Night 4: A Zombie, A Witch, and A Gravedigger Walk Into a Bar...

1763435531880.jpeg


The night settled early over Hollow’s End, heavier than usual. Lanternlight shone weakly against the fog. Somewhere far off, a dog barked once and went quiet again.

A faint chemical scent drifted through the streets. It came and went in thin waves, a synthetic citrus bite under the cold. The cobblestones glistened with a fine dew that hadn’t been there an hour earlier. Anyone awake might have noticed it. Most people slept through it, not knowing what they were breathing in, and why it sharpened their dreams.

Out past the last row of houses, the Zombie moved through the dark with slow, deliberate steps. She paused now and then, pressing a hand to her ribs as if an ache had settled there. Her breath came unevenly. Something inside her flickered like a failing spark. She shook it off and kept walking, eyes fixed on a door lantern burning in the distance.

She never reached it.

The bushes beside the path rustled once. A shadow lunged from the treeline and collided with her full force. There was a brief struggle in the dirt, a choked gasp, knives flashing in and out of sight. When the fog drifted back in, her ruined body lay still on the cold ground, her eyes open toward a sky she would never see again. The strange ache faded from her limbs as her breathing stopped.

Dead is PSV, who was The Zombie, a chaos player who could infect one player each night, with the infection fully taking hold the next night as long as she was still alive. Her goal was to live to the end of the game with all other living players being infected.

The fog carried the chemical scent again, stronger now. It drifted through alleys and across rooftops, pooling in corners before thinning into the air. A feverish hum slipped through one house in particular, stirring its occupant awake. They sat up sharply, skin sheened with sweat, breath caught in their throat. For a moment they felt something break loose inside them, something that had been gathering for days. The feeling passed. The room stilled. They lay back down with a slow exhale.

Near the center of town, a single candle glowed in an attic window. The Witch leaned over a table cluttered with herbs and small glass bottles. The smell of burnt sage hung thick around her. She worked in silence, her motions practiced and precise. A small wrapped sweet sat near her elbow, set aside absentmindedly after she had accepted it earlier in the day.

She reached for it without looking. Unwrapped it with one hand. Slipped it between her teeth as she tied a length of red thread.

The first cough was soft. The second bent her forward. The third sent her reaching for the table, knocking over a jar that shattered against the floor. The candle flickered hard, stretching her shadow across the walls. Her breath failed her in quick, panicked bursts as her throat tightened. She clawed at the edge of the table, eyes watering, the room spinning in and out of focus. Then her grip slipped.

When the candle steadied again, she lay collapsed on the floorboards, one hand still curled toward the work she would never finish.

Dead is SAR, who was The Witch, a wolf who could hex players so they would automatically receive a trick while Trick or Treating. Once during the game the Hex could also be deadly. Once during the game she could give out a Luck Potion, so a player would receive a treat.

South of the square, the Gravedigger walked briskly through the cemetary. He’d had so many visitors earlier in the night that his plans had been delayed. The lantern swinging at his hip cast thin arcs of light across the stones, until he finally found it. He paused at this familiar grave, fingers brushing moss from the carved name. He sank to the ground, digging his fingers into the earth, eyes closed in concentration. A spark of power leapt from beneath the earth, traveled up his fingertips, his arms, his neck, settling just behind his eyes. What he saw then, no one living would ever know.

His breath caught in his chest, sharp and sudden. His legs buckled beneath him. The lantern dropped, the flame guttering out against the dirt. He collapsed beside the grave, eyes wide, the silence of the cemetery deepening around him.

Dead is Zenge, who was the Gravedigger, a villager who could copy the ability of a dead player each night.

Not far away, a figure pulled themselves up from the forest floor, dazed and shaking. A bruise darkened her ribs. Her palms were scraped raw. She looked around, trying to remember how she had gotten there.

Oh, that was me, I was more pointing to D1 in general (interactions, etc). I wanted to give you a pep talk if I died over you. And instead we're both here so... yay?
 
Took a gamble on one of the candies being a vig shot.
As for the other death, I believe someone attacked me and triggered my actual ability
okay so:
apop -> kills SAR with candy vig shot
PSV -> acts on apop, PSV self des

​
well, this isn't clem or T4C (pronouns are he/him)

Psv may have been the wolf kill by the sounds of it. zenge mayhave copied a killing ability and tried to get me?

Or, a secret third option, someone attacked me who had a kill defense themselves that canceled out my autokill
well, this isn't clem or T4C (pronouns are he/him)
I think that description may be me having survived an attack

the only person who was vocal recently to switch up on me being a fully stacked town read, was clem. but idk if clem would do that to himself to make himself a target like that..
 
i dont think this is YELO though (is that the right spelling?), i dont think we're anywhere near being done

there's 6 people left, one is a wolf, one could still be an infected 3p since we dont know who PSV has infected and nobody has said anything.

options:
4/1/1 village, wolf, infected
5/1 village, wolf
3/1/2 village, wolf, infected
 
moon before you go, can you confirm if you got any weird messages that may even allude to an infection?
apop, if you could as well?

i got no actions on my last night and my previous messages were all positive and i was protected + "blessed"

No, and i also got the protected message (which is different from blessed i guess?) N2. I got the blessed message n3 from zenge

apop, if you could as well?

No infection, was blessed last night
 
i highly doubt PSV didn't infect a single person while she was alive- which makes me think either that final message was about apop, or honestly, someone else who was infected by PSV but didnt know? AND OH MY GOD IM HAVING AN EPIPHENY LIKE I HAD WITH MY WEREWOLF COMMENT. WHAT IF THEY ARE FREE NOW?!!?!?!

If the blesser is different from the healer/exorcist (soup) then they are still alive.
Cg already claimed they have night cancel as their ability, so that leaves either t4c or clem
 
okay new headcannon:

apop kills SAR via candy vig shot
PSV tries to infect apop but dies in the process
PSV previously infected who i can only assume to be CG based on pronouns, but now CG is free?
moon had no actions on her
vampy had no actions on her

which still leaves clem and T4C
