Abstain|Jackie

[Music rings out from Vincent and his guitar.]

It catches everyone's ear just as the discussion ends. At some point, Vincent had switched his song to be a little more on-the-nose. It seems like he's having a little bit of fun with the others.

Vincent dulcetly sings with his folksy, velvet voice. It's easy to see why he loves what he does. Someone has to remind Gloria that she has to do the magical reveal thing now. Gloria pouts, wishing she could enjoy more tunes. She walks over to Vincent with her hands politely folded.

"Well, my very very dear nephew Vincent, greatest nephew in all the land by far, seems like maybe I was off the mark with you, huh? I thought it would be really nice to see you again and it was! I really enjoyed listening to ya this weekend! But also maybe you murdered me, so that isn't right for a nephew to do to his favorite aunt. Regardless, you're still free to take my money because I think you basically still deserve it even if you have done a few bad things. What can I say, you're a star!"

Vincent thanks Gloria quietly for her comments. At the end of his song, he waits for applause, but realistically Gloria is one of the only people clapping. The others, growing frustrated at how long she's taking push her on.

"Darlings! You cannot rush greatness! Please and thank you! Didn't I teach any of you anything?" Gloria huffs, a little bothered. She raises her hands and the magic circle appears around Vincent.

Lucine smiles from behind her plum tea. Everyone else in the room is frozen with their eyes wide. They don't want to miss this result. The duel between witches and mortals is close, but it all ends here if Vincent fooled them!

The circle spins around Vincent, darkness fills the room, and even though there is no rain outside, the air is filled with a crack of lightning.

[SCENE MUSIC]

Lightning cracks out, burning into their retinas. The room flickers with all kinds of lights. Most people have to keep their eyes closed.

The spotlight that appears only has room for one person it's a man with wide brimmed cowboy hat hanging over his eyes. The man's glossy black leather jacket reminds everyone of Vincent's brown leather jacket. When he removes the hat though, it's not Vincent: it's Bertram. Bertram gives the others, including Bertram himself, a wicked smirk.

He takes a swig from a flask he has on his waist, and suddenly his face changes to Mickey's. He drinks again and his face returns to Vincent Moonview's. He greets everyone with his velvety singer voice.

Shaking the room is the truth behind Vincent's role:

"Vincent was the Actor. He knew a thing or two about showmanship.

Each twilight, Vincent could choose one other person to disguise as freely. Then, he could visit one other player in disguise. Observers would assume that his visits were made by the person he disguised as. He was fifth in line for the killing power of the witches.

He was and is sided with the witches.
"


Gloria gasps and feigns fainting in disbelief.

For the mortals, though, this means they have a chance. It's not over yet! Three more to go!

Basil's hand nearly slipped on the table he was so tense and sweaty but he sighed with relief at the results.

"Fortunately sometimes things are as simple as they seem. Well any explanation for yourself? I wouldn't expect you kids to get any of that money by the way. Once the authorities find out you had a hand in Mums murder your share of the money will be forfeit."

Basil grinned viciously clearly glad things weren't over yet.

Twilip lets out a sigh of relief with the reveal that Vincent is a witch. "All right we got one more of you bastards. Perhaps you'll be more willing to work with me Vincent. Asher Moonview died on the second twilight of arc 1 and could not come back to life until the beginning of the next arc. Is that right or do you plead the fifth?"

"Well done!" Lucine said, putting her teacup down to clap. One of the four black butterflie flying around her seemed to lose a bit of its odd glow, and came to a resting position on top of her head. "... Though, sadly, it seems you have uncovered yet another dead end. Uncle's role is exactly what you uncovered."

Her smile got a little wider. "Are you ready to give up? I assure I am not angry. The Golden Land will always accept you, no matter how many misguided attempts to escape you make. Don't you want to end this farce painlessly?"

"So, the person we usually lynched immediately near the beginning of an arc was a witch the whole time. Go figure," Asher bitterly stated, coldly glaring at Vincent.

"I'd usually ask for an explanation as to why you did what you did, but... honestly, I'm not interested. It probably just has to do with the family -- particularly Uncle Maurice -- being assholes to you for following your dream."

With that being said, Asher turned away from Vincent and tapped his fingers on the table, deep in thought.

Uncle Billy sighed, a little embarrassed that he'd retracted his vote.

