are you telling me I replaced into a game and had less than 24 hours before day end?

WELP.

 

Day 1 has concluded.

​

The bedlam and chaos ravaging the noble city of Ba Sing Se is a sight to behold. As we congregate in the courtyard of Ba SingSe University in the Mid Ring, a gaggle of Earthbenders and non-benders alike jostle and whisper conspiracies to one another. Voices soar, tinged with anger and paranoia. Many of us have lost our memories in the wake of a great storm that had descended upon the great city in the past few days. In lieu of any official explanation, observers state that they witnessed a gargantuan owl glide in the night sky. Such hysteria has taken root, like a noxious weed. In this time of war, all is fair in talks of the Fire Nation's pernicious grasp. Yet who could believe neighbour would be pitted against neighbour? That accusations are thrown about the corridors and streets with no more than hearsay to support them?

Lunacy has truly penetrated this secret of walls and secrets, wafting like the stench of corpses, culminating in the transformation of our beloved University into an ad-hoc execution centre. For centuries, the people of the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes would stare in awe of the Earth Kingdom for possessing the most glorious and greatest academic institute in the Four Nations. Ranging from ancient scrolls on Sandbending to treatises on Biracial Eugenics and Winter Solstices' Relationship with Spiritual Synthesis, Ba Sing Se University explores every discipline and topic under the Agni Sun. Yet this pride and joy is now the eviscerating fist of mob justice.

In fact, the people of Ba Sing Se cleared the entire University quadrangle to erect an impromptu jury stand, inviting the Administrator Joo Dee to participate in these grisly affairs. That woman's vacant smile widens when accusations ricochet among the denizens as bombardments of shouts and screeches. Utter madness! And the sheer concept that the Fire Nation have infiltrated our ranks is ludicrous — Ba Sing Se is titled the City of Walls and Secrets for a reason. And then, the Dai Li, adorned in dank green and blank gazes, seized one of our own. They seized the terrified bystander, fixing them with stares as though the person were a mere insect on a pin. With a swift flick of the Dai Li's fingers, earth and rock lurched from the cobbles in the courtyard pavement and transformed into shackles on the victim's hands. The destination for the offender, BILL DOOR, is obvious: Lake Laogai. Screams of terror segued into the chants of the lynch mob. Jeers emblazoned on the people's faces.

As the day turned to night, I fear that sleep will not come easy tonight. Can we rest easy, knowing what has infiltrated Ba Sing Se? While the sunset bewitches all three Rings, I wonder whether we made the right choice. Fire Nation lurks in the darkness; their foul business continues ever more. May the Earth King's health be preserved, and may he not invite any further people to Lake Laogai.

Sleep peacefully, Ba Sing Se.

Night 1 has concluded.

​

I had awoken to the sound of distant shouting. Startled, I grabbed my belongings and raced outside. There was confusion in the morning air as I followed a pair of Earthbenders, as they bended open a new corridor through a series of buildings, to wherever the shouting was coming from. My confusion was replaced with dread as we headed towards a series of burgled apartments, and the whispers of my companions began to register in my then half-asleep mind. I knocked down a cabbage cart and a stand selling skewered chicken-pigs. Only then did I realise the true abyss of horror.

It had happened again.

There had been a death. I saw no point in questioning it. When I visited the body myself... it bore signs of incineration, the stench of burnt flesh wafting upwards like a funeral pyre fume. The insignia of the Fire Nation wavered in the background.

“Over here!” cried one of the Earthbenders. “We captured somebody. This person was trying to enter ika's appartments.”

I wheeled around and was confronted by the sight of two Earthbenders, bearing the sigil of the Earth King, dragging a young girl into the town square. White face-paint smeared over her cheeks, as long lashes blinked over vacant eyes. Although her long hair was splayed around in disarray and her green Kyoshi robes tattered like a burnt rag, one could tell that she held training and noble breeding. When she met my gaze, I recognised her immediately.

“Y-You're fontisian. The new refugee.” I could not disguise the shock in my voice. “What were you...”

One of the Earthbenders intervened. “We caught her attempting to break into ika's apartments.” The man's voice gained a darker tint. “She had already made clean work of Titus before attempting to kill ika. We believe that ika was thought to be the Avatar.”

