You all are looking for a vacation, and find a peculiar flyer one day. A train that stretched throughout several countries and a couple dozen cities had just finished building, and was open for business. As a promotion, the seats in the first car of the train, the car with the best seats, were on sale, 80% off. Only a selected few were able to seize this opportunity, and they would soon figure out why the tickets were so unbelievably cheap.
The Hostess
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
"I am the host of the first car. You guys can call me... Phantom. Yes, I like that. Well let's get to the point. You lucky few have been selected to go anywhere you want on this train for an incredibly low price. But there's a catch. Only if you survive. In this car is a murderer... maybe one or two, possibly more than that. To survive, you must simply either be lucky, avoid people, or kill someone yourself. I will select who dies and who doesn't. But just because I pulled your name out of the hat, doesn't mean you will definitely die. This is a game of escape. Escape from death. But I warn you, don't even try to go through the windows or down to another car. They have been cut off and sent to another track. If any of you attempt to leave this train, your life is on the line."
About the game
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
OBJECTIVE: Once the survivors are down to three people (including the killer), you will try to guess who the murderer is. If unsuccessful, the murderer may choose the end result of the story (i.e, killing the two last survivors, letting them live, even committing suicide, etc.). If the murderer gets revealed, he/she will die and the last two standing will get to enjoy the rest of the train ride in peace.

LAYOUT OF THE CAR
~There will be one cabin per person. 10 Total. Labeled Cabin # 1-10.
There are two windows per cabin. Don't try breaking them. They are strong, reinforced windows that don't break, and as I said earlier; any attempt to escape will be noted.
~There is the cabin hallway that connects to all the other rooms of the train. Think of it as the center.
~1 Bathroom
~1 Kitchen
~1 Dining room with a bar
~1 Engine room
And finally the hostess's quarters. Phantom's office is off limits.

How this game will be executed
No one will know who the killer is. To kill a person, the murderer must be put in a room alone with the victim, in a specified time length. They do not need to write down any modus operandi or if they killed that person or not.
All methods to kill a person will be slow and gradual, so they can interact with other people aside from the murderer before they die.
If the host orders or demands anything, your characters must act accordingly (i.e. The host says, "Please go to the dining room person #1, and person #2." They will have to go.)
The host has all rights to change the course of the story and add a turn of events.
The host will also announce the deaths of players and how they died.
