Despair hangs over the Rukongai as disappearances have become too numerous to ignore. Clues from the disappearances have all pointed to the same thing: Werehollow, a terrifying group of bipedal wolf based Hollow that hunt in packs and can shapeshift into normal looking people. Frightened, the Rukon Citizens must band together to find the Werehollow among them before they're slaughtered one by one. But fear not Rukon Citizens because there are Shinigami hidden among you!

---

There are two sets of rules governing the Day and Night Phases of the game. Werehollow shall attack in the night and Rukon Citizens shall lynch one of their own in the day. Each phase lasts for 24 hours or until everybody has voted.

Werehollow Goal - Pretend to be a Rukon Citizen and dwindle the population down to equal numbers or less. Meaning, 2 Werehollow and 2 Rukon Citizens (or one Rukon Citizen and a Shinigami) or 1 (or 2) Werehollow and 1 Rukon Citizen/Shinigami.

Rukon Citizen Goal - Lynch the Werehollow!

Day Phase:

- This is the time to communicate with each other and discuss strategy.
- There are no rules about in thread conversation - tell the truth, fib, or down right lie.
- Pro Tip: Don't reveal your role.
- During this time, I will ask everybody to vote (in this thread) about who to lynch.
- Majority rules - so lynchee, you better plead. In case of a tie: I'll let a random generator pick.
- Once you're lynched, you're out of the game and your role is revealed. And we thus move into the Night Phase of our game.

Night Phase:

- Everybody must halt all discussion of the game - you're asleep.
- The Werehollow, Taichou, Fukutaichou, Third Seat, and Rukon Rebel will perform their roles.
- The Taichou will request to see the role of one person via a PM to me.
- The Fukutaichou will guard one person via PM.
- The Third Seat will follow someone.
- The Rukon Rebel can attack someone.
- Werehollow will know each other and won't be able to kill each other.
- Werehollow will unanimously pick an individual to slaughter via PM and then tell me who that person is. If there is no unanimous pick, random number generator shall decide.
- I will announce the morning and who was killed. The role will be revealed.

- And Dead Men Tell No Tales. So no IC chat if you are dead.

[Roles]

Good:

Rukon Citizen - The boring but practical normal. You get to vote during the day phase, and sleep at night. Hope you don't die.

Taichou - The ace in the hole for the Rukon Citizens. At night, can divine one person to see their role. You best be secretive though, as the werehollow want your blood first and foremost to protect their identities!

Fukutaichou - The protector of the Rukongai. Can protect one person at night, and that person cannot be killed by the werehollow that same night. The Fukutaichou CANNOT protect themselves. You must protect others.

Third Seat - The, for lack of a better word, stalker of the village. Can pick one person at night to watch. Should this person be attacked, they will learn the identity of one of the werehollow.

Neutral:

Rukon Rebel - Someone who came to the village under the guise of night and heard of the curse affecting it. Has a 25% chance to kill someone at night, and can either hinder the werehollow... or help them. You don't have to publicly announce your good or evil intentions, but a PM to me shall add flavor to the game of your intentions. Should the Rukon Rebel make a successful kill, they cannot kill anyone in the next round, so as to not attract any unwanted attention.

Evil:

Werehollow - You are a part of a terrifying group of bipedal wolf based Hollow that hunt in packs and can shapeshift into normal looking people during the day. Werewolves CAN vote for other werewolves in the day phase to protect themselves should the need arise.

Day Phase

As the night fled before the sun, doors all-throughout the Rukongai opened, letting the newly awakened souls stretch under it's warm radiance. The chills of the night fled them, and so did the citizens begin their daily business - or they would, if not for a scream piercing the still morning.

The people quickly swarmed to the sound of the shriek, and a gasp ran through the crowd - before them, a gory mess of a former man lay puddled at the feet of the oldest, tallest tree in the village, with 'Ol' Lynchy' smeared on the trunk in red liquid. Somebody began to speculate the victim had done this, but that was quickly discounted when his arms were found some several feet away.

It was swiftly decided that the victim was none other than CAIN, which caused no small amount of murmuring through the ranks, as he had only just yesterday been considered for a lynching - after all, he could well have been the monster that would do such a thing! Alas, the dead often didn't make good lynching victims, and so the people came in for a discussion - they knew what the signs meant, and so it was time to decide who among them would dance in the air.

Really? No one is going to post first? Fine I'll go. Since the typical fall guy is already dead, we can't say it was Cain. Unless of course it was a suicide.. He was a dog, I'd imagine those fleas would be terrible..... But no, no that couldn't be the case as he's been torn from limb to limb.

As such, I'm going to vote for Nod, because he's the one who's usually behind such things.

Aye, that rascally short fellow was always jealous of Cain's...Cain-ness. I say it was Nod!

Bandwagon~ I vote for Nod

I say it was Haru. >_> We all know he's always trying to plot stuff and using his cuteness as a cover. <_<

Of course a WereHollow would try to blend into the crowd and not draw attention to herself; point the finger at some innocent...isn't that right, AZ?

