That Creeping Darkness [Concluded]

[ULC]

Wait what? You decide to say that now? You just basically said the ghosts were evil and were working with the cane man with a face of thousand horrors, or something like that at least.

Why would I contradict myself? There is a clue in all that, and you need to find it to understand why I did what I did. Read more carefully and you will see I never said anything about "Ghosts".

It still says "Under Construction"

Fixxed.

It still says "Under Construction"

He posted it in thread. He hasn't updated that topic yet.

Basically, the ghouls do a dancing jig with Nyixus (michael jackson with a face of a thousand horrors) carrying away Sasaki as he is screaming and shouting, and the town runs away and you and Gasmask just stand there staring in shock.



ghouls = ghosts
Need to call the ghost busters on the both of them.

[ULC]

He posted it in thread. He hasn't updated that topic yet.

Basically, I didn't really read deeply into the write up like I should have

Fixxed again.

[Beskar]

So you meant ghouls as in Zombies then? Curse the English language.

Tipping his hat to Lovell, Nyxius snapped his fingers, and the ghouls began to form up, as if to attack, hunger in their faces. "If you do not mind, I will be taking this man for my own collection. I am sure you won't disagree." Nyxius laughed a evilly, and immediately, the undead began to breakout into song and dance, with Nyxius taking lead.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Since the game isn't to continue, I will tell you the biggest clincher of all.

I am Psychic Zero, and I conned Andres into giving me protection by protending to work for him. That is why it was a mask in the hunt (evident in the write-up) and it was my cause to assist and help the towns interest. I worked with AskthePizzaGuy to make myself both scummish and town at the same time to stop any town roles from doing anything silly like stopping me, and convincing enough to lure Andres into a false sense of security.

Suckers!



The chick in the green hair is Ada, my concubine. We are tied together by love against the evil Doctor Lovell and his evil schemes.

You would have never guessed my excellent enginneering and ploys in the game to decimate the Mafia while making them think I was one of them. I excelled above edexcel and its spreadsheet capicabilities. For I, and only I, am the one true Psychic Zero!

I want to be able to talk about this..... but I can't. I will just settle my urge with this



wait..... ghouls you say?........... I knew it!

[Renata]

Well that was amusing.

[Beskar]

Well that was amusing.

Fine fine, you can be the female with the green hair. Happy now?

[Renata]

Oh, very.

End Night 6...

Beware the Erinyes. Beware for whom Tisiphone answers.

Cynthia sighed as she leafed through her book. Words, all words, yet she had to do this because it would make ends meat, and ever since Lynn Strange had taken over kelly green's duties at the library. The man was short handed, and Cynthia, a wanderer by nature, needed both a place to stay, and food to eat - Lynn Strange was desperate, and was willing to offer her that in exchange for her working at the library.

"Done yet Cynthia?", Lynn inquired as he walked passed, rolling a cart chock full of disorganized books. Cynthia looked over with tired eyes and simply shook her head no, and returned to her work. Lynn shrugged and began to move on but stopped in wonder as the books on the cart began to wobble and shake about. Suddenly they began to throw themselves at Lynn, who was forced to the ground, yelping in pain.

Cynthia was on her feet to get to Lynn, but was blocked by falling debris from the roof. Looking up, she spotted a huge red skinned creature, with pincers for arms and a large circular mouth, a great big razor sharp tongue lashing out, coated in blood. It lept from the hole it had made down to the ground, making a sweeping motion with one of it's claws towards Cynthia, who flipped out of the way just in time.

Roaring in frustration, it charged, overturning everything in it's path. Quickly rolling to the side to avoid it, the beast crashed through several rows of bookshelves and throwing up huge piles of debris. taking the opportunity, Cynthia raced over to Lynn and grabbed him, pulling him away from the possessed books which had formed into a fist of sorts and had been pounding on the poor librarian.

Throwing open the door to the library, Cynthia pulled both of them to the ground as a many mouthed creature, recognizably human, threw itself at them as soon as the door had swung open. Quickly crawling back away from it as it heaved itself after them, all it's mouths drooling a terrible acid which dissolved everything it touched, gaped open and shut, seeking out Cynthia. Leading it on a little bit more, the two managed to get it away from the door, which both dashed out of, not looking back until they were a mile away.

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

Elijah Quigley was a simple man. Yes, he was confused about the events that had occurred as of late, and true, he had mad some weird accusations in some peoples eyes - truly, if one talked to much, it meant that one wasn't searching for those psychics, and thus wasn't listening to the good Doctor Lovell, who was simply just trying to save them after all.

Tonight, Elijah decided to go out for a drive, and seating himself comfortably, turned on his car. He put it in gear and drove a couple blocks before his radio suddenly kicked on, and began playing "Chariots of Fire". Elijah looked down at his radio suspiciously.

From the rooftop of a nearby building, the cultist raised his arms in praise. "A sacrifice, befitting you my master, most high! I send a gift of ancient Prometheus' fire on wings!" With that, he clicked the button on the remote in his hand, which caused poor Elijah's car to explode and burst into a thunderous blaze, launching it slightly up into the air before crashing down in finality.

