"You know what? I agree." Paiyoon an a hand through her hair and wrote down a name. "Lydia, if you change your vote for her, I'll vote you next round~"

Sylvie Potter.

"Tarik, what do you think of voting Sylvie?" She raised an eyebrow, measuring their thoughts.

Current Time: TWILIGHT

The sun has begun to set. Please decide on your vote as soon as possible.

An ominous, foreboding aura began to settle in the atmosphere. If tonight wasn't the end of Voluntas Dei Morientis, tomorrow surely will.

The ash above the stadium seemed to thin out a little, revealing sparkling gemstones in the so-called sky of Mastix that seemed to perform a requiem. One for the souls of the dead and Mastix itself, perhaps.

"Honestly I think that Sylvie is alright, but if you want we could vote her, if you want,' She said.

"Not like she's really done much except talk to her owl,"

---

Kotone fidgeted slightly, a question bubbling in the corner of her mind, begging to be asked.

"Hey... Tarik... Um... What role... Do you claim...?"

She mentally smacked herself in the forehead. She messed up her words, again.

Tarik hesitated when Kotone asked him. "...No comment." He couldn't reveal his role to the public with so many threats still around. Besides, wasn't it illegal to reveal ones role? He turned when Paiyoon addressed him. "I honestly have no clue what type of person Sylvie is. Sure I'll vote em, but ask yourself this, are you willing to make a random gamble?"

"Again, role revealing inside the roleplay is completely allowed. It has been allowed since game 1, and the rule will not change in the foreseeable future."

*basically, you can only reveal your role in the rp, and lying is allowed, but you can't reveal your role outside of the rp, like in palpad to another person for example

Dorky Monroe's POV

Dorky frowned. "Okay, I... Both Kotone and Lydia have role-revealed now. But... I'm not sure... If I can trust that either."

...

"Come to think of it, Sylvie has been rather unhelpful with the vot- I- I MEAN- sorry. I- I meant she's been uninvolved with it. I'm the one who has been unhelpful. So... It feels like to me that, Sylvie may be a third-party or Yōkai for this reason. She might... Have an alternate motive so she doesn't care which way the votes go, or she might be stalling the day away so that the Yōkai can strike again?" he guessed.

"I... Know this is a long shot. It's so hard to be certain of anything out here, I don't know how any of you guys make decisions. For all I know..."

...

He turned to look ar Paiyoon rather mournfully. "I know there's nothing clearing me of suspicion by any means. Or you, or Tarik, or anyone else here. The best we can do is just guess and hope we're right, so..."

He gnawed at the nails of his left hand, while shakily scribbling out his previous vote, and writing Sylvie.

"It might be a long shot, Tarik. But... Either way, no matter who we vote on this one, it's a shot in the dark. We might all lose and die tomorrow either way. We just have to hope we're right this time."

His look at Paiyoon shifted into a more grateful glance. "Thank you... For being patient with me all this time. I... I know I really haven't been helpful. At all. But... If this is the end, it's been nice knowing you. Even if only for a short while. Thank you."

...

"I just hope we're right, whatever we wind up deciding upon. And if... It turns out you're some crazy awesome bad*ss mastermind Yōkai or third-party, Paiyoon, bravo, really. I just... Wish this didn't have to come to hurting other people..."

...

"Thank you. For everything, regardless."

He put the writing utensil down with a small thud.

---

Sylvie looked at Dorky.

“I..I just don’t really know what to do… I mean, you saw Hedwig write my vote down, she kinda forced me to vote…..

I’m really sorry if I’m being unhelpful. I’m just trying to cope with what’s going on…..

2 deaths yesterday….. Harry’s a ghost….. Hedwig lands right on my head….”

Hedwig jumped onto Sylvie’s head again.

“She does seem kinda worried.

Are you thinking about Pyro….?”

“Yes…..”

"Alright, enough bullcrap." Paiyoon grinned. "I'm the Miko. I visited Sylvie last night and she's a Yokai. I don't know who the archangel is, but I think it's Lydia. If I'm wrong and Lydia is a saint, I need you to protect me. The remaining Yokai will target me. Tarik, I want to trust you, so I am going to investigate you tonight. I'm fairly certain your the other saint, so if you want to protect me too, that can only help me. Milotic is one hundred percent good because she voted Sylvie. Kotone, I apologize for throwing your name around. I wanted to see if you would reveal, and secondarily, who would jump on the vote. Sylvie did just that, and refused to change her vote once Kotone revealed as Valkyrie. And I'm inclined to trust Kotone here."

Paiyoon grinned. "You all have been farming potatoes, and I'm over here playing chess. So it comes down to the simple fact: do you trust me? Because when Sylvie is voted out and the game confirms my story, it will be pretty funny if you were on the wrong side of the vote."

"Any questions?"

"I am a Saint! Being an archangel sounds boring, really."

Lydia was next to paiyoon. When had she gotten there?

"I protected you!

---

"...Paiyoon, are you really the miko though?"

Shieta all of the sudden spoke up. As much as Shieta trusted Paiyoon, who knows if the other was lying was about it and was instead a 3rd party?

