Public Vote Tally (~24 hours left)
Legato Endless - 3 (EmeraldRose, Aventine, DarkLightDragon)
DarkLightDragon - 3 (Rain Dragon, Legato Endless, The Fiery Tower)
Duck999 - 1 (aric_kale)
firedaemon33 - 1 (Ramsus)
Ramsus - 1 (firedaemon33)
EmeraldRose - 1 (Duck999)

Aventine - 1 (Penguinator)
banjo1985 - 1 (Nonayer)
No Vote - 4 (Tanar Aerdoth, BasketOfPuppies, Lex-Kat, Yumori123)
5 votes minimum to lynch...
If no one has at least 5 votes at the end of day, the Executioner decides who gets lynched by posting the target in his/her QT. Generally speaking, the Executioner should pick a target every day regardless of what the votes look like, in case the public vote tally does not match the private vote tally...

Re: Careless Investigation WW
~9 hours left in the day. I trust you can see what's updated since my last vote tally. We are currently at 4 votes Legato and 4 votes DLD, so neither has enough votes to be lynched, meaning an Executioner decision. There are still 3 people who haven't voted. There are still 2 people who haven't looked at their QT. If you for some reason didn't receive your QT, PM me, and I can send you the link again.

If it comes down to the Executioner I would request of them to target people who haven't voted.

Re: Careless Investigation WW
Now that my internet is working again...
Day is over.
Narration to come shortly. According to the public vote tally, no one reached the minimum 5 votes, so it is Executioner decision. BasketOfPuppies, Lex-Kat, and Yumori123 did not vote today.

Re: Careless Investigation WW
Not joining and not a part of the game but as an observer I'd just like to note:
The Emerald Leaf has been mentioned a few times as a coffee shop. It is not, it is next to a coffee shop and (If I remember correctly) is a bookshop/odds and ends shop. The coffee is on the counter and free access to any who enter."Trust bladescape, Shadow of Doubt,"

Re: Careless Investigation WW
Yep.
EDIT: ((Also...whoops! Missed this one, sorry!))
The Lady nods solemnly and carefully picks up the charm. She looks it over and smiles warmly at the gangly man.
Indeed, Small One. This will certainly be exactly what someone will be looking for, someday.
She gently places it on a nearby shelf, and adjusts how it sits, before returning to her chair.Last edited by EmeraldRose; 2014-05-08 at 01:32 PM.

Re: Careless Investigation WW
Day 1
I circled the streets looking for anything suspicious, but the people milling seemed ordinary folk, content with life and not caring about gang wars brewing below the surface. Time and again, I would pass the same places, and yet nothing seemed strange. Except... There was a bookstore, it seemed, that was a bit out of place. I couldn't put my finger on it and still can't, but I kept getting this curious vibe from it. Rightfully so, I walked in to investigate this 'Emerald Leaf.'
I was not the only who had found the shop intriguing, and all manner of sorts had come in to see what they would find. It just seemed... right, that they were there, though I can't explain how, and I know this will sound crazy to any who reads it, but it was as if the shop itself were drawing specific people in. Curious, I stayed for a while, picking a book at random and glancing over it, when I heard a sudden ruckus. Earlier, a few names had been whispered, but now the customers were growing to a consensus. What these names were, I had yet to realize, but two people (I assume they were the discussed persons) had started to point at each other, and the others took their sides.
Of course, I put down my book and began to listen in. There was talk of taking responsibility for what had happened. What had happened? Frowning, I walked over to intervene, when I heard talk of killing. There was no way I'd let these men kill each other in front of me...
"Hey! Stop, there! Let's talk this out, why don't we? No need to be so quick to the kill, right? Tell me, what happened, and maybe I can help?"
"This man... Well, you've heard the rumors, I assume. There's no way he knows nothing, and yet he pretends it's so!"
"Now, now, hold on just one minute! You all come out of the blue accusing me, telling me I need to die, but you don't say what I did! Well? What did I do?"
"That information isn't for everyone. I can't just say everything out in public where anyone can hear! What, do you think I'm so daft I'd fall for your schemes?"
"My schemes? What about you? You're too afraid to be wrong that you just shut out what anyone tells you! Maybe you should die! You can't say you've done nothing wrong in your life!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Calm down, now. You, this man did something wrong, or so you say. Now, can you tell me at least what it was? I'm a detective, I can figure things out. You can trust me."
"..."
"Alright. And you, this man might be in the wrong for accusing you, but there's no need to resort to killing. Tell me your problems, and I'll help you sort it out. That goes to everyone here: if you need help, come find me."
"...hmph."
Well, the two of them stormed off in a huff, but at least they had decided not to kill each other. The town was indeed fragile, but I had no clue it was so fragile as this. It seems tensions are high, and conflict will break out soon, whether I like it or not. I doubt I'll succeed at intervening again. I've marked this town as a place for investigation, but it's time to move on to other parts of the town. Evil never sleeps, and so, it seems mustn't I.

