I'm not going to sit idly by while Jackie and Lucine become the next targets to a bunch of madmen, so we have no choice but to stop them. Permanently. Mickey rightly pointed out that it wouldn't be right for me to simply pick someone myself however, so we elected to put it to a vote."

Your last suggestion was to rip the pipes out of the walls and hope the so-called witches would just go away! Bah, this is just like old times..."

“You’ve got nothing on her at all! I’d sooner suspect Mickey, who showed up nearly completely uninvited? Why else if there wasn’t some motive behind it?” He waved an arm dismissing the idea.

"I...I fear that I might be targeted next if I reveal anything else." Wyn mutters. "You can't suspect me just because I visited someone. If Bertram had died, then sure, fine. But I wasn't the only one who was up at night. Something tells me many of you were also up to your own business too..."
"I'm sorry," James responded, "That isn't enough, if we had a more credible lead we might've been able to ignore this but as things stand if you can't point out someone more suspicious than you, then we might have to vote for you."

"..Alas, I'm afraid you're pointing the finger at the wrong person." Wyn says, combing her hair with her hand. "You want to know what I did last night? I did some poking around and long story short, I found out that Bertram has night-time immunity. He can confirm it."
The light-haired lady turns to Bertram and crosses her arms. "Well? Why would you have this night immunity if you're one of the innocents like us? Very peculiar indeed..."

"So, Uncle Bertie... how exactly could she not kill you if she really did want to do that? Did you catch her in the act and scare her off, fight her off, have some sort of protection...? It's odd that you claim that your paranoia saved you, but if these murderers come after us again when we're all paranoid... who knows if that'll save us?"

"As a matter of fact, that's part of why I was suspicious of Wyn in the first place," Bertram sighed. He poured himself a drink and had a gulp to steady his nerves. "You see... I really, really don't believe in this witchcraft nonsense. I'm not about to be put down by some damned fool murderers. You're right, these... witches, or what have you, can't kill me. That's exactly why you know what I'm capable of. You snuck into my room last night and tried to kill me, but failed thanks to my... alertness? Paranoia? It kept me alive either way, whatever it was. When I ousted you today for having visited me, you clamped up because you had such a dark secret to hide. Now that suspicion is on you, you tried to turn your findings around as some kind of... investigation. Your lies won't work on me however, I'm afraid. I'm now only all the more certain you're part of this wretched scheme."
James was sceptical, "Bertie, if she really tried to kill you then why are you only revealing this crucial piece of information now? We would've caught the killer and this discussion would've ended a long time ago if you had told us this from the start and if you knew something was up why didn't you try and prevent other people from getting killed or warn us about this before we found the bodies? I believe Wyn, I think you're lying"

". . . And I just revealed my hand to the killers . . . ." Zachary whispered. Something in his mind snapped, and he rolled up one of his sleeves, attempting to make a more intimidating pose. "Okay, at least two of you bastards murdered Mama, my wife, Basil's daughter, a random stranger that Mama claimed to be part of the family, and one of the servants. I doubt all of the rest of you just sat idly twiddling your thumbs in your rooms! The halls were probably pretty lively indeed last night! In fact-"
. . . And then the back-and-forth between Wyn and Bertram started, and Zachary shrunk back into his seat. So much for being a man with nothing left to lose.
"U-Ugh, my head . . . I don't know what to think now." He racked his brain for anything he could think of.
"I really have nothing to go on right now, but I do have a problem: Wyn, if Bertram is telling the truth, then why would you try to kill him? The logic is strange, and I do agree it's odd that you only bring this up now, Bertram. Only Mama was dead before last night. D-Did you all really come prepared for bloodshed? Wh-What kind of crazy family was I born into . . . ?"

"If you're asking why I held off on mentioning it, I thought that was pretty clear from my earlier behaviour. I can tell who visited me, but not what they did. I wanted to wait and see if anyone lied to my face, so that I could throw it back at them. I have no idea if Wyn was trying to kill me when she visited me last night, all I know is I can't be killed by damned 'witches' and that Wyn's claims line up perfectly with that."

“Don’t be ridiculous little brother. If Bertram is telling the truth then that means the accomplices could kill five people in one night and there’s no way that wouldn’t cause some kind commotion. They wrought a bloody harvest last night! There’s no way he’s telling the truth!” Basil told Zach, and pretty much anyone else who’d listen.
"They killed four people in one night!" Bertram retorted. "Why is five so much harder to believe?"

He slid off of the countertop, patrolling around the room. "Uncle Basil--why ya think it's so crazy that witches can kill five people in one night? Why is that the part you're heated on? Five ain't much bigger than four to me. Is there something you know?"
He then addressed the rest of the room. "Archie. Allister. Asher. Cuz'n Vincent. Ma. Aunt Twilip. I won't have a problem killing a single one of ya if you don't speak the fuck up. We just learned a lot of heavy shit here--if you have thoughts then talk."

