Ghost Comment: NOTHING CAN STOP THE JUGGERNAUT!!!

 

[GenMarshall]

OOC: I'm surprised you did not say "I'M THE JUGGERNAUT @#&!@"

 

[Sprig]

GM COMMENT: It is highly likely that this night will be extended for 24 hours. I will be working late tonight and will not be able to give the write up the attention that it needs. That said, I still might find time to sqeeze a write up in.

So if there is nothing in the next 8 hours you can assume the night has been extended by 24 hrs.

EDIT: Sorry guys I tried, but the missus demands massages. I can't write any more today.

Night 4​

Greydon Creed had been a very active man at night and this night would be no exception. He sat on his bed waiting for an appropriate time to set out on his task for the night. He grinned as he thought about his target. The grin on his face dropped and he had an oddly blank look on his face, he stood up and grabbed a black bag from a nearby desk and exited the room. “Let’s see how Magneto likes this” Greydon said out loud as got nearer to his targets room. He paused and opened his black bag and took out a dart gun that was inside. Cautiously he came to the hall way that joined Magnetos room, he peered around the corner and too his astonishment Magneto was sitting in the hall leaning against one of the walls. Not one to let an opportunity go by, Greydon took aim and fired a dart into Magneto. He watched as the dart perfectly sailed through the air and lodged itself in Magnetos arm. “Job done” he whispered as he disappeared around the corner.

Gambit was feeling a little bored. He thought things were going to be a little more exciting but instead he was stuck waiting outside this person’s room. He shuffled his cards and began laying them out on the ground. He observed them for a short while before signing heavily and gathering them back up. He slouched against the wall, and began shuffling his deck of cards once more. Suddenly, he felt a sharp stab in his right arm. He looked down at it and saw the source of the pain; a dart was sticking into his arm. He looked down the corridor and saw an unknown figure disappear around the corner. He jumped up to give chase but paused as he looked at the door outside of which he had be loitering, he hesitated and in that moment he felt a little week in the knees. He collapsed on the ground; he could feel his newly gained strength give way on him. He knew now, that there was no chance to catch the unknown figure.

Jean Grey was mightily pleased with herself. Sitting in her room, she wore a perfectly subtle and mischievous smile, the kind you would expect an older sibling would wear when out to tease their younger brother or sister. She stretched out her hands and yawned, ‘timed to go to bed’ she thought. However she instantly became alert, something didn’t feel right, she searched her own mind and felt a barrier weakening. “No” she gasped ‘Xavier!” She jumped up and tore out of the room at lightning speed.

Wolverine sat idly in his favourite location, casually humming to himself. He stopped and smelt the air. Something didn’t smell right. The air had a kind of burnt gunpowder smell to it. As he got up and decided to investigate the source, a door flew open nearby and Jean Grey come running out. “Hey where ya going girly?” Wolverine called out as Jean ran past him. “Hey, Hey. Jean!” Wolverine was puzzled, ‘better go after her’ he thought. He had forgotten about the burnt smell momentarily but the memory was brought back in an instant when he heard the safety catch of a rifle being released behind him. He turned around and saw Donovan Zane pointing a rifle directly at him. Zane was not one for clichés; he just simply pressed the trigger and unleashed round after round into Wolverines chest until he heard the clicking sound of an empty chamber. Zane’s rifle, despite being empty, followed Wolverines body as it fell to the floor. Wolverine tried to talk but the blood coming up just caused him to make a gargling sound. Zane felt a bit sick at the gargling sound, he looked away and reached for a fresh magazine for his rifle which he promptly reloaded his weapon with. Wanting to stop the noise he took aim once more and fired the whole magazine at Wolverine. Zane kicked him just to be sure and then walked away swing the rifle over his shoulder.

Wolverine lay there motionless, ‘dead’ is what most people would say but then Wolverine is not most people. He lay there more or less dead for a whole ten minutes. When he breathing started back up shallow at first but gradually getting stronger, by now most of the internal organs had healed themselves but it still would be an hour or so before wolverine was fully regenerate and he could get back up again.

Senator Autolycus gathered everybody together in auditorium like he had every morning. Despite all that happened over the past several days he was still publicly demanding that his attempted assassin be brought to Justice. This morning there were three very notable absentees from the auditorium. “Where is the Professor?” demanded the Senator “Does he dare try to mock this peace conference?” The senator looked over to Logan who by now was quite healed “Where is the Professors other aide or that one that is alleged to be Magneto?” Logan just shrugged, truth be told he didn’t know either. Just as the Senator was about to organise someone to go look for them, Jean Grey walked in. “I am afraid, I have some bad news, it is best if you come with me though. A few of the group including the Senator walked to Professor Xavier’s room, Jean opened the door and the rest followed her inside. The Professor was lying prone on the bed as though he was perfectly asleep. Jean Spoke “I have tried all I could to wake him but he is completely unresponsive.”

