Tol-in-Gaurhoth LXIII: The Cottage of Lost Play

[Nerwen]

I return from my room, where I have been making a futile attempt to fix my camera.

"I just don't understand it, " I say, more to myself than anyone else. "There appears to be no physical reason whatever for it not to work. And what a time for it to die on me! I mean, someone has to document this– wait, what have you done?" I exclaim as I see, or rather fail to see, the body. "You idiots! Don't you know you're not supposed to tamper with the evidence in a murder case? Who did this?"

The fact is, it doesn't really matter. It's probable that none of us are going to escape before this finishes, and by then we'll either know who "killed" her or be dead ourselves in which case knowing won't help us any more, and there will be no-one to alert the police. None of us have any forensics stuff and none of us can contact the outside world, so it's useless to just leave the body there to rot.

Sorry for that, but it just had to be said...

Hi everybody, glad to see you're with us. Nerwen, the idiots were Fea and my humble self. Probably not the most well-considered thing to do, but I was sort of on autopilot this morning - acting on gut-impulses, as Fea put it, not really thinking everything through. Boro's early suspicion of me because of my zeal in cleaning up wasn't quite unearned, though a little bit sudden.
I haven't really digested the conversation of the last couple of hours yet (having nodded through most of it), and I'm reluctant to draw any conclusions from people's behaviour in the first hours of the morning, when the shock and confusion were still fresh. Here's some of what I remember, though:
Fea - one of the first to speak up; practical, but a little bit self-absorbed;
Inzil - cool and determined to search and destroy the werewolves;
autume - quiet, shocked, but eager to help;
Shasta - disappeared quickly, for what may be a good reason;
Eönwe - calm and collected, told us not to turn on each other, then suspected Shasta;
Boro - struck me as somewhat erratic, don't really know what to make of him (looks like this is mutual), but not what I would call suspicious at this stage;
Lalaith - reasonable, trying to get some sense into the rest of us;
Nogrod - the voice of reason, trying to organize us into following some meditated course of action;
McCaber - offers some contributions to discussion, not enough to help me form an image of him;
Rikae - refuses to cooperate with that woman's sick fantasy, advocates rebelling against the rules, suggests applying the chainsaw to the door (which chainsaw, by the way? there wasn't one lying around this morning, was there?);
Nerwen - late to show up, nothing substantial yet.
Nessa - no input yet.
Don't really know what to make of all this.

By the way, Fea -

On this note: my sole purpose in werewolf games is to entertain my mod or moddess.

I wish I knew what you're talking about! Sounds as if you had experience in matters like this...?
