"...Do we even have a town sheriff?" Amory asked. "Someone to apprehend the truly untrustworthy!"

"Unless you have some way of proving you are a medium, then I'll have to say I have a very hard time believing you, Emilia." Avis replied.

She looked around at the group. "If there is no possibility that the killer was in the woods, I suppose we must start interrogating everyone, as well as investigating houses."

"Interrogations and searches" André tutted and swore something foreign as he discarded his cigarette "To think that's what this will all come to. Not the friendly frontier life I had had in mind." He sighed and looked towards Esther's house.

"At the least we should maybe ensure all our friends are together...safer that way no?" He said over his shoulder as he walked off to knock on Esther's door.

"What would interrogation consist of, exactly?" Pétur asked dubiously. "We don't have any evidence, or anything else to go on. We're not even sure what the killer is after; why did they do it? Will they do it again? We should focus on precautionary measures instead, I think that's our top priority."

Avis nodded. "Of course. We should set up some safety measures, such as a curfew. As for an interrogation, it would probably best to hold one tomorrow, after we've investigated. The mayor's home would be the best place to start." She walked up to the door of the late mayor's home and fiddled with the door knob, trying to get inside.

Several seconds after André knocked, Esther opened the door slowly, wide enough for her and her visitor to see each other clearly but not enough to be taken as an invitation to come inside. Her eyes were puffy and red.

"Oh. Hello, André." She sniffed and cleared her throat. "What, um, what brings you here?"

The door to the town hall opens. Could someone have picked at the lock on the door? Inside is a quaint study, with a desk built in the corner, bookshelves filled with mundane legal documents and paperwork, and a small bedroom in the back. Everything seems to be normal apart from a few black blood stains on the desk and on the floor. Certain stains make it seem like something was dragged in them.

"More scare tactics, then?" Jonas commented once the skeleton and the journal page were revealed. Maybe it was his resolve, or maybe it was his skepticism, or maybe it was that the remains weren't of someone he had spent any time with, but he wasn't nearly as shocked at the revelation.

"I agree with Vaughan and Pétur," Jonas said after thinking for a moment, adding sternly, "I do not want to mistrust any of you. You all seem like rather upstanding people. However, if any of you do turn out to be untrustworthy, expect no leniency. That said, precautions and preparations would be more effective than outright distrust, accusations, and brutality, in my opinion."
Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day.

"Hmmm..." Avis knelt down next to the blood stains. "The mayor was most likely dragged across the floor after he was killed. Meaning, of course, he was killed indoors." She frowned. "When I examined the body earlier, I don't believe I saw any cuts or gashes. How exactly then did this off-color blood come out of him? Unless, of course, it was not his blood to begin with."

"Oh. Hello, André." She sniffed and cleared her throat. "What, um, what brings you here?"


André smiled "But of course...I am here out of concern for you sweet Esther." He said standing back slightly and gesturing to the group again "I know what you have seen is difficult but we are forming a plan to keep each other safe and..." André hesitated for a moment as a slightly forlorn look came over his face "...without you I...I mean we would be lost." He shook his head briefly and the forlorn look disappeared to be replaced by a bashful smile "We would be lost without your expertise in planning how to handle this crisis plus...safety in numbers eh? My poor heart might stop if anything were to happen to you where I could not protect you." He said clapping a hand over his breast in a mock dramatic gesture.

He extended a hand to Esther "So please Esther, come back and join us...until we sort this out eh? I'll keep you safe."

Esther looked at André's hand. "Um . . ." she glanced inside and then back at him, uncertainty furrowing her brow. She took a deep breath. "I suppose I - I should not be alone right now."

Gingerly, she took his hand and stepped outside, but her gaze remained downward. "Thank you, André."

André's smile softened as Esther gave him her hand and he gently led her down the stairs like a princess.

"Think nothing of it Esther, the pleasure is mine to be graced by your company. We'll keep you safe" He said leading her back towards the group, making sure to place himself between the body and Esther so she need not look at it again.