Shocked, I reeled backward. How quickly are ranks were shrinking. I had surveyed the crowd of benders and non-benders alike that had congregated in our beloved neighbours’ homes. Were the Fire Nation there? Were the people who killed our neighbours among us? Was it going to happen again?

The thought of dark forces had infiltrated the City of Walls and Secrets is an unsettling one. But perhaps it is time that I accept it as reality.


Two of us did not survive the night. Firstly, a girl dressed in green broke into Zircon’s home and doused him in gasoline, before lighting a match on him. No evidence of his belongings remain, although all vestiges of Earth Kingdom sigils have vanished.

Fontisian the Infiltrator also sent Dai Li agents to Titus's home, killing Titus.

She ordered the Dai Li to ASSASSINATE ika as the Avatar, but failed.

May Zircon and Titus find their way to the Spirit World and find peace. Their spirits have passed on.

Sigh. That's what I get for basing rolereads off of deleted posts and and over eagerness to kill the avatar.

3 and 4 are still valid, as is 6. Reassess 5, though this result it may explain the initial reticence over the thing we discussed.

 

It was a typo. You're dead and ika is not. Please stop posting, for the love of God.

 

Sorry but am I missing something. Fontisian, aka ob scum has been outed but she's still alive? She isn't automatically murdered by the crowd or something in retaliation?

Also what is with the Zircon murder? He never posted so is that mod kill or ?

And also how is it fair for Fonti to be posting her "help notes" to her scum mates in this thread?

 

Titus, I murdered you to get you to stop talking.

Why isn't it fair? I intended to soup my way through all of you, but a night 2 soup works just as well.

 

fontisian is not dead. Failed assassinations only reveal her guilt; they don't kill her automatically. If you want to kill her, you will have to lynch her or use Jet to do it.

Zircon's death was a Night-Kill. Titus was Assassinated.

 

Titus, sorry to see you go and will try to match your crazy aggression going after the scum team.

 

Get on it then, little Lyrium. You don't really have much time left.

 

Fontisian, honey. You don't want to get on my bad side. I will eviscerate you in ways you cannot imagine. Anyway, you're less of interest now not that you ever were particularly anything but boring!scum.

Zeit, I asked some questions in my QT the answers to which would help a lot.

 

I wasn't the one who dropped loaves about my role on Day 1, sweetie.

 

Is that the best you can do? I think the prospect of being tunneled scared you so much you made a mistake in your reads.

We have plenty of time.. 48 hours...to make this a nice long day.

Going to go through posts right now and will look forward to coming back to your desperation and fear. Fun times.

 

Death is but the next great adventure, my dear. I'm in for the glory.

---------- Post automerged at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

Hmm, actually, 6 may be 2.

 

What I'd love for town to answer is, do we lynch this scum and a put a muzzle on her yap yap yap? Or do we lynch the other one first?

 

Getting business out of the way...

Deadline vote: fontisian

That was easy. Right now, ika is the only person who's probably Earth Kingdom. The Spirits should be protecting ika please, since that's our only townfirm at the moment. Do we want to entertain the possibility of lynching somebody else today so that we can get Jet to fire? That way, we can lynch fontisian tomorrow and find out whether Bill was innocent.

How do we feel about that idea?

---------- Post automerged at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

Alternatively Jet can aim his sword at fontisian. If fontisian dies during the night, we have mislynched two people. If fontisian is alive, then we've already killed an infiltrator. Is that plan too risky?

 

We are not lynching Font today

---------- Post automerged at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Step 1: Lynch outside Font/Ika

Step 2a: Vigilante shoot Font if possible
Step 2b: Titus (with/without Bill Door) protect Ika

IF Ika is dead
Bill Door is a dead infiltrator

IF Font is dead
Bill Door is a town spirit

IF Font is alive
Bill Door OR today's lynch is an Infiltrator

 

Okay, does that mean we should follow the Jet Plan instead? Because we could examine what happened yesterday and maybe try to kill two birds with one stone. Do we still want to stick with our previous hypothesis that Bill was guilty? I'm not sure if fontisian's guilt changes our perspective of Bill's potential alignment.

 

Ooh, now we're thinking.
