( THE TEACHER )

[abhoth]

It is midnight on Tuesday when you find yourself suddenly awake. Your roommate, should they still be alive, is blissfully asleep as your body moves on its own and heads to the outdoor pool and dining area. The smell of cooked meat invades your senses as you approach, and once you are close enough, you'll find Craftly enjoying a beautifully prepared meal. Across from him, another identical plate sits, waiting for you to dig in. Craftly raises his cup, filled to the brim with wine, and beckons you to sit down. "Greetings, Teacher." It seems like it is finally time for the two of you to have a conversation. Welcome, Teacher! As you must know by now, your character has the chance to either protect one (1) character or hang them out to dry. This is an either/or situation, so you can only pick one no matter how much your character may want to do otherwise. To summarize the key aspects from this role's rulebook: Your character must pick one person each week, though the effect will kick in during the following week. They will not be counted as a culprit or accomplice if someone who is made vulnerable dies, but they will be rewarded with a Clue Token. Similarly, they will receive one Clue Token if the person they protected that week is targeted by any other resident. Good job, Teacher! New top levels will be created in this post for each passing week. We hope you have fun with your role!

[His eyes narrow, and his tone is still as questioning as ever. He is committing every single word here to memory.]

No offense, but I don't think any of the remaining three want to end up like you. Inhuman and trapped. I'm curious, but that certainly isn't my end goal.

My priority is ending all of this and returning home.

Mmm, you misunderstand me. Earning a slot with those final three participants isn't a product of what I am. The knowledge you seek — about my history and this city's? That is privileged information. Only a select few will learn of what became of me. Only to those three will my lips be free to speak the secrets of this city.

[ And he nods, cutting into his meal. ]

And home awaits for you if you choose to fight for it. You've done fairly so-so at this point.

[Ah. The final three, learning the truth of the matter. The city, of Craftly, perhaps even of Abigail? Of the entire reason behind this terribly annoying ritual, that which pulled him from home where he had much more important matters to attend to, thank you very much.

He takes a bite, indignantly.]

And why would we care at that point? Other than to sate our curiosities.

[The last bit prods at his pride, over-inflated thing that it is.]

I'm alive, aren't I? That's half the battle. Now that I can act with purpose, we'll see what you think of my performance when next week rolls around.
