#murder event.

i saw someone hanging outside the mines who was quick to scurry off when i tried to talk to them. it wasn't someone i was familiar with, and they were acting rather suspicious if you ask me.

Oh dear me — could it be the person that’s throwing those rocks through everyone’s windows ? The KILLER ? I fear if I speak out more I’ll be next, and I can’t afford another window installation ! I spend far too much on my grandchildren... hopefully that carpenter would give me a discount for all the hard work I do for the Valley by posting these things !

so... the three main suspects all got notes from the murderer... can’t decide if that makes them more or less sus than before...

Well — I wasn’t aware Finley was considered to be a main suspect considering their alibi, but it is curious that both Alex and Jillian got notes just as the tone started to shift towards Joja. It could be the murderer pointing us away from them, or them pointing us away from them. Or someone pointing towards them to frame them. Or completely irrelevant and unrelated !

I’ve made a little mistake in my poll making, what I like to call a whoopsie daisy. If you’ve already voted in the last poll, vote in this new one — and if you haven’t voted at all, then pretend you never saw me make mistakes. Respect your elders ! Here’s the link.

this might be a real tinfoil hat moment, but i keep thinking about 'ismail stole something from me' and the notices for missing items that have appeared on the notice board lately - particularly matty's lucky hat and lizzie's silver earrings. they seem like things the owners would actually miss.

I think you might be onto something — now, I don’t know what use Ismail would have for a lucky hat or some earrings, but if he indeed stole from them ... then they could very well become our next suspects ! Especially now that Lizzie has fled, we should maybe be worried about Art’s safety. Now, this might be me stacking my tinfoil hat atop yours, but who’s connected to both Matty and Lizzie and has been calling everything suspicious ? Kiran.

i wasn’t even considering them before but art and lizzie skipping town is extremely sus...

That’s two for the Stardew Valley runaways — lets play a new game: Where in the World are Art and Lizzie ? Let’s hope they’re having the time of their lives instead of ending someone else’s ...

ALL SIGNS POINT TO ART! he was so defensive, and his alibi is weak. i just hope he doesn't kill lizzie now that they've fled

Art acting alone is certainly an interesting theory. That’s three for him — and maybe you can start a prayer circle for her safety.

it’s horrible, but i almost hope it does turn out to be lauren

Hoping is a little much for my taste ... but with her track record in accusations, I’m not surprised she’s racking them up for herself. That’s number two for her !

it's either aurora or lauren

And that’s two for Aurora and three for Lauren — was it the spurned ex lover or the desperate reporter !

jillian or alex

Our fourth nominations for Alex and Jillian, and I’m running out of clever things to say. It seems to me like they’re the talk of the town as far as suspects go ! 

Anonymous said to dewgossip:

jillian or alex or both of them

And then number five for both of them. Isn’t it tragic ?

i think sofia could have done it she acts so strange in the group chat and looks the most guilty especially after finding the book 🧐

Sofia should know by now, especially with nomination number one, that she can’t hide her knowledge of the macabre and her strangeness forever... in fact, it just might implicate her !
