I just didn't wanna interrupt the gravity of the murder vote~

Aja....Ajaja...It ssseems I've bitten off more than I can chew this time. Very well, it befits a lady to accept her end with grace.

As a wise man once sssaid, I did indeed shoot the sheriff...but I did not shoot the deputy. Tsavorae's killer remains a sssnake in the grass; look a little harder at your friends in purple, won't you?



Partitio, Roland, mis amores...I bear you no ill will for this outcome, just as I bore none for the sheriff who met his end by my hands. I'm sure he thought the same. These are sssimply the rules of the twisssted game we've been made to play, and it was either me or him - he did try to kill me too, with that chloroform rag of his. Que sssera, sera.

As for you, green one...I don't believe you forgot the flowers at all; this bud has already blossomed beautifully. You will make a fine mayor.

Cascabela (7) - North Star, Partitio Yellowil, Roland, Ranger, Lynne, Kroos the Keen Glint, McJango
Ranger (2) - Cascabela, Akira Kogami
Hollywood Bowl (1) - Madame Zalsarona
Akira Kogami (1) - Pete n VB

Momoyo Himemushi
Congratulations! You've elected Bud as your mayor!

Honoka Kosakatua
Oh, and you solved the case - she was indeed Guilty. Good work. You're turning it around, I think.

Hollywood Bowl
You know, normally I'd be taking it up that people were happy to leave votes on me for a crime I obviously didn't do, but I'm a little distracted. Is that a golden star?

Agent Evangeline
Yes? It's been there since yesterday?

Hollywood Bowl
No, I mean, way in the distance. Look, you can kind of see it there...

Honoka Kosakatua
I still don't enjoy doing this... but it's time for the execution-

Whoa there doggy
Wait one moment
Bringin the bad guy to justice?



Let me handle this

Honoka Kosakatua
Wait, what are you doing-

Charging forward, and beginning to glow with a faint golden light, Pete n VB laughs wildly as he pulls out two revolvers and starts shooting at Cascabela. The snake's far too slithery to go down quite so easily, though, and she quickly retreats behind the Yellow Building. Honoka chases after them, as much invested in trying to corral Pete's insanity as she is in trying to ensure it all goes according to schedule and plan.

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face, though, and for Honoka that's literal as she walks right into a sucker-punch from Akira Kogami. Unwilling to just go along with the execution plan and still pissed off at Honoka, Akira starts smacking her around the head with her stick. The mastermind isn't doing so hot against the furious idol, but as the gigantic centipede above her materializes, Akira ducks to the side as Momoyo tries to swat her with a leg. Sure, she can't KILL Akira as the non-execution target, but she can try to mess her up, at least!

While this happens, Hollywood Bowl keeps pointing at the golden star and directing Evangeline's eyes. She can definitely see it - a second star. And this one isn't fixed - it's getting larger.

As all this goes on, Cascabela finds her actual destination - the Gun Shop. She bursts out with a shotgun, putting plenty of buckshot right through Pete's face. He immediately springs back to his feet, the golden glow brighter than it was before. Something is absolutely refusing to let him go down, forcing the wraith to get up again and again. He fires back, putting a bullet into Cascabela's waist, but she grits her teeth and refuses to go down. Slamming him aside with the gun, Cascabela begins to head towards the Orange Building. Momoyo takes the chance to follow her down the street, turning away from Akira, as Honoka gets up. Then gets hit in the head again by the stick.

As Momoyo moves towards Cascabela, though, she finds her way blocked. Both Bud and Zalsarona stand in front of her while Cascabela runs into Mineral Storage, forcing Momoyo to try and figure out how to get around them, and deal with the fact that she'd break the building if she got inside. Pete has no such compunction, shining like a star himself as he runs after her into the Ruined Mine, and gets shot with an Occultic bullet. Though it barely makes it through the light, it still scores a mark along his side, and this one doesn't heal up.

Cascabela presses the advantage, and runs outside, the non-executees still enough to keep Momoyo from going for her. Running down Pete and hissing in delight, Cascabela hobbles him with another couple bullets and brings him to ground right at the edge of the desert. She aims the Occultic pistol at his head, and lets a grin spread over her face, before shielding her eyes from how BRIGHT Pete is glowing at this point.

Then she realizes that the light is not just Pete. Confused, Cascabela looks up, and sees the second golden star, descending upon her at incredible speeds. The golden star slams right into Cascabela and Pete, a bright light and enormous cloud of sand blinding everyone for a bit.

When the light fades and the sand settles, Pete is completely gone, and Cascabela lies dead, her head smashed in from the impact of an incredibly powerful blow. And above her stands a figure. One with golden skin, and buffalo horns.

