Night 2 | The Hanging
Once again, night settled upon TAV like a soft cloak. It was nearing the time of the town's first lynch in centuries, and the building excitement in the town was palpable.
When it was within minutes of the results, something descended on the citizens, something... indescribable. "I can see everything," whispered @sands . But soon enough, it was gone, leaving many hungering after its gentle touch.
The votes were in. Two candidates had been the primary choices for @Mayor (<= 15) but it seemed that they had tied in popularity! Conversely, there had been one frontrunner for the lynch.
"Time to die," muttered @Wyatt to his rival @Arvecti as he placed a powerful shove in the small of his back, sending the man swinging off the hanging platform.
In just minutes his face had gone bloated and blue.
Amongst the crowd of citizens, a scuffle grew. Everyone turned to face the source of the disturbance, a sobbing @dAddy .
"How could you!" she cried, her eyes fixed on @Arvecti 's body, and plunged a dagger into her gut.
The crowd was speechless. Had the evil been eliminated? Only the night could tell...
Ends 10:00am UTC.