"I admit, I is a little surprised you would do this, Vinny," he said, "You seem like care about family a lot, and you're really good at guitar too. Why give that up for life of witchery and crime?"

"Also that trick you do with face is pretty cool. Is there any chance you do Auntie Frank impression?"

Vincent said nothing after he was revealed to be a witch. Instead, he started playing a song that he wrote himself, Shattered Dreams. The way he played the song sounds like he's really angry. After he finished the song, the musician clears his throat.

"It is as you guys suspected.... I am indeed a witch." Vincent said as he strung a few strings on his guitar. "Let me tell you the truth about why I became a witch in the first place."

"I was contacted by the Witches while I was looking for inspiration for my next album. At first, I didn't want to help out as the plan involves killing. But once they promised me that I'll get a large chunk of the Moonview family fortune... I agreed to help them out with the plan." He explains as he ran a hand through his hair. "The reason for why I helped the Witches out.... was because of a grudge that I held towards a certain someone for 22 years."

The musician points an finger at Maurice.

"I'll never forgive that bastard because he insulted my dream of being a musician! He doesn't understand that I was musically gifted! I don't care about what the rest of you guys think about my career as a musician!" Vincent growls, as he narrow his eyes at Maurice.

"Now then... If you guys wanted to find the rest of the witches... I'm afraid you guys are on your own, as I won't share my actions. Good luck catching the rest of the witches!" The musician said as he sit down and play his guitar.

Zachary's body nearly collapsed with relief as the explanation of Vincent's power came to a close. He kissed Robin's cheek and stumbled over to the table, where he took some more fruit. He leaned against the table for support as he ate.

"So . . . Oh, jeez, my head . . . " Zachary began, being interrupted by a sharp pain, rubbing his temple to try to relieve it, "Agh . . . Um, so Robin delayed Vincent A2T1, and he was lynched immediately, so that's the one arc where he couldn't do visit shenanigans. But . . . of course, it's also the arc where Lucine was alive the whole time and we wouldn't have noticed witch kill visits even if we wanted to. Well, at least we can be more sure that any visits we did see weren't faked, though I think they're all accounted for anyway."

Asher half-heartedly glanced over his shoulder and rolled his eyes at Vincent’s explanation, letting out an annoyed groan.

“So to get this straight, Uncle Maurice insulted your dreams because he’s an asshole, so what do you do 22 years later, well past the date of the argument? Why, kill him and the rest of the family, of course! Perfect course of action!” he exclaimed, sarcastically clapping his hands.

“You know, I would fully encourage you to follow your dreams and not give a damn about what the family says, but whatever. Oh, and the fact that you agreed to killing us all once money was involved makes you no better than the rest of the family. Hope you’re well aware of that. So you can shove that guitar right up you know where.”

With that said, Asher turned back around, flipped the bird at Vincent, and completely tuned him out.

James couldn't stop himself from laughing,"But you would've gotten a large chunk of the money anyway and you don't need to be a witch to kill Maurice. Why didn't you just poison him or something?"

"Even though you never got to use the power of the witches as your own, you were still sided with them." Allister said. "For that, I cannot forgive you."

Twilip looks as though she trying to hold in her own laughter. "My lord... That's incredible. When did any of that even happen?" She breaks and begins an uncontrollable laughter for some time.

Basil's jaw dropped at Vincent's explanation. He shook his head and gave Maurice a dirty look "I always told you, you were a little asshole back then." He sighed taking a seat and rubbing his temples in contemplation of the madness that led to this.

Briggs was also laughing, unable to hold it in.

"...This family is horrible!"

He clapped his hands mockingly at Vincent continued to play music. "Encore! Encore!"

"That's correct, Twilip. He was already dead and could not come back to life. As for what I did that twilight.... I simply disguised as Lucine and went to visit Mickey. I thought that nobody would even see me disguised as Lucine... But alas... Basil was the unlucky victim who chose to track Lucine that twilight. So, he got deceived by that..." Vincent chuckles before he takes a swig of his flask. His face morphs into Basil's face.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Basil Moonview and I could not believe that I got deceived by one of my own cousin Vinny's tricks! I should be ashamed of myself!" 'Basil' said mockingly before he take another swig from the flask. Basil's face morphs back to Vincent's own face.

