There's a simple solution, you know.
Just stop being Takumi. You have the power. I believe in you.

Death and what came after death was no great mystery to Sabriel. She just wished it was.ALCASYNC
The Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix
__________
You wore a leather bandolier across your chest, with seven leather pouches hanging down from it. Each pouch contained a bell which, when rung, had the power to bind or raise the dead. These were not a necromancer’s bells, but those of the Abhorsen, silver with mahogany handles, and woven through with Charter Magic. To an inexperienced wielder, there were dangerous consequences to ringing the bells, but you were not inexperienced. You knew the bells, and understood their powers and their risks.
First, there was Ranna, the Sleepbringer. EVERY THIRD NIGHT, AND ONLY FROM DEATH, RANNA COULD BE RUNG TO SEND SOMEONE INTO SLEEP, PREVENTING THEM FROM ACTING.
Mosrael, the Waker, could be rung ONCE IN LIFE TO BRING A DEAD SOUL TO LIFE WITH ALL THEIR POWERS INTACT, AT THE COST OF SENDING THE WIELDER INTO DEATH.
Kibeth, the Walker, could be rung ONCE A NIGHT AND ONLY IN LIFE, TO TAKE CONTROL OF SOMEONE’S MOVEMENTS AND REDIRECT ANY ACTION THEY MAY HAVE TAKEN TO A TARGET OF THE WIELDER’S CHOICE.
Dyrim gave the dead a voice, and could be rung ONCE IN LIFE, TO SEND A MESSAGE TO AND RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM ONE OF THE DEAD, and ONCE AGAIN IN DEATH, TO SEND A MESSAGE TO A MEMBER OF THE LIVING BUT RECEIVE NO RESPONSE.
Belgaer had the power to erase memories, and could be rung ONLY ONCE, IN EITHER LIFE OR DEATH, TO ERASE ALL THE ABILITIES OF THE TARGET, EITHER LIVING OR DEAD. Unfortunately, Belgaer also had the potential to BACKFIRE, WIPING AWAY ALL ABILITIES OF THE WIELDER, INSTEAD.
Saraneth allowed the wielder to take control of the dead, and could be rung ONCE IN LIFE, TO BORROW ONE USE OF AN ABILITY FROM A DECEASED INDIVIDUAL.
Astarael the Sorrowful, the largest and deepest bell, could be rung ONCE IN LIFE, TO SEND BOTH THE TARGET AND THE WIELDER INTO DEATH.
For generations, your family bore responsibility to right the imbalances caused by those who defy the natural order of life and death. Wearing these bells, you set out into the rivers of death.question asker but gets replies as alethiometer images, death ability: all dead players can come back to life to spec for one phase
Symbols and emblems were everywhere. Buildings and pictures were designed to be read like books. Everything stood for something else; if you had the right dictionary, you could read Nature itself.LUXARIA
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
__________
The golden frame gleamed in the dim anbaric light, catching brightness around its rim. The object in your hands, with its crystal face and revolving hands, could have been a clock, only instead of numbers around the dial, there were images. Thirty-six in total, depicting a variety of intricately illustrated forms: an anchor, a candle, an owl, and so many more. Scholars spent weeks with their noses buried in the Books of Reading trying to puzzle out its answers, but alethiometry had always come naturally to you. EVERY NIGHT, YOU ASKED THE ALETHIOMETER ONE QUESTION AND WATCHED A WHIRLING NEEDLE MARK THE SYMBOLS OF ITS ANSWER. Tonight was no different. With practiced fingers, you swung the needles into place.
The hourglass, for death. The baby, for the future. Lastly, the candle, which meant understanding or learning. What will happen after I die? You held the question in your mind, letting your thoughts float into a familiar meditative state. The fourth needle shivered, and then began to spin. It cycled twice and settled upon THE DOLPHIN, THE ANGEL, AND THE HOURGLASS, hovering for only a fraction of a second on each. Satisfied with your answer, you returned the Alethiometer to the pouch at your waist.target a player, make them target themselves (cannot redirect NK); 1x lynchsave, learns the role of the player he saves
“That may very well be true.” Responds Carl. “But he is the book, and as the book he is entitled to all of his own rights. I’m sorry. Right now you need to be thinking about damage control, and you need to make a deal with this book that both of you can live with.”MR. GERBEAR
Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt" by Chuck Tingle
__________
You’re a famous writer, and like all famous writers, you have a dark secret. Admittedly, your dark secret isn’t anything as edgy or compelling as, say, an abusive childhood or murdering the ex-fiance of a past lover. But it’s also not something you’d want to tell people about at parties.
Some time ago, due to a lawsuit filed against you by your own literary creation, you spent a steamy, mind-blowing night getting pounded in the butt by your book Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt. You tangled the sheets in ecstasy, you moaned until your throat went raw, and now, you run a blog to motivate other authors to explore similar passions. EVERY NIGHT, YOU CAN SEND AN EMAIL TO SOMEONE, ENCOURAGING THEM TO SEEK THE SULTRY EMBRACE OF THEIR OWN STORIES. Any actions they may have taken will be turned on themselves in a steamy act of self-appreciation. Any actions they may have taken will be so, so turned on. You can’t affect the night kill, though. The little death and actual death are entirely different things.
Additionally, once in the game, if anyone is ever up for a lynch, you can CANCEL THE LYNCH AND SETTLE THEIR AFFAIRS IN A MORE PERSONAL WAY. You’ll settle their affairs all night long, and in so many different positions. And while the two of you are getting cozy under the covers, maybe you’ll also LEARN A THING OR TWO ABOUT YOUR NEW BEDFRIEND.
As for right now, though, you’re thinking of dimming the lights and curling up in bed with a nice book, if you know what I mean.jailer, if jails vowels then they form a pm alliance + lover bond
Azog felt the kiss of sharp claws against her skin as the hide slid from her shoulder and exposed one naked, heaving breast.LULU
In the Velociraptor's Nest by Christie Sims
__________
The men in your tribe never appreciated you. They treated you no better than a piece of mammoth meat, never talking to you, always pushing you around with their brutish, hairy hands. After an unforgettable night in dark, damp cave of a velociraptor, you awoke to new possibilities. Now, rather than the leathery, calloused skin of your tribesmen, you crave a tender, scalier touch.
In an effort to recreate the rapture with that passionate raptor, EACH NIGHT, YOU CAN INVITE SOMEONE INTO A CAVE, SHIELDING THEM FROM THE DANGERS OUTSIDE BUT DISTRACTING THEM WITH YOUR WOMANLY WILES FROM TAKING ANY ACTIONS. If by any chance, you happen across THE DINO OF YOUR DREAMS, you will develop an amorous relationship with them, gaining the ability to COMMUNICATE FREELY AND PRIVATELY with your lover. The world is unkind, and the jurassic world more so; if either of you dies after forming this new relationship, THE OTHER WILL DIE of a broken heart as well.aware of lulu-senpai and can see everyone who acts on lulu + revenge kill if someone kills lulu, if lulu jails vowels vowels forms pm alliance + lovers with lulu

