanced back at the wall clock

”Perfect.” she smiled a little victoriously, glad that things had worked out this way. ”I call dibs on Ms. Scarlett.” she laughed a little since she knew how childish that sounded.

"Well that's fine Miss Scarlet for I, Professor Plum, will be the one to solve the mystery." he chuckled

”Oh, I don't think so, Professor. I’m quite good at deduction.” she played along. ”And something tells me you've never had to deal with a femme fatale.” she smirked.

"Oh I think I can handle your charms woman for there is more important manners to attend to…now where did I put my keys?" Arno asked, playing up the scatterbrained Professor's persona as he patted his pockets "Ah the back pocket of course!"

She smiled brightly as she attempted to hold back her laughter at Theo’s acting. ”I agree there are important things for you to deal with but if you often forget your keys then your case may be rather weak to begin with.” she batted her eyes, trying her hand at being the smooth-talking red-letter character.

"Ah yes but I think you have quite the motive Miss." he told her as he plucked the keys from his pocket and motioned over for her to follow "We have a mystery to solve."

”Yes, we do.” she smiled, perking up when she realized the time. She picked up her bag and put her sketchbook back before sauntering over to him. ”However, my dear professor, I believe you have quite the motive as well.”

"Oh and w-what would that be Miss?" He asked as he held the door open for her, stuttering his words just a bit

”Oh no no no. You accused me first.” she smirked playfully as he faltered. ”First tell me why you suspect me?” she asked innocently.

"Well Miss Scarlet you can't expect us not to notice that you've been jumping from bachelor to bachelor and Mr. Boddy…well I find it hard to believe his murder was just a coincidence once you two started to date." Arno said, giving her a side eye

Meg did her best to look aghast. ”Well, I…” she chuckled. ”I suppose I see your point. But if I was going to do something like this, I would at least wait until I was Mrs. Boddy first and legally in the will.” she smirked at him. ”However I know that Mr. Boddy was about to stop funding for you and your experiments.”

"W-well I'll have to say that I completely forgot that he was going t-to do that. He was such a lovely young man, such a shame that his life was ended so short." he told Meg as he shut the door behind them and locked it up

Meg nodded before leading him over to her car. ”True, it is a shame.” she looked at him raising a brow at Theo. ”Your memory may be failing you a bit but the evidence will speak clearly enough.”

Once in the car he started to bust out laughing "Ah you're a good Scarlet Meg." he told her as he buckled his seat belt

She was relieved to drop the act and laughed with him. ”Oh man! That was fun!” she smiled at him. ”You do a very good Professor, yourself.”

"Ah I was a theatre kid." he said softly as he glanced to her face, her eyes "You'd also make a good Dr. Orchid…you're quite clever and smart." he told her

”Ah. That explains it.” she teased a little, looking over at him. ”Honestly, I got stage fright when I was a kid so theater was a no-go for me. Wait… Who’s Dr. Orchid?” she asked a little confused though she appreciated the compliment. She had heard him mention that he had the ”updated” game but she didn't know what that meant either.

"Oh she replaced Mrs. White a while ago. She has a Ph.D and is a scientist. She was raised by Mrs. White until her mysterious death. It was believed that Mrs.White was after Dr. Orchid's wealth." Theo explained. "She's a pinkish pawn."

”Oh. Anything else I need to know about the update?” she asked as she started to drive to his place. ”I’ve actually only played the original version.”

"Just cards that you can roll to pull that can force people to all move into the same room and that sort of thing." Theo told her as he sat back in his seat
