If anything, the most difficult part seems to be coordinating the dozens of you and making sure all pieces of evidence actually make it to examination.
... Mm, yes, let's not do the first one. We're already standing tentatively on timebombs as it is.
[ gazes into the distance. ]
Let's not set ourselves up for a fall. But-- as long as we aren't leaving four people monstered up and running around freely, I would count that as a victory.

I don't have a lot of interest in letting someone run around to try and kill us again next week.
[ it's not alturism. it's practicality. ]

[ famine agrees ]
They should be weakened now, since the ritual was performed and the blood price will be paid tomorrow.

They don't transform on the night of the murder, though they clearly seem to show traits when accused.
So you would survive an altercation with them as long as you don't make a stupid mistake.
no subject
Not at all? No claws or extra appendages to help them with their murder?
[ explains the lack of monster footprints, at least. ]
no subject
They have access to their powers, but you didn't see any use of tentacles last week did you?
[ boothill your dock ock moment ]

Then I wouldn't get too caught up on the idea of transformation when looking over evidence either.
no subject
Saves us spiralling over claw marks that may or may not be claw marks.
no subject
It was... better this week, considering how stupid the overlap was. Why was everyone at the beach?
But in general, the simplest way forward is always to review the evidence, theorize, and eliminate impossibilities to find what remains.
no subject
Well when you put it like that it seems so easy. [ it is not. ]
no subject
[ it is not. do not listen to famine ]

no subject
[ there are still so many of them. ]
You all know who did it, is that right? Even if you don't know the 'how' of it all.
no subject
[ okay rudeass. but famine nods ]
We do know... though we are bound to secrecy, else the ritual be compromised.
no subject
[ both of you, stop. ]
And if it is compromised? The monsters don't lose their power?
no subject
The monsters don't lose their power, the spell backfires and consumes us, the monsters get stronger—any variety of disaster, probably.
Understandably we will not be taking that risk. Perhaps we won't even need to contemplate it, if you keep up the streak.

[ there is still one person just Out There ]
However I will not call it an utter and colossal failure either, so perhaps there's that. Maybe this is what people call optimism.
[ okay they're obviously joking around by the end ]
no subject
[ because wow there could've been two of them. ]
Careful there. You'll start getting little flutters in your chest and then you start feeling hopeful. It's awful.
no subject
no subject
[ he shrugs. ] But it might not be a bad thing that you haven’t experienced them.
Do or die isn’t a bad attitude to have though, I suppose.

Nothing so specific. Merely an analysis of the human, or human, condition.
no subject
It's likely more of a kindness in this place to stab someone who's clearly possessed, than to hand wring over what to do about them.
[ .... although! ] That does bring up a thought though. We still need to vote at the end, no matter what?
