Sorry no more time for detailed thoughts. Remember my questions. Well, at least I can sleep a bit more. Wished I could be more useful but I guess that's what you get from a sleepy/bad performence me.

Re: M1019 – Once Upon A Time… [GAME THREAD] [HIDDEN]
THE MORNING SUN crawls through the rafters of the abandoned church. Once a thriving center of village life, the derelict house of worship stands alone amidst the ruins of homes and walls of an old town by the sea, desecrated and demolished in a brutal raiding expedition by the Norsemen. The stone walls of the church survived the onslaught, and the structure now stands watch, a silent sentinel breathlessly mourning the transition of a town to a tomb, a monument to life once lived, and now forgotten, and consigned to oblivion.
Yet not all within the church’s walls are breathless, not all life extinguished. Squirrels and other rodents of the woods reclaim a rafter here, a cranny there, to hide their young within the sanctuary. Birds make rest and sometimes make nest atop the roof. Grasses and flowers bloom in the exposed earth of the church floor.
And this night, these reclaimers were joined by four human vessels, and one soul.
The man groans in pain, sprawled out at the foot of the altar, blood slowly seeping into the earth from multiple leg wounds. He struggles to breathe through broken ribs, clutching his sword in a futile gesture of defiance at his fate to come. His soul will soon depart his body—how is the question.
The other three entities have an answer.
“Don’t want to die now, do you?” cackles one of the damned from the shadows. “Cling to your promises of afterlife as you helplessly cling to that old prop of yours, or perhaps place your hopes in something real.”
“Stay back! I’ll kill you!” The panic escapes in his voice, and his hunters laugh all the harder at his impotent warning.
“You’ll be doing none of that,” retorts another. “Now sit still. This will only take a moment. We’ll have you all better soon.” The three beings shamble toward the doomed man. He swings his blade despite the pain, crying in agony as his own broken ribs spite him further. The monsters laugh and continue their approach.
“Only one way out…” The man springs to his feet and climbs atop the altar, fighting through his crippling injuries in a final burst of adrenaline. He points the blade menacingly at the creatures, to no effect.
Then, he turns the blade on himself.
One of the horrors laughs maniacally. “You might as well join us if you’re going to do that! You’ll be no less damned for taking your own life than selling your soul.”
“If I am to be damned regardless…” The man coughs, and the sickening iron taste of his own blood rises in his mouth. “Then at least I shall prevent you from using me for your wicked ends.”
The man closes his eyes. “Vergib mir, Vater.”
KARLA stirs awake. Startled, she thrusts out into the dark, slowly regaining her bearings with the aid of the twilight sun.
Two tiny gravestones lie in front of her, a cross standing guard between them. Karla knows them all too well, the names etched forever in her heart as into the stone: EDGAR and OLIVIA, her two youngest children, who arrived in this world on the same day and departed on the same day. A plague stole them all too soon… four years? five? She struggles even to recall. How long has it been?
She scratches her head, brushing her hair. How long have I been here? Did I sleep here?
She looks down in her lap. A knife, a ring, and a pendant. Everything comes rushing back.
Helga… I’m so sorry. Henry… Simon…
The torrent of tears, held at bay first by resolve for vengeance, then by exhausted slumber, break through.
She first takes the pendant, and places the necklace around the cross next to the gravestones. Henry, my boy. I promised you I’d keep you safe. I’m so sorry…
Next, the ring, resting at the base of the cross. Simon, how could you leave me so soon? We left so much unfinished. We had so many dreams…
Karla stares at the knife as demonic visions dance in her mind’s eye. A voice, familiar yet not her own, silently shouts inside her head. JOIN THEM.
She sheaths the dagger and rises. “I’ll see you soon, loves. But I still have work to do.”

Yknow I kinda believe kaka? Or do I just fall for that adorable foreign innocence?
Re: M1019 – Once Upon A Time… [GAME THREAD] [HIDDEN]
In what world does the mafia leave the only investigative role alive in a game without a roleblock?
Re: M1019 – Once Upon A Time… [GAME THREAD] [HIDDEN]
Well we saw what happened last game... Either way kaka is either getting tracks in or another person is. No reason to off him today or until a cc
Re: M1019 – Once Upon A Time… [GAME THREAD] [HIDDEN]
Yeah, I just don't see much reason to believe him.
Re: M1019 – Once Upon A Time… [GAME THREAD] [HIDDEN]
Translate that German thing he said for damo pls
Re: M1019 – Once Upon A Time… [GAME THREAD] [HIDDEN]
I'm on the hunt. If I live.
Re: M1019 – Once Upon A Time… [GAME THREAD] [HIDDEN]
I don't know, maybe they think I'm a valid dayvote? Also from the setup it's actually a pretty weak scan role. Come to think about it, if you play it wrong, you might just out your other PR's. And if they send someone do the nk'ing who is broadly townread, it's highly unlikely to target that person for a scan, isn't it? Maybe I should change my scan behaviour.
