Thank you, Ani -- and thank you everyone for the opportunity, I'm very honored to be here.

[he's cried about it minimum 8 times and maybe thrown up once but! he's here!]

I can corroborate the existence of the same necromancer, though I think Ani's word should be sufficient, at this point. We also have these rumors about a witness to a Diamond leaving two of the crime scenes, which is interesting, to say the least. Last year we had no witnesses to the crimes, aside from doctors.

I also have a list of everyone's roles during September, in case the weapons used corroborate.

[ Thanks to Silco for sparing him the humiliation of having to be Merlin anywhere Tony Stark can see - sorry to Ani for the alternative but he's running out of options and co-chairs gotta co-chair ]

The information about the diamonds came from within the clubs, and not from Saber.

I don't have original sources for either of the tip-offs - I'll see what more I can find out - but one claims to have overheard it in passing. I don't have confirmation for this, but I suspect what that actually means is it's knowledge gained as the consequence of a role

In which case it's a valid lead and would help us to narrow our focus

[personal profile] kobes 2025-10-06 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? I have another source within the Hearts for the Diamond tip-off -- the one about Castiel. It's possible that they could be more than one person as a witness? Or at least as an informant.

There's more than one wolf and, hopefully, more than one doctor. It stands to reason there are multiples of other roles.

I agree. I have reason to suspect there are two of at least one support role.

I’m also inclined to believe there are at least one to two wolves per team, based on the number of attacks and the rules of any “game,” magic or otherwise, which demands a measure of order amongst the chaos.

And we've been told there are two wolves in the Diamond team, responsible for the deaths of Giles and Castiel, both dramatic in execution.

Removing Ani, Giles, and Koby from the equation, and with Ani speaking for Bob, this is who remains:

August Moreau (witch)
Adrian Chase (superhero)
Armand (vampire)
Betty Cooper
Caroline Forbes (vampire)
Clark Kent
Danny Johnson (murderer)
Devon Rex (witch)
Emmrich Volkarin (necromancer)
Hawkins Fuller
Jackie Taylor
Kate Bishop (superhero)
Nat Scatorccio (arsonist)
The OA (angel)
Ren O'Neill (superstrength)
Roza Zaripova
Spike (vampire)
Wanda Maximoff

[personal profile] kobes 2025-10-06 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I appreciate the show of confidence, Silco, but I haven't been ruled out. I'm an empath with some telepathy and compulsion powers. I should be added back.

With respect, he's right.

If we don't also seriously consider ourselves, there's no point in this council.
corporeity: (032)

[personal profile] corporeity 2025-10-06 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree. However, compulsion seems at play in Paul's death, not the two in which Diamonds are presently implicated.

Agreed. We should keep our focus on those while the pool's been reliably narrowed.

Having said that [ what he just said to Ani ] we need to focus on these specific killings. I don't think the power you've described is reflected in what happened to Giles. Do you see any trace of it in Castiel's death?
kobes: ([:|] wary)

[personal profile] kobes 2025-10-06 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't, no. If anything I could see compulsion in line with Paul's death -- no signs of a struggle.

Giles and Castiel were both brutal, but I agree with the theory that Giles was an attack of passion and Castiel one of methodical calculation.

[personal profile] rehandle 2025-10-06 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Then we keep that in the back of our minds.

But while we have a reliable means to narrow the pool a little, I think we should keep our focus there. So the list is likely fine as it is for this vote. Agreed?

You sure it smelled more like magic to you?
Way I hear it, Paul was around last go around
Could be he knew his attacker. Knew how it was going to shape out.
He that kind of guy?

Wanda Maximoff is also a witch

[ A word he'd scoffed at her for once. He uses it now because she'd used it then - because he's learned better. ]

Neither of these killings reflect her power. Assuming people are able to use their abilities while they kill, we can rule her out too.
powerhungry: (pic#17695313)

[personal profile] powerhungry 2025-10-06 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
And what kind of attack would you call characteristic of her abilities?
rehandle: (buckybear7)

[personal profile] rehandle 2025-10-06 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing we've seen so far.

Her magic has very few limits. The only real guarantee is there would be no need for a weapon.

[personal profile] corporeity 2025-10-06 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not Roza?
I understand Jackie is one of the children amongst us.

Dom is my pupil. While he's terribly bright, his magic is juvenile, at present. Parisa also seems rather unlikely to have physically lifted Paul Atreides, which is the death in which we might suspect magic or compulsive elements.

Forgive me, but there is no vetting, at least not based on character. We are compelled to perform our roles here as we would in the commune.
What abilities does she have? Is she capable with weaponry?

I suppose it is possible the role of the wolf could activate the potential latent in an individual. He's young and emotional, however, so at the very least not suspect in Castiel's crime. (As a note, there is one here who feeds on the magic of others. Kai, on Clubs, but he would then claim that power for himself, to my understanding.)

August is one of my dearest friends and, unfortunately, incredibly powerful. I cannot rule him out, however much I would like to.

I've just got confirmation that the tip off about Castiel came second hand from a source within the Hearts. I'd guess we have the same name, but I'll check in with that person and contact you privately after.

The other says they caught the overheard the information from amongst the dispersing crowd. Has no way of identifying who it came from, but claims that whoever said it claimed to have seen the diamond fleeing the scene themselves.

Which would imply that person was awake during or shortly after the murders.


[ Which, from what he can tell, doesn't seem to be how that's supposed to works. ]