I always vote for Mal. I don't feel I need any other justification than that.

Though the crowd seemed by and large confused and/or silent, a consensus was reached, and dutifully was Nod hefted up and carried to the mess that was Ol' Lynchy - it winds up, he'd been selected as Lynchee-backup, in case anything happened to Cain before he could be lynched. As a professional fall-guy, Nod happened to not have any strong feelings on the matter.

When the deed was said and done, the spectators waited with bated breath.... and received nothing. Nod was a Rukon Citizen, by all accounts. Sighing in defeat - after all, with their two usual suspects-without-reason gone, who else could they blame? - the townspeople all turned for their homes; surely the werehollow would come and finish what they'd started, in the case of the mess formerly known as Cain.

And thus began the NIGHT PHASE.

[[If you have a night role, you have 24 hours to get your actions in. Gogogogo!]]

To the villagers of the Rukon, the night was silent and calm - to those in the know, however, madness was the order of things.

Hidden deep in his hut, Zanpakuto stabbed into the table before him, the Taicho stared deeply into the blade, watching his Zanpakuto display nothing but static - he sighed in distress, shaking his head, having failed to divine any new information. Suddenly, a rasping came at his door, and the Taicho let loose a gasp, leaping to his feet and drawing his weapon - the information would have done him no good, as the Hollow had come for him.

He yelled a word of power, a Kido of fire blasting from his palm toward the door, exploding into it and causing a wave of flames to brighten the night outside his door... as two Hollow burst through the window at his side, the bulk of their bodies driving him to the ground. One bite cam at his wrist, another at his shoulder, and the Taicho cried out, knowing he'd been had.

A singed and blackened Hollow strode through the door, grinning a wicked grin behind it's mask as it approached the downed Taicho. The three of them howled laughter before the final Hollow fell upon the woozy Taicho.

Elsewhere, two other bodies stumbled into one another in the darkness, entering into a heated argument - the Guardian and Fukutaicho achieved nothing this night, as their query was not attacked.

Finally, a young man thought nothing of the dangers of having his bedroom window open whilst he played when he should have slept, dancing about his room with hands held high above his head - in his head, a stuffed teddy bear, hand towel tied about it's neck, creating the image of a super-teddy. Haru and his Super-Teddy were utterly unprepared, then, when a dark figure leaped through the window, black knife bared as the body sprung off the bed and toward the stuffed bear.

Haru shrieked as the bear was taken from his grasp, the Rebel's knife easily splitting cloth fur and causing the soft fluffy innards to go pouring out. Haru wept as his defender was so easily defeated - there was no possible way to prevent the Rebel taking his life next.

The next morning, Mal's body was found outside his hut, propped against the closed door with head and right arm missing; Haru's house had to be actively searched before his body was found, clutching his poor murdered superbear. Tragedy had struck the Rukon twice that night, and now it was time for somebody to pay... with their neck!

So begins the DAY PHASE! Vote! 24 hours, give or take! GO!

Dead List

Mal - Taicho

Haru - Rukon Citizen

Action Results - Night 1

Taicho's spying failed

Rebel cannot attack the next night

Fukutaicho learned nothing

Guardian did nothing

Welp, my suspect is dead. Sorry, Haru! I wont accuse you again... this game! Let's see... I'mma go out on a limb here and hope I keep all of my own and say that it was... Chakaara! In a battle to become the tallest person on AK with no competition in sight, she killed off Mal. If his brother was playing, he'd be next.

How... how can you accuse me? We're one and the same! I'm the other you, the Mr. Hyde to your Dr. Jekyll!

If I have to go, I'm taking you with me! I vote for Ki.

I vote for Katsu!

I vote for Aki!, Ki would never lead us on the wrong path! Right? ......Right?

Eye for an Eye! Azzy is the culprit, for she is a fiendish foxxy!

A coin flip told me to vote for Az.

And the people did banter, argue and curse as the tides of voting turned, fingers pointing this way and that before settling on two people: Aki and Az, the two names closest to the beginning of the alphabet - therefore, the most liable to be the culprit. The people raged and argued! "It must be Aki! She is closest to 'A'!" "That's exactly what Az wants us to think!"

On and on they went, until finally, a die was put forth. Az was declared evens, Aki odds, for the number of letters in their name - obviously the first clue of Hollowification! Thus was the die cast between the two... to reveal a six!

The hollering tide turned on Aki, but had to be reminded that six was an even number, not an odd, and resumed turning on Az instead! Oh how the would be ruler of the Rukon struggled, but alas, this bread-hungry crowd would not suffer her cake!

As Az was hung, the crowd waited in anticipation... and received no gratification. Az was a Rukon Citizen!

The people grumbled and groused, as the sun was setting; next time, they swore! Next time!

And thus begins the NIGHT PHASE!

If you have a night role, you have 24 hours give-or-take to send it in. Gooooooo!

Dead-count:

Mal - Taicho

Haru - Rukon Citizen
