"...And then they lynched him! Just like that! Took out his compass, stomped on it, spit on his corpse, it was a whole scene." Lamps relayed the day's events to his captive audience.

Seated across from him at his firepit were an array of crudely constructed, vaguely humanoid shapes made of leaves and rocks.

"What would you have done, Edward?" Lamps asked the handsomest of all the rock statues. Edward's rock face stared blankly back at him.

"Sigh...yeah...you're so right..." Lamps trailed off just before he heard a most curious sound. Something like a twig being stepped on?

"Who goes there??" Lamps called out, but received no answer. "You guys heard that too right?"

His statues once again said nothing, but if you squinted hard enough their blank expressions almost looked...worried? At least, that's what Lamps saw in the moment.

"...b-behind me?" Lamps asked Edward, who had no mouth and could not scream as he witnessed his creator's throat get unceremoniously slit. The killer tossed his corpse into the firepit as they left the commune.

Lamps, TOWN (Char Commune), has been killed.
Once per night, you may attempt to recruit someone. If they are TOWN, they will join your commune and you will be able to talk freely with them. If they are NON-TOWN, you will die. You may have up to three members in your commune at any one time.

Meanwhile, Nav casually strutted down the street, whistling as he went. His stride was cut short, however, by a bullet through the head.

"Ow" he lamented as his vision began to fade.

But a few moments later, miraculously, he felt right as rain! He dusted himself off and sprang back to his feet as he continued his strutting and whistling as if nothing happened.

Nav has survived an attack.

"A clue! Another clue!" Rose exclaimed excitedly as she examined the events of the night. "Oh, I can't wait to discuss with the town and bring these killers to justice!"

Unfortunately for her, the night's festivities had not quite ended. Another killer waddled up and uncreatively pulled a gun on her.

Met with her imminent demise, Rose just couldn't take the stress as she began to clutch at her heart.

"My...my pills...I need..."

"Can I get you a glass of water or something? Are you having some kind of medical emergency?" the killer asked as they partially lowered their gun.

"Nah, I'm...as good as it gets..." she sputtered weakly.

"I’m afraid we’re wasting our time, and I’m an extremely busy man, as I’m sure you are too." the killer shrugged as they casually pumped a few rounds into her chest.

"Will I be a... ghost now?" her scrambled inner thoughts pondered.

"You already *were* a ghost. Up there, screaming — along with all of them. Scaring each other. Haunting each other. It's the living who are ghosts. The dead are silent. They don't rattle windows or write letters in blood. The living do. Leave them behind. Rest."

An odd sense of peace flashed across Rose's face as she took this final thought with her to her premature grave.

Rose, TOWN (the Coupris Kineema from Disco Elysium), has been killed.
She may not look like much, but she's got plenty of tricks up her sleeve!

-- Shortwave radio (3x): send an anonymous message to the mafia's forum OR in the day thread
-- Headlights (2x): reveal leading votegetter's item + ability to self
-- Chaincutters (1x): cut down body and perform an autopsy. See who they were visiting the night they died OR the item of the person who killed them

There is no limit to how many of these you perform on a certain day/night.

It is now Day 2. With 16 alive, it'll take 9 to reach majority. The day will end at 7pm CST tomorrow or when a majority has been reached.

The town had taken some heavy losses and were left looking for answers.

"If memory serves, it is policy to lynch Nav today for surviving a kill" Timmah rubbed his chin thoughtfully. A few nodded in agreement.

A few others were startled by Reaper's sudden roll of the dice and dutifully began to beat the shit out of him.

But yet, there seemed to be one better target.

"Rodney...was um...almost lynched yesterday, I think we ought to finish the job!"

Farlig and im317 apprehended Rodney, who was minding his own business and chowing down on a delicious Cheesy Gordita Crunch®.

"asdfm what the haljell" Rodney coughed out mid-bite. But then suddenly a moment of clarity came over him as he saw Kat approach, holding a delicious looking Big Mac.

"I've waited a long time for this." she said as she began to brutally stomp down on his face. Teeth and bits of highly processed meat and cheese flew in every which direction as Rodney writhed in pain.

"I'm lovin' it! I'M LOVIN' IT!" Kat cackled maniacally as the brutality continued for what seemed like an eternity.

But then...suddenly...off in the distance, one could almost hear the gonging of a...bell?

Distracted, Kat gazed around at the source of such a hideous sound. But in that moment, Rodney miraculously rose to his feet. Blood and ground beef continued to stream from his mouth, but it didn't seem to faze him. He seemed stronger than ever.

Before Kat could even react, Rodney slapped the Big Mac out of her hand and replaced it with the last of his Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Horrified, she could do nothing but watch as he pushed her hand, and the gordita, towards her mouth and began to shove the contents down her throat.

"Die mas..." Rodney smirked as he watched his mortal enemy slowly choke herself to death.





































































































































Kat, SELF-ALIGNED (Big Mac), has been lynched.

Your objective is to lynch Rodney. If he is lynched and you are on the train, you will immediately achieve your side win and exit the game.

If he dies any other way, your objective will then become surviving til the end.

"Well, I think my work here is done!" Rodney dusted himself off and headed to the nearest Taco Bell to replace the gordita he had just wasted.

Dumbfounded, the town watched him walk off, never to be seen in these parts again.

Rodney, SELF-ALIGNED (Cheesy Gordita Crunch®), has achieved his side win!

Your objective is to lynch Kat. If she is lynched and you are on the train, you will immediately achieve your side win and exit the game.

If she dies any other way, your objective will then become surviving til the end.

It is now Night 2. The night will end tomorrow at 6pm CST.
