Tales of Kyou II: The Darkness (Game Thread)

[happyturtle]

Simone took advantage of the distraction to slip through a window into the Guild Hall. It was a place for rich people, and rich people often had treasures.

[Kyouhen]

So... Nobody got revenge killed?

[happyturtle]

Simone finds herself in a storage area, and begins searching what she can without making any noise. A few expensive looking items find their way into various hidden pockets of her saree. One of the items is a small spy-glass.

She sees steps leading upstairs, but they appear to be guarded. So instead, she slips out the window and scales the building, letting herself back in through an upper window into a luxurious bathroom. The humidity and the smell of perfumes in the air tells her it has recently been used.

There are two doors leading from the bathroom. Simone chooses one, and opens it quietly. She finds a dark room, with many beds, and women sleeping in them. A whorehouse, she thinks to herself.

She tries to leave again without waking anyone, but a sleepy voice says "Hey, what are you doing up so late?"

Simone answers in the language of Kyou, trying to make her voice sound more adult, "Have to pee"

She can see the speaking person in a bed quite close to the door "Who are you? You look a bit… small."

"What of it? I still know how to please," Simone says, her tone haughty. "Go back to sleep."

The voice pauses a second, but then continues "While you are outside, could you get a glass of water for me?"

Simone make an affirmative noise, and returns to the bathroom, then goes through the next door. A hallway, lighted up. She'll have to move quickly, and hope no one comes this way.

Once again the darkness has fallen over Kyou, with only patrols of guards that dared to face it.

But there was another figure that wandered around the streets of Kyou at dark, a llama. The guards were confused by this creature, there were llamas around here, but none of them were masked or wore a necklace.

But since it was not their responsibility to protect others lost animals they ignored it and let it wander around, hoping that it would eventually find its way home again.

The llama wandered around peacefully, not wanting to bother anyone, just checking so everyone was safe this night. It stayed especially long at one special building, making sure that whoever lived there was safe of the dangers of night.

The llama sat down and waited until the sun would once again rise over Kyou to drive the darkness away. But then it heard a woman scream and rose up again, it looked in the direction of the scream and saw a woman trying to escape from a swarm of black ravens.

As a noble creature the llama first action was to save the woman, and this was by no means any ordinary llama either. Light surged out of it and surrounded the woman as a shield, protecting her from the black ravens that fled as the light blinded them.

The llama then walked up to the young woman that seemed to have fallen unconscious because of the event. It sat down beside the woman and decided to watch her until the guards would come and get her.

The llama didn’t notice but the woman suddenly opened her eyes and smiled.

She threw herself at the llama, faster than any human could have moved and kissed him. The llama staggered backwards as the kiss slowly started to drain all the warmth of its body and soul.

“You didn’t think we would notice you hiding in a llama did you risen one?”

The llama didn’t respond as llamas can’t speak but above it the form of a god took form.

“I protect the innocent, the mortals do not deserve to suffer, be gone foul spirit and leave this llama alone!"

“Innocent? Innocent?! Every day these mortals confess their little sins to us, all their crimes… and yet you think these are innocents? Every day we suffer because of their crimes and we can’t simply stand the pain anymore.”

“Revenge, Yuki? You don’t care about revenge; you only want to kill people!”

The woman that had started to shift into white smiled at the llama and the god that possessed it. “That might be true, but revenge is a very good excused you see? Something others can follow.”

“When will they be satisfied? When have the mortals paid enough blood to satisfy their blood lust?”

“We won’t stop until there are one mortal male and one mortal female left in this world, then the mortals can begin to rebuild, trembling to dare hurt us ever again.”

Cookiemanajro was about to respond to that, but felt a chill going up his spine spreading through his whole body. Then he too, as Ryo before him faded into the deep realms…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cookiemanjaro opened his eyes again; he was still in Kyou… somehow. He tried to look around but found his eternal body unable to move on its own.

“You are awake?” Came a male voice nearby him, but he could not look that way, he was unable to act in any way.

“Well, you better get used to that, your will is mine now Cookiemanjaro. God as you call yourself.”
Cookiemajaro didn’t respond to that as he found out that not even his thoughts were his own. Must… serve…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the morning the villagers and guards found something very odd outside one of the houses, a frozen llama.

