Tara slowly walked back to the Living Room; this was taking way too long.  She was within earshot of the room long enough to hear everyone talk about how they had found nothing.  All she had was a few ideas about who had not done it.  She glanced over at Sara and breathed a sigh of relief at her apparent good health.

Stu walked back into the Living Room, his eyes still red from what he found down there. His wife was gone. He sat down without talking to anyone, feeling like everything was unreal. He just needed to get out of here...

Samantha hold out a Diary, "I just found it on my search and maybe it can help us if we look at it." she said.

Simon's Diary!

As I sit to write this entry the house is in complete chaos. The other guests seem to think Mr. Manners was murdered and maybe he was. If that is the case, then the murderer is one smart cookie. He or she is a strategist just like myself. Now I think I may want to meet this person, if such a person exists. The house guests also think they will find a way to call for help. I doubt that will happen, I mean this place doesn’t have a TV. They should put those kinds of things on the website or the brochures. Seriously, I could be at some resort relaxing, but also preparing for my next tournament. How am I supposed to train without a TV and no internet, the only thing I could train for is how to not go crazy trapped in this house with all these other people. In all honesty I am glad the guy is dead, he cant keep up with the future so now he’s out of the picture. With that I conclude for now, I better go see what my housemates are up to now. We don’t need any more bodies on us.
I would also like to voice my suspicions for  that Stu guy, he seems a little to calm about this, or rather not freaked out about it, and thinks that Mr. Manners died. A little diversion maybe so he wouldn’t be suspected.

Things have gotten quite interesting since I last wrote. I wandered to the study and found what I believe to be Alejandro’s English Language journal he uses to help him learn the language. Another house mate found his dairy, and in it, it said that Alejandro was trying to get enough money to bring his mom and sister to the states. Now that may be a motive, but even if Mr. Manners had told Alejandro where the money was (if it was even in the house, which is likely, Mr. Manners probably doesn’t trust banks) Alejandro probably wouldn’t have understood him. Abigale is quite brave to be searching the body for evidence, could it be that she is trying to cover her own tracks in some way. There was one girl who wasn’t much help, I could feel her looking at me, but avoided her, because girls like that are only after one thing. The others seemed to be concerned about spider webs, while it is odd, it just means the place hasn’t been kept up, but why? 
Simon grew hungry and decided to head down to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
 

No 3

A lot has happened since my last entry. I am beginning to feel a bit nervous. How can I rest and prepare for my next gaming competition when dead bodies keep turning up. If it were up to me , I would pool everyone together and start asking them questions. Someone has to know something and the murderer is still at foot. Clara is looking rather suspicious as she was the only one downstairs with Cyndi. Poor Stu, I still don’t know about that guy. Come to think of it there are those 3 girls, Tara, Clara, and Sara…what if they are all in on something together. I must investigate this further. With that I leave you to searchRoom 5  hoping to find answers.

Kyle walked back to the living room to rejoin the others. He was in time to hear Samantha read out a diary, but there didn't seem to be any useful information in there. It sounded like a regular diary, with nothing to help them in their search for the person behind all of this.

"I saw nothing this time," Kyle said after Samantha had finished. "No clues, or anything weird."

It was kind of annoying to not have anything to report back. They needed to get to the bottom of this before more people were killed.

Abigale entered the living room. Almost everyone was already here. She sat down in her usual chair and listened to people talk. It was weird hearing diary entries that someone who was still alive had written. Usually they are already dead. She cringed thinking about death, remembering poor Cyndi's body.

"I found Cyndi's body..." Stated Abigale. She looked nervously over at Stu, not wanting to upset him, but the rest of the group deserved to know what she saw. "She was laying on the ground. She had bruises on her neck and a big gash in the side of her head. There was a piece of wood lying next to her, with blood on the end." Abigale cringed again remembering the scene.

"Just a plank of wood? Not, like, a chair leg ripped from a table or something?" Bethany asked. Where would the murderer just find a plank of wood? "Which room was she in when she died? Who else was with you at the time?"

"It's a basement and a workshop. It was a 2 x 4? I think. I'm not good with that kind of stuff." Answered Abigale. "And Stu was there too, but he was too upset to do much I think."

A plank of wood and more bruises? Means someone has strong hands and a good amount of muscle. Does that mean killer is male or will that be just a stereotype?

Alejandro didn't want to think about it, but her death opens up a lot of opportunities. "Ken and I stay in basement. Ken is a gardener. Fences are made of wood." Breathing heavily, "Someone could just take advantage of situation to frame, too. What do we do?"

"If anyone has found anything at all, I think they need to say what they found, maybe we can use it like a puzzle piece. all the clues together will help us solve this., sadly the only thing i found was the diary and it did not help us." Samantha said

Simon looked around the room and did a mental head count and noticed there were 3 people not in the living room. He spoke up, " has anyone seen Mr. Crabtree, Ken, or Clara." "I wonder where they are in the house since they are not here in the living room with the rest of us."

Tara kept quietly to herself, listening in on what everyone had found, or not found.  She hadn't found anything in particular that was helpful.  Tara's ears perked up when Simon mentioned the people who had not come back yet and Clara's name was among them.

"Have any of you seen her?" Sara asked.

Tara left to search the house.

Simon left to search the house.

Sara left to search the house. 

Alejandro left to search the house.

Samantha left to search for clues

Since three people hadn't come back yet, Bethany thought it would be a good idea to try to find them in their rooms. It was an obvious place to look, but Bethany didn't have any other idea where to start searching. 

Since the last injured person was found in the basement- Ken's room- she thought others would search there; if Ken was in there, others would find him. This left searching Mr. Crabtree's room and Clara's room. 

Bethany chose at random. "Maybe we should search the fifth room, Kyle. Maybe Clara's hiding there?" Bethany said as she left the living room.

As everyone slowly filled out of the living room, Stu stood up and left to search the house. He couldn't just sit here and do nothing. He needed to find out who had killed his wife.

Kyle nodded in response to Bethany's suggestion and followed her to the fifth room. It was better to stick together. And besides, they had only ended up randomly searching the same place last time anyway.

Simon made his way back to the Living Room.  He had seen Clara come out just as he was entering the basement. He thought it was suspicious she had been down there that long and didn't come back to the living room, and no one has seen Ken in awhile. He grew very suspicious of Clara.

I suspect Clara of killing Cyndi and possibly Ken as he is no where to be found.

Making his way back to the living room to meet up with everyone else, Kyle was in time to hear Simon's accusation. Kyle frowned, uncertain, and then he remembered the two clues he had found in the room he had searched.  

"I found these in Sara, Clara and Tara's room," he said as he held them out. A vial of pink nailpolish and a nearly-empty roll of twine.

Abigale entered the living room and sat in her normal chair. No one was really here yet except for Simon and Kyle, who was holding out pink nail polish and twine.

"What are those for?" She questioned. She understood nail polish, what girl didn't love nail polish? But twine? Why the heck would someone bring twine with them? And Clara being a murderer? Maybe she could be. "We haven't seen her in a long time and she was down in the basement when Cyndi was murdered..."

=D Everyone can pretend they were back in the room already for Simon's accusation, so we're not having to repeat stuff. ^^

"Where did you find my nailpolish?" Sara asked, looking into Kyle's hands. "And why would any of us bring twine? Couldn't someone plant that in our room to frame Clara?"
