As I walked out of my house this morning I saw that 4 more people had died over the night. Deodat Lawson, GhostHouse, Lilliandria and Gandalf. We were a recently formed town but we were already 6 down after 2 nights. There was now 5 of us left and we had the chance to get one of the last two killers during the day. All I could do was pray that we didn't screw this up as I was certain to die in the next night. As we went over the deaths of last night, I saw one of the few people I trusted laying on the ground. Luckily he was what he said he was, people often lie about who they are in this town. He said he was a Medium and that he could communicate with the dead. Another two had died needlessly as the Vigilante and Jailor had executed a a slightly suspicious neutral and a fellow town member. The last one just died, people say it was like the soul left his body. Once we had gotten through all the dead people's wills and the death notes left on their bodies, Jolly the supposed Vigilante yelled "Oh god, I'm gonna die tonight! I shot the wrong person!" There was another person called Kathleen probably still shouting racial slurs but we all ignored her because she was just a silly Jester and no one had the guts to kill her. We were all standing around the center of town thinking about who needs to die next. I said "As I'm confirmed town, who do we lynch today?"
"How are you of all people confirmed town?" said Aviana. I responded "I said that I killed Stego 3 nights ago, didn't I?" I wondered if the remainders of this town were smart enough to remember that. Apparently they weren't as none of them did and I think they started to doubt me about it. I hoped that it wouldn't push them to lynch me but luckily it didn't. We decided to go for the guy that wasn't talking but as soon as we did he start yelling about he was the Jailor. Kaisegen, the real Jailor piped up and backed our decision to vote for him. He was hanged and the Jailor revealed that he was a Serial Killer. We all said goodnight and left to go to bed. As the others were all sleeping, I crept to Jolly's house with my gun and walked inside. No one ever locked their doors at night because even though we could get killed, we could also be saved or cleared as a town member. It was a risk worth taking most of the time. I caught him just as he was preparing to leave. "Huh? what are you doing here?!" he said in a panicked voice.
"I've come to kill the wanna-be Vigilante. You didn't kill the wrong person yesterday but you're still going to die tonight." I said with an evil look.
"What do you mean? You're not the last killer are you?!" he responded while looking around for help.
I smiled, "I'm not the killer, I'm the Vigilante...."