"Yeah... I didn't realized that I deceived Basil until he told us about what he did in the story, the nightmare and what happened recently.... It amuses me, really." He said as he strum and plucks away at his guitar.

He looks towards Billy. "Uh, no. I have no idea what your Auntie Frankie look like so I can't pull that off." Vincent simply said, an eyebrow raised.

Basil rolled his eyes at the mockery of himself on display. "You should stick to music instead of comedy Vincent. You'll have plenty of time to jam with the devil in hell." He sighed going back to his pondering.

Basil cleared his throat and threw a hand over his immaculate hair to compose himself as he straightened up.

Aside from the overblown theatrics, it very much felt like the boardroom where he was very much at home and there was something comforting about the familiar feeling.

"Well then if Vincent is quite finished, he can go sit at the side with the other conspirators and we can move onto another issue."

Basil brushed his suit down and looked around the others "I'd like to raise a new proposal. I know it's not perfect but I want to explore it."

"Now we know that Lucine is the GW and that she cannot target herself directly, it's clear that in all cases she would need help in order to kill herself and thus appear innocent to us."

He waggled a finger accusingly at Mickey "In the nightmare, the night of her death Mickey went to visit her specifically. Despite being a so-called doctor, he failed to save her life through strange unknown means."

Assuming that Mickey was hurling him dirty looks, Basil turned to the other family members "We might not know all the elements here or the practice behind it but there's unknown elements to Mickey's role that might indicate he is a killer."

"Bruh, there's a lotta shit we don't know about anyone. I can't say anything except what I've said. I didn't fail to save her through 'strange unknown means'.", He imitated some butchered version of Basil's voice with that last phrase, "I've explained this shit over and over."

Basil checked his nails "Yes well, given that it's clear several people are lying to us, I'd expect you to be open to a little re-examination and scrutiny." He extended a hand towards Mickey.

"So how about once more...for the record? Clear any doubts."

Maurice seemed quite expressionless as Vincent got exposed. He quietly listened to his explanation of his motives, though he seemed to be lost in thought as well. Something was clearly bothering him during all of this. After he finished however, his eyes widened in realisation. And then...

He started laughing. He burst into laughter out of nowhere, leaning back in his chair. Was he losing it or something?

"Of course! Of course!" He shouted. "So that's what you were talking about all along!" He seemed to be having a "Eureka!" moment, albeit one that had hit him like a police wagon. "All this time, I was so confused by your demeanour to me... But now I remember! I finally remember!" He snorted loudly, unable to suppress his amusement. "It was so long ago now that I'd completely discarded it from my mind... I was but a lad at the time, of fifteen years old", he recounted. "And... you were living in this very house, pretending to be a musician. Your playing was abysmal even then, to tell you the truth. And when I told you off for it... you left!" He gave a snicker. "Only you would be so sour at a teenager pointing out your failure at your own craft, let alone enough to vacate the house!"

He shook his head, wiping the tears off his eyes. "So here you were, holding a grudge for something so minor, so utterly forgettable that even I couldn't have cared less about it. And then you get so into this that you decide to just join a plot to murder your entire family along with some witches! I would be furious at this revelation normally. After all, being so sensitive to the truth that you help take out their entire bloodline? You're acting even more immaturely than a teenager would even. But to be honest, this is absolutely hilarious!" He started chuckling again. "You were so utterly trash at your role that you gave yourself away so early, and didn't even come up with any reasonable explanation once we found you out! Not only that, but thanks to how low-ranking you were, you weren't able to kill anybody. In fact, you hardly did anything of use to the witches at all. So tell me, how can I be so mad at you for what you've done... When you haven't even done anything? Hahahaha!" He started to cackle at this point, almost to a concerning degree. "I'd call you quite the jester, but frankly, you are the entire courtroom! Bravo, sir, bravo!"

He gave a snide little clap in his direction. Despite everything, he seemed quite on top of the world. Good for him, I guess.

After a few minutes, he seemed to have regained his composure a bit. "Right, well, I suppose the circus has come to an end, hasn't it? Well then, let's get back to business. Sadly, this reveal hasn't been very helpful for us in terms of gathering intel on the other witches. So far, I still stand by what I said earlier. When it comes to Allister and Archer, I believe the former is far more likely to be a witch. Archer has been quite useful to us and even prevented Twilip's death in the third cycle, whereas Allister's role not only doesn't seem too useful, it would mean him getting lynched would be the easiest way to kill him rather than using James or Asher to get him."

