Personally, 
[hider=opinion]
I think that this should be handled by:
- Waiting ten more days until a month has passed since the most recent IC post. In future situations probably not wait as long but since this is the first time...
- Seeing if Lolita Complex wants to just sort of take over GMship until Cleo comes back and/or regardless of if CLeo comes back. 
- Deciding whether or not to move to a new thread if nothing happens, and what the plan would be if Cleo/Lolita come back at some far off point.
- Skipping to the next day IC. Whether or not that means the witch was killed and the details of what actually happened being decided later.

Thoughts and such?
