I’m back. And I’m fucked it seems. If I cause a tie, I’m screwed. If I don’t I’m screwed…
sigh Screw it, I’m not going to cause a tie. I’m just going to make the vote I would do normally with the information I’ve been given.
Lynch Manx.
See you guys on the other side.
Votes are locked
I mean’t to put it with spaces, but this damned summoning system…
Lynch:Saitsu
Too late Manx.
LOL. Manx, care to explain that, before the heat gets turned up on you?
Day 2: A Soldiers Death
**Saitsu **was going over some blueprints to the base, scratching his head with his pick axe.
"Ya know, cowboy, that might work better without your helmet blocking the scratch? said the Engineer, as he came over to take a look at the blueprints with Saitsu. “What are ya doing?”
“Trying to see if I can find a better spot to perch with my rocket launcher, soldier” said Saitsu, “To keep those bleeding BLU’s out of our base.”
The **engineer **nodded, and began to help the **Soldier **with the base defenses, showing him some key places they could help cover each other.
Over on the other side of the room, people were starting to talk about the previous night.
“We found Azure this morning… or at least part of him. His head is still missing” said the Sniper. “Bloody Hell, there’s only one man I know who could punch a head clean off”
“Aye,” said the Engineer, “One of my mechanical creations.”
“No, you idiot” said the Demoman, “Saxton Hale.”
“Who is idiot now?” said Heavy Weapons Guy, laughing to himself. “Hale is working for us.”
“Yeah…” said the **Sniper **uneasily. “I guess you’re right.”
There was a moment of silence, as everyone stopped to gather their thoughts. That silence was broken, however, by the sound of a grenade scattering across the floor.
“Grenade!” yelled Saitsu, who looked down at his belt, noticing it was one of his own. The grenade had wiggled loose, the pin still snugly attached to his bandoleer.
“Ach! Just throw it out the door, quick!” said the Medic to the Solider.
“No, I will protect us all!” said Saitsu, diving onto the grenade and covering it with his body.
“Seriously” said the Medic, “Just throw it out the door.”
“There’s no time!” said Saitsu, “Everyone clear away! Now!”
Everybody watched in astonishment. What seemed like a minute passed.
“Saitsu… just throw it out the door. I think we’re safe” said the Demoman. “Seriously…”
“No, like I said, there’s no time… I must protect us!”
And after another 30 seconds, the grenade finally exploded. Everyone shielded their eyes from the blast. The Red Engineer near him was blasted with his blood at guts, and he quickly headed out of the door stifiling vomit and calling out for a shower.
Everyone looked at his body, and sighed.
Except for Saxton Hale, who smiled, readjusting the strap on his paper mask. One more down, he thought.
“Weird”, thought the Soldier. I would have thought death would hurt more? He looked around, and saw a bunch of smiling faces looking at him. People he hadn’t seen since his first tour of Duty. “Joey, is that you?” said the Soldier? A small boy looked up and him and smiled.
“Yes, Daddy, it’s me. I’ve been waiting for you.” The Soldier smiled, a single tear rolling down his cheek.
“Oh, Son… I’ve never forgiven myself for what happened.” The boy walked up, smiling, and reached his hand out to his Father. The Soldier, overcome with emotion, reached out to embracing his son… and was yanked back to reality amidst a flash of red light.
Sobbing uncontrollably, Saitsu lied in the fetal position on the floor. The Administrator gave him a glance, before rolling her eyes.
Within minutes, the image of his son had left his mind completely, and he was back to his stoic self.
It is now Night time!
Night actions are due at 9:00 PM PST
Fucccckkkkk. I overslept. :mad:
Sorry guys I overslept too. I tried to get that vote in through the foggy haze of a caffineless panic, but I see that it did not work.
Neesa, you know we dead, right? 
You’re damn right! You were on top of my list even before this. Better hope you can find some more info in the thread to give us a better target than you, or you’re almost certainly next.
Hey, I at least tried to vote. And I nearly killed myself tripping over my chair half-asleep to get to the computer to do so. Lynch Neesa, not me. 
Not very convincing, to be honest. Do the posts and voting trends in the past day give you any hints about who might be mafia? If you’re civ, give us insight and help us win. If not… make peace with your maker.
Saitsu’s last gasp
Yeah. Ha. What I get for swiping my alarm one too many times. Nevertheless, way to throw me under the bus, jerk. In the last game, I never missed a vote so, I legit feel bad. I’m trying to work out something in notepad now and post it and finish anything off if I don’t get too distracted at work.
Oh by the way, you guys can grill/interrogate me all you want. I don’t know how or with what evidence I can use to maintain my innocence, but I’ll come up clean anyway.
I just can’t make heads or tails of this game so far. But, Saitsu’s last gasp is beginning to make sense to me as I go back through the thread… Right now, I have three distinct thoughts in my head and once we see what happens during night phase, it may clarify things more for me. Just remember that last gasp. :tup:
