WW 249: Spy x Family – Day 7

Berlint never sleeps. Even at night, one can hear the one or two cars still driving around, the occasional bark of the neighbour’s dog, and if one listens closely, a few furtive footsteps echoing against the pavement.

A man walks in this night, minding his own business. At least, that is what it seems.

Figures suddenly end up behind and in front of him. He pauses.

“You’re a hard man to find,” one of them says.

“I try to keep my name out of things as much as possible. I find it best not to leave a trail if I can help it,” he responds.

“We know your game, and it ends here,” the other replies.

The man sighs. “It would have been better if you all had done away with each other. Would have made things much easier for me.”

“Why, so you could start a war? No, we are done with war.”

“And I am done with you.”

But before the man can make a move, he feels a sharp pain in his chest, and sees red slowly staining his brown suit. A wound that cannot be healed.

As he falls to the ground, he realizes his dream cannot be attained. The world he sought to create can never be in his sights again. He looks back on those he kept at arms length.

Would his wife mourn him? Would his sons lament his passing? Would those he had ruled over not that long ago spit on his grave? All questions to which he could not answer.

What will the world be made into without him in it? He wonders about it for a moment, until he lets out one last breath.

Laura K Cece has died. She was Donovan Desmond (independent secret voter).

A sigh of relief washes over the others. With the last looming threat defeated, the sun rises, and a new day is here.

Peace is never a guarantee, but it is something one can always strive for even in the darkest of times, and something one must never take for granted when it is attained.

Game over. Town and WISE win!

Thank you to everyone for playing. I will post some mod notes in the comments below because I’m sure y’all have questions.

Roles

Town

Town wins when either WISE or the SSS completes their respective win conditions, or if both are eliminated simultaneously, provided Town still has any numbers remaining and no other win conditions interfere.

  • Franky Franklin – Knows a thing or two, might be willing to share.

  • Fiona Frost – A capable spy who may do certain things for the sake of her crush.
  • Unnamed WISE agent – New to the scene, will get experience as they do grunt work.

State Security Service (SSS)

The SSS wins when all members of WISE and Yor Forger are eliminated, or if they outnumber all other living players, and no other win conditions interfere.
