WW LXXIX: Fall From Olympus

[Glirdan]

Eros was out on the hunt, even after the affairs of the previous Day AND Night. He was not going to let the other two upstarts bring the rest of the Olympian Gods down, not while he was on watch.

He was just walking by the room that happened to be where Persephone was resting when he noticed a shadow approaching from the other end of the Hallway. He quickly pressed himself against the wall so as to hide from the mysterious figure and quietly drew his sword. But it was too late, the figure had seen him and quickly turned around, running from him. He swore under his breath and started giving chase.

Just as he was starting to close the gap between the two, he collided with someone else. Thinking it was the second of the two, he swung his sword for where he estimated was the neck. There was a dull thunk as the figure's head hit the floor. Just then, a sliver of moonlight peaked in through the window across the hall and illuminated the face...It was Demeter.

Eros collapsed to the floor. There was no way that Demeter could have been one of the scoundrels that was bringing the Twilight upon them. She was just there, on her way to keep an eye on Persephone.

And then he heard it, directly behind him, something was slinking thier way toward him.

------------------------------------------------
START OF THE DAY

The rest of the Gods gathered again in the ruins of the Great Chamber. Zeus had gotten rid of the bodies of his children and wife before closing himself off in his quarters, but the place was still an utter mess.

And there, on top of the slab that had crushed Hercules, lay Eros. As the Gods approached, they noticed that a cross had been carved into his chest, and his sword was stuck right in the middle of the cross, with Demeter's head jammed onto the hilt of the sword.

The Gods all dispersed, completely disgusted by the sight of their fellow Gods. It was Day 5 of the ending of their lives.

THE DAY HAS BEGUN
Wolves stop PMing.

Everyone start posting.

[the phantom]

Okay, so, 9 of us left. We still have, what, a Ranger with us? And a Shirrif, but he doesn't have powers. And Athena, who possibly knows the Ranger. And a Seer, but he is possibly false. And Zeus, but who knows what he's up to. And Persephone, who I assume is helping the Wolves. And then there's the two Wolves. And the Cursed, who can be turned (or perhaps he is just an Ordo and the deceased Eonwe was Dionysus, as the rules clearly say Dionysus won't be correctly identified upon death).

Here's what we know-

POSSIBLY GUILTY

Kath- Hasn't been around much. Sneaky girl. Drinks too much.
Mira- Has failed hardcore at voting, especially on Day 3.
Nienna- After a couple days of being quiet, she's picked up her game. Pressure?
Nerwen- Named after Galadriel. Very lame.
Folwren- Looked a bit Seerish the first two days. Ploy?
Lalaith- Scary smooth wolf.
Shasta- Unusually quiet this game.
Sally- Proposes evil plans!

DEFINITELY GUILTY

Phantom- Has been found in possession of large quantities of win, has been convicted on numerous occasions for deeds that exceeded the acceptable level of epic and awesome, and stands accused of stealing all the world's sexy.

And now... sleep time.

[Folwren]

I'm about to head off for work. Sometime today I'll catch up on yesterDay's activities and see what's up. I briefly glanced through what had occurred last night when I returned home. Things don't look exactly good.

Could be worse. We still have one Ranger, and maybe a Seer, and Dionysus wasn't turned. We do need to get another wolf toDay, though.

So, a couple of things: I was thinking about who Zeus might be– that is, which player might have acted like that as Zeus. Now, I agree with Sally that it's the sort of thing the phantom might do... but I could actually see Sally herself doing it, just because no-one was expecting it. On the other hand, it could be someone who hasn't been around much and just didn't realise Zeus could still win without Hera. (Kath? Mira? Shasta?)

Also, wouldn't it be worth reading through Greenie's posts for a hint of who Persephone might be? I don't feel up to it right this minute, though.

[the phantom]

Greenie was convinced early on that Mac was Hades, and so we merely need to look through his Day 1 posts and see who he might've looked he was hinting at to figure out who Persephone is.

From Greenie on Day 2-

Hmm. I was pretty sure yesterDay that Mac was Hades (a big part of why I voted for him in the first place), but didn't want to say it because I kind of hoped against all hope that Persephone had failed to notice what I did (a big part of why I voted for him with such flimsy reasons instead of my real ones). That obviously doesn't matter anymore now that all his possible Hades hints are out in the open anyway.

I have some doubts yet (among them the classic "Can it be this easy?"), but unless something drastic happens I'd be willing to vote for Mac toDay

Got it? Good.

And if you reread Greenie, you'll see that only one living player consistently remains on all of her innocent lists. So, if that player is also the player that Mac appears to hint at, that player is without any doubt Persephone. Case solved.

And no- I'm not going to do all of your work for you.

Well it certainly ain't me. Did you miss the part where I was trying to protect her and her dreams? (In a non-rangery fashion, that is.)

Speaking of rangery fashion, rubbish. That didn't work out at all like I wanted.

*cryptic!Sally continues to be cryptic*

Good thoughts on someone who wasn't paying attention to the rules, etc. I think in that case Shasta would be a good candidate. Either way, though, we don't want to kill Zeus, so for the moment at least I don't really care who he/she is.

Kath, however, said something interesting the other Day. I need to find out who she said it to. *goes hunting*
