12th / 13th August, 2012.
We didn't speak much today. Eventually those few who did bother discussing what we'd seen decided upon two potential suspects - Billy (Gorbad) and Jack (Indicator). It was a close call, but finally the mob settled on Billy. This presented some serious issues, since he was the only person left with guns, which he brandished menacingly whenever anybody approached. Finally Soda (Dalek) took matters into her own hands, sneaking up behind the gravedigger while he focussed upon the group, closing her eyes and plunging the blade into the back of the condemned man's neck (or as close as she could get, given that her eyes were closed). He slumped to his knees with a surprised look on his face as blood fountained from the wound in his neck, and then a strangely contented smile came over his face, and at that moment I knew that we had once again slain an innocent.
Nobody saw the point in searching anywhere, as we'd already looked everywhere we knew the killers to have visited, so we decided to take the day off. Jerry (Jerhicco) smoked just outside the door, avoiding the world. Henry (Oranos) also kept completely to himself, fiddling nervously with his multitool. Adrian (Riverstyx), Mel (slyme) and dike (dmel) pvssyd together, while Jesus (Oreo) prayed with great fervour in the corner of the hall. Salvatore (Drop Dead) flirted outrageously with Soda (Dalek), and Daria (Rosveen) borrowed Jack's (Indicator) pencil to write a letter to her mother. Tommy (I Do Not Know) drank heavily. Apu (Clintosthegreat) generously cleaned the hall.
Gradually the light grew dim, and we retired to bed. We were awoken by a crash from outside the hall, and struggled outside to witness another murder taking place. Salvatore (Drop Dead) was being strangled on the ground by a dark figure, while a second shadowy apparition stood off to the side. In a moment it was done, and the killers had disappeared into the night. Our frantic search was interrupted by a scream - Soda (Dalek), unable to cope with the loss of her lover, had taken her own life too.
Grimly we gathered in the morning, knowing that this would be resolved today, one way or another.

Suspect List:
Spoiler
8-Bit Legend
Name: Rick "Bear" Masterson
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Physical Description: 6'8", Thick-set. Arms as big asdsd tree trunks, and a beer-gut to match. Has a mop of dark brown hair, and a large scar on his right cheek which is mostly hidden by his extremely manly beard.
Clothing: He's dressed as his job would suggest: Red flannel over-shirt, jeans, work boots, etc.
Possessions: Cigarettes, lighter, felling ax, length of rope, flask of whiskey, and a necklace made of bear claws (not the pastry).
Occupation: Lumberjack, owns the local sawmill
Personality: Though he comes off as gruff and intimidating to people he doesn't know, "Bear" has a mostly positive outlook on life. He loves living in the mountains, and seems to truly enjoy the "rugged outdoorsman" lifestyle. People from town know when he's coming, due to his voice that matches his build. He's always ready to help out when a situation arises, often being the first to raise the call. He's not a saint by any means, as all men have their demons, but most people would classify him as a good guy to have on their side. That's definitely preferable to the opposite, as he knows how to hold a grudge like no other (just ask that black bear).
History: "Bear" grew up in the mountains. He comes from a long line of hard-working mountain men. He inherited the local sawmill when his father passed. He gained his nickname when, after a black bear came into town looking for food and ended up harming a small child, he grabbed nothing but his ax and rope and took off into the woods. He came back with a bloodied visage and towing the carcass of a 425 lb black bear. He's had a mighty fine rug in front of his fireplace and a new necklace since then.

