Well, I am here. On one hand, I am quite happy that I don't have to catch up with too many posts, as I feared ("instant posts - five minutes and done!"), however, I must also say that the level of participation does not quite comfort me. But hopefully now something will start to happen, as it usually does in the late afternoon (my time) hours.

First, as for Rikae's death - I am actually quite "happy" for that (well, of course not but relatively speaking), in the sense that I do not have to worry whether she is guilty after all or not. All right, but now our numbers are thinning. What were the possible motives to kill her?

First: why her and not Mac: simple. I find it likely that the Wolves took Mac as being protected toNight, and instead of risking the loss of a kill, they decided to keep him for later and attack somebody else. Also, there's been some controversy (coming mainly from the dead one herself) around Mac being a Cobbler or whatnot, which may have played its role as well.

Which brings me to the second: why Rikae in particular. She looked mostly innocentish to people (although for example, like I said above, I was about to start to doubt about her a bit).

(Another thing I thought of, but it's a bit of a "wild guess", I think, is that it may have been aimed to further incriminate Mac, as to put him as if he were Ferny, being sort of "protected" by the Wolves from Rikae by killing her. But that sounds pretty weird.)

Third thing... I will take a look at her list of suspects from yesterDay, if the Wolves' motives could not have been influenced by that as well (personally I think they might have, quite likely. Let's see).

Back in a while.