Spoiler

Show

Atreyu the Masked LLama was frozen to death by the spirits, he was Cookiemanjaro (Baner).

Arik have enslaved Cookiemanjaro to his will and can now bane a player every night.

Day Starts and will end in 48 hours

The following people are up for auto-lynch:

None

[Selrahc]

Well that, is not good. Not good at all.

Except for Jontom who is holding a lot more cards than he did yesterday.

[happyturtle]

Boy, sure is a good thing we lynched Jontom yesterday like FC asked us to!

[Fleeing Coward]

I still say we lynch Jontom although it's even less likely that anyone'd listen to me about that now
Also, I really didn't know who the baner was. The wolves just got lucky there

[Darkcomet]

*looks at autolynch warning thing*

Bill filed away in Central. Linky.

[Shadowcaller]

*looks at autolynch warning thing*

Bill filed away in Central. Linky.

((Looked like bill got auto-lynched in some game... oh well, I remove him.))

[happyturtle]

Recaiden..

[Fleeing Coward]

Make that 2 votes for Recaiden.

[InaVegt]

Who's feeling like a bandwagon? *points at*Recaiden* I say, why not?

[Recaiden]

Who isn't? I point at Kyouhen.

[happyturtle]

Um...

Why is everyone following me?

[EagleWiz]

Recaiden, although whats the chances the wolves just randomly selected someone to kill and got the banner. Theres something funny going on here.

[Lex-Kat]

Kyouhen. Because I don't see a reasoning for killing Recaiden.

[happyturtle]

I certainly didn't have one. It was random. Random I say!

*runs around in circles, flailing*

[Deathslayer7]

to say the least, i dont see a reason for kyouhen either.

[Recaiden]

Well, he asked that no one got revenge killed, and seemed to be trying to cause doubt over FC, but he probably just meant well. I just don't want to be lynched.

As for how they got Atreyu so soon, I noticed this:

I'd like say that I do not endorse the lynching of the llama at all.

Maybe they assumed that anyone Aegnor doesn't want lynched was a good target. If so,

[Kyouhen]

Wait, bandwagon against me?

But I was only looking out for your best interests! For all I knew Revenge could have been pointed at the seer!

And what does Recaiden have to do with Atreyu getting lynched anyway?

Also happyturtle for starting a bandwagon that apparently has hidden logic behind it.

[happyturtle]

I never said Recaiden had anything to do with Atreyu getting killed.

Really, people, it was a random point! And to prove it, I'll randomly change it to... um... how about Szilard?

[Kyouhen]

Well you see...

Recaiden, although whats the chances the wolves just randomly selected someone to kill and got the banner. Theres something funny going on here.

At least one person here thinks Recaiden had something to do with the baner's death. So someone has a reason to think Recaiden knew something we didn't. You started the bandwagon so I'm going to go ahead and pin the explaining on you.

[InaVegt]

Bandwagons for the bandwagon god!

Kyouhen

[Kyouhen]

Bandwagons for the bandwagon god!

Kyouhen

There, now leave me alone.

[happyturtle]

Well you see...

Okay, fine...

If I played werewolf long enough in Kyou
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
I'm not saying that you lied straight-faced while Llama died
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to lynch
Somebody else
Someone like you is easy to lynch
You should point at yourself

If I gave you time to change my vote
I'd have to actually read the stuff you wrote
I know I just picked your name off the list...
Still I look to find a reason to believe

I hope you find that convincing.

[Kyouhen]

Point at myself..? But I don't wanna die!!!

[Szilard]

Everyone dies, Kyouhen, it's just a matter of when and how.

[happyturtle]

But the song was about Recaiden!

I think....

Or maybe it was about Eaglewiz...?

[Kyouhen]

Y'know what? Fine. Let's be that way. I'm a wolf. I would like to thank Fleeing Coward for outing Evnafets, for without him I wouldn't be enjoying Allyria's protection right now. I'll also tell you that it wasn't a Revenge day yesterday, nor is it today. It's tomorrow. And we scried Cessie last night.

Don't believe anything I'm saying? C'mon, lynch me. Waste a day. You know you want to.

Oh, also we lynched Atreyu because FC said he didn't want him dead. Thanks for that one too.

[happyturtle]

Did my song just make you confess?

...

Awesome!
