I'll have to ask you pardon the double post, but I wanted this to stand apart from my epilogue rather than feeling tacked on. The game remains ongoing, so I won't offer any feedback on execution or mechanics or the like. I just want to give Ninja Squid a huge shout out for hosting, and to...
Four Years And Some Months Ago...
???: ...so... just what are, uh, ento... entisai... entosaiwe...? They're basically ghosts?
???: No and yes, curious one. Spirits of the departed, they are. That is the "yes". However, entosaiwe has particular connotation which is not captured by words such as...

Hmm... As a phylliikrei surrounded in the midst of a den, no words am I able to offer to quell your misgivings, unwise though they are. It appears the Tribe of Rogue affords me trust no longer.
...though, to call this assembly the Tribe of Rogue is a faleshood, is it...
: Is this so? Crucial are votes, and in these, the Draconic One and I are equal. Never have I made accusation against an innocent where the Draconic One had not.
: I offer now to use the Oracle's power to make undisputed proclamations for the town. Yet the Draconic One would have it silenced...
: You contradict yourself already, Draconic One. You say I am skilled in deception, yet earlier claim I had committed a grave mistake. Can it be both at once?
: And it is this which shows my innocence, and your deception. Any could break the tie to gain favor with the town, and appear innocent...
: Wise questions you ask, Nose-y One. The answers you seek are simple.
: I have placed no target on myself which did not exist already. I have claimed my role many cycles ago. It is public knowledge already. It is also known to the whole of the Tribe of Rogue that I possess the power of the...
: With ease can any falsely claim innocence.
: My claims are easy to disprove, and none have stepped forward to do so. It would be a great risk to contend the Violet-Eyed One (Coco) Innocent when no others would.
: Of this I am quite certain. There are those who dwell among us able to disguise...
: Your trust remains scarce. It is no mystery as to why. You are wise ones, versed in the doctrine of this portdwelling. Yet truth bends not in the winds of skepticism.
: So easy would it be to reprove me, unmasking my claim were it untrue. A bold move it would be to claim such cowardice were...
The levels of Wario Land 4 are paintings in the Golden Pyramid, resting place of the Golden Diva. Portals take Wario into these paintings. Are these warps to real places? Are they worlds within the painting? Are they merely paintings, but based on real locations? Who knows!
But perhaps the...
: Draconic One, you believe I hide myself when light shelters us from conspirators. This is untrue; I hide only when darkness entombs us.
: To make my meaning understood with ease. I hide only at night.
: My presence substantiates the claims of the Greedy One (Flotzo) to innocence.
: Let these threads entangle their prey true - Vote: Cloudwalker.
: Granting assumptions of truth to the claims of the Violet-Eyed One (Coco) as well, two yet stand without the scrutiny of empowered eyes. Let us...
: Sooner would I test one whose attunement is not so obvious. There is more to be gleaned from such efforts, and now that the cat has emerged from its bag, I am able to say freely behind who I will hide, so the results shall be known immediately.
: However, Higher Dimensional One, the pleas of...
