Durelin, your fangs are bared during all of your smiles.

What smiles? I mean, my goodness, why would I smile at you, Fea. Particularly since I think, in thees case, a smile might get me gooted in the night. I keep out of the open, keep my leeps sealed, and thus I plan to avoid any harm to my person that might come from all zis chaos. I have no reason to wrongly accuse anyone, as I have no reeckoning as to who the blim should lie on, and have no reason to leeft any blame from myself. I shall not hide beehind accuzations.

So, I will look around at what I zee, and take my time in reazoning who might be the cause of zuch horrific deedz as wee have weetnissed in poo-er Mithalwen's death. I eentend to colleect evidence and follow thees case as quietly as I can, waiting for the culprits to sleep, just as I would stealthily track down a joowel theeef...though of course in theeze ceercumztances, the stakes are much higher than seemple joowels.

At thees point, there ees little evidence except in what we have seen in the behavior of all of us, including myself. The most avidly defensive and accusative are of course the first to look at. Only the guilty mind (or someone with an inferiority complex) would feel the need to immediately lash out with brash words. A man who carries a bim will be zee most afraid, as only he knows he carries it!

And so, I suggest we all keep our eye on the guy who be short and Gil-galad...zee former has been most avidly accusing people at random, and did so right of zee boot, while zee latter has been very defensive. Particularly we must keep our eyes and ears on the guy who be short, with all his talk of food and eating and being hungry. Who else would be so hungry, but a hungry wolf? Also hunting for food, as a wolf does, even (and perhaps especially), in the eyes of death! How do I manage to come to such conclusions, you ask? Well, eet wasn't eazy...

Of course, it is natural to not trust the words of anyone, perhaps especially myself because of my absence earlier. But I must say...is it not acceptable for someone to be rudely torn away from their duties as an honorable citizen of this village, concerned with its well-being, due to an unfortunate relation's need of their aid? A young boy who is by blood my brother is indeed a sickly fellow. Sick in the mind, and in need of almost constant watch. Those who usually watch over him went on a brief holiday earlier, and it was begged of me to take over their duties. Feeling it right, I did so, while taking the time that was quiet to think over theese ghastly circumstances...

And now, I have said perhaps too much; more than all of you would have liked to heard. I do not wish to bore anyone, but I think some words that did not include 'lynching' or 'hanging' or 'stabbing' (as I am not such a brute as to use them) would be a relief.

A death, in our peaceful little Mawlin? A death seemingly not of natural causes?
*with a fist shaking to the sky* Los Loup Garouuuuuuuuu!

And Mormegil, a monkey seeming to morph into a little girl?!?!?

Such goings on!

Holbytlass - Nothing definite.

Mormegil - His/Her profession of prior knowledge of mysterious chemicals is a shock to us all, I do think. What this will portend I don't know.

The guy who be short - Hum, hum, hum...he probably would have eaten our dear Mithalwen, so I don't really think so yet.

Gil-Galad - Whoa, dude, settle down. Believe me, being too vocal is a terrible stnank.

Orominuialwen - Hasn't shown up on the radar yet.

Firefoot - It could very well have been Miss Firefoot in the Parlor with the Rope. And the Knife.

Durelin - Few of my suspicions are belong to you.

Kitanna - Hmm...nothing yet.

Nilpaurion "I-Take-Immense-Pleasure-In-Professing-Hairy-Lies" Felagund - My incredibly..."done by me" suspicious feelings have yet to be stimulated.

Feanor of the Peredhil - I'm not so suspicious of her yet.

This, doubtless, will change as time goes by.

The injustice around here is killing me and my Tan-Line!

mormegil · 07-03-2005, 09:08 PM

I myself find it interesting that Gil attacks me and Kath supports him. I say it's suspicious activity and Kath goes suddenly silent. Seemingly attempting to be forgotten and severe her overt ties with her lackey Gil-galad. I always get dubious of someone who is so certain in their support (defense or offense) at this early stage. Kath's sudden silence is interesting. It might not mean anything for certain but it's to be watched and that's for certain.

Sidenote: Remember we are not meant to take the characterisations, given us by our mod, to influence our judgement. I early jested mildly with TGWBS, who understood it to my understanding, but to have serious doubt of somebody based on that is another. Be mindful that this not influence us overly much, okay.

Holbytlass · 07-03-2005, 10:58 PM

It has almost been 12 hours since Miss Marpelwen has ceased. Not on her own accord. And all have spoken except Sophia and Nilp, very puzzling. Maybe not enough time. I shall leave you all for about 8 hours or so.
Just one more thing, Oddwen, I am definite nothing of the lupine persuasion.

mormegil · 07-03-2005, 11:44 PM

Due to RL demands (4th of July and all) I will need to either vote now or not at all. I would feel that it would be too great of a knee-jerk reaction of me to vote for old Gil. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and presume him an inexperienced innocent who is as distraught as all of us innocents our at Mithawen's death. However I do find it disconcerting how willing Kath was to jump on that bandwagon and then dissapear after I mention the connection.

My current guess is that either Gil-galad is innocent and Kath is a wolf piggy-backing on an innocent or that they are both wolves with a clumsy strategy. I fully realize the ramifications of voting early but I feel that either now or never and I feel it my duty to cast my best vote albeit one with little evidence. But alas this is our current lot--little to no evidence. I feel though that Kath has the most suspicious move of the day. For that I vote

++KATH

If I am wrong I am sorry. I'm going on the best information I have and today we have a slim chance of bagging a wolf but perhaps Kath's behavior upped the odds in our favor a bit.

Oro, you are a wolf. Do not try to deny it.

But why me, my dear Madam? My middle name may be Death (although it rhymes with teeth), but that does not make me a wolf. I was called away by family matters, and did not have time to comment. I had to entertain my brother, the Duke of Denver, this evening, and so have only just sped back to our village in Mrs. Mertle. No, my dear lady, I Oromin Wimsey am no lupine. I am certainly curious to discover the reasoning behind your blind and seemingly pointless accusation of me.
