Leaving Limbo [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

I am a non-Free Spirit little un with no personal goal to leave limbo or I would have voted with Zack already.

I have not been playing close attention to this game and I am not this lazy as a mafioso; I am now working 60 hours a week at my job. Yes, I am copping the RL excuse and I never do that as scum. Sorry, I do care more when I am scum.

My vote is essentially for sale here. I have basically no opinion regarding everyone remaining, and frankly, if you lynch me here I am not going to bat an eye because I didn't do [bleep] this game and winning will be based on luck and bandwagoning someone else's suspect, and that just makes me go bleh on the inside.

As such, point out who is a Free Spirit and why. Don't make me get off my butt and accuse someone. Do what I do and make a case, and make it a good one, and you will have my vote.

[Visor]

Vote: neri

[Askthepizzaguy]

Vote: Neri

Yes, I'm that lazy. That's all its going to take for Visor to win the game unless you people start caring.

[Neri]

Vote: Subotan because you've said as few words as you could possibly, and technically missed the vote two days in a row.

[BSmith]

I have to agree with Neri regarding Subotan. Every single vote he has made has been along with a bunch of other people voting for the same person, and he has missed several days as well. He is doing just enough to stay active, but not causing any trouble or making any waves.

Vote: Subotan

[Askthepizzaguy]

Visor, does your vote count once or twice?

[Subotan]

Vote:Neri

Well, I know I'm not scum. Ideally I'd vote to lynch Scottishranger but there's no way that that's going to happen this phase.

[Montmorency]

Subotan is clearly an enemy of the Children.

Destroy it.

[Zack]

Subotan is clearly an enemy of the Children.

No, clearly the mafia want to leave Limbo, Montmorency. Get your facts straight.

[Montmorency]

Subotan is Mafia? I thought he was a Big Un.

[Ishmael]

That's right, I'd forgotten that Montmorency was Mafia.

DAY SIX

One mouse shared by six children. The hunger they all shared; had now passed through a painful ache, beyond the brink of hope, and had descended toward the burning gates of a ravenous and hallucinatory fever.

Coppery water had been found in a cistern near the entrance to the Fortress, but no-one drank much of it: Stomachs had shrunk so much that even a small sip seemed to bloat their sore bellies, and several of the lost souls spent much of the day simply writhing in pain; on the cold of the concrete floor.

The small child known as Askthepizzaguy claimed he was so hungry he could no longer think, and craved the advice of any Tribes-member who could puzzle their situation out for him -Deciding indeed; which of them still represented a threat to the Tribes' survival.

What remained of them at least.

Accusations were tossed and soon began to stick on to two of the less vocal participants of the small cadre that remained.

Both Neri and Subotan took the accusations with a seemingly stoic humility. Subotan stated that he would have voted for scottishranger, had it not been for the fact that his own life were at stake and plumped for pointing the finger back at Neri instead. Scottishranger - The small boy who had been so bold in demanding that the tribe left Limbo simply lay on the floor - back turned to the assembled - and it was only when Subotan directed his ire toward the youngster that the rest of the tribe saw that something was amiss. Scottishranger lay in a puddle of sweat; incoherently rambling, and the Tribe quickly realised that he was inches away from death due to malnutrition. The life of the small boy was clearly being silently fought over: The boy himself, versus the endless, all-consuming silence of death.

A low grey light, peering through the entrance to the bunker's gate signaled the approach of night, and the end of the day.

VOTING TO KILL:

Neri: Visorslash, Askthepizzaguy, Subotan

Subotan: Neri, BSmith,

An edginess approaching hysteria began to manifest in both Neri and Subotan, both sets of their accusers neither had the stamina for further debate, and as the Tribe rose to their feet as one (except for the feverish scottishranger), Neri and Subotan both found themselves backing away from the grim-faced children, backing toward the doorway that led into the unknown.

A silent cue was apparently triggered and the instant that the accusers started toward their prey; was matched by the second that both Neri and Subotan turned tail and fled from them.

Racing along gangways and platforms within the vast subterranean factory, Subotan and Neri almost appeared to cooperate, their ragged breathing and that of their pursuers, to begin with: The only audible accompaniment of the chase.

As they passed deeper into the complex, the thrum of machinery grew louder: Sparks flew from junction boxes and immense cogs rumbled slowly around the fulcrum of their endless toil. Bursting neck and neck into a large chamber the boys suddenly halted. Immediately before them yawned a wide trench and set into the walls of it were set a series of cruel looking gun barrels.

