And it doesn't seem so. My shoes were a gift from someone that later turned out to be a not very nice person.
What's that, Princess Red Shoes? You want me to kill the Prince? But the Prince is ever so kind. What? Your shoes came from the feet of a psychotic killer? Then I have no choice.

zombie urist blesses Webadict's shoes

ZU: Expound on this. Why. How.
I'm pretty sure I already answered this. Its because I protected her N1.
So everyone you protect gets a QES?
Apparently not since Lenglon doesn't have one.

ZU: What do you know about spirits?
Nothing.

ZU: Why are you claiming doctor at this time?
I felt like I was going to get lynched anyways.

Webadict: Can you take off your shoes? If you tap your shoes together do you go home? Does anything bad happen to you if the musician dies?

Toaster, Lenglon: Did your role change after the gardener died?

Leafsnail: I note that you didn't claim either. Only note being shoes, you flirting (being trivial as you said), and what happened during N1/2. What did you do during those times?
I did claim, though.  I claimed my role before my flavourclaim, and again when I was making my flavourclaim, so I'm not sure how you missed it.

I'm a blesser, not a fighter.
Can you explain the flavour reason for you supporting the town?

LS, Web: Does anything happen to you guys if the musician dies?
There's nothing explicit in the role PM, but it implies I'd lose my power.

Sheep:
So far, I think the most suspicious people, based on roleclaims, are Lenglon and Toaster. You both have clans, but... nobody else is in them?

No, but I would assume there are lots of flowers in them.


Tiruin:
> ...My role has never been touched. Why did Jim become a Goddess, exactly? What's your thoughts on it? Same goes to Leafsnail, Toaster, Lenglon and TWS...And ZU.

Well, either the suggestion that Solifuge was something of a handler and released some restraints on Jim, or that Ottofar's modkill changed the rules somehow.


Zombie U:
Toaster, Lenglon: Did your role change after the gardener died?

No.



The next two days look to be godawful timewise, so let me extend and actually vote Zombie Urist for now.  I don't have a logical reason why right now, but my gut is screaming "scum scum scum."

Yeah, I'll give my part on why this is so suspicious--but that at least one of you may be more innocent than the rest. Excuse the vague level of suspicion here, but I'm making up yon post.

Oh, and exams.

Let's set the 'modkill' note as null and void, please. It's a part nobody had any control over so I'm placing it under a grey zone.

Partial reread complete. I reread Days 2 and 3.

I should've gone to bed two hours ago.

VOTE COUNT

This is probably what the Princess Amendment should've been; while posting you have to listen to a playlist of classical music.

See how much swearing happens with that going on.

"Indeed, I was emboldened by their straightforward bravery," says the Prince.  "They sorted themselves according to common characteristics and departed for different parts of the castle to plot, acting on their own initiative, and sometimes gathering again in the great hall to discuss.  These women who I had thought so simple and so mild politely bared the gleaming teeth of their intellects."

HMM INTERESTING

Splitting off into groups according to common characteristics and heading off into different parts of the castle.

HMM INTERESTING

Now what could that be all about?

HMM INTERESTING

"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.

Did Horatio knowingly kill the White Swan or was he under the influence of some sort of power?

And then Tiruin's N1 flavor seems to suggest that Horatio didn't know what was happening.

And then Solifuge's dying words were about sacrifice.

We don't seem to be directly kill people, instead terrible things happen to them. I suspect I may be partially or entirely responsible for this.

So you're not a duck but you're the person Griffionday was looking for.
...

I'll just say a general 'yes'. Because you don't seem to respect subtlety.

Are you or have you been a duck or other feathered creature?

Can it be said that you both walk like a duck and talk like a duck?

Well, either the suggestion that Solifuge was something of a handler and released some restraints on Jim, or that Ottofar's modkill changed the rules somehow.

On clarifying with Vector, my transformation into Dreaming Goddess was not a timed event, it was in response to something. Vector describes it as something that was draining me was removed.

Spy's princess sapping mah sentry dream powers.

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

Do these songs have names?

The next two days look to be godawful timewise, so let me extend and actually vote Zombie Urist for now.  I don't have a logical reason why right now, but my gut is screaming "scum scum scum."

This is about as shitty a vote can get.

You don't even have a shitty reason for why zombie urist is making your gut scream bloody murder.

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.

Why is your N1 flavor so sparse?

Tiruin has no active action and managed to get a PM full of chatting with the Prince and stuff. Lenglon has an action, and yet her PM was filled with things unrelated to it like eating dirt and trying to soak water through her feet. Toster has an action, but managed to chill out with the Prince and convince him to bury the White Swan in the rose garden. TheWetSheep did nothing with his action and still managed to chat up with the Prince.

Point being, even if they don't have an action, and even when they do, people still went out and did something. Sitting around listening to music wondering whether Wubadubadoo was a swan or a girl seems pretty passive and out of place for N1 flavor.

Unless, of course, you were out doing something, but you couldn't claim it for incriminating reasons.

Leafsnail.

"Um, when NQT died, I... I was upset at the loss, but her death didn't change what I'm able to do or anything."

Why were you upset at the loss?

What was your character's opinion of him? Did you know him before you became a real girl?

Toaster, you can answer these questions too.

Wubadubadoodle, any similarities of your role to the fairy tale of the red shoes beyond the cursed, dancing red shoes?

