The Syndicate

The vampires were a really strong team. They played the roles to perfection and manipulated the thread perfectly. Tranqs post about Nova is what made two civvies kill her as far as I could tell. He just left the possible slip dangling there in the middle of a night when civvies were killing. I was hoping that the civvies could flip the game around, but with the baddies playing so hard there was no chance.

I was so excited when sig threw in a kill for svs but the very next pm in my inbox was a never mind. We were really hoping he’d target Mac and bring this game back to an any mans game.

You guys really deserved this win. You played hard with only one casualty. Hats off to Mac, tranq, illy, and svs. Good game.

Ambray has been lynched. She was the Mayor

It is now Night 4 you have 23 hours to get your PM's in

Fixed, sorry, still getting a handle on some new things. My bad.

In the small town of Sunnydale, California, the sun shone brightly on Sunnydale High School, where students were just being let out for the day. Inside the library, Rupert Giles, the school's librarian, spoke to a young student as he thumbed through a thick tome.

"Now, these dreams you've been having, Buffy, some of the symbolism matches certain prophecies in this Sumerian holy book... switch hands." Buffy, balanced easily in a one-handed handstand, nimbly hopped onto her other hand,with preternatural balance. "Although it's not yet clear what these portents mean..."

Buffy worked her legs through a series of defensive manoeuvres. "So, you think these dreams have some meaning beyond the literal? Like when that Freud guy said, when you're dreaming about a cigar, it's really-"

"Erm, yes," Giles interjected hastily. "Er, something like that." He read on, his brow becoming more furrowed. "Tell me again Buffy, about the hydra part."

"The multi-dragon-thing? Well, I had been dreaming about the usual stuff, mostly getting trapped in a locker in the boys' change room as gym class lets out, or being at a piano recital and realizing I never practiced..." Giles impatiently motioned her along. "And then suddenly this four-headed dragon thing was towering above me, and there was a glowy gem thing."

"Was it... was it rose quartz?" Giles' serious tone went unnoticed by Buffy.

"Yeah, I guess... it was a light pinky colour, kind of a rough crystal, yeah, quartz! It was just floating there, bobbing up and down." Buffy noticed a paling in Giles' complexion, and she gracefully flipped forward onto her feet. "Giles, are you all right?"

Giles pointed to the book. "Rose quartz and hydra, just as you described it. Both these texts corroborate it - there is an apocalypse coming!"

An audible gasp echoed through the library, and the sound of a book hitting the ground. Buffy and Giles looked at each other in concern, and they both moved to confront the unseen intruder. As they approached the bookcase, they could hear a frantic whisper: "No no, just... pretend we were making out!"

As the rounded the corner, they saw Xander Harris and Willow Rosenberg in a comically unconvincing tangle of arms and legs. Willow jumped. "Oh!" she cried, "We are so embarrassed, we didn't know anyone was-"

"That's quite enough," interrupted Giles. "How much did you hear?"

Xander spoke up. "Really nothing at all just a bit about some dreams Buffy had, and that they foretell the apocalypse, that's about it." He held his hands wide and shook his head disarmingly.

"So, everything," said Buffy matter-of-factly. "Look, you guys have to go. This is serious."

Willow stepped forward and spoke earnestly. "Oh, but that's exactly why we should stay! I don't know exactly what kind of apocalypse you're talking about, but guess what: I live here too, and I don't want it to end!" Buffy and Giles looked at each other, and Willow continued, "I can be really helpful too! You need to scour some old dusty books, I love old dusty books!" She turned to Buffy. "And come on, Buff, I can help on the computer as well! You know Giles is barely even able to log in."

"Well, er," Giles took off his glasses and blinked several times, "You know they only give you three chances to get your password right before they-"

"And I can be useful too," interjected Xander, "I can do coffee runs, lunch runs... other runs, I'm actually a pretty fast runner! Not everyone knows that about me."

"What do you say, guys?" Willow clasped her hands together.

Giles sighed. "Very well... see what you can find in the back on Sumerian doom prophecies." Willow broke into a huge grin and clapped her hands. "And Xander," Xander perked up, ready for his assignment. "Earl Grey, one milk, two sugars."