Sweeping over the trench, passing along steel threads as thick as an arm; ran metallic boxes that emitted shards of white light.

Cornered, the pair turned to face their pursuers, as they rushed into the cavern behind them.

For an instant, time seemed to slow to a sluggish trickle.

As the large form of BSmith ran toward Subotan, and the diminutive pairing of Visorslash and Askthepizzaguy descended apon Neri; the pair began to slap bestially at one another - each desperate to ensure that they were the one who remained alive.

Fate took a long deep breath.. and exhaled:

Time resumed its' common displacement.

As Neri's fist connected with Subotan's chin, the large frame of BSmith drove the stunned child over the edge of the parapet - flailing through the air until he thudded into the trench below.

As the small boy tried to right himself he was caught simultaneously under the glare of two the the spears of light from the tracer boxes above. A soulless whirring noise filled their ears for a second before two of the large gun emplacements kicked into gear and abruptly delivered their deadly ordinance into the killing pit, and into the body of Subotan.

The small boy's frame was fragmented swiftly into fleshy chunks as the bullets rained through him - the echo of the barrage eventually dying away long after Subotan had drawn his final breath.

....

Neri was the first to breath again. His distraught gasp followed by the rest of the Tribe. After some small moments recollecting their composure; the Tribe picked itself up and began the slow, silent march back toward the entrance hall.

As first finger pointer, Neri had been spared the chore of clearing the body of the executed - splattered as it was, across 16 feet of - still - deadly trap.

Once they had returned to the 'Fortress' and ascertained that the skinny form of scottishranger still drew breath, the remaining members of the tribe collapsed, finally, into the starving maw of sleep.

[Montmorency]

Ah, it seems BSmith dies now.

[Neri]

Is the write-up implying that the vote was a tie?

[scottishranger]

Ak Im sorry that I didnt vote last time. The Super Bowl festivities are getting to me. Seeing as the cause to leave limbo is clearly doomed the town should focus on getting mafia now, not a neutral faction like us splitters.

[LazyMcCrow]

Is the write-up implying that the vote was a tie?

Yes indeed. The method of execution was just flavour text - and decided between the two by coin flip

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well that's pretty much game. Congrats to the mafia.

NIGHT SIX

The last member of the Tribe fell into the fitful slumber of Limbo, leaving one soul left lying awake - beathing slow and steady and peering through narrowed eyes into the dark.
Once he was sure all about him were unconscious, the Free Spirit rose stealthily and crept over to the corner in which Askthepizzaguy lay in a feverish sleep.

It was a simple matter of covering the small childs' face for a couple of moments and pressing down hard. Askthepizzaguy didn't even move spasmodically as he suffocated and the figure quickly returned to his own spot, lay down and turned to face the wall, falling almost immediately to a deeper and less troubled sleep than any of the others would manage that night.

When morning came, the handful of survivors mournfully dragged the corpse of Askthepizzaguy back out into the open and deposited him in a shallow grave under the eaves of the fearsome wood.

They gathered in the entrance hall and lit a fire - several of the traps had successfully ensnared some small rodentine creatures and for the first time in days the children ate. It did little to raise their spirits though. The threat to the tribe was still clearly present.

DAY SEVEN HAS BEGUN AND SHALL END IN APPROX. 48 HRS. A FAILURE TO VOTE WILL BE SEVERELY PUNISHED.

[Visor]

SO this is it huh.

Game over or we still in with a shot?

Hmm.

[BSmith]

vote: Visorslash. Looking back through the thread it is amazing how little you have actually said this game. Seems to me that you are doing just enough to skate by and not raise suspicions while you silently kill us all off at night.

[Montmorency]

Even if Visorslash dies, Mafia will win.

[Neri]

Vote: Visorslash. You are alright with voting for me without any justification, several days into the game. Now so am I.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I died-ed?

Oh noes!

[scottishranger]

Well I gotta bad feeling about this. I dont like how there is this sudden bandwagon against visor.

but he has said very little, so vote: visorslash

[Askthepizzaguy]

Pffffffff. You're total scum, scotty.

[Visor]

Vote: neri

Suppose that's it then. Well played mafia. You left a scapegoat till the end.

[scottishranger]

Pffffffff. You're total scum, scotty.

I wish I was, then Id be in line for a victory. Instead my splitter faction died a terrible death

Vote: Neri
