Kill Joy

Connor chastises Dora for sharing private conversations and admits that while he did say those words, he was merely “blowing off steam” after Reginald Remy denied his time-off request to visit his daughter, whom he rarely sees (56). Connor attempts to turn scrutiny onto Cara’s character by informing everyone that Dora has only worked for the Remy Manor for the past six months, after the previous cook abruptly quit, claiming that someone was threatening her life. Connor implies that Dora is not who she says she is, and Jamie interrupts the group, telling the players that they are about to learn their characters’ biggest secrets.

Pip opens her envelope, learning that Celia is a spy working for the British Secret Service. She is at Remy Manor on a mission to investigate claims that her uncle is a communist sympathizer involved in seditious activity, including making payments to a known communist named Harris Pick. Celia is responsible for breaking into the safe and stealing his checkbook, looking for evidence of the money transfer. The conversation that Ralph overheard was Celia and her handler discussing her findings.

The booklet instructs Pip to lie about her reasons for breaking into the safe if anyone should figure out it was her.
