Might do some RP later. Do you think Amara showed up and discussed things with Azalea? If yes, you can just tell me what she'd have said. If not, that's also fine, Azalea's probably used to Amara sometimes just standing her up xD

Oh whoops just saw this...

Yeah Amara might have stood you up. Lamar and her have a lot of catching up to do (i.e. I have a lot of homework to catch up on)

Raese stumbled down the stairs, exhausted and bleary-eyed. He didn't know how long he had been playing guitar last night, but evidently he had slept through most of the day.

He walked through the Great Hall, all but ignoring the other students meandering about, some of whom smirked at him, dressed in red and gold robes. Gryffindor students. Raese found it odd. It felt like so long ago he had so badly wanted to join them.

Suddenly he spied someone he knew. Azalea. He started walking towards him, raising a hand awkwardly.

"Hey! Um, hi. What happened?"

1) What do you mean a Mistfallen exe? The exe was Araris. Mistfallen was NK'd. 

2) Secondly, why is TUM v!read for pinging but I'm not  last game I was pretending to be helpful, this game I'm actually trying to be  

3) Yeah, it does seem that you could very easily confirm if Grass was lying about Mist being prefect. Coco and Fallen above both gave reasons to why Grass might choose to lie about it. 

1) Meant exe as in vote, whoever participated in Mistfallen vote 

2) I meant that TUM's vibes are pinging me that he is village, not that I village-read him for pinging others :P. And I'm still trying to figure out the difference of you pretending to be helpful and actually being helpful :P. 

3) Yes, but like Aman said, for opsec reasons I'm not going to confirm or deny. Either of them might have evil reasons for confirming if Mistfallen was a Prefect or not.

I know you had a - on grass. Any other thoughts? Especially as it seems you're leading the exe right now? 

Currently I have a minus on Grass and Hopper. Might add one on TJ. Refusing to answer something when multiple people have brought up a very good reason to answer is just rubbing me the wrong way.

That’s my main sus atm. I don’t have much else.

Care to elaborate on what those reasons are? Seems like you’re purposely keeping us (village as a whole) in the dark, which is almost never a good thing.

I will likely not be on for the rest of the cycle as I’m still at work. If I’m still alive next cycle I’m happy to answer whatever.

@Miss Fallen What are your thoughts on Ink and Mint specifically

I think they’re just connected by virtue of both being in the Gryffindor pm with Aman, and then placing guesses on each other.

14 hours ago, Amanuensis said:

Oh and Doc, just to add, after I proposed that Gryffindor help me with shenanigans, Ink asked Mint in the House PM if she wanted any positive votes. Mint told Ink to vote according to who they suspect and trust, and Ink said they'd give them the +2 because they had no other idea what to do with it. I don't believe they're paired beyond us sharing a House, unless they were playing wolf theater just for me. And between the two, e!Mint / v!Ink is my impression. V/V is also possible, though. If true we live in a strange world like e!Grass or two pure houses.

Aman mentioned this guessing discussion in their pm, and he was trying to pin one of them as elim but I read it as a clearing of both ink and mint. 

[Archer he/him]

~30 minutes to rollover. I don't see any questions for me; make some noise if I've missed something from you. 

[Amanuensis he/him]

I kinda feel like anyone who votes Hopper today might as well be evil after a C1 where Hopper didn't use a single vote  if he's elim we don't learn much. If he's village it's a waste of a findable slot, whether that's due to Hopper becoming a more active participant or eventually getting pinch hit by someone who can participate more, and we learn even less than any other ML.

Eh. I don't think we need to know if Grass is a Prefect today or not. Elims will be kayana if they don't kill a Prefect today, as most of them should be gunning for Protego. I suppose this could be a case of e!TJ shielding e!Grass but that would require the low probability odds of e!TJ getting Friendship unintentionally and placed in the same House of the same player they just NK'd.

Also weren't you one of the people that pushed back on me implying we kill a Hufflepuff C1 lol. I know reads change but the 180 is notable. Especially since y'all were worried about a Slytherout and we still haven't killed them

TJ wouldn’t join Hufflepuff if both I and TJ are elims, he would already have the elim doc.