"Still don't trust me? We can even have someone like Zach watch me visit someone to make sure it's me doing the investigating." Wyn huffs. "But putting me on the gallows like this would be a very stupid decision. If we do not have enough information to prove anyone guilty, it is best to not put anyone on the gallows at all for now. And to be honest, out of the two us, you're the one who seems the most suspicious..."

"Actually, I'm sort of... neutral on the argument between Wyn and Bertie... While they have made their statements, I'm not sure who I'm more likely to agree with..." Vincent said as he puts the ice on the table. "They each have their own words, so... I can't really judge who's telling the truth or not. So... why not give them a chance to prove that they're telling the truth?"

"I do," replied James, "I'm certain that she isn't lying so I don't really think a test is really necessary. How did she deduce your power then? If she was lying about her skills wouldn't she have had to come up with a random power which if wrong would have been easy to refute. I doubt she would have been able to guess your exact power purely based on luck."

'Mickey' sat still. It seemed like he was meditating in place, listening to the arguments unfold. Finally he spoke, "If Wyn is telling the truth, we can't afford to lose her. But I don't think Pops can be lying about his ability. Not unless those two are working together."

"In any case, to throw in my two cents, I do find Uncle Bertie to be way more suspicious than Wyn. If he really can't be killed by witches or whatever, who's to say that he's not one of them, or at least working with them? Of course, there's always the possibility that Wyn is lying, but yeah," he elucidated.

"Well... When you put it that way... I'm more inclined to believe you, Wyn." Vincent decided as he cross his arms. "We only have Bertie's word that he had this 'night immunity' ability. And let's not forget how he acted aggressively after Wyn revealed his ability. Accusing her of witchcraft? Like, really? He could at least confirms that's true, but well... We know what happened..."

"Sorry, as much as it pains me to do this... I have no choice but..." Vincent let out a sigh as he made his decision to vote for Bertram. "I guess... It's been 22 years since I was last here at the mansion... Bertie, you weren't who I knew back then. You're... a complete stranger to me now."

"Night . . . Immunity?" Zachary pondered, "I mean, I can understand being able to protect yourself once or twice, but all-encompassing, no-questions-asked protection from being killed at night? Meaning the only way to get rid of you is if you're killed during the day? If-If you ask me, that sounds like it'd be pretty nice for our adversaries to have, now wouldn't it?"
"No, you misunderstand. I am immune to being killed by... witchcraft, or whatever you want to call it. I'm sure anyone who wants to point a gun at me and fire could get away with that," Bertram explained.
"In any case, let's not get siloed here. Wyn and I are far from the only choices. If you trust Wyn, why does that mean I must be shot? If you trust me, why does that mean Wyn must be shot? I still have my doubts about Wyn, but she makes a sound argument: either she's a 'witch', or she's a skilled investigator who could be vital to our survival. Based on that logic I'm no longer sure I wish to vote for her. She may be a 'witch', but there are other 'witches' among us. We have no particular reason to believe there are any other detectives hiding among us, on the other hand. I'm forced to concede my earlier argument. Not because I no longer believe in it, but because a detective of some kind is just far too useful to risk losing."

"I think Madame Wyn's power is invaluable, if what she says is true. Is there not a way to determine a plan that would allow us to ensure she proves herself, and her innocence?" Archer puts a hand to his chin.
"Ah, and, of course, Master Bertram, I find it quite odd that you're able to be so certain that any of this 'magic' witches have access to will have no effect on you. Wouldn't one need to be magically-attuned to be certain of that? That alone makes me suspicious..."
"However, I cannot say I lean heavily in either way. If we simply must kill someone, then perhaps I believe we should remove anyone who we know could be a threat to us." Archer steps forward and takes a small notepad from his pocket, or somewhere, it doesn't matter.
"Putting it this way..." He says as he begins to scribble four boxes on the sheet. "Of course, there's much more to it than this, but let's say our only options are to lynch Master Bertram or Madame Wyn. This leaves us with four outcomes."
"If we lynch Madame Wyn, and she's a 'witch', then that is a victory for us. However, if we lynch her and she is innocent, then we lose any utility she might have. If we lynch Master Bertram and he is a 'witch', then like previously, that is a victory for us. However, if we lynched him, and he is innocent... the hit to our fighting force is far smaller than the hit losing Wyn's abilities would be."
"Despite all of that, currently I'm electing not to lynch anyone. However I would say I am compelled to vote for Master Bertram, but I am... conflicted. Like Master Bertram said himself, there are many others who could be guilty. It might be best to investigate everyone else's actions last night."