"Additionally..." He paused. "I note that the dining table arrangement that occurred in the fourth twilight of the final cycle had to be arranged by at least one witch. Obviously one of them is Allister or Archer, but what about the other? Twilip obviously wasn't one of them, and I claim to not be one of them. Additionally, I do not believe Briggs to be a witch due to how strangely helpful he has been with us overall, not to mention that his swap could have gone far far worse for us... It is strange that Lucine decided to exonerate him earlier, but perhaps she was simply playing things safe." He shook his head. "Anyway, if we eliminate these three, then I believe the other witch must have also been alive in the final group as well. I do not believe it to be likely that both Archer and Allister are witches, so... that leaves Asher and Wyn as our other two suspects in our eyes. So if Asher is telling the truth, then I believe Wyn has to be a witch." He concluded. "This is a hard sell of course, but if Asher is a mortal or even a witch-aligned mortal it seems like the only reasonable explanation."

"...Of course, I understand it may be difficult for some of you to simply eliminate me as a suspect. However, I'd like to note that everything about my role has been confirmed and has added up with what I have told you. If Basil had simply watched me earlier this would be much easier to corroborate, but..." He shook his head. "It is what it is. For now, Allister is still my primary vote, I'm afraid."

Robin glowers at Vincent but doesn't say a word to him. Everything she could say, someone else already has.

Instead, she focuses on the matter at hand: who are the remaining witches? And how did Lucine die in the first and third time-loops?

"I have a thought," she says, after mulling it over for some time while the others discuss. "I believe that Asher could use his first power on someone else - fake someone else's death. The problem is, I don't believe he's ever done that. At least, not to Lucine.

"In the first time-loop, Asher died on the second night, and Lucine on the third. Now, if Asher was truly dead, then he would not have had the ability to use his power to fake Lucine's death - and if he was alive, his power would no longer work that way. If he had targeted Lucine on the third night, having successfully faked his death, he would have killed her.

"Meanwhile, he faked his death in the third time-loop. This was proven by him coming back to life later on. His fake death occurred on the first night - the same night Lucine died.

"We already know that Twilip has never copied Asher's power onto Lucine - because Twilip has never said she did, and she's neither a witch nor a witch ally, so she has no reason to lie. Unless Billy or Briggs were somehow involved, I simply cannot see any way that Lucine could have survived - and both Billy and Briggs were dead on the first night of the first time-loop, and we run into the same problem; if either one was actually alive on the third twilight due to Asher's power and then tried to use Asher's power on Lucine somehow, it should have killed her, not saved her."

Robin turns to Lucine. "I think that, on the third night of the first time-loop and the first night of the third time-loop, you were not somehow faking it. I think you actually died on both of those nights. Am I right?"

"I'm seeing a pattern here. I'll never be able to understand the thoughts of these 'witches' will I?" Bertram commented drily. "In any case, I have no desire to vote until we sort out at least one of the mysteries still plaguing us."

"Your use of the blue is clumsy, Mrs. Teacher, but I applaud your spirit! Are you sure you do not have witch hunter blood?" Lucine asked. "But no matter. I will grant you a piece of my red, as a sign of respect. Asher Moonview never assisted me in faking my death. He has never given me any of the foul green paste he seems to use for that purpose."

"Okay, well we not getting anywhere with dumb mysteries right now, so let's take break with another fun activity," Uncle Billy said, leaping onto the table. "I call it Uncle Billy's Scrummy Showdown!"

He marched across the table, pointing at the various guests.

"I'd like someone to join me in a duel of wits," he explained, "I will explain every reason why Arthur is actually an evil witch, and you do the same with Allitter. Maybe by laying everything out we decide who more likely. So who's with me?"

Upon hearing Maurice remembering it, Vincent suddenly hits a bad note on his guitar. Seems like Maurice haven't changed at all... He was the same ol' Maurice that he knew 22 years ago.

"..... So what?" Vincent asked with a smirk. "It doesn't matter anyway, since we're all in the Golden Land. And you guys are trying to hunt down the last 3 remaining witches."

With that being said, the musician begins to play a familiar song that some of the people have heard before, Miracle on the Crescent Lake.