Dalek
Name: Soda Pauper
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Soda's hair is a fruitful orange and green, nearly blinding. Eyes a piercing blue, wearing little to no make up, having a natural look. Pale white skin, glittered in freckles. Some may even call her a ginger. Her hair is puffy and all over the place. Acting as an umbrella. Despite her naturally orange hair tone, the orange is like that of a highlighter, not to mention the green flecks lighting things up. Along with rather high cheek bones and very tapered features, her eyes are an almond shape, lips pointed into a natural smile. She looks like an innocent, funny haired girl but has the body of a fine woman. Typical hourglass form. Perky briasts, small waist and wide hips. She is however rather petite, her figure not to be confused with a ratchet girl's.
Clothing: Soda wears dark colors, to bring attention to her face and hair. Typically seen in a dark teal colored blouse which has frilly lace over it. It's quite form fitting and gives her an advlt look. With that, she wears short black booty shorts along with laced up netting and combat boots. She wears little accessories and looks like what city-folk would call a streetwalking h*e.
Possessions: A tube of coral colored lipstick, a compact mirror with make up powder in it to give her face that sharp and shapely look whenever she needs it, an etched 5 inch blade that can slice through pretty much anything, and lastly, a flask of whiskey to take a sip from whenever she feels she is losing her edge.
Occupation: Makes money on the side by having her way with the townsmen.
Personality: Rather short tempered and no patience for idiots. If anything, no patience for those who do not agree with her and especially no patience for those who judge her. She has a rather strong personality and can make a real impression on someone just by talking. She has a voice like razors that can pierce through to anyone, she demands to be heard. Soda also carries herself with a bit of an edgy personality, constantly teetering on the brink of insanity. Willing to take risks and even matters into her own hands. She likes to feel in control. This is because of people not taking her seriously. Because of her name and her father's history, people tend to stay away from her socially, whether it's not liking her way of life to not liking her bad blood.
History: Soda's father, Cap Pauper, spent his life in the small town of Lynchaster and had the type of disorder that made you want to kill cats. Cap kept these wants at bay and let it boil inside of him. His parents were abusive and regular drug users. Cap was hooked on everything by 14. Never really amounted to anything and just lived with his parents in their home. Once they passed, he decided to meet people. He cleaned up his life for about 3 years at the age of 30 and met his wife, Suki Harrow. They soon had their first and only child, Soda Pauper. By that time, Cap was back on drugs and regularly abused his wife. She stayed however, fearing for Soda's safety. Cap had passed and Soda was left to live alone with her mother at the age of 5. Soda compensates for her bad history and blood-reputation with the townspeople by acting out, thinking that she is better than her father. Instead it has left her emotionally scarred and unstable, with an "I don't care" mindset.

When he feels threatened, he'll do exactly what he's told to make it out of harms way and back to the loving embrace of his poker hand.

History: Born and raised in Lynchcaster, daughter of a biology teacher and a postman. When she grew up she left to go to university. Soon after earning her bachelor's degree in accounting she received a message about her father's death, prompting her to go home and spend more time with her mother.
slyme
Name: Mel Davis
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Average height, average build. Mel is relatively fit from his rounds, but his diet and penchant for an after-hours drink (or three) masks it under a light layer of pudge. He sports brown hair worn with a side-part and a well maintained mustache.

Possessions: Postman's satchel, clipboard with pen and pencil, ziplock bag filled with almonds and twizzlers, hand-warmers, postal worker badge, box cutter.
Occupation: Postman
Personality: Generally professional, though he rarely exhibits any urgency in his work. In a town like Lynchcaster, hustle isn't especially required. Mel puts on a friendly face with his fellow residents, though he is reticent to open up about anything meaningful. Small talk and jokes come easily, but most interactions remain superficial, rarely moving beyond chats at the office watercooler or local bar. He feels discontent with his current station. Disillusion prevents him from taking any firm measures to rectify his situation and so he coasts through his job and life. Each year that passes makes change a less and less likely proposition.
History: Mel was born and raised in Lynchcaster. He left for college at 18, but indecision and apathy forced him to drop out after a year. He spent the next few years living paycheck to paycheck. Kitchen work, landscaping, whatever could pay the bills. He worked a brief stint in some local dive as a bouncer until he took a bottle to the side of the head, leaving him deaf in one ear. After his mother died, he inherited the family home and moved back to Lynchaster. Shortly thereafter he got a job in the post office mail-room as a clerk, and eventually found himself walking a route and making deliveries.

History: Francis's father left his mother and him as a child which led to Francis growing up with no guidance since his mom had to work two jobs.

In fact, she rarely shows any emotion at all.
History: Tricia was adopted by a family in Lynchcaster from Japan and hasn't left since. They gave her a traditional Japanese last name, hoping it would encourage her to embrace her ethnicity. Instead it lead to constant bullying from the other children in town which forced her to reject her Asian heritage altogether.

