[Lycanth]

Lycanth just glared. "Yeah, they'd see their friends die because we're just standing around with our thumbs up our asses instead of trying to kill the ones killing us. We can still gather evidence and stay together while trying to kill the killers."

[Hyperlisk]

Hyperlisk just stared back until retreating towards his room as Lycanth's obsession with killing began to make him uneasy.

[Lycanth]

"Let me explain it this way. Let's say that we wait a day to collect evidence. Doing so would allow the killers one free kill, plus the kill of that night. Then let's say we kill Genifur right now, one of the two people we have some level of suspicion is a killer. We end up with one more person dead, plus the kill that night. HOWEVER, if we give the murderers a free kill to collect evidence, there is a 100% chance they'll kill an innocent, whereas if we kill someone right now, there is a chance we will not kill an innocent. Plus we can still gather evidence after we do, in addition to the fact that killing them gives us new information, and if we kill Genifur and she is not a killer, that means Kamau is most likely not a killer. If Genifur is a killer, the hunt is already over. We can move on from this bullshit."

[Hyperlisk]

[You know I'm totally not in the room, right?]

[Lycanth]

((Yeah, I'm still addressing the group though.))

[Stars]

((Bleh, my manager called me while I was still in bed and told me I needed to come in to work this morning since the scheduled person was sick, otherwise I'd have posted sooner.))

All the talk of getting rid of people who might be murderers was making Stars uneasy again. Unable to take any more of it, he spoke up, "I don't think we should throw anyone out right now; it would be terrible if we killed someone innocent by mistake. I'm in favor of staying in one group tonight with at least three people at a time staying awake to keep watch, maybe even more." He looked down the hallway that Fillmore and Jody had left through. "And regardless of whether he's guilty or innocent, I don't think Fillmore should be left on his own, especially with a knife..."

[Lycanth]

"Fine, but when we're short one more person with nothing to show for it, don't point the finger at me. I tried to stop this."

[Stars]

Sapsuker got up groggily and walked out of his room.

"Heeeeeeeeeey guys," he yawned loudly. "What's u---HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!?"

He looked around, quite astounded by the sight before him. "Right, so, well. What's going on? Can someone explain any of this to me?"

[Odon]

Odon came screaming into the room just as maple asked his question.
"OHMEG!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. "OKAYSOLIKEALLTHECOUNCILOURSDIEDANDONLYTHESTUDENTSARELEFTALIVEANDONEOFUSAREC

Odon huffed and puffed looking around the room.
"Oh. . and I'm agreeing that Gennifur is an extremely likely suspect. She needs to be cross examined."
Another gasp of air. "And I've found that Kamau is trying -too- hard to act innocent. Might want to look into that."
He looked around wide eyed, then realized what he'd just said.
"OHHHHHMEEEEEGAAWWWD I'M GONNNA DIIIIIIIIEEE!"
Odon dashed off again, tears streaming from his eyes.

Vote : Gennifur

[eyre]

Eyre shifted a bit. His expression was entirely nuetral.

"I'm not exactly saying that we sit here and do nothing. Of course something has to be done; we don't want to just get killed off. I'd just rather we all not make decisions that hurt more people than we need to hurt. In the end it's going to be our numbers that decide whether or not some of us survive. I'd rather that number be everyone here minus the killer."

[Lycanth]

"I'm sure Mindfizzle wanted the same thing."

[Amethyst]

((Only one trial per day, please. :p))

The tension had grown thick, and it began to undermine all bonds between the students. Anger and fear were high on the air. Mr. Bear stepped up again to regain control of the slowly thinning numbers.
"Everybody! Settle down. It's probably be best that we keep ourselves together for the night. Let's just keep settled. People will be free to sleep in whatever groups they choose- I no longer have the wisdom nor the authority to decide or enforce the sleeping arrangements here. But we should rest ourselves quickly."
((This is winding down the day. Work out where you snooze. Default will be the assigned beds))

[BottomGuy]

“Say we go with your idea to kill someone every day in hopes of stopping the murders. Then somewhere down the road someone else accuses you or we find insignificant evidence against you. That would call for us to kill you and something tells me that that idea would not stand very well with you. It’s not going to seem like such a great idea when your head is on the chopping block.”

