Just before dawn, a scream rocks the castle. Everybody rushes out of their rooms to see Puffin standing before a puddle of blood in the hallway between rooms 106 and 105. Large, bloody footprints coming into and out of both rooms tell you what has happened without needing to see anything.

It appears Kamau and Hyperlisk were killed last night, brutally murdered by the fierce beasts. Their bodies are mostly torn to shreds, and it is obvious they died in agony.

((DAWN OF THE SECOND DAY))
{((-five days remain-))

((From here on out, you will have until Wednesday to complete day actions. If a consensus is achieved before then, night will immediately begin))

[Kamau]

[[Message from beyond the grave. You guys are all jerks. ): ]]

[Xteven Xavier]

Upon seeing Puffin standing in a pool of blood in the middle of the the floor Xteven Yelled "WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!".

His mind began racing and he really started to panic now, 'what the hell is going on in this crazy place why on earth are all of my friends dying' he then blurted it out without thinking, "Give me the knife cute chick, I'm gonna cut everyone, if they are a werewolf surely there will be an effect, there has to be one, oh god, why is this happening?," he fell to his knees having a complete panic attack, "Why is this happening?"

He then cooly tried to collect his thoughts to no avail.

"If we cut everyone with the silver there surely has to be some affect right? I mean we have the bandages to fix it,"He said dragging himself back to his feet, "I mean we have the bandages to close it up, just a little cut, come on. and if nothing happens at least we'll all be blood brothers."

[Stars]

Seeing the puddles of blood, Stars steels himself and opens the door to 106. When he sees Kamau's body, it's obvious that nothing can be done for him at this point. Expecting a similar situation, he opens the door to 105 and is not surprised. As the gravity of what has happened sinks in, he can't help but fall to his knees and vomit.

EDIT: ((Ninja'd))

Stars barely takes in Xteven's rant until he starts going on about the knife. Wiping away a dribble of emesis, he exclaims, "You can't just go around cutting people with a knife, even if it hadn't been stuck in a werewolf's chest! There has to be a better way we can figure out who's to blame." Stars stares worriedly at Xteven.

[Jody]

Hearing all the screams, Jody stumbles out into the hallway and stops in her tracks at all the gore in the hallway. Looking at the floor near her foot, some manner of human bone lay splintered and dripping with blood. Stepping over it and walking forward slowly, Jody sidles up beside Puffin, putting a hand on her shoulder. After recognizing one of the victims as Kamau, she fumbles over some comforting things to say but comes up with nothing. Glancing at Hyperlisk, a wave of disappointment falls over Jody. He would have been a beneficial part of the group. Maybe the werewolf knew that...

Stepping a bit closer to the corpses, looking for any sort of sign of who had assaulted them, Jody draws in a sharp gasp. Leaning over Kamau quickly and gingerly shoving some bits of clothing and guts away, she stands up and puts her hands on her hips angrily. As the other MonkeyConers filter into the hallway, Jody looks at them in outrage. "WE HAVE BEEN DUPED. I've seen what cannot be unseen! Our dear friend Kamau has been lying from the start!! We've been tricked!"

Taking a step back and pinching the bridge of her nose in frustration and nearly tripping over what's left of Hyperlisk's leg, Jody quickly regains her composure. "We should have seen it all along. Since the very moment we all boarded the carriage! Kamau is... she WAS..."

Stomping over to Kamau's body once again, Jody kicks away everything nearby and reveals the area for everyone to see. "She wasn't even a boy!! There's not even a penis!!

[[OOC: Whoops, I thought they were dead in the hall. Let's just pretend I pulled them out for my stunning revelation. That's not creepy, right? I don't know, use your imagination.]]

[Puffin]

((I'm just going to go with you wandered into the room to take a closer look...? XP))

"W-what did I...?" Puffin remarked, first in shock at Xavier before anger began to well up. If it hadn't been for Jody's awkward comforting, then a few fists might have flown. "I.. I don't know if the knife will do anything," Puffin admitted after a moment, trying to keep herself calm or at least some semblance of rational. The calm part wasn't working out too well, as she nervously ran her hands through her hair and folded them against her chest. Anything to keep the shaking under control.

