Bittersweet Candy Bowl

/Amarilla arrives at the scene of murder. Seeing the slashed corpse, she turns away quickly. Tears begin swimming in her eyes…

Stasha too? The poor girl! And what a gruesome way to die…

She shakes the funk off after a while, and approaches Mitchell.

I need to know what was in that notebook.

/

Its Stasha’s notebook. From the look of it, somebody knew too much.

(If anyone decides to search the body at some point, her M1911 will be found on her person, loaded and ready, but unfired.)

But what does it say?

Its… hard to read. It looks like she suspected Abram, but we can’t be sure.

(I have to paste her note into Opera when I get home.)

*Inspects the notebook.* Or it could be talking about a frame, maybe?

*Turns around in shock*
She what!?
Give me the damned book I need to see this.

(Had risen after the commotion and followed Aiken and the others to the body.) Stasha…(Looks away disgusted&hellip (We need to end this, before anyone else dies.) (Goes over and reads the notebook….) It looks like she believed Abram was the murderer…(Cocks Winchester and aims it at him.) I don’t think you were simply sleeping in your tent all this time, explain yourself!

takes out knife and stands besides Suellen

“you heard her! Talk!”

Yeah, it could. I’m not pointing fingers. (Lol I always default to the non-accusitory suspicion xD)

*While the rest of the group is inspecting the note, Davion continues checking the body*
Hmm, what is this.
*He finds the loaded but unfired pistol*
Hey guys check this out!

*moves between Abram and the pair of Suellen and Aiken, looking sternly at the latter two*

Hold on, will everyone just hold on!!? Why do you think she was accusing Abram?! And what did you find Davion?

I knew it was Abram all along, I told you all. *Paolo turns to Davion, but keeps an eye on Abram* What is it Davion, what’d ya find?

Its her pistol, and it still has a full clip, which means she didn’t have time to defend herself or that she trusted the killer.

What the hell are you doing pointing that thing at me!?
You think I’d do something as sick as this, just because I’m in it for the money, as this bloody diary says!?
I’d never do something so brutal to a women anyway.
Now put down your god-damned weapons.

looks at Amarilla
“sorry if you dont approve, if i dont at least scare him a little bit, my dear Suellen may be tempted to end any possibility that he may be the murderer, if i can scare him down at least then she might disarm”

looks at Suellen

“he isnt going anywhere i think you can put the pistol away now your ladyship dear”

The tranq dart proves that…will everyone stop accusing Abram! We don’t know if it’s him or not!

Well they trust you Abram, they probably think you’d never do anything brutal either. You could get near them, and kill them before they could get off a shot.

Will everyone stop already?! We have no proof that he did this!

She wouldn’t have been able to draw her pistol if she was tranq’d! That’s obvious!

*throws an acid look at Paolo as well*

Not to mention that he was the first to spot the murder.

keeps the kinfe out casting glances at the crowd around them

“tranq meeans it was probably done from a distance and the stab wound were to finish the job and were probably also meant as a personal insult, so many wounds”

The only thing you guys are going on is a few words from a notebook from a girl who was trying to solve this case fueled by anger! Now everyone just calm down and let’s figure this out!

Remember that she could’ve written about someone framing Abram! So SHUT UP!!!!! *Mitchell finally snaps, but before he can say more, he forces himself to calm down, for Sadae’s sake.*

sniffs the air

“alchohol”

…well, that says a lot. …was Tasya a drinker? (Sorry if I misspell the name.)

Is there anything else on or around the body? *Investigates* (Come on VoG, do I find anything?)

I know who did this… But I scarcely overheard Zeke saying, before he left on that fateful trip, that it would be dangerous to reveal it. And there might even be an accomplice… I can’t trust them with this information right now. I’ll just have to wait for a chance…

(We need more clues!)

Will you all just stop blaming me and think for a second!
The only thing you have against me is some scraps in her notes and the fact I’m middle-class, So I’m basically no different from some of you too.
I’m the only person who’s kept a level head this whole time and now I’ve started actually being open to someone for once in my life this whole thing ends up being my fault.

(Wasn’t the book burned?)

(The smell seems to be coming from the body, as if it was poured on her, nothing physical is found)

I think the killer was planning on burning the body but was stopped mid action. But by what? And they were able to burn the book, though.

Maybe the killer was in the process of burning, when Abram and Daffodil came along.

If that’s so, Abram couldn’t be the killer!

Neither could Daffodil, but then who does that leave us with?

It could be anyone.

(the body does not look fresh, the blood has had time to clot, the alcohol smell seems more fresh, but still is not overly recent)

(Well that trumps my theory then)

Could it be that she’s been dead for a while? So none of us are clear of this crime…

Hmm yeah you are right, well then who was the person who carried liquor with them?

(Phone dying, have to go.)

*Shakes head* Me and Zeke didn’t bring any with us…

As long as noone blames me or Ms. Petit then I’m happy.
But we still do need to place blame on someone so we should see if there are any other clues left on the body.
I don’t think alcohol is enough to blame someone since practically everyone shared some the first night here so everyone could easily of had some with them during the murder.

“If the alchohol new then what reason could they have for pouring it on someone whos already been dead for hours or so, killed them earlier and had to leave maybe, came back to finisih the job, but these cuts so many, meant for us to see”

Still, who brought some with them?

Find maybe, but not see. I think they intended to burn the body too.

(Aww dangit gotta go into autoplay now. Try and clear my case while I’m gone or I’ll have to kill you all.
…
Wait.
Uhhh pretend I never said that.)