"Paiyoon you are so obsessed with other protecting you, which infact make sense. But what if I say I was the miko? Of course you all don't have to believe me, nor does the saints have to protect me (though that will be nice thank you). There is no reason too. But still, I can say with confidence that Miss Paiyoon, is 100% not the aligned with the yokai, but she definitely isn't a miko either."

Sheita said all that in one breath, she didn't bother to make any further claims about her role, as long as the seed of doubt is planted, she can only hope that everything goes in the right way.

Plus it's not like she spoke any lies in the first place, everything she said was sthe truth.

"If I survive this night and can report back on Tarik, I'll believe you. But I think you wanted to get voted out so you could throw us into chaos by knowing the archangel marked people. Either that, or Genghis Khan really is all that. Will you vote Sylvie? I promise she's evil." Paiyoon raised an eyebrow curiously. She really wanted to trust Lydia, but the girl and the fate controlling her made it so hard.

"If you're saying that you're the Miko, I call cap. And then next round I'll vote for you Shieta. Because I'm 99% sure that Tarik will come up clean. So be very careful what you insinuate." See, there it was. Shieta being suspicious. Just as Paiyoon had predicted. "It's all falling into place now."

---

"Like that one movie!!"

What a peppy girl.

She took her magic slip of paper and somehow changed the letter in Lydia Satou to Sylvie Potter.

"Ehehe~! All done~!"

---

Sheita sighs, "Please don't understand me. I'm not saying Tarik is suspicious, after all it's only the second day. But it's a lie that you are saying that you are a Miko and I'm just correcting you thats all. Though I must admit, you are impressive for being able to convince everyone in this short amount of time."

Shieta paused, "You almosted convinced me too."

"I was going to keep quiet, and I would've believed your lie if I wasn't the miko. But because I was, I spoke up. I'm just expressing my honest opinion and doubt that's all. I wasn't speaking any lie or bullcrap. There isn't any need to get so defensive."

Shieta said calmly, but her mind is going a thousand miles per hour, was Paiyoon civilian aligned or was she a 3rd party???

---

"Thank you, Lydia. I- I really appreciate it." Paiyoon could feel a rush of relief. Maybe she really could trust Lydia.

"What's it going to be, Shieta? Will you take my gamble? I promise you won't be disappointed when the night falls."

---

"...Paiyoon, I honestly want to believe that you are trustable. But now.. I really don't know what to think anymore."

Shieta shook her head and wrote a name down. "This will be the last time, please don't disappoint me next time Paiyoon."

Sylvie

Sheita hoped desperately, she didn't choose the wrong person. Plus even if she chose anyone else, there wouldn't be any chance that the votes would turn over..

I'm sorry..

---

"That's interesting, Shieta. It would be quiye interesting if we ended up on the same side. But I cannot ignore your counterclaim. I just don't know why you would do it..."

"Ghosts!" Paiyoon addressed the air merrily. "If you get a little visit from our Valkyrie, you should either kill Shieta or Dorky! I'm fairly certain that they are the other two Yokai!"

It was scary how calm that Paiyoon was. It was almost as if she had the entire game figured out.

"Looks like Sylvie's going to die," She said.

She thought for a bit... thinking if she should change her vote.

"Although something seems wrong, there can't be two Mikos... can there?"

"Meaning either Shieta or JustCath..one of them isn't telling the truth,"

"That means one of you are the Miko...and the other is a Yokai or Archangel,"

"Although I do trust Paiyoon more than Shieta as I've known Paiyoon more-"

"I can't exactly determine who is who based on bias,"

---

"Alright, enough bullcrap." Paiyoon grinned. "I'm the Miko. I visited Sylvie last night and she's a Yokai. I don't know who the archangel is, but I think it's Lydia. If I'm wrong and Lydia is a saint, I need you to protect me. The remaining Yokai will target me. Tarik, I want to trust you, so I am going to investigate you tonight.

"Any questions?"

Tarik rubbed his eyes tiredly. It seems he hadn't gotten any sleep since 16 years ago while in the void, and the effects were finally starting to show after he exited the void. "That would be an astute observation from you. I'm quite surprised. I still refuse to reveal my current role though, i value caution above all else. Glad youcan check up on me. One thing though, the archangel comes up as not aligned with the Yokai, so if i were to be the archangel as you previously suspected, wouldn't i still turn up innocent? Just a word of caution for future readings if you truly are the Miko. I'll trust you and vote Sylvie here. If she's no Yokai, best believe that we're going to get the true Valkyrie to give a ghost a kill to slay you." Tarik wrote down Sylvie on his slip of voting paper. "...Don't let me down. I've been betrayed one too many times in my life."

Dorky Monroe's POV

Role claims. Role counter-claims. Confusion all around. Just trust me.

...

Was it really Sylvie? Dorky felt queasy.

"Paiyoon... Wh-what the hell? I guess... I should say it, shouldn't I? I wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe me, but I'm a Civilian. That's all, nothing else. But I mean..."

He smiled sadly. "Go ahead and kill me if you want to. It's not like I'm any help anyways."

Paiyoon was so, so arrogant. So confident things would go her way.

And Dorky was... Really nervous. Could he trust Shieta or Paiyoon? Was Sylvie really innocent?

If they all got this vote wrong, they were screwed. That was all there was to it.

Dorky almost wished he had been one of the deaths. Why couldn't the survivors be people who knew what they were doing?!
