[Game Over] Open 673 - Tit for Tat

[projectmatt]

My laptop will be fixed as soon as tomorrow and then I'll be able to contribute. Sorry for the absence, folks.

Fish is needlessly aggressive and defensive.

[Formerfish]

In sorry that I came into a slot that is being scum read for shit reasons and the person who is the main proponent for that refuses to talk to me about the read. Then I get voted again for not providing enough content. I create content by directly engaging then and attempt to invalidate their theory. And in doing so I can determine if the attack was coming from a legit place or a fabricated one.

Day 2

Indubitably swayed by his emotive language, the crowd had left Transcend alone and now
turned their gaze towards his prime suspect, Intermission - a shift that was enhanced by a
sudden change in the background music to a suspenseful D minor. That was Intermission's
cue to start panicking.

Intermission:

Oh hey guys. Heh heh. Beautiful day isn't it?

Bellaphant:

Not for you.

Intermission:

It would seem so. Heh. So uhh, I haven't given much thought to what's been happening and...
well... maybe it would be best for me to, y'know. Cough. Take a break?

Charloux:

Feeling nervous, mon chéri?

Intermission:

Noooo, why would I feel nervous?

MiniDeathStar:

Probably because your face is peeling off?

Everyone flinched and fixed their eyes on the megaphone tower. They had totally forgotten
the mayor was still watching them. It took them a few moments to actually process her words.
Then, like remotely controlled satellite dishes, they slowly rotated their heads in perfect
synchronicity towards Intermission.

They flinched again. The soundtrack had just played a jump scare. Very appropriately so,
because MiniDeathStar was not kidding. Intermission's face was indeed peeling off. The skin
had cracked around his lips and his eyelids had become bloated and wrinkled like chemical
burns.

Sesq:

Maybe someone should like... scratch him or something?

Transcend:

Grroooooosss.

Bellaphant:

Sesq, that's bloody disgusting.

Sesq:

The dude's face is peeling off. It can't really get more disgusting than that.

Kop:

Yes it can. Check this out.

Kop revealed a long twig and reached to brush Intermission's cheek. It popped with a faint
squishing sound that made everybody flinch once again. Determined to bring this surreal
scene to a conclusion, Kop bravely stepped up and pulled at Intermission's face using his
sleeve as a makeshift glove.

Words couldn't decribe the sound that was produced. Bellaphant threw up and the rest
looked pretty close to joining her. The skin was squishy and discoloured, with the texture and
consistency of a stale period and readily tore up, like peeled off a decomposing cadaver.

Even that however paled in comparison to what Kop revealed underneath the skin. The
creature was decidedly not human. It looked more like something that might have been fish
once but had long ago lost the resemblance. A... former fish.

Transcend:

What the fuuuuuuuuuuuck!?

Intermission:

Uhhh... I can explain.

The_Jester:

Can you, Baldrick?

Intermission:

I have this weird skin condition...

Sesq:

That's putting it mildly.

Intermission:

...and I just forgot to apply a fresh skinsuit this morning.

Transcend:

Dude. What the fuck?

Intermission:

It's complicated.

Bellaphant:

Yeah... let's... let's just call him uhh Formerfish and be done with this. You with me guys?

Kop:

Whatever. Seen weirder.

Totally casually, like he was doing something as trivial as changing his car's oil, Kop wiped
Intermission's name from the board and wrote "Formerfish" in its place. This helped dissolve
the awkwardness a little bit and soon the debate continued as if nobody had just shed their
human skin. After all, Murdertowners were nothing if not used to sudden changes.

[Bellaphant]

I am mostly caught up, like 3-4 pages left to go.

Right now I am seeing scum in Sesq, EMC and Trans.

I like You, Matt and Kop as town. Failing a CC Char is town, which isn't where I was leaning, and I don't really agree with the timing of the claim, but thats besides the point.

Bella could be the one none of us see as scum go to mylo and win outright as scum.

These reads are all boring, apart from ecm - i've wavered a little on ecm, but his early game looks a lot more townish.

also, this ...mild scum read on me? like, is that even a read? i must look town, as no one sees me as scum, but also i'm scum who's getting to mylo?

it looks fake af.

also, is it l-1 or l-2 now?

projectmatt is correct about the aggression, but it could also be buddy talk :S

[The_Jester]

Fish is scum. Tries to copout from the argument with Trans, instead of trying to make a conversation like he suggests, he chooses to attack Trans' playstyle and discredit him on account of his tunnel on Inter. His reaction is way overblown and indicates he's aware he was fucked the moment he replaced in. And now instead of getting his shit together and doing any scumhunting besides giving few worthless reads he's AtEing his way through. He can die for all I care.

