Tales of Kyou II: The Darkness (Game Thread)

[Murska]

Mechafox quick, busy.

[Kuma Da]

I got a reason:
At least one of you two is a wolf
If you want proof, I can provide a PM from Murska saying so

Well, now we all know which side you're on.

Edit: also, you're trusting murska?

evnafets points at Recaiden for starting the whole EmporerDemonking is Kyouhen confusion.

What I meant was, EDK, oh wait, he's not playing? Kyouhen.

Did... did I start a bandwagon against myself?

That is full of win.

[Fleeing Coward]

Looks like a few people already saw through my post so guess I'll be blunt even though this will probably mean a very short game for me.
I am Aegnor and tonight's my turn.
Anyone who wants to make statements about their role or anything else is more than welcome to do so although I'd prefer that the other power roles and neutrals contact me via PM.
I'll be making a huge list of statements about a number of player at the end of today (most of them lies) including one which I will actually check so the more information I have, the more productive my check tonight can be.
Baner protection for tonight would also be appreciated or I'd have done all this for nothing.

*Looks* It sure looks like it. Congratulations. That's the first time I've ever seen that happen, successfully.

I tried to help someone else do the same, but it didn't go as planned.

Eagle Wiz. Just because

((I am not Simone. I am just roleplaying Simone because I created her, and because this is a scene we played out.))

Ai was dead. Simone watched as Hope collapsed in tears, her mate Promise trying to comfort her. Bah. Foolishness. Hope was strong and fierce enough in battle to defeat anyone, but could be reduced to helplessness so easily.

It was obvious to Simone that they should leave Kyou at once, but the two barbarians wouldn't hear of it. Even if everyone else went, they insisted that they would stay to avenge Ai. And everyone else decided to stay as well. Loyalty. Or something.

And since Simone didn't have the means of travelling alone, that meant she was stuck here too. So she'd better learn all she could. She couldn't count on the party she travelled with. Miss Cessie had lived too sheltered a life and cared only for magic. Promise and Hope were barbarian warriors who were at home in the wilderness or on a battlefield but knew nothing of cities and seemed to make decisions based on honor rather than sense. Aegnor was the only one of them that she thought could survive on the streets. But she wouldn't trust him to protect her. She'd learned long ago to rely on no one but herself. The party all cared for each other, but Simone had only been hired as a translator. She was not one of them.

"Are you finish? I go to bed now?" Simone said, in the party's language of Western Common, one of many that she had learned growing up on the streets of a city built on trade.

"Simone, we are all staying together tonight," Promise said.

"We are?" Simone looked to Aegnor for confirmation.

"Yeah. We better."

Simone was silent for a moment, then said, "I go get my things."

As she slipped out the door, she heard Hope saying quietly to the others, "I can't remember if I ever told Ai how much he meant to me."

Simone went to her own room and left a note: I go learn more. I be back by dawn. Do not follow! To follow put me in more danger. I be safer alone.

She crept out of the inn and into the shadows of Kyou.

[Deathslayer7]

Unknown to others, a silent figure speed across the street, sticking to the shadows. Green eyes could be seen on occassion as they peaked out from her hood. She saw the strangers on her way her, and decided to follow them.

She had waited until night though to enter, so as to not draw attention to herself. She spotted a flicker of moment and froze. Across the street, someone ran, moving silently and stealthy as her. She watched with interest as who else might be moving around during this time of night.

Also, the Baner should probably save Fleeing Coward.

Not sure why he did that...

[Darkcomet]

In my experience, FC is usually telling the truth when he roleclaims, just looking at F/SN and Phantom.

Just offering my two cents on that.

[Deathslayer7]

really? cause somehow Phantom of the Opera comes to mind, at least to me.

edit: or at least the baner part.

Also, speaking of FC in Phantom, that was all him. The rest of the wolves had nothing to do with it.

I would know.

[Deathslayer7]

I might have some fun with this.

Have some fun FC.

I am a wolf

I am not a wolf.