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

Quinn chuckled as he looked at the note, written in Yvonne's beautiful handwriting. The way it curved, the way she wrote...it just made Quinn's heart melt. He read it first to himself, and then aloud.

"Let us meet in the park, at our spot closest to our hearts, where the stars shine most beautifully upon us during the midnight hours."

Quinn folded the note up gently, his curiosity piqued by this sudden turn of events. But he smiled, knowing whatever was planned would be most wonderful.

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

Yvonne sat, cross legged, the moonlight streaming upon her and illuminating her pale, elven face and dark hair. Her hands worked back and forth as she knitted with precision befitting of someone who had mastered their art, a smile most glowing upon her face as she worked her needles. She coln't wait to see Quinn, and tell him of the news.

A sudden uneasy feeling pervades Yvonne as a shadow casts itself over the moonlight, and she ceased knitting. The air grew cold, and Yvonne called out, "Quinn?", her voice slightly unsteady. When no answer came, she closed her eyes, and understood what was to come. "You have come for me finally, I see."

Gasmask, without his iconic mask, his face a mist of shadows concealing human features, stood next to her, looking down upon Yvonne almost pityingly. Speaking for the first time, in a dual angelic voice, Gasmask responded. "Yes, I have come to collect - you have cheated death long enough, Yvonne Lucia Clark."

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

Running into the park excited, Quinn dahsed into the grove of trees which led to a small, perfectly circular clearing. However, confusion ensnared his mind as he did not see Yvonne before him, but Jesse Zhang, who sprang to life and rushed the stunned Quinn. "You, you are here! He said, he told me you could release me! Oh please tell me it is true!" Jesse continued to hang onto Quinn, until the latter snapped out of his stupor and grabbed Jesse by the shoulders and shook him.

"WHERE IS SHE! WHO SENT YOU! ANSWER ME!" Jesse however was long gone, his eyes full of hopeful fervor. "Oh you will kill me! KILL ME, KILL ME, KILL MEEEEE!" Quinn shrugged the man of of him, throwing him to the ground. Backing up, Quinn spun on his heels and ran back to the apartment as fast as he could, leaving Jesse to wail and lament, begging for his death.

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

"If you do this, there is no turning back." Yvonne remained calm, her hand folded, looking out the window at the angelic full moon casting it's rays throughout the apartment, revealing both Yvonne's face and Gasmasks, who had the appearance of a young woman, but yet male, his feature smooth and streamlined, his hair a wispy platinum.

"I fully understand the consequences of my actions. This must be done, the cycle must complete - you know this is true."

Yvonne shook her head. "It does not have to be this way, I have seen an alternate path...one that will end all bloodshed, all chaos. The path I follow will bring humanity into a new era - you would quash that, in some vain hope of maintain the failing order we have now, Samael?"

Sam turned his back toward Yvonne. "I do what I must, to follow the path I see. Not everyone can follow you Yvonne, you know this, you know that what you seek will only be for a few..."

Yvonne stood, spinning on her heels, and pulled Sam around, and proceeded to backhand him sharply. "That, is a LIE. I would have never expected Lovell's message to seat itself so deeply in your heart Samael..."

Looking at Yvonne with pity, he replied calmly, "Has your peace been said?". Yvonne straightened, steely determination in her eyes. "Know that when you take me, you are taking more then one life, and know that by killing me, you seal your own fate..."

"It will be painless, and gentle, I promise you that.", was all Sam replied.

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

Quinn threw the door open, slamming it into the wall and knocking dust loose that began to float about and catch the rays of the moon. "Yvonne? Yvonne!? Oh god, Yvonne!!" Panic overcame him as he ducked into the living room, and found her body, still beautiful, curled up as if only in sleep, her eyes closed and her hair draped over her face in a cascade.

Picking her up and holding her close, Quinn began to sob and cry out Yvonne's name, rocking back and forth. He begged for her to say his name, to whisper to him. He could be heard crying and sobbing, holding her tight to himself, his emotions tearing at him, tears streaming down his face.

All night he held on to her, refusing to let go, his eyes never dry, his heart pierced and the pain his chest unbearable, his throat unable to utter anything but lamentation. And in a final cry to the gods, a man at his knees begging for the only thing in his life that he loved to be brought back to him, yelling for a deal, for anything, to pay any price, to have her back, to her her sweet voice, to feel her hands upon him, to feel her warmth and love once more...it was all for naught, and he cursed the gods, and he cried in vain, he cried in vain hope.

And when Nyxius came to sit by Quinn's side, instead of taunting him, he too sat down, and bowed his head, his hat upon his chest. Finally getting up solemnly, he placed his cane at the side of the living room couch. "I can help you...and I mean to be honest when I say that. If you want Yvonne back, speak to me upon the morrow." And with that, Nyxius vanished.