Re: Careless Investigation WW
Night 1
Stores close, and much of the town quiets down as the townsfolk go to sleep. However, there are still some people up and working through the late hours of night. In alleys and disused buildings, people meet, in camaraderie and combat.
-------------------------
"Have you been here long? Heck, what am I saying, of course you have! Marty, wasn't it? Now, why don't you tell me what you've been up to!"
"..."
"Aw, don't be like that, man! I just wanna help you out! With what you're doing! C'mon, man, just tell me!"
"...leave me alone, if that's all you've come for. I've got things of my own to be doing."
"Ah, well, if you're gonna be like that, well, I can tell you-"
"Nice night, isn't it? Oh, hello there! I haven't seen you around here much! You checking out new parts of town?"
"Great timing, Matt! My... friend here was just leaving..."
"..."
"Oh, is that so? Well, just tell me, where'm I at this time?"
"Just up the stairs, you are."
-------------------------
"You! What the hell are you doing here? Didn't the man downstairs stop you?"
"...stop me? Oh, is that what they were trying to do? Well, if you wanted someone to stop people... ah, those were not the right people."
"Well! You obviously have no respect for other people's privacy. Now, get out of here, right now!"
"Ah, but you've made me so... curious, yes, that's it. These papers, what are they-"
"Out! Now! Before, so help me, I'll take these matters into my own hands!"
"Oh! Maybe these will help! You see, I'm looking for-"
*BANG*
"Oh... well, that's not how I expected this to go at all... Ah... you wouldn't happen to be..."
*BANG*
"You weren't supposed to come up here. It's not my fault. It's never my fault..."
-------------------------
"This one's the one you'll be wanting, yes, yes indeed, yes. Now, if you've ever got in a hard place, just a swig of this, and you'll be all fired up, right you are! My own special brand, it is! If it's the brand I'm thinking of, you know, you know, yes, yes. Ah, don't look at me like that! I don't need labels, everything's in order, yes it is. As it is, no one can steal my mixes, isn't that right? Now, if you'll excuse me, off you are, I'm a busy, busy man, yes, yes I am."
-------------------------
"Hey! You! Yeah, you over there! You've been following me! And don't you dare deny it! What's the big deal? Do you want me to call the Police or something?"
"No, no, not that. I've just been curious. You see, there aren't too many people who will walk around in mid-April with a scarf and long sleeves. Can you blame me for wanting to find out?"
"Yes! Yes I can! Hey, aren't you... yeah, you're one of those people, hanging out with the- Hey!"
"Oh, what is it now? And, seriously, what do you have to hide that you'll put up with this heat?"
"You and your questions! Every single one of you with your little questions, why do you have to be like this! It makes me sick! I'm sick and tired of you all!"
"How'd you fit a gun- no matter. Perhaps this will change your mind? I've got this area rigged with bombs, so any false move and you'll be coming down with me."
"I know it's fake! You stay put!"
"Now, hold on, we can be reasonable. I've only got a few questions to ask-"
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
"Guh- I won't- go down- so... easily..." *CLICK*
*BOOM*
"Sh- wrong... deto-" *cough* *cough*
"Ehehe... serves you right! I warned you... I warned you..."
*BANG*
-------------------------
"Excuse me, sir, do you have a minute?"
"What is it you need?'
"Well, I come on behalf of... mutual acquaintances of ours. You see, they have an... offer."
"Ah."
"And this offer... I daresay you won't be refusing it..."
"...so they all say. John! Come here! You'll be manning the shop while I'm away. Don't let in anyone you don't know. I've heard gunshots already tonight..."
"Now, if you'll just come this way, I'm sure we've got much to discuss..."
-------------------------
April 14th
The police have told me that today was the first day that any killings have been so showy and extensive, and if that's the case, I can't speak for my luck in arrival. Three were found dead last night, and it's a wonder no more were harmed. The first two were found after reports of gunshots in the area. One had apparently been shot near an office building, and the body was dumped in the trash crowding the alleyway. Or, so the report said. I looked at the body, and it looked bruised, as if the man had gotten into a fight, or maybe he had fallen out of a window. It didn't seem so cut-and-dry as the case was made.
The second body came at the same time as a building a few blocks down exploded, and the only reason anyone found the dead body was because there had been many gunshots, as if the shooter had some vendetta. Otherwise, the collapsing building, fire, smoke, and well... the explosion would have drawn everyone's attention. It seems it was meant to be a distraction, though, as only one unlucky man was still working at the exploded factory that late at night. He was reportedly working on a secret project in the basement, but I have yet to determine just what the project was.
Whatever the case, the tension in this town has skyrocketed, and these killers need to be stopped fast in their tracks before they kill even more innocents. What's the root of this conflict? What have the Police been doing? Is there anyone who actually knows what's going on in this town? More to come as I finish today's investigations.
SpoilerRamsus was shot. His role is not revealed...
BasketOfPuppies was shot. His role is not revealed...
Penguinator was buried by debris of an exploding building. His role is not revealed...
Ramsus, BasketOfPuppies, and Penguinator can return as Clueless Newcomers on Day 4.

