Another name to cross off the list was all that Hunter could think of. Just how many people were the Werewolves going to tear through till they felt satisfied? In fact, how many people were guilty of such a crime? Those who were innocent most likely did not know who any of the werewolves were, but was it possible that the werewolves knew who each other were? With so many questions and little time, Hunter had to start lowering the number of people quickly. To him, he just needed to survive and make sure he chose his words and actions carefully.
First, himself. Hunter was known to very few students even at Hogwarts. Those that did know him knew he was skilled in potions and excelled in all his classes, a bookworm, and an example of the stereotypical house Ravenclaw. Either people wouldn't notice him like a ghost, or he'd be seen as suspicious for his quiet nature. Little to no one would be able to back him up to his own claim that is just his usual self. Also, staying quiet wouldn't support any findings Hunter could think of. Being in the background could only get one so far, but potentially not to the end. Whether Hunter liked it or not, he had to speak with others and form connections within the crew.
Next was to try and identify who to trust and who to suspect being a werewolf in this game. Already they lost one person, but the biggest suspicion and assumption would have to be that there was most likely more than one werewolf. To work alone is less likely to work well, and even if there was only one werewolf Hunter just needed to make sure he wasn't a suspect. So his paranoia fell on those who voted for Sophia. Those with similar votes were most likely in cahoots with each other. The thought that Sophia was a werewolf in this game came to mind, but Hunter would focus more on that thought later. He needed to know who to vote on.
Hunter's ears perked at the comments a young Indian boy had stated. Hunter had never seen the boy, but then again he rarely recognized the faces of his own housemates on some days. Closing his book, he decided to partake in conversation to form some bonds at least: "I believe you're asking the wrong questions here sir. Whether it is a werewolf or not isn't the issue. If you'd like to say murderer then go ahead; yet, the question isn't what killed but who or even whom killed." Hunter quietly walked and spoke in a monotoned voice, quiet in nature with politeness to add. His expression seemed bored and tired, curious to what will be said next. His eyes drifted off the boy he spoke towards, and eventually landed on Pax Zhang. A voter for Sophia, and one who took grand action to step up and announce punishment needing to be required. Hunter's eyes felt uneasy about Pax, despite the little who knew about them.

Really it should have come as no surprise to Bea that someone else had died. This ship seemed doomed and as the girl cleared the main deck to see who had been viciously attacked, a sinking feeling grew in the pit of her stomach. Maybe it should just come up and swallow her too? A serial killer, or more, was on the loose.
What she should really be questioning was how Sophia got nine votes for leader?! She'd only known her housemate through dueling, but still it seemed perhaps, a little suspicious...Perhaps there was more than one killer, and they wanted to be in control of everything? Have their eyes and ears everywhere? Questions rolled through her head, one by one.
Closing her eyes as she reached the edge of the ship, she let the waves rock her into a sense of calmness. Perhaps, with others help, she could figure out who was killing them all? She had heard whispers going around that it was a werewolf? That kind of made sense, what with the vicious attacks and all. At least her dueling strategy practice would come in handy.
Eyeing the others on the deck, Bea felt suspicion creep upon her. Most of them she didn't know, except for Monica, who thankfully was still in the game. What made it even harder was the others were all making characters up for this game, ensuring that the others really didn't know who was who, even if you were friends. Bea's eyebrows scrunched down as she witnessed one by off to the side Hunter Argentum. He was quiet, maybe a little too quiet? Another boy was speaking Italian if she wasn't mistaken a few paces away. She mentally noted them both. It really was too soon to tell who the killer could be. Maybe Monica could help. Deciding that was what she was going to do next, the redheaded girl went on the look-a-bouts for her friend.