He is definitely clear in my books, my test is over and I have another running but honestly i suck at these tbh as trying to gain info has unironically spread misinformation and also made several people suspicious of me

I was under the impression that Friendship automatically went to the smallest house, but I could be wrong. @Archer who picks the House that someone gets Friendship with?

3rd Highest: Friendship! You are added to an additional, random House PM. If you have been removed, you are not allowed to speak in it.

Fair enough. I need to learn to be more subtle as a villager, brute forcing people into lies or making them make decisions that reveal themselves isn’t going to work here.

Cycle Three: The Astronomy Tower

Azalea’s owl had a knack for being late. She sorted through expired coupons and letters she wished had been delivered yesterday. As she unfurled the last crumpled note, she froze. 
“Blimey!” She ran out the door as the note fluttered to the ground. 
‘Help. Second floor girl’s toilets. -Amara ’

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

“I’ll point the telescope at the Ophiuchus constellation tonight.”
Lamar watched the sunset from the balcony of the Astronomy Tower. Next to him floated Amara, her ghostly form unaffected by the wind.
“You know I won’t remember any of this by tomorrow.”
“I know. But I can tell you like learning again.”
“I like spending time with you. Marina was-”

“Hanging out with the dead, Lamar?” A lanky man crested the stairs behind them. “Quiet as a grave up here. And that view is to die for.”

“I know that voice.”
“You look pale as a ghost, Amara. How long’s it been, seven years? Eight?”
“You should jump, Lamar.”
The first-year stepped in front of his sister. “Who are you?”

“Your sister knows. But I guess her memory’s not the best.”
“He took my life.” She racked her brain, trying to think of his name. “He was a student. Powerful.”
Lamar fumbled with his wand. “I’ll kill you!”
In a flash, it was knocked from his hand, falling a hundred feet down the side of the tower. 

“You can’t win.”
“Let me try!”
“If you fight, you will die.” She shushed him. “Listen! If you’re murdered here, your spirit will haunt these grounds forever.”
“Then I’ll live here with you!”
“This isn’t living. You deserve better. You deserve to be part of the next great adventure.”

“Merlin’s beard, bird brains take the fun out of everything. C’mon now, I’m dying to curse someone.”
Amara held out her hand. “You’ve been so brave.”
Tears soaked his cheeks. “I love you. Mum does too.”
“I know. I know.”

“Ugh, get a room. Avada-”
Lamar and Amara jumped together. 

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

The greenhouse air was thick with humidity. 

“Who can tell me the name of this plant?” Professor Sprout held a vine aloft. “How about you, Leonidas.”
“I’m not sure, Professor.”
She underhand tossed it to him. “Names matter, class! Mine manifested into becoming your Head of Herbology.”

She looked at the attendance list. “Jarry reminds me of a student we’ll have next year. I expect him to be a prodigy plant potter.”
“Professor!”
“A strong name can be a dangerous thing. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named-”
“Professor! Big Leo is choking!”

The vine had wrapped itself around Leonidas’ throat, and was beginning to make his eyes bulge. 
“See? If you’d known this was Devil’s Snare, you wouldn’t have held it like that.” Sprout waved her wand to unravel the plant. “Was their skin always that blue? Hang tight while I fetch Madam Pomfrey.”

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

Garick leaned over the railing, admiring his handiwork. He barely noticed the figure landing next to him, broomstick in one hand, Sorting Hat in the other. 
“Hats off to you, Garick. That was novel.”
The older boy grinned, showing his silver tooth. “All inspired by you.”
“About that. There’s an art to storytelling. Do you know how hard it was to lure Azalea into the Chamber of Secrets? That’s a symbolic death. This is crude.”
“Can I try your broom?”
“I need a newer model.” He swung through Garick’s chest, knocking him over the side. “But this one’s still good for cleaning up messes.”

