"Good morning, everybody," said Mayor Isabelle. "We're going to have to do another roll call today. Hopefully we're all still here." The mayor read each person's name on a list, one by one. "Starla Pham? Is Starla Pham here?" Nobody answered. "I have a bad feeling about this.... Everybody please stay here while I investigate," the mayor said, hastily leaving the building. ----- The mayor returned, eyes slightly red... "I'm afraid we have lost another of our own..." She held up a piece of paper with a portrait of Starla Pham, defaced with a red X. "Starla Pham... has been murdered," Isabelle said. "Our town Wizard..." The MeGaCorp spell on Starla broken, each person in the Town's memories had returned. "We've lost a bit of the magic that made Tote Valley special" Isabelle mourned. "She was a bit aloof, yes, but she was young and full of dreams. I remember her telling me once that she wanted to start a video game company... That would have been absolutely amazing, with her talents. We will all miss her." Everybody was silent, in Starla's memory. ----- "There are still three among us who are secretly members of MeGaCorp," Isabelle said. "It is imperative that we weed out these people from our beloved town, before we lose any more..." "But what if we vote out someone innocent?" someone called out from the audience. "Well... I can overturn any banishments after all the MeGaCorp cronies are dead," Isabelle replied. "If the person we banish is innocent, at least they will be safe on the mainland... "I've set up a board here with everyone's names. Please write down the name of who you wish to vote for." ----- The following items are available for sale today: The Post Office has the following items on unlimited stock: The Produce section has the following items on unlimited stock: ----- "If you're interested in any of these items, please drop your orders in the little box next to the table!"

Gift boxes, stationery and produce do not count against your inventory slots! ----- "By the way, everyone, I trust that you all received this in your mailboxes this morning," the mayor said, holding up a cute piece of paper: "It's the Harvest Festival, and the Harvest Goddess has personally sent us these messages to invite us to the festivities! Isn't that exciting? There will be food and games at the Town Square, and the Hot Springs will be accepting your donation of farm products for the Harvest Goddess. Toss in a food item, and, if you're lucky, the Goddess herself will appear and bless you! I hope you can all have fun at today's event. We can't let MeGaCorp take any more of our joy away." Then, the mayor takes out a beautiful glass case: "As usual, with our festivals comes a silent auction! Up for bid today is a Mayor's Vote! Oh my... I didn't realize the previous mayor wanted this for sale! Bless his soul! Nevertheless, I'll keep his memory alive by making this available to everyone. "This item will let anyone get an extra vote to use at any of our Town Hall meetings... including our recent eviction meetings. "The bidding starts at 10G. It's a silent auction, so simply send in the highest amount you want to bid. The winner will secretly get the item at the end of the Day." ----- SUMMARY: Ninfia has been murdered by MeGaCorp. Ninfia was the town's Wizard. The Harvest Festival has begun! If you wish, you can PM me a produce item to throw into the Hot Springs. A certain item is Blessed by the Goddess, while another item is Cursed. Which one will it be? We'll see... The Auction is on for the Mayor's Vote. Bidding starts at 10G. Day 2 ends 22 hours and 43 minutes from this post. Please put your votes in BOLD! Ratio is 9:3:1 |
