What, have you heard something other than, "Phantom is a jolly nice chap who is always honest, though painfully simple and slow-witted"?

You haven't been listening to Fea, have you? She tends to stretch the truth a bit.

Ha ha!

What gave her that impression?

*puts down wine bottle*

But about your guesses, Mac- nice to see them. I'd say they are as good as we can make at present time. But allow me to say, there is one thing that you appear to be right about, but the reasoning that I believe led you to your conclusion wasn't quite right. In other words, if I see a Cobbler, and think he's a Werewolf, and then call him "evil", I'm right, aren't I? But not quite right. If you get my drift.

*hic*

Nope. Not drunk at all.

And Boro- what are you hoping to see Thursday? What sort of opera will OU and FU perform? A thrilling tale with a surprise ending? Will it feature huge stars singing brilliant arias? Or will it be a dud, and leave the audience booing half the cast?

EDIT: x-post Boro

Sing once again with me, our strange duet
My power over you, grows stronger yet

More like "witty". That would be a better assessment.

All right, just to make sure I have my time correct, the deadline is in slightly less than 12 hours?

Aw. You're the best, Fea. Praise from the praiseworthy and all that.

Anyway, I'm going to bed. I want to be able to get up early enough to read all the new posts, comment on the posts, make a couple remarks I've been sitting on, and cast a vote that is not rushed.

Yup. It's at noon for us, unless I'm mistaken.


Oh, and my work schedule changed as of today (well, yesterday now, but whatever) so after the deadline toDay I'll either have to vote before I go to bed or right before I go to work, because I'm not a morning person. Hopefully the latter will be the case, although if it is it'll probably just be a quick vote post.

For now, though, I'm out. Have some writing to do before I head to bed. Or, if you prefer....

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night


Good night, dearies!


EDIT: Oh, and Phantom, I hope you're happy. I have that musical stuck in my head SO bad right now. *is loving it though*

Some thoughts...

Sally: Has said nothing but banter so far.
Lariren : Intrigues me. I always love new additions to WW and wouldn't dare lynch her for the first few Days.
Fea: Only four posts and her What Would Fea Do paragraph has given me a headache. But no need to dwell on that...I already know she's unpredictable and would expect anything from her.
Ilya: Not a whole lot from her yet, but she amuses me.
Kath: Only one post so far, but I'll be watching her. I know how sneaky she can be.
Aganzir: I really have no reason to suspect her....but then again, I wouldn't want to lose my status as her arch-enemy, so maybe I'll vote for her just because..
Gwathagor : Short one-liner posts, a tad abrasive. But I suppose that's no reason to suspect him since it seems to be his style.
Shasta: Has yet to show up.
Nogrod : Already starting to go at it with Gwath. Typical. About the whole double lynch thing...I think at this point it's more likely we would end up lynching two innocents than any critics.
The Phantom : Could be just about anything, as always. I wouldn't mind seeing him go early in the game simply because he can prove as a distraction. But I'd like to keep him around for at least another Day....just for entertainment value.
Menel: I feel pretty good about what he's said so far.
Strongbow: Not much to say about him, though I disagree with his first post.
Mac: Not sure yet. Might be innocent, but I'm pretty sure Rikae is a wolf.
Gollum: Only one post so far. I'd like to see some further explanation behind his suspicion of Bowie though.
tgwbs: Is an entertaining addition to our cast. It's been a long time since I've WWed with him and I have no desire to lynch him anytime soon.
Boromir: Doesn't seem suspicious so far. But I'm keeping an eye on him. Because I just can't let him fool me again..
Cailineomer: Neither have shown up yet.

Hmm...no one jumps out as suspicious yet. I hope to have a better idea of who to vote for tomorrow...

Welcome, dear friends, to our contest
The first that this kingdom has ever seen
We gather today, for a vocal display....

Listen to me, don't I sound rich?
Loud, am I not, plus I've got perfect pitch!
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything?

Listen to this, clear as can be,
You'll know I'm it when I hit my high C!
.....

I'm a world-famous coloratura!
My vibrato is second to none!
I'm a walking display of bravura!
It's so clear, can't you hear, I'm the one!


And I suggest everyone who hasn't already go and read the Movies in Fifteen Minutes version of Phantom of the Opera. Do it.

In less banter-iffic news, I cannot believe this game started so soon! I'm quite impressed. I'm back in my dorm room now, having moved back in (the break's over) and back with internet, so expect to be seeing a lot more of me.

Especially you, Phantom and Boro.

*stretches and tries to look straight*

The next days I should be around at the deadline, but today my schedule won't allow it, so I have to vote pretty soon.

I have to say I'm a tad disappointed at the meager number of auditions that took place while I was asleep, and more than a tad disappointed at their meager content. I was hoping to see a little bit clearer this morning, but that is not the case. With nothing better to go after, I will probably vote Menel.

Would anyone please act very, very suspicious within the next half hour?