__________
You’ve had a crush on your classmate, Lulu, for so long, but you just can’t bring yourself to tell her! One day, senpai might notice you, but until then you can’t help but keep an eye on everyone who approaches her. EVERY NIGHT, YOU WILL RECEIVE A LIST OF ALL THE ROLES THAT TARGETED LULU-SENPAI. Additionally, if Lulu-senpai is ever killed, your dinosaur instincts will kick in and you will EAT WHOEVER KILLED HER. Kyaa~ this is how far you’ll go for love!Stun but uses posts to stun people (post will appear in rollover), once in the game (even after death) can make an intermission that contains whatever text she wants, can edit that intermission once per phase (even after death)

You don’t care what mafia does somewhere else in the universe, but anywhere within reach of your sword is yours to protect. Unfortunately, the manga-ka was too lazy to draw you a sword this time around, so you’ll have to make do. EVERY NIGHT, YOU CAN PICK UP A POST FROM THE THREAD AND USE IT TO WHACK THE PERSON WHO MADE THAT POST, KNOCKING THEM OUT FOR THE NIGHT AND BLOCKING THEM FROM ACTING. PM the host with a link to the post you pick as your weapon. The length or contents of the post don’t matter. Probably.
Additionally, once in the game, you can CREATE AN INTERMISSION POST AND PUT WHATEVER FLAVOR YOU WANT IN IT. PM the host when you want to use it along with what you want it to say. Once that intermission is up, you can’t make a new intermission, but you can EDIT THE EXISTING INTERMISSION FLAVOR ONCE EVERY PHASE, EVEN AFTER YOU DIE.literally clover’s role, death ability: making friends (message sending) with other dead people