*points at Lex-kat*

AKA, day 1 random.

[happyturtle]

((I'm not Simone, just roleplaying as her.))

It wasn't her home city, but it was still a city, and Simone knew how to navigate the underworld. The people may be afraid of the murderous spirits, but there were always whores and pimps, buyers and sellers, hustlers and marks. She knew how to find them, and who to talk to, and it didn't take her long to learn things--especially since she'd "borrowed" some money from her employers.

She found out that there were two concentrations of influence in Kyou - the Guild House and the House of Masks. The underworld didn't have much information on the former. It was well guarded, and the province of those with money and family connections. But the House of Masks was the place where performers, artists, and musicians entertained the public. More importantly, it was rumoured that those within the House of Masks were protected somehow.

I have to get accepted there, somehow. Just in case... It was always her way to have an escape plan. Aegnor and the others might not leave Kyou. They might get themselves killed. Or they might discover the real reason she joined their party and throw her out.

[Kyouhen]

Now I'm morally obligated to ask, just what constitutes a 'statement' for the lie-detecting? If I were to say something outrageous like myself, Night Surgeon and Mechafox are the neutrals, would he be forced to take that entire sentence as a statement? Or would he be able to break it down to check a single person mentioned instead? If any one of the people listed were not neutral, would the entire sentence return a false?

I can only take whole statments, not parts of a statement, alreay checked tht with Shadowcaller. I would not have come out like this if that wasn't the case since it'd be alot easier to hide statements.
I'm pretty sure if even part of the statement is wrong, I'd get told it's false. Otherwise, I could just name every person playing in a single statement and know whether they're good or bad by the end of night 1.

[Kyouhen]

Remind me to abuse that later.

I smell either an unnecessary risky attempt, a proxy OR a wolf.

For now, I'll err on the side of risky or proxy, but you're on my watch list.

[Fleeing Coward]

Claiming on day 1 when I'm not a mason would just be plain stupid. I am indeed who I say I am and I can assure you that none of the other 3 masons will come out saying otherwise.

I know this is risky but I'm working with what I have now that I've decided to claim the role.

We've got plenty of time before the end of night 1 so if any of the power roles want to wait a little bit to see if any "mason" is going to dispute my claim, feel free to do so.

However, I really would prefer it if the other power roles did contact me before the end of night 1 so that we do have a network set up even if for some reason the baner fails to bane me and the wolves attack me tonight.

Alarm senses tingling.

As for myself, if Aegnor wants to check it, no matter if Fleeing Coward is Aegnor or not, I provide the following statement.

I am on side villager.

Like I said before, I'll be checking the truth of my own statements since Shaowcaller told me that I can but I'll take into account what people's claim when I make those statements.

Also, turns out that I can check just part of a sentence as long as I don't take out or add words to it.

[Kuma Da]

Well, this is an interesting development. Anyone who roleclaims in an easily understandable way right now is declaring themselves to be with the villagers. If they're wolf, then making a clear claim about their identity is tantamount to giving themselves up. This means that any one who doesn't roleclaim right now falls under heavy suspicion of being a wolf.

Therefore, the only sensible thing for the wolves to do is to make complex claims that look like simple clams, since making a complex claim is also tantamount to giving themselves up.

That said, I am just a villager.

[Szilard]

V to the I to the double-L-A-gur, Szilard's a villager.
I think.
Why are we doing this?

Not necessarily. I think anyone can make statements about you, for Aegnor to check.

Kuma Da is a spirit.
Kuma Da is Simone.
Kuma Da is Arik.
Kuma Da is a villager.
Kuma Da is wearing purple socks.


See? Much fun.

[Kyouhen]

Wait, so you can cut out part of a sentence but cannot edit any words? Hmmm...

I am a villager, wolf or neutral.
Happyturtle is a female villager.
Kuma Da is a name-brand villager.
InaVegt, assuming Szilard is a villager, is neutral.

FUN TIMES FOR ALL!
