This is "unsettled" in an affectionate way lol. But like the muted panic underlying it all
I would mention the yearning for death but I believe you do that as both alignments

PSV’s reason is my genny vote. I wanna know yours. Sometimes I can get a vibe based on how and why people read me

I can tell you that from a no meta standpoint, you’ve done nothing to really earn a townread. Probably why both new players have had sus on you this game.

I mean this game doesn’t exist out of a meta vacuum though, breaking the tie onto genny is enough to village read me in this case. That’s why I want to know what the 2 folks who know me think.

Your timing specifically on genny is compelling. Otherwise I felt like the way you entered the thread back on day 1 was a solid village tone that hasn't wavered, even when pushed or challenged. You've been active but solvey without feeling like you're pushing an agenda. I also remember nothing that your interactions with mayo did not feel like w/w. Unless you've deliberately changed your wolf game, I don't find this game particularly compatible from a wolf!Samac POV and probably would really struggle to be able to trust you in a village Bloq going forward if you're scumming here

If you get town credit for that vote, madrigal should’ve never been a suspect.

No, different scenario. I put her to death with like 2 minutes to go, another wolf wasn’t an option at that point either.
Mad voted when multiple wolves tied on the board. They’re different scenarios.
But I think it’s moot now anyway.
And it’s probably PSV.
But maybe it’s SAR?

When she hadn't read her role PM?

I went over this on day 1. The way she approached that whole conversation and "reveal" that she didn't read her role PM was a very village entry for me

PSV, if I'm a wolf there's no way I place a vote on the board like that and open up this exact scenario.
 
Some advice because I’m assuming it’ll be mad:

If we go into F3 get SAR to share some wolf games. Like I’ve said I don’t know her wolf meta. See if she is playing in line with that or not.
PSV is a tricksy wolf and very good at wiggling out of yeets. Consider carefully n

Also if KJQ and mad are both village and on sleep village cant pull it off. Thats why i was asking. I’d be willing to throw a vote onto a wagon if she was.

But she is taking so long I dont see another option. 2 villagers on Sleep does not a majority make.

Madagascar 2 comes to mind because PSV pulled it out of a list of games we played together.

I'll put that out there now before thread locks. I'd have to look up others. Hoping I'll be dead and not have to worry about f3 but doubt it based on PSV now voting for me 😂

I strongly disagree with all of this, I think the way she's come in guns blazing pretty much every single day has been to not create suspicion on her. Again, I have no meta to go off of, but at this point she is still very much the top of my POE. I will be voting her if both her and I make it to final 3.

Technically mad isn't voting at all currently
 
Well. I'll be remediating Friday morning then driving all day Friday and going to a concert Friday evening. I will not be here and there's zero chance I'm getting killed tonight.

NIGHT SIX

1746838223809.jpeg


The world had grown narrow.

Where once the promise of open sky stretched wide over Kanto, now the group clung to ravines, caves, cracks in the stone. Their progress through the mountain was stilted, interrupted by futile attempts to hide. Pidgeot still flew ahead, hoping that by scouting out the path, he could provide some protection.

1746838093875.png


His feathers were ragged, his chest still wrapped from a previous battle, but his wings held. And so he scouted. Not because they asked—because if he didn’t, no one would. On this day, the others had tucked themselves beneath an outcropping at the foot of Mt. Moon, deciding to take some time to rest before venturing along Route 4. Pidgeot took to the skies just after dusk. He circled once, then rose higher, scanning the cliff paths and ridgelines. He never went far—just far enough. Just high enough. The air was thin, the wind sharp. But it was quiet.

Maybe too quiet.

Then he saw it—movement, half-glimpsed, near a twisted copse of dead trees. He dipped low to investigate. Nothing. Then a flash—silver glinting in the dirt. Metal? He landed cautiously.
A Moon Stone. Strange, to find it here. But he didn’t realize. This wasn’t a clue.

It was bait.

