A little subdued, the Ascendants retreated to their hideyholes and fortresses to wait out the Night.
The Night was quiet. More than one Ascendant awoke in the Night, staring out at the blackness of the sky and wondering what noise had awoken them. Only the most reflective of them realised that it was not a noise, but the absence of a noise, that affected them. This Night, the lonely howling of a wolf did not break the silence; accustomed as they were to hearing the cry, its absence roused them from sleep.
In the morning, the Ascendants gathered in the square, ready to send another to the House of the Azath. Unsurprisingly, they saw all eight that survived the Seventh Day were still alive.
No deaths occurred last night.
Thus ends the seventh Day of the Malazan Game of the Fallen

I ended up away for most of yesterday thanks to my cat deciding that it would be a good time to go into liver failure. Long day at the emergency vet, culminating in me having to put her to sleep.
So I didn't actually get a Night action in--I thought I had until tonight. Sorry about that.

I'd like to remind everyone that their Day actions need to be into MHaye and I by the 8:00 deadline today.
Oh, and you guys might actually want to start voting. Or not. It's not like the rules require you to do so.

Oh, yeah. Voting. hrm.
Not going to vote for anyone who expressed their condolences for my cat. Nor will I vote for myself.
That leaves...
Guiri, an Untan merchant peeker, a babbler sinjin, a Tiste Liosan priestess Zeriel, a man frequently mistaken for a female
Priestesses sound important, and I like drag queens. That leaves Guiri and peeker, and of the two, I think I'll keep the former around.
Vote: peeker

Yes I know why. You've decided to get all paranoid on me in the home stretch.

As a total aside, I wonder if it says something about the nature of this game that almost every woman in it is still standing at the end.

It means that the Authors are trying to get into your pants.
Ok, keeping Cookies around was probably a dubious decision.

I hope you're on my side, Guiri. Those votes are rather conspicuous, and I'm referring to all of them.
vote: peeker[/color]
Sorry, peeks. You know I was trying to make it work, but I couldn't get past the "let's make it a draw" thing. I haven't won a mafia game (or anything like it) in a dog's age, and I have to at least try, and you would not help with that. I hope the genesis of that was actually that you had decided to work against me, because otherwise I feel like kind of a jerk.
Regardless, it has been a pleasure, whatever happens.

nphase -- did you know your vote was going to count double? the fucking ghost of pleo haunts my dreams. but not really. woot woot. and i am sure that everyone knows that i played this straight up. normal is dead on. i decided, in my mind, that a draw was the most acceptable outcome for me personally (not in every game state but just because for this game). you wanna kill me for spreading the love around? my whole goal was to get a win for maha and guiri. shoot i just wanted a newbie to get to the circle. fuckers are the only ones that can change the vote story kind of stasis that i have devolved to. even though i worked my ear off for him this game. fucker owes me a dinner. and it better not be mutton that i won't like, hal. better?

[oog]
and just because i feel i have not been contributing enough.
so i am at the hospital and this "healthy" woman approaches me with: "my daughter just called pulled over and has some outstanding warrants and i can't find her".
hospital on top of a hill, btw.
she is tired of walking around looking for her. so sure, peek is going to go searching. i thought about drving and then thought, fuck that's dumb as shit so i start walking.
down one hill (another story on that coming up). no lights, no nada. fuck, mom is like they have already run her so what up?
go down the other hill and, voila, there be police. hop into the cruiser (man he was pissed about that) and it's like give me fifteen minutes to track down mama (daughter already hauled off). jog back up the hill and find mama and say it's way the fuck down this other hill.
get car, save towing fee, all is right in the world.
woot woot.
one of these days i am going to write a fucking book.

[oog] another totally fucking hilarious situation, imho.
so mom sick as shit sits up from a nap and wants to know why the palestinians and jews (her word) can't get along.
peek is like, i have no clue.
she then proceeds to tell me the worst overheard joke in the world.
the one where the dude keeps running into people and they say he looks horrible and is response is that he feels great.
so he goes to the doc and the doc finally concludes.
looks horrible, feels great, you must be a vagina.
i know it is tired but having that come from an 87 yo alabama genteel lady made me blow coffee through my nose.

my whole goal was to get a win for maha and guiri. shoot i just wanted a newbie to get to the circle. Thanks Peeker! It would be nice to win for once. It would also be nice if the mods simply ended the Day with "everyone's a winner" and we could share the glory... ... but this is mafia (or sort of) and someone has to win. As long as the two of us are alive but not in the same primary clan, no-one will win. One of us has to go. Vote: Guiri

well this is probably not the smartest thing to do from a self preservation stand point but .....
vote chinlee
it's peekkid#2's chinchilla and peekkid#1 who has been taking care of him (it?) doesn't want to dick with him (it?) anymore. so peekkid#4 has volunteered to take care of him (it?). which means that peek most likely will be dicking with him (it?) on an ongoing basis.
is there an unspoken universal rule that says that those that care the least about this kind of shit is the person who ends up being primarily responsible?
jeezus on a popsickle stick.

otay. the band plays on.
fucking chinchillas can't get wet because according to peekkid#1 they get mold (i swear i am not making this shit up). so they have to take dust baths to remove their body oil but have real weak hearts so all versions of peekcats are now off limits from the front bed room. good fucking luck on that puppy.
peekkid#4 has assured me that she will take care of the beast but that she won't be around for the next couple of weeks because of vacation with exmrspeek#2 and then she has some other nonsense that is occurring. so could i please take care of this thing for a couple of weeks/months and then she will step up.
peekkid#2 has already called and said: "don't kill my chinchilla" so the pressure is definitely mounting.
the cage that this thing comes in is about 4 feet tall and easily as wide and deep but it has a "traveling" box so transportation will be merely driving down I35 with this shit hanging out of the back of my car.
so if you see a late model buick le sabre broken down between austin and san antonio with a deranged cpa and a chinchilla please stop and get me a starbucks.
kthnxbye.
