don't pull me, don't pull me down from the ceiling
They were all gathered around as the last clue fell from the case. Bastien waited eagerly to give them all a chance to look at what they had gained and think it over, unable to keep himself from excitedly grinning at Rex the whole time, somewhat ruining the illusion of her untimely death.
Once they had had about ten minutes to confer, he clapped his hands together. "Alright! I think all you amateur detectives have had long enough to work it out. Let's hear your guesses: though do not tell them to me. Write them on the slips of paper there, on the table." He pointed to a table by the door, where some pencils and thin bits of paper awaited the name of the supposed murderer.
...
Bastien gathered up the papers and read them; after a moment he turned to the guests with a wide grin on his face. "You have all selected the very same culprit, and I am proud to tell you you are correct. The heinous murderer of my dear wife was none other than....Melita!" He pointed an accusatory finger at the red-haired girl, marking her out as the criminal. "Apparently, her crime was obvious to you all. Perhaps I should craft better clues; I did not know I had such wonderful detectives."
With everyone congratulated (and Melita mock-arrested), Bastien helped Rexanna get up and poured out wine for everyone, toasting to one last fun drink before the horrors of Longnight began.
If only he knew how ironic this all would be...

I have PMed you all OOC for your guesses, since we need to wrap up for LN.
Everyone guessed Melita! And were right! ...I need to make harder puzzles.
I hope you all enjoyed this!
