Faced with such a decision, Dis looked at first one person, than the other, very pointedly avoiding the two faces that were up for vote until there were no more people to look at.

"I..."  For a moment she had been about to say that she couldn't make such a decision, despite her original vote being up for...well that.  But than she suddenly remembered that she had a job to do, that they had all entrusted her with this very undesirable job, and she visibly tried to straighten her back.

"My vote remains the same, Clockworkshadow."  Her voice trailed off there, and she gripped her hands together, unable to find her voice again.

Marguerite

Marguerite stepped forward to look at Clockwork. "Clock, I am here to bless you with the holy water. I only pray it absolves you of being the murderer." She brought out the vial, opened the cap and tossed the contents onto Clock. If it showed he was a killer, then Dis was right to pick him. If not, then an innocent might be saved.

And so the men returned, to pick ClockworkShadow up and begin carrying her outside. But it was only seconds before Marguerite approached the men, asking them to wait. The Priestess chose to try and save a life that day. And as the water dripped down ClockworkShadow's skin, it became clear that she was indeed innocent of the crimes she'd been accused.

"Thanks to out Priestess, one innocent life was saved today. Go and be merry, my Resident's. I hope that the morning will bring us further news about who is to blame for these crimes."

Come morning, it was not hard to tell someone was missing. The group had  been getting progressively smaller and with less people to be accounted for, it was terribly obvious when Izu did not show to the breakfast table. His body was found half in and half out the window of his bedroom, the same terrifying bite marks on his neck as all the rest. This poor Suite Owner hadn't stood a chance against the power of the beasts.

"We cannot go on like this. You must choose the right ones or we are doomed to similar fates, Residents. Please... choose wisely."

I will be away from sometime Sunday-possibly Wednesday evening. If one of you wouldn't mind keeping track of the votes while I'm away, it would be greatly appreciated but isn't required.

Unless of course we can get all of the votes in within 12 hours. Then I will give 12 hours for night and leave at Day 6. But we'll have to see how it goes!

ClockworkShadow

So much death.  She'd been wrong about Izu; go figure?  She felt a certain sense of satisfaction that she'd never let her suspicions resolve into a final vote against him.  Not that that had saved him.  Although, what did it really matter, in the end?

As she'd gathered with the others, appearing pale and wan in evidence of insomnia, she'd remained grim and silent.  She did not speak to anyone - tuning out the drone of their somewhat-panicky murmuring - and had merely stared, dispassionately, at Izu's corpse for several moments before turning on the ball of her right foot and stalking away.

She'd almost been sent away, merely to be saved by the Priestess at the last moment.  Though, had she really been saved, or, instead, doomed to mirror quiet Izu's fate, as well?

Now, she returned to the common's room, curled up in the chair she'd claimed for herself after Remiel's death.  She wrapped both of her hands - with interlaced fingers - around her knees, and she waited.  Afternoon sunlight spilled through the slats of the blinds over the windows, setting a muted atmosphere.  In thinking about those who had voted against her, her emotions roiled just slightly more when her musings settled upon Moirae.  Had shi been trying to save her, or condemn her?  Whose side was shi  really on?

Aiden

"Last night Marguerite proved she could be trusted and managed to save us from killing an innocent person. I am more than willing to trust her judgement. The night before she cast her suspicions on Moirae and I will as well."
He said with a somber nod, glancing among the waning group of suite owners before returning to his breakfast.
"We need to get to the bottom of this, all I do is eat and sit these past few days I am going to get fat!"
Aiden complained, turning his attention to the females and considering which one he wanted to ask back to the rooms for a heated romp in the sheets to keep him active.

Ryven

"My vote is for Kendra.  I don't trust anyone who doesn't like cake."  He said quite firmly.

