The Inquisition [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

Ah, but I can post.

And I'm not dead. I'm just restin'.

[Zack]

I was, of course, not a mafioso in the game linked above.

Always mafia, except most of the time when I'm not.

10% of the time 100% of the time.

[Sooh]

Hush! You're dead, therefore you can't post and you haven't posted because dead people don't post. I'm just trying to justify why I'll vote Sooh tomorrow.

Tsktsktsk... Not a good reasoning my dear. Looks like you're trying to invent something. Might you be the mafia we've been looking for?

1. If I die at the hands of a single attacker, then it cannot have been Nightbringer.

2. There should be a total of 5 attackers on GH in the writeup.

3. My scenarios for remaining scum: El Barto + Nightbringer; Sooh; GH

[Montmorency]

Well, one of us is certainly going to die - unless you're legitimately scum.

[Myrddraal]

What on earth has Monty hatched... Is this the 'grand plan' stage of Mafia smoke screen?

You're that certain I'm town, even though I have no verifiable action on the group hug visor night?

[Montmorency]

In most of the cases I have provided for. Your being scum, or GoldenKnight, or landlubber, or whatever - in such a case all my secrets will have failed, and I'll throw up my hands and wait for the end-reveals.

But I think it's a good bet, assuming all orders were fixed by the end of the night/when I revealed my gambit.

[Nightbringer]

Echo delta foxtrot, do you copy?

Whiskey has screwed the pooch, adopt cal-zone contingency at 0 7345.

Teapot over and out.

[Myrddraal]

Down Whiskey! Bad dog!

[seireikhaan]

My apologies, but Thanksgiving preparations along with a secondary family issue caught me flat-footed. The game will have to be delayed for, likely, three days. Again, my apologies.

[Montmorency]

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yes, that'll do quite nicely. This turkey shall be cooked rotisserie-style. Mmmm.... :drool:

[Ituralde]

The suspense! The suspense!

Actually that suits me just fine, as I'm pretty busy with work and my birthday this week!

Happy Thanksgiving.

[Askthepizzaguy]

There's no suspense if you're the mafia.



Ituralde.









I don't know if you're mafia but I'm going to harp on it until the last of my flesh has decomposed and fallen off of my bones.

[GeneralHankerchief]

My apologies, but Thanksgiving preparations along with a secondary family issue caught me flat-footed. The game will have to be delayed for, likely, three days. Again, my apologies.

Approved.

[El Barto]

Ah, but I can post.

And I'm not dead. I'm just restin'.

Oh, good, then we can paint some tiger stripes on him.

But I was just watching FOX News and they told me the President had pardoned the turkey this year… have they lied to me about that as well?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Bah, if he really wants to be a god among progressives he can pardon all the turkeys. Everywhere.

And give them their freedom.

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!1

[Sooh]

Does that mean we won't ever cook turkey?

[Askthepizzaguy]

As long as everyone else gets to eat turkeys, I will as well.

Turkeys are fat and delicious.

[Montmorency]

Thanksgiving

[El Barto]

Your gambit schema is not of successful. I is not of falling for it. Where is turkey?

[seireikhaan]

I am returned. The writeups will be up within the hour, ideally. Thank you for your patience with the delay.

GeneralHankerchief was spending the evening achieving his weekly exercise, hoping to energize himself following the last few days of relative inertness on his part. So here he found himself at the spiral stairwell, ascending up to the third floor at breakneck pace. He would descend at his leisure to recuperate before repeating the task several more times. His first run went quite well, leaving him in good condition still. However, upon reaching the top of the staircase the second time, he discovered his routine would be interrupted. Five individuals stood there, waiting for him.

"Aha! We have discovered you at last!" The lead individual declared. "Look at you, performing this... dastardly activity, in all your brazen dastardliness! In the name of Firnaz, we sentence you to rightful retribution!"

"Wait, what do you mean, in the name of Firnaz?" The individual to his left queried as they swung to face their compatriot. "This is in the name of justice and goodness, not some festering death god!"

The first individual gasped. "You take that back, sinner! Why, why, THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! How did I end up working with some pond scum like you?!"

"Why, that is a good question, how did I end up having to even be near such a fool as one who would worship Firnaz?"

"Hmph!"

"Hmph!"

Before GeneralHankerchief knew it, the group before hid dissipated in a cloud of discontent and annoyance, leaving him to finish his exercise in peace.





Meanwhile, Montmorency was content to spend another evening in quiet meditation. There were four individuals outside his room at the moment, having shown up half an hour ago, claiming they would secure his liveliness for the night. He was thankful they allowed him the privacy of his room, while still attending to his safety. It was good to know there were still some who would fight for safety in this chaotic world they were in now. Unfortunately, his concentration was broken when he heard a scuffle and voices outside his door.

"Halt, sir Montmorency is not to be disturbed tonight," one of the guards proclaimed.

"That's no concern of yours, I think," a second voice came out. "It would be wise of you to leave us be. I have a score to settle here."

"I am afraid I cannot all-" the voice was cut off as Montmorency heard a loud thumping noise followed by yelling. The shouting reached a pitch before a gust rattled the door, followed by a few more thumps. Montmorency panicked for a moment, knowing he must find a place to shelter himself for the moment. He clambered up from his pose and scanned the room, settling for a small clothes cabinet. He scrambled inside as fast as he could, and drew the doors shut, sheltering himself in darkness. He heard the door creak open, and a man's voice called out to him.

"Come on out, Montmorency... I know you're in here..." the voice seemed to snake through the air. "I know who you are, what you are, sniveling coward... After generations of failing to find you, of thinking you were dead and gone, now the universe delivers you to me as an act of providence." There was no sound of shuffling feet, yet Montmorency was sure the intruder was not yet gone.

"Ah ha, here we are at last," the voice sauntered, now very close by. A thunderous crack exploded from just above Montmorency's head as the cabinet was shredded by a shining, curved blade. A man with flowing white hair brought the blade down upon Montmorency, who scrambled out of the way just in time to avoid it, the cabinet being completely destroyed in his stead as a blast of air flung shards of wood in every direction. He attempted to scramble towards the door, but a powerful wind knocked him into the nearby wall of marble, sucking the air from his lungs. The white-haired man levitated forward, his eyes ablaze with silver.

"Look at you, being protected by mortals. And you would cower beneath them. Even with all this knowledge and power, you are weak, just like you always have been. You don't deserve to exist in this world, in MY WORLD! The mortals will perish soon.... Now join them! PREPARE TO DIE!" The white-haired main brought his blade down in a slashing arc, slicing into Montmorency with a powerful, crushing strike that severed him from shoulder to hip. "And soon, the rest of this despicable palace will join you, coward."




"It seems we do, indeed, still have work to do," Kavehir mournfully informed the gathering in the morning. "We still have murders abound in the palace, protesting our noble endeavor. I am... sorry. I know we have lost many innocent to this. But we must march forward. Justice must be delivered. Even were I to cancel our efforts now, it would not end the suffering and injustice that would continue to be inflicted upon us. So, friends... let us end this all. Let us finally deliver justice."

Everything you need is in my posts.

[landlubber]

Right. There were five of us, just like Monty said there should have been.

vote:El Barto.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Will analyze after I sober up. See you all tomorrow.

[GeneralHankerchief]

In the meantime, could people involved in the hit on me come forward?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Also also, all protectors of monty are (theoretically) accounted for. The reason it failed as per feedback PM was the same reason why it failed on Visor - the protection was somehow nullified once again.
