With Great Sacrifice [Concluded]

[seireikhaan]

Our examination ended with people seeming to be more concerned about who was causing the nightly deaths than our purest soul. I wasn’t sure if the Emperor was aware of the change in course. He was sulking in the corner, staring at the floor. I didn’t do much to help the effort, to be honest. I was still so unsure of what my role was exactly. Did the Emperor expect me to be the one to wield the knife today? I am a simple scribe, surely not holy enough. When the scout returned from the entrance to inform us the day was passed, I had my answer. The emperor stood up and walked slowly to the altar.

“Which one?”

Three of the remaining five pointed to White eyes, the room silent. White eyes, to his credit, looked to have nerves of stone as he walked to the altar. Without a fuss, he laid down, chest bared to his ruler. The Emperor gazed at the curved knife in his hand for a moment, running his finger along the blade. The look was almost… forlorn. Then, without warning, burning rage overtook his face. He rammed the knife into White eyes’ chest, then again. With hatred in his eyes, he butchered the man laying before him, not even bothering to remove the heart in a proper manner, but instead, ripping it out and throwing it against the wall. He continued the butchery afterwards, tearing the ribs apart, splintering flesh and bone everywhere. The rest of us did not need to take a cue to leave. We left our dear leader to finish expending his rage in solitude.

Great job....now edse wins.

[LazyMcCrow]

Great job....now edse wins.

That may well be true. If the scenario is that there is still a pure one and a killer then town certainly can't win, as we have 1 lynch left at best. Ah well - No need to complain now though: You day-ud.

[Montmorency]

Maybe if you had, uh, kept your votes on BSmith?

Your fixation on this notion of a "pure one" is rather disillusioning. Don't you think that, if there even were such a character, he would by all probability be long-dead?

Leave behind this nonsense and just lynch the killer already.

[Jarema]

I think that the "pure one" may be the purest violent killer on the world...

Umm - I did keep my vote on BSmith and - like you - think the notion that a 'pure one' is not simply a distraction is probably unlikely. But, Oh scummy dead God of War, there is still a lynch left to get the killer, and whoever is left alive to see it through in the morning, at least stands a chance of getting it right simply by flipping a coin. I'm thinking the killer is BSmith... or edse.

or Lewwyn. :)

[BSmith]

If you all had kept your votes on me, then we would certainly be in trouble, as I am not the killer. We also don’t know yet if White_Eyes was the killer or not. Only morning will tell so there is no need for second guessing the lynch yet.

I was hoping night would end before I went off to bed, but I guess it'll have to wait till morning.
