Scioly Assassination 58: A Killing Carol

[brobo]

Unless it was a red herring.

Logic, sir paleonaps. Obviously it had to be one or more, for if it was zero it would be a blatant lie. And what would you have said if it was a truly large number? Many can be a generic term meaning, perhaps the assassinator has killed anywhere from three to twenty. If the assassinator said "two or more", it would take out too many candidates and make the target easier to protect. No, I think "many" certainly refers to someone with at least three, and probably more, kills.

I have died 2 games in a row. I don't want to be out this early.

[zyzzyva980]

No one wants to be out this early. But I can find no conclusive evidence, or even any evidence at all other than fact that you play cello and claim to have mentioned to this before, that you are the target.

[paleonaps]

Search it with me as the poster.

[zyzzyva980]

You mentioned it three times prior to this game, and one of those posts say that you quit orchestra. Now you being the target really doesn't make any sense, for even if sassy saw that you played the cello, he would know that you had quit playing it. The stringed instrument part almost certainly refers to someone else if you really think about it.

[paleonaps]

Oh fine. Protect someone else.

[Paradox21]

Protect blue cobra.

[winneratlife]

Whatever.

I protect blue cobra because he plays a string instrument and was a former assassinator.

Let us now see another vision. This one starts with Paleonaps95 sitting quietly at home, studying his fossils...
Thump.
He looks up, and sees the arrow that landed not three inches from his temple. He spins quickly around, and looks at where his bow should be.
He turns around once more and sees me standing there, bow in hand, the string still quivering a little.
He takes a small gasp, and repeats the phrase to himself. "A string on wood vibrates..."
The arrow lands right below his heart- not quite a direct hit. With his last breath, he utters something that can not be repeated here, but rest assured that it was directed towards zyzzyva98 and winneratlife.

Perhaps this next scene will not end so violently?
Look here, the next victim doesn't make sense, but must die before they remember me.

No one protected my victim, so no one gets accusations. The offer still stands, though!