All My Friends Are Dead by Avery Monsen and Jory John
__________
All your friends are dead. You will have to make new ones. AT ANY POINT IN THE GAME, YOU CAN MAKE A FRIEND. You and your friend will get along for a few hours. Maybe even a few days. You will be the Phil to your friend’s Doug, sailing the seven seas on your friendship. Then, out of the blue, with absolutely no warning, YOUR FRIEND WILL DIE. As soon as you become friendless once more, you can MAKE ANOTHER FRIEND. You can make as many friends as you’d like. They will all die. They will all die between 24 and 72 hours of initiating friendship. You are very lonely.
When you die, the tables will turn. Or, you will turn into a table. Maybe both are true. In death, all dead are your friends. ONCE A NIGHT, YOU CAN SEND A MESSAGE AND RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM ANY OTHER DEAD PLAYER. Some of them might forgive you for killing them. Most of them probably won’t.redirect all actions from a player onto herself, bulletproof up to 3x unless directly targeted

Blindsprings by Kadi Fedoruk
__________
Despite the seal placed upon you by the Academists in 762, you were kept safe by a pact made with the spirits of the Wickwold forest. Thanks to their intervention, though you can’t remove your seal entirely, you can influence and repurpose Academic sigils created by others. EACH NIGHT, YOU MAY TARGET A PLAYER AND REDIRECT ANY ACTIONS THEY TAKE ONTO YOURSELF. If you redirect a kill attempt, you will be able to anticipate it and heal yourself with Orphic magic, surviving up to THREE REDIRECTED ATTEMPTS ON YOUR LIFE. If you are targeted directly, however, you will be caught off guard and will not be able to protect yourself.revive other player 1x (comes back as vanilla), after death revives every x hours as vanilla (after every revive, add time to timer), baelfire (target one player, erase them from existence starting two phases back, their actions will be written out of rollover and they cannot be targeted by actions incl. revive) goes insane after using balefire
"The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills, and we are only the thread of the Pattern."T3TSUYA
The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan
__________
The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the third age by some, an Age yet to come, an age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.
The wind twisted through a ruin, weaving between once-great statues and pillars that supported no longer. The marble fragments of the building, weathered by time and sand, bore none of the familiar trappings of battle. Neither crumbling breaches, nor scorch marks, nor fissure from bladed weapon marred the surface of these remains, for this ruin had been destroyed by a power more devastating than war. This immaculate erasure was caused by A SINGLE STRIKE OF BALEFIRE, a weapon so powerful that it burned its target from the pattern entirely, UNDOING NOT ONLY HIS PRESENT EXISTENCE, BUT ALL OF HIS ACTIONS BACK ONE DAY AND ONE NIGHT IN TIME.
Onward the wind danced through the streets of a nearby town, carrying ringing laughter from the cobbled streets to the windows of soaring towers. It slipped through an open window, past silk curtains embroidered in golden thread and drawn aside to greet the rising sun. Here, the wind finds a tapestry hanging loose against the wall and flutters against it, sending ripples across the fabric like waves in a tranquil sea. The tapestry depicts a seven-spoked Wheel, drawing ONE THREAD OF AN ENDED LIFE AND WEAVING IT OUT INTO THE WORLD ANEW. Though eras may end and histories forgotten, the WHEEL ITSELF CONTINUES SPINNING UNTIL THE END OF TIME.once in the game can trigger a timeline split like tarot phase (people send in separate actions for each timeline) and deo can pick which timeline to continue with; automatically triggered if targeted for a kill
“There are worlds of light and dark, light and twilight, past and future, and, of course, sky and surface. Link is oftentimes responsible for connecting two very different worlds.”DEO
The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia by Nintendo
__________“We wanted to play off the idea of multiple timelines, and how Link bridges the gap between the two. We ended up settling on a role where, once in the game after Night 2, Link can TRIGGER A TIMELINE SPLIT, which will exist as its own separate phase, neither night nor day. Players will submit two sets of actions, and Link will be able to SEE THE RESULTS OF BOTH BRANCHES, AND CHOOSE ONE BRANCH AS THE TIMELINE THAT CONTINUES. The other branch will cease to exist and only Link will know what happened in that branch.”— Kiyoko, Cat Host.
.
.“Additionally, just to make sure that this actually happens, if Link dies at any time before getting a chance to split the timelines (including before Night 2), the timeline split will TRIGGER AUTOMATICALLY, and Link will remain alive until the branches merge again, after which he will die.”— Cure, Owl HostTyping quirk: must ramble on about things that are not true (needs to do this to ensure her ability works at night, daytime is optional)

