The village enjoys another busy day of wild accusations and an inability to come to a firm decision on who to send to the gallows, after a late push to try and put NHamlet in the noose, luck was on his side as a last minute vote rang out from the crowd, seconds too late.



@"luketd" knew the end was near, he could feel it as the sun broke in that morning, a close call the night before he would have needed some sort of information to surface in order to spare his life today. He was prepared, he wore his fanciest shoes, his only pants without tears in them and a nicely ironed shirt, buttoned to the top. As he walked to the gallows, head held high, he scanned the crowd of villagers seeing if anyone would hold make eye contact with him, knowing it was all their fault that these events were taking place. Slowly climbing the stairs to the platform, he was ushered to hurry things up. The noose was placed around his neck, he turned to the crowd, scanning their faces once again, this time looking for someone specific, RED peeks out from behind another villager, momentarily locking eyes with Luke.



Very faintly, RED notices the lips of Luke curl up into an evil smile, did anyone else see this? RED turned a very chalky white, unsure of what Luke was so content with, a quick wink and the platform drops from beneath him, putting up no fight, almost embracing the life leaving his body.



A curious RED asks the crowd if anyone else saw the smile, but was unable to hear any answers over the commotion of the crowd. Wearily, he heads back to his home after the group dissipates.



As the moon rises, there is a lone villager walking the streets, if anyone was listening, they would have heard a quiet knock on a door and the very slow "creeeeeaaaakkk" as it opened to welcome its guest.


As the night continues, a bloodcurdling scream echoes throughout the village, but no howl follows this time, only silence.

The villagers awaken the following morning, and convene in the town square, a quick headcount shows they are only missing one villager from what was expected, @RomanesEuntDomus must have slept in was the consensus. They draw straws, giving Grum the mission of investigating the home of RED. His door was unlocked as he stepped inside, everything was in order as he made his way inside. As he looked in the kitchen, he sees a leg outstretched on the floor. expecting the worst, he slowly peeks around the corner to find the body of RED motionless, still holding the teabag he was about to place in his mug for his nightly cup of tea.
