Oh bloody piece of cake.

Tiruin addresses the Prince: "Sir Prince, may I..also ask one thing. Please don't tire of this.

"Do you remember what you did on the day we found Ms. Lovelace? Before the Black Swan was found over the White Swan's grave? Do you remember, and recall in exact what you did that day?"

ZU
QES is quod erat sanctifactum
Meaning?

You aren't even responding to my query, sir.
lenglon should have a qes day 1 pfp
Why should she?

Should we no lynch?
[...]
Please respond to my queries >_>
I'm pretty sure I got all of them but I'm too busy to check. Sorry.
Why in the world should we no lynch?!
Why in the world are you too busy to check, and yet reply without even answering them? :I Look, I can understand you're busy, but leave a note lest I grab more of this suspicion and stuff it down your throat by the spoonful. Because you're seemingly ignoring me, for a follower of this 'goddess'. Pretty rude.
Please read, or are you being lazy, again?
QES roughly means "which needed to be blessed" I think, even though sanctifactum isn't a real latin word (AFAIK)
I protected Lenglon N1 and Jin N2 and Jim got a notification, so I assumed Lenglon would get one also.
Dunno I'm just throwing that out as an option.
I'm pretty sure I answered every question in that post.

Can we lynch Horatio? He's a butler right? Aren't they traditionally bad guys? Burying dudes in a rose garden is pretty sinister.

"Prince!  Didn't one of us fall asleep here, three days ago?  I thought she said something."
"Oh--yes, someone did," says the Prince.  "An amusing tale.  We were taking our midday meal when her eyes fluttered shut and she dropped, face-first, into the stew.  We rushed to help her, but she did not awaken--she was clearly asleep, not merely unconscious.  And then, as she was carried from the hall to be put to bed, she mumbled:
'A-aroma liquor.'
"She had the adorable habit of talking in her sleep, it seemed.  You cannot help remembering such things.  Then, louder, beginning to tremble in her sleep, she said:
"'Death walks here.'
"And from then on she said nothing more.  The poor girl must have come from a plague-struck village or similar...

I'd oppose this, because he's a good guy to me, butthere's something..wrong. Ask the Prince for more info. I'm waiting on it.

Also, three questions. What happened when you doctor'd them-why did you doctor Jim/Lenglon? And why are you ignoring me poking at you ignoring Leafsnail's vote on you?

I did not get notification of any action on N2. I only received notification of an action on N1, but not the type of action, and only because it interrupted by own.

The poor girl must have come from a plague-struck village or similar...

The incident described is how I alerted everybody to the threats to the Prince, as indicated to me in my role PM. I'm not of noble birth, so the Prince's comment here isn't so unusual.

Pretty sure that's what it is, anyway.

I'm going to satisfy my curiosity.

"Prince!  Didn't one of us fall asleep here, three days ago?  I thought she said something."

"Sir Prince, may I ask what Horatio meant--and by this I mean no disrespect for I understand the worry he's under--by 'I killed her', pertaining to the death of the White Swan? What had happened to her?"

[. . .]

"And forgive my pressing, dear Prince. But my curiosity has to be given word in this matter. Are there any significant things that you did during the night of the death of the White Swan?" Tiruin asked, wondering about that book he was reading..must either be about Euclid judging by what she heard, but still.. "Oh, and that book you were just reading. Apologies for my pondering."

ADDENDUM (just for style points I formatted this): "And..and one last question for now, if-if that's ok. Do you know who Sigfred is?" Tiruin said at the Prince. "I heard that name before. Or Sigred. Things like that along that matter anyway..."

"Do you remember what you did on the day we found Ms. Lovelace? Before the Black Swan was found over the White Swan's grave? Do you remember, and recall in exact what you did that day?"

Tiruin coughs. "-and why Horatio seemed upset earlier-like he was mad at you (or someone), as far as we gathered, at that time?"



The Prince sits back in his chair and just sort of looks at you for a while.

"I am Sigfred, prince of this domain," he says.  "This is my elder brother's diary.  He died in a cathedral far from here, having abandoned his land.  Buried alive.  This I am told by troubadours.  My younger brother left to find his corpse and came home to die.  They were troubled men.

"On the first night one of the girls said she wanted to eat a white swan.  It seemed strange but I remembered that many of the girls had not had such treats thanks to their common upbringing, and so I told Horatio to go slaughter one.  He did.  Then he sent her to the chefs, who prepared and dressed the body.  They brought it out; he tasted it; and then the illusion disappeared, and we rediscovered one of the girls.  You must remember that.

