Disaster strikes during the brownie round.

A faulty Pyrex, no longer made of borosilicate and instead the still highly suspect soda-lime, explodes when @ChaosMuppetPE takes their...questionable brownies out of the oven.  Luckily, their eyes are closed when they toss the dish to the side, preventing them losing their vision, but not everyone is so lucky from the subsequent spray of hot glass shards mixed with molten chocolate .

A cameraman groans as they limply drape their arms over a huge piece of glass  sticking out of their side.  A huge vat of whipped cream topping has been knocked over during the event, making the floor a slippery mess, and someone is attempting to wipe up the light pink-tinted foam.  The judges look slightly queasy, but don't move from their perches.  God knows what would happen to their image, and the competition paycheck, if they didn't anything outside their contract?

'Medic!  MEDIC!' Someone yells, only to groan when the movement causes the tear in the  corner of their mouth to open further towards their ear.  Blood fountains down towards their chin as they clamp their hand over the flesh that is barely holding together by bits of skin, the motion causing their tongue to push against their hand in a futile attempt to escape.  A garbled sound produces globs of spittle, which causes the remaining chefs to cover their bakes in an attempt to prevent cross-contamination.

They did not prevent cross-contamination.

There is an awkward pause until the director pipes up, "Where is @squaretaper PE?  This was part of their contract to actually respond to an emergency when a real emergency happened!"

As one, everyone turns to the epicenter of the bakeware explosion.

Tiny-pinpricks of light cover @squaretaper PE, almost looking like edible glitter under the high-powered studio lighting.  They had landed on their side, slumped over, and a pool of blood slowly begins to form from the multiple slivers that had occurred all over their body.  Vacant eyes stare forward and nobody wants to look too closely to see if those are tears or shards of glass rimming their eyes.

"Wait, one of the bakers was the on-site medic?  That doesn't...seem very well planned?"  @ChebyshevII PE questioned from their stool, tilting back in an attempt to prevent the pool of blood from touching their loafers that were gifted to them by someone ultra-famous that they couldn't say outside of DMs.

@RBHeadge PE shrugs, "I heard it was a budget matter."  @RBHeadge PE knew a lot about budgets.  They were quite smart in running their brand in most major cities around the world.  There was even a rumor they could convert currency and somehow always had the right exchange rate.

"What?"

"It was so they could pay us more to come watch this debacle." @Audi driver, P.E. drawls, tapping the tabletop so the intern assigned to the judges could refill their glass with a refreshing prosecco.  Drinking was the only thing that made this whole thing worthwhile.  That and the free hotel.

"Oh.  In that case, perfectly acceptable," @ChebyshevII PE responds, flipping out their phone so they can take a picture of their smiling reflection in a pool of blood with an artfully placed slice of devil's food cake within the frame.

quoting bc i can't ever find this

 
i want to change my vote to @chart94 in retaliation but then why would mafia vote me out if i keep voting out the townies unpurposefully :(

i'm a failure. you should all just get rid of me even though i'm a townie so it wouldn't help the cause.

This is gold. I nominate @JayKay PE for a Booker Prize.

 
oh, maybe it's just within a certain amount of time like they don't want me spammin

 
After removing the bodies, it’s time to resume the actual competition.

Excitingly, this round is a judge challenge, so hopefully people will be thinking too hard to commit any additional murders.  @RBHeadge PE decides on cocktail-themed cakes, because so far this competition has been everything, but a party and highly decorated boozy cakes have never disappointed.  Mostly the choice has to do with @RBHeadge PE wanting alcohol and currants, which is not that bad of an idea with what has been happening.  They’re just a little less lackadaisical requesting it, as opposed to @Audi driver, P.E. and @ChebyshevII PE, who have been drinking steadily through the network-provided spirits.

The staging area had been thoroughly disinfected, yet the tangy scent of iron lingers, unable to be filtered-out by the industrial strength air movers.  The bakers work in silence, the hum of mixers background noise to the jarring chop of knives on kitchen blocks.  Every once in a while, one glances at the others, shifting their body to cover both their ingredients and their vital organs, but nobody moves…until @tj_PE realizes then need more gin (not for their bake, they’re making a whiskey-based banana pudding, but because they just like gin).

As they step away from their station everyone tenses.  Nobody moves as they walk into the storage area, which is off-stage and out of sight.  There are a few minutes of choked quiet, the air thickening like gelatin in a cooling sauce pan.  They wait.  And wait.  And wait.

Just when they expect a spray of blood to cover the fresh produce, @tj_PE comes wobbling back out from the room.  An opened bottle of Beefeater is clasped in their hand as if it’s the only thing keeping them from floating away.

As they approach their station, a thump comes from @chart94’s station.  Everyone turns, expecting the worse, but instead they find @chart94 slumped against their table.  A goofy grin stretches their face from side to side as they place their hands on the surface in an attempt to stand up.  The sigh of relief at seeing one of the other contenders drunk is palatable, especially since they were making a rum-based cake.

As everyone turns back to their bakes, some beginning the soaking process to get even more booze into the crumb, another thud comes from @chart94’s direction. 

[SIZE= 10.5pt]A [/SIZE]crew member[SIZE= 10.5pt] approaches the inebriated baker to take them off the staging area, corralling the slurring mass of uncoordinated limbs, only to have chunky vomit cover the bottom half of their legs.[/SIZE][COLOR= rgb(53, 60, 65)]  [/COLOR][SIZE= 10.5pt]Dropping the baker in disgust, their own nausea rises when they realize that pieces of the vomit look too…fresh and fleshy to have come from breakfast.[/SIZE][COLOR= rgb(53, 60, 65)]  [/COLOR][SIZE= 10.5pt]With rising horror, they watch as @chart94 begins twitching on the ground, arms clamping at their sides and a snap as a single tooth breaks off due to their teeth clenching in pain.[/SIZE]

A few seconds later and it stops, their body going rigid with a sudden finality.

It’s funny how people don’t read the labels anymore, just going for what looks familiar and may impress the judges.  It takes a forensic team that was begrudgingly allowed on set between rounds to identify the antifreeze and ricin mixture that had been carefully funneled into the rum bottle used by @chart94.  The storage inventory is donated to the poor before being repurchased for the remainder of the baking rounds.

No further testing was completed prior to the donation, but the people watching don’t need to know that.

I remember looking at that piece of paper after every vote and thinking "what are y'all doing". I feel ya.
I only felt that way in the later rounds. The vote the first day or two is usually based on random chance so I don't fault anyone per se. Unless the townies start doing some major inferential reasoning or social engineering, they're going to be limited to random guesses for the rest of the game. They've got an uphill battle. My guess is that they'll eventually get one right. The mafia has it super easy the rest of the game. They just need to avoid unforced errors.

APPARENTLY I'VE ALREADY HAD TOO MANY REACTIONS TODAY?!??????
Yeah, you spent a lot recc'ing @ChaosMuppetPE when he tagged @Audi driver, P.E. in like 27 posts.

I can see why the site limits the recs, but it'd be nice to be able to make it unlimited on special occasions. I'll usually run out of recs an hour into results days. I try to rec everyone who gets a pass.

 
Think of it this way: it's two less PM threads that you need to read everyday. And you can prewrite the nightkill narrative as soon as mafia send you their choice.
I'm so tired by the time I write the regular lynching that I just go to bed.  Unfortunately, I've had early meetings the last couple of days so I've been unable to hit these stories.

GOT TO STOP SETTING THAT BAR SO HIGH AND JUST DO TWO SENTENCE STORIES.
