Raiden whistles in amazement as he bends down to pick up bash's cloak, trying to avoid the remains of the explosion. "Can't even make out his damn face. But his cloak survived." He holds it out to the smoker, who waves it away.
"It blew PT into the smoke wall, too," Kleene sniffles.
"Oh!" The smoker looks up as if they had just remembered something. "She didn't actually touch it of her own free will, so I may be able to do something about that--" The smoker walks over to a hooded figure on the far side of the fire and carelessly tosses back its hood.
There's a shriek from one of the players. There is a clear glass orb where the unmasked figure's head should be.
The smoker whistles a weird tune, and smoke begins to swirl within the glass orb, forming into...
Conia gasps. "That's Gio's face!"
Gio's face swirls into nothing to be replaced by PT's. The smoker strokes the sides of the orb, still whistling, and begins to step backward, beckoning with their hands as if to tease the orb-man to follow them. The smoke mists up the orb and begins to leak out, clinging to the smoker's fingers and swirling into a vaguely humanoid shape.
The smoker's whistle becomes a hum and trails off as the smoke solidifies and gains color. Yuriko jumps up excitedly. "PT!"
PhoenixTears stumbles slightly, raising a hand to her head. "That--what the--"
"Congratulations on your freedom," the smoker says, bowing slightly. PT gives them the side-eye and turns to the rest of the group. "So...bash..."
"No longer with us," pipes up Moon Raven.
"But happily none of you will follow him at the moment," the smoker interjects. "Let's just...relax...for a bit..."
Their voice trails off. The group glance at one another.
"Did anyone hear that?"

Tie vote! No one was lynched!
PhoenixTears is no longer behind bars!
