Any time now Assassinator...

Butterfly, stopped at the last second. Right as I was swooping down to try the direct approach for my kill, a quick stranGulation, Aia stepped to the side. You think I would have thought about that when I planned my swing, but alas I did not so I missed. What I didn't miss, however, was the window she was standing in front of. I flew straight through it. While I did receive minor scratches, I was still able to function and get away quickly before anyone had time to look for me. Before I left, I dropped a page of a notebook on the ground. It was the clue to my next victim:

Bacchus's teachers,
Calypso's sisters.
Some bright, One faded,
The world's just too jaded.

Ah poetry, the perfect media for cryptic messages.

Pleiades (mythology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about Greek mythology. The Pleiades star cluster also appears in many other mythologies — see Pleiades (star cluster). For alternate meanings see Pleiades (disambiguation).

The Pleiades (/ˈplaɪədiːz/, also /ˈpliːədiːz/), (in Greek, Πλειάδες /pleiˈades/, Modern /pliˈaðes/), companions of Artemis, were the seven daughters of the titan Atlas and the sea-nymph Pleione born on Mount Cyllene. They are the sisters of Calypso, Hyas, the Hyades, and the Hesperides. The Pleiades were nymphs in the train of Artemis, and together with the seven Hyades were called the Atlantides, Dodonides, or Nysiades, nursemaids and teachers to the infant Bacchus.

...

Several of the most prominent male Olympian gods (including Zeus, Poseidon, and Ares) engaged in affairs with the seven heavenly sisters. These relationships resulted in the birth of children.
Maia, eldest of the seven Pleiades, was mother of Hermes by Zeus and Iris by Thaumas.
Electra was mother of Dardanus and Iasion by Zeus.
Taygete was mother of Lacedaemon, also by Zeus.
Alcyone was mother of Hyrieus by Poseidon.
Celaeno was mother of Lycus and Eurypylus by Poseidon.
Sterope (also Asterope) was mother of Oenomaus by Ares.
Merope, youngest of the seven Pleiades, was wooed by Orion. In other mythic contexts she married Sisyphus and, becoming mortal, faded away. She bore to Sisyphus several sons.
All of the Pleiades except Merope consorted with gods.

I protect Pleiades.

i knew it was me from the part that said "some bright, one faded"

[vofbassist]

Well, then I protect Rocketman1555.

I accuse Aia of being the assassinator due to posting time, along with typing style and language use.

[ichaelm]

Ummm how could he have tried to assassinate himself?

[starpug]

Attempted Suicide has happened twice before and succeded once.

[ichaelm]

LOL what happens to the game when the assassin dies?

[vofbassist]

Nobody knows that they're the assassinator, so the game continues as it normally would. For all practical purposes, they could have used a body double to stage their death.
