As the dwindled ranks of the neighborhood looked at eachother along the street, they noticed something strange -- there were
four less of them than there were last evening. The seven people left quickly tried to figure out who was missing, and soon they were all jogging towards F1fth's house, and grabbing his key from under the "Welcome" mat.
They found him in the hallway, next to his upstairs bedroom, with a nasty wound on the head -- it looked as if he had been hit hard in the back of the head with a blunt object. The ones in the front turned away quickly, and so did each of them as soon as they saw. Someone noticed some scratch paper lying around his living room, on which he had taken notes about his dog's apparent ability to detect killers... the paper was crumpled and torn, but still readable. Everyone's heart sank, but they were becoming used to this horrible feeling... whoever was killing off their neighbors seemed to be unstoppable. Some of them began to prepare plans to move from the neighborhood, and quickly.
F1fth pmchugh (Dog Owner/investigative > Depressed Man/limited) is dead.
Walking quickly back onto the street, they walked straight to the house of the next absent person -- FloresDelMal. Inside, they soon spotted her lying on her back on the stairs. There was dried blood running in a series of coagulated waterfalls down to a pool at the base. Eventually, someone had the nerve to turn her over -- revealing a knife wound in the back, into her heart. One detail, however, changed the scene from one of despair to one of surprise. Lying a few steps above her on the stairs was a large, heavy, ornamental candlestick, caked in blood. Further (reluctant) investigation of her corpse revealed a gun.
FloresDelMal (Barista/killer) is dead.
A search of her house and shop did not reveal any further clues, or any important papers at all...
Stepping into the street again, they were greeted by mr. incrediball, just emerging from his house (
you guys decided that ink was the wife, right?). He looked upset and tired, and explained that Inkl0sed had passed out last night, and couldn't be awakened. He planned to stay with her until she woke up, and would be along to the meeting shortly. [mr. incrediball may post within the first seven player posts of this morning, but then will be unable to post until the time that ink recovers].
Day 4 beginsWith 9 alive it takes 5 to approve execution..A few things I want to mention:
--I consider "roles," "characters," and "players" as separate things. The character is the story, the who, the in-story person. The player is, of course, the person on the forums controlling them. The "role" is comprised of what actions they can take, what their win condition is, and what limitations or effects are on their play.
--As always, it is possible to observe or investigate dead people if you so choose.
--Any comments on how the game is being run, please feel free to PM them to me. I'm always open to constructive criticism (or compliments

). Also, it would be very interesting for me to hear your thoughts and theories; it's easier and more fun to mod when I know what you've figured out, or what you're wondering.
