Evidence…for what exactly? You can't find anything.

[host2 spends some time pondering to himself, before taking a deep breath and letting out a long spiel about the identity of Hercules's killer.]

Wait, I have a theory. Maria clearly has issues, but... she might actually have a point. From what I observed, most people here seem to be concerned about not hammering the wrong person, which is a valid concern. Now, take a look at the two who voted for Maria so far: Glaysa and Scarlet. Glaysa also clearly has issues, but the evidence we found has ruled out the possibility of them being Herc's killer. Scarlet, on the other hand, is one of our possible suspects and she seems pretty adamant about persecuting Maria, which leaves me to believe the Scarlet might have been Hercules's killer.


Looking back, Scarlet did say that she heard footsteps and screaming while she was trying to sleep, and that could be true... up to a point, that is. Now that we are almost certain that Hercules killed Nikei, she may have been hearing Nikei's screams and Hercules's footsteps, and, presumably to avenge Nikei or our of self defense, went to the billiards room, grabbed a cue stick, and then tracked down and killed Hercules. I'm still suspicious about Maria, but Scarlet might be less innocent then she seems.

"Syo...Scyarlet, what do you have to syay about this?"

Glasya gives off a wide, angry grin.

[LavenderDream]

"I understand why you suspect me, but I have reasons for voting Maria."

Scarlet stares at host2.

"I agreed with Glasya because why would they lie? They have no reason to. And honestly, I have NO idea who else to trust."

[Dookie]

Votes:

Maria - Scarlet, Glasya

[PointMaid]

Actually... well, yes, let's analyze that further. Scarlet heard screams and footsteps? If that was true, where would she have to have been? Is it possible? Did anyone else hear screams? Or suspicious footsteps? Because I was trying to be alert and heard nothing.

[Kennifer]

I was in my bedroom, and I 'm pretty sure I slept through everything. I had a drink before bed, then another when I woke later in the night, and then another in the morning.

And another one now, which she takes another sip from.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

I didn't hear screams, unfortunately!!! So, we're voting Scarlett?!

[Cassie]

"Nyif what host2 says nyis correct..."

/vote Scarlet

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I haven't heard any noise last night either. And aren't you a little too eager to be voting for someone, cat? While we have nothing that points to you murdering either Nikei or Hercules, this could end up biting you in the end later on down the line.

[Caret]

I didn't here any screaming last night either, which makes even more suspicious of Scarlet.

[PointMaid]

I have to admit, if it's a lie, I wonder what it was supposed to accomplish. Taken at face value, it doesn't lead us to any alternate suspect. Unless it was a, "hey, I'm volunteering information, I heard something suspicious, it couldn't be me" sort of thing. I would like to hear what she has to say about it now.

[Kennifer]

I'd like to hear what she has to say too. I'm pretty sure it was either her or Maria, but I'd like to be sure which one.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Same with me. I hope you have a good explanation because it's starting to look bad for you.

[LavenderDream]

Upon hearing everyone's accusations, Scarlet begins to violently shake from the pressure. 
"Now, now everyone, I can't be so sure about what I heard. So let's settle down and go back to the basics. If Herc was killed using a billiard/cue stick, anyone that went in that room is a suspect. We CANNOT take anyone's account 100% into question because anyone of us could be lying."

[PointMaid]

Frankie comes nearer, watching her closely, and sitting down on the arm of a nearby chair, crossing her legs. Her red eyes are narrowed at Scarlet.

You can't be sure what you heard, now?

And you're saying we can't take anyone's tale completely at face value. Which is true enough. But we have to rely on something. I tend to think that's multiple people's corroboration and what story fits together. If we can't believe anything, the killer is likely to get away, because we might well not have enough evidence otherwise.

Right now, for me, that story is that... you are the killer of that Frenchman who claimed to be able to resurrect the dead.

/vote Scarlet

[Kennifer]

So did you hear screaming and footsteps or not?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Tsk, tsk, tsk. You can't even keep your story straight? I must say that this isn't looking good for you. Do you really think it's Maria or were you just simply trying to pawn off that girl's own eagerness onto us just to shake us off your trail?

[Dookie]

[Caret]

I'm done with your inconsistent narrative. It's time for you to face justice, Scarlet.

/vote Scarlet

[Kennifer]

You almost had me fooled. Good thing I had a lot to drink! And hopefully we're right about this...

/vote Scarlet

[PointMaid]

Yeah, I hope so. I know it seems to line up... but that doesn't always mean it does.