Xetirox
Name: Diana Stanley
Age: 32
Gender: Female

Clothing: Wears a dark hoodie with the hood usually up.
Possessions: A purse that carries money, checks, credit cards, and most of her other stuff. Said stuff includes a bottle of anti-depressants, and a netbook computer. Often carries a handgun for protection as well.
Occupation: Runs a thrift store.
Personality: On the surface, Diana often maintains a friendly and professional demeanor. In her past, she used to be pretty outspoken about her beliefs, but one rather notable experience caused her to become more withdrawn. Nowadays, she avoids discussing politics of any sort, even if she’s annoyed by the backwards viewpoints of some of the locals. Deep down, she’s actually a pretty nervous wreck, sometimes suffering nightmares from a previous experience in her life and has hemophobia. She believes she may need counseling, but can’t find in herself to talk about her problems.
History: Diana grew up in Arkham, Massachusetts where she lived a pretty comfortable life, running a shop specializing in small women’s clothes. Always a politically active woman, she was eventually invited by a friend to a group called the Silver Lodge, which promised that it would bring about “many reforms to the city.” After being a member for a few weeks, however, it became apparent to Diana that they were less a political organization and more of a religious occult that practiced human sacrifice. After seeing them gruesomely kill three unfortunate souls, she fled. Too afraid to report to the authorities, she packed up as much as she could carry and drove away. After traveling for a bit, Diana decided to finally stop at this innocuous little town, which seemed a safe enough place to start over. She set up a new store in Lynchcaster and has been there for five years now.
Name: Rick "Bear" Masterson
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Physical Description: 6'8", Thick-set. Arms as big asdsd tree trunks, and a beer-gut to match. Has a mop of dark brown hair, and a large scar on his right cheek which is mostly hidden by his extremely manly beard.
Clothing: He's dressed as his job would suggest: Red flannel over-shirt, jeans, work boots, etc.
Possessions: Cigarettes, lighter, felling ax, length of rope, flask of whiskey, and a necklace made of bear claws (not the pastry).
Occupation: Lumberjack, owns the local sawmill
Personality: Though he comes off as gruff and intimidating to people he doesn't know, "Bear" has a mostly positive outlook on life. He loves living in the mountains, and seems to truly enjoy the "rugged outdoorsman" lifestyle. People from town know when he's coming, due to his voice that matches his build. He's always ready to help out when a situation arises, often being the first to raise the call. He's not a saint by any means, as all men have their demons, but most people would classify him as a good guy to have on their side. That's definitely preferable to the opposite, as he knows how to hold a grudge like no other (just ask that black bear).
History: "Bear" grew up in the mountains. He comes from a long line of hard-working mountain men. He inherited the local sawmill when his father passed. He gained his nickname when, after a black bear came into town looking for food and ended up harming a small child, he grabbed nothing but his ax and rope and took off into the woods. He came back with a bloodied visage and towing the carcass of a 425 lb black bear. He's had a mighty fine rug in front of his fireplace and a new necklace since then.

Name: Soda Pauper
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Soda's hair is a fruitful orange and green, nearly blinding. Eyes a piercing blue, wearing little to no make up, having a natural look. Pale white skin, glittered in freckles. Some may even call her a ginger. Her hair is puffy and all over the place. Acting as an umbrella. Despite her naturally orange hair tone, the orange is like that of a highlighter, not to mention the green flecks lighting things up. Along with rather high cheek bones and very tapered features, her eyes are an almond shape, lips pointed into a natural smile. She looks like an innocent, funny haired girl but has the body of a fine woman. Typical hourglass form. Perky briasts, small waist and wide hips. She is however rather petite, her figure not to be confused with a ratchet girl's.
Clothing: Soda wears dark colors, to bring attention to her face and hair. Typically seen in a dark teal colored blouse which has frilly lace over it. It's quite form fitting and gives her an advlt look. With that, she wears short black booty shorts along with laced up netting and combat boots. She wears little accessories and looks like what city-folk would call a streetwalking h*e.
Possessions: A tube of coral colored lipstick, a compact mirror with make up powder in it to give her face that sharp and shapely look whenever she needs it, an etched 5 inch blade that can slice through pretty much anything, and lastly, a flask of whiskey to take a sip from whenever she feels she is losing her edge.
Occupation: Makes money on the side by having her way with the townsmen.
Personality: Rather short tempered and no patience for idiots. If anything, no patience for those who do not agree with her and especially no patience for those who judge her. She has a rather strong personality and can make a real impression on someone just by talking. She has a voice like razors that can pierce through to anyone, she demands to be heard. Soda also carries herself with a bit of an edgy personality, constantly teetering on the brink of insanity. Willing to take risks and even matters into her own hands. She likes to feel in control. This is because of people not taking her seriously. Because of her name and her father's history, people tend to stay away from her socially, whether it's not liking her way of life to not liking her bad blood.
History: Soda's father, Cap Pauper, spent his life in the small town of Lynchaster and had the type of disorder that made you want to kill cats. Cap kept these wants at bay and let it boil inside of him. His parents were abusive and regular drug users. Cap was hooked on everything by 14. Never really amounted to anything and just lived with his parents in their home. Once they passed, he decided to meet people. He cleaned up his life for about 3 years at the age of 30 and met his wife, Suki Harrow. They soon had their first and only child, Soda Pauper. By that time, Cap was back on drugs and regularly abused his wife. She stayed however, fearing for Soda's safety. Cap had passed and Soda was left to live alone with her mother at the age of 5. Soda compensates for her bad history and blood-reputation with the townspeople by acting out, thinking that she is better than her father. Instead it has left her emotionally scarred and unstable, with an "I don't care" mindset.