[Xteven Xavier]

"It figures you would say that Stars," Xteven, said still sort of panicking but not wanting to go any further into it. " we need a sure proof way to figure it out and I don't have any other Ideas. Do you mister smarty pants?"

Upon hearing Jody's words he turned to her and said,"Your joking surely the werewolf just ate his penis, It would be cruel to pretend to be someone your not like that."

[Stars]

((I guess I kind of helped kill the last game by talking people out of lynching without proof... I'll try to avoid that this time. xp))

"I don't know... Did anyone leave their room to use the bathroom or whatever last night? Maybe somebody saw or heard something."

[Hyperlisk]

/>[[Message from beyond the grave. You guys are all jerks. ): ]]

[Glaciermage]

Glace finally emerges from his room. He looks terrible. Part of it may be due to the fact that the stench and gore in room 105 is almost unbearable. Another part of it may be the almost empty bottle of booze that he carries in his left hand. Glace has a determined look on his face before he speaks.

"Well this shit's just gotten real, eh?" He pauses for a second, and smiles in disbelief. "I can't believe we were so stupid! I mean, Hyperlisk and I broadcast to everyone last night that we'd be drinking. We practically invited a would-be werewolf to catch us unaware. If only we'd have been more prepared. We let our guards down, and drank so much. I don't know, I can't help but feel somewhat responsible."

Glace looked in the direction of room 105 as if speaking to Hyperlisk. "It could've been me just as easily as it was you, brother. The one bright spot in this whole affair was getting to know you last night. Much like the games you made for our community, I think the best way to describe you is you were simple, yet brilliant. And I mean simple in a good way. No extra drama. No extra complications. You were just a loyal, low maintenance, easy going friend, and you deserved a better ending than this." Glace raised the bottle of booze. "To Hyperlisk!" he said, and then poured out a small shot onto the ground. "Whoever did this to you is gonna burn!"

Glace now turned to address everyone else. "Stars is right. Someone must've seen or heard something. I say we use this precious daylight to find clues. You can't commit a crime of this magnitude without leaving a trail behind." Glace paused for a minute while examining his door. "For instance, there is no sign of forced entry on this door. I know Hyperlisk and I locked it before we went to bed last night. So either him or I unlocked it in a drunken stupor while looking for the bathroom, or someone picked the lock. There must be more clues. We need to search the rooms, or do something to figure out what happened last night."

[lazlo falconi]

Lazlo flinched at the site before him. "So nobody saw or heard anything? Listen guys, I don't want to say it but I don't want this happening again... We need to stop whoever did this." He looked down at the gruesome display before him, "But first I think we need to do something about this. Xteven, you know how to cook, right? Why don't you make us some breakfast. Puffin, Glacie... You probably shouldn't be here. I'm gonna try to clean this up, does anybody... Will somebody please help me?"

[Stars]

Stars shivers at the prospect of gathering up his friends' remains and mopping up their blood, but he stands up and steps forward to help Lazlo. Unsure of what else to...put them in...he pulls the sheet off Kamau's bed and lays it on the floor to transfer her body onto it and move her out of the room. "What should we...do with them?" he asked no one in particular.

[Monkeydog]

Monkeydog shows up late to the bloodbath and his eyes widen.

"Oh no..."

He could hardly believe what lay in front of him. Two of his friends, who he got to know so well over the years, lay dead right in front of him, and it was all his fault.

"I was really hoping this was all a joke..." he said with a whisper and a whimper.

And then it finally hits him, that this is not a joke, and he'll never see two of his best friends ever again. "It's all my fault" Monkey cries out, and then starts crying. He grabs Lazlo, the person closest to him, and starts crying into his sexy muscular arms to find some kind of relief for his grief.