“Besides that, you talk like the murderer is on some sort of quota. I didn’t know that killing someone worked off a clock. For all we know no one else will be murdered or the killer will run in here with a bomb and kill us all at once. I think our best bet is to try and stick together like we’ve been saying all along and don’t leave any opportunities for something else to happen.”

“So yeah, I’m going to have to agree with Stars on this one.” BG walked over to stand next to Stars that he was casting his lot with him. “If we can get the vast of majority of us to stay together tonight and then keep watch in groups, there won’t be any time we aren’t protected. If the murderer tries to pull something still we’d have three or four awake and hopefully able to stop them or identify them.”

[Arutha]

"I'm with BG and Stars on this one i say we keep together and keep watch in groups of at no less than three and no more than four" Arutha stated as he sauntered over to BG and Stars

[Hyperlisk]

"I'm with them on this too..." said Hyperlisk, following Arutha.

[Amethyst]

With the students now organized as they pleased, the last lights of the Resort dimmed, and howling wind lulled them to sleep...

[Second Night]

However, one would not sleep, ever again. His tortured cries and screams of madness and insanity beckoned him through the halls of the Snowside Resort, now a prison to the sheepish students.
He screamed, and he ran, trying to escape nightmares that were twising themselves into more of a reality with each passing twilight.

And so he ran. Around the basement, Odon leaped, and dashed to and from, failing to calm himself. And with a mighty distressed panic he found himself urged to the Subzero containment room. The chilled air puffed out of the room, the door propped open by a yard stick that wedged itself towards the bottom of the steel door frame. Frost crept forth, wrought by the frigid icy cylinder samples that had been stolen from the bowels of the glacier below.

He the distressed was lost, however, as he ran unknowingly about, his leg caught on the yard stick, and he was flung forward, crashing into a metal shelf. They yard stick flew, with his own momentum over him, and the force of his own weight against the shelf slighted a tremor, disrupting the balance of the samples. Glass crashed and ice older than most buildings of the world shattered around him, though he was spared, in his panic, coiled into a ball, only scrapes befelled him.


However, one floor above, Kamau had unknowingly stepped into a different trap, as he shifted under the covers, snuggling to the electric blanket, and fearing the night to come. Such a fear proved baseless, as he would not see the rest of that night. The pressure pad hidden underneath his mattress activated with his weight. The trigger snapped, and a string secretly traced around his bed pulled taut. Tied to the base of the elegant stone-carved lamp that rested on his night stand, the string pulled, and the lamp gave, tipped over on to his face, and was stuck there by the tension of the string, wrapped around his matress, binding it, and the lamp together, sandwhiching Kamau in between. The base of the lamp fell against Kamau's mouth as he gasped in astonishment, and he was left immobile. The lit lamp, and the electric blanket, oddly set to the highest power, slowly cooked Kamau as he struggled against the wire wound around his bed. Charged by the heat of the electrics tied to him, his body would not survive the night.

Meanwhile, below, though Odon had survived the tremor of the shelf of ice, the yard stick no longer held open the door of the Subzero containment room. As he hid from the shards, the metal door slid shut, and locked quietly from the outside. Trapped in below zero temperature, he too, would perish before the night's end.

One by fire, one by ice, they slowly faded.

[Jody]

Jody wakes up next to a still Lazlo. Not sure if someone did him off during the night, she immediately checks his pulse. Feeling a steady thump, she sighs in relief.

Slipping out of bed, Jody walks to the door and peeks out. Not seeing anyone in the hallway yet, she steps out of her room and looks around. Knocking on the doors around her (101, 102, 104, and 105) she waits anxiously to see how many of her classmates will wake up this morning.

[lazlo falconi]

Fillmore, who's name is definitely not Lazlo, awoke with a start, seeing Jody gone from their bed, he assumed the worst. He grabbed his knife from under his pillow and leaped out the door, only to find her knocking on the doors around their room. "Jody what are you doing? The killer might still be out! Get back here!" He motioned for her to come toward him, but he went to her anyway. "Is everyone still alive?"