I will grant you a piece of my red, as a sign of respect. Asher Moonview never assisted me in faking my death. He has never given me any of the foul green paste he seems to use for that purpose."


Robin nods. "So... you might have survived, then. Just not due to Asher's direct intervention." She chews her lip as she thinks this over.

"Thanks for your help, Robbin!" Uncle Billy replied, "I suppose you not have to, but it be kinda lame if you didn't!"

"Anyways, let's get started," he continued, "I will be explaining reasons why Arthur is a witch."

Uncle Billy moonwalked across the table, stopping next to Archer and accidentally stepping in his food. He pulled out a blunt and took a drag on it, looking like an old gentleman sleuth.

"First of all, Arthur seems well-equipped to be responsible for puzzle of Lucy's death," Billy explained, "Think about this way. Only way we know of for Lucy to die is have own witch kill redirected to her. Arthur is only person with that ability. Therefore it follows that he somehow responsible.

"Obviously this cause load of problems, as we have evidence he not lie that arc. This evidence could only be fabricated with help of other person, usually Morris, but it quite risky anyway. Still, I would like to point out that Arthur alive both time Lucy killed. Of course, for one of those nights he in the midst of death throes from poison, but that not matter since his action go first.

"Anyway, more evidence come from circumstances of our mass death, when Arthur circumvent plans to murder Whiny. This has been discussed at length and justified well enough. However, it also good move for witch to do. Think about it: we were pressuring Arthur into investigating Lucy that round. But if he did that, it would reveal she Big Witch, and we'd voted her in moments. He couldn't lie about her role without proving to Twily that he a witch. So only option was to try other gambit, which has added benefit of taking additional vote from us.

"Main issue with theory is that Arthur has been generally helpful for whole game, and his voting patterns not too suspicious. However, he could just be good actor. His recent votes are a bit more questionable. He voted for Twily, then Zack quite early, and Asser quite early as well! Allitter, at very least, always vote for witch."

After that Billy trailed off. He dropped his blunt into someone's drink to extinguish it.

"Okay, bit of anticlimax, but I ran out of ideas. It probably time to hear from other side anyway!"

Robin nods and awkwardly climbs onto the table, being as careful as possible not to disturb anything set on it. Unfortunately, since the table is covered in stuff, she inevitably steps on some food, knocks some plates aside, and spills a drink. She murmurs an apology for each of them, which turns out to be at least one every time she makes any movements at all. By the time she's finally standing on the table facing Billy, Robin's cheeks and ears are beet-red.

Robin clears her throat.

"Okay, um... First of all, Archer is not the only person here with redirection powers. You can also redirect actions, Billy. You claim you can only redirect them onto yourself, and as far as we've seen, that is how you have behaved. However - we don't have more than your own word to go on. Briggs had your weed on him when he died on the first night of the first arc - and that can be explained by him having swapped abilities with you. You could have redirected someone else that night instead... And you could have redirected them to someone else. Perhaps you redirected Asher's power to Lucine, for instance?"

She takes a deep breath. "A-and anyway, Allister's power could be suspicious. We already have evidence that he was truthful about it, because every time anyone has interacted with Allister, it has mostly lined up with what he said. But how does this power help the mortals? He can survive longer, but the absolute death circle would most likely kill him anyway, and any witch attempts to kill him will still take place a day later. He can't see who tries to kill him to make use of that extra day. And any witch who tries to kill him would know better than to claim they visited him, once he revealed his role, which he did early on."

"But - if he's a witch, then we've already seen how his power is beneficial to his team. He could not be killed by any mortal on the fifth twilight because of his delay powers. If he had been a witch, that would have assured the witches a victory no matter who Archer killed at the end of the third arc - because Allister would not have been a possible target for him."

"As for his voting history--" clink. Robin looks down sheepishly as she has accidentally pushed another plate aside with her foot. "-- sorry. Um. As far as I can recall, Allister consistently votes for whoever already has a lot of votes, and always close to the end, when there's either already a majority or almost a majority. And, I don't recall him offering many of his own ideas about what could be happening." She bites her lip. "I... personally don't think that condemns him, but I don't have much else to go on. If his role is the truth, and it's passive, then we have to look at his behavior, and he's been... trying not to draw much attention to himself. Certainly, Archer has been much more helpful and proactive."

