Yeah, it's a throwaway. I had to hold my vote in case I needed it, and now I'm not happy jumping on either bandwagon.

EDIT:x'd with numerous.

With a total of 7 votes, BeiGei has been lynched.

Her role was Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty, thus making one Lover pair obsolete. With her death, nothing happens. Hephaestus may continue on his merry little way.

A proper narration will be up later throughout the Night.

As it stands now....

NIGHT 2 HAS BEGUN
Wolves may start PMing
Zeus and Hera may start PMing
Eros and Artemis may start PMing
Shirrifs may continue to PM

Wolves need to send me their kill
Seers need to send me their dreams
Persephone needs to send me their guess
Hestia needs to send me a name
Eros and Pan need to send me their protections
Artemis needs to send me their hunt

Will have the list of the live and dead with the death narration.

At the end of the Day, the Gods congregated once more in the Grand Chamber. There had been much speculating and discussion that day, almost enough to fill a short story with in fact.

Yet none of this seemed to appeal to Aphrodite...She seemed to be in a trance all day and did not show any sign of recognition, for anyone. She merely gazed up at the sky, starry-eyed and lost. Hercules tried to help her remember who she was and who Hephaestus was, but she just pushed him away. Athena and Artemis tried to engage her in a conversation on love, but she just brushed by them.

She just gazed, helpless up towards the heaven's, unsure of what to do. She went to her chambers to be alone...

It was not until everyone was settling in for the Night that they smelt it; fire coming from Aphrodite's room. Hercules, Athena and Artemis ran in but were too late...The fire had completely subsided, and all that was left were the burnt remains of Aphrodite (which was odd seeing as nothing could kill a God but another God), and most peculiar, a folded up piece of parchment in her hand. Hercules went to grab it, and her had turned to dust.

He unfolded the parchment and scribbled there, in blood was a broken heart...

The dead of the Night brought no calm for some of the inhabitants of Mount Olympus.

Apollo was in a trance, trying to see who was who. Hermes could be seen flying around, trying to gain information for his Masters. Zeus and Hera were sealed away in their bed chamber, plotting who knows what. Athena and Pan were out patrolling the halls of Mount Olympus. Even Hestia was out that Night, up to who knows what.

Nowhere on Olympus was safe anymore...

IT IS STILL NIGHT 1
Persephone needs to send me a guess
Eros needs to send me a name to protect
The Wolves need to send me a kill

The coming of the dawn brought no good news for the Gods. As they assembled in the Grand Chamber, they did a headcount to see if anybody else was missing. It was not until Zeus asked about his messages that they noticed Hermes was missing. It was odd for him ever to be late, especially since he also happened to be one of the fastest Gods on Olympus and he made sure he had punctuality down to a T. Yet he did not arrive.

The Gods scoured the mountain, hoping they would find him napping somewhere. It was not until the all gathered in the grand chamber that they noticed something peculiar behind Zeus's throne; there were feet poking out from behind it. As they gathered closer, it was not the only thing they noticed. It was Hermes, dead, the wings from his shoes sticking from his eyes. His fist was clenched, as if he was holding on to a message of great importance, but there was no parchment in his hand.

The Gods dispersed, feeling more morose and afraid then before. Day 2 of the Twilight was upon them.