[BottomGuy]

BottomGuy followed on to the scene behind Monkeydog. He had heard several different muffled reactions from people in their room and he was not looking forward to seeing what they were about. Needless to say he was not ready.

"Oh god."

He had thought that the scene yesterday had been bad, but compared to...this. Compared to this yesterday was a tame incident. There was just so much blood everywhere which was what was really getting to BottomGuy. He had to go over to the wall and put his arms over his head and rest them against the wall. Just seeing all of this was making him feel feint. And that was just seeing the gruesome scene. BottomGuy didn't even know how to start wrapping his head around the fact that two of his friends were dead.

Just then he heard Stars ask what they should do with them. Almost immediately and idea came to mind, though he sort of wished it didn't come so quickly. "It may sound bad but I...I think we should burn them." BottomGuy stood up straight and turned to face everyone else. "Or cremate them or whatever you want to call it. I know it might sound bad but...it's the safest option. We cannot leave them here, god knows what might happen from having dead bodies exposed health wise. We can still do it respectfully. We just...we just need to do it." BottomGuy's shoulders convulsed trying to shake away the horrid scene.

[Jody]

"I... we... let's just bring Hyperlisk into Kamau's room and keep them in there... They're so bloody and destroyed, and there's plenty of other rooms... and if anyone else..." Jody tears up a bit, thinking of the possibility of having to bring even yet more friends into the room. "Well, hopefully that can just be where they can rest for now."

Waiting patiently for Hyperlisk to be transferred, Jody looks to the rest of the group. "I say we all head down to the dining room. We all need to speak to each other and see what was said or heard. We have the silver knife. If we think that someone is behind this... if one of us is a werewolf... we need to make sure this won't happen again tonight... It's better one person who is guilty and a murdering wolf monster die tonight than more of us who aren't infected..." Shaking her head slowly, Jody wanders down the hall and down the stairs to the dining room, horrified at the terrible decisions the group is going to be forced to make before the day is done.


[(OOC: Please note: This isn't a murder mystery roleplay. Well I mean it kinda is, but also it's mafia. Lynches need to happen or we're gonna just get creamed. There probably aren't many "clues", if any, it's all about who says/does suspicious things and trying to call attention to the rest of the group lynch them for the wellbeing of the survivors. So let's not get too carried away with details that the game master didn't even put in, haha <3)]

[Monkeydog]

Monkeydog looked up from Lazlo's chest and with his swollen eyes looked towards Jody.

Weakly he started talking "...She's right. Nothing good or rational can come from standing around the dead bodies of our friends. Let's just all head downstairs and discuss what our next moves should be...." He let out a sigh and continued a bit more sternly "and as long as I'm still around I'm still leader of MP, so let's all get down there, as soon as we can, I know someone will have to deal with the bodies."

He took one more look at his departed friends and followed accompanied Jody downstairs.

[Glaciermage]

Glace agreed with Jody and Monkeydog and headed downstairs. After thinking for a while, and working up some courage, he spoke.

"I think the problem is that we are all too kind hearted. It's tough to accuse a friend of doing something so horrible. But Jody and Monkeydog are right. We have to do this for the greater good. It's time that we started discussing who could possibly be infected. As of right now, I'd have to say that since no one saw or heard anything, the most likely candidates are those people without roommates. I know that I fall into that category. I'm not going to stick my head in the sand and pretend like I'm not a suspect. Sorry to Puffin and Amethyst for bringing it up. But we have to start somewhere, and I don't have anything else to go on."

Glace's moment of courage fades. This is not the kind of conversation he thought he'd ever have to start. "Thoughts anyone?"

[Amethyst]

Amethyst had leaned coolly on the wall of the corridor, remaining silent through the chaos. It was grotesque and horrid and terrifying, and as much as she wanted to go into another room and just cry, she forced herself into her quiet solitude.

...Until she was called out, anyway.

