I would leave you presents, outside your retreat, in this interim space between cliff
and beach. I would leave you loaves and fishes, but the fish stocks have been
depleted and I have run out of bread. I would row you back to your homeland in a
bottomless boat but I fear we would both be driven mad by the chatter of the sea
creatures.
Morning Update 2
The rain and the wind had now died back to the annoying drizzling and slight growls now. Still, the storm clouds continued to gather and now people were starting to feel the general sense of unease about the whole place.
The first Watchman and the Village Elder was hovering around the crime scene. Herbalist came rushing in, took a single look at the crime scene, and then fled mumbling something about another appointment at the inn. "So," the Watchman mumbled. "What do you think?"
The elder raised an eyebrow. "You must be joking."
"Oh wait!" the Watchman mumbled. "I have a secret weapon right here!" he took out a small bottle.
"What is it?" the elder asked.
"It's some kind of magic fluid I got from mainland," he said as he sprayed the liquid inside the bottle around the crime scene. "Just as I thought..." he mumbled.
"What? What happened?" the village elder looked at the crime scene, which was now glowing ghostly blue.
"It seems that the entire area..." the Watchman paused for a dramatic effect. "Has been saturated with semen."
The village elder's eyes nearly popped out of its sockets. "IT'S BLOOD, YOU IDIOT!" he yelled. He then immediately stormed off towards the town.
"What? Blood? But that means..." the Watchman sadly turned back towards the crime scene and at the ravaged corpse of Joooray. "Yeah, the guy's dead." He took off his hat and offered a small prayer to whatever gods the dwarven tinkerer may have done. "Oh what's this?" he said as he picked up 3 spheres. It would be put to vote later.
.............................................................
"I'm here, what did you want me fo...oh..." the scholar said as he walked into the bar. The innkeeper grimly greeted him and pointed to God Emperor's naked body. "So, what's your opinion of it?"
The scholar took one look at the body. "Did you call the herbalist yet?"
The innkeeper sighed. "Yeah, she took one look at the body and fled as if the world was out to get her or something. Your opinion?"
"The guy's dead," the scholar said.
The innkeeper sighed. "Even I could tell that, Mr. Intellectual. What I want to know is how he died, why is he naked, and what the hell is he doing in my inn."
"Oh," the scholar said. "Perhaps it was Colonel Mustard in the study with the...no wait that wouldn't work..."
The innkeeper sighed. "Well, I guess I should move the body to a place where it wouldn't bother other people. Could you help me carry his equipment?"
The Scholar nodded and tried to pick up God Emperor's equipments. Something fell to the ground with a clattering sound. "Oh what's this now?" the scholar said out aloud as he picked up the object. It was a Bejeweled Scimitar.
.....................................................................
Now the villagers crowded themselves into the small inn. They all glared at each other, unsure of what was to happen.
"Uhh..." one of the villagers tried to break the ice. "Why don't we go and search the Mayor's room? You know... for clues..."
The Watchman opened his eyes. "I am SO not burying that body."
Day Phase begins now! Nightfall in 48 hours.
Votes for 3 spheres in BLUE
Votes for the Bejeweled Scimitar in RED
Votes for Searching Mayor's Room in PURPLE. Same rule applies as to investigating Sonny's final resting place. No accusing other people if you choose to investigate.
I can't stress this point enough. NO CONTACT WITH THE LIVING IF YOU ARE DEAD. Thank you.
