The residents of Christmas Town felt their numbers dwindling, but they were hopeful. So much seemed to have been going their way in the last few days. Four of the murderers discovered and banished, Mrs. Claus back among them, Santa returned to his former jolly nature after making a good decision for once. In fact, four nights had gone by without a murder of an innocent. Some among them felt this had gotten too easy. Supposedly the Burgermeister had been banished, but was he really gone? Or was he still bringing their friends over to his side even now? Were there others among them that they needed to be concerned about, not murderers, but not innocents either? All of these questions left some of the villagers feeling very uneasy, but one thing was certain. One of the murderers had revealed himself earlier in the day, and it was time to take him out.
Santa, who we know as
ZVH, retrieved the Naughty List and prepared to write
MJ's name. As he was doing so,
Lupin made her way to MJ's house, ready to banish him as soon as she got the signal from Santa that his name was on the list. She knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Instead the door swung open on its own; it had been left ajar. Inside, she found a note on the floor in the middle of the living room.
"We came very close, you know. We were one day from taking over this town. I don't know how it all went so wrong. But you can rest easy now, in your disgusting Christmas cheer. I was the last thing standing between you and victory."
Looking up from the note, she searched the room for him, but all that was left was a puddle on the floor in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace.
Dead is MJ, Snow Miser, a wolf who could start a snowstorm to cancel all night actions one time during the game.
The villagers were apprehensive for a while. Could they really trust that all of these horrible things were behind them? But there was nothing left to fear, and they were free to begin making their Christmas preparations again.
Villagers win!

It's been pretty well established that I've got a horrible memory and I'm terrible at keeping things straight in WW, and I'm never a wolf, so it's basically always me being a villager and getting confused as to what happened in what PM on what day. dyachei and other people that nitpick frequently erroneously throw me on the chopping block because my story isn't consistent, and 9/10 I'm a villager, I just suck at keeping my story straight because I'm the sort of person that can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning, let alone keep my info straight from 5 PMs and a thread that I only check in on once a day. Ah well, I suck at WW anyway, gnight people.
