"Office? What? Fillmore, calm down! And don't go out off on your own!"
Mr. Bear immediately went after him, and paused and yelled back to the others in that room,
"Um, someone get that body outside.
...Yeah."

[Jody]

Jody, who had been standing in the corner watching everyone freak out, gasped at Fillmore's grotesque display of anger. She watched him stomp away to the pot with a concerned look on her face.

Slowly, Jody observed each of her classmates faces. She hadn't known them for long, but she couldn't imagine any of them killing someone. Especially not Mindfizzle! His stupidness was entirely endearing. Or something like that...

Figuring nothing could be found out here and everyone was just watching Mindfizzle's silly dead corpose, Jody wanders down the hallway to the bathroom to see what Fillmore's up to.

[lazlo falconi]

Pulling Jody by the hand back to the group, Fillmore announced. We need to find out who did this, does anyone see any evidence toward who did this?

[Amethyst]

"Well, apparently Mindfizzle did, which really puts us between a rock and hard place."
...But there was the answer.

[Jody]

Back by the group, Jody rolls her eyes and snatches her hand back from Fillmore. "I'm sick of watching you all sit here and debate what to do. Obviously just going back to our rooms and sleeping or staying in there or whatever isn't going to work. We're never going to all agree on something, and quite frankly, I don't trust anyone here but Fillmore. I'm going down to the lobby to look for something useful. Like something that could smash someone's face in if they try to murder me, for example? You all stay up here and argue amongst yourselves while nothing gets done."

With that, Jody turns away and stalks down the hallway.

[lazlo falconi]

Fillmore turns around, reaching out, "Jody no!" He yelled. "We need to stick together. Stay up here for a minute, we're putting someone to trial."

[Stars]

"Jesus Christ, what happened to the 'stick together' plan? Why are all you guys wandering off? What ever happened to safety in numbers. Although you're right, Jody. We need to start finding some sort of evidence or at the very least something used as defense. But I really think we need to stick together for this one.

Does anybody have any more details about last night's murder? What time it happened, or who was with him before he died?"

BLU, although concerned for those wandering off for themselves, remains with the group, hoping that somebody has more information.

[BottomGuy]

"What...a trial?" BG blurted out in confusion. "Based on what? I don't know any of you since I'm the only one from my department here, but do you know something about someone here the rest of us don't? Unless you saw the person or have some sort of evidence I don't see what good a trial will do. Shouldn't we focus on covering each others hides first? I don't want to lock someone in the broom closest because of some mock trial and find another dead body, especially my own."

"Speaking of which," BG glanced over at the body of Mindfizzle, "we should place him outside for our own sakes."

[Jody]

Jody forces a smile at BLU. "I think we should stay together too, but it's hard to keep yourself compiled with a group of people who may or may not be murderers..." Looking down at Andrew sadly, she goes on to say "It probably is the best to stay together though, since if we're all together, if someone dies, someone will HAVE to see it..."

[Amethyst]

"No, that's right. We do need action, and we do need evidence. Lycanth has already been named as a suspect, though there's been little warrant for it. And Sapsuker would've had the easiest access to him, so he could be under suspicion. But it was Genifurr that he named. Although it's possible he was being manipulated, and she was somehow framed..."

[lazlo falconi]

Fillmore pulled Mindfizzle's body out to the common room, and placed it facedown on the coffee table. From there, it merely looked as though he had passed out, drunk. "He died doing what he loved. Living." If the group had gathered around him, he announced once more. "Alright, I said trial, but there's nothing to try here. Mindfizzle told me that Kamau did it before he died. Did he say the same to anyone else? I vote to put Kamau out in the cold. Think about it, have any of you seen him around? He's the only one who's had time to do it! Why won't he talk to us or gather with us. He's got to be the killer. We're taking him out. Who's with me?" Fillmore grabbed Kamau by the scruff of the necked and pushed his face into Mindfizzle's body, "Do you see what you did? DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID? THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOU. NO. BAD BOY."

[Jody]

Jody shoves Fillmore roughly, causing him to lose his hold on Kamau. Drawing her hand back, she slaps him square across the face. "What the hell is the matter with you?! You're acting so weird... just because you're suspicious of Kamau doesn't give you the right to assume the position of judge and executioner!" Trying not to cry, Jody confronts her boyfriend firmly. "You need to stop this."

[lazlo falconi]

"But he did it! He did it Jody! I need to bring her to justice! Whatever it takes."

[Amethyst]

"Both of you, stop!"
Bear rushed in between them and tried to force them back with his arms.
"...This is no time to get angry, and this is no time to be hurting each other," he sternly commanded, glaring back and forth between them.

[Kamau]

"W-what?" Kamau was panicking as he was suddenly grabbed and shoved towards the dead body lying on the ground. "I-I didn't do it!" Seeing as he was so close, he was unable to help but stare at the body on the ground, and he also couldn't help but start to tear up. Sure, he wasn't the greatest fan of Mindfizzle, but to murder him? He could barely make mean faces at Puffin without apologizing!

Just as quickly as he had been pushed towards the body, Kamau found himself falling to the ground, thankfully not on top of Mindfizzle's body. Looking up, he saw that it was Jody that had caused Fillmore to release his grip.

[I've been in class, people! D: I didn't even know anyone had been killed!]

[Puffin]

Puffin went to Kamau, and glared at Fillmore, "Kamau wouldn't hurt anyone! He can barely stand to crush a spider, and he actually hates those. We can't go accusing people at this point, we don't know anything about who the killer might be and I'm not about to take a dead man's word against my friend."

[Jody]

Stepping away from Bear, Jody looks at Fillmore crossly, then at Puffin and Kamau. "I'm so sorry... Puffin, you should take Kamau out of here. I think we're all a little high strung from all this madness and we just need to think this through..."

[lazlo falconi]

"Well neither am I, and Kamau's dead! Mindfizzle is my friend and he said it was Kamau! Kamau did it and now he's dead! He may be Jeckel now, but tonight we'll see our Hyde, unless we kill him first!"

[Amethyst]

"So, we've got a vote for Lycanth, and a vote for Kamau... But who are we actually going to interrogate?"

[lazlo falconi]

"KAMAU! NO NEED TO INTERROGATE EVEN! IT WAS KAMAU! LET'S GET THIS MANIAC OUT OF HERE!"
