Gryff (1): Guiri (1): CiaS CiaS (13): Scudsy, Gryff, Boozy Squid, USCD., Norm Phase, DB, Guiri, AllWalker, Scuba, Alky, Digger, OaOW, tilta The group gathered in the middle of the town again, and before any real discussion had been raised, Alka announced, “CiaS is totally the head screamer!” “Aha!” yelled Tom Scud. “Hark, foul villian! Show your face, knave, so we can throw you to the dogs!” Cias looked up from his snack. “Oh. No. Yeah, I’m the head screamer, but I’m totally town. Yeah. I’m not a scum, you guys.” Tom grabbed him. “Do not listen to his gilded tongue, fellow compatriots, for he will try to bring us to our knees!” As they carried Cias to the tester, he stated, “Wait, I’m a detective. And eenie meenie miney Guiri is scum. Yup. Not me though.” “You lecherous rouge! We cover our ears, lest your slithering doubletalk influence us!” shouted Tom agian, as he threw Cias into the machine. The machine rumbled and whirred. “Aah. Aah.” stated Cias. He tumbled out, devoid of spark. **CatinaSuit, a Model 5 (Screamer Investigator), is dead.** No wait, that’s not right. I must have left my notes in my other pocket, hang on… … … … No, that is right after all. **CatinaSuit, a Model 5 (Screamer Investigator), is dead.** Nighttime. Day starts Noon Friday EST. ---

BTW, a quick note to the person I’m sending the distress beacon thingy to: please don’t acknowledge receipt right away, as it takes a full night to record a new message (assuming it can be re-recorded). ---

**Hmm, Just to clarify, the red text means that screamer was not town affiliated, yes?** So, not Head Screamer, but it was a model 5 screamer. What do you think this means in light of your role **Alka**? **Incidentally was there berynium found?** ---

> [@Tom\_Scud](#): > > Oh hey Gryff while you’re here: how much did you know about what the music box did? To be honest I expected the music box to be a distraction if a screamer tried to grab you (i.e screamer stops and stares at the box while you escaped). I don’t think I have been right on an object yet. At this rate the doily will be a nuke.. ---

I don’t know. But **Cat** was not playing like Town since **Alka** ’s claim. Not even in the slightest. I don’t know how to account for it, but I can’t believe he was Town. ---

You all were right, and I was wrong to listen to Cat over Alka. Shimatta, slicha, my bad. Town is on a roll! We may win this! _reviews his own game history_ All that seems left to do to seal the victory is to mis-lynch me. I don’t like either outcome from that… ---

> [@Tom\_Scud](#): > > But why would Scum have 2 investigators? Maybe to find a third party? In the movie the only guy they didn’t kill outright was the guy who knew where a spacecraft that could fly to earth is. I think the movie was suggesting that the screamer would cause all sorts of mayhem if it got to earth. If this is the case then I would expect **Alka** is the one they want, but if so they would have known for days about him.