Re: Careless Investigation WW
Ashton sits in the Emerald Leaf, drinking some coffee from the shop next door () and reading the paper. Damn, three in one night. He has bags under his eyes, evidence of a very late night. Yeah, he had heard the gunshots, but he still wasn't expecting...this. I hope the
darkness hiding these gunmen gets somelightshone on it. Or else these murders coulddrag on.Last edited by Aric Kale; 2014-05-12 at 03:25 AM.

Another patron is sitting nearby and decides to comment.
It's terrible, isn't it? Brother told me there were some bad eggs in this town, but I didn't think...!
She shivers.
It sure is cold, like the arctic. Rrrrr. Say, is there a store around here that sells kale? I hear that stuff's great.

Re: Careless Investigation WW
Obviously aric_kale's name is a plot to avoid lynching since it's so easy to forget the underscore. Not sure where the frost pun came from. If we all misspell the name, does the executioner get to choose?

Re: Careless Investigation WW
I would prefer that no one reveal their dead roles, especially those who died at night, as nothing about their role is revealed from that. I will not enforce that, but I will ask nicely at least. Any information you learned through your previous role is fair game, but at least wait until you're back in the game as a Clueless Newcomer.
If you misspell someone's name, but it's obvious that you are voting for a specific player, I will assume that you are indeed voting for that player and will count it as such. If you vote for a name which is not a player currently in the game, it is essentially a vote for a No Lynch, except the votes don't stack with votes for No Lynch. Yes, you can vote for No Lynch in this game. If no single player has the most votes, with at least 1/4 of the living players' votes, the Executioner decides who to kill. This also means that if the most votes are for No Lynch, it is Executioner decision. And on that note...
Public Vote Tally (~22 hours left)
DarkLightDragon - 2 (aric_kale, firedaemon33)
aric_kale - 2 (DarkLightDragon, Yumori123)
Aventine - 2 (Lex-Kat, Legato Endless)
Lex-Kat - 1 (Aventine)
No Vote - 7 (Duck999, EmeraldRose, banjo1985, Nonayer, Tanar Aerdoth, The Fiery Tower, Rain Dragon)
4 votes minimum to lynch someone, or else Executioner decides who to lynch.
