The Truth Revealed (TownOfSalem AU)

Change of Pace?

Ace's POV
I wake up with a jolt, sweating. Remnants of my dream echo through my head. I strain to remember what I dreamed about... there was a light-or was it dark?... And a hand..... a creepy voice... Wait? I just shake my head and let all thoughts of my...dream.. dissolve into nothing.

Sitting up, I take a look at my alarm clock and glance over at my computer. 'Well, it's better late then never.' I swing my legs over the edge of my bed and pull off the comfy covers. Shivering, I walk the few steps to my desk chair and put on my sweatshirt hanging over the chair. I then boot my computer and load up Town of Salem.

Town of Salem

[Start Game~Rainbow]
-------
I start up a game by myself, none of my friends are up this late, I think. The name screen pops up and I type in my nickname. Ace has joined the town. Ace had been my favorite avatar name since  I dubbed as my nickname since childhood. I have to move closer to the screen to see the countdown for my role. 5,4,3,2,1......

'Your role: Godfather'

Man, I should really grab my glasses, because I think I just got Godfather as my role. Quickly, I snatch my glasses from my bedside table and check again. Yep, I didn't see that wrong. I don't know whether to rejoice or groan in exasperation. At least for me, this is one of my so-so roles. I mean come on, you get to basically control the lives of other people. But,when you are incredibly guilty and when you are terrible at defenses like I am, it's just easier to be innocent. Sighing, I accept there's nothing I can do to change my role and orient myself with the mafia and their positions on the map.

Ihaseatedyourcookies- Good luck guys!

I laugh quietly. Basically it's talk the first couple seconds, die in the first night. But, I decided to take a risk...

Ace- Thanks! And don't die! ;)

Ihaseatedyourcookies- Then don't kill meeee! xD

Night One falls. I know that was really gutsy but hey, I'm immortal-ish... I hope no one connects the dots... Maybe the mafia shouldn't kill tonight. Sighing, I think that playing a game of Town of Salem is a terrible idea half-awake, and more brain-dead than anything. I just sit back in my chair and order the mafia to kill someone with a weird name, like LockedandLoaded, because I don't know who to target yet...

Will-
Ace the Godfather a.k.a the gambler of lives...
N1- LockedandLoaded

These last few seconds of night always make me so nervous, no matter my role. The Day screen slowly loads. 'No red screen... That's good..' But what I do notice, makes me gasp in disbelief.

Ihaseatedyourcookies died last night... He was killed by a member of the mafia...

I facepalm. The town is going to think it was me... of course I got cocky and just had to say something. Quickly I check the chat. '..You felt a mystical power controlling you..' Of course... Just my luck. And sure enough, I'm put on the lynching stand.

{What's your defense?}
Ace- Why you do this!
Ace- Yes, I'm not innocent but,
Ace- Don't lynch me when there's a witch!
Ace- I just wanted to be encouraging to other people!! :)

I know that's a really bad defense but like I said earlier, I'm terrible at them... Like really, really bad at them. More than half the town votes guilty and I get lynched and watch the town celebrate. Sighing, I leave the game, which is a rarity for me but, I logged on to actually play something.

Quickly, I check Skype. Someone should be on, most of my friends are night owls. Oh hey, bestie Briana's on! Although this really shouldn't surprise me as this is her nightly 'routine'. I start to type in a message but she beats me to it.

'Hey Amelia, what're you doing up?'

'I could ask you the same x3 Just thinking about playing a game..'

'You thinking what I'm thinking?^-^'

'If you're thinking town of....SALAMI!!!.... I couldn't agree more.'

'Let's do it!'

We both agree to start a lobby together. I start up the lobby and invite her to it. We get put into a Classic game with the perfect amount of characters and it begins almost instantly. The screen loads and it's time for people to start choosing names. I put in my usual name, Ace, and join the town. I smile as I see Space has joined the town. It's time for role countdown, and this time I definitely have my glasses on. Annddd my role is? Investigator! Su-weet! It's a nice change of pace from the last game. As soon as I spawn in, I click on my will.

Ace the Investigator:
--- I call the cards now---
N1-
N2-

I click out of my will and find that its already a few seconds into the night. 'Okay, okay... I'm going to invest.... you!' And with that, I click on someone by the name of Derpgod. I take a quick look at the list and see I'm pretty far down. Good, I won't be targeted tonight, at least. The clock reaches the ten second mark and I start to quietly count down with it. "10....9...8...7...6...5....4.....3....2......."

Then it freezes. What? Nonooo, don't tell me I'm lagging behind. Stupid slow computer... My computer is an ancient thing-I'm pretty sure the caveman had one- that freezes up often, so I decide to wait it out.

A few minutes pass and I sigh, although it completely sucks that I'm missing the game and am probably dead, I just try to refresh the page. But, the screen doesn't even budge, or give any indication that it's trying to reload. And that's when it happened.

My room disappeared leaving me in this weird dark-light thing and some floating green words.. 'Welcome Ace! Are you ready for a game?' My heart started beating like I ran a marathon. "W-who.. What are y-you?", I managed to stutter out. 'So... you want to know who I am? Who we are?? Just... Come a little closer..'

Hesitantly, I took a step in the direction of the glowing words. And instantly felt a hand clamp tightly on my arm. My breathing started to speed up and my thoughts were racing. I struggled to wrench my arm away from the invisible hand. By some miracle, my arm came free and I desperately ran towards the light side, hoping it'd offer some protection. Just before I reached the light, I heard a faint voice, '... Save usss.......you will.... Right?.....' Although I was perplexed, I didn't  stop running until I reached the 'light' side and had the sensation that I was falling. As soon as I hit the 'bottom', I awoke with a jolt of panic.

Oh, I was just dreaming. I sit up and look around. This...is...I'm not home! Freaking out, just a little bit, I look around the room. There's a desk... Maybe that can help me out. I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and fall a couple inches to the floor. Okay, this is definitely not my bed. Once over to the desk, I find-papers. Welcome to the Town, Ace! Role: Investigator...Your will here... Wait, these are in Town of Salem.. the game... that I'm in..!?!

Hyperventilating, I sit down on the ground. Okayokayokay, I'm in the game. This isn't bad! I just have to.. live? What happens to me out in the world when I'm here!? What if I... die? I take a deep breath in the attempt to calm myself and my racing thoughts. Time for a pep talk. I stand up and start pacing. What's this, a dress!? Uuuugh... "Alright, I got this. I like adventure!! Let's just.... check out my surroundings! But who... what els-" Just as I'm about to complete my thought, I hear a knock. Presumably, it came from the antique looking door. Ever so very cautiously, I creep towards the door and swing it open. What I see shocks me but also, makes me feel ten times better about my predicament.