Had he heard of this type of game before? "A bit," he responded to Miss Wynn. "There's a similar game in Japan involving demons, but I haven't really played it much, so I wouldn't consider myself experienced at all," he responded. Because he usually didn't have time for games.Roleplaying as Akira Shimizu from Mahoutokoro
When Miss Wynn mentioned that she hoped she wasn't the wolf, Akira was inclined to believe her. Miss Wynn didn't particularly strike him as someone thirsty for blood, attention, or the nerves or thrill (whichever you so choose) that came with the role. For some, it would be nerve-racking to lie and deceive one's peers. It was not something that came naturally or easily to Akira, either, but he would do so if he believed he must. "I suppose I wouldn't mind either way," he mused thoughtfully. "I just think a game is meant to be exciting when played, and no matter how taxing it would be to be a wolf, I'd rather get the opportunity to be one just to see what it's like."
"Oh of course, feel free to be the slightly odd aunt, by all means," he said hurriedly as Emma tossed the idea out. "No need for us all to be siblings; surely, we'd need a strange older lady to keep any siblings in order," he suggested with a small smile, inwardly admonishing himself to making a suggestion too hastily before asking his peers what ideas they had first.
Afterwards, he turned his attention to the 'dead captain', and the rest of the 'crew'. The boy who had woefully approached the dead captain (Pierre) supposed that anyone who voted for the blue-haired girl was suspicious. Akira remembered that he had cast a vote for the girl, and was obligated to speak. "I understand that who we voted for as leader is one of the only ways to separate people at this point, since we know so little about each other," he began. "But, what could possibly be some of the reasons people such as yourself acquired votes, anyway? People naturally tend to vote for the ones who draw more attention-" he glanced at Bluemane's blue hair at this point "with their appearance and theatrics." If anything, Pierre was an energetic boy and actor. Maybe that was why Akira himself got no votes. "So, I don't think who we voted for is the best example of who's a wolf and who's not." Maybe this boy was just sour he ultimately didn't get chosen.
"However," he continued, "the girl who had just died -- Aryaan Shamsi had been talking to her beforehand, was he not? I had seen him approach her and begin chatting. However, the girl -- Rita, was her name? -- didn't respond at all. If anyone had a motive to kill Rita, he would be the only one I can think of to have one." Really, he didn't quite see how else to explain a vote for any other person, other than unfounded 'feelings' or suspicions. And time was almost up. Well, he'd made his vote clear. No dilly-dallying.

Nessie didn't want anybody to die - not the captain, nor the most recent casualty, nor any of the other crew. What had seemed like fun and games when she'd signed up now felt a lot scarier than she'd bargained for. Surely, none of these people would kill, right? Nessie wanted to believe the best of everyone around her, but the reality contradicted her naive ideas.
If she had to come to terms with what was happening, then she couldn't help but wonder. What if she was next? Or worse, what if she wasn't, and had to watch others be eliminated around her? The latter sounded even more nightmarish for the gentle, shy young Hufflepuff.
What was happening now was almost worse than just waiting to find out who'd live and who'd die. At least when the bodies turned up, Nessie's conscience was clear. But now, asked to vote, she froze. What if she was wrong? What was worse: to risk framing an innocent, or to spare someone and let them continue to kill if they were responsible for the violence?
Others were already discussing the possibilities, but Nessie hardly knew any of them. She naturally gravitated a little closer to the other kids around her age. One of them (Akira) suggested a possible culprit, and Nessie followed his logic. But still, she thought it felt wrong to vote for anybody without hearing their side. "I - I'd like to hear from those accused," she ventured, though she was still unnerved by the whole experience so her request was quite quiet.

Charles stayed to the side with the three. Emma, Astrid, and Akira as the blonde started to wonder how he would do this... he never had been that great at acting or playing pretend. He didn't have a vivid imagination as a child, often doing lessons or practicing with a broom so being creative is often a challenge for the blonde.
With the roles, Charles offered Akira a nod. Agreeing with the lad as he spoke"I agree with that, games are so suppose to feel exciting and interesting so even through being a wolf spends intimidating or er- taxing. I would take the opportunity as well to see how it's like, as well," Pretending to be an character looked different than lying to one's peers. The blonde looked out, would he have been better lying to them instead of playing a character? The blonde shook back his hair, shaking the thought from his mind as he looked to what he got instead and having fun with the three.
At the mention of characters, Charles took note on the blue haired captain and Romeo's brother. Both taken on characters then to Emma's words, smiling halfway, letting Akira speak first before saying"I won't mind you being an strange aunt," wondering how Emma would pertain that in his mind, "The siblings would need someone to keep them in order and all." The blonde felt his eyes travel the ship as more were taking on characters and alias's which got Charles thinking he should to. Letting them three; Akira, Emma, and Astrid decide on details or an surname as he worked out his characters story for the game.
Forming his character, the blonde didn't think they would wear a jacket. Pulling off the leater, the blonde offered it to Astrid as he spoke"care to wear it for the game? I don't think my character would." The blonde is protective of it but he trusted Astrid, one of the few actually whom he trusted with the jacket.
Ben. An muscular teenager boy with comebed back blonde hair, standing at a height close to 6 feet. Dressed in all black with a pair of round rimmed glasses (that Charles found amist of the boat props) with his hands held loosely in the depths of his jean pockets.
Ben have called the village home for of his life, the village where he lived with his aunt and two siblings ever since their parents befallen an ship wreck.
Towering over their aunt, an blonde with an vibrant personality that Ben loved and grew protective over. Always offering assistance or to help with tasks especially since he considered himself the strongest among his siblings.
His sister, a girl of white hair and curiosity whom Ben was close to and lived eith every inch of his heart. Unafraid to put himself between her and danger, one of the reasons for leaving on the ship was to protect her actually.
His brother, an raven hair lad, quite close in years but such an large difference in personality. His brother had the brains, an analytical mind that could go places but when it came to brute strength... Ben often thought he had to protect his intelligent yet noddle arm brother.
The teen dreamed of becoming an writer, publishing book worldwide. Traveling the world's, writing down his adventures... that sounded like a dream to the blonde. Often, at the village if he wanted helping another then he could be found with his eyes to a book. Writing. Through the years of that, the blonde learned a couple languages from his days of reading and writing.
Joining the Chaos Demon, Ben stuck with his family especially after the death of the captain. Wanting to protect them, not imagining an day without them.
The new day, brought screams of one of the crew announcing another death? Ben would looked over at his family, swallowing a tad as he attempted an British accent as he spoke"another death? Bloody hell, this ship feels just as dangerous as back at the village," gathering with the others. Brushing his hair back when he saw who died, an unfamiliar girl to him but still not a pretty sight... the blonde felt awlful for her, who would kill a human? Let alone an girl?
Following the others, keeping with the three as he listened to the accusations. Romeo's twin- wait no... Walter? Wasn't it? Walter accused an silent girl hur seemed to have translations problems, Ben felt for him. Wondering if he could help. The blue haired captain, what was her name again? Anyway, she was drinking something from a bottle and asking everyone what they seen... the blonde had a good memory at least he thought he did.
Akira- wait no... his brother, yeah his brother. Alright, separating people from their characters posed to be a challenge. Anyway, his brother accused an boy who was the last to speak to the victim. Seemed to have good reasons plus he knew of his brother's intelligence, he trusted him as he spoke"He strikes up good points and while he doesn't seem the first strong or seaworthy, he-er my brother is one of the most intelligent mates you'll find." The blonde decided to side with him, although he didn't want to rush into a vote his mind couldn't stray away from his family being next...

