The villagers gathered in Qgqqqq's house, shaken by the disappearance of thestick. Well, except for Tasunke, who was too busy talking to fairies. Dismissing the possibility of an alien abduction, the villagers decided that the village had most likely been infiltrated by werewolves.
Qgqqqqq addressed the crowd, nervous and shaking. "I have a confession to make. I am the Arsonist. Well, was." Qgqqqqq looked around, gauging the villagers' reaction. Their stoicism alarmed him. He shifted slightly. "...so please don't kill me."
"Fair enough," said Lewwyn. "You never seemed like much of a trickster, anyway."
Suddenly Azza screamed, shattering what little peace was left. He grabbed his head with both of his hands, then kneeled over. His muscles tensed. "Get... out of my... body! Give me back my body!" The villagers backed off, watching Azza squirm on the floor. His eyes were filled with rage. "Damn master... let me go!"
The villagers moved to another part of the house, leaving Azza to sort out his own problems. After pausing to watch Azza struggle, novice sheepishly asked "...so, where do we start?"
"Don't know," Mattimeo said quickly, his eyes twitching. "Wolves... wolves everywhere! In the walls, in the ceilings!" He pointed at novice. "Maybe you're a wolf!"
"Just calm down, Intelligence said there'd only be three wolves-"
"But there aren't! There are four wolves, five wolves! You're all wolves!" Mattimeo looked at the bewildered villagers.
"He's fakin," Gazglum said. The villagers nodded in agreement.
"No I'm not! I'm a town neighbor! And like a good neighbor, I'll be there for you!"
"Wait, a town neighbor?" novice replied. Mattimeo nodded in agreement.
"Liar! When I was born, a pair of doves flew overhead and a voice boomed from the heavens, saying 'You are novice, The Village Neighbor, with whom I am well pleased.'
The Village neighbor."
"What's a town?" asked Azza, standing calmly before the crowd, as if his spasms were just part of a bad dream. "Last night an angel appeared in my dreams, telling me that I needed to save the village. He didn't say anything about a town!"
The villagers agreed that this was sufficient. However, the gods had mandated that all murders must be by majority, through a simple hand-raising. When the time came to vote for whether Mattimeo should die, most of the villagers raised their hands... with the notable exception of Azza. Azza was grabbing his right wrist with his left hand. He grunted and struggled, but his right arm wouldn't move an inch. "Come on, just let me kill that bastard!" His arm still refused to budge.
The crowd carried the day, though, and by noon, Mattimeo was slated for execution. However, the gods forbade the shedding of blood during the daytime, and so the villagers waited until night. By afternoon, the villagers were napping soundly on Qgqqqqq's floor.
Lewwyn stood up and shouted, waking the villagers. "Lewwyn for Mayor! Vote for me, or I'll make you do it!"
"...mayor? We need one of those?" asked zakalwe.
"Hey, we've got a few hours to kill." said Lewwyn.
"Ehh, uberfish seems like a nice guy." said novice.
"I once went to this fancy restaurant called The Uber Fish..." said Jkaen.
"Wait, elect Gazglum! You will never go hungry again!" said Ryan.
After a few minutes, an official vote was held. Most of the village supported uberfish, with a notable minority supporting Gazglum, and a small but very vocal individual supporting Lewwyn.
The time came to vote for whether the villagers supported Gazglum. Azza yet again struggled, grabbing his arm, but in the end his arm shot up. The villagers counted, four votes for Gazglum and four for uberfish.
At that moment, a loud buzzing noise was heard, sending the villagers into pain. A loud booming voice from above shouted: "Gazglum shall be mayor. This I decree!" The buzzing stopped; the villagers knew better than to argue with voices in their heads, and so appointed Gazglum mayor.
Gazglum cheered. "My first decree: bathe in Mattimeo's blood! Rat soup tonight!" The villagers pounced on the sleeping Mattimeo, and there was much rejoicing. Later, while ransacking Mattimeo's house, the villagers found a radio and an invitation to the Mafia. Though the villagers did not find the Mafia's pot of gold.
Mattimeo, Mafia Neighbor, was lynched Day 1.
Gazglum was elected mayor.
