Day 5
Apparition or not, the once "dead" Naera returns to living. New friend Kal takes her in, as both attempt to survive perils that lie ahead. They converse and catch up on days each has missed, as well as figure out how to conduct their next days in town. Maybe they'll find reason for start of all this. Maybe just get rid of cause. Or maybe die trying. Whatever the case, they do what they can.
Mayor, finally elected, sits in office reviewing paperwork. Papers strewn over desk remark horrible state of town. One notice, highlighted and circled for emphasis, catches his eye. He begins reading:
"How to be Mayor:
1) Public appreciation. If they like you, you stay! If not, well... you don't want to be in that position. It's never pretty when a Mayor gets replaced. My predecessor is, well, predeceased, if you get my drift.
2) Know a lot. Stop their plans before they get you! If you know you're unliked, just get rid of those pesky traitors! Then your subjects will like you even more.
3) Keep your enemies closer. Yes, you thought I didn't know, right, my Advisor? Well, take your coup d'etat if you wish. My replacement will take over just the same.
4) Backup plans! You know what they are... but not mine. You have so much more to learn, Mr. Advisor, if you want to keep your role here in town. The plan's already in motion, and there's little you can do to stop it.
P.S. If my Advisor is not the first to find this, I've sorely overestimated your abilities. And so, this town will obliterate your faction. The distress call has been sent, and you have been warned.
To the reader: Good luck in your new position! I trust you've worked hard to earn it. And to keep it..."
Today, yet again, Mob forms, this time to discuss strangeness of previous night. Sure, there was shooting, but was it really the same people? They had been defeated. These were just imitators. Weren't they? Mob mutters amongst self, unsure who to pick. Executioner steps up, "Can't decide who's guilty? That guy over there is. See him? Back of crowd, hiding, running now. Catch him!" Confused mob chases after Fleeing man, bringing him up to gallows. Resisting figure is held below axe, as it falls...
Rewind time, man enters town, Magician, judging by cloak and hat. He stands near gallows, observing the day's trial, tutting in admonishment. "What a shame. He's completely innocent, you know. Poor soul." As axe falls toward man, smoke appears on gallows stage! When clears, Magician and the Fleeing have switched places! And the axe lies on floor! To further complicate matters, Magician holds sword made entirely of folded paper! "Ah, ah, ah! No killing innocent people here. This is a civil town. How would you like it if you were in his place?" So it is, as paper sword swings, followed by bang and puff of smoke.
In confusion, people stare, seeing flowers take the place of a paper sword. So does a rose appear on Executioner's chest, as feet fail and crumble under him. "Well. Not what I expected" as Magician disappears in puff of smoke to leave Eternis lying there, colored bandana veiling his face. His axe has mysteriously disappeared as well. Remainder of mob flees, to return home until night. In fear of death...