Releasing Esther's hand once safely at the group André coughed to get everyone's attention.

"Alright then, since we don't know who did this we are going to take every precaution to find out what is going on here." He nodded to Avis and Cooper "What we suspect is that there is a small group of...troublemakers...who did this to our poor mayor and possibly the other most soul we found the other day."

André clapped his hands together to ensure everyone was still awake "SO...what people have proposed is house searches and..." André pulled a face clearly not liking the word "...interrogations." He shook his head sadly "Still with a murder in our midst such dire measures are necessary no?" He gestured to the others with a smooth flowing sweep of his arm

"We can talk about the specifics of it later but for now do we all agree that this is the way forward for our wonderful community?"

"Really, why is everyone so skeptical about a little séance? It's a time-honored tradition! It's such a piece of culture! I've met many people capable of meeting with the dead, and they're all very insightful! I can't wait to hear to hear Vic's voice again!"

Esther steeled herself and stepped out from behind André, giving him a quick nod to let him know it was alright. As he spoke, she slowly raised her gaze until she was looking at the bones that had been found during the team's expedition, and on shaky legs, she walked to it. She crouched and picked up the journal page.

"They found me."

There was nothing notable about it, except the shaky handwriting. Of course it was shaky. Whoever wrote this was probably panicking - they must have known that they were not long for this world. Esther closed her eyes, lowered her head, and tried to steady her breathing.

And then Forsythia spoke.

"A what?" Esther turned around. "A seance? Is there a medium among us?"

"Oh, Esther!" Forsythia stretches out her arms. "Why Emelia is a medium of course! She told us as much! She said she is planning on using her skills to help us understand what's going on!"

André was about to stop Esther but she seemed alright examining the body and so he nodded with satisfaction "Yes Esther its true. Emilia claims to have the gift of speaking with the dead." He held his hands up in an exaggerated shrug.

"I won't say its for everyone but by all means we should use all our special...talents to solve this." He gave Emilia a slight smile "I hope you won't mind if I need more evidence than a séance to be satisfied however."

Giving Forsythia an amused look he gestured to her "Ah it is good to see you again Forsythia, truly you are a font of grace in this village." He said beaming despite the circumstances. "We never got to finish our conversation yesterday though, you said you thought it was a hex that killed the mayor?"

[I don't think we're allowed to search the houses but idk what the IC justification for that is]

"Yeah. That uh...hmmm..." Cooper pointed to Emilia since he couldn't remember her name. "She's the medium. Or at least claims to be. I don't believe a word of it though."

He looked at everyone else. "We could probably turn her in for $25,000. Maybe $50,000 if you guys are willing to hoof it a little more distance. And of course we'd split it evenly."

Esther slowly stood up as she listened to the others, a look of dawning realization spreading across her face.

"We should try it!" she blurted out. Almost as soon as she spoke, she flushed with embarrassment. "I mean . . . What would the harm be? If it turns out to be untrue, then we have only wasted some time. But if there is a way to contact Mayor Timm and -" her voice cracked "- and this person here . . ." She gestured to the skeleton. "Well, it could be invaluable."

Desperately, Esther turned to Emilia. "Please, could you try? And Cooper -" she swiveled to look at him "- will you promise not to harm her or turn her in? She could - she could do some real good, if she is telling the truth."

"I don't see what the issue with a seance would be." William spoke up for the first time after the bones were revealed. It didn't seem like he had much of a reaction to the sight. "Hearing what exactly happened straight from the victim's mouth would be quite helpful, wouldn't it? Not like I could provide anything more useful in a situation like this."

He turned to Cooper as he talked about turning Emilia in. "Now, surely that wouldn't be necessary? Laws persecuting people because of things like that have always seemed quite unfair to me. A bounty hunter would be too honorable to benefit from something like that, right?" He asked, apparently completely seriously.

"Honor? The one that matters here is the bottom line." Cooper said, rubbing his fingers together on one hand to pantomime the payout.

