( WEEK 2 - PROPHETS )

[abhoth]

On Sunday night, as soon as the grandfather clocks mark 6:00, a voice will speak to you. The tone may vary from person to person, the voice's pitch shifting and changing to suit her facilitators's needs — but the words will remain the same. Similarly for all those who can hear it, they'll suddenly find themselves captivated by it. "Come now, little ones. It's time to partake." And just like that, you find yourself drawn towards the nearest mirrored surface on the wall, somehow managing to avoid calling the attention of anyone who might be in the room with you. Though this is your first time participating in the ritual, knowledge still floods your mind. A light press of your hand against the mirror, and you will find yourself capable of stepping through the previously solid surface and into the shrine room. Here, you find yourself accompanied by two (2) other individuals. And though your handler can't be physically among you, you still feel her presence enveloping you and saturating the air in this room. Glance up, and through the glass ceiling you'll be able to see her in all her glory. It seems it's time for this week's sacrifice to be chosen.

THE UNCLEAN

[abhoth]

[While the "sun" watches silently through the glass ceiling, she will say nothing unless directly addressed. Go forth and mingle among yourselves, unless you're itching to ask a question.]

[perceptions]

Hey, so quick question, unrelated to all of this - can I get some nail polish?

[pls?]

[abhoth]

One of the many rewards you have reaped. Consider it done.

[ Just for reference, the next morning Mira will have a 20-count nail polish collection. While the bottles look out dated, they're still the high quality polishes that Mira knows and loves. ]

[perceptions]

[thanks momster :')]

Cool.

Also I have a quick question about the Convict role. We know it has a Skeleton Key. Does that key unlock even the rooms that are blocked off to everyone else?

[abhoth]

Anything with a keyhole may be accessed by the Convict. You're safe.

[disinterested]

... Really?

[perceptions]

What?

[what??? :/]

[disinterested]

Should we select the person whose role happens to be the Bomber, will we be notified in advance or are we in for an unpleasant surprise?

[abhoth]

There is no preventative measure. As fruitful as it is to kill without care, sleuthing has its benefits... Should one of you kill the Bomber, just like any other individual, you will fall.

[disinterested]

Roger that. We reap what we sow, of course.

VULNERABLE

[abhoth]

[Unlike last week, it seems the Unclean has an announcement to make as soon as all three prophets enter the room.]

Listen now, little ones. For this week, the Teacher has chosen to make one of the Sacrifices vulnerable. Akane Kurashiki. On Thursday night, she will be where all those who seek an easy kill may find her.

[... There is a pause, and then she speaks again.]

However, there other options. Sacrifices who have not played their part. Sacrifices who do not mingle with the masses, placing their trust on each other. These Sacrifices have no merit to me. There is little point in allowing them to remain if they will provide little to my ritual.

Seek one of these Sacrifices out, and kill them. I wish to see their blood sully the ground on Friday morning.

[perceptions]

So quick question - can you tell us which sacrifices haven't been playing their part? Or do we need to figure them out ourselves?

[abhoth]

I am a kind and just entity. My rules are simple: participate or be devoured.

Vincent Machen and Hibiki Kohaku. If you truly wish to please me, at least one of these can be considered suitable for this week's ritual.

VOTE

[abhoth]

[There is an altar on the side of the room, a collection of 2x2 photographs of all living residents arranged around it — as well as a single knife. Once you've all selected your next victim, you will seal their fate by placing their photograph on the altar and spilling your blood on it. All surviving Prophets must do this to assure your victory.

Please respond with the name of this week's victim (or victims) in the subject header.]

Hibiki Kohaku

[perceptions]

Hibiki

[shoelickingshit]

Hibiki Kohaku

[disinterested]

so about that trial--

[disinterested]

[This sure has been a weekend??]

Congrats, Mira. I do believe you're now the single most hated person in the vicinity.

[perceptions]

Hahaha, right?! Go me!

[Raises her hand up. High-five her guys. Do it.]

[disinterested]

[sure, why not, she can have that high-five]

Tough luck to you if you ever get caught.

[perceptions]

[YEAH thanks man.]

Well they can't kill me unless they vote for me, right? Otherwise they'd have to pick someone else to lynch instead.

Killing Discussion

[perceptions]

Ok boys, the Unclean said that it doesn't like Vincent or Hibiki. We can kill either one of them, or if you guys have a better third option I'm all ears.

[shoelickingshit]

Weell, I don't mind either and I don't have a better idea sooo~... If we choose between those two... Should we flip a coin? Pull straws? Roll a dice?

[perceptions]

Doesn't matter to me either way. I'm just hoping neither of them are the Bomber or the Paranoid.

[momster wouldn't purposefully sick them on the two roles who could kill them... right...]

[shoelickingshit]

Let's do Hibiki-chan then! If you have no complaints, I mean.

[ WE BETTER HOPE SO? ]
