They were so pleased with their last experiment. It went well, confirming their hope that humanity could be saved. Plus, the elders were very pleased.
So it was decided they should go ahead, right away, and do it again. And this time, with the interstellar link feeding the view live to their entire planet.
They came in the broad daylight, and snatched them up, one by one.
Archetype, Captain_Frisk, Eevee, Galzria, Insomniac, Jimmmmm, Robz888, and shraeye are reeling from the pain of the transporter device, and something else. They look around the round room, the bright ceiling with its unusual light. They sit around the large wooden table in the middle. One by one they see the noose, hanging coldly from the ceiling.
Greetings, humans. Three of you are Mafia Goons, three of you are Vanilla Townies. Insomniac and Galzria are Innocent Children. You have about 24 hours to make your first decision--find the evil, save the good. Do that, and save your own lives. The ceiling stays on until this exercise ends. Good luck.
The group look around at each other. The backs of their heads tingle, but they cannot place anyone's face. There's an odd sense of familiarity, but no one can remember details from before they were taken. They don't remember before. They don't know who anyone is.
Day 1 has begun.
With 8 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.
Day 1 ends Tuesday, November 16 at 6:00 p.m. forum time.
