After a day of much heated discussion, role reveals, counter role reveals, and one instance of flashing which everyone later agreed to pretend never happened, the Lonely Hearts finally decided who to kill. Because no matter what, no matter who, each day must end in blood. Twas the Lonely Heart way.
Or was it?
Eomer of the Rohirrim was selected for death. But before anyone could touch him to strike or slash or smother or bloody or maim or disembowel, he smiled enigmatically and drew forth a bow and arrow which had been, amazingly, hidden beneath his housecoat. He held the LHers at bay, and for one long moment none knew what might happen. Possibly he had some bizarre role wherein once voted for, he got to kill the entire "village" in an epic display of nonsensical carnage?!?
But no.
“I
am the Ranger,” he said. “The Lovers' Ranger. Come, my dear
Psyche, our time amongst the mortals is ended.” And so saying, he reached out his hand to
Fea.
“Phooey,” said Fea -- or rather, Psyche. But she took his hand anyway. “I tried my best, dear
Cupid. And yeah, I figured out it was you. I don’t need a dream to show me my true love’s face!”
“Barf,” said Brinniel.
But the Immortal Lovers, he the Cobbler Ranger and she the Cobbler Seer, paid her no mind. They heard the voice of Venus calling them home, for their time was ended now that the Lonely Hearts no longer tolerated Cupid to stay.
Cupid shot a bow towards the sky, and then
the spirits of Cupid and Psyche departed the mortal bodies of Eomer and Fea. No longer possessed by those mischievous immortals, the pair of once lonely hearts fell dead.
Whether or not the son of Venus and his bride had succeeded in their mission here on earth, only time would tell.....
It is now Night
