We started with the same base : 5 people in a castle during the 18th century and not any castle, a castle with a legend...
As you probably read it in a previous article, our class was divided into 6 tables. Here are the ideas each table proposed :

Table 1 : Their story was about 4 characters, Amy, Grace, Greg and Chloe who were all visiting Dublin. They were from different social classes. They spent the night together in the Blarney House near Dublin. The first morning, Chloe went missing. Because she could not be found, they all believed she had been killed and everybody started suspecting one another. Then, the fifth character, Suzan Murphy, the owner of the castle, tells them about the legend of the Blarney House. At the end, Chloe comes back and explains what happened to her.

Table 2 : This story took place in a boarding school for girls. One day, Elisabeth went missing. She was one out of 5 friends, Mary, Marguerite, Roxanne and the narrator.

At the end, Elisabeth comes back and explains the reason of her absence.

Ellen and Grace, her aristocratic friends, tried to defend her but Charles kept taking the mickey. One day, they find a mysterious haunted castle. Everybody is scared except the little farmer. At the end we understand that it was only a dream but it gave the little farmer enough courage to stand up to Charles.
