Day 04

[shimmershimmer]

[Good morning! For some of you, anyway. Probably. Here come the Shimmering Lady's announcements:]

The Hamadas, who were Soulmates and Demons, have disappeared from the village, and the three sleeping demons were fatally strangled at some point during the night.

The responsibility for these events lies solely on the Night Watch's shoulders. I don't like to be so harsh, but Night Watch is a very serious duty and one with no room for negligence. Therefore, as punishment for last night's irresponsibility, Ling Yao, an ordinary villager, has been sent to the barn.

In addition, Simon Blackquill, a Sinner, has been lost to dreams.

((Status & Roles
Updated Night Watch Roster - those without partners have been combined. Tonight's NW will be Lust and Badou.))

Those papers sure look important.

[genuine_human]

On the contrary, boy. [He stops, looking over at Eliot with eyes full of mad joy.]

My mind has never been clearer in the longest time. And those papers crumbling into ash?

[He points back and his chest broadens, almost with pride.]

Those contain the information of the monsters lurking outside this village. As I said yesterday, General Mustang can vouch for me.

[backdrafted]

. . .

That is true.

Why are you burning them now?

[genuine_human]

Simply put, General, you won't be needing them anymore. None of you will be needing them.

[backdrafted]

Care to explain why?

[thepawfectcrime]

Oh, whatever he says, prrrrobably the exact opposite is true.

[ASK ME IF I AM REMOTELY INTERESTED IN SEEING YOUR FACE RIGHT NOW]

[genuine_human]

And ruin the fun, now?

[He folds his hands behind his back and turns around, walking toward the bonfire. His head turns up and he smiles up at the smoke flying into the air.]

Have a sense of drama. This show is just starting. Take a seat like those two over there. By the end of the day, everything will be made clear. Or not. I would not know, I hardly care.

[skyentificmethod]

Um... What [please don't be 'who' please don't be 'who'] else is supposed to go on this bonfire by then?

[genuine_human]

If you'd like to take a leap, fraulein, then be my guest.

[He stifles a hideous chuckle.]

Joking aside, I'd rather keep quiet about that for now. The true festivities have yet to begin.

[backdrafted]

. . .

[nope too upset for this. gonna leave the scene.]

[genuine_human]

See you at court today, General.

[He gives a backhanded wave.]
