{wanders back in, drink in hand} Now now, before we start threatening to kill people, I think we better search Abbey too... If you know what I mean {lears appropriately}

Ugh. Just what we need.
Fine, someone - besides you - may search me. I don't have a problem with that.

And you need to sober up.

I'll gladly search you, don't worry, I will be a fine gentlemen.

And yes, he does, how long do you think he will take to sober up if we toss him out into that storm. :: Looks out into the storm through a window as lightning struck a tree nearby and destroyed it. ::

Geez. I leave the room to get ONE drink, and all of a sudden i'm the village drunkard eh? If i could see straight, I'd whack you with my cane!

Well, if you could walk straight, then we wouldn't think that now, would we.

I suggest Ms. Foxx search Abby, seeing as how the hunter cleared her name before his death, I think we can trust her.

As for your plan, that's exactly what I suggested the other day. I still suspect Nick.

This so beneath me. **Takes Abby into another room, returns** Well, no marks of any kind on her.

I do agree with Abby, I have suspected Staplic from the beginning. I did not want to say anything because I had no reason. Just a feeling. Now I think he has been a little quick to accuse. Mr. Nick, I think is just a thief, nothing else.

As for drinking, if I could find someone who could make a decent martini, I doubt I would be sober either.

I personally don't drink, so I don't see why he would, but that's just because of my background, I mean you can't pick a pocket if you can't stand straight. Oh BTW, did anyone lose a gold time piece. Quite nice design, if not I think I'll keep it.

:: Takes out time piece and taps glass :: Well, looks like the thing's batteries died.

Great, we have a drunk and an active thief. Could this get any... not gonna say it.

And yes, Mr. Staplic, you did say something of the sort. I was just forced to repeat it because as we wait, we are dying, and no one seems to be willing to do a damn thing about it.

*sighs*

I'm willing, but I know that nobody trusts me, so saying it would just put my head on the chopping block, which is not a fun place to be.

So, would we like to vote on who will go, I trust foxx, and for some reason I trust abby, I'm not entirely sure why, just a feeling. The drunk I'm a little weary of, and Staplic, no offense intended, you seem a bit off.

I don't want to be the first to vote, I will just repeat that I have been suspicious of Staplic from the beginning. And nothing has changed my mind about that.

As for Mr. Nick, have you seen my diamond earrings?

If you will not be the first to vote, then I will, I vote on Staplic, he has perked my curiosity since the beginning. If anyone would like to support this, then go ahead.

And about those earings, I would check the left side of your armoire drawer, the top one, tonight.

I will vote with you Mr. Nick for Mr. Staplic.

**Aside** I knew someone was going through my stuff!

I have no particularly strong feelings either way. I was going to vote with Staplic against Nick on the grounds that if Staplic is wrong about Nick, we can decide against him next. However, I can also vote about Staplic and see what happens to Nick.