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

Ranch dressing dribbled from the side of Dumbeldore’s mouth. “Too many deaths may trigger an investigation, Pomona.”
“She said he’ll pull through.”
“She said he’ll probably pull through.” The headmaster shook the crumbs out of his voluminous beard. “I want him sent home. If he dies off school grounds, we won’t be blamed for it.”
“I’ll inform Poppy.”
Dumbledore took another bite of his sandwich. “And tell Hooch I want a Quidditch match soon. I don’t care who’s on the teams, we just need a distraction from all this nonsense.”

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

“Azalea!” Amara burst into the pitch-black washroom. 
The lights flickered once, revealing a tunnel where a sink once was. Then again: pitch darkness. 
“No, no, no, noooo…”
The lights came on once more, and this time, she saw a Azalea’s frozen form, locked in a cowering pose. 
As she knelt down to inspect, Amara felt a looming presence behind her. 
“I love you, Lamar.”
She turned and faced her fate.

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

@Amanuensis's characters Lamar and Azalea have died! They were killed by @Emperor Comatose's character Garick! This is not a commentary on their alignments. Those players have been replaced by pinch hitters/transfer students, with @DrakeMarshall subbing in for Aman and @Aeternum subbing in for Emperor.

Raese frowned. People  seemed . . . perturbed, glancing at him. Then, commotion. Shouts rang out from the Entrance Hall, something about murder.

Murder. No, not again. He began to jog, picking up his feet, ducking through the crowd, using his height to his advantage. He turned a corner, ducking underneath a 7th year.

Three corpses. Three. He stopped dead in his tracks, frozen. Each looked asleep. Lamar, Garrick and . . . his heart stopped. Time seemed to freeze and drops of sweat burned against his suddenly cold skin. Azalea.

He fell to his knees. No. Not Azalea. She couldn't be dead, she had welcomed him in, comforted him, gave him hope that he would have a place. And now she was . . . dead. Time seemed to jump forward, voices. Teachers, trying to pull him away from the scene as tears flowed down his cheeks. In his blurred vision he heard shouts, and a distinctive voice, Big Leo, being dragged out by Professor Snape. But none of that mattered. None of it mattered at all.

Azalea was gone. She had been murdered. The same people who had been committing sabotage, the same murderers, had come for his friend. 

All of a sudden, he burst to his feet. He slipped out of the grasp of Hagrid, darting up the stairs, ignoring the calls below.

Voices seemed to burst through his head. His father's voice, echoing through his mind. "Death comes for us all, whether we like it or not."

Flash. He turned a corridor, dodging past startled students. The voice boomed once more, louder than before.  "Ever since you were little, you've had this fire. This flame inside."

Flash. He took the stairs two at a time. "If you wished, you could set the world ablaze."

Set the world ablaze.

Flash. Then, Azalea's voice, warm, comforting. "Here, you will stoke your flame, focus it, from a random fire to a firebolt that burns exactly what it needs to."

A firebolt. Ablaze.

He turned, and found himself facing an empty classroom. Defense against the Dark Arts. He smiled grimly, and pulled the oak door open.

He lit a candle and ripped open his bag with grim determination. He seized a piece of chalk, flipped open his DADA textbook and began to write frantically on the chalkboard.

He had been given power. To burn. And he would set it all ablaze, to get his vengeance. For Azalea, these monsters, these Death Eaters, had killed her, to get at the school. They had singed him with the flame. So he would make them burn.

Yeah, welcome pinch hitters! 

Jane stood on the fringes of the Great Hall, listening for anything interesting. Students from all the house were here to know who had been killed this time. Although, it would seem this had been a trio of deaths. Which was ridiculous. Her precious plants in the greenhouses didn’t die this frequently, even with the many incompetent students handling them. And now the school had 5 deaths just in the past few days. 
A wave of new whispers washed through. It seemed one Leonidas had been expelled … after a mishap in herbology. Jane darted out of the castle and down to the greenhouses. Checking in on each set of plants, she stopped upon reaching a particular pot of Devil’s Snare. 
“Oh, you poor thing, who was handling you so roughly?” Jane cooed. 
“I bet it was that Leo person who was expelled. Serves him right for not giving you the love you deserve, beautiful.”

