abhoth | ( WEEK 2 - PROPHETS )

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.

Hahaha, right?! Go me!

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

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

Tough luck to you if you ever get caught.

[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.

Yes. In other words, try not to slip up. [...] Which, for starters, means no more possession for a while? People will be looking out for it.

We should wait a bit and use it when they least expect it! It would be super fun. Keep them on their toes.

We also doesn't have to frame anyone this week, from the looks of it. That's rather fortunate, might I add.

[yaaaaaaaay]

[ thanks momster ]

Oh yeah, that was waaaay too much work! Can we finally just do what we want now? That's definitely more my style.

Ugh, same. Framing Hana for that crime was a damn pain.

[the lazy mafia.]

The feeling's mutual. It'll be nice to have some freedom this week.

Yeah, that's fine. [shrug.] Not like I knew Craftly would have a damn menu with all the roles in it, y'know.

Me neither! So I guess we really have to be careful if we use our stuff, huh? Well, I think I'll be safe for the most part... But you guys should watch out.

Roger that. As for you, try not to drop your statue at the scene of the crime.

If I remember correctly, no one can see it unless its people I've revealed my role to. I think I'm going to keep it our little secret for the most part♥.

I guess the others deserve a sporting chance—though it helps us as well. What do you think about this Teacher role?

[poor akane]

My question is why target Akane, and make it easier for her to die? She hasn't exactly done much to stand out. Someone might be holding a grudge against her, but... well it's just speculation, but it might be a trap too.

That's possible. Personally, I have no grudge against her [he says as if he has a grudge against anyone] so I'm happy to spare her this week, if we'd rather avoid the possibility of a trap.

Yeah, I rather keep her alive for now. I don't think I told either of you yet - Akane and I actually know each other.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't have any sentimentality toward her. But I don't know if she's told anyone else yet about our connection. If she dies, there might be a chance of it coming back toward me. I want to avoid that.

Ah, right. You two were talking about your... respective boyfriends during the trial?

[He nods.]

Well, unless Tsurugi has a burning desire to kill her, I suppose that's a veto against Akane.

Yeah. [A beat.] I actually killed both of them. She doesn't know that though.

[:')]

We'll just figure out something else. The Teacher might suspect we know about their selections if we off Akane anyway.

Well then. That escalated.

[ok mira]

Mm. Besides, we don't want the Teacher getting too confident that we'll always kill off whomever they choose.

[in other words let's just be contrary for no other reason than because we can]

To be fair, it wasn't my idea to off either of them! I just followed through what was started. This isn't my first time getting stuck in one of these games.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Anyway we'll figure something else out. At least we don't have to frame anyone.

[ waves hand. ]

All is fine over here!

So nice that we all agree.

Then, our target—or plural—this time?

I'm letting you boys get first pick for the record. Since I selected Hana, I figure you guys should have some fun too.

Oh? How generous of you.

I suppose we ought to listen to our superior and pick a "Sacrifice" who hasn't played their part. Who's been quiet so far?
