WEEK 1 - TRIAL

It's been a long night, with the knowledge burning in your brain that one of your number has died. Even if the victim wasn't known very well, this dangerous game of Mafia was still played, and that might be the worst of all. Not only that, but the Apprentice's warning still rings heavy in your minds - especially after seeing the state of Szayel's body.
The Lady appears for once when everyone is gathered, leading you all up the stairs to the third floor, past whatever glimpses of the upper floors you might get. The room she takes you to is, frankly, extravagant. There's snacks and drinks waiting inside, along with....a new person? It's a man, and as The Lady leaves and closes the doors behind her, the man tilts his head up and speaks.
"You can call me The Captain. Since one of you have died during the game, it's your responsibility to try and vote someone out. You have six hours to talk about it, but then-"
He taps on a box on the table in front of him, labeled 'VOTES'
"-you'll have to put in your vote so someone can be punished. Not voting, well...That's a lot like not playing. And trust me - you want to play."
The man sits down at the table, leaning back and placing his feet on the table while crossing his arms.
"So get to it."
As he says that, music begins to play in the room...
30 GUESTS REMAIN.

EVIDENCE

Right. Let's get to business. Szayel was found in the Courtyard, wrapped in a...sort of cocoon of gold thread. I inspected his body, and it looked as if he'd been completely drained of...whatever fluids. There was a mark on his neck that resembled...something that looked like a spider bite, almost.
[A pause.]
There were footprints in the snow some distance away from the body--Szayel's, I think, that made it look as if he'd been dragged through the air. I saw some golden thread up in a tree nearby. Anyone else have anything to add?

I don't know how useful it is, but... I was stuck in my room yesterday morning. The others tell me there was spiderweb over the door?
[Ahaha...]
I talked to the Apprentice and he said that when it's not possessing people, one of the monsters looks like a large, black wolf. Based on what happened, he assumes one looks like a spider, but he has no idea what the third one looks like.

The thread is resistant to pretty much everything but water and it's extremely sticky, so just... don't touch that. Ever.

ALIBIS!
I know people have already been talking about this already, but it might be useful to put together an organised list of everyone who was together with someone for the night. I don't know if they can be completely declared innocent, but it's a starting point.
For the record, I was alone in my room so I don't have an alibi.

Perhaps both of them were targeted for their abilities to see more than what others see. And in which case, we should think back to who had the strongest reactions when they announced their abilities.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS
Hey, everyone. Sorry to interrupt. [After pausing to make sure people are listening, he continues.]
I feel like we've talked a lot about alibis and what this spider is, but I think it might be good to backtrack to see if we can put together a timeline of events using the evidence we have. Maybe we can get a read on their actions somehow and figure out what we should be looking for.

CAT HERDING
HEY! LISTEN TO ME!
[and yells as loudly as he can. he stands on the seat with one foot propped onto the back and his hands dipped into his pockets]
For what it's worth, this is a stupid game and I have no interest in playing along. However. . .
[and his gaze flickers sideways, towards the Captain]
. . . what we know is that we apparently have three monsters who have likely possessed three people here. One spider, one wolf, and one unknown. The spider-- Jorogumo-- killed someone last night. Jorogumo also trapped Yoshi-kun in his room for reasons unknown. Yoshi-kun was trapped in his room prior to Granz-san's death. We have absolutely no evidence that points to a. . . [here, he hesitates, because "culprit" and "guilty party" don't sound right] . . . towards anyone in this room. But I don't think that's the point of this "game," anyway.
We need to pay attention to each other. Our behaviors, our mannerism, who we trust and with whom we communicate. But more importantly than that, we need to remember this sham of a trial isn't to find a "culprit" or a "murderer." It's to find a creature who is puppeteering someone's body and using it for their own ends. Whatever those ends may be. And when we find that creature, we don't necessarily have to vote for them. We just need to know who they are, so we can contain them and protect the person they're possessing or-- whatever!
Asking for volunteers of people who are willing to be voted for and potentially die isn't going to help us. Voting for yourself isn't going to help us, either! That only gives these creatures more time to regroup and attack us again. We owe it to these people to actually give an effort! So we need to focus on the things we do know so far, and the things we've observed in each other that may give them away as something other than themselves.
For example. . . [SORRY BUDDY] . . . Snake-san didn't fall asleep last night when the rest of us did. Why is that?
no subject
I can only say that I stayed with Snake last night, and I fell asleep after a certain amount of time. I don't know anything else.

George Bennings was Innocent, and a Peasant. He'll be executed tomorrow thanks to all of your utter incompetence at sniffing out a goddamned Giant Spider. Georgie - you'll be escorted back to your room, where you'll have your final meal. Anyone who wants to see you may, in the comfort of your own room. Escape attempts or rescue missions will not be tolerated, and anyone who tries will be instantly removed from the game.
Now get your asses back to the lobby.
