[Video] ~Anonymous - Avenge my name~
I apologize for adding to the current noise, but -
To those involved in the riot: Honestly, as long as you're visible and loud enough for people to be well aware of your location, or aware of where each other is? That's for the better.
If there's any of you involved in it that actually do care about the fate of everyone trapped here, yourselves included, and aren't just out for attention or a free opportunity to break things - if someone goes quiet or out of sight of others, and you don't see them again, try to remember it. If there's another killing, it could help find out how the killer is ambushing people.
You want to annoy the author and break furniture - that I really don't have a problem with, as surprising as it might sound. But no-one here deserves what's been happening at these murders, and I do draw a line between breaking furniture and taking other prisoners of the Author's and torturing them to death. We're all trapped in this, and wasting time bickering and blaming each other isn't going to help anyone...
And the next victim could very well be one of you until this is stopped. Turn on us instead of the Author, and all you're doing is making it that much easier for you or someone you care about to end up suffering this.

Found anything on your end?

I need to check with someone more closely involved in the second victim - I saw the scene after the fact, but so far, both Shiki and Oz were drugged before they were killed. Neither of them showed any signs of restraints or a struggle. Same agent, same too-clean sort of crime scene, which implies the same killer despite the whiplash changes in methods and victims.
The changes in methods - ... I need to confirm something, but I think the killer is playing chameleon; they're mimicking different people in the Manor.
Everything was very carefully arranged and managed; the different victims make me even more convinced it's not personal. I suspect they're taking attacks of opportunity, which are hard to prevent with the way people here tend to scatter, and they work fast enough that as horrific as the crimes are, I'd say they're not giving themselves more of a window than an hour or two for their crimes. They've likely been paying attention to people's coming and going, as well - they're too careful about not leaving physical evidence to be careless, and have likely been planning this for some time; the opportunities may not be entirely random - some of it may be people's habits, or watching places people go to be alone. In all likelihood, the killer's had a way to monitor people in the Manor previously, either by some kind of electronic devices, magic, or surveillance -
Possible, if they're someone that can use the ductwork to their advantage; someone small, your size or maybe Kaito's, could get through it.
As much as the attacks aren't personal? They're enjoying this. They might have some kind of agenda they've convinced themself is what they're after, but it's what they want to do, or a compulsion they've been sitting on waiting for an opportunity.
Whoever we're looking for? I doubt they've made themselves very known... they might've spoken to people on occasion, but this probably isn't someone extremely social, they'd rather be overlooked or forgotten about. There probably won't be anyone that doesn't have a reason to know them, that will know anything about them except maybe a vague "there's a quiet person who keeps to themselves mostly off that way".
Re: [private]
--If our killer is using the ductwork then I suggest- as a precaution we turn the heater up so that no one can crawl through the ducts.
I'll check the list of residents for people we don't see often- though Mello is pretty sure he knows who it is-not that, that makes them the killer.

I'll throw what I've found at Mello; I meant to talk to him anyway - see if it matches his suspect.