If anyone else wants to be in the greenhouse for rp, go ahead.

Pali paced up and down the Entrance Hall with her head down, to the great annoyance of students who had to dodge her on their way in and out of the castle. There was an awful lot of death going on, more than usual for Hogwarts, where in her experience, the usual number of murders was zero. Azalea was gone, Lamar was gone, his ghost of a sister also gone. Dumbledore had sent Big Leo home to recover, allegedly from a herbology accident. But who knew what the truth was. Rumors had taken over the school.

She had hoped for an exciting year ahead of her, but she couldn't have predicted any of this. Pali loved a good bit of chaos. But this was more than she ever bargained for. First years were crying in their beds. People were scared to go to class (not her, of course). Some of the other students had even refused to duel Pali, because they thought she'd try to kill them! What else was she supposed to do with her free time, study? They needed to figure out this mess before things got even more out of hand.

Gosh. Things next year had better go back to normal.

[Verdance he/him]

What the heck

Orry sat and stared at the empty chessboard. Trance was gone. Then Leo up and died in the middle of Herbology like nothing happened. And now Professor Sprout was telling the common room password to all sorts of people from other houses as if it would make up for the fact that Hufflepuff had one and a half students. Ceadach and now Sox. Well, he was glad for the company. But Professor Sprout needed to be sent to St. Mungo’s branch for the mentally ill. 

“Now I know this is a distressing situation for all of us, dear,” Professor Sprout said, entering the common room carrying- a Mandrake pot? Nope, Orry was out of there. “But I know we’ll ge-“ “Bloody hell, professor, but- uh, I left my homework in the greenhouse! I’ll have to go get it right now!”, Orry exclaimed. He rushed away from the common room, eager to get away from the likely dangerous professor.

As before Green are vote claims that were also voted in that way, red are Vote claims that have not been voted, the brackets by Coco show represent that she was more uncertain regarding voting TJ than the others. The vertical Line divides negative from positive Votes

So most of the Vote Claims were true. Miss claim on Hopper and Amans claim on TUM were misleading, but because they each claimed 4 negative votes, 1 misleading was expected.

Against her Claim, Coco didnt vote Hopper but that might have been due to Amans claim that anyone voting Hopper would be evil. Aman was also very misleading about his positive votes but that isnt suprising seeing  his original vote claim for them was extremely vague so I will not hold it against him/his PH

Yeah I decided to change it last minute pretty much but I didn’t have time to actually say anything in thread. I was rushing to get everything done I needed to before my break ended. It didn’t seem like something I needed to pursue, and I wanted to use my minuses on different people. But I didnly want to use my -3.

Also, it looks like my negative votes weren’t counted. Not sure that changes anything.

Vera stares numbly at Azalea’s bed. At her trunk, overflowing with clothes and accessories. At the pile of books and papers sitting on her desk. Four years they’d been best friends, since their first day at Hogwarts. And now she’s gone, forever.

Vera can’t let them get away with this. First Trance, now Azalea. She’s going to find out who is doing this. She’s going to use every resource at her disposal, every bit of her Slytherin cunning, to find them, and destroy them.

She stands slowly, walks to her trunk and pulls out two things: her bracelet, the one that matches Azalea’s that they bought the first time they went to Hogsmeade, and a long black ribbon, which she ties into her hair. Then she heads out into the common room.

”Slytherins! Listen up! What you’ve heard is true. Azalea is dead. We don’t know who did it, or how. There were rumors Leonidas was the culprit, but that has been proven wrong. From now on, travel in groups. Don’t go anywhere alone, especially at night. First and second years, I want you always with someone third year or higher. No exceptions. Until we find who did this, none of us are safe. Also, do try not to break any rules. Two of our own have already been blamed for these events. It’s natural. Our House has a reputation. But I don’t want to lose any more of you. So be careful, be smart, and look out for one another. Now, don’t be late for class. Dismissed.”

my slytherin besties remember I can’t pm this cycle so if you wanna rp with me we gotta do it in thread  but I’ll be watching the pm anyway