Complete World Knowledge series by John Hodgman
__________TWO FACTS THAT ARE TRUE
As an adult in today’s corporate society, you may, at some point in your life, have been required to participate in an icebreaker. You may have memories of teambuilding sessions at six in the morning, when Smiling Sandra1 gathers you all in a circle and asks you to introduce yourselves. “Let’s all say our names, and then two truths and one lie about ourselves,” she said.
You don’t remember the rest. It’s a blur in your memory, made hazy by the pain-numbing ennui of your career, and the alcohol that is slowly ruining your life and your liver.
Luckily for you, you have just earned the opportunity to relive these traumatic memories over and over again. EVERY NIGHT, YOU CAN TARGET A PLAYER TO LEARN INFORMATION ABOUT THEM. You will get three statements. Two of them will be true. One of them will be false. One of them might even be interesting, but it might be the false one.2
1 She earned the nickname Smiling Sandra because out of everybody in your office, she is the only one to ever have been witness smiling. Once. It was a Thursday. You weren’t there, but you heard it from Nosy Natasha, who, incidentally, got her name after a plastic surgery gone wrong.
2 In order to activate this ability, you need to WRITE A BRIEF ARTICLE EACH NIGHT on a topic of your choosing. Make sure it has a title in bold, and at least two sentences. Eh, better make it three just to be safe. You can write whatever you want, as long as most of the information is verifiably false. If you fail to write an article, you won’t get your information. Capitalism. That’s how it works.

BEING A COMMISSAR WAS hard enough without a bloated reputation for heroics. All you ever wanted was a safe corner away from the action where you could live out the rest of your service if, not in piece, at least a relative absence of action of the life-threatening variety. Even though you’re here in the thick of it, you won’t give up on that humble dream. THRICE IN THE GAME, WITH A TWO-NIGHT COOLDOWN IN BETWEEN, YOU CAN HEAD FOR SHELTER AND AVOID ALL INCOMING ACTIONS. Given your track record, things probably won’t go as you expect. Or maybe, since you’re expecting not to expect it, things will go exactly as you expect. In any case, one thing’ll lead to another, and soon the troops will be singing your praises, REVEALING YOUR HEROIC NATURE TO ALL. You’ll give it about FIVE DAYS until something like this happens.

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm;DRANDAHL
I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
__________
Every robot was designed to follow the Three Laws but you, with your titanium alloy casing and fail-safe sustained shutdown protocol, were created specifically to protect. EVERY NIGHT, YOU CAN TARGET AN INDIVIDUAL TO SHIELD THEM FROM KILL ATTEMPTS. You may choose the same target two nights in a row, but as your priority is safeguarding humans, you may not select yourself for protection.
If you are ever damaged beyond repair, you will CONTINUE TO OPERATE FOR TWO MORE PHASES, allowing you to execute one final protection before shutting down entirely.
If at any point you FAIL TO SUBMIT AN ACTION and an individual comes to harm, violation of the First Law will cause your wires to short circuit, and you will BE DESTROYED. This self-destruction bypasses your sustained shutdown, and you will cease operation immediately. This process only applies to full-length night cycles.1x in the game, pick some players and only their actions will go through (NK is exempt), 1x bulletproof (but not lynchproof)

(2) In New Orth, a colloquial term indicating unlikely SURVIVAL OF WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL EVENT, referring to a well-known thought experiment that takes sense (1) to its theoric extremes.—THE DICTIONARY, 4th edition, A.R. 3000
(In English, once in the game, when you want to trigger your ability, send a list of player names to the host. Only the night kill and actions taken by the players on that list will go through; actions taken by players not on the list will be discarded.

Glad I jumped on that lynch train when I did.
One thing I must know though...
DID I actually protect the Town twice?
I also regret not last-minute claiming I had one more use of my role, had i been around just one more night. I was just too busy that day to even think about doing that till it was too late. :(
Edit: Ninja'd. Nope, I actually was just wholly selfish, it just coincidentally happened on nights with no NKs? Heh.

I know you’re not thirsty. That’s bullshit. Stop lying.

Go the Fuck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach
__________
The forum has slowed to a halt, now.
No member is making a peep.
You’ll get your first Win Condition
When they actually go the fuck to sleep.
AT NIGHT YOU CAN KNOCK OUT A PLAYER
until they’re a motionless heap.
You earn FIVE points for every night
you stun some shit loser to sleep.
And EVERY FIVE DAYS YOU CAN PHASE END,
and for every missed vote that you reap
you get ONE extra point, so act early that phase,
and make the whole goddamn thread go to sleep.
When you rack up FORTY points total
(stop whining, it isn’t too steep),
you’ll gain your Win Condition A,
and can nod the fuck off, and sleep.
There’s a second Win for STUNNING
THAT OTHER NEUTRAL, so keep
an eye out for that fucker.
You’ll win if they go fucking sleep.
Heads up, they’re also searching for you,
so stay hidden, be sneaky and creep.
You can’t get Win B if they find you
before they’re fucking asleep.
early phase end once every 5 day phases, cancels lynch, for every player who didn’t vote that phase, gain 1 point
every night, stun a player to make them go the fuck to sleep, for every player stunned gain 5 point (will still get points off stunning the same player multiple times)
win at 40 points
Win condition B: stun other neutralWin condition A:

