Day 1 | Murder in the Town Hall
As the crimson rays announcing dawn touched the erstwhile pristine marble flooring of the town hall, the town awoke to a grim scene. A deep red pool of blood had stained the marble, and nearby lay the mutilated body of @Crypt Cropt. And yet, he remained among the living for a few moments longer, feeling the life drain away from his body. In these last moments, he pulled out a revolver, ready to shoot @Bartacus Bartington in revenge - but this was not necessary, as @Bartacus Bartington was overcome by despair and cut his wrist, for his lover had been brutally murdered! Was this a mere lovers' spat, or was there a more sinister truth?
@Dennis the Menace was clearly of the opinion that the murderer - or perhaps, murderers - still ran free, and suggested that they burn the culprit at the stake, a suggestion met with great enthusiasm, for the sight of blood had awoken the bloodlust long suppressed in their souls. @Wyatt also suggested they elect a @Mayor to oversee matters of the town and aid in finding the culprits, and while this did not evoke as much of a response, no one objected to it, and hence it was decided that both matters would be taken care of at dusk through a fair vote.
