And so the votes were scattered all over the place. The village was utterly bamboozled and had no clue as to what to do; they obviously never had werewolves to deal with before.
But so it was that Evisse the Blue attracted more votes than any other villagers.
"I can't believe what you're doing!" she cried, as she was led to the noose. Alternating between disbelieving laughter and anguished tears, she was a hopeless and sorry figure.
"Even if you do go ahead with this and hang me, I wish you well, and hope that you save the village. Please, go to my house." Such gracious and baffling last words, and she was met with bemusement by her fellows. They glanced nervously at each other, completely terrified by the scene unfolding in front of their eyes.
With the noose tight around the fishmonger's neck, the lever was pulled, and in the stony silence of the dusk, everyone heard the sickening crack of Evisse's neck. She hung still, and didn't move again.
The villagers wailed in realisation of their mistake, but the anguish that followed was even greater. Please, go to my house. What did that mean?
They quickly scampered to Evisse's small house, forced open the door, and after a quick search were positively shaking in fear. The books, charts and apparatus of the late Evisse the Blue told no lies: the villagers had murdered the Seer they did not know they had.

NIGHT 2 has now started. It will end in 24 hours' time at 6:30 PM GMT (that's 1:30 PM EST) and (12:30 PM Central) on Sunday, or earlier if all night-time business is received by me before then.
*Just a reminder: there's no talking during the NIGHT. The Hunter, the Guardian and the Werewolves (although amazingly not the Seer!) are the only players who have duties to perform. Thanks.*
