Pipe Edited for accuracy...

Wait? What? Murdered with a letter opener? I call shenannigans! I mean yer all just over-reacting she obviously died listening to Britney Spears... we ought to lynch her...

But if you insist that she was murdered here are my opinions on the public-

1) Thinlómien ~ Penguin-fisher - This chica is pretty cool. Shes always at my concerts with those weird guys in suits.

2) JennyHallu ~ Friendly neighborhood tax collector - This womans a cool
person herself except for when she tries to kill me over taxes. I mean that is so not cool dudette. And dearie, I ain't claiming nothing. I am the Messiah of Rock 'n' Roll! Wait... did I say kill?

3) Eonwe ~ Hermit - I've never seen her speak or heard her move... is she even alive? I mean watsupwiddat?!?

4) Wilwarin ~ Mathematics professor - Two plus two equals Thomas Jefferson is all I have to say.

5) Sleepy Ranger ~ Messiah of Rock 'n' Roll - This dude reeks of awesomeness, hes got a really cool band which is just full of high octane coolocity. I mean really, hes just awesome. This guys so hot that I hope you got sunglasses and hands off unless you want the burned off! Form a single line for autographs please.

6) Firefoot ~ Person who runs the stables - I've seen her around at my concerts, shes alright.

7) Roa_Aoife ~ Local protestor/ lobbyist - Shes been around at my last few
concerts, she even has an autographed photo of the band. This could only mean one thing... STALKER!

8) Valier ~ Dance instructor - Have you ever seen her tearing up the floor at one of my concerts? No? Well neither have I though I do believe she stole one of our surveillance cameras.

9) Nogrod ~ Pipe-weed grower - I like this guy... >_>

10) Elu Ancalime ~ Brass Musician - Pretty cool guy, played back-up for us once.

11) Gandalf_the _white ~ Magician - He opened our show once,
professional guy.

12) Folwren ~ Seamstress - She has way too much stress in her job, maybe she ought to kick back and come to one of my concerts yea. That would definately reduce the stress. Of course then she'd be a seam but thats beside the point.

13) Mithalwen ~ Baker/confectioner - She provides free cake for my concerts how could she be evil?

In the end I suggest we lynch Nogrod. Why? Because theres a chance he may offer free pipe-weed to be not killed.

Sorry. I must have overslept. And now hands full of work amidst this catastrophy! If I'm not into packing my newest brand immediately, they will dry out and I'll be in ruins. I shall come to discuss this terrible situation in a couple of hours time.

Still. My instinct would say, that someone with a rebellious or otherwise anti-social character could the one we are looking for. It's true, that evil may have a hideout anywhere. But as we have no other clues right now, I would like to know what f.ex. Eonwe or Roa have been doing last night.

Sorry, I'll have to go now. Coming back soon.

well nogrod you could say that but werewolves can be quiet and stay out of the way this can be just as good a tactic as being a loud mouth.

Since I'm your resident rock star heres a song in tribute of our dear Kitanna.

He slings his guitar off his back and strums it bit before starting a bit of tune. He then begins to play 'Gone Away' by 'The Offspring'. A tribute to a friend.

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal, it's so unfair

And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels, yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
To show that I still care


He then cuts off and begins to play at a softer pace, letting the song fade away.

Rest well, Kitanna our dear friend. My next concert is dedicated to Kitanna, five of the clock, Sunday evening. May our music soothe your soul Kitanna. And friends, may we bring down the swift justice of ROCK 'N' ROLL He strums a few chords upon the vile fiends who commited such an act.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Well, I won't be around again in time to vote, so the time has come for me to cast mine. I don't see anything particularly wolvish about any of you and today has thus far been completely useless, despite my efforts to avoid this.

Nothing personal. It's pretty much random.

But may I ask you all one more time... can we try to get some useful discussion out here during the remainder of the day? I don't care what we discuss - strategy, probably, as that's about the only thing there is - but try to discuss something, it makes the day at least somewhat more productive and informed. I tried to get you started but no one really responded.

Well. Back from work then. A couple of sacks, the finest quality.

But Firefoot is right. We should have a plan of some sorts. I would compare this to a game of chess: even a rudimentary and clumsy plan is better than just moving randomly around.

Of course one can always roll a dice to decide, but thats kind of stupid. Has someone been overtly nice or overtly aggressive? Or non-existent, invisible? I would start on those premises.

Ayone here, who has lived in village where this kind of things have happened before? First time in this village, and I've lived here all my life.

Sorry this will be quick because I must get back to my deliveries (ie the RL work connection is as slow as a lame tortoise). However I will be around later and up to the deadline so I do not have to rush my vote.

I am sorry that RL has made Firefoot have to rush hers though, since on the surface she does seem slightly more suspicious than anyone else - posting first always looks suspicious to me. Also she has posted a lot and slightly contradictorily - first saying that there is no plan then suggesting we limit the vote (which as I am sure our resident professor could confirm) is unlikely to improve our chances.

However she admitted this herself so it may be that she was merely trying to stimulate debate. I hope she won't take this too personally. I am very grateful for the high esteem that she holds those of us that work in plain trades (especially since our village is so highly populated with those who work in the more glamourous but less steady entertainments industry).

Jenny can confirm that my taxes were filed accurately but only just on time. I need the deadline to be really scary before I can face the tedious paperwork. We bakers find numberwork hard (our dozen is 13 afterall!) .. so I really will need my attempts at statistics checking.

Today is bound to be random. We can not expect our Seer to be explicit so early. I think it is far too early for a voting strategy. We may well not find a wolf today - statistically we are most likely to choose an innocent (fortunately a Gifted is the least probable) but today's discussion may well be useful later on.... so it provedfor one of my kin in a similarly afflicted village recently.

I hope there will be a lot more to go on on my return. I feel mean for concentrating on Firefoot now but her posts have given most scope for discussion.
