[Stars]

Stars gave a start when he realized that Monkey was talking to him. "What? No! I saw the two of you disappear into the servant's quarters when Lazlo and I went looking for medical supplies on our first day here. I couldn't see where you went, and I've been curious about that. I managed to find the entrance last night, but I fled back to my room when I saw movement inside in case it was a frikin' WEREWOLF!"

Star pauses a moment to catch his breath and compose himself. "But what about you? How are the two of you not suspicious for knowing about passages that you say only a werewolf could know about? And just because you guys found the passages first, I'm a werewolf for finding one too?"

"Look, I'm know I'm probably under suspicious for not voting against the werewolf we killed yesterday-" Stars looks apologetically at Puffin before turning back to Monkey. "-but as I recall, both of you voted after there was already a majority against Glace. I wonder if either of your votes might have change if you could have saved him."

[lazlo falconi]

Lazlo moves over to Stars, agreeing, "Yeah, I didn't even think about it until now... You two did just disappear that day! How did you know about that passage?"

[Jody]

Jody goes and stands over Bears slight, female frame. "Poor, poor girl..." Reaching down and grabbing the silver knife from her, she peels it gently from Amethyst's cold grasp. The action jars her body a bit, and Jody draws back with a gasp. Looking down upon Amethyst's now readjusted and more revealed body, she peers at the fellow MonkeyConers at the door in a confused manner.

"Oh... I found Kamau's penis."

[Monkeydog]

"We just stumbled upon the passageway when we went to go out looking, BottomGuy can back me up on this."
"And well yes, you have to be a werewolf, Stars. There were only two people in the passageway last night, you and I. I am not a werewolf, I know that for fact, and if people want to crucify me so be it, but I trust I won't because I'm not."

Monkeydog's eyes then goes to the floor in front of Amethyst's door, and then up to the door and back to Stars.

"And as we can see there is no bloody footsteps like in the other two murders, nor is there a sign of entry. Thusly...the werewolf must have used to passage to get into Amethyst's room last night. There is no other way to get in and out of there."

Monkeydog lets out a big sigh.

"So, basically. I know I'm not a werewolf. I know only the two of us used the passageway last night, and I know that the werewolf must have used the passageway to get to Bear. Which puts the death solely onto you."

[Stars]

"It had to be me because there are no footprints? That's got to be one of the shakiest accusations I've ever heard, and I used to watch the heck out of A Pup Named Scooby Doo. And saying that you're not a werewolf means nothing. Any of us would claim that whether it was true or not."

"I fled the passage when I saw someone else in there, apparently you. I've given my reason for being there, but what were you doing in a secret passage that leads to our dead friend's room? I didn't even know where it went before today."

[Monkeydog]

"To make sure there were no werewolves prowling around. Like I said, people can crucify me as a werewolf all they want, but I highly doubt they will. I have no proof that I am not, but I don't think you do either."

[Stars]

((I was hoping someone else would weigh in so that Monkey and I can stop going "NO U!"))

"You're right, I don't. We're even in that regard, I suppose. Now..." Stars turns to face BottomGuy, "your roommate has been keeping quiet this whole time. He was another one who held back on voting until Glace was already done for.
"If Monkey was indeed prowling the secret passage to watch for werewolves, who can say what you were up to last night. If you knew that he would be in the secret passage, you could go wherever you pleased without him ever knowing about it. Anything you can tell us about that?"

[BottomGuy]

BottomGuy had been quietly sitting back not wanting to take part in the little back-and-forth blame game. It was upsetting enough that Amethyst had been murdered last night. He had known Kamau and Amethyst the longest on a personal level out of most of the MP community. Seeing Amethyst dead felt like a cruel joke on him because of all the times he had jokingly killed him in their IM chats. This was all emotionally hard to take in and BottomGuy had no desire to make it worse by fighting. Then suddenly he was brought into the fray as Stars called him out.

"First of all, I have not spoken up because I do not like interrupting. You two have been going back and forth so fast that you have not really given me a chance to speak up. It was even worse yesterday when everyone was arguing. That's why I wasn't the first one to cast a vote. And everyone cannot vote first anyway. Someone has to vote last, which in this case is Lazlo but you aren't pointing a finger at him."

"Second, about knowing what Monkey was doing. I honestly did not know he was investigating that passageway. I spent some time reading and writing notes then went to bed early because it had been an exhausting day. Hell if I was going to go out into this large place with werewolves on the prowl, let alone a secret passageway where no one could help me. And to answer your why we did not bring it up sooner, it's because there was never a chance. When we first found it we didn't want to tell everybody in case there really was a werewolf or killer among us. After we found Kamau and Hyper dead I had all intentions on bringing it up. At the very least we wanted to see if anyone had used the passageways to get into their rooms. But then we spent so much bloody time arguing over who did it and killing Glace that there wasn't any time to bring it up."

BottomGuy took in a deep breath after essentially going on a mini-rant. His heart was racing now having let that all come out. It was racing even more because he realized what he was going to have to say next. "Finally, and I reeeeeally cannot believe I am saying this now, but you are the most likely right now, Stars. Monkey and I hadn't told anyone else about that passageway, and it does lead into Amethyst's room. I...I...think it might be you." The words almost didn't come out of his mouth because he was choking up.

[Monkeydog]

"So I take it that's two votes Stars, one vote me?"

"Anyone else like to voice their opinions?"

[lazlo falconi]

Monkeydog... It seems odd to me that you and BottomGuy knew about these passageways... I think I'll have to vote for you."

[Puffin]

Puffin looked between everyone, looking increasingly uncomfortable as the votes came in. With Xavier sick and Jody remaining silent, she felt she had to be the one to break the tie. They couldn't do nothing after what happened to Amethyst, but it wasn't easy to choose between two of the closest friends she'd made through MP. "Sorry, Stars..." She said eventually, looking at the ground more than anyone in the room, "But I don't really know if I can trust you with everything that's happened. Even if you did leave the passage after you saw Monkey, you could have doubled back and continued through after he left. That and, well, thinking I killed Kamau... I hate to say it, but if I have to vote for one of you guys, it's you."

[lazlo falconi]

"I guess that's it, then, huh? There's no convincing you otherwise..." Stars said solemnly. He looked around for any last bit of sympathy, and sank to the ground. "I guess I'm ready then."


Lazlo grabbed the knife from Amethyst's corpse, and swiftly sank it into Stars. With no fanfare, he was dead. The knife slipped out, sizzling as it did, and everybody breathed a sigh of relief. This ordeal was almost over. They simply had to wait the remaining four days until help arrived.
