Quick Fix Game 14: Corruption in the Senate

[LUNA]

((I swear I will get better at being on top of this game later..... ))

So i guess I will vote for Adamir....

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Curious... it does not appear that Alvron is even going to try to use his dagger again. I've been hovering, waiting for him to vote on someone at the last minute, but he hasn't been online in hours.

  Just because I'm not on doesn't mean I don't have orders placed.

[Hellscythe he/him]

Lopen

Clanky

Gah, speak of the devil... That's just spooky.

 

I was talking about the fact that you don't have a vote placed, so using the dagger again would have been a one-time deal. Now that you're here, however, you can do so.

 

EDIT: What are you up to, Hellscythe? Why the sudden, last-minute switch?

[Alvron]

Silverblade.  No need for a pitch hitter Joe.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Time!

 

As little as 5 minutes ago, I could have posted the writeup at exactly 9:00. Now it's going to be a bit so I can process all these last minute changes. Guys! Seriously!

Turn 3: Brutality in the Senate.

Thud. Thud. Smack! Thud. Hiss

The furnace in the corner of the small stone room brought the temperature to absolutley sweltering degrees. Yosef had removed his overcoat, and the other two constables had rem0ved their hats and rolled their sleeves up as they worked. The dull sound of a fist hitting flesh was quickly becoming old.  But this man had proven unwilling to spill information about the Crime.. Yosef raised a hand, and the two sweaty constables stopped beating Senator Edris Calvert.

“You can stop the beating anytime you want Mr. Calvert. All you have to do is tell us who killed Matthew Machmuller.”

Edris lifted his head from his bare chest, revealing his broken nose, cracked lips, and blackening eyes. He was suspended from the floor by four chains, leading from his wrists and ankles to the walls. His body was cut, and burned, and bloody. His eyes were wide, and his lips quivered as he spoke.

“Please. I’ve told you everything I’ve ever done. Every crime. Please, let me go.”

Yosef dragged his ink stained finger down the list of crimes Edris had confessed to. “Petty theft, public drunkness, grand theft equine while drunk, and hiring a rioter to ruin an opponent speech n the last election. None of these involve the Governor.”

“That’s because I don’t know anything about the Governor! He was my friend! I would never help kill him! Please! You have to believe me!”

Yosef pursed his lips and gestured to the constables to continue. One stepped forward and drove his fist into Edris’s gut, lifting him a few inches into the air and expelling the air from his lungs. The second constable turned to the furnace, and withdrew the brand from it. The first Constable drew a knife from his pocket, and sliced a thin cut across the senator’s belly. The second pressed the burning iron to the wound.

The smell and sizzling sounds of burning flesh filled the room, and were quickly rendered unhearable by Calvert’s screams.

“Who killed Machmuller!”

“It was Chantelle! I swear!”

Yosef held a hand out and one of the constables slapped the knife into it. He stepped up, grabbed Edris’s right hand, and put the knife against the base of his middle finger. “This is your last chance Edris. Tell me who killed Machmuller, or I’ll take a finger.”

Edris sobbed, bloody tears running down his face as he stared at the ground, his body heaving with each labored breath. Yosef held his position for a long moment, then sighed and dropped his arms to his side.

He handed the knife back to the constable and walked to the door. He pushed it open, letting in the first breath of fresh cool air since they had started the interrogation. “Get those chains off him boys. Take him to the Holding cells. He’s not our man.”

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Alron. Aman.

[Alvron]

Sadly, what I feared would happen did happen.   Someone used a search warrant on me.

 

However, I now have their warrant.

 

Also, for those wondering, Ripple had a Med-Kit and 2 Bags of Boxings in addition to the Ledger and Dagger.

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Excellent! Alvron for Governor.

 

I'm very worried about such a large cache of items in random hands, though.

[Master Elodin]

How does the search warrant work though? Why do they get the search warrant? If that worked in real life, having your house searched would be profitable.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

It's a forged Search Warrant. No one could think of a better name than that.

[Master Elodin]

Ok.

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

Yeah, this pretty much clears Alvron. (Darn you, I wanted be Governor!) Joe, does becoming Governor happen before any of the items?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Order of actions is:

Warrant

Everything not stated

Lynch

Dagger.

 

So it comes before the dagger.

[Alvron]

So I could become Governor before being stabbed in the back.  Um, yay?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

You could become governor, then laugh as the constables foil any assassins that try to stab you in the back. The governor is untargetable by items. (It does make it a bit harder to acquire boxings as you can't be bribed.)

 

Also, important Note: Tomorrow is April Fool's day. I will not be playing any pranks and I will be very cross with anyone who disrupts that game with pranks. (Normal levels of trollishness are acceptable, encouraged even. Just please don't ruin the game.)

[Alvron]

Fantastic.  Alvron for Gov.

 

Don't worry Lopen.  As long as you teach me how to shoot lightning from my fingers, you shall have a valued place at my side.

 

Also, Aman, pay up.  75% to Maill, 25% to me.

[Master Elodin]

Yes. Alvron for governor.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

 

Can the Governor pardon arrested Senators?

That would be so broken. No.

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

Don't worry Lopen.  As long as you teach me how to shoot lightning from my fingers, you shall have a valued place at my side.

 

Learning how to do that is a pathway to many abilities that some consider to be unnatural.

[Mark IV he/him]

Might as well do this. Alvron

I'm guessing the eliminators started with a search warrant instead of a dagger (I'm going to call it a knife now). So, as soon as Alv revealed that he had a knife, bam! There it goes. I'm betting the eliminators did steal it, but it would be very hard to get it back without being noticed. I'd keep an eye out for people who die due to the knife and with just one or two votes on them.

Alron.

I would pay up, but I have nothing to give. Started with 0 Boxings

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

Alron.

I would pay up, but I have nothing to pay. Started with O Boxings

 

From what I hear, Alv doesn't exactly deal in money.
