It's over. There was another death last night.
Ellie died.
There wasn't a meeting so much as a trial.
Ian: Alright. So, there are just four of us left. nathaniel, Isaac, Emily and I. We're all still agreed that Emily is The Dying Man?
Nathaniel nodded.
Emily: This is insane. I told you to stay in the same room. If you had no one would have died.
Nathaniel: We did.
Emily: You... Wait what?
Ian: Emily. You're really more of an idiot than I thought.
Emily: I don't understand.
Nathaniel: exactly.
Ian: Tell me Emily. What does The Dying Man do?
Emily: He's a body jumper with a simple touch he can pass from one body to another, everyone knows that.
Nathaniel: Does The Dying Man always die when it switches hosts?
Emily: Well no... Some shards of The Dying Man have been known to possess multiple bodies at once.
Ian: And? You're a smart girl... Figure it out.
Emily: Y... You're both The Dying Man?
Nathaniel: Yes, well done.
Emily: You cheated! You said you only infected one person at the beginning.
Ian: That is true. I infected Ian at the very beginning. Killed Michael the first night and then began infecting everyone every night since.
Nathaniel: First Nathaniel.
Isaac: Then Isaac. I kept him quiet though because he hadn't spoken up until then and figured him suddenly talking would be suspicious.
Ian: I had also infected Heather early on, but the Puppet killed that one.
Emily: Why kill Ellie then? Why not just infect her? Hell why not infect Nina and Tanya instead of killing them.
Isaac: Well, infecting the Puppet would have been useless. I'd have to fight The Wooden Girl's control and that would easily give me away. I wanted to keep what I was doing hidden until the very end. I had also made myself a few rules. Only infect one person a night and I can infect or kill, but not both. Also in the event my first infected is killed I would kill off the rest to make it fair. As for why I killed Ellie instead of Infecting her...
Nathaniel: I did that just to mess with you.
Emily: You're sick.
Ian: I'm a monster what can I say. Now then the game is over. You lose.
I was infected then. Tried to fight. Obviously I failed. You can't really fight something like that. This game wasn't quite what I was hoping it to be, but I have learned from my mistakes. I will start a new game in the future and this time it will be much better. More well thought out rules and hmm... I guess I promise not to cheat next time and inform them of all the rules in the first place. It's no fun winning a game like this. Yes, next time will be better.
I hope you are all looking forward to it.
The Dying Man
Rather disappointing. You are right, winning a game like that is no fun.
ReplyDeleteBut it was a good experiment and it gave us valuable information.
I am still looking forward to your next attempt. Good luck with that!
And now it is time for me to write my report.
