...Very well.
[He's been brooding silently in the corner most of the day, but he's serious now.]
I did promise if evidence of another player came to light, I would speak. Here is what occurred, and I will endeavor in my description not to attempt to deceive you into believing in my perfidious glory.
I was out towards the fence in the morning...I could not say the precise time, but it cannot have been long after May Chang was rendered unconscious, as I have been alerted by the sounds of a conflict by the ears of the Dark Gods.
I came upon the chapel, and first found Beat lying with the kunai in his throat. The pool of blood discovered was his location. I then found May Chang and Xiao Mei against the western wall, unconscious.
I took a few moments to consider my actions. Then, I removed my cloak and button-down and took to sabotage. I brought the corpse to the wall and shot it. I then carried the corpse to the altar and made the wounds - I slit his throat, struck his shoulder, and then lodged the kunai in the gunshot wound. I left him by the altar so he would be visible from outside.
I then removed my bandages and cleaned the blood caused by my gunshot and attempted to clean some of the residue from the conflict with May. The pews were arranged as they would be ordinarily; I moved one against the wall and another to disguise the bloodstain I could not clean with the bandages.
The Dark Gods kept watch this entire time. None approached, to my knowledge...they surely would have alerted me had this been the case.
Finally, I left for the pond. I was there only briefly, to throw in the bandages, to hide the gun, and to redress. I returned and lay in wait in the woods near the chapel. Therefore, there was only a window of perhaps ten minutes following my actions when another party could have approached, and an even shorter window prior to my discovery.
I trust that is sufficiently clear.

[Poland likes you all unfocused and hyperactive just the same Stiles.] So it doesn't have any weird side effects at all?
...Beat, May, Gundam, and a fourth. We're up to four people fiddling about or creating the crime scene.
[Susan sounds grim.]
Is that very important, do you think? We know someone used a drug. Unless they still have it on them, which would be quite silly, we can't say definitively that identifying the thing-that-isn't-poison will be helpful.

...Do you think that would suffice to get a prize?
Hmm...
[And then he smiles, and laughs a little as well.]
Ahaha.
What better a way to ensure one is not the target then to have another commit the deed? It was always their intention to have May Chang or Beat kill one another.

I believe it could still make a person culpable.
I... shall consult Miss Doris.

I guess that rules out getting the Eucharist then.
[You can't even safely drink out of holy cups now. This house is terrible.]

Excuse me... Could controlling the faculties of another... that is to say, to use someone else as a tool... would that person be considered culpable for the crime by controlling the actions, even if they did not commit them?
Have you heard of a drug that can turn someone into...this? If it was just hallucinogenic maybe, but like you said, red eyes and psychopathy isn't exactly common. Whatever this thing is, the killer had access to it. If it actually is one of the deadweight poisons then yeah, dead end. But if it's not, figuring out where the killer got it from might help narrow it down.
Goodness, it's a little early for this, isn't it?
Listen, dear. Murder is very simple. It involves an intent and an act. But what type of intent, and what type of act is all a little bit philosophic.
Just vote for someone and we'll see.

[ Words do not even describe how relieved she is right now. ]

[ She returns in a few minutes. She's smiling. It looks... almost arrogant. ]
Intent and act are all that matters, she says.

Not if the door won't open.

A true villain indeed. It seems my beliefs have been proven wrong-headed.
But there is someone who will pay for this. And I believe it is likely to be that very someone who sent May Chang to the chapel.

So like it wouldn't be bad enough to make his eyes all blood shot then? [Stiles is the go to person for anatomy questions. Granted probably mostly lower anatomy, but still.]
And there's none missing?
And there's none missing?
I... am sorry... for what I said to you yesterday. Not even for a moment have I ever thought you a coward. But if it meant delaying the vote even a minute longer...
[ She looks troubled, like she's struggling for what to say. ]

[Susan nods in response, a faint smile coming to her own lips.]
Murderous intent. Only one person involved wanted someone to die - Beat wasn't in control of his faculties and May simply wished to stave him off.
Even if this 'game' disagrees with us in a technical sense... I think all of us would say that the true murderer, regardless of what happened physically, was the one who dosed Beat with the drug.
