Having listened quietly to the accusations and discussions flying about, Shasta felt it was time to put in his say. He tossed a rock into the fire to gain everyone's attention.
"First of all, I'd like to address the following."

"Calm, you two... this early on, I doubt there's much of anything in the way of evidence to go on. There's no real point in accusing each other when there's no proof of guilt or innocence whatsoever."

I think accusations reveal the character of a person, and I find accusations to be about as helpful as anything (besides blind luck) on Day 1. I find accusations to be a good thing, so I think it's awkward Shastani, you are telling us to not do it.

"I was merely stating that without any evidence, an execution would be a shot in the dark. We have a chance of either executing an important innocent, such as someone who could tell who the vampires are, or protect from them, or having them reveal their role in order NOT to be executed, and then becoming a prime target for the vampires. The vampires already have a free kill tonight, and the chances of hitting a vampire during a first-day execution is miniscule, to say the least. I see no reason to do the vampires' work for them by killing off an innocent when we have nearly no chance of hitting a vampire."
He looked meditatively into the fire, then went on.
"Also,
Gil seems suspicious to me... Mostly, it's his blatant misreading of
Rikae's bantering accusations. It was perfectly obvious to me, at least, that it was only a joke... He does seem, at first glance, to be trying to snare a scapegoat."