Spoiler :

Winston Hughes (Professor Xavier) is in a coma

“Who did you think did this? Magneto” growled Logan. “I am not so sure” replied Jean “Logan stay here and look after the Professor, the rest come with me.” The group left Logan alone with the professor and proceed to follow Jean. “What do you mean it wasn’t Magneto? Asked the Senator. Jean Grey stopped in front of another door “Well, I will show you” she said as she opened the door. Just like the Professor, Magneto was lying prone on his bed. “It’s the same thing” Jean exclaimed. “He is completely unresponsive, even his mind, just like the professors just seems to be empty. I have no idea what could have cause this.”

Spoiler :

Diamondeye (Magneto) is in a coma

The Senator spoke with a wry smile “No doubt a dangerous mutant, possible the one that tried to attack me. Ether that, or a plan backfired.” Jean Grey grabbed the Senator and slammed him up against the wall with surprising force. “Listen here Senator and listen carefully” There was such menace in her voice that the Senator could not respond. “There will be no peace without the Professor. It is in your best interest to help us find out who did this or there will be hell to pay!” Jean let go of the Senator and stormed out of the room. The senator dusted him self off and glanced at magneto. “We probable should put this one with the Professor and guard them, who knows what that girl is capable of, should something happen.”

GM Comment: Both Winston and Diamondeye are in a coma and unable to communicate, or vote but otherwise are alive. Please respect the mechanic, thank you.
It is now Day 5: you have 48 (+ 8) hours to make accusations.

 

[Nictel]

I stand by my unanswered accusations of yesterday. j65536d stop trying to hide yourself in silence. If you can vote you can also explain your role here at the peace conference.

 

[Nictel]

Also has anyone have an idea what happened to Xavier? Magneto seems to have been attacked similar to Gambit though Gambit seems to be fine. Gambit I understand you might not want to reveal yourself but can you shed light on this?

 

[Renata]

CCRunner needs to die.

 

[TheLastOne36]

If Gambit was attacked the same way as Magneto, than he should be in a coma as well, not to mention the Prof didn't get attacked by this dart.

Although I fear this dart is able to mess with Mutant powers. If so, we can assume the unknown figure is a Human as well.

This is the second attack on Gambit, so I don't think there is anyharm in him revealing who he is to the rest of us.

 

[CCRunner]

Renata needs to explain why. Since it seems I am under constant fire, here is the group of PM's I've sent to people, mostly winston, explaining my identity.

My ability is that I can masquerade as another character at night. The effects of that are that most abilities targeting me fail (although there's a caveat that my person may receive the action instead, not guarunteed) but there's a chance that any abilities targeting who I disguise myself as hit me instead. Yes, I get to choose. So far, I've been switching off between you and Autolycus mostly since I figure the two of you don't get targeted as much since the two of you are in a slightly unique position.

A lot of suspicion? Well, that's news to me, especially since I've talked to barely anyone. And strangely, nobody contacted me when I invited them too, including renata. Nevertheless, I sent her some of my information. So basically, I don't believe you but I have nothing to hide so I'll talk anyway

My name is Rafael Sabitini, known in the X-Men universe as The Foreigner. I have an ability that I'd rather keep to myself for now, and a personal goal to lead the lynch against Sabertooth. Anything else you'd like to know about me professor?

Just for the record, being evil in the canon universe, doesn't make me evil in this one, as proven by Camikaze, aka Mr. Sinister, who was innocent.

I don't have any time at the moment, but Rafael Sabitini, alias The Forgiener.

before you get all happy cause he's a villian, Camikaze was too but he was innocent.

 

[rhawn]

You are Greydon Creed. Enough of your bologna. Your time has come CCRunner. Also j6553d is Donovan Zane, I would vote to do him in first but I'm more worried about losing my regeneration tonight when you attack me.What you say? Regeneration? Yes I am Wolverine. I've been working closely with Professor X and Jean Grey behind the scenes. I suggest all innocents follow my lead here and trust me when I say that the X-Men have things under control. No one will be harmed by the psycho Zane tonight, trust us, we are the few.