Also, Vector saying that the forces of good would do their best to close the information gap still doesn't convince you to claim as much as possible?

True. But what box are we thinking in, in the first place-is what baffles me.

The information gap is what precludes all townies being town-distrust blah blah.

But I've a feeling that scum can't wriggle out of this one.

So you're not a duck but you're the person Griffionday was looking for.

"Ah, good, we get more pointy. I can act like one, yeah. I bet you can too, or did you not take acting lessons from the local bard? On whether I've been one or not-that's up to the imagination, isn't it? I mean..I do usually fantasize of being a knight one day.

"And..err, that's pretty rude of you to tell me that. Do you have a problem with my country of origin? That my accent is different from yours? Look, I know that I'm technically 'foreign' from these parts, but that's no case to put on me. I'll label that as ignorance at the moment."


Tiruin raises an eyebrow and strides over to punch you on the shoulder, in a friendly-way.

"But I'll take it upon insult and put that off as a comely joke. Because that hurts my self-esteem. Hypothetically, why would you want to know any of your implications there?"

..Yeah.



"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.

Actually, Horatio didn't know if he actually knew. I parsed that as confusion. Then, he told me that his mind was full-set on it. It's like trauma: you remember, and you think..and in a simple way you don't even know if you knew.

You broke the link to mine by the way.

This (your notes in the post) is forwarding my suspicion I said earlier. Well..a post earlier before I shamelessly fell asleep on my textbook >.> But yeah. I'm noting it down.

Remember those herbs and other fragrances that we've seen Solifuge use before she..expired? And the note on spirits (which I allude to pure flavor only because..err, I know nothing about it)
...Jim: "Are you fancy of any perfumes or odorous objects? Herbs or any good fragrances? Any allergies or any knowledge of getting affected by such substances?"

No, no, also no.

Are you all out of questions yet?

I believe that..(ok I'm not sure if this is realistic but I'll just lower my voice).

Either this castle is cursed-the prince is cursed-or the BSC [Black Swan Cohort]..or in an unexplainable way-Jim (which I doubt), is the cause of all this.

Like maaaagic~ Unexplained deeds being done at the lynch? Notes on 'Death walks this hall'? The forces of Good should band together, as I'm firmly under the suspicion that the scumteam is well damn armed with info on this matter.

...

"Also are you in..y'know, 'that', Jim? You sound rather agitated..I mean, I don't blame you if you are...but cut down on the..the..."

Tiruin assumes the stance of a tiger bearing its paws..well, claws and flails them about.
"well, that."
(Remember the Princess rule?)

...

Tiruin turns around and looks at the Prince, asking him again.
"Milord, was Horatio exposed to any sort of flower or..pretty much receiving any kind of gift or fragrance back before 'that' dinner? Are there any aromaticobjects you keep here-on your person or by someone else?

"And how many gowns in all were needed by all of us whence we first entered? As in, how many were given?"


...And on a total skim-read note which I think is irrelevant but then my intuition tells me to say: I pictured the yellow diary as what I recall reading somewhere as The King in Yellow or somesuch like that. Heard it from a book I heard from a friend. Meh.

I have never read that tale. Huh. There's some similarities, but it's not really the same. I'm assuming, knowing Vector, that these similarities are completely on purpose.

And no. I DON'T feel like claiming my role. I don't really care what Vector says. Closing the information gap doesn't mean claiming every single thing. All that does is create targets. I've given everything that was necessary.

Oh, and don't ask whether Tiruin is a duck. Say she is a duck. Tiruin, you're a duck.

And you think you'll be a more prominent target..how? If town, refusing to claim makes it all the spicier. Or saltier. Or something of value. If scum...well, that explains itself--though I'm pretty sure Scum Webadict (okami) could come up with a better reason than outright No.

Can you directly claim your role?

Maybe I'll be a better target. Maybe I won't. Doesn't really matter if I never reveal my role. I already gave you the name and the flavor, so there's no real excuse for giving my role.

I could directly claim my role if I wanted to. But I don't want to. There's no justifiable reason to claim at this moment. I don't get why claiming would be useful for anyone BUT scum.

Leafsnail:
Did you do it or didn't you?
My role PM suggested no and that I didn't want to remember what event led to my cursed shoes.  When I asked Vector to have me recall she said that yes, I had breached someone's trust.  I think the role PM being wrong was due to my character's repression of the memory.
Okay.

A very good question that you should probably ask Griffinpup. I replaced in after N1.
Ok then.  Why didn't you use the nightkill blocker on night two?
1: I thought there might be a more important time to use it later on(I'm generally conservative with night actions)
2: I thought there might be no scumkill, since there probably wasn't N1.

TWS: Are you male or female?
Female.

Toaster:
Sheep:
So far, I think the most suspicious people, based on roleclaims, are Lenglon and Toaster. You both have clans, but... nobody else is in them?

No, but I would assume there are lots of flowers in them.
Hmmm. Odd, that there would be clans that get mentioned so often in your role PMs that have nobody else in them and no real relevance to the game. I feel like there must be something more important here. Maybe you two are competing for flower-mastery or something?



I feel like we shouldn't lynch ZU. Jim is probably the most important role here, and getting rid of both of the people who are protecting him feels like a bad idea.
