Dear Readers of the Wasted Times,

My apolgies for taking so long to getting back to you. The great danger of issuing a press statement is that the time of its release is dependent on the publication's going to press.

First of all, I'd like to thank those who defended me in my absence during the latter half of Day 1 of this terrible tragedy, and thus far in Day 2. I'd like to state that, while I cannot provide conclusive evidence that would not be struck down as hearsay, I was, in fact, doing as Eomer said, and really just striking out to get the pot stirring and to fulfill my civic duty before being called away for an unavoidable emergency.

At that point in Day 1, it was impossible to tell from the scant evidence who the killers were. Without a second crime or third crime to determine a pattern, and without a local law enforcement to gather clues, our only recourse for the gathering of information that would lead to a conviction was to poke and prod people into talking- and possibly revealing more than they ought.

Unfortunately, this did not happen, and I mourn the death of Shelob, my fellow common villager.

However, having managed just now to review the debates of those trying to solve the mystery, I have to wonder just who is guilty.

Boromir, and Eomer are temporarily granted indulgences on my part, in their defence of me, and in that they seem to be more cautious in their voting- while still seeking the truth- which is as it should be.

Saucepan Man, however, seems too pushy in his attempts to seek the guilty. And I do not absolve him of guilt in my own mind, but I will keep him on my personal suspect list.

Azaelia is my true fear at the moment. She says enough to be considered active, but lets the debates flow mostly without her input. Seems werewolfish to me...

I am very suspicious of Perky as well, but for now, I think it best that I vote:

++Azaelia of Willowbottom
