#Lynch Adon237
"Sorry, but as much as I'd like to believe you, Ms. Margarves has a point." Maria looks a little glum at first, but then confident this is the best course of action.

Ms. Lee
I turn to Ms. Margraves with a look of shock on my face. "My word! 50% chance of being false? Ms. Starmoon actually said that?"

Ms. Lee
I furrow my brow as I try to remember the day's events. "...yes, I do Ms. Starmoon mentioning something along those lines. This 'half-chance' definitely seems like a convenient excuse for an incorrect accusation. Added to the fact that this is a power that can only be used during daytime, and I can't help but find Ms. Starmoon's little ruse quite ridiculous."

If this is all Ms Starmoon has as a defence, then :

Fine, you can proceed to lynch me, but I will turn up as town, I promise.
Once you learn that townies, get rid of Margraves or Cinati.

It seems like someone gets a little bored and decides to accuse someone, and everyone realizes this is not going to go anywhere and hops the lynch-train.

I mean doesn't a 100% chance of getting an accurate answer sound like a game breaking power? Not balanced, not fair?

Not to mention you are believing someone who has not spoke much at all in this mystery, how can you guarantee that Ms. Margraves isn't trying to mislead you?

100% chance yes, but how about 75% (though for a one time power, how much difference would that make..?)? Anyways, you do sound convincing, so :
#Cancel, for now.
I watch as the suspects mull around the table area, arguing with each other about whether or not this or that is suspicious or noteworthy. It seems rather petty to me as I read through the Autopsy reports of the first victim. An officer brought them in not to long ago.

From the looks of it he definitely died from head injury. A cracked skull; blunt force trauma to the back of the head; brain haemorrhage. At least it was a relatively quick death, unlike those of Mr Fevell and Mr Simmons.

I read through the preliminary report slowly. Both bled out from knife wounds. Mr Fevell took longer to die than Mr Simmons, though not by much. From the looks of things Simmons attacked Fevell and overpowered the man, then fell back and accidentally cut his own throat.

A throat clears next to me and I turn to see Lady Cinattia standing nearby. She seems somewhat fragile in appearance, almost tottering on her feet. Terrified for her, I grab a chair and usher her into it.

She sits and grabs her head, moaning as she does so. Asking what seems to be the matter, I get nothing but groans; suddenly she falls forward and I dive to catch her. From the looks of things she's fainted. I call Jacobs over to assist and he helps me lay her flat.

Miss Sara runs to the door, begging assistance. One of the guards pops his head in and I'll have to scold him about that later, but I tell him to get the Medical Officer in here now.

The rest of the suspects just watch in silence.



A tense hour passes while we wait to hear the verdict. Somewhere along the way I had forgotten just how aged the Lady Cinatti was and began treating her the same way I'd treat the younger members of the group.

A knock on the door alerts us and I head to see what's up. One of the nurses is there with a sheaf of paper and the bad news.

Lady Cinatti will require constant supervision and medical attention. Apparently the blow she sustained the other night had caused some internal haemorrhaging and she slipped into a coma. They're worried about her pulling through.

The papers are details of her stay in the Sick-bay on various days through-out the trip. One of these times shows that she visited around 2:00PM the day of the murder and didn't leave until 2:33PM. Apparently the paperwork went missing for a few days and only just turned up, giving the old Lady an alibi for the murder.
And seeing that she was gambling with Lord Margraves all night, she also has an alibi for last nights murders.

Well, I guess that's one less suspect to worry about. I thank the nurse, give her back her papers (bar the relevant one) and head back into the room to share the news.

CAVE_DOG_IS_BACK/Lady Cinatti, Town, has been cleared of the crimes!

(Just so you know, Cave has lost access to his internet so can no longer play. He held out as long as he could, though. Kudos, Cave!)

With 9 alive it takes 5 to lynch. Day Phase will end in 5 hours.
An EVENT is on the horizon, barring any incident.
"Ms. Cinatti!" Maria yelps shocked! Why are all of the people she's beginning to trust here always leave? She sighs loudly and looks at the remaining suspects. Obviously the boy could have no malicious intent for anyone. Ms. Margarves was a bit of a gray are for Maria seeing as how she rarely said anything helpful - much like the butler and Jane who she was opposed against. Also, wasn't a guilty butler a staple of mystery fictions? Hm. "Well, while we're at this grey area in voting... I may as well inform you all of what I was doing last night.
I took a bathroom break before sleeping and snooped a teensy bit - hearing a noise on the roof. Then, figuring it could be a rat, went back to my bedroom and talked with my sis until drifting off- waking up in the morning to a scream."

Miss Jane StarmoonI look around the room, with more people arriving, I begin to loathe my job. I walk onto the stage, and behind a curtain. I trip over a wooden object, and stand up and begin to assemble things for my upcoming Psychic Show.


