hey! This just popped into my head as a way to incorporate the "murder" aspect into the piece.
maybe everyone lies down during the concluding section (maybe during the second version of the unison phrase?), not necessarily at the same time, but in the same general expanse of time (a minute?) and gets their body traced in chalk on the floor by another partygoer. they then get up and continue their business -- put on their coat, etc. maybe this body tracing is a way of transitioning from party mode into getting ready to leave? the memory of the person rermains...they were there, at this moment, on this night...but now, theyre gone. it's over.
at the end of the piece, everyone is gone from the stage, and only chalk outlines of their bodies remain.

I think thats a good idea! And it isn't murder literally, but people will get the idea with just the chalk outlines.
