At the Town Square....
Bala looks down again on the 17 Townies....so much confusion rides the atmosphere, despite a decisive vote. Not so decisive if you null out the folks who are determined to take control.
The Townies throw the rope up high, a terrible burden for Bala to have to endure, once again.
The chosen is dragged to the noose, but with little fight, as they hold to their convictions. It wouldn't be of any good to turn, Bala thinks, as he feels he is surrounded.
The crowd hoists on the rope, brining an end to the victim, but not to their current string of poor choices. Seems for every step forward they always fail to follow thru, and take two steps back.
The victim passes, with ACville no more.
nickmcmechan was just an innocent.....
As the Townies realize their mistake, once again, they contemplate how their individual actions got them here. Were they actually led, or at their own misdirection and folly...?
The Mafia, still at full strength, go out on their mission. Despite the hour, the town is even more quiet than normal, a hush of impending doom and the confidence that tommorrow, victory will be in the Mafia's grasp.
The victim, silent in this last day, is dispatched with skill and swiftness.
Dwarf Puffers was just an nnocent....
15 Townies left, 8 Innocents, 7 Mafia.....
The Dawn rises on Day #5.
Bala reads the faces of those that pass by on their way to daily tasks. Almost a 50/50 split on the emotions displayed. Will they.....
KOTD passes on the edge of the square, noticed but not obtrusive to most, like a mentor.
sploke continues on as before, but with an increased tempo.
plantling raises questions that can all but be heard as they cross the square.
Jensons just picks their favorite bench, relaxing, with no fear.
The Detective must be out and about...wonder what their thoughts are?
And what of the Vig? Too timid for a decision and shy to chance it?
...will they finally pull together?.....asks Bala.
Game On....Day 5 begins....