Personality: Jerry tried to keep to himself. He's largely afraid of the world around him, skittish and shy. He's not a particularly interesting individual, spending most of his time on computers, in and out of work. In work, he does just enough to not get fired so he can keep making money to fuel his on-line gambling addiction, which has cost him nearly everything. His lack of a proper diet shows strongly through his complexion and lack of energy towards anything he feels he doesn't need to do. When he feels threatened, he'll do exactly what he's told to make it out of harms way and back to the loving embrace of his poker hand.
History: As a child, Jerry had an abusive father and apathetic mother. Growing up in an age of ever growing technology, he turned his focus away from his troubled family to his work with computers. He acquired the ability to sense, and avoid danger whenever possible. Through school, he was picked on enough to know when someone was going to start trouble with him before the trouble came. When faced between fight or flight, he always picked flight, avoiding countless confrontations through clever escape techniques.

slyme
Name: Mel Davis
Age: 31
Gender: Male

Possessions: Postman's satchel, clipboard with pen and pencil, ziplock bag filled with almonds and twizzlers, hand-warmers, postal worker badge, box cutter.

Personality: Generally professional, though he rarely exhibits any urgency in his work. In a town like Lynchcaster, hustle isn't especially required. Mel puts on a friendly face with his fellow residents, though he is reticent to open up about anything meaningful. Small talk and jokes come easily, but most interactions remain superficial, rarely moving beyond chats at the office watercooler or local bar. He feels discontent with his current station. Disillusion prevents him from taking any firm measures to rectify his situation and so he coasts through his job and life. Each year that passes makes change a less and less likely proposition.
History: Mel was born and raised in Lynchcaster. He left for college at 18, but indecision and apathy forced him to drop out after a year. He spent the next few years living paycheck to paycheck. Kitchen work, landscaping, whatever could pay the bills. He worked a brief stint in some local dive as a bouncer until he took a bottle to the side of the head, leaving him deaf in one ear. After his mother died, he inherited the family home and moved back to Lynchaster. Shortly thereafter he got a job in the post office mail-room as a clerk, and eventually found himself walking a route and making deliveries.

In fact, she rarely shows any emotion at all.
History: Tricia was adopted by a family in Lynchcaster from Japan and hasn't left since. They gave her a traditional Japanese last name, hoping it would encourage her to embrace her ethnicity.

Name: Diana Stanley
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Physical Description: She stands at 5’5” and has a pretty petite build. Hair is straight, chocolate-brown in color, and runs halfway down her back.
Clothing: Wears a dark hoodie with the hood usually up.
Possessions: A purse that carries money, checks, credit cards, and most of her other stuff. Said stuff includes a bottle of anti-depressants, and a netbook computer. Often carries a handgun for protection as well.
Occupation: Runs a thrift store.
Personality: On the surface, Diana often maintains a friendly and professional demeanor. In her past, she used to be pretty outspoken about her beliefs, but one rather notable experience caused her to become more withdrawn. Nowadays, she avoids discussing politics of any sort, even if she’s annoyed by the backwards viewpoints of some of the locals. Deep down, she’s actually a pretty nervous wreck, sometimes suffering nightmares from a previous experience in her life and has hemophobia. She believes she may need counseling, but can’t find in herself to talk about her problems.
History: Diana grew up in Arkham, Massachusetts where she lived a pretty comfortable life, running a shop specializing in small women’s clothes. Always a politically active woman, she was eventually invited by a friend to a group called the Silver Lodge, which promised that it would bring about “many reforms to the city.” After being a member for a few weeks, however, it became apparent to Diana that they were less a political organization and more of a religious occult that practiced human sacrifice. After seeing them gruesomely kill three unfortunate souls, she fled. Too afraid to report to the authorities, she packed up as much as she could carry and drove away. After traveling for a bit, Diana decided to finally stop at this innocuous little town, which seemed a safe enough place to start over. She set up a new store in Lynchcaster and has been there for five years now.
