Naomi was still wandering around, near the staircase near the music room where she had started. There was a visible stream of tears flowing from her eyes at this point.

"... Naomi!"

"... !"

She heard a voice coming from the first floor, where she came from. Rather than running towards it, she merely froze in place, overcome with a sense of relief. She was somewhat shocked that her half-assed strategy had actually yielded results - she knew that she was just panicking, and that objectively speaking, the chance of Seiko actually finding her there was extremely low. But she didn't care. There was also, of course, the possibility both would miss each other and get lost again if they were both running towards each other

After another minute, the two girls were facing each other. They then put their arms around each other's, hugging each other closely.

Naomi felt like she was floating - she didn't really care about anything else at all in that instance, besides the fact that she was found by her friend. Tears continued flowing from her eyes, and Seiko wiped them away, leaving room for more tears. Seiko felt an overwhelming sense of happiness after seeing her friend again, but her composure was still intact and a part of her was thinking of what their next move would be.

"I'm ... so glad you're here ..." Naomi said, still crying.
"This place is awful! All the windows are just attached to the wall, everything is locked, it's dark, the air feels weird! I hate it!"

Seiko let her continue, on the assumption that letting her yell out all her negative emotions would make her feel better. She stroked Naomi's hair gently. Eventually, Naomi stopped.

"It's OK. ... I'm sure we'll find a way out of here. Plus, Satoshi is here too, and he's found a lot of information! We had spent the past half hour searching before finding you." Seiko spoke in as soft and quiet a voice as she could.

The last two sentences in particular made Naomi's eyes light up. Eventually, she felt better, and so they turned around and went back into the hallway. Except ...

"Aw, damn it. Where is Satoshi, even? He was with me just a few minutes ago! Geez, guys are so clueless ..."

They searched the entrance where they came in, the permanent records room (or rather, what they could, given the door was the same as when Satoshi tried to open it), and the music room, to no avail. He wasn't anywhere to be found. In particular, he wasn't in the music room.

............................

Eventually, the earthquake stopped. Satoshi got up, his head still in a sheer state of disbelief that such an earthquake happened while in the closed space.

"What the hell was that?! I legitimately thought something would fall and hit me in the damn head!"

He kicked one of the desks in the leg. Observing his surroundings more closely, he noted that the room he was in was at least the same as before ... except it felt a bit different.

"This place is giving me the creeps. I swear this looks like the same room as before, but the air in here feels really different. Almost ... heavier?"

"... !"

"Damn it, that's right! Seiko ran off and left me sitting there. I need to find her!"

He immediately took off running, and was promptly stopped by another ghost that appeared as a blue, flickering flame.

"GYAAH!"
"So ... I've sensed that you came here from another closed space."

As soon as Satoshi heard that, his throat closed. He knew what that meant - it would be difficult for him to get back to Seiko at this point, and Seiko was likely running around looking for him with no knowledge of the idea that it was possible he wasn't even there anymore.

"Shit. Do you know of any way I can get back?"

"The link holding all the closed spaces together is currently very weak. I'm not sure why it's like this, but travel between closed spaces shouldn't be that difficult - you just have to have a bit of luck."

"Of course. It's based around luck, and it sent me AWAY from the space I wanted to be in."

"I should warn you. There is a killer in this space," the ghost said. He was obviously referring to Mayu - this was, in all likelyhood, the same ghost Mitsuki had saw, although Satoshi would not know that - "but she is currently inactive. You won't be able to catch her in her current state."

"Wait, wait, wait. Who's this 'killer'? What do you mean by 'inactive'?" Satoshi had already acquainted himself with the long and short of the situation here, and he wanted information.

"I'm sorry, I don't have that information."
...
"I can tell you, though, one of your friends - or I'd guess she's your friend, based around the fact you all got here at the same time - is here with you. So I'd recommend looking for her first."

"... OK. Thanks ..."

Satoshi still wasn't sure what to do. It felt as if any effort he had put into this had suddenly been erased, forcing him to start over.

...

About half an hour later, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of him.

"... Ayumi!"

Satoshi started running towards her, but she didn't respond. After getting closer to her, he slowed down, sensing that something was horribly wrong. Her knees were shaking, and her face was trembling, almost pure white. She appeared to be completely oblivious to Satoshi calling out for her - almost as if she was stuck in a completely separate world entirely. She appeared fragile - as if one poke could make her collapse. Naturally, Satoshi was concerned.

"Hey, Ayumi! Are you all right?!"

Then she passed out. Satoshi tried a wide variety of things, such as shaking her, holding her head, and calling out her name again, but none worked. After verifying her pulse and confirming that she was, indeed, alive, he turned around.

......... "GYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

He was staring directly at Mitsuki's corpse - except this time, that's not all it was. The body of Kensuke lay next to her, hands interlocked. While Mitsuki's corpse looked innocuous until you looked at her neck, Kensuke's was completely different. There were copious amounts of blood - his uniform was stained completely through with it, and it had started pooling on the floor under him. But, most importantly, there was a rather large knife implanted in his back.

It was fairly obvious how he died. The two corpses faced each other, laying there, holding hands, their lifeless eyes pointed towards each others', but not seeing or transmitting any emotion as normal eyes would do.

It was enough to make Satoshi jump back on instinct, lose his footing, and fall to the floor. Someone had quite obviously done this. The thought of that sent chills down his spine.

