The town meeting that day proved to be another dud. I gladly returned to my home, waiting for the other homes to darken before I slipped out again to meet Shelby and Grace.
"Who should I investigate?" I asked.
"Whoever." Shelby replied. "I'm gonna kill Javi."
"Alright. I think I'll investigate Jae." I decided, heading to Jae's house with Grace following me, like a silent shadow. I entered quietly and checked the scene out. Jae was clearly a Veteran, which could be bad. Just as I turned to leave, I heard gunshots. Shit, he's awake... and on alert. I rushed out of the house, glancing back to see that Grace had fallen protecting me. I fled back to my own home, letting myself eventually drift to sleep.
The next morning, the two corpses had been discovered. Javi had been a Vampire, and Grace had been the Bodyguard- although, everyone had known what Grace was. But Javi and Cerin had both been Vampires, which meant there could still be more. We had to get rid of them before they killed us.
"Any leads?" I asked, deciding to play the role of a confident Investigator. I knew that a Veteran result, to an Investigator, would come up as Veteran, Vigilante, or Mafioso, which was nothing to concern the town with, since they had a 2/3 chance of being a Townie. Nobody responded. "Guess not, okay."
"This town is fucking doomed..." Jae muttered.
"Yeah, probably." I agreed. "We were doomed when Mekhi died, let's be honest." The town concurred, a grim mood falling over the Townies as they realized how many people had died. We returned to our homes in silence. I walked back out again to meet Shelby.
"Welp, Jae's a bloody Veteran." I told her. "Do you think he'll alert twice?"
"I doubt it." Shelby replied. "I'm going after him. Who are you investigating?"
"Deon." I decided. Nobody's checked him or Vai yet, I might as well knock 'em out soon." Shelby nodded her agreement before she headed for Jae's house. I hesitated before heading for Deon's house, half-expecting to hear gunshots again, but they didn't come. I figured that meant Shelby was safe, and headed for Deon's house. After a quick investigation, I found out that he was a Jester. That meant that, if I could help him get lynched, I could get him to kill a Townie for me. All I had to do now was tell him who I really was and find a Townie for Deon to haunt.
