No, sir, the only thing I like on the dark side is chocolate. Maybe the abacus 'discreetly' tells you, TGWBSDoo, that you are on the dark side but then you would already know.

Some questions....Now I took chemistry awhile back and I recall not having studied poisons. Perhaps, things are different now. Hermiormegil, perhaps you could tell us if you smelled something untea-like. You seem to have much knowledge in this area, surprisingly for one so young, but maybe it is because I'm so old.

And maybe there was no blood on Miss Marpalwen from the knife wound because Miss Firelet's dress soaked it up. It was afterall scarlet in color if I remember correctly.

Anyway, much to think about....

Edit: and why would you pay for her funeral, Gil-Batlad? She was as wealthy as you or near enough. Is it guilty conciounce(sp?)?

Well you see with my particular professor I really must learn something of poisons now don't I?

However, you intricate knowledge of people character is a bit disconcerting to me. You seem to know many of us too well for my liking. As if you know who's guilty and who's innocent.

Agreed Mr Gil-man. Do you feel a twinge of guilt upon that canine conscience of yours? (if you are capable of feeling guilt)

That I don't, miss. But this statement of yours does seem suspicious to me. I was making some speculation, and did name 3 persons. That I would "know many of us too well" for your liking points to me hitting a nerve. Have I stumbled on the 3 werewolves? Highly unlikely, but that it has gotten under your skin seems to be most intriguing.

[the guy who be short]

I believe he meant he would pay with his life. And that does indeed seem to belie a guilty conscience... could The Abacus have misguided me?

Allow me to comprehend this fully. You believe Firefoot killed Mithalwen... then popped off home, brought along a dress, and soaked it in Mithalwen's blood? All the while managing to make no stains? And to have the dress dried by morning? And not smelling, if I recall correctly, of anything but mild elderberries? incredible feats indeed...

Chocolate? How unhealthy it is to indulge yourself such... and if you are willing to indulge yourself in expensive chocolate, who can vouch that you would not be willing to indulge your hunger with a far more expensive life?

Actually, I'd like some chocolate too. *rummages off to find food*

[Gil-Galad]

I feel as my civil duty to the village, besides her wealthy empire is crumbling down, my condolences more or less... i will use my great detective mind to figure this out...all i need now is a boy-wonder to join me in the bat-cave...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

You know, Gil... your alter-ego unnerves me... I would hate to find out that your bat-guise was actually a vampire in cahoots with the werewolves.

TGWBS, to expand on my previous comments of your post:

Your evidence is slim indeed, as it's only your own word, but I will take it at face value if you will see that I am also not Hunter, nor Ranger, nor Seer, nor um... that guy. I cannot guarantee my non-wolfishness, because howling laughter and wolfish grins are my forte. No... ignore me. I guess I just have a bad sense of humor.

Morm, that's an early accusation. I'm assuming you've got ulterior motives?

[Gil-Galad]

I agree with Fea there...getting ahead of yourself it seems yes...

[the guy who be short]

Oh, come now Fea. Accusations must be made. Gil-Galad will surely fend them off with humour or pointy sticks as is his wont.

I still look forward to hearing from:
Sophia the Thunder Mistress
Oddwen
Nilpaurion Felagund.

Though of course, other "loudmouths" are now under suspicion...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Oh, come now Fea. Accusations must be made. Gil-Galad will surely fend them off with humour or pointy sticks as is his wont.

Just as Morm will surely fend them off with "Duh. It's day one. It's not like I've got anyone better to accuse." Or perhaps some nice Latin with a wee bit of swish and/or flick.

Though of course, other "loudmouths" are now under suspicion...

Ah, suspicion. My life force... with it absent from my life... with the common idea that I am pure and innocent as the wind driven snow, I cannot go on. I thrive on suspicion. What would be life without random people wrongly accusing me of things I did not do?

[Gil-Galad]

Holy Twiddly-winks people! we shouldn't be going around accusing and defending ourself, we must all come together and figure this out, us spreading out in this strange time is not needed! I'm not sure who it is, i don't know if it is the beautiful Fea, or it could be Mormegil and all his sneaking around last night, i don't know, i'm not a doctor, i'm a rich guy, rich people get by life by buying stuff! none of this science or stuff...wait i do know science...oh i've lost all interest........oh yeah! we shouldn't be doing any lynchings at all! or stake-burnings! or hangings! or throwing-em-in-the-bog... unless its Mormegil then i don't really care...

[Kath]

Well Fea (and TGWBS whose post garnered that comment) this puts everyone in the same boat as the only evidence we have at the moment is a person's word.

Still, I find myself strangely suspicious of Mormegil for continuing with the questioning of Gil, though I'm not sure why.

Kath I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by my continued questioning of Gil? I merely questioned his desire to pay for the funeral, similar to Holybtlass, and left it at that then see him launch into a diatribe of wanting to kill me. It would seem that perhaps you both are working together in this. If not the behavior is suspicious.

I've always been very open and my main hope is that we take an honest look at everyone, including me. Gil-galad's attack on me seems rather clumsy and also to be a knee-jerk reaction.

As am I and also whoever else has been silent so far. Unfortunately I won't openly point fingers at them until they have defended themselves.

Yes, mormegil, are you afraid of Holbytlass learning something about you? Something dangerous and possibly deadly?

[Gil-Galad]

i knew it! besides hes not a werewolf...hes witch! burn him! he turned me into a newt!

[Firefoot]

burn him!

No, no, if anyone is to be killed, it must be with the rope - wolves must be hung. Though maybe a leadpipe would do the job quite nicely...

Gil-Galad, you said

I agree with Fea there...getting ahead of yourself it seems yes...

And then, only an hour later:

i knew it! besides hes not a werewolf...hes witch! burn him! he turned me into a newt!

Turning rather blood-thirsty all of a sudden, aren't you, Gil?