CCRunner, you came to me at the last hour on night 2 demanding I switch my vote over to TForge13(now CivGeneral). That arose my suspicions greatly because why would an innocent want someone to die when we could essentially do a push and allow everyone to survive? It just happens that the Senator contacted me at the same time and wanted Camikaze dead. That in combination with my teammate Renata's suspicion that Camikaze was scum with back to back votes against her, I switched, it was a mistake.

Now as CCRunner points out, Nathaniel Essex was innocent, although he is the alter ego of villain Mr. Sinister, also Raven Darkholme was innocent the alter ego of Mystique. What both of these characters have in common is that they significant to X-Men. When CCRunner and j6553d were manufacturing their cover roles they failed to make their characters important characters, probably for fear that they would be a double-role of someone unknown. Most of the innocent humans with the exception of Andy Kubert, are mutants, Andy Kubert being an artist that draws X-Men comic books. We have Rogue, Mastermind, Gambit, and Colossus that potentially could become mutants(I'm not sure how, but Gambit succeeded only to lose his powers last night when CCRunner injected him with an anti-mutant serum), all of whom go by their characters real names. The problem is the Foreigner was never in an X-Men comic book, he only appeared in a Spiderman comic book when Sabretooth appeared as a crossover. Also j6553d has claimed to be James Bradley aka Dr. Nemesis, an also otherwise very obscure character from X-Men universe. I have to give you guys credit with coming up with these roles, but no one else has anything so ridiculous, except TLO with the comic book artist.

People known to be innocent will be receiving a list of all characters and identities. We have been working the past "4 days" to compile this list, I'm sure it will answer any questions as to who is guilty and who isn't. CCRunner/Greydon Creed and j6553d/Donovan Zane are the remaining members of the terrorist group known as the Friends of Humanity. Join me in eliminating them please.

 

[TheLastOne36]

CCRunner following Rhawn's reasoning.

 

[Autolycus]

I think the "Magneto" Graydon Creed shot and Gambit are one and the same, and Creed was under the influence of some creepy mind mutant.
With regards to whom to kill today, if you x-men can handle Zane, why can't you handle Creed? Forgive me for being selfish, but I want zane(j65536d) dead. Zane can harm me as a human, Creed can't.

 

[rhawn]

I think the "Magneto" Graydon Creed shot and Gambit are one and the same, and Creed was under the influence of some creepy mind mutant.

This sounds plausible. We don't know who could do this. Let's take care of the two known Friends of Humanity first and then find us a creepy mind mutant.

With regards to whom to kill today, if you x-men can handle Zane, why can't you handle Creed?

I've revealed enough as it is. You think our enemies aren't listening to this?

Forgive me for being selfish, but I want zane(j65536d) dead. Zane can harm me as a human, Creed can't.

If Zane hasn't targeted you yet, what makes you think he'd attack you now? Everyone has known who you are throughout this whole ordeal.

I'm still wondering why you approached me on day 2; at almost the exact same time as CCRunner/Greydon Creed did; to get me to help you lynch someone, anyone. Camikaze was your first choice but you seemed happy to see anyone led up to the gibbet, even the quiet girl in the corner. You are paranoid Bub, get with the program, I'm taking a big risk here, kindly help us out. If can't even do that, we'll start thinking things like that are more than coincidence. In fact, this isn't the first time you've defended CCRunner, but let's not get into that. I'd like to believe that you are innocent and not involved with these two monsters we've discovered.

 

[Krill]

CCRunner needs to get his gullet ripped out. Lynch him today, and if any innocents want to go to town they can kill j6whatever tonight and save us some trouble.

 

[Nictel]

CCRunner it is.

 

[Diamondeye]

"..."

 

[Krill]

I'm Remi LeBeau. Former mutant and present day human. Kill CCRunner today, and this game should be done before Christmas with an innocent win.

 

[Autolycus]

Are you threatening me, Logan? Because that's clearly a good idea. One negotiator is in a coma, quick, let's threaten the other one! Why do I think Zane would target me now? Why would whoever put Magneto and the Professor in a coma wait until now? I've asked the opinions of several others whom you say I can trust. Once I've heard back from most of them, I'll make a final decision whom I think we should kill.

 

[Renata]

Senator, you must admit that your past in regards to mutants is not so savory, and your personal goals even now somewhat suspect. Professor Xavier and Magneto were leaders here, the same as you (though Magneto not openly so). They have been struck down; you still stand. Why? You will forgive all of us -- innocent mutants and humans alike -- if we put pay your words little heed just now.

 

[Renata]

(OOC: If we *pay* your words little heed ... )
