Anyway, read everything. And by "read everything," I mean I skipped a LOT of shit.

Think Kevin Spacey is the more important objective, but I'm not going to fault people for taking the bird(s) in the hand.

I'll move my vote but it will be a symbolic gesture.

Since you're the hero of the day, might I ask for a morsel or two on each as to why you think that?

Nook - his recent posting re: Kate and Dennis being outed reminds me more of scum!nook pretending to be disinterested rather than town!Nook actually being disinterested.

Falcon - I read his D1 ISO and was actually thinking about targeting him, but since I expressed sus of him D1 and voted for him, I thought it would be harder to run the gambit I did with him. His D1 ISO did not have the characteristic game-related prods that I associate with town Falcon. I don't remember anything from him D2, which also isn't great.

Wilgy - I don't know. They're behind the scenes in my mind today even more so than usual.

Jack - Spending a whole lot more time messing around rather than scum hunting. I don't think I saw a single solving post at all today.

Thun - I had a bad feeling about her yesterday, but take that with a grain of salt since I always have a bad feeling about her. I also thought about targeting her overnight, but decided against it since I often suspect her regardless of her alignment, especially early game (so y'all should figure her out... or I will eventually).

Thanks. That all sounds reasonable at first glance.

One more question if you don't mind:

How do you view the idea that Kate and Dennis are okay with how things are playing out?

Forgive me if you already answered this and I glossed over it. Long day.

Forgive me if you already answered this and I glossed over it. Long day.

I did already address this, tldr I think it is because Kate kinda thought she might be screwed pretty much since SoD, so she had already mentally processed it. I saw her rolecard (or, part of it rather), so I had her dead-to-rights, and there was no way she was winning that thunderdome. I believe she is still independently aligned, so even if she did survive one extra day, it wouldn't actually help her win. Similarly for Dennis.

I also think regardless of their behavior, seeing their flip will help us figure out what sorts of things to be expecting.

I'm pretty sure my name on a playerlist gives you a bad feeling lol.

About Nook, I think his posts about being disinterested were not entirely serious regardless of alignment. It feels *too* exaggerated and fake for him to think people will believe he isn't exaggerating. It's like he's trying to be hard to read and if he is he's succeeding.

I have paranoia about Falcon because he's too towny if that makes any sense. Normally he seems against the grain, has a somewhat narrow focus, and sometimes comes up with theories out of left field. Here it seems like he's prodding a lot of places and feels more productive on a surface level but there isn't the kind of conviction I normally feel from his pushes.

One thing I'm wondering is what Kate's real read on Wilgy and others was. Afaik she's not informed and therefore will have done some genuine solving, but I looked back and can't figure out if her Wilgy read is real or fake. She certainly didn't pursue it to the extent she often pursues her confident scumreads.

Got any theories on their wincon? That's something I'm curious about especially since Kate and Dennis both just gave up. I feel like their lolcatting isn't characteristic of two people who just 100% lost the game so I'm wondering if the sins have a collective wincon.

I mean, it seems likely that multiple sins will somehow convert to mafia and then it will be more like a normal mafia faction. I believe Kate when she says that she can also win as sole survivor (assuming whatever needed t ohappen to have her convert does not happen).

I don't think speculating about the exact details of this before we see a sin flip is particularly productive. Who do you think is bad (sin or John)?

End of Day 2

Charity Nichols knocked 4 times and coughed. She always knocked 4 times and coughed- that way, the john knew it was her, and not some nosy neighbor looking to start trouble.
In a way, she always felt her name was fitting- a street worker giving out satisfaction to those in need. Did her mother have this life in mind when she named her? She didn’t know. It didn’t matter, anyway. Her mother was long dead and buried, but not before instilling in Charity a sense of purpose: that she had the assets and the means to provide it. Like mother like daughter, she’d probably say.

The john opened the door. He didn’t look like much, but then again, few did. He took one look at her bust, gave a quick nod and then turned around on his heels and walked back into the recesses of his living room. Creepy vibes aside, it seemed like this was going to be either a quick sale or else a glorified therapy session. She was fine with either- it had been a slow day. They often were just lonely men wanting company. And, well, she was very good at giving company.

———————————————-

Mills stood in the corner of the basement apartment- about as far away from the body without appearing to be.

After his new partner had been immediately shot, he was a bit on edge with this new case. His new partner, Autumn, was not as practiced as Somerset seemed to be, but they had to head into this headfirst together for better or worse.

Autumn picked up the Polaroid on the foot of the bed.
“He made me do it! He- he made me, you gotta believe me! Get these things off me!” A near-inconsolable man wriggled out of his leather bonds in the chair with the help of a police officer. “He forced me down and held a- held a gun…oh my god…to my head and told me to…use that THING on her. Oh my god, oh my god, my wife. She can’t know about this.”
Mills lifted the bloody bedsheet, but immediately dropped it, recoiling in disgust. Damn. Damn damn.
“Did he say anything else to you?” Autumn inquired
The man simply sputtered.
“Did…did he? Yes, I mean, oh my god. I can’t- she was screaming. It was awful, he-“
“Did he talk about why?” Mills cut in, moving away from the corner.
“Why? Why he…yes. He kept…he kept asking me if I found her pretty. If I…fantasized about her. I- well, I wasn’t gonna say no with a gun to my head, was I?! Oh my god, oh my god, my wife. I need to get home to my wife!”
Autumn gestured to the door. “Get him out of here. We’ll have more questions later.” Autumn had more questions now, but they were piling upon each other. She glanced up at the word carved into the bed post above the body of Charity Nichols.

