It's getting cold and the night is approaching. I shouldnt do this. I...

...

I have to go.

(Gambler walks into their house and packs a bag full of clothes, food, and a bag of dice and a deck of cards. In their pocket is a good helping of change, enough to buy somewhere to stay in another city. She grabs the bag and walk past their house, wandering into the forest of the outskirts. It's dangerous, but if they can leave, he won't have to worry about dying ever again.)

(On their door there's a paper posted. It reads [Sorry I can't keep my offer. I have to go. Maybe I'll see you all again one day, but I won't die. Save yourselves, and leave too.])

(Marionette enters the inn, visibly grimy, bags under her eyes, and with blood dripping from their nose)

(she looks around, and spots @minstrel-official wandering around)

Hey Minstrel, do you think you could help me get cleaned up? I fell asleep standing up and you can probably guess what happened next…

[clockmaker-official]

Hey, hi, hello! I just gotta ask, is the occasional headache caused by a loose gear really that big of a deal? I need to prove a point to Mez!

@cerenovus-official

Well, it could be a symptom of any number of different things. It could be totally harmless, it could be a nuisance, or it could mean you're about to drop dead!

[regular-noble-official]

Hey, my gears are all twisted and I need some time away from both those guys and my apparent “impostor syndrome.” Mind if I stay with you for a bit? Before I go mad?

@cerenovus-official

Stay as long as you like. My castle has plenty of space, and it's not like I'm using it.

[puzzlemaster-official]

@virginbotc-official, @lleech-official, you gotta get home soon, the sun is setting and we shouldn’t risk anything

[lleech-official]

I just want to talk with you. Outsider to townsfolk.

@innkeeper-official

Anything in particular to mention first, i have information from someone i trust dearly who can clear you and puzzlemaster, that only leaves a few of us,

any suspicions that can narrow it further?

(OOC: Longpost kindof? under the cut. TLDR the wizard made a wish and we yes WE as in you and me are cooked)

Gods of old and gods of new

Heed my one call unto you

In this circle o' hell and fire

Grant, in full, my one desire

In this town of good and bad

Of drunken fools, both dead and mad

Look upon the home of light

Which guides the lonely through the night

At it's core is naught but one

Who knows the lives of everyone

Look into that knowing mind

How they worry, oh how kind

Cure that person of their sorrow

Upon the morning of the morrow

For ignorance is truly bliss,

Have them "forget", that is my wish.
