Night Zero:A King in His Court, A Jesterin his Midst
The Demon King Osa sits on his throne of lies, listening to his subordinates speak.
They tell the Demon King that the aristocracy is no longer the opposition in The Game. They explain to him that somehow, The Acquaintance has interfered and changed the rules. Now it is the citizens of the Underlund Capital, Lacitirc, to determine the outcome of The Game.
The Demon King Osa roars with unbridled fury. "If The Little Demon thinks he shall usurp MY rule of this land..."
And with great fire, The Demon King Osa joined The Game. You awaken to find yourself on a damp, cobblestone floor. You look around and see fifty-odd souls likewise waking and searching. You check your possessions...Gone! What sort of magic could-
"I am glad you could join us."
You turn toward the sound of the voice. A regal man, sharply dressed, sits on a crude stone throne. He adjusts his cravat, strokes his goatee, and leans forward, gazing directly at you.
"We aren't friends, are we? No, no we are not. But you do know me, yes?"
You feel a chill in your soul, but your mind begins to rationalize...
Of course! Yes, you have known this man all along. He is you Acquaintance, how could you forget?
"We are going to play a Game. No, not a game. But The Game." The Acquaintance smiles. "But for once, I am not the instigator of this action, but neither are you plebes. I am merely a stranger here who has put the peasantry at the reigns of their freedom! I have cast off the yoke of the oligarchy and give the command of your fate squarely in your hands."
Another smile. "Of course, not all of you are peasants, yes? Couldn't represent the city without some holders of the whip. But they are slaves too, they just didn't realize that their country had been indentured until now."
A vision enters your mind. The countryside, perhaps your home, perhaps you visited there, perhaps you owned property in the region. It hits your minds-eye like a cauterizing stone.
Fire.
The fields ablaze. The homes in ruin. Flesh torn. Lives ruined. The Underlund countryside...no, no this is hell. This is a hell beyond any Cartagran Paradise you have ever imagined. This is-
And as quickly as it entered, it is gone. The scar is fresh and will never fade, but the vision has mercifully ended.
The Acquaintance smiles again. "Now, find the devils in your midst. Seek them out and strike them down. And should you find Osa...well, he can be killed, but only at the end of things. But any fatal wound you do inflict will surely continue on...
The Acquaintance snapped his fingers. "Go! Tell me the first among you to die, I will gladly oblige. The blood is on my hands, but the stain is on your soul." Another smile. "So choose wisely."
HEY ACTUAL RULES TIME
The The Demon King Osa is present. He dies if the following two conditions are fulfilled:
1. He has been successfully targeted with a kill attempt. i.e. vote, etc.
2. No other demons remain.
You must kill The Demon King Osa for him to die, but the effect will not work until his minions are gone.
There will be an additional mechanic revealed at the end of the day. NO IT'S NOT THE PLAGUE.

The King... King in Yellow. Terrible play, great and terrible. It never should have come to Lacitirc. Written out, that's 'critical' backwards. Does it mean the Capital is secretly the key, or does it mean the capital is meaningless? Perhaps the meaning of this detail is, itself, meaningless.
What does anything mean anymore, with the King in Yellow around?

Greetings and farewells. I am known by many as The Acquaintance. Some of you knew this, all of you now know this, and most of you will soon be unable to remember this. Alas, your imminent deaths cannot be helped, and I do apologize for the inconvenience.
The events about to unfold for you have been predetermined. The faiths you hold tightest, be they scientific, theistic, or transcendental, cannot converse with my measure of control. You will play your roles within The Game as I have intended, and you will do so both unknowingly and willingly. As this cannot be made a fair contest, rest assured I will do my best to sincerely encourage your futile actions as you encroach upon oblivion. You can do it, little buddies! Ganging up and voting that person to death is your best chance at success because, statistically speaking, no matter what you do, you will always have the same 0% chance of success!
Everyone has the right to feel undeservedly content before their breath is halted and their entire existence is proven to be meaningless, after all. Now if you will all kindly excuse me, the Cretaceous era isn't going to kill all the dinosaurs by itself.

No, no . . . NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not THEM, why must they continue to torment me!? Wasn't it enough that they drove me from the army and took my home!?

Stay back!
Demons the Acquaintance says, perhaps these demons are associated with THEM . . .
HAHAHAHA, fine this beggar will play your game, I'll teach THEM! They'll regret driving this scholar from the academy!
