night eight; hunters
Once again, as everyone remains locked inside with a raging blizzard outside, you awake at 11 PM precisely to find the door from your cabin open.
Outside, despite the sounds of a blizzard and the whiteout blocking the views from your window, the world is still and calm. The ground and trees are blanketed in thick snow, but no snow is falling and the wind is no longer blowing.
You're all familiar now with what awaits you in the clearing behind the woods, near the caves at the base of the mountain. Still, even if you thought to resist, you are unable to disobey the call that brings you to where your fellow hunters gather.
Several of the trees nearby have long pieces of parchment nailed to them. In case you'd somehow forgotten, the rules you are bound by are nailed there:
You are a hunter. Your role is to devour prey.
→ In this game, there are hunters, prey, and scavengers. Everyone here is a hunter, and everyone else is either prey or scavenger.
→ Every night, the hunters will meet and pick someone to kill. Then, a few lucky hunters will get to kill the prey themselves!
→ The next day, everyone will get together. The prey will try to find out who the hunters are!
→ At the end of the day, there will be a trial, and one player will be chosen. Whoever is chosen will be executed!
→ The hunters will win if they outnumber the other players or kill all of the prey!
→ Be careful and be smart! Don't let the prey know who you are, and try to make other prey look suspicious! Remember that some prey is dangerous to you. They might have special abilities that will help them find out who you are!
→ Always keep in mind the scavengers, too. Some of them may just be hunting YOU!
As a hunter, you have particular incentives.
→ In this game, the only ones guaranteed to live are those still standing at the end.
→ If the prey win, all of the hunters will be killed.
→ If the hunters win, the survivors can make a request. If you request all the dead to return to life, all players will leave this place unharmed.
→ The only way to guarantee everyone leaves here alive is for the hunters to kill the prey and win the game!
As hunters, you are sworn to secrecy.
→ You may not tell prey or scavengers about your incentives. You may not hint to anyone about your incentives. You may not try to help them figure it out.
→ If you are found out as a hunter, you may tell prey you were bribed or threatened. You cannot tell them about the special rules or that anyone can come back to life.
→ You may not help prey or scavengers. You may not assist them in any way. You may not attempt to throw the game. You may not reveal your fellow hunters.
→ If a hunter helps the prey or reveals the hunters' incentives, that prey will be killed. There will also be consequences for the hunters.
→ If the betrayal was intentional and serious, at the end of the game, none of the dead will be revived.
→ Otherwise, if there was a betrayal, at the end of the game the dead prey will be revived, but the dead hunters will remain dead.
As a hunter, you had a choice to play.
→ All of you agreed to be here.
→ All of you are bound by these rules.
→ All of you betray your own lives and the lives of the other players if you break them.
OOC: Please read this explanation of how night posts will work.

1) Our priority needs to be on finding the watcher. Without them, the prey will be forced to vote blindly or based on conjecture that we may be able to manipulate or control. Before Ema died, she revealed that the watcher investigated three people: the Doctor, Lithuania, and Ciel. Ciel is an obvious choice to investigate, but the Doctor and Lithuania are not, especially as neither of them were acting particularly suspiciously or stood out much during the trials. The person most likely to watch the Doctor early on is Clara Oswald; the person most likely to watch Lithuania is Ukraine. Spain is also a possibility when it comes to Lithuania, but I believe I would have been the first person he investigated, and he never gave any sign of knowing I wasn't a normal prey until yesterday. Ukraine is the bigger threat, as she may watch Prussia soon in order to try and clear the remaining nations. Prussia and I have also discussed killing a nation soon after I die in order to set up the illusion that I was the only one keeping the hunters off of them and there are no more countries among our numbers, so take that as you will.
2) Always keep in mind the number of hunters and prey remaining. We currently have two guns in our possession and will hopefully acquire more. Should the prey ever outnumber us by the number of guns we have, shoot them all in the morning.
3) PREY THAT VOTE REGULARLY: America, Beat (possible that Holden can control his votes), Charles Fei-Ong, Ciel, Gundam Tanaka, Joshua Kiryu, Lithuania, Rikku, Spain, Touko Fukawa (possible that Togami can control her votes), Ukraine
PREY THAT TEND TO ABSTAIN: Aoi Asahina, Bucky Barnes, Clara Oswald, the Doctor, Madoka Kaname, Mondo Oowada, Peggy Carter, Sanae Hanekoma, Sayaka Maizono, Steve Rogers
If there's no clear threat or target for the night, always kill someone from the first list. The less willing the town is to vote for people who aren't clearly guilty, the better.
4) Don't risk a night trying to kill America. Once I'm gone, the chances of him protecting only himself are extremely high, as his priority will be to get out of here alive and back to his people, not to mention he'll undoubtedly be furious at the town for a while for executing me. We can't afford a night with no prey deaths.
5) Elliot Nightray's role is still a mystery. Try to find out what it is and who holds it.
6) The longer Kirigiri stays alive, the more likely it will be that the town will start to suspect that at least one of the Hope's Peak students is a hunter and protecting her. In that case, see if you can push them towards Mondo or Aoi, but don't make yourselves look suspicious doing so.
7) Sharon and Kirigiri are our biggest assets as both a power role and the two people who will be least likely suspected by the town. Keep them alive.
Good luck. Remember the stakes we're playing for. Do whatever it takes to win.

So we go after Ukraine and throw suspicion off Prussia. If that isn't the watcher, we get Clara tomorrow. I'll be able to manipulate the Doctor, I think, if we have to take down Clara first.
