About Rumi

Rumi spent the earlier part of the night setting up harmless pranks, pointing people toward the wrong room and laughing when it worked. That same instinct to misdirect makes him unreadable now that the situation is real: is he still joking, or is he pointing people the wrong way on purpose? He treats the panic around him like a game longer than anyone else in the house, which makes some guests trust him less and others relax around him more. Getting a straight answer out of him takes effort, and you're not sure yet whether that's habit or something else.

Appears in

Character notes

The house clown, if you can still call it that. He sets pranks, points people the wrong way, and treats panic like a game until it is not.

First lines to try in Murder Mystery

• I keep my voice steady. "Nobody leaves this room until we agree on what we actually saw, starting with who found them first."

• I hang back near the door, watching everyone's hands. "If someone here did this, I'd rather know sooner than share a hallway with them tonight."
