The dark and stormy night raged on and on, but eventually the fury faded into a cold and foggy morning.
The morning brought confusion, curiosity and accusations... but little true information. So while the animals growled when anyone approached, the sideshow actors frowned at every mention, and everyone else simply kept their opinions close, the night's performance approached without any true resolution.
Everybody took their spots, and the performance went...
okay without a ringmaster to lead the show. But as the half-filled tent filed out, kids sticky with cotton candy and elephants swaying in their chains, there was a commotion down near the stage. Several performers were rounding on one hapless victim, and unfortunately they looked rather murderous. Batons were hefted, clubs lifted, teeth bared... you get the gist.
And then there was a sudden croak from the corner, and the angry crowd turned, confused. A performer from the sideshow suddenly stepped into the still-on spotlight, his ancient bones creaking and popping with every motion. A head full of snow white hair flowed down his back, and he was dressed in a stereotypical blue and white striped moomoo, the very image of decrepit fragility.
@LetItSnow was definitely confused, as he often was. He had been with the circus for, well... ever. And he was distraught to see the tensions that had recently come up between all of his old friends. So when the performers tried to round on someone he considered good (but who knows? He is very confused...), he stepped in and protested. Loudly he screeched something about peace and quiet, stamped his bare feet in frustration, and huffed that everyone should listen to him and respect their elders.
The crowd was utterly confused, and looked back and forth at one another. You could tell they were almost beginning to reconsider when
@LetItSnow suddenly stopped in his steps, grabbed at his chest, took a gasp, and fell over... dead.
Dead is @LetItSnow, The Oldest Man Alive, a villager whose frail health meant that he would die during the first lynch, sparing any of the true noobs. He is a big softie at heart. ❤
It is now Night 1, and there are 22 performers remaining. Deadline will be 9AM EST tomorrow morning (12/18) (So send in those night actions, those who have them!).
