Everyone was standing outside the workshop. Melanie's sudden exit had left everyone confused as to the state of the game - would it continue, or be called off due to untimely mod injury? - but of course the game had to continue! This is a test of wits, after all! And I had something special planned: in order to add some suspense into it, I would call everyone back in, one at a time, making it seem like one of them was out that night. And then I'd announce who the target for the night really was.
"Ow! What do you think you're doing?!"
I'd recognize that voice anywhere - it was Nikki's voice. Was she in trouble? Shortly thereafter, I heard someone scream. I'd recognize that soft, not-manly at all scream anywhere too - it was Tony Eisler, my ultimate rival. I rushed outside only to find Tony laying on the ground, bleeding, and Nikki standing over him, hammer in hand, with a proud look on her face.
"Aaahhh, that felt so good. ~ I had enough of this guy's constant teasing."
"Nikki?! What is this turn of events?"
"He kept trying to pull on my tail! Don't you know that the tail is one of the most sensitive parts of a Beastman's body?! How rude," she said with an air of dismissal and indignation that stated she was clearly the one in the right.
"Shouldn't someone take him to the infirmary?" A student passing by the workshop had been watching, and felt the need to speak up.
"Well, that might be a good idea, except Melanie ran off to who knows where," Nikki said. "Not that it really matters, Tony's as good as dead if I see him again anyway."
"Ugh ... my head hurts ..."
"Shut up! Maybe, if you don't want your head to hurt, you should have stopped touching me after I told you to stop!! What is up with that, anyway? You think you can get off poking me whenever the hell you want?"
Nikki was known for being fairly hot-blooded, so this was fairly reasonable for her, not that I minded seeing such a cute Beastgirl rail on my arch-nemesis. Almost immediately, she changed the subject.
"Heh ... maybe Melanie ran off scheming her plan for revenge for being lynched in our game or something."
My epic plan to build suspense foiled, I headed back through the door into for the third day, and everyone followed me. That was when I noticed that Muppy, the alien we had recovered during our research trip to the Mana Ruins, seemed to be missing as well. I wasn't really watching him, nor did I have much of an idea of where he would have been likely to go, though, so I didn't stop the game to look for him, and the game continued.