Renata, aka Yvonne Lucia Clark aka Psychic Zero, has been killed, along with Thermal Mercury, aka Elijah Quigley.

Begin Day 7...and good luck to all...

[Renata]

Psychic Zero is not happy.

[Seon]

Okay Dr.Lovell. Psychic 0 is dead. Could you, you know, leave now? k thanks :)

[ULC]

Still getting results PMs out - be a bit longer before everyone it up to speed.

[Chaotix]

Wait a minute....

Query for YLC:

Quinn was the name of the psychic boy in Whispers in the Night, if I recall correctly, and this is supposedly a sequel to that game.

Is the Quinn in the write-up that same one?

Are you allowed to talk Chaotix?

[Andres]

Psychic Zero is not happy.

Finally...

[Chaotix]

A-ha! And so the plot thickens.

[Chaotix]

Are you allowed to talk Chaotix?

No, sorry. I'll be quiet now.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'm glad this game is back on track, but no phase can last for greater than 48 hours in the future - no exceptions.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Somebody should have listened to what I told them earlier


(ok, I will go back to being dead now. Won't keep interjecting)

[scottishranger]

(ok, I will go back to being dead now. Won't keep interjecting)

Alright everyone. I have been permitted to talk on this day.

Any Questions... hurry now

[Sevis]

A-ack...

Things go on, as far as I can see, so the town still has some hope. We have the cultists, the undead, and Lovell... Khm.

Ghosts, I beg you, give me guidance! Whom of the three must we focus on killing?

[Andres]

Dear Ghost Council,


I have done what I needed to do: taking out Psychic 0.

I know this probably means a blow to you, but so be it. I did what I had to do. Since I no longer have any objectives, I'd like to offer an alliance to fight the cultists together.

a- Does the Ghost Council accept my offer?
b- Does the Ghost Council have the means to contact me in private?

I am offering an alliance; I do not offer to blindly follow orders without explanation.

[Thermal]

I'm glad this game is back on track

It could have started with more positive results

But to be fair I don't mind, plenty of players deserve the spot more than my dead corpse.

[Renata]

"Oh ghosts, oh ghost council"? Pizzaguy told you so many times ...

I have a secret for you all, in any case.

The gods help those who help themselves.

[Sevis]

Renata, you can still speak? Would you mind answering my question about whom we must kill, if you are allowed to?


EDIT: Gah, indeed, I finally understand the point of your post. Sorry, my sense of speech forbids me to phrase things directly, unless forced to.

Scottishranger, who should we lynch today and why? And which of the three groups (cultists, undead, mafia) are most dangerous to the town?

[Renata]

Some things I can answer. Not much.

Mostly I think I'm just here to haunt Andres.

[Sevis]

So, you can't answer that, I'm guessing... Well, none the less, Renata, Scottishranger, please reply to any you can.

Was it a mistake to lynch Sasaki?

Was Elijah Beskar? If not, who was he?

Who is the next suspect for Gasmask? And is Gasmask male or female? O_o

What of Joooray, Khazaar? Are they still suspected? Should we lynch them?

Can't think of any more, so I'll have to ask someone who's alive - Diamondeye, shall we go on with our plan to lynch Beskar, assuming he is still alive? I realise Lovell promised to kill him (a joke? I'd hardly believe he'd do it, after he got him Psychic 0), and he did have a higher priority target tonight, but does that really excuse anything?

In case I can't come online in the morning - Vote: Beskar.

[scottishranger]

I shall answer the best of my abilities, and chronologically

Ghosts, I beg you, give me guidance! Whom of the three must we focus on killing?

Andres has destroyed the hope of humanity. The town must proceed without hope, and simply for survival. The cultists are killers. Gasmask is a killer. Nyxius will destroy everyone.

Does the Ghost Council accept my offer?

Does the Ghost Council have the means to contact me in private?

We shall discuss this today and I will have an answer for you later. As to contact, we are also unsure of our means to contact you directly.

Was it a mistake to lynch Sasaki?

No, Sasaki has not appeared on the ghost council. Read the write-ups and the rules again. He was Mafia, just not actually Gasmask.

Was Elijah Beskar? If not, who was he?

Read the write-up again. (Thermal Mercury) TM is a ghost.

Who is the next suspect for Gasmask? And is Gasmask male or female? O_o

Your guess is as good as ours on both counts.

What of Joooray, Khazaar? Are they still suspected? Should we lynch them?

Jooray is a possible suspect, along with Khazaar. As to lynch, both are good prospects.

[Diamondeye]

I'd say that in lack of a better lynch, let's go with vote: Beskar. You're probably one of Andres', and we don't want him around any longer. Andres, you got your Psychic (Sorry to see you go, Renata, you were doing fine), now get lost, please?

[Sevis]

Gah, misread the Elijah bit, sorry.

Khm. Let me ask this, then - What, except survival, did humanity hope for before the death of Renata? Were we not just here to get rid of the rest, which is essential for survival? Or do you mean that some of us can keep living while one of the other three forces wins?
