"You stupid piece of junk!" Von Ryuko shouts from the balcony.
"I had bigger plans for you than this."

DING! The clock rings at the top of the 3rd hour. "Well well well. We have finally decided to take the situation into control. Duke Leto it seems that your fellow Blue Bloods have voted unfavorably toward you." "So tell me, who among you has the testicullar fortitude to do the deed? Who among you has the ability to take a life from another?" The Ballroom is so silent you could hear a pin drop. People refuse to make eye contact as the akward moment passes... "I had a feeling this would happen. *Sigh* What a shame. I had higher expectations from this crowd." With that Von Ryuko reaches into his breast pocket ant retrieves a double barreled pistol. In one swift maneuver he takes aim at Duke Leto and fires. The bullet penetrates the Duke's ribcage and pierces his heart. The Duke is dead instantanoiusly. "You'll all be happy to know that you made the right call. After going through the Duke's personal belongings my servants have gathered substancial evidence to prove that he was infact a traitor."
"Oh, I am entertained alright! Watching your antics from the sidelines is making me wand to repeatedly bash my head against the wall! A pack of skilled chimps would have an easier time weeding out 3 Assassins and a Traitor from amongst your numbers than you Blue Bloods!"
The tone of the clock signals Hour 2. Everybody looks around nervously to see if anybody has died. You can cut the tension in the room with a knife. Yet surprisingly after a moment of silence, everybody concludes that again nobody has died in hour 2. Eichorn Von Ryuko shouts from his perch:
"That is some big talk my lady. I look forward to seeing how well you can back your words when it actually comes to dealing with the Assassins this hour. Will you be the one to cast the first vote? Will you kill your suspect yourself or have somebody else do it for you?
she calls out in a loud voice to their host on the balcony. "The thought of tricking nobles into killing Assassins, what a joke. My Lady, if I knew that there would be Assassins going after my awarded land I would have hired professionals to take care of the problem. Aristocrats make lousy killers. Why I bet the sight of blood would make a beautiful woman like you faint."
Eicorn clears his throat loudly and the musicians cease play immediately. "If I may direct your attention to the Grand Clock you will notice the hour has come to a close. Eichorn's timing is perfect. The Grand Clock begins to chime at the top of the hour. "Since we have come to a unanimous vote not to harm anybody, we will continue this charade until the Assassins have been purged. Unless you don't want your land that is..." "In the meantime I'll have you know my servants have gone through your luggage. They have determined with quite some assurance that among the lot of you are: 3 Assassins (1 Head Assassin, 1Stalker)
Because some of the baggage has not been labeled we are unable to determine with any certainty who is who, but I assure you it is being looked after. Until then carry on."
"Baron Eichorn Von Ryuko, you say that we should 'have some fun' while we sort this out?! You invited us here- you know who amongst us are legitimate guests and who are uninvited frauds. A man with your resources can sort his way through any faked papers or imposters with neigh trivial ease. If we are to vote to eliminate the one responsible for this chaos then my vote lays solidly with you! What sort of man could enjoy this ghastly spectacle?" "AH! but you are corected Professor. I do not know who among you is who, for you see anybody and everybody was invited. And though I could sort this out Ryuko's face grows sinister I find this method far more interesting to observe. You could easily vote for me but you'd be throwing your vote away. I make the rules here, and since I make the rules... I have complete immunity. It's no matter though. As I speak, my loyal servants are looking through your luggage. I'm sure there will be some clues as to the who's who in the matter.
"And to you, our generous host. Thank you for the opportunity to prove that a life lived in decadence does have a place in this world." Von Ryuko once again stands up. He places both hands on the railing of the high balcony and leans into it. He locks eyes with Taraz and with a devilish smile replies: "Trust me. The pleasure is all mine."
Oh, and I created an npc allias for myself... -DF |
