( WEEK ONE - 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. Welcome, Prophets! Starting as of today, you can expect a weekly faction mingle where you will be free to shitpost, theorize, and eventually, cast your vote for whoever you will be killing this week. To summarize the key aspects from your OOC info post: A Prophet's main role is to kill at least one other person each week. This kill will need to happen between Thursday and Friday, and will count towards that week's trial. Sometimes, the Prophets will be asked to kill a person who has begun to bore the Unclean and is negatively impacting her ability to enjoy the ritual. This kill will usually happen after their faction meeting on Monday, and will not count towards that week's trial. Prophet players don't need to fill out a murder proposal for faction kills. The Prophets have access to every room inside the motel that carries a mirror or a mirrored surface, since they've been granted the power to travel through mirrors. The location descriptions will usually note if a room comes with anything of the sort, and all bedrooms carry two (2) mirrors by default. One in the main room, and another in the bathroom. Even if they die during the ritual, they'll be automatically revived at the end as long as they held up their side of the bargain (as in, actively participated during the ritual). Speaking of their side of the bargain: Whatever they've been promised in exchange for their cooperation, they'll receive once the ritual is over. This goes without saying, but just a gentle reminder. All Prophets are willing participants of the ritual, and have agreed to McMurder 39 other individuals in exchange for having their wishes granted by an eldritch abomination. You do you, Prophets. As a reminder, you have until Tuesday, 11:59 PM EST to pick whoever you're all going to murder so you have plenty of time to plot how the kill will be carried out. Given that this is the very first week, we ask that you pick between the two mod characters listed in the Prophet Handbook, and as always — feel free to hit us up on the designated weekly faction plurk if you have any questions!

[ Oh yeah... Scapegoat, and stuff. ]

Weeeell, first thing first I guess we need to figure out who would be easier to frame, right?

[disinterested]

Charming. Apparently we all kill, but none of us are in the business of setting up murder mysteries, which is our job here.

[gj crew]

On a surface level, Jason might be easier to frame simply because he isn't a cute girl.

[perceptions]

As a cute girl, I object. Women can kill people too.

[that's FEMINISM for ya.]

[disinterested]

Of course, I don't disagree. It's just a matter of what everyone else will think.

But we can always frame Hana, if that's what you want. I don't particularly care either way.

[perceptions]

Well I guess in my experience, people are just angrier when children die. Hana is cute, but so what? She's an adult. They'll be more inspired to lynch someone in the attempt to gain justice if the victim is perceived as an innocent.

Though Hana's role worries me. "The Spy"... it sounds ominous.

[disinterested]

If we're looking for lynching, should we make it an especially brutal death, then?

[He lets out a light laugh.]

Next to Jason's role, it definitely does.

[perceptions]

Perhaps. Maybe not go too crazy - it might look too obvious a frame otherwise. I could possess whoever we don't spare and make it look like they're the killer. Controlling their body for fifteen minutes isn't long, but it could be helpful.

[disinterested]

[Girge hums thoughtfully.]

The framing aspect of this does seem to be the hardest part. Killing is easy enough; I'm not usually in the habit of trying to pin it on someone else, though.

[perceptions]

Yeah, same here. It's such a damn hassle.

[the unclean picked the three laziest killers for this.]

[disinterested]

[good going unclean]

Unfortunately, it's what we're being paid for.

[perceptions]

My intuition says Hana. Jason is just some fifteen year old boy, I don't know if people would be willing to vote to kill a child. On the other hand, people hate it when children are killed. I don't know why - I guess because they're so young, society finds it truly unjust compared to other murders.

But if you and Girge have other opinions, I think it's fine to hear them out.

[shoelickingshit]

If we're looking at those profiles... Hana-chan's skills are: Athleticism, Marksmanship, Pro-Gaming... And Jason-chan's skills are: Parkour, terrible jokes, tire jacking.

[ A pause. Jason what the fuck. ] I'm not sure if this will really help...

[perceptions]

Maybe we can kill Hana with the power of awful puns.

[disinterested]

And smack her with a tire for good measure.

[perceptions]

And then for good measure, put her corpse in a parkour position!