"I have never been one to believe in the occult," Jonas admitted in response to the others suggesting they try the séance, "However . . . I am willing to keep an open mind. Besides, I find knowledge much more valuable than any sum of money could ever be." Of course, he'd be in no shape to argue with a bounty hunter, but he was always one to throw in his two cents.

"Ah, Xander, good point!" Jonas said with a smile, "The most important issue here is finding the murderer - or murderers - and bringing them to justice."

"We're in the Woeful Woods, remember. The nearest civilised town will be miles away," Pétur said, scratching his beard uncomfortably after Amory's ageist comment. "Too many rumours surrounding this place, no-one wants to be near it. I'm not sure finding a sheriff or such is feasible. Besides, I'm against travelling," he grumbled. "Came out here to retire, not to go gallivanting about."

"The way I see it, there are two options. Either she's telling us the truth, and she's a witch. Or she's lying to us, which would mean she's trying to dissuade us from finding the real killer, which could only be her. Sheriff's office sounds like best bet either way." He began to unravel some of the rope hanging from his belt as he spoke. "I guess there's a third option too, where she's insane or some kind of zounderkite. In which case Sheriff's office is still best bet--I'm sure they can find her a place to get her the help she sorely needs."

At Pétur's comment, Cooper turned to him. "Don't worry, it's not a venture I'd call myself inexperienced with. As long as I had some kind of map out of these woods..."

"Oh hello André! You are so lovely! It's a treat to see you! We must catch up!" Forsythia coos. "Anyway, did I say it was a hex? Oops. I just thought, you know, why not?"

"We can't all be thinking of you things in terms of superstition! Sometimes it's fun to go along with things! Like astrology! Or humorism!"

"Cooper, my most talented and handsome friend" André began "Let's not be so hasty now. With a graver threat out there, surely we should use any tool we have to locate the offending parties?" He spread his arms wide in a show of peace and moved between Cooper and Emilia

"Besides I don't know if séance and witchcraft are quite the same thing in the eyes of the law so put your rope away and let's not go dragging people away just yet eh?"

He looked at the bones "Besides, I'm eager to see what happens, its always a thrill to experience new things no?" He said with a wink at Cooper.

"I believe our best option for the time being is to simply keep close guard on Emila." Avis stated simply. "Someone who believes they can commune with the dead is not mentally sound. I say we keep a close eye on her at all times, and guard her house at night to watch for anything suspicious. I'll even take first watch if that's alright with all of you."

"Hmph." It seems like Cooper is going to disobey, but he ends up hooking the rope back to his belt.

He flicks his eye to Emilia. "Be quick with it. Let's not prolong this charade any longer than it needs to be."

"Ah-ha! That's the spirit my friend!" André said brightly as he rushed forward to embrace Cooper "Live and let live as they say!" He said releasing Cooper from the hug with an affectionate clap on the back.

Seeing the (presumably) unimpressed look on Cooper's face, André laughed slightly nervously before swivelling to face Emilia "Well there you go then madam, a chance to finally show your talents though I recommend you don't keep our wonderfully generous friend here waiting too long."

Howard gave Emilia a sceptical look. "Communin' with the death? What a load o' bull. Are ya just an attention seeker or summin'? This is just balderdash, I tell ya", he sighed. "Can't any of ya think of a rational way to find the bloody murderer 'ere?"

"Oh, if you want to figure out! You better get to work, Howie! I know I've already got myself some suspects," Forsythia says, nudging Howard.

"Anyway, let's take it slowly! Get to know each other more! We don't want to get too hot on this action so soon!"

"We can't exactly become more trusting of each other if we don't try to talk at least, right? Getting to know each other is specially important in this situation, I'd say. Sounds like we got something to do first, though." William looked at Emilia in anticipation.

"Well, Amory... I think I've found some very special people to me! Maybe you just haven't found the right person yet! I'll be sure to look out for you around here though! You make things interesting."

Forsythia gives Amory her perfect smile before strolling back over to her house.
