Yeah it wasn't Amber, it was me. And everyone thought it wouldn't be Pandora but look at how wrong you were. HA. I told you I could be the killer. Done now.

I'm alive! I would have liked to have been the murderer, but I'm happy that I'm still there. But if I get killed off in the last chapter, I'm going to run away crying. I'm never anything big in murder mysteries, and this is the first time I've really been in one. Don't ruin my dreams. (:
But if I did die, I would most like to be killed by Celinra and her katana.

Oh very good, very good.
I'm much surprised with PJ though, that was unexpected. I knew Pandora had to be involved in SOME way, but way you shocked me there.
Keep it up, can't wait for the final installment.

I demand a good reason for the murders. None of this power-hungry nonsense. Make me insane, or have some kind of wacky grudge against Lemony Snicket and am getting back at him by slaughtering fans. Or something.

Interesting. Very interesting.
And at least one of them, PJ, has a good reason. Possibly two. I forget... my conversations with Akbar on this subject were so long ago.

Uh, just in case you were mistaken, I was addressing you, not referring to you. Although I may still have been referring to you. Akbar was always careful never to provide me with names.

"The files, please, Ennui." said Dante. Ennui handed him a large book with silver covers. The pandemonium in the boxes and rows had been stopped by two clones. PJ, Celinra and Pandora now sat in the corner, near a pillar that arched up to support the roof. They were tied up. Pandora's moderator robe had been taken away and she sat in the dingy shadow wearing only jeans and a sleeveless top, shivering occasionally. PJ's control box had been taken away from him and given to Antenora. Celinra's katana lay six feet away, gathering rust which matched the caked blood upon the blade. "Now, we have the murderers, but you wonder, why Why did they do it, and who to? I, can, perhaps, remove the cloud from your perception.," said Dante. The people sitting in the rows nodded, whilst in the moderator box loud cheering ensued. "Now, let us begin at the beginning. Pandora murdered Tragedy for power. Pure, simple power. Then, to eradicate any suspicion surrounding his death, she created a regime of terror under the name 'Guidecca'. Now, at the time, she had been walking with a certain person quite close to the administerial palace, trying to enlist the aforementioned in her conspiracy," behind the booming Dante, Pandora struggled fiercely, "With this, Pandora entered the administerial palace, using her moderator key and killed Tragedy, in cold blood. A few days later, the real impact hit Char and she backed out. This led to her 'disappearance', i.e. murder." PJ's face went pale, but Dante just continued, " Now, before we go any further, I want to make it clear that Pandora and Celinra were the heads of the conspiracy. PJ had nothing to do with it. His murder was of another type, again implemented by a deadly sin: jealousy. He was jealous of me, and, seeing no opportunity to attack me, he attacked someone else. He set fire to the room of Mr. Sebastian Who, with the help of a certain drug that rendered Mr. Who in a terrible state. To the end, he believed he was committing pure suicide." PJ kicked at the clones, but they paid him no heed, "Now, perhaps a week after Tragedy's death, Aimee arrived with dreadful news. Tyler had been killed. In case you don't remember Tyler had impressive hacking skills. He used to make a hobby of hacking the laptops of members. It was this hobby that got him killed. He hacked the computer of a well-known friend of Pandora's: Celinra. Once the necessity for secrecy, Celinra killed Tyler thinking that he had seen their plans on her computer." By now, most of the audience was awestruck and the murderers were all looking very strange indeed. "The Pandora/ Celinra killing spree continued. The next victim was the innocent Annelise, killed for her knowledge of Pandora and Celinra's relationship and partnership. Near the end, everyone went a little berserk. It was at the height of the paranoia that the final murder was committed. Pandora crept into Aimee's room and slit her throat. She thought Tyler had confided in Aimee about the plans. With five people dead, and no suspicion on them, Celinra and Pandora were feeling pretty complacent. Until now." He gave them a sharp glare. "And there you have it. Six murders for no other reasons except jealousy and lust for power." Antenora rose in the moderator box, her face a sad and dismayed paradox. "There was a time when we were so close to the heavens that no stigma could reach us. But now, we have fallen. Oh, how we have fallen." She collapsed.

What about Mischa Barton's Little Sis, whose deeds triggered the really cool member uprising? Keeping us hungry?

The somewhat ominous final line leads me to believe that there is indeed more to come. Hm.
I always knew that PJ was jealous of me.
Antenora's poetic declaration of despair was quite nice, too.
And, of course, the solution to the mystery is a good one.

Antenora's poetic declaration of despair was quite nice, too. I second that. I quite enjoyed this story, and the ending was great. Ominous indeed.

Horray for being a co-leader of a conspiracy!
Excellent story, I quite enjoyed it. And the final lines are intreaguing.

I always knew that PJ was jealous of me. Ok, I admit it. But why would I be jealous....of a dead man? *pulls gun* So what, I'm jealous of Dante, and kill Mr Who? Because he made Dante his spiffy avatar? Or was I planning to kill Dante later on, in the confusion of the really cool member raid? I suspect I shot that dart at Antenora right at the beginning, too. Also, I wonder how I was discovered. Yeah, great story, but it really needs an epilogue. *shakes fist*
