I used to make mini games to play during the Night phase but that was exhausting. Plus Darthe's nights are shorter and he allows any kind of chat.

He did say that the  day/night schedule will remain the same, so quite possiboy

[Ithillian Turambar]

I think the deadline was always so late cos he is working. I was so glad when he brought it forward a bit

 

He's probably in a place where you can't slank on your phone all day and can only do work stuff on any laptop in office

Well... lots of transitions through various jobs. A bit of temping. Various relationships. Still not having a clue about anything.

 

But... you get paid.

Oh ok. I just want to know if she lied already. Need to go to bed soon.

Hi all, haven’t had time to even read the last two days so sorry about that.  I just caught up on everything.  That’s a lynch, scene will be in about an hour and a half.

[Darthe]

It always amazed Bottom to see how much impact a small, coordinated team could have. Fighting at the pier had been rough, and things had only escalated from there. The fighting was loud, and took a lot longer than a team like this was meant to engage for. No one died, but everyone wound up injured in numerous small ways that could add up. Worse, they didn’t have a chance to back out and regroup. The team was detained by local authorities for three days before the consulate negotiated their release. Come to find out, those same authorities had a lucrative arrangement with the deceased, and that intel proved to be the leverage needed to get them out.

Bottom now sported several new cuts and bruises, not all from the fighting. Just business, he’d been told, as he was escorted out of a cell that barely deserved the name. When he finally laid eyes on the rest of the group, he saw that they hadn’t fared much better. Hammer, Strummer, and Slacks looked like they’d spent three days trying to bite the edges off their own patience. But Bottom’s eyes locked on Sprout.

She looked unharmed, but her stare was all wrong. Cold, measured, like she was still in an interrogation room and they were all suspects. She’d always had an edge—but now it was honed, drawn, and pointed at them. Her gaze tracked each of them, stopping longer on Hammer than the others.

After the consulate resupplied them the team got back to business, working out of an unused safehouse down by the wharf. Hammer swept it first, finding no bugs, no tail. But still, Bottom noticed Sprout didn’t take off her coat, didn’t sit with her back to any doors or windows.

The silence was a weight.

Finally, Bottom spoke. “This wasn’t just bad luck. Someone wanted us boxed in.”

Strummer grunted. “You think it was the local gangs? That whole dockyard setup felt... too clean.”

“No,” Bottom said. “They were muscle. Rented. Somebody fed them our timeline. Our approach. Everything.”

Slacks shifted in his seat. “You think it was the imposters?”

Sprout finally spoke, sharp. “Or someone pretending to be them.”

Everyone turned. Her voice had steel behind it. “This whole thing stinks. We get burned in-country, we're flushed out the instant we land halfway across the world, and somehow it’s our dead target’s corrupt buddies who negotiate our release? Doesn’t add up.”

Hammer leaned forward. “What are you saying?”

“I’m saying we’re being herded,” she replied. Her eyes said the rest. She thought one of them was holding the leash.

Bottom stood, raising his hands. “Enough. We don’t turn on each other, not without cause. We all know what happened with Chameleon, and we're aware of the risks, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna see another man die who doesn't need to.”

“Yeah, that sounds about right.” Sprout’s demeanor wasn't exactly a call to violence, but it was close enough to make everyone tense. She wasn’t panicking. She was prepared. Had been, probably, since the day they locked up.

Bottom took a slow breath. “Sprout. Whatever you’ve been thinking, we need you clear-headed. We’ve got another lead.”

He walked over to a duffel bag they’d recovered from the gang safehouse near the docks—the same one they'd assumed held only cash and hardware. Instead, tucked behind a false panel, was a small external hard drive marked only with a partial Agency seal and the word: ROCKY.

“This doesn’t belong to the gangs,” he said. “It’s a dead drop. Whoever left it didn’t want it found. Maybe it’s a plant. Maybe not. But it’s a step forward.”

He set it on the table, glancing at each of them. “We decrypt it, we find out who set us up, and maybe—just maybe—we figure out where the other team went dark.”

Sprout didn’t move.  Then, quietly, she said, “I’m going.”

Bottom blinked. “Going where?”

“A different way. You follow that drive, you’ll find your truth. I’ll find mine.”

She backed toward the door. Hammer stepped forward.

“Sprout—”

She pulled something small and silver from her coat. A flash drive. She tossed it onto the table beside the hard drive. “That’s everything I pulled off the consulate network while they were pretending to process us. Files. Schedules. Communications. There’s something buried in there.  Just... make sure you know what side you’re really on.”

Then she was gone, out the door, vanishing into the early morning fog like a ghost.

Hammer leaned back, exhaling through his nose. “One less wildcard. Let’s crack the drive.”

Bottom crossed the room and scooped up the flash drive she’d left. “She knew something. Something she couldn’t say.”

He stared at the ROCKY drive, then at the one Sprout had left behind. Somewhere between the two was a truth none of them were ready for.

2 mafia

5 town

 

Its sweepstakes time

 

I spent the last two nights holstering out of fear that if the person I hid behind got hit, I would double the body count. 
 

But now it would be a waste if I didn’t tease the 2 mafia - where should I hide? 
 

As it stands, I’m not cc’d so I can not hide and avoid the possibility of double kills. And I’m fine with that. 
 

But, if I draw the kill and mafia misses, that buys us another extra day . So we need to talk about it. 
 

The more conversation, the better for town. 

 

Let’s play Where Should The Hider Hide Tonight?!

[Ironeyes]

That's a great way to ensure they don't waste their kill on you

I would hide behind key 

[Nynaeve]

Btw it's still pretty funny to me that tigs haunted Turin/Marsh over having extra info about the condemer role lol  

[Ithillian Turambar]

Yup yup. Am gonna do the work on Key.

 

And I guess Marsh too. 

 

But also I'm watching Star Wars now and probably gonna have a nap. I got the day off today. It's a Bank Holiday on Monday and work was all, oh you can't book a Tuesday off after a Bank Holiday so don't be thinking you can have a 4 day weekend.

 

So I booked the Friday off before instead lol

lol Marsh, for whatever reason ? you just don’t want see the game. 
 

I’m the leading candidate for the nk because everyone knows I’m town. Leaving me on the board increases the town’s chances of lynching scum tomorrow, so they want my slot dead. 
 

Might as well make ‘em work for it.