The net triggered the moment he lifted off. It struck from below, fired with unnatural speed. A hiss of compressed air, then steel cable. It caught one wing, dragged him down like an anchor. He crashed to earth in a snarl of thorns and wire. Pain lanced through his wing joints. He thrashed, beak snapping open in a scream. The forest answered only with silence. Then the Hunter stepped from the trees.
No words. No sound but the creak of leather and metal. He knelt beside the struggling bird and drew a blade—not for capture, but for certainty.

Pidgeot fought to rise, one foot striking out, claws catching nothing but air. And then—he stopped. Because she was there. A friend settled beside the Hunter, eyes serene. She had followed him. Or maybe she’d led him. Pidgeot made a small noise, like a question. Like recognition.

She blinked. No sadness. No satisfaction.

Just silence.

The blade fell.

~~~~~~

The approach to Cerulean City grew colder with each passing hour. The grasses thinned into brittle stalks, and the rocky paths were gouged with unnatural scars. The Hunter had passed through here recently. The land felt it.

The group moved cautiously, wounded in number and spirit, no one knowing where Pidgeot had disappeared to. Suspicion hung in the air like fog once had in Viridian Forest, heavy and choking. Every sound was too loud. Every silence felt like a dare. They came to a fork in the canyon where the wind funneled sharply between two ridges. The terrain offered little shelter—only raw stone, uneven and exposed. They needed a place to hide through the night.

Venusaur volunteered to scout ahead. She believed in the land, even now. Her vines could carve a hollow. Her roots could test the ground. She could make safety, even if they no longer deserved it. She left without ceremony, climbing a ridge alone. She found a hollow just over the rise—half-collapsed, ringed in loose stone and half-dead brush. Her vines reached into the soil, gently probing for moisture, for strength. It seemed good. Stable. So she dug.

1746838267137.png


Vines wove through the scrub, wrapping stone, reinforcing the edge of the hollow like braided netting. It was something living. Something protective.
That’s when the earth sparked.
It wasn’t the soil she had touched—but thin metal strands hidden in the rock, rigged to something buried deeper. A trap, primitive but precise. The moment her vines completed the circuit, the stone beneath her cracked—and lit.

Electric current surged through the earth, lacing through the vines that had moments ago stretched out in peace. The pain was immediate, paralyzing. Her body convulsed as arcs of light burst from the stones. Her bulb flared open, not with life, but with heat. She tried to cry out, but the wind stole her voice. Her vines, meant to defend and heal, had anchored her in place.

When the others arrived, drawn by the scent of ozone and burning chlorophyll, it was already too late. The hollow was blackened at the center. The vines that remained twitched in slow, involuntary spasms. At the heart of the scorched crater, Venusaur lay half-buried, one foreleg stretched forward, frozen in that final attempt to flee. Her bulb had split along its seam, petals wilted and curling inward—never to bloom.

No one spoke.

They cut her body free from the soil, gently, the way she would have wanted. Her vines resisted them, rooted too deeply in pain. Nidorino carried what was left of her back to camp. That night, they didn’t make shelter. They didn’t use her hollow.

They slept in the open, under cold stars, wrapped in silence.

~~~~~~

They found the feathers the next morning.

Not in a pile, but scattered—placed like markers in the trees above the camp. One in a broken nest. One nailed to bark with a thorn. One still faintly warm, resting beside a Moon Stone.

I think she brought you, mads because Samac was pretty convinced I'm village and I bet PSV thought she could convince you better than KJQ to vote for me today

Line of thinking does not hold up considering samac was willing to consider you're the last wolf and KJQ had not been opposed to yeeting you.
 
I am at this point relatively convinced the last wolf is SAR. But if I'm wrong then it's important for me and SAR to find each other (again).
 
But also not sure I believe wolf!mad would go through the time to post about how she would vote samac if she went to F3 with her.
Wolf!SAR is far more plausible.
 
Wolf!SAR brings a bby forum noob to F3 with myself (who's been floating in the POE for a few cycles now), convinces mad to vote me, et voila. Game won.
BUT NOT SO FAST.
