*dries tears* Oh, Phantom, my love...You've had a hero's death, but I'll miss you...and our... walks down by the beach... *blows nose*

To lose first one's beloved grandfather, to find one's father a werewolf, and then to lose one's only love is no easy thing... Mother and I must stick together now, I feel.

Anyway...

I must say that Alcarillo is looking pretty darn suspicious to me. I was willing to believe his defensiveness yesterday as an honest innocent villager attempting to deal with suspicion, but now I'm not so sure. His post (which is in-character) contrasts sharply with, let's say Diamond's post just now. Both are in character, but I feel like Alcarillo's is much more the typical "I'm an evil beastie trying to make cover" than Diamond-mum's is.

For some reason, prolonged wailing on and on really hits a nerve in me, which I'm sure is not entirely reasonable. But there it is. At least Diamond's post didn't feel like it was lacking in substance. Alcarillo provides no explanation for this totally in character wailing.
