Zachary sighed, wondering what they could even do now. "Um, I know now's not the best time, but I've had this nagging at me for a while now: while we were all searching for information, did anyone happen to look for, or even find, Mama's will? I know it's a huge stretch, but there may be a clue for how we all ended up in this mess."
Asher not-so-subtly glanced over at James with the most accusing look he could muster on his face.

"The only flaw in your logic, Bertram, is admittedly a shaky one," Zachary replied, scratching his chin, "But if these 'Witches' can kill four people with magic, then why would they have an independent killer who can go after a fifth person? Granted, it's possible Wyn killed the rest of them, but just couldn't touch you. It's also possible, like others have said, that you both are innocent and we're all just barking up the wrong tree . . . except for our culprit, who must be sitting here inwardly laughing to themselves watching us bicker towards nowhere."
"I don't believe there's an 'independent killer', so much as, whoever these villains are, they need to visit us in-person to work their villainy. I suppose that does rule out my earlier suggestion that they're poisoning people... but then, even I'm forced to concede that there's something strange about all this," Bertram said. "If Wyn can prove herself though then yes, I think you're right about the real culprits sitting back and laughing while we destroy ourselves. These are truly dark times."

James laughed, "So you want to kill me for no reason? I think that's pretty suspicious, why are you so hellbent on killing someone? I think there are people who are far more suspicious than me. Would you back any random choice... even if it was Asher? I think the mere proposal of this idea is highly suspicious so I vote for Basil."

"If I may speak, father, I feel as though I may know how many killers we are dealing with." Lucine politely raised her hand. "Grandmother always told me there were five witches of the golden land, one leader and four followers. I am not sure if the murderers we are dealing with are the real ones, but if they call themselves witches, they could be five just as the stories say."
Twilip reluctantly nods her head. "5 killers would explain how quickly our numbers were cut down, but they can't really be witches." She places a hand on her forehead. "I always assumed those stories were just made up to keep me and by brothers from straying too far from the manor when we were young..."

The musician then turns to Zach. "And, Zach, didn't you say something about Auntie Gloria's will, right?" Vincent commented as he got up from his seat. "If we can find Auntie Gloria's will, we might figure out exactly what we have gotten ourselves into..."

"And I agree. Finding the will may help us out. Any idea where it would be?" he asked. Even though he was addressing everyone in the room, his narrowed eyes were fixed squarely on James.

He shook his head. “Nah. Fuck this ‘outta time’ bullshit. We’re voting while there’s a chance and I’m gonna do in the one person who still hasn’t answered me.” He said, glaring at Basil.

"Previously we used arguments like 'Zachary would never harm his wife' and 'Basil would never hurt Violet', but if the Golden Witch gets to make the call on who dies, then Basil or Zachary might well be a witch anyway, whose arguments against certain people dying were overruled by their leader. With that said, Basil's words and actions have made me uneasy for a good while now."

Basil straightened up and brushed down his suit. His voice calm once more "I won't deny I lost my temper earlier, but I think given the circumstances a little loss of composure is COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE!"

Before he could go on another tangent, Basil spoke up... quite loudly, causing him to flinch. Asher's eye twitched just a bit at Mickey's words, but he managed to keep his composure for the most part. While he did agree with Mickey on some points, he felt he was taking it too far.
"... Father. The last thing you need to do is give into his taunting. So... don't," he simply stated to Basil, glancing between him and Mickey. "He's trying to goad you into it. Do yourself a favor and don't give in. ... It's the last thing we need right now."

Then Asper spoke up from his side and Basil looked down at him and the rage in his eyes cooled. "Th-thank you son... I know...I'm sorry about before...I won't do that again."
He straightened up and turned back to Mickey "I don't know what's wrong with you that led you to be such a vile monster Mickey. I never had such a problem with you but this...this..." He shook with rage holding Wyns hand tightly to stop himself from lunging at Mickey.
I vote for Mickey

"We're unsure what each of us are capable of, other than what Wyn and Master Bertram have told us. Choosing a target at random could shoot ourselves in the foot and cut off any chances we might have at fighting back against these... 'witches'.. And because of that, while I cannot agree with his actions, we must not let emotions control us."
"Would anyone like some tea to calm them down? Perhaps I should begin preparing dinner?" He looks over towards his master for approval.

"Saying that Mickey is suspicious simply for interrupting the conversation is ridiculous. Look at me, I haven't said a word since you all have began to speak. Are you to just assume that I could possibly be innocent? I believe you all are getting quite . . . desperate. And I understand. I understand what this pressure must feel like. But don't. Don't you dare vote for my son."
She let out a shaky sigh, her tired eyes staring at the floor.
"I abstain."
Either killing or not killing was bad in their own ways, but Jacqueline couldn't do it. She couldn't feel responsible if the one she voted for were to die. She didn't want more bloodshed- but she had to face reality and realize that was inevitable.

"Wait... Dinner? Christ, this discussion that we're engaged... It made us lose track of time, and we're still in our pajamas!" Vincent said, surprised by what time it is right now. "Maybe we should go change into our clothes before we can eat dinner? Auntie Gloria would want that, wouldn't she?"

[THEME MUSIC]
The group agrees to eat dinner. As the dire bickering had gone on, most had ignored their need for food and such. It was time to take a much needed break.
Everyone decides to wait in the dining room for dinner. Rain beats against the massive stained glass window. A few people excuse themselves and go back to the rooms, leaving mostly in groups of two or three. James ignores any caution and leaves on his own. Asher does as well.
At some point Bertram and Wyn come back into the room, a stern look is on Bertram's face. He tells the others that he and Jackie went upstairs, but at some point she vanished, and he had already searched upstairs. Wyn can't find Basil either.
Asher and James still aren't back from their excursions either...
A little while later, James returns just as Archer is bringing out food for Dinner. James talks as though he hasn't seen anything in particular. Except that the outside door was open for some reason.
Zach suddenly points out of the window, out into the garden, under the garden gazebo, at the end of a connecting arcade...
[SCENE MUSIC]
Two people sit across from one another at a chess set. It's hard to tell through the stained glass, but it's Jackie and Asher. The young man and his aunt are eerily still.
"They're smiling."
Archer and Bertram begin walking to the garden door, through the library, when they spot someone else, seated in a large, leather chair.
There Basil is, his eyes distant and lifeless. The expression on his face an eerily stuck smile.
That makes three.

"Yes, Bertram, I visited you again. You came back clean; you and Robin never visited each other, so you're not the killer at least," he explained, not wanting to beat around the bush.
Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day.

"Yo, is dinner rea--" Vincent asked before he stopped midst-sentence as he noticed what was going on. "What the... Are you fucking kidding me?!"
He took a moment or two to register what have happened. "Asher... Jackie.... Even Cousin Basil!"

"Forgive me, Master Bertram. I would love to offer you a drink right now, to help ease your mind... but I believe Milady Lucine takes priority."
Archer puts his hand in his pocket and takes out several little candies. He kneels over next to Lucine. "Shall we go back inside?" He asks in the softest voice he can manage.

She still wouldn't raise that hat, though.

Maurice was quiet for a few minutes, and then nodded. "Indeed, you are correct. Just for the record, could you also confirm that I am not aligned with these... "witches", for my convenience?" He added.
He looked at the others. "So I believe our fair lady is probably aligned with us now... not that that's a surprise, to any extent." He shook his head. "We should get looking for more clues. Did anybody else notice anything of value during all this?"