Bubba could already see where this was going. It was like going to be like Alien but on a pirate ship. He just hoped he didn't have to fulfill the role of Kane in this recreation, he hadn't packed any Pepto Bismol. Maybe that wasn't quite right though, it might be more Event Horizon. All he knew was that being stuck on a ship with Hunter certainly felt like its own version of hell. He supposed it could also be something straight out of The Silence of Lambs. Maybe he was a bit biased but poisoning him had certainly embued Hunter with some Hannibal Lecter-like qualities in Bubba's mind. Still, the taught suspense, the atmosphere of mistrust, and the accusatory looks people flashed to each other, it was more psychological, a Hitchcockian thriller where the true horror was left to your own imagination. He made a mental note to stay away from the showers, not that he'd really found any yet. Still, this way most like a good old fashion game of Clue. Who would it be? Would it be Hunter with the lead pipe in the conservatory? Hunter with the wrench in the Billiard Room? Hunter with the candlestick in the Dining Room (so cliche)? Hunter with the dagger in the study? Sophia - just kidding - Hunter with the revolver in the kitchen? The possibilities were endless. All Bubba knew was that it definitely had to be Hunter.
Sure, to most people Hunter probably seemed like a perfectly normal, maybe a little quiet,man. But Bubba knew the truth, Bubba knew his deep dark secret. Hunter was a monster. Bubba had been married once, to a beautiful wife named Sienna. And then Hunter had taken her away from him. What a little asshole he was. Hunter knew full well (or should've known) that it was hands on sight between him and Bubba from now on. Still, Bubba did have some sense of decorum. He would get back at Hunter within the rules, and he fully expected Hunter to be a wolf anyway, so it was time to get to work.
Bubba emerged onto the deck to find a grizzly scene. It was like being on the set of Taggart without being in Scotland. It appeared there had been another Mordor in the middle of the night. He didn't know much more about the girl other than the fact that her name was Rita. And look who was there, returning to the scene of the crime. Hunter. Bubba walked up behind Hunter and whispered so that only he could hear, "Well, well, well... Hunter... you've gone too far this time."