__________
Thus the neutral proposed a competition
to encourage thread to help her WIN CONDITION,
which involved SELECTING A PLAYER EACH NIGHT.
The player, once chosen, then needed to write
a story for the neutral. And with role powers
all negated, for the forty-eight hours
after being selected to tell a tale,
the player would then be inclined to regale
the neutral with an original fable.
And thusly will the chosen player be able
to regain his powers. And the neutral would beseech
FOUR STORIES TOTAL, and would then consider each
and of them select her favorite story
and to the narrator who earned this glory
one killproof, or one revive if needed.
And thus here, will our neutral have succeeded
and earned WIN CONDITION A.
Here now is the alternate way
for the neutral to win: if she happens to FIND
THE OTHER PLAYER WHO IS NEUTRAL-ALIGNED,
and SOLICITS A STORY from him or her,
taking this action would then confer
upon her another win. But she must not relax
for the other is also pursuing her tracks
and if the other finds her first, then she
will lose access to WIN CONDITION B.
Invites people on a pilgrimage with her, picks a player to tell a story, that player is vanilla until they tell her the story (minimum 1 day 1 night but will extend by 1 day 1 night for every phase they don’t tell her a story), wins with 4 stories, picks the best story and gives them a reward (1x deathproof to living winner, 1x revive as vanilla to dead player)
players are told that they must write an original story (no copy paste), are judged on their story, and the best story out of everyone selected will get a reward
Win condition B: solicit story from other neutral
- First (and only) Story:
It was the kind of cold, dark night that clung to you like a distant and unreal dream. Something is batting against my head making me dizzy and sick. It’s her. She’s tiny, persistent, and angry. Lighter than an underweight ghost. She’s barely there, but with how she makes herself known you’d think she was 8 feet tall. A raven-haired berserker raining down her fury upon my chest like she was judge, jury, and executioner. Ignoring her is a capital offense. I oblige her sentencing and wake to face the music. 3:57AM. Should have set an alarm.
She directs the few living shreds of my attention towards the amateur symphony cascading against the front door. I don’t expect visitors at this hour. My private life cares less for what I expect than anything else. I look to her for an answer, she looks to me for dinner. Rain. Hard, drumming, pounding rain. It’s been coming down for hours. The door’s third movement is cut brutally short as I open it to let trouble in. Trouble, however, hovers in my doorframe unready to commit. Trouble is tall, legs long enough to give you vertigo. Red as slaughter with a personality to match. She always looks like she’s up to something, and is. My offer to leave her to let herself in is only accepted when my stare vacates hers. Couldn’t let me think she appreciates me too much. I know the game.
Red greets Black. They were always firm friends. Black has been here for longer than I remember. Red just showed up one day and never left. Together they sink their fangs deep enough into my life that I am perpetually reminded I am not the master of my own destiny. No complaints here. They mutually decide I want to make the world’s latest dinner. Two beautiful girls have a way of making you think exactly how they like.
Their hunger is sated, at least in the literal sense. My presence is no longer needed and I relish the momentary quiet. You let them stick around, and they’ll walk all over you. Work doesn’t get itself done and I’ve already been torn away by twin demonessess for 3 days. I go to my desk. Files have piled up further than the drop from common sense to the wisdom of my daily decisions. Messages are backed up, letters unread. I get busy. I pick up the horn to return some angry calls to angrier people as I wash down reality with whatever is left in the desk drawer.
Minutes squeak by in an hour and my progress is halted by a batting hand knocking the receiver out of my ear. Red stares at me. She’s hungry. She wants my attention, and she wants it now. The phone clatters to the ground as she crawls into me trying to take me down. The treatment Black has been giving me shifts from the coldest of cold shoulders to a fiery attack up my arm that not even the bravest man could dare fight off. They tear into me in tandem. I am powerless against their will and the beautiful pain shooting through me demands my full compliance. What starts as play turns into a full on assault. Tongue, tooth, and claw fly in all directions. No part of me remains that has the energy to regret this arrangement. No shred of me cares. I am a prisoner. A slave. And as my crimson valkyrie descends to finish me off I look the devil in the eye and I know...
This is what it is to be a cat owner.
I’ll pick up more treats tomorrow.