[ZeL1nK2]

I would like to do some reading over the course of this day phase

Actually there was something in particular I wanted to revisit when I have time but that probably won't be until about 24 hours from now.

[4nxi3ty]

So I still think gaiden is an okay lynch but after being wrong about thorki I'm not as certain anymore. Also thought they were scum together from the way thorki pushed skold over gaiden.

Zelink is my strongest townread right now for not hiding behind the pseudo-votecounts, instead being pro-active with enagaging people too.

May want WP to fullclaim today to sort out his darkness aspect.

I think ank might be town for the way he voted on nacho yesterday. I wouldn't expect scum to push a town theory and vote at the same time, knowing thorki would flip town, essentially drawing a lot of attention to himself the next day.

Ank, why did ya vote tho if you thought he could be town?

I also liked that ank had a similar thought process as me about Mikazuki's policy lynch comments.

Mikazuki's reaction to me yesterday was good. I could totally see where she was coming from.

Feels like not science went below my radar. I'd originally had him as town though for tone and reaction to lufan's self-vote. NS egging people to vote him and the claim of being immune to votes was unprompted, right? I need to go back and look at that context.

[Mikazuki]

Well it's pretty obvious who WP's character is by now, but I think he should only reveal the details of his ability if it would be helpful to town. I'm still a little surprised that any kind of ability that increases darkness would even be given to a town player in the first place though.

I might also need to rethink my read on NS for reasons. Anka what do you think of ZZZX now?

Btw what are the chances what we're actually going to be getting content out of Gaiden at all? Because I no longer have an opinion on him and at one point totally forgot that he existed in this game.

[Ankamius]

Probably town now. I had an issue with his answer to me, but the only context where it makes sense is if Thor+Loki is scum and purposely put the bit about scum vigging their teammate out as a possibility for him to 'disprove'.

[Ankamius]

Gaiden's probtown.

[Ankamius]

My brain is fuzzy. I'll do reading tomorrow.

[ZeL1nK2]

Actually I'm probably going to start rereading chunks of this game, if not the whole game.

I'm finding myself just staring at the player list and thinking of reasons everyone could be town (but as nice as that would be, I have a feeling it's not correct - call it gut, if you will).

So I'm going to try to figure out where I'm going wrong today.

Also I'm not sure it's that big a deal if we use like 6 days this day phase since it seems to be a +3% thing rather than the multiplier I was assuming it was. And I'd rather take a bit of extra time to sort things out today since yesterday was rushed.

[ZeL1nK2]

Gaiden's probtown.

Actually if I were thinking about it for the point of view of "least reasons to call someone town" I'd probay be thinking Gaiden. Why did you have him as probtown?

[ZeL1nK2]

Also the Taly kill is bugging me a lot.

I don't believe it was PR hunting because he'd already flavour-claimed and Seiko isn't exactly an important character compared to others.

I don't think he was a threat via day play - at the very least I don't recall him having much of an impact on the game whilst he was with us. Though when I have time I'll proabably look over his posts/ISO as well to see if anything sticks out there.

Like... Someone must have considered him a threat for some reason unless it was a pure WIFOM kill, but eh. Maybe it's a fruitless line of thinking and I should just stop considering it.

Pretty much this, I really need to reread with all the new info in mind since I've completely lost direction.

And the ticks only add 1% which is barely anything so we might as well take our time.

P-Edit: I have no idea wtf was going on with the Taly kill either, could have just been a random kill for night 1 since I can't think of any other reason.

[ZeL1nK2]

I mean, I'd still like to lynch within a timely manner because dragging out days is rarely good anyway but I don't want to rush things for no good reason.

[Ankamius]

Gaiden is probtown because I would trust Sakura over everyone else in the player list to be able to read him accurately and she settled on him town.

[4nxi3ty]

Does gaiden and sakura have a history together?

I'd say no more than a 10 day deadline. That way there's only a 5% increase, not including the sachiko role.
And really if you can't find scum in 10 days...
obv should try to lynch sooner but more ppl need to get in here

[SXTLHGaiden]

A long history with a 100% read rate by sakura.

[ZZZX]

will read later tomorrow.

[SXTLHGaiden]

^ why aren't you dead?

[Mikazuki]

That's actually an excellent question.

I have to assume that it's possible to raise darkness by less than 100% at a time to make the rest of the darkness mechanic worthwhile, so I was also surprised that ZZZX is still here if he was already at 70% darkness. But then again WN is probably a better target and they just announced that their darkness when down yesterday so maybe all the darkness was used up on them?

The stuff Thorki said yesterday still makes no sense if Shadow's ability was used on WN, (I assume they told the truth) unless you believe that a vig ability is to raise darkness by only 60% or if there's another darkness lowering mechanic somewhere, both seem unlikely.

[4nxi3ty]

meh, still believe lufan singling out ZZZX points to town.

Well it's pretty obvious who WP's character is by now, but I think he should only reveal the details of his ability if it would be helpful to town.

been thinking about this and not knowing how to avoid WP's passive darkness increase is a problem. Plus a fullclaim from WP will help me decide if the role is town or scum

PoE sez scum is in gaiden, ns, wp. (though it's a weak PoE, need to reread, make sure my townreads aren't wrong)

Gaiden/NS are unlikely to be a team cuz that would mean gaiden was bussing both buddies earlygame and I"m not really buying that.

VOTE: WP

walk me through this read