ATTENTION

Poor Richard, which is what his cousins used to call him, loved nature. He had used to be in the financial sector, but had felt boxed in and analogous with the most despicable big wigs that he liquidated his property and moved out to the country with only camping supplies and weekly rationed cash to scrape by on. It wasn’t as if he was actually poor- his assets were secure in trusts and ETFs if he were to ever come back into the “real world”. But after 7 years in the woods, reliant on his own intuition and inner peace, Poor Richard felt richer as a person. Instead of hedge-fund managers breathing down his neck, he had far simpler conflicts to deal with: coyotes, javelinas and, if he were SK lucky, the occasional black bear. It had truly become a spiritual experience without the earthly burdens of capitalistic greed.

Poor Richard had recently had his bi-weekly excursion from the confines of his self-made cabin in the woods into town to pick up more supplies, and had headed back the long way- his favorite way- the scenic route.

He had picked up many skills as he became more of a permanent resident in the woods: fishing, carpentry, hunting. Everything a survivalist would need on a macro level. Unfortunately, he hadn’t the proper knowledge-base of foraging, and after gorging on an unscrupulous amount of berries he found along a gorgeous ridge hike, he began feeling quite ill. Chalking it up to acute dehydration, he continued on with his mission and sauntered further and further away from civilization into his own private bubble of a cabin, where hikers ultimately discovered his dead body 7 weeks later, half devoured by the animals he grew to live with.

Larry Tegan popped another sweet roll into his mouth and looked hurriedly around for a napkin or a towel to wipe the residue from his fingers. Finding neither, he wiped them hastily on his pants and put both hands back on the steering wheel, watching as the distant hillside obscured the setting sun. Larry, ever the pragmatist, had left early on his expedition to the city in his quest to make the queue for his favorite author’s book signing. By his calculations, he was going to just make it after picking up some snacks from the gas station stop shop.

It was when he was reaching for his last sweet roll that Larry spotted him- a vagrant a quarter mile down, maybe- a guitar case slung around his back and an outstretched thumb. Normally, Larry wouldn’t stop for hitchhikers- and normally he wasn’t on a time crunch- but today he felt different. Perhaps it was the sugar and his black coffee creating chemical reactions in his brain, perhaps it was merely happenstance. But he decided to stop, and help the stranger that day.

He never did make it to that book signing.

When she woke, the first thing she noticed was the pain. Even before she opened her eyes, she tried to scream from that intense pain, only to find her mouth gagged and taped shut. When she opened her eyes, she was staring at herself. Or, at least faint shadings of her former self. The woman staring back at her was almost inhuman- where there had been a beautiful, perfect nose after 4 plastic surgeries now sat a bleeding crater, as if haphazardly ripped from her face. She tried to scream again in agony, but her protests were swallowed entirely.

“Ah, you’re awake,” came a voice. She couldn’t see it, but as she looked past the horror of her nose, she realized she was bound from the waist down, and was forced to sit up on her bed looking at herself in the full mirror she usually kept at the end of the room.
“There you are, as close to your former self as God intended.”
She couldn’t see the source of the voice, but he was somewhere beyond the mirror. She looked further and realized she had both hands wrapped in duct tape: she could make out a bottle of pills in one hand, and her cell phone in the other.

The mirror was yanked away and she could see him in the dim light of her bedroom. His hair was short, if not slightly balding. A face you would see every day without thinking twice about- no definition and muted colors. He was quite especially average in all sense of the word.
“You might have noticed your predicament. Which, to be sure, is something you probably rarely encounter in your every day life. Am I right?”
He waited for a response, and she tried screaming at him, struggling against her bonds. To no avail.
“Tsk. Because I’m sure you were put on this earth as a beautiful human being. Now look at you.”
He sat on the bed. Tears began running freely down her face. She wanted to know why. She wanted to strangle this man that, she only just started to realize, destroyed her modeling career. She couldn’t show her face in the industry. The man seemed to see this transformation on her face, for he continued: “So now that you see, I’m leaving the next part up to you. You can call for help, or, if you think there is nothing that can help you…”
He unceremoniously ripped the tape off her mouth and took the sock out of her mouth. She made to scream, but inwardly held back this time. Her vision swam and the tears were mixing with her cratered nose, stinging painfully.
“W-why…?” she sobbed.
He got up and made his way towards the door. Without much thought, he said wryly on his way out: “Are you as pretty on the inside as you think you were on the outside?”
Then he left her to cry. And cry.

Mills and Autumn departed the brownstone of the woman that had graced the covers of various magazines and billboards. She was unrecognizable now.

Mills spat as they walked along the street.
“Damned shame. Do you think our John Doe did it?”

“Doubtful,” responded Autumn. “But no way to truly know. He wanted us to think she had a choice.”

Mills swatted at a low branch as they walked. “I don’t think I’d want to go on living like that. And I don’t even have a modeling career. Yet. Maybe if I could shack up with Jennifer Aniston or something.”

“You’re married, Mills,” Autumn said with side-eye.

“And you’re a mirthless robot who can’t take a joke. Anyway, we’re gonna catch this bastard and when I do, I’ll rip his nose off. For now..lunch. You’re buying.”

“Why am I buying? I bought the last time.”

Mills put his hands up. “See? Mirthless robot. That was a joke and you failed.”
