First Spin: Chloe and Derek (Patreon)

It was a close vote, but Chloe and Derek pulled ahead late in the game to win the  Discord Poll! Who will be next? :O

Derek was right on this one. Chloe isn't a lifelong Castlewood native, but she's been his classmate long enough to know better than to tempt fate like that in his presence. Derek was cuffed naked on the spot as a suspected serial arsonist. However, after a bit of discussion, it was revealed that the arresting officer was a rookie transfer from the neighboring town of Bishop Meadow. Apparently his new colleagues had forgotten to brief him about Derek Maestas, how nearly all fires in Castlewood are connected to him in some way, and, by whatever god you believe in, each and every investigation has revealed such occurrences to be genuinely accidental in nature. Everyone in the Castlewood police force knows Derek by name, and they rarely even bother taking his statement anymore unless they're having a hard day and need to laugh.

Luckily, Casey had been fast to hide the alcohol. Once the rookie officer was certain that everyone in attendance was a legal adult, he slowly backed out of the house in silence, taking one last look before disappearing out the front door. Despite numerous petitions made by the young Valette heiress, there was currently no law in Castlewood against a gathering of hedonistic young perverts, and the party was allowed to continue.

No sooner than when the squad car had cleared the driveway, Jane spun the bottle again.