Looking through all the crew members on board, Pax knew they couldn't properly trust any of them. They'd cast a vote for Sophia becaue they knew Sophia to be level-headed and calmer in a crisis. But clearly, Sophia was not the one who had joined them on board. This was somebody else, and they didn't knew if they liked them.
From the suspicious glances that were cast at them, they could feel the tension rising. Because they'd dared to speak up, they were now seemingly suspicious. And they could see where they were coming from. Being vocal in a game like this was always risky.
There was always the suspicions that Sophia or whatever their alter-ego was named and them were working together. So, in an even riskier move, Pax moved back and sat on the box, talking to whoever would listen.
"Ok. Yes, I am vocal in my opinions, and that is not going to change. This game needs somebody vocal. To answer any questions you may be thinking, I voted for them-" They pointed at the blue-haired newly appointed leader. "Because their usual persona is calmer and more level-headed. But I don't know much about this persona they have currently. So do I regret it? Maybe a little, yeah. Secondly, you don't want to vote me off. Believe it or not, I have an important role. I'm the protector. I protected myself last night because I felt, as I was vocal, the wolves may come for me. They did not. Yet. I know many suspect me this round, and it is a risk to say my role. The hunter can check me if they'd like. There's a chance werewolves will pretend to be the protector, so that is up to you to make a decision on who you believe. This round, I am going to either protect myself yet again, in case the wolves do decide to target me after I've said this information, or..."
They looked around, seeing who looked like they didn't trust them, but also wasn't so suspicious themselves. There were several people who seemed to look at them with caution. However, one Gryffindor seemed to assess their actions, incredibly careful and calculating, with careful eyes. Xailah Alptraum was a known prefect, and an elder student. Many would probably trust her judgement, and if she ruled to vote them off the ship they would likely be a goner.
"Xailah Alptraum. You seem to distrust me, and you have fair reason to do so. So I offer two options, to protect myself or to protect Xailah. I will decide when the time comes what I think is best suited. Ideally, we will both survive, and I will tell you who I voted for. If only one of us survives, it will be clear who the vote was cast for. I give two options so the wolves do not know directly to target. But, as for who to walk the plank, I am information-less. It seems split between Aryaan Shamsi and Aurelia Notresvace. It may be both, or maybe neither. This round, we have little to go on apart from a gut feeling, and mere observations. I will cast my vote accordingly. So, the rest is up to you."
They sat back, letting everyone else discuss and observe. They'd said their long piece. Their opinion was subject to change, but for now, they were content with what they'd said.Vote: Aryaan Shamsi
(I have checked with Kim if I can talk about roles, which I can, so it's up to you if I'm lying or not)

Her eyes scanned each person on board, trying to see if she could see anyone suspicious. Well, truthfully everyone was suspicious in some way or another. In a game like this, you couldn't trust anyone. But one of them (Akira) definitely raised some very valid points about Aryaan, "That is true. It's definitely quite suspicious that the girl, Rita, had died right after Aryaan had spoken to her and had received no response," Vivienne said, "the rejection could've very well been Aryaan's motive to murder Rita."
"Not just that, but when someone had said it was a werewolf who was doing these killings, he seemed to get quite offended. Which is suspicious, is it not?" She looked around the group as she spoke before continuing, "Why would someone be so adamant about defending werewolves if they themselves weren't a wolf doing the killing?" When she finished speaking, she let the others absorb her words and make a decision for themselves, but Vivienne's mind was already made up. Aryaan was incredibly suspicious to her.Vote: Aryaan Shamsi

— I won't mind you being an strange aunt. The siblings would need someone to keep them in order and all.
— I think Akira is more responsible but I'd still rather have an aunt than an uncle.
Then came the time to think about his character. Astrid thought of several different characters but she ended up eliminating some because of her small size and her very soft voice despite her personality. She ended up elaborating a character named Ella, the youngest of three siblings.
— Care to wear it for the game? I don't think my character would.
— I don't think I would either. But I can take it and put it somewhere.
Having two older brothers is not always easy. Especially when one of them - Ben - is almost overprotective of me. I know very well that it's because I decided to get on this boat that he got on too. I'm less close to my other brother but I love them both.My name is Ella and I got on this boat because of my thirst for adventure. My older brother felt compelled to follow me and my other brother and aunt followed I guess. In any case, the four of us found ourselves on this boat with a sad reputation, in the middle of a crew and passengers in which werewolves are currently hiding. They had already claimed two victims.
On discovering Rita's corpse this morning, a boy had directly announced that he suspected a 16-year-old girl. Personally, I find this suspicious. You don't accuse someone directly because they haven't spoken yet unless you are trying to hide something.
— Another death? Bloody hell, this ship feels just as dangerous as back at the village
Astrid stifled a burst of laughter when she heard Charles in the role of Ben. His attempt at a British accent was quite unsuccessful.
— I'm sorry... It's just that the accent with the backstory...
Trying to get out of character as little as possible, Astrid continued as Ella. Forgetting the accent stuff.
I also came here because our home village was less and less safe and I couldn't stand having to be careful all the time that nothing happens to me, even to go to my neighbour's house!
— It's true that it's starting to get weird. If it goes on like this, it will be worse than in the village.
I was getting a bit scared - and Astrid was really struggling to keep a straight face - so I listened to my brothers talk about who could have done this. It was terrible. Several people getting together at night to kill someone. I wouldn't say it, but at that moment I was willing Ben to be overprotective.
— I vote the same as you but it just takes me a while to get to know everyone a bit to guess who is lying and who is not.
