    @ exploding boy.
    @ Mr. Darcy

    I think Lady.V., champion., and I are the last folks standing. So these are the characters left:
    • Mariaxielle ''Rogue'' Hartsong
    • Rollin "RJ" West
    • Marina Austin
    • Abigail Peston
    • Alex
    • Mabuz
    • Tahmoh
    • Camus
    If the killer isn't on this list, can you let me know? ('Cause we'll have to pick a new killer.)
    Does this still stand???

    Awesome, so that's all the characters and their writers covered, right? If so, you guys won't have to edit the mess that is my writing. lmfao

    The only issue we might potentially have is that Mr. Darcy never told me who the killer was so I legit have no idea. The killer's writer knows, yes?

    @ nearly witches.
    I'll have a dig through my messages, I've got the killer down somewhere. lmfao

    @ Lady.V.
    I wasn't a writer but I'm still up for editing! Can pick up a character if necessary though!

    So, what do you think we should do first with what we have now? We should think of how to keep the story going.

    Would the next step be to find a body or decide someone's missing and then move on with the story from there? To shift from introducing everyone to realizing there's a mystery that needs solving.

    @ leon draisaitl.

    Crazy

    I had started on the Rollin/Abby one-on-one:Abby settled in her office, looking for the notebook she'd labeled with Rollin's name. With the front still untouched, she flipped the book over, opening it up to the pages in the back, where she'd keep her research. Spread around her desk were the books she collected from the library, and as she read, she jotted down what she hoped would be useful information.

    The full moon thing was a crock; Rollin had shifted last night while the moon was just a sickle-shape among the stars. As far as Abby could tell, he struggled with control despite the moon's cycle or the time of day. From what she'd heard last night, the transformation sounded both quick and painful (she was sure the snapping she had heard were that of bones, not twigs like she'd originally thought). And though she hadn't seen it, she guessed his wolf form was very large - as evidenced by the shreds of fabric left behind the night before and the lack of clothing upon his return.

    By her count, most of the information in her books either contradicted each other or what she'd witnessed with Rollin herself. Even the sources she considered most credible - handwritten collections gathered by well-respected cryptozoologists, supernaturalists, folklorist, occultists, grimms, and even the saner mystics - seemed to only offer limited verifiable information. Perhaps when things were steadier around the Home, she could work on updating some of the texts.

    Scribbling down a couple more notes, Abby checked her watched before looking up at the door. It had been a little while since she left Tahmoh with Rogue and Marina, and an even longer while since Rollin left the kitchen with Aita. She wondered if he'd show up to his session soon, or at all.

    -----

    Hackles still raised from his encounter with Lana, still hungry and too riled up, Rollin made his way to Abby's office. He stood at her door, taking deep breaths to get himself back under control.

    Get it together! he chastised himself.

    He rested his forehead and pressed his palms flat against the door to steady himself. He took another deep breath, letting her scent fill him up before exhaling slowly. He could do this. It was just one small therapy session and she was just a human; a simple woman who meant him no harm. In fact, if he was to believe her, she meant to help him. Probably he should take all the help he could get, if last night's transformation was any indication.

    Yes, he would get himself together. Hopefully, Abby would know how.

    -----

    There was a soft knock and then Abby's office door opened to reveal Rollin. Even freshly showered, hair damp, and newly clothed, he looked worn out. Apparently running around all night in wolf form took a lot out of him.

    "Is it okay if I...?" Rollin stood in the doorway, looking around the room.

    Abby quickly stood, sweeping her arm towards the chair opposite hers. "Of course. Come in. Have a seat."
    Do you want to continue from there or should we start over?

    Hey, so my final character still hasn’t been introduced, but I was thinking of intro’ing him at the start of the murder scene; maybe he brings it to everyone’s attention?

    I'll gather chapter 21 tonight and then chapter 23. @ leon draisaitl. Do you wanna work on the one-on-one with Abby and Rollin now? (That would be chapter 22, once it's done).

    Chapter 22: here to here

    Chapter 23: Rollin and Abby's one-on-one

    Chapter 24: here to here
