One Among Us [A Mafia Game]

Dark blinked gratefully at them. "Thanks." He murmured.

Frost flipped her tail. She didn't want to get in the argument about Dark. Personally, she thought Dark was innocent.

The frail white and green pup shifted nervously on her paws. 'A murderer?' She thought fearfully. 'Who could it possibly be?' She wondered, rainbow eyes glancing around at the other PPS animals. "I-I better wait a little before I jump to any conclusions." She muttered aloud to her black cat. The feline rubbed against Genesis' legs, trying to comfort the frighted puppy, who sat down with a sigh to think things over.

Shadowshade squeaked in fright as he heard his name being spoken. "What - Why me?" he stammered, though probably nobody could hear him. He scanned the crowd to find the speaker - and spotted a small white dragon. He trembled - why a dragon? Didn't they... breath fire? He shivered - then glanced over to where Dark, a pup, and a small horse. They seemed to be talking with Dark... Wouldn't a killer keep himself hidden not to reveal any answers? He tried to listen in on their conversation about Dark - "What kind of killer would purposefully go out with a scythe and a cloak when everybody else knows there's a killer around?" "Well, my scythe was a gift my parents gave me, before they died in a plane crash." Shadowshade shivered - Dark's parents died.... but could it be just a cover to what he was really hiding? But now, after hearing the three talk about Dark.... It seemed he wasn't that bad, at least.... Shadowshade realized he was nibbling his hoodie again - he quietly stopped then glanced over to the three animals again. Dark would probably hate him for jumping to conclusions.... and that little white dragon probably hated him already - wasn't that why she chose him? Maybe, if he changed his vote, Dark wouldn't hate him... But someone else would. This is so confusing! he thought, then decided to be brave, like his parents said... would have said. He secretly felt empathic for Dark - Shadowshade's parents had abandoned him because he couldn't grow up to be the dog they wanted to have.... At least the mayor took him in. He wasn't really sure why everyone seemed to hate the mayor - he gave them a place to live, so what? If Shdaowshade had to 'rule' the town, then he'd probably be annoyed, too. Just not hating the mayor was a good enough payment for being taken in? Shadowshade couldn't really bring himself to hate - anyone. Even the killers should have a good reason for killing... Right? Nobody just goes out to a village and kills everyone there for something they enjoy.... But why couldn't the killers just... not be killers and do something relaxing, like something peaceful... Yoga, perhaps? Or sit at home with a nice cup of tea, and maybe have a meal with a pretty dog... like Lightbreeze? His head jerked up as Lightbreeze penetrated his thoughts. He looked around wildly and spotted her - was she staring at him? He quickly turned away from her so the slightly ragged side of his hoodie didn't show. Trying to pretend he wasn't staring, he decided to be brave, for once, and walked towards the three animals. "Hi?" he said quietly, hoping they wouldn't chase him away for voting for Dark.... But if he changed his vote, then what would happen? He shuddered a little then realized he was standing near them - he quickly tried to act as if nothing happened.

Dylan nudged his sibling (Note) playfully before snapping into attention at the PPS cub's words of a mysterious murder and citizens of the town being kidnapped. His tail went down, brushing against the dirt. 'Who could have been crazy enough to have done that?!' he thought and felt fear wash over him at the thought of being attacked by the murderer. "People are saying that Dark is innocent, so I'm not sure who to choose..." he murmured to himself and his ears twitched as he listened in on the conversation the other PPS were having. Dylan was suspicious towards everybody except his brother, Note, as they shared a brotherly bond and he could never imagine his brother doing that. Lightbreeze seemed very angelic and innocent, almost too angelic... He felt strangely compelled to vote for her, though he wasn't completely sure of the reasoning. "I-I vote Lightbreeze!" he said above the crowd, almost as if he wasn't controlling himself. 'Why did I say that? Lightbreeze seems so sweet...' he thought and felt a sharp pang of guilt wash over him.

Shadowshade nearly fainted when he heard someone call out Lightbreeze's name. "I - How -" he began, then he gave up on trying to speak and spotted the cat who had spoken. "Lightbreeze is innocent... She can't be... the killer?" Shadowshade murmured, trembling. He glanced back at the trio again - did they notice him? He stared at the cat - then shivered again. What would happen if Lightbreeze... was taken away from him, never to be seen again. He tried to hold back tears and turned to the three animals again. "I - I'm Shadow - shade, and... hi." he tried to speak again, his throat clenched tight.

[MidniteScy]

Dark whipped around. "Uh? Oh, hi!" He said, noticing the pup standing next to him. "Errm, what brings you here?" Let's hope he's not here to interrogate; I get the impression he voted for me.

[20lait1]

"Erm... Hello!" Shadowshade managed to squeak out. "Well... Whodoyouthinkisthekiller?" His last sentence merged into one word. "I mean... Who do you think is the killer?" he squeaked, immediately feeling afraid. Oh, why did I choose to talk to so many animals at once? he ranted silently in his head. Any one of them could be the killer!

Strife was a bit hesitant to vote..Nobody seemed to be acting out of the ordinary.
Sighing in frustration, he nuzzled the tiny, wobbly fawn that always followed him around, trying to calm its fretful bleats.
When he found the little one injured and separated from its herd in the woods, his original intention was too..Well..Let's just say he was really hungry at the time.
But something stopped him. Instead, he nursed her back to health.
He didn't really know why..Perhaps it was the fact she reminded him of himself.
Lost with no parents or family, having to face the terrors of life alone.
They were an odd pair..
But despite their differences, Strife had grown fond of the fawn.
Breaking from his thoughts, he once again swept his gaze over the crowd.
Might as well choose randomly, they had to come to a decision.
"My vote is Frost."
There was something about her that threw him off. Her seemingly innocent look or the fact that Strife never liked dragons, which one, he wasn't sure.

Frost nearly shrank back into herself as she heard her name called out. She shifted her claws a bit. Why did there have to be a murderer? Couldn't everything be normal? What if they took me? Her thoughts confused her. What if they were true?
