(Sorry for the long wait, it was the weekend and I've been think about what I want the scene to be. I'm really not sure, so I'd like to resolve the scene instead and I guess it lets someone else establish my scene?)

Potenial angles
Angry crowd outside of Thomas's door
Thomas goes to confront Silence/Preacher/Tace about the current revelations
Thomas realizes that more evidence is out there and goes to retrieve/destroy it
We make a heartwrenching flashback about Thomas's past that ensures something truly awful happens regardless of the die chosen

Since Thomas has wavering faith anyways, maybe a scene of him flip flopping between choices.
- Running away into night, or not.
- Putting into action plans to kill: preacher, silence, or even tace or not.
Something like that?

I like the sound of that. It's been established that Thomas has a hunting rifle too and everyone knows that once a gun is introduced into a story, someone is going to get shot.
So, let's say that Thomas is packing up everything to run away and someone catches him and confronts him about it. Tace, probably?

(Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people)
----------------------
Scene: Salem 1692 a few hours after court lets out.
Thomas has done some thinking and a little drinking and realizes that alot of what he said in court today could be viewed as a confession. Afterall, why would they take his word over the preacher's. Thomas would surely be tried and hung for the murder of a child. And even if he wasn't, Tace would never forgive him now that she knows. How could she.
Best to get out of Salem, and quickly. Under the cloak of darkness.
With his gun and essential possessions on his person, Thomas slinks out into the night, to the edge of the woods, to the base of a tall oak. His usual meeting place with Taciturn.
He begins digging near to the tree and it doesn't take long to find what he is looking for. A small wooden box buried in the dirt. Carefully he opens it and reaches in to withdraw the money inside. The money that he and Tace had been saving up to make a better life for themselves and their son.
Enough for Thomas to hop a ship back to England perhaps.
"Thomas I've been looking all over for . . . what are you doing with that box?" Tace's voice comes from behind him, first a tone of worry, and then one of suspicion.
Again, caught off guard and nervous, Thomas' hand instinctively moves for his rifle with a quickness.
-----------------------
Something like this I guess. Yakumo can add onto it to extend the scene or we can bring it to a turning point where he can pick the die, or we can just continue like normal cause no one gonna argue the rules here lolol

[Thanks Shakes]
Thomas drops the gun as quickly as he raised it and moved forward to embrace Taciturn. She can smell more than a little of the whiskey on him. "Tace, thank God is you. We needta ged outta 'ere. Anywhere, outta Salem, back to England if we havta. This is the Devil's land. Les use the money we saved up for it." Thomas slurs his words together and doesn't seem to remember the gravity of telling her and the whole courtroom that he killed their child.

[Not seeing a real turning point here or a reason for me to step in - because I don't think we add characters, but the person does to their scene. But perhaps the following could occur; - Preacher could show up, drunk as Thomas and enraged.
- Silence could show up and want to either go or keep Tace (but maybe he wants to finish the Preacher first?)
- The real devil of Salem could stumble across the lovers in the woods....

other characters can show up whenever if it doesn't interfere with plot flow or timeline, at least as far as im concerned. I like everyone to be a part when they want --------------- "No Thomas, I will not leave to a place I've never been. A place where you are still wed to another woman in the eyes of God." Tace turns her back on Thomas, "Go, take the last bit of everything I have and be with HER again. Go because you will find no warmth here." -------------- Yah potentials for endings preacher could show up Silence could show up convince Thomas to help take care of preacher Thomas leave to England and replay scenes in flashback Thomas make some grand drunken romantic gesture to keep Taces affection In any event I dont mind if yakumo wants us to pick the die so he can end the scene or if he wants to pick and have us end it |

"Taciturn. Honey... you know I couldn't ever leave you. Yer not like HER. I love you... What can I do to make all this right with you?" Thomas grabs Tace's hand and waits for a response.
(Anyone can enter if they please. I figure I'll leave it open for shakes to betray loved ones too)

(Lol the preacher would've appeared by now, but he got stuck in all the sappy love crap. He's entangled now, no DEX mod, take your attack. :-)
Nothing to add, keep playing it out. If needed, I'll cast white die. )

One question, need to know if yakumo is picking the die and letting us decide the ending or if he will determine an ending based on die color we pick.

"Watch yer hands," calls out a voice from the shadows as a battered and bruised Silence enters the scene. "You don't exactly have a good track record around innocent things if I might point that out."
Eying Thomas, but mostly Thomas's gun Silence raises the stakes on the scene. "Running off don't make any sense anyway. From the sounds of everything I heard, the Preacher owes you a debt. And bloody one at that. A real man wouldn't run from that without collecting. Seems to me that a bullet in there needs to find its home. Maybe if you did that Tace would find you man enough to cross the ocean with. If she's Christian enough to forgive your sins."

[We need some badness here, what can we stir up?]
[Silence notices Thomas looking flaky and wrestles the gun away from him, saying that its better if he handles it?]

Thomas never gets to hear any reply from Tace. As Silence comes onto the scen, Thomas feels Tace pull her hand loose.
"Gimme that," Tace grabs their box of money and hurries off into the night.
"Gimme dat," Silence grabs violently for Thomas's gun, takes hold of it, and hurries off into the night.
