World is on fire
It's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water
Try and bring my share
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
-Sarah McLachlan, "World On Fire"
The music in my head has always been a little unusual, some might call it quirky or diverse. But it's worked - it's been an environment that engenders thought. And now - something's changed. I can't think any more - the music's dying, bit by bit. Something's killing it, breaking it down, murdering inspiration and energy in equal measures.
Help me.
Please.
The scene inside the mind is a little different - the grand central chamber, a ballroom beaten out in glass, gold, silver and stone choked with throngs of people, collapsed against each other on the floor. There's no song, no dancing, just nervous murmuring. The Muses take the stage - a quartet, the rulers of this solemn, sacred space. They arbitrate, control, administer. "Calm down, calm down everyone," they ask in harmonic unison. "We are not sure that anything is wrong...certainly these recent disappearances are unnerving, but we will do our best to understand and deal with this issue." They continue, but any further words have been obliterated, shut out by the high, girlish scream that comes from a nearby hallway.
Everyone turns and looks in alarm: Vow's voice is...was unmistakable.

Posts
If you are dead, you may not speak to any other player, LIVING OR DEAD, about the game. One dead post is acceptable, but it should be nothing more than “Oh crap I died.” or some variant thereof.
No anonymous contact. All PMs or messages outside of the forums must be done with full disclosure of your forum identity.
You may not use screenshots to “prove” anything to anyone.
You are free to create Proboards, make sure you give me access so I can examine them. You can send in orders by Proboard; if there is a conflict, PMs override the Proboard.
No direct sharing of role PMs.
Vote to lynch someone in red.
Clarifications in orange.
Vote close is at 11 pm EST.
Game mechanics:
Order of Actions: Primary actions occur first, then secondary actions, and finally tertiary actions. Special actions may occur at any time.
Gender: Each role has a gender - male, female, both, or none. Some effects may only apply to roles of a specific gender.
Remix: Some abilities in the game possess the ability to remix players, granting them new or changed abilities and/or qualities.
Whim & Whirl: Each day, the mass of music in my head will pull something out of the mind to focus on. The song chosen will provide an additional effect for that day. Effects are generally quite powerful; they can harm or hurt the village.
A list of the songs that can be chosen from follows:
Amon Amarth - Free Will Sacrifice
Anaal Nathrakh - Timewave Zero
Anthrax - Room For One More
Arsis - We Are The Nightmare
ATB - Miss A Day
Billy Talent - Red Flag
Bloodbath - Ominous Bloodvomit
Boards of Canada - Magic Window
Bruce Dickinson - Kill Devil Hill
Children of Bodom - We're Not Gonna Fall
Chimaira - Inside The Horror
Cradle of Filth - An Enemy Lead The Tempest
Dark Tranquillity - The Endless Feed
Dead Can Dance - In Power We Entrust The Love Advocated
Delain - Day For Ghosts
Emiliana Torrini - Telepathy
Husky Rescue - Nightless Night
Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch
Khoma - One Of Us Must Hang
Throwing Muses - Bright Yellow Gun
Sourcing: All songs (from which roles and game concepts are developed) are taken from my listening history, available at http://www.last.fm/user/Arivia. No roles are generated at the artist or album level, and no roles have been generated from soundracks (Yuki Kajiura, Shoji Meguro,) or long narrative works (Jeff Wayne, Stuart McLean.)
There is no generic villager pm. Most players however, do lose the game when outnumbered by inimical forces to music, and win when those forces have been eliminated. This is not a faction phalla.
(Just kidding, it's awesome.)

"Oh, what kids do in their spare time these days..."
My value has dropped
But don't shed a tear
Network heads walk like they own the place
Whilst others creep in fear
So try if you can to walk like a man
But you don't come near
You've got to fly like an eagle
Prowl like a lion in Africa
Leap like a salmon home from the sea
To keep up with me
You've got to walk like a panther tonight
Music in Common - REM and Sigur Ros

You poor soul. How does it feel to be a member of the AARP (or so Cosmo tells me)?
