I've been reading the story over at S2C and I think I know who the sacrificial lamb might be! I'm thinking either S or Ophelia. I don't know why, but it sounds good to me!
PS. my username over there is emo_fairy

Those are both very interesting ideas. I'm not saying if you're right or wrong. You will find out, though. I will say this: the "sacrificial lamb" is female and one of the major characters. That only narrows it down to... oh, about ten or so people, eh?

Well, at SC2 DarkPhoenix hinted that names are important. It's clear that Ophelia Desdemona is a pretty ill-fated name as those were two Shakespearian females who died (suicide and murder) respectively. Ophelia was driven to madness (arguably) by the murder of her father by her lover. Desdemona was pure and faithful but was murdered by her husband who was manipulated into doubting her purity ("For if she be not honest, chaste, and true, / There's no man happy"). Yes, I'm mad about Shakespeare. This year I've studied more Will than my I thought ever possible. I really really hope it's not Ophelia though. Maybe it's another character whose name is not so blatant. I'm kinda hoping for Angela. I wouldn't mind if she was sacrificed. We could call it, "out with the old and in with the new, the restructuring of social order". If Angela were sacrificed in the name of modernity and progress, I would not complain.

But...Dunstan is such a perfect target for murder and disembowelment!

very true, I will turn my attention on him soon, pheonix, maybe could you do Ophelia beating the crap out of him? and maybe do a hidden chapter of her ordering a hit on him...

Sorry, Dunstan will live... but if it's any consolation, he will be dead in the sequel. Ehehehe. Still not saying who's right, or if anyone is right. But this death has been planned since the beginning, and I feel that their death is NECESSARY for certain things to come about.

so long as it's neither Ophelia nor Emily... because if I was Dustan, wanting to ruin things for Lia before she could spread the dirt on me, instead of going for her directly, I would start with the one's she loved most, step in Cyrus I don't want her to die though, she has a cool name and as for emily... well they are best friends, but does Dunstan know that? And after all, she doesn't know much apart from the fact that dunstan is a complete A-hole maybe Valo... I do wonder

All I'll say is that it will come as a big surprise to all of the characters. But, as I said, I've had this death planned since the beginning. Hmmm...

hmm... there's an idea, maybe the one who died literally sacrificed them self to save their friend??

Maybe, maybe not. But I've mentally rewritten the last few parts of the story numerous times, and the character has to die for certain things to happen.

damn it! you have to be so... stubborn? In which chapter does this happen at least? Can you hint that?

When the person dies? Hmm... second to last chapter, so far. The last chapter deals with the funeral and graduation.

and the choice, of course lol, I doubt it'll be like the one in dr who, pompei or the world... save pompei, 6 billion people die, save the world, 20,000 people die... but it may, because the wrong choice for her leads to the apocalypse...

By the way, I have the ending of the story already written. The very last sentence, as of now, is "Let's go." Also, it's pretty emotional, but in a good way. I actually almost cried while writing it, so I can only imagine how you guys will react.

looking forward to it, your writing is rather inspirational, it's given me ideas on stories of my own (sim and non-sim) it's funny, I have a few clothes I made that Lia might like, but some have yet to be uploaded, but mostly my creations stick to eyes...

Well, a lot of what I write is based off of personal experiences or things that concern or interest me. Chapter 18 has been a emotionally draining chapter to write, but I think once the newest update is up, the payoff will be huge.

The only thing I'm curious about is if the death is classified as a murder or suicide? Considering it's a "sacrifice", I doubt it would be a natural death because the word 'sacrifice' implies that they die for others to live and that doesn't usually go with natural passing.
I have my ideals of who it will be and knowing that it's a woman certainly makes it easier to muse over the possibilites.

The death will not quite be a murder... more like, death as a result of someone else's actions. Like I said, this person has to be put into this situation in order for certain things to come about. And there is great significance in who it is; you will find out just how significant in the very last chaper. Let's just say that it's very fitting, all things considered.