With a sigh, she twirled her hair and stared at the floor, thinking,
"Yes... It is logical to assume that the people without roommates would be better able to move so undetected..."
She paused, reasoning out the scenario in her head.
"So that's three of us, isn't it? But... Just because I prefer to stay alone, doesn't mean I'm a killer, or a demon. And further, the room assignments do not tailor themselves to the afflicted. In otherwords, we cannot assume that I'm a werewolf just because I do not have a roommate. That scenario occurred by some degree of chance. Although I do not mind it, I did not ask to be alone."
At once, she bounced off the wall and took a firm stance, pointing herself at Glace,
"On the other hand... I find that two of our three roommate-less persons became that way as a direct result of this scenario. Unlike my situation, there IS an implied causality there."

She looked around, the words hanging in her lips ready to escape.
"In otherwords, I posit that the most likely suspects are those who just lost their roommates- Puffin and, of course, yourself, Glace.

It makes sense if you think about it. If a wolf was hungry, why would he or she leave the room to get a snack when there's one right there? But more than that... It's convenient for them if they become alone. That way there's no one who could accidentally hear them as they sneak out. The move is almost necessary if they want to harvest the other rooms."

She huffed triumphantly, and advanced on Glace,
"And one further thing, your honour..." She whispered loudly as she drew near him. "You're quite clever, aren't you?" She laughed slightly, "I admit, I almost didn't notice... but it was a very nice idea you had, sir. Bringing up the suggestion for everyone to touch the knife?"

She paused and glared at him with her piercing eyes.
"...But you never actually touched it yourself."
She spun around and paced away a few steps.
"Incidentally, there was one other person who failed to touch the knife. ...Puffin. Our other roommate-less guest."
Amethyst concluded her speech, facing her audience again and donning the falsest smile of a 1950's desperate housewife.
"Now, isn't that convenient?"

The smile fell off of her face at once, her tone fell flat, and in one dramatic motion, she unsheathed the Silver Knife from her pocket and its cloth, and thrust it pointed towards Glace,
"I hereby formally accuse Glace of knowingly harboring the werewolf infection, and by association, murdering our former friends.

Who is with me?"

[Glaciermage]

After hearing Amethyst's words, Glace instantly broke into a sweat. He smiled nervously.

"So you've caught that little oversight, eh? Yes, while I was the first to volunteer to touch the knife, I never did actually touch it." Glace stepped forward. "Let's fix that."

Glace took the knife and placed it between his two palms as he had seen others do. He closed his eyes and waited. Nothing happened.

"Oh, thank God!" Glace said as he handed the knife back to Amethyst and sat down at the table. "You know with all the blood and werewolf dander around this place I wasn't quite sure. That's a load off my mind."

Glace now addressed Amethyst. "I respect you, Amethyst. I still can't formally accuse you. I do find, however, that the first person to formally accuse someone usually has the most to hide. If I were a werewolf, the LAST person I would attack would be my roommate. Why bring all that suspicion on yourself? You are the only one of us "accused" that didn't have a roommate last night. That's why I lean more toward thinking it was you than I do toward Puffin. Also, I find it interesting that you were the first person to go for the knife. Again, if I was a werewolf, I would want sole control of the only weapon that could hurt me. I'd keep it safe, all wrapped up in a sheath."

Glace now turned to the group. "So those are my thoughts, but I'm interested to hear what everyone else has to say."

[Stars]

Stars found himself shocked at the direction this conversation was heading. Were they really going to kill someone in the hope that it stopped the attacks? He stared at Glace, wondering how he would respond to Amethyst's words. When Glace grabbed onto the blade and didn't recoil in pain, Stars realized that he was holding his breath and exhaled. His thoughts then turned to one of the other accusees.

"We should let Puffin touch the knife too. I can't imagine that she would ever kill Kamau, werewolf or not, but we should still confirm whatever we can."

He didn't expect anything to happen though. If they had kept track accurately, she was the only person left untested, yet two people had been killed last night. It seemed the only way to properly check someone with the knife would be to kill them with it. The thought made Stars shudder.