"Well done, Robbin," Billy said, clapping his hands. "However, I am really tired of hearing this dumb argument. If you look at all arcs, finding weed on someone when they dead absolutely means I targeted them."

"In first Twilight of Arc 1, I target Bricks. This proved by weed smell. Bricks generally not leave evidence when he steal from someone, so no reason to think this mean anything else."

"In first Twilight Arc 2, I target Twily. Her and her room smell like weed.
"Next, I target Morris. This proved by his action not reaching Barty.
"Then, I target Bylet. Since no one smell her, this not proved."

"In first Twilight of Arc 3, I target Lucy. Weed smell on her prove this.
"Next, I target Vinny. I think someone prove this based on Arthur shenanigans and people watching, but I forget who.
"Then, I target Allitter. This time, lack of smell prove this. Even if I not target Allitter, it mean I not target anyone. What the point of that?"

"So basically, the only time I could be lying is when I target Bylet. This a fact!" he said, striking a pose. "And even if I were to target Lucy, all I do is die."

"Forgive me but..." Archer chimes into the debate.

"Allister's ability would be quite excellent for a witch next in line to inherit their powers. For one, we know he has his delay, but not much else. We haven't investigated him, so we're unaware what else he can do, if anything. And investigating him would take longer than normal due to the previously mentioned delay."

"If he were to inherit Lucine's killing ability, he could go around generally undetected, as few people would bother looking into him, or his actions, as they would take two nights to get results. Basil and Zachary would hesitate to watch over him, or check his visits, as the possibility of them perishing in between their attempt and receiving the results would be relatively high, given that they are both high priority targets."

"That is all." Archer says as he takes a seat again, waiting for Billy to accuse him more or something.

"Yeah, that's a good point!" Zachary spoke up as well, "To think . . . if it wasn't for his delay power, I might have actually seen him visit Wyn if he had been next in line with the killing power."

Robin furrows her brow and nods at Billy. "It's just... It stands to reason that Briggs would have had your weed whether you targeted him or not, because he swapped powers with you. And every time he does that, he steals something from the person he's swapping with. Perhaps he could have found a better hiding place for the weed, or perhaps he didn't get a chance to because he died. I'm not sure it's likely, but I can't rule out the possibility for now." She taps her cheek.

"And I'm not sure if we can even reach a conclusion on this without solving the riddle of Lucine's 'deaths' in the first and third arcs, but - Archer is still not the only possibility. What about Mickey? Wyn has only gathered half of the information about his ability, right? And - Lucine said Asher uses a foul green paste. Has anyone seen what substance Mickey uses? Are they the same or different?"

James took a small puff from his cigarette," I think Jackie and Bill are good options because it's clear that at least one of them is lying. If Jackie's telling the truth, then that hippie must have caused Lucine's death which would imply he also lied about his ability. Mickey also could've done it but that's highly unlikely because I assume his 'visit' was actually Vincent in disguise and Mickey's ability doesn't seem like it can kill or redirect. If Bill's telling the truth, then Jackie must have lied about Lucine's visitors and not told us about the witch who visited Lucine and caused her death. The only situation where both could be telling the truth and are innocent is if someone else can hide their visits which isn't very likely.

I think Jackie is more likely to be lying and the witches plan was to have someone kill/redirect Lucine and have Vincent visit Lucine disguised as someone. Then Jackie would visit Lucine and lie about her results by not telling us about Lucine's killer's visit to make us think that the person who Vincent disguised himself as killed Lucine which would also make us think that they're the head witch and that Lucine is innocent. Therefore, I'll vote for Jackie."

"Bricks only swap powers with me because I target him," Uncle Billy explained, "He meant to target Bazel instead. Are you saying that he liar as well? Besides, nothing suspicious happen that night, so what does it matter?"

"If that not enough, we never actually find stolen thing on Bricks. He just reveal that he has it himself. On the other hand, we always find weed smell. It never revealed by me." [OOC Translation: Nanjo posted the weed smells. Usually Pancakes revealed that Briggs had stolen items, so the two are separate.]

"I will admit I'm a little more suspicious of Allitter now. Only problem is it doesn't explain any mysteries at all. Unless his hiding something about role that could make some headway there. He was alive both times Lucy died as well."

"So... where do we go from here?"