Lyle Jives, Chief Steward
Friends, I do not believe Miss Jane is lying! Indeed, as I have quoted above, she mentioned of a Psychic Show that she was hosting, far before she claimed out loud. I believe that her power is correct, because it seems to specific to be made up. Indeed, a 50% chance of correctness is still valuable, since if we ask if a person is the killer, then we can get a 50/50 chance on one of us being the killer. And that is a better chance then we have right now.

Now think. The evidences must point to someone, right? The evidence laid out before us is not meaningless, and without reason? We have to re-evaluate all the evidence we have before us and come to a valuable conclusion, I suggest. I am currently re-reading over the evidence right now, and I suggest we all do this so we can eliminate this killer once and for all!
Lyle Jives, Chief Steward
Let us re-evaluate the evidences. The body was the body of Mr. Ryan Coldidge found between the stage and the bar at approximately 2:40PM. The deceased (Ryan Coldidge), had much to do with drug-dealing and slave-running trades, all of his charges dropped. He was a criminal with the facade of a nice guy, who had to deal with the business of a kidnapped child.

I in fact believe this child could be Mr. Michael Simmons here, based on the flavour text. I also don't believe that Michael is the killer, due to his young nature and also the fact that he would not kill his own father. We know that the killer killed both Mr. Simmons and Mr. Fevell because the diver's knife that killed both of them was found in Fevell's hand.

Last night we saw that Fevell got very irritated at Essex the slaveowner, and proceeded to attempt a fistfight with him. This is a flavour EVENT that should not be ignored, because clearly it did not happen without purpose. My theory is that Fevell was attracted to the young slaves, and if anyone would threaten them, then he would die in place of them. Call it a day-doctor of sorts. However, my theory is still unlikely, and if anyone has anything to explain last night, then that would be appreciated.

Now about the oparium. Oparium is a drug that can be taken intravenously (via IV), and needles were found in Craig Harver's room. Indeed, Harver himself has admitted to using the drugs. The oparium was found at the site of Cinatti's head-bashing, which is now confirmed to be true, since Cinatti has been confirmed innocent. Therefore, we can conclude that the drugs caused Craig to hit Cinatti over the head. However, the drug causes hallucinations, therefore Craig must not have been in his right mind when he hit Cinatti. I don't believe that Craig is the killer, but I do believe that he is connected with the cartel in some way or the other.

*gasps*
Lyle Jives, Chief Steward
In conclusion, I have narrowed it down to Mr. Margraves, Mrs. Margraves, Ms. Lee, and the slave sisters.

I am of the belief that the slave sisters only exist to serve the slave master, and do not have powers of their own. Therefore that leaves Mr. Margraves, Mrs. Margraves, and Ms. Lee.

I am afraid that <<Mr. Margraves has only spoken about 5 lines throughout our whole trip>>, so that is a definite possibility. Indeed, if someone as inactive as this was a townsperson, then they would be thrown off this boat straight away, like Miss Cinatti ((by this is mean modkilled)).

So upon that note, I address Ms. Lee. I believe you are town by what you have said on this ship, but if it is not harmful to the crew onboard, could you please out the info about your powers? Because it would be very pleasant if you do.
I am of the belief that the slave sisters only exist to serve the slave master

"You're quite the charmer, Jives. Regardless of your very...insensitive wording, I am wondering why the word "bashing" has come up so many times in different situations. Huh. "
Lyle Jives, Chief Steward
I apologize, my dear Maria. I only assumed... well, this is awkward. Do you have any powers that are to speak of?
Maria Eddington
"I'm sorry, but I will not be revealing that. We aren't quite close enough to end-game situation, Jives. "
Lyle Jives, Chief Steward
Fair enough. Let me ask you, why are you voting for Miss Jane? She hinted on her psychic abilities in her first ever post, and psychic abilities can not exactly be used for harm, can they? Her claim was hinted at in that she was to host a Psychic Show. I'm not one to judge, but I think a few people were quite eager to get rid of Miss Jane today as well.
"I am honestly not sure what to think of Jane, so I voted to lynch her for an answer. Probably not the brightest thing I've ever done. But, Ms. Margarves does have a point. Several to be exact. Besides, I'd probably vote for you if not for Jane and you honestly look very innocent. Aside from a few comments that I can't quite remember - many of my doubts of you come form you thinking everyone is innocent. Also, you have been quite rude throughout the entirety of this all - do not pull the "I must be polite" line, kindly. Of course, I mean not to anger you, I am simply speaking my mind in an attempt to piece together who could be the killer. Also:
#Cancel
I know the killer is a man, why am I voting for Jane? That was stupid of me as well. I apologize sincerely."

I would still like to ask the spirits : "Is Mr Lee the murderder?" (I suppose I would take a yes as an encouragement in that direction).
