Again, the end of the Day came and the Gods were ecstatic. They were sure they had found the final traitor amongst them. They threw Hephaestus in front of Zeus, who, without looking at him, snapped his fingers. That's all it took and Hephaestus was gone, nowhere to be seen. All that was left was a purple cloud of green smoke. Once the smoke cleared they noticed a little note where Hephaestus had been. Athena reached down and started reading it out loud for all to hear:

This is not the end!
For in the dead of the Night,
I have gained an ally!

The Gods looked around at each other and started to mutter. Their luck had not held out after all.

Dionysus crept through the halls silently, laughing at his victory. Fools, he thought to himself. Why didn't they go after the leader once Hera was gone!? He continued to sneak down the hallway to Zeus's chambers. Once he arrived, he noticed that the door was slightly ajar. He pushed it open carefully and looked around the room. This seemed to be the only room left untouched by Zeus's wrath at his wife's death.

He scanned the room and finally spotted Zeus, sitting at his window and staring up at the sky. Dionysus crept forward silently when Zeus spoke. "Do it, Dionysus. I know it is you. You always were easy to persuade. A bottle of wine here, a bit of malt there and you're won over." Dionysus stood in shock, taken completely at unawares. "What are you waiting for!? Kill me!"

"But why? Weren't you the one saying that you wanted to save our 'family'?"

"Yes, but I grow tired of this place. I want to see my wife and children again. Just do whatever it is you came to do." Zeus stood up and turned around, arms wide open. So Dionysus took it. He sprang around behind Zeus. With a thundering crack, Zeus's neck snapped and he crumbled in a heap on the floor.

-------------------------------------------------
IN THE MORNING

The Gods awoke and gathered in the Grand Chamber, as had been the ritual for the past several days. Yet something was amiss. Zeus was not there when they had arrived. They awaited his arrival, believing that he was just taking his time. Several minutes went by and he still did not show up. The Gods went to his chambers and noticed that the door was completely open. They stepped in and saw his body on the floor.

The King had fallen.

I'm not dead! I'm not dead! Yay!

....

Hold up. Why am I not dead?

....

I'm going to guess it's because Foley needs a scapegoat? Makes sense. (Of course the same could be said for Mira; she could want to keep me around because she knows I trust her more than Foley.) Either way, I'm of use to them, apparently. I'll be of even more use when I kill them, but I appreciate the gesture.

So....Nerwen, what do you know? Anything interesting?

I need to go to bed. Night, kids.

Excuse me? Nobody flat-out said you were Dionysus yesterDay. Nobody's said toDay, either.

Yes, ma'am. You and Sally both pointed hasty fingers:

And then right after that:

So don't get nasty with me and say, "No one accused you, you're imagining things because you're guilty." Face the facts, Nerwen - we're coming down to the end of the game. Everything's on the line now. You think I'm acting guilty because I'm scared of being lynched. Simple fact is, if I'm lynched, the game is over, God's lose, bang, you're dead, too. I'm also scared because not one scrap of doubt is being laid towards Mira when I know she's Dyonisus, and when there is evidence pointing her way. All Sally or you have ever said about me is, "That would explain the way she played. " I'm asking you, politely up to this point, "How have I played in a Dyonisus like way?"

Once I have time to post instead of work, I will show you how Mira has played in a Dyonisus like way. Which is better than what you all have done.

Geez. "I'll tell you what, though, that bit I just quoted does sound a lot like a panicking wolf-cub to me" my foot. You can really get whatever you want out of anything, can't you?
