"You too," she said. Both the vulpix she'd met here were so different from Pixie. More intelligent, yes, but also more human. Even when she evolved and got a lot smarter, she'd still be a very smart fox with a fox's worldview. Despite having the bodies of pokemon, everyone here seemed to be in a...

"I... I didn't mean for it to happen. It seemed harmless at the time. Then everything got out of hand far, far too quickly." Inner light. Heh. She had that, now. Just a few days ago she'd been so concerned that she needed to apologize to Starr and make everything right but, really, she'd never...

The first thing she noticed was the spike of cold rushing down her body, feeling more like a burn than a chill. Then it settles down to a temperature that's less uncomfortable. Almost balanced by the warmth of the fur. Cuicatl slowly relaxed and leaned into the touch. Was this what cuddling Pix...

"They'd get over it quickly enough. My mom and brother are dead, my dad doesn't care, my sister is strong enough to take care of herself. My daughter is... young. Three moons old. Maybe she won't even remember me in a year or two. Her dad's alive and there's no shortage of people who would take...

“I guess.” And she did miss them, in a fashion. She missed her Pokémon’s antics, and her mom’s team, and even sort of Kekoa. And she really missed her brother. “But I still want to stay here,” she half-whispered. “Does that make me a terrible person?”

Great. A reminder that she was also twisting the knife in Pix’s abandonment issues. She wanted to just lie on the ground and do nothing forever, but when she did stuff like that people got concerned and started giving her attention that she didn’t deserve. “Just thinking about home.”

Oh boy. The two players who keep voting in sync, first on Fusion, then Del, and now me, insist that the person they swayed is the scum. Am I inconsistent? Yeah, but I thought at the time I changed my mind that it was justified. -I initially embraced dumb RNG shit in part because it would allow...

...well, shoot. Huh. I guess I did assume that you were town when I took your word on windskull. @Tanuki I'm almost certain that the flavor text just referred to DA's vote on you, and not a final message that Starlight allowed them to send from beyond the grave. @Shiny Phantump Can you...

[[ "At least everyone lived." Except, of course, for the person he'd helped kill. The innocent person he'd helped kill. And there was still no proof that there even were evil spirits possessing the living. It was entirely possible that their hosts were just playing a sick game with their guests...

Cuicatl stumbled into the strange scents of the marketplace. Her steps slowed and eventually she stopped altogether, losing the will to walk. She plopped down without a shred of grace. A small part of her noted that she barely felt the fall, especially compared to the pain of every trip back...

“Thank you.” It was a lovely idea. But it still couldn’t absolve her. And if it could, she wouldn’t deserve it. Cuicatl walked away to brood alone.

Cuicatl didn’t feel like spilling her entire life story to a near-stranger. So the real answer, that her mom had died and her dad changed for the worse because of it, would remain unspoken for now. “Probably not. She’s a tyrunt, he’s a human: she gives better than she gets.” “Sorry for putting...

Right. Family. “I’m raising a tyrunt hatchling. She’s...” Not quite a daughter. Not quite a sister. Partner? That feels a little dismissive. “She sees me as her mother. I’d feel bad leaving her alone. Sure, she has a dad, but he’s kicked her and I’m not sure if he’d do worse when I’m gone.”...

“Oh, absolutely! I’m a lot stronger now and have fewer things to worry about. Sure, the world’s ending and that sucks, but so was mine. And I can actually make a difference here!” She paused and lowered her head as she mulled whether to even say the logical conclusion. Maybe she was already...

“Sort of. My mom was one of the few outsiders in the town, and the people never really forgave me for that. Then some property of mine got stolen and I had to go get it back.” All of that was true, more or less.

Cuicatl decided to ignore her thoughts on the gods for now. She didn’t want a rebate of the debacle with Starr, however much the latter insisted it hadn’t been Cuicatl’s fault. She pushed down the thoughts about Starr, lost but not confirmed dead in a very literal example of Schrödinger’s Cat...

“Confusing. A little lonely, since I didn’t know anyone there when I arrived.” Not that she had been on good terms with anyone at home when she left. “What was your home like? You may have told me, but it’s been a while. A lot’s happened in the meantime.”

So it was nighttime. The cooler temperature hinted at it, but it was possible that there was just a cold front and cloud cover. “Starlight never did anything for me, but I do like the sound of the waves.” She settled down on her stomach and stretched out. “Never heard them growing up, but I...

Cuicatl walked up to the bluff. It had been a chaotic few days, and she needed somewhere quiet with a nice breeze and the sound of waves to take a nap. But the sound of a heartbeat and the smell of fur alerted her that someone else was already there. Fine. She could socialize. “I think...

It’s random, per the Day 1 opening post. It seems like the more experienced players want a daykill, and TBH the outcomes aren’t that bad. If we hit scum, we end up taking an early lead. If we don’t, at least we’ll have information to go off of. Doing nothing means that at the start of Day 2 the...