"Afterwards he buried her beneath the rose bushes at the castle walls, between bouts of violent illness.  He would not permit me to order anyone else to do it.  Neither he nor I slept that night; he for sickness, and I for caring for him.  When at last he could sleep it was dawn, and so I left him in my bed and went to awaken the girls myself.

"That was when I found my younger brother.  You saw his body.  A kind of confusion came over me.  I didn't--

"How ought we respond to the death of a companion?  If our thoughts blur when faced by moral corruption, is it morally wrong?  We had to find his killer, of course.  I had no time to mourn him.  Why was he here, unannounced, wearing women's clothes. . . and why did I not recognize him?  These questions swam and occupied my mind.  But I could not be overcome by guilt and sorrow when the manlier thought would be of vengeance.  Indeed.  What King would cry when approached with such a situation, when he could instead take up a blade?

"And so what I remember of that day is only a howl of voices shouting for Solifuge's neck.  I remember searching the castle from room to room with the girls following as we looked for him.  It took hours--we searched the grounds, alerted the guards, combed every hiding place, swept the catacombs--as you remember, because you were with me the entire day--until finally at noon we found the bodies.  No one would touch them due to the arcane markings, the trappings of pagan worship, so when he woke Horatio buried three more corpses.  Brave, clear-sighted soul!

"He was cross that I did not wake him because he was concerned for my welfare, and because he had known my younger brother, and would have helped us search.  We asked the cooks who had not fled to prepare a light meal, tried to eat, and spent the evening comforting each other.

"That night we both had strange, troubled dreams.  And that, I think, is all you had wanted to know?"

Tiruin pouts and looks to the side, wearing more of a pleased expression.

"Could I ask what happened in your dream? Erm, Horatio first--but only when he's ok, thanks." 'OK, don't bother the Prince on the diary even if its really important..noooooo. That would be so rude.' "But I've been pondering.

"Did you sense anything out of...well, weird things before you invited us all? My musings bring it to think upon witchcraft-like we're all under an illusion spell or whatnot."
'Or you're just naive like Horatio said..but that would also be rude and very mean. I'll just say you're cute. Yeah. "Pretty cute too.. I mean..I'm pretty sure we're that recognizable.

"Err, anyway. No questions. That last one was more of a hypothetical unless someone else has something to say."


Yeah I'm unsure. Anyone got notes on that or want to forward that thought? I'm really unsure if it is possible to annoy the Prince and am unsure if I did annoy him.

...

Bah.

"But if in case you aren't offended, could we know what happened?"

And so Tiruin asks again and everyone else seems so quiet and she's frowning on the inside at the quiet of everyone else and. :(

Seriously guys? Nobody talking?

I blame myself. I've been super busy these past few days. I probably won't be unbusy for some time, but I've got a few things to add:

Since we're princesses, do you think we were supposed to lynch? Look at how the Prince adds ONLY after we lynched someone that we resorted to killing. His story changes along with some of our choices, so if he hasn't said it yet, it's yet to be proven true or false.

EDIT: Wow, love when the forums don't send things in.

OK, so first my claim:

I am the musician. I play a balalaika. I met the prince while I was playing for a troupe of dancers. He seemed to take some special interest in me, even though he seemed distant and preoccupied when talking to me. A few days later he asked to play for him privately. A few days after that was when he started his search for a wife.

I have three one-shot actions, which take the form of songs I can play.

I can cause no NK's to go through
I can cause no protects and roleblocks to go through, and
I can cause all inspections to go through.

N1 I did nothing. My flavour involved me finding the Prince as he was going to attend to the sick Horatio.

N2 I used the 3rd action. I fell asleep, and drifted off all the way back home. I saw my mother who brought me food. She was extremely old, and I started to wonder if she was my mother at all. Then she looked at me and said in perfect Danish that she was Jim and loyal to the prince.

"Prince!  Didn't one of us fall asleep here, three days ago?  I thought she said something."
"Oh--yes, someone did," says the Prince.  "An amusing tale.  We were taking our midday meal when her eyes fluttered shut and she dropped, face-first, into the stew.  We rushed to help her, but she did not awaken--she was clearly asleep, not merely unconscious.  And then, as she was carried from the hall to be put to bed, she mumbled:
'A-aroma liquor.'
"She had the adorable habit of talking in her sleep, it seemed.  You cannot help remembering such things.  Then, louder, beginning to tremble in her sleep, she said:
"'Death walks here.'
"And from then on she said nothing more.  The poor girl must have come from a plague-struck village or similar...

Not me, as far as I know.



Something strikes me as interesting, ZU. Why would two mathematicians be following a goddess?



Now time to do a more exhaustive reread.