[Transcend]

Kill it lol

Twilight 2

Whether it was the alleged crimes he had committed behind his "skinsuit", or his fake identity,
or simply the discomfort of calling an anthropomorphic tuna their neighbour, the people of
Murdertown clearly made their discontent known via the vote board, which was now decidedly
stacked against Formerfish.

Transcend:

I don't think there's much else to say. You're both figuratively and literally scum. It's time to hit
the road.

The_Jester:

Where he is going, there are no roads.

Formerfish:

Are you going to listen to this asshole Transcend? He's all talk. He has no case against me. And
we all know who's trying to mob people down without a case. Believe me when I say he is the shepherd's dog!

Transcend:

Nice try, but nobody believes the scum.

Formerfish:

FINE. FUCK YOU ALL! YOLO!

In a classic frame-skipping slow motion, Formerfish revealed a gun from his pocket and pointed
it at Transcend.

Formerfish:

I told you you'd regret this move, Transy!

And before Transcend could react, Formerfish had put the barrel in his mouth and pulled the
trigger.

It took the remaining citizens the whole evening to scrape up the chunks of skull and brain
matter that Formerfish had splattered all over the pavement and their clothes. On the bright
side, his reckless suicide happened at a convenient time, as their hangman was already dead
and nobody else knew how to tie a proper noose.

As per unanimous unspoken agreement, they decided to save examining the slimy coprse for
later and search Formerfish's house for clues. It didn't take long before they discovered his
storeroom full of their photos pinned on a cork board and scribbled all over. They couldn't find
where he kept his spare "skinsuits" but none of them seemed particularly curious to know.
They already had enough evidence to know they had once again made the right decision,
and that was a thought they could sleep soundly on.

Night 2

"Why did he have to blow his brains out."

That was the thought that lingered on everybody's mind as they looked upon the still uncleaned
mess. It was a little past sundown and they had yet to throw their second party. Which meant
someone had to take one for the team. Since nobody volunteered to scrub brain jelly while the
rest drank themselves to oblivion, they resorted to drawing straws.

Transcend:

Oh hi Sesq. How are you sweetheart?

Sesq:

Bite me?

Kop:

Sorry lass. You drew the short straw. Fair and square. See you tomorrow mornin'!

Sesq:

Ugh, seriously? You guys suck!

She was right. They did suck. They sucked their cocktails with their straws while she was all
alone, in the dark, furiously wiping the oozy remains.

Or maybe not completely alone, as a costumed clown just came out of the white van that she
totally hadn't noticed parked behind her.

Clown:

Hey there little girl.

Sesq:

Whoa! Jesus. You scared the shit out of me.

Clown:

Aw, come on. You shoulda seen your face.

Sesq:

Ha. Ha. Very funny. Bored at the party huh?

Clown:

Nope. Party's over.

Sesq:

Already?! Fuuuuck. Well done guys, you totally partied it up while I was cleaning fish guts here.

Clown:

That's why I'm here. You and I should have some fun together. Want some candy?

Sesq looked at the stranger and hesitated.

Sesq:

You're a stranger.

Clown:

Yes.

Sesq:

In a white van.

Clown:

Mhm.

Sesq:

Offering me candy.

Clown:

Yep.

Sesq:

At 3 o'clock in the morning?

Clown:

That's right.

Sesq:

Hmmm... all right then!

The clown motioned her to follow and opened the back doors on its van. It was pitch black
inside but Sesq's eye caught something that definitely did not look like candy.

Sesq:

Wait! I saw something that definitely did not look like candy.

Clown:

Oh, you mean this?

The stranger was holding a shotgun. One that filled Sesq's head with lead before she could
manage to scream. A second later the pavement she had so diligently been wiping clean all
night now had another pound of brain mush scattered all over it. Hers.

"Why did they have to blow her brains out."

They would never admit it, but that was the thought that lingered on everybody's mind as
they looked upon the newly created mess and groaned. It was going to be a long morning.

Spoiler:

Sesq

the vanilla townie (Night 2) has been killed.

Day 3

Grief and hangover pained Murdertowners as they took a good look at the crime scene and
tried to figure out exactly how long they could procrastinate cleaning it all up before the
smell became unbearable. Eventually they decided they had bigger problems to solve - like
exposing the final mafia before another head were to explode.

With two names less on the vote board, the trials now continued.

Not voting:

The_Jester, Charloux, projectmatt, ECMitchell, Transcend, Kop,
