Mafia! 3 -- The Terror thats Lurking

[wocket]

Amber was back in her study, after the meeting. What she had heard and seen was very disturbing, and she couldn't keep it inside herself, but she didn't have anyone to talk to. She decided to think aloud.

Hmmm....It couldn't be Jager. Could it? He's so sickly, and he needs so much assistance. she shakes her head NO. It's not Jager.

That Dawn girl is kind of suspicious...sleeping through the meeting? Not knowing anything about the murder?...well, that's to be expected. She doesn't know much about anything...did I just say that? That was rather mean. But no, it can't be Dawn, because she doesn't have the....knowledge of those things.

**sigh** I wish I knew more of the people of this town...but so little of them are religious and I never see them at services...they'd rather spend their time in the bars... I think I've failed as a spiritual advisor. I just don't know.

(OOC: official abstain, for now. Subject to change.)

[amlthrawn]

Lece performed the necessary accounting in his head

• Dawn: A bit silly and irresponsible, but she has shown no sign of demonic possession... though her innocence could be a ruse.
• Amber: Shows every sign of being a respectible and good person. Her words at the funeral service were amazingly touching. I doubt even a cunning demon of evil would be capable of such beauty evena as a disguise.
• Jager: He seems to be a friend or student of Amber... I do not know him, but something about his persona bothers me terribly.
• ElDi: This woman is much too sick and confused to be any tool of evil... though it would not surprise me if this is a ruse. I withhold judgement of her.
• Pout: I need to speak with this boy. He is the one who found the body.
• Korian: There is a aura of evil about this one... Whether or not it is demonic posession is a thing to be determined.
• Jamie Bond: This rouge intrigues me. Given any other situation I would take the opportunity to carefully study him. I cannot make a determination about his character at this point.
• Rucdoc, Recoome, Vincrelis: I do not know them well enough to make a conjecture.
• Frostfire: Based on my...

His concentration was momentarily broken by Dawn's greeting. "What is wrong with this girl, he thought? Reckless. Drinking, sleeping late, neglecting her studies... But he repressed his annoyance. He was not this girl's father. She must live her own life.[/i]

James, the priest, was found brutally murdered last night. The shefriff believes one or more monstrous creatures who have stolen the identies of townsfolk are responsible. We are to meet and attempt to determine who amongst us is responsible before too many others die.

OCC: Abstaining until more people post. I have nothing to base a decision on.

[Pout]

((OOC: I think you can't abstain in the first round.))

He was picking up empty bottles that last night's customers had left on the tables.

Filthy pigs..how could they be so inconsiderate?, he thought to himself.

Then a citizen of the town walked up to him and talked rather loudly, as if to be heard by everyone.

"Now here is a queer fellow! Who ever heard of a six year old boy who never talks?! Eh son? What's wrong with you? Maybe one of those monsters took over your body eh? Maybe they don't know how to talk! Would sure explain why you were frozen stiff in front of that body yesterday!"

Pout's anger grew. He clutched the side of the bar tightly, wanting to rip it out and knock the guy out. It was one thing to laugh at him for being quiet, but to mock him for being traumatised by death was another. Finally, he decided to speak up.

"Not funny."

The man laughed loudly.

"Well what you gonna do about it boy? Vote for me?"

The laughing continued but Pout tried talking over it.

"The monsters would be pretty stupid to take over your ugly body. No, I vote Mia."

The boy gave no reason and got back to his work.

((OOC: Hehe, sorry Judge but you almost didn't participate at all last time and you havn't posted much this time either. First round, purely a 'keeping the entertaining people around' vote. ))

[Ender_Wiggin]

(OOC: Don't know if I should do the no abstain the first round, bit...I'm definitely doing a max of 2 abstains for the whole game, though.)

[Rucdoc]

OOC I am me, vote for judge, agree with pout

[wocket]

Still in her study, Amber continues thinking aloud

Lece?...of course not. He's so helpful, and anyway, he's an official arbitrator, right? How could someone sent to HELP people HARM them? That just made no sense...

It couldn't possibly be Pout. He's so young. Maybe not innocent, at least not for his age, but...young. And he looked so traumatized standing over the body of the preacher...no. It's not Pout.

Mia makes sense. I don't know why...he just...does. Yes. That makes sense.

(OOC: changing from abstain to Mia, of course. Just because.)

[StruckingFuggle]

Meanwhile, Vincrelis sat back and thought to himself about the various villagers, and the signs he once knew by heart. Could he be wrong? Doubtfully possible. Could innocents be acting oddly? Definitly. He'd have to be careful. Though he had his ideas... his eyes surveyed those present, and then raised his voice after a loud clearing of the throat.
"We should get everyone together here. Until then, I won't say who, though I have my own suspects."
Frowned to himself, he continued to speak,
"Does anyone else have experience with these beasts?"

[JudgeMental]

OOC: Gonna make up the name of a restraunt if it's no problem...

IC:

Mia is startled out of his revere, and notices people casting sidelong glances at him. He then hears Vincrelis speak.

Rising to his feet, he speaks in a loud voice.

"First off, I know none of you here know me. That's reasonable, as I've never been here before. While it is natural to wish to blame me because I am new, I still think there is a natural procedure to follow.

"It starts with a simple question; where were you last night at the time of this murder?

"I myself was out around town until late in the evening, when I came to the Saddle Inn Restraunt, where I supped, and went to bed around midnight. Unfortunately for myself, I cannot prove that I was in bed, though I am sure that those working at the restraunt would recall me.

Do any others care to detail there wherabouts last night?

[Il Palazzo Sama]

Jager taps his chest slightly and approaches Amber. tapping her on the shoulder to gain her attention. He displayed his hand to her, the burn from yesterday not healing properly.

OOc:hmmm not much to go on yet but I will vote soon....

[sneakyfish]

I think Dawn did it she was "asleep" during the murder and claims to know nothing about it.

[Ender_Wiggin]

(OOC: sneaky, is that an offical vote? Palazzo, I'll take that as an official abstain unless you say otherwise)

[wocket]

Amber looked up, startled. How did Jager come into her study so quickly, so unnoticed? Ah, well, he was hurt.

She carefully examined his hand, then got up and went to her cabinet, searching for just the right medicine. After applying it, she gave him some extra, and explained to him how to use it.

So, that can't be the only reason you're here, Jager. What is it? You know I'm here for you.

[Ender_Wiggin]

(OOC: Unless I'm mistaken, we're all at the town meeting)

[wocket]

(OOC: earlier I posted that I had left the meeting and was back in my study. Sorry if I left early )

[Ender_Wiggin]

(OOC: I think Palazzo is at the meeting, plus I can't change your vote unless your physicall at the meeting. well I can, but it would be a plot-hole. We'll see if we can't sort this out)