@Cascabela has been executed!

Your recipients can either reject the offer, in which case nothing happens and everyone moves on, or accept the offer. If they accept it and carry it through, you can requisition a small item to be placed under your bed (within reason), while if they accept it and don't carry through, you will learn their Forbidden Action. Time for some scheming!

Forbidden Action: You're as good as your word - to make it this far, you had to be. If someone performs their side of a deal and you don't follow through on your promise, that's it for your career!

It seems the Silver Junction Killing Game has been going excellently so far. Six nights of bloodshed, betrayal, and vigilante justice. Exactly as I remember it from the previous time it was performed here.

Hollywood Bowl
Aw, shit, you ARE real. I really was hoping it was just some new age Hollywood bullshit.

Atua
Hollywood Bowl. Yes, I remember you. Not very devoted to Me, were you?

Hollywood Bowl
Can you blame me? It got me killed!

Atua
All I ever promise my followers is the paradise they craft by bringing souls to me. Just look at Pete n VB, who has been sent to My paradise. The bloodshed here has called me, and I promise only to ensure this game works properly. After all, the ritual must be completed, no? It would be truly a shame for such an excellent Killing Game to end early.

Agent Evangeline
...The BPI is going to have a field day with this one.

Honoka Kosakatua
You shouldn't be here. I know you shouldn't! Angie didn't manage to complete the OCGA Central Facility game, there were three survivors!

Atua
Heh. But it was close enough that I could choose a suitable vessel... and when that vessel was weak, make my move.

Agent Evangeline
That explains the resemblance and why we lost track of Person of Interest Superchao.

Atua
Correct. I have claimed Superchao's body for my own. After he was incorrectly executed in one of those small-scale Killing Games he entered, he brought himself back, as he always does. But that was My moment, and I took him over. I then only had to wait for the right Killing Game to come along.

Honoka Kosakatua
What, you didn't start your own?

Atua
Of course not. I cannot pass for a mortal, and fool others into joining a Killing Game so easily. And a proper tribute to a God of Killing Games created by that very God? Ha! There would be no faith, no worship there. Not like Jabberwock Castle, and the OCGA Central Facility.

But this. A game in My name. A game that mentions Me at every corner. A Killing Game, set upon what was once to be my greatest success, a place still steeped in My energy! What greater tribute could I ask for!?

Momoyo Himemushi
Wait, aren't you the guy Honoka hates? Why would she build you a Killing Game?

Atua
Oh, she did not. This game was built to work against Me... though I will not do my fellow mastermind the discourtesy of sharing her secrets. Not when she has done Me proud by finally carrying on My legacy.

Hollywood Bowl
Wait a second, though. You're here in person. Doesn't that make you part of this Killing Game? As opposed to like... some unseen force?

Agent Evangeline
If it's in a Killing Game, it can be killed. Isn't that the rule of the ritual?

Atua
Brave, aren't you? Yes, I suppose on some level, there is risk to managing this in person. But, to borrow the words of another...

I'm a God! How can you kill a God? What a grand and intoxicating innocence!

I suppose a demonstration is in order, however. Of My power, and My control over this ritual. BEHOLD!

Raising his fist into the air, Atua lets it glow bright gold, before slamming down into the ground. A wave of energy washes over Silver Junction, and the fifteen corpses of those who have perished begin to rise, shining with divine light. Even Momoyo seems to slump over, a manifestation of her humanshape shell appearing in front of her at ground level.

Atua
Tonight, you will be playing a Killing Game at full strength again. I wish to see the thirty-three of you act in person. Do not disappoint Me!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The next night is Ghost Night, and all dead players and NPCs will be automatically Wraithed. There is no Wraith vote.

Night 7 will go up in just under 24 hours, at 10 PM EDT Monday, March 31st.

Marshall
Didn't expect to be back so soon.

Marshall
Howdy, everyone. Heard ya' were needin' a lawman. A real one this time.

Can't say I'm a fan of being brought back with the power of an evil god and all...



But it's not like I haven't dealt with a fucker like him before, I just gotta do what I usually do. The best Incident specialist of Gensokyo back in action, glad to be back.

High above, the Sun festers with a vicious glow. The atmosphere itself feels oppressive, and it is difficult to breathe in the desert air.
Imperceptibly, the Sun itself seethes with raw information, bringing physical form to a long-dead soul...

...How strange. I don't recognize this place. Or any of you for that matter.

My name is Serph, leader of the Embryon.

This town reeks of demons. That's something I think I know how to help you with.

Had to be a Monday, huh, Shane?
