I wear black shoes.

They're made of iron and were bound to my feet as punishment for some unspecified thing I didn't do a long time ago.  They usually prevent me from dancing and make me walk like an old woman.

However, I've been able to walk normally and dance since I arrived at the castle due to hearing some beautiful and maybe magical music (this part may relate to somebody else's role).  I was thus able to dance with the Prince, and that gave me newly discovered confidence which means my vote counts twice.  However, my role PM vaguely implies that this confidence will be gone if I stop dancing.

My first night's flavour didn't seem too relevant.  I heard some fairly sad music, and thought about whether webadict was really a swan or a girl.

On night two I had a dream.  I was in a ballgown and expecting the Prince, but instead an invisible figure danced with me.  I accidentally trod on her foot (which turned visible afterwards) before seeing a patch of decorated white cloth around its invisible waist, after which I realized it was a woman.  We danced a bit more before it revealed itself as Jim Groovester who stands with the prince and disappeared.  I kept waiting afterwards.

So, explicitly linked roles:

webadict <-> Ottofar: Black and white swans.  Rival sisters.
zombie urist -> Jim Groovester <- Solifuge.  Servant -> Goddess <- Servant?  Jim's dream powers make it fairly likely.
Griffionday -> Currently unknown duck

Implicit links:
NQT (gardener sage) <-> Toaster (plant)
Leafsnail -> Currently unknown musician

As far as I can tell we have no claims from TheWetSheep, Lenglon, Tiruin or webadict II.  If two of the unclaimed people are the Duck and Musician and the other two are linked then we could have all the links sorted.

"I... I'm Lenglon the Lilly. I used to be a lilly grown here, in the castle gardens, but... but I suddenly became a girl. I still don't understand why or how. I'm a member of the LILLY CLAN. I've been rather scared because I can't seem to eat dirt anymore, and my feet can't drink water, although I've had some help adjusting from the rest of you. I... I tend to think in all lower case, but my clan's name is in all caps, similarly to what Toaster has said about herself. When Jim came to me, I... I was a lilly again, with twelve other lilies surrounding me. That's what I meant by being changed into... well, a form I knew very well."
"I... what? I don't know... um, Zombie, I don't understand what you're saying, but it clearly has something to do with me. I don't remember anything about a... QES?-thing? from back then. I don't even... what?"

Read the purple text for my claim
I can confirm Toaster actioned Web last night, as well as most of Toaster's flavor paralleling my own.
Jim: why did you ignore my questions?
lenglon should have a qes day 1 pfp
I don't even know what you're talking about. PMing Vector now.

There has to be a combination of 2s and 3s.

I'm afraid I'm your opposite in a way, Leafsnail. I've been a magnificent dancer all of my life, thanks to my red slippers. But, the reason for this is that the slippers are cursed. I must dance whenever I hear music, and I would wish dearly that I could dance of my own accord. I also know there's a musician around here, making us a trio.

Last Night, I had an odd dream where even though I heard music, I didn't have to dance, and in fact I could remove my slippers, and it was magnificent, and then Jim appeared and said Prince-standing stuff, and then I woke up.

My previous role was the White Swan, the opposite of the Black Swan. And look at that, I've been ninja'd. Oh well.

Oh right, and Jim: generally, a Sleeping Goddess in a mafia game doesn't merely perceive things with her dreams.  She changes the world to fit her dreams.  That is to say, if a Sleeping Goddess were to imagine threats to a Prince, threats would appear.

Actually, I think the inexplicable animation of Lenglon and Toaster may be something to do with you.  Could you try asking Vector if you've ever had any dreams about plants becoming human or anything?

So that makes Tiruin and TWS our duck and musician, I suppose.

I couldn't see any flavor hints in their early posts.

Updated linked roles:

webadict I <-> Ottofar: Black and white swans.  Rival sisters.
zombie urist -> Jim Groovester <- Solifuge
Griffionday (<?)-> Currently unknown duck
Toaster -> NQT <- Lenglon
Leafsnail -> Currently unknown musician <- webadict II

That would seem to imply we have three sets of three and two sets of two.  It seems like:

- Players in a pair know of the other player in their pair, assuming this holds true for the duck.  The people in a pair are on equal footing (sisters, or lovers).
- Each trio seems to have two equivalent (opposite?) members (me and webadict II, Toaster and Lenglon, zombie urist and Solifuge) and then an "odd one out" (the unknown musician, NQT, Jim).

Could we talk about flowers for a moment, by the way?  We were all wearing red roses at the start.  My role PM mentions me wearing yellow roses later.  Does anyone have any mentions of wearing lillies in theirs?

The two pairs may have an NPC third member - for the swans it could be the Prince, and for the lovers it could be the Prince's older brother.  That would make the scheme for those people:

webadict II -> Prince <- Ottofar
Griffionday -> Unknown duck <- Prince's older brother

That would mean the goddess is doing something with two opposed forces and a mediator in the middle, maybe.

zombie urist -> Jim Groovester <- Solifuge
Griffionday (<?)-> Currently unknown duck
Toaster -> NQT <- Lenglon
Leafsnail -> Currently unknown musician <- webadict II

Updated with flipped alignments.  Perhaps each "set" contains one anti-town person?  Three mafia is expected in a 13 player game, with two third parties seeming to be reasonable.

PPE:  That does seem possible, with two pairs competing for the affection of the central person?  Except I'd say the duck connection is a stretch, especially without the claim of the duck.


As an aside, Vector wants us to remember the them of "Love and Synthesis."  I remarked to her that perhaps Photosynthesis was more appropriate.
