Some of [these](http://intoxicologist.net/2010/09/national-comic-book-day-super-hero-cocktail-recipes/) (minus anything with gin, of course) sound pretty darn tasty. ---

The heroes woke up, finding that their TV’s……had been replaced! With TV’s!!! HD-TV’s!!! Yeah! Not only that, but they clicked on. Well, they didn’t’ click on. The little light went on and the heroes simultaneously sat up to see what came on. They had to wait a bit for the picture to come in. Very annoying. But eventually, a video did play and it was engaging to say the least. [BOOM! POW! SQUISH!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jPTGP4UbWA&feature=related#t=1m14s) A small crackle from the loud-speaker, followed by a tired sounding yawn. “Well, looks like Castiel won’t be joining us….for the rest of his life. Anyway, come on down to the lobby for breakfast and more meetings. Yep, even here your life is mainly taken up by meetings. Seriously, though, you do need to choose another one of you to drop dead. Come on down.” The heroes re-assembled in the lobby. The blood and guts splatter of what-was-once-Castiel was everywhere. “Don’t worry. We have a maid service. It’ll get cleaned up. Just go eat breakfast and then come out and choose another one of you to……leave.” They did and it did not take long to figure out which one of them had been Castiel. **Peeker, who was Castiel from Supernatural, is now dead. He was a member of the Excellent Indivisible Unity of Good Characters. He had no special powers; he was Vanilla Town.** It is now Day Two. Day Two ends Thursday, January 27 at 3:00 PM Eastern. The player with the most votes at the end of Day Two will be killed. Have fun! ---

> [@Pleonast](#): > > You know, I’m going to catch some heat for this, but I think votes based solely on self-preservation are anti-town. > **unvote Idle Thoughts** > **vote Oredigger77** > Note to **ushi** , if you switch your vote to **Ore** , I will switch my vote to you for the same reason. I think you’re really going to explain yourself here. Self-preservation votes by a town player are just playing the odds in the town favour. Further if **Oredigger** had had a special power that was useful to town (he didn’t, but at that stage presumably no-one could’ve known that for sure except him) then a self-preservation vote would’ve been very beneficial to the town. ---

Well, I guess I’ll be the first to state the obvious: A last-minute vote shift onto someone we now know to have been Town looks suspicious for the person being switched away from. **Vote Ushi** ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Well, I guess I’ll be the first to state the obvious: A last-minute vote shift onto someone we now know to have been Town looks suspicious for the person being switched away from. My thing is, I’m not sure how much we can conclude from a day 1 vote. I mean, yes, your obvious point is valid, but I’m not sure that it all went down like that. To me it assumes more orchestration than meets the eye. I guess what I am saying is, is that I think casting votes into this sample will probably hook a townie. Not saying you are wrong, just saying that wow, you voted fast. ---

Well, not all _that_ fast. I’ve been thinking about it since Nightfall; it’s just that I couldn’t say anything about it until now. And as for “casting votes into this sample”, right now I’m looking at a sample of one: If **Ushi** comes up Scum, then it’s worth looking at the people who shifted the vote to **Oredigger** , but if he comes up Town, then it probably doesn’t say anything about those people.