Kendra

Another day and another death! Another had been bitten and Kendra felt her insides turn. Who was going to be next? Again people began to vote and when her own name was called she stared in amazement before walking over to Ryven and patting him on his cute derrière.
"I like cake Ryven, just not your timing" she winked before taking a seat and folding her arms across her chest as she pulled her legs up beneath her chin again.
"I vote with the majority" she muttered, "Well it's highly unlikely that I'll vote for myself, so Moirae, apologies. Nothing personal, you understand."

Still a bit off balance by the events of the day before, and still not very close to knowing who was a villain, and who wasn't, with the exception of Clock and Marg, she had no choice but to go with the majority, Moirae.  She just hoped it was the right decision, and not a huge mistake.

"I cannot admit to being surprised.  My horrible guesses have lead me down the wrong path.  Please know ... I have had nothing to do with the ill plots and I shall hope those innocent left the very best of luck, that they shall all see another sunrise.  I know I have seen my last.  My vote, which is of no consequence and is nothing more than another guess, is for Aiden."

"I'm afraid I must agree.  I suspected Moirae before, and my reasons haven't changed.  Let us hope we have at last found one of our oppressors."  And indeed, hope was about all they had left, Val thought with a sigh, for they had guessed wrong far too many times.

With almost everyone submitting their votes for the day's guest who would be leaving, it came down to the dear Moirae. The men escorted her and once again the sound of a car leaving the Stronghold was heard before they returned to give the news. Moirae was just an innocent Suite Owner. Once again, the group had failed to choose their perpetrators and it was quickly becoming apparent that they were fighting a losing battle. It would not take long before they would all suffer the same fate, if something was not done quickly.

The guests wake in the morning to find Marguerite had been the next victim. After saving the life of ClockworkShadow she had done her duty to the house and was already well known as the Priestess. They could only hope that she had gone to be with her higher powers and was in a better place now with the angel Remiel to watch over her.

Another morning had come, another innocent had died. Their numbers were beginning to dwindle and it was beginning to look grim for the lives of the Suite Owners of Saffron Stronghold. This might be their last chance to make the right decision and remove a threat from the home. Could they accomplish such a daunting task, though, or would they fold under the pressure and make another wrong decision?

Ryven

"It has to be Kendra.  I fail to see how it could be anyone else," Ryven said while pouring himself some coffee.  He was surprised that he'd lasted this long.  Several nights he'd stayed awake, hoping his neck would not be the next to sport new piercings.

Azhdeen

Kendra he says softly not sure it will really make a difference at this point in things. he is sure it is only a matter of time before his number is up.

Kendra

Kendra sat at the table staring off into space, another life had been taken and another person had left the house because of them. The only silver lining she could find in that was that any innocents leaving were ensured their lives unlike those who got to stay. Her name was called out and she turned to look at Ryven and Azhdeen, shrugging her shoulders.
"Baaaaa" she bleeted like a sheep before turning away, "You have such a strong case there Ryven."

Valerian

"I think Ryven is right, Kendra," Val said quietly as she sat down, glancing around the table.  "After all, there are so very few people left who could be guilty."

Weary now of all the death, and unable to vote with any real proof, Dis stared into her coffee and cast her vote for Aiden.

In light of ClockworkShadow being absent due to internet difficulties (for an extended length of time), I will let your suffering end. Your last hurrah was just the GM being evil and watching you squirm while there was nothing you could do about it.

The vampires have outnumbered the humans now, and there is little to do but sit and wait to die. It is no longer a question of who survived, but who died last. The tales of Saffron Stronghold are still told decades after the events, long since the gated manner was overrun with vines and creeping leaves. There is talk that the evil that was once unleashed in the Stronghold still lies inside, waiting for it's next victims to come adventuring in.

Miss Saffron seemed to disappear with the house, having never put the property on the market but allowing it to overrun itself. It is not known if she fell victim to the evil inside or if it was her doing to begin with but rumors say that someone is still paying the bills.

Good game everyone! I have two new ones starting up soon. Harvest Moon and The Swinger's Resort do check them out. <3
