Mafia Game XXXII: Egypt's Sleepers

Well, I hate to start the voting but I am not sure how much internet time I will over the next few, I am reservedly voting for Corin simply because there has to be at least one experienced mafia player on the Mafia's side and I know it is not me.
 
Well it's not me! It might be you for all we know, trying to draw attention away from yourself! For that reason, I am casting my vote for Lava. (If evidence appears to the contrary, I shall change my vote).
 
I don't want either to hang either of you, but to break the tie, I'll go with Corin for now. Unless we can all decide to vote for some third party....

I'll have to go for the majority vote with Corin. Terribly sorry, I'm rather unstable seeing as SOMEONE JUST MURDERED MY SISTER! *Starts bawling*

It is very Tolkien to be a tree. Do you not deeply appreciate the beauty of who you are?

I couldn't have said it better. I can see her in Fangorn, glaring at orcs.

I'm voting for Corin, unless someone has a better idea.

Corin: ~Lava~
Lossëndil: Corin
Rainshadow: Corin

But the shadows always followed me and I was forced to draw them away from where I had hidden my treasure. And now, now I am dying. Ye gods, I am afraid. I have instructed neither boat to be buried with me nor any item that might convey me to a dread doom. I have sent a nephew (an unlearned boy lest he be tempted to claim what is mine) to retrieve the book that it might be placed in my grave. For I reason, if I should read it my wisdom might be so increased that I should have no fear of the scales, or that I might return it and so appease the wrath of the gods and purify my soul.

So I call to the desert sands to make swift his laggard feet.

**********************************************************************

The gray light revealed a dismal room with windows no mortal could reach. The doors were impregnable and a crumbling stairway led to empty dark rooms. These simply enlarged the prison, but did not yield a route of escape. They explored and tested all ideas without success.
"It's no use," Lossy said, quietly sitting on a broken couch in the foyer they had entered last night. Defeated, they all agreed. Cobwebs ornamented their hair and clothes, and their hands and arms were scratched.

The group abandoned all hope of escape. They now sat still, and most were quietly reading or trying to read the books Glen had lent them.

Lava was reading Sherlock Holmes and Corin, The Aeneid. BarbarianKing however, gazed emptily at the place where Eustace had lain. The body had been carried to one of the empty rooms, and Rainshadow was currently sitting beside her sister weeping. BarbarianKing yanked open a bedraggled backpack and pulled from it an energy bar. Minutes turned into hours, and the sun filled the room with reddening light. And then...when deep purple shadows were beginning to fill corners of the room....

Lava shook Glen who nudged MissReep. MissReep jolted awake, her book slipping from her grasp. Everyone was staring. Rainshadow was walking down the stairs, her hand on the rickety banister. Red light poured on her from the windows above. But it was not a beautiful picture. Dark circles were under her wild eyes and all her tears had dried to vengeance. In her hand she clenched the dagger of last night.
"Why are you sitting doing nothing?" she asked harshly. "Are you content let my sister lie unavenged?" "Ha," she laughed mirthlessly. "Let us sit here and read until they kill us."

Lava snapped her book shut. "What would you have us do?" she fired back.

"Kill first!" Rainshadow cried, raising the weapon that had ended her sister.


"But who?" Corin asked exasperatedly.

"You."

Corin gazed sternly at her. “We grieve with you, but accusing without proof will not help us,” he said.

"Rainshadow, you need to calm yourself," Lossy said, quietly trying to draw the girl to the couch.

Rainshadow shook her off and grabbed Corin's arm. “Murderer,” she shrieked, wresting The Aeneid from his grasp. “The descent into hell is easy.” She tore the book open, revealing that on a crunched page, dry bloodstains blotted the page. Triumphantly she flung the book on the floor. "The blood of my sister, MY SISTER, burns him!"

“Wait! That was my blood! I cut my hand on the helicopter,” Corin defended himself, holding up his hand displaying an injury to their suspicious gazes. A thin red cut ran along his palm.

“I don’t remember you doing that aboard,” said Lava slowly. “I sat next to you.”

“It is true,” BarbarianKing said looking at Lava.

"You never mentioned it before," Glen said sternly.

“I am innocent,” Corin pleaded, running his tongue along his dry lips nervously.

Most the group averted their eyes awkwardly, avoiding looking at him. Rainshadow’s bloodshot eyes were fierce with victory. In one movement she leapt on him with her weapon, but he deflected the blow and wrenched her hand causing the dagger to fall from her grasp.
“Let me rage before I die,” he quoted, his eyes kindling with fury. “You shall die first, for I shall not go quietly to please an insane girl.”

Undeterred she reached for his throat while her own voice pierced the room with a curdling scream of hatred. He struggled gathering his strength to toss her off and then unexpectedly he went limp.

Rainshadow stepped back astonished. Lossy was standing quietly behind Corin. The dagger was imbedded in his back, and he hit the grimy floor with a reverberating thud.

Minutes fled unnoticed. Then, “We’ll take him to one of the rooms upstairs,” Loverble directed grabbing the legs.

“How many empty rooms will be filled before the end?” MissReep questioned, reaching to help lift the burden.

It is now NIGHT. You have 96 hours to PM me.

I'll have you know that right now I'm 1)gasping, 2)smiling, 3)wide-eyed, 4)crying, 5)laughing, and 6)choking up with how you wrote Corin's death scene. I'm shocked at how brutal I can be! :eek: But then again, someone killed my sister, so... I guess it makes sense... in a scary way. :p
 
And, since I was doomed to die, just the kind of death scene I was hoping for too! Well done, Elsesta!

Time to explore my new existence as a ghost! (Makes note to spend a generous amount of time haunting those I consider responsible for my murder).
 
Rainy! :eek: I had no idea you were so violent! On the other hand, welcome to the Neitherworld, CORIN THUNDERFIST II! We're very happy to have you.
 
My semester is ending, so I should probably be marked "on vacation" for the rest of the game. I don't have Internet at home, so I'll be on pretty sporadically.
