WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Day Three, the Musical

Early in the Morning, before most of the village had even considered getting up, the were-ducks and their duckess-in-chief Mnemo met to discuss strategy for the Day. When Mnemo joined the band of baddies she heard Wilwa and another feather-faced female joking about Legate's body, which had started to sprout cucumber plants. She recognized Nienna in the Dawn light and approached the group, smacking Nienna on the shoulder to get her attention.

“Let's get down to business, make the village gone
Did they send me hatchlings when I asked for swans?
You're the saddest player I ever met
But you can bet before we're through
Nienna, I'll make a duck out of you”

“But I've been watching games for a long time,” Nienna protested. “Just ask Fea or Lari or Mira....oh wait, never mind. The point is it's not like I have no idea what I'm doing.”

“Trying to impress me, you're never going to win
Even with good flock mates you're too weak to swim
You're a spineless, barely feathered girl
And you haven't got a clue
But still I'll make a duck out of you.”

Nienna was struck speechless by Mnemo's reprimand and was silent for the rest of the meeting, going along with all the others to have a drink afterward. As she drowned her sorrows in a glass of 80 proof A- (which if anyone asked was just some hardcore red wine) she sighed, lost in thought about how much....well, how much being the new player sucked.

I'm never gonna get a kill
Which I wasn't such a newbie
Really wish I'd posted more about Tree Limb

She giggled at the thought, and was just starting to enjoy herself again when Wilwa ran in, shrieking about the uncloaking they had seen together last Night before she died.

The smile on Nienna's face disappeared instantly and she gulped down the rest of the 'wine', nervous and uncomfortable enough that she went on a walk to calm herself down.

This apprentice found our Wil
Hope she/he doesn't see right through me
Now I really wish we hadn't attacked her/him

She saw Mnemo sitting on the porch of the old bakery, munching on some lady fingers. (Again, if anyone asked, Mira had lost them in the fall down the well.)

“Mistress, what do I do?” she asked hesitantly. “We're down two flock mates in less than two Days. I may not be the most experienced player, but it's time I did something bigger for the flock than just trying to keep Shasta and Mira apart.”

Her Duckness smiled and replied, “You know what? Maybe you are ready.”

(Be a duck)
I've been so careful, not dreamed or hunted
(Be a duck)
With strength that's doubled just by the moon
(Be a duck)
I'll be as clever as seer or hunter
Uncatchable as a were-duck (or a loon)

Nienna stepped away feeling confident, and as she saw the rest of the group walking by she shouted to get their attention, standing up on a railing to make her speech.

“Time is racing toward us till the lynch begins
Now's the time to vote Mith, sink or swim”

Some of the escapees agreed and Nienna grinned as Mith's lynching was discussed.

I am ready now, and I know how
To make all players see my view
And now I'll make a meal out of you

Everyone stopped chattering immediately and stared at her incredulously.

“I said that out loud didn't I?”

Nilp rolled his eyes and Wilwa facepalmed in her makeshift grave.

The others advanced on her and she tried to sing her way out of the situation, but her small voice was no match for the rest as they ordered her death from the moddess.

(++Nienna)
We must vote now, before baddies kill us
(++Nienna)
Vote for this were-duck and seal her doom
(++Nienna)
She's cute and fun, but so evil! Lynch her!
Please, Sally, just flipping kill her! Make it soon!

Phantom (made into a very unhealthy breakfast on Night 0)
Legate (ordo, pickled on Day 1)
Mira (Ophelia, ordo, drowned on Night 1)
Shasta (Hamlet, ordo, semi-accidentally poisoned on Night 1)
Lommie (were-duck, axed on Day 2)
Wilwa (were-duck, blinded by the light in the middle of Day 3)
Nienna (were-duck, outsung on Day 3)

The Living
Feanor of the Peredhil
Brinniel
Durelin
Nogrod

Nerwen
Rikae
Mith

ETA: I'll put in a clever title later but I've still got a migraine and I have class in the morning. Nienna, dearie, hope it's 'epic' enough for you.

Gifteds and the flock, send picks whenever you feel like. I'm out.

Gwathagor · 03-24-2009, 12:28 PM

Hey we're back!

Durelin · 03-24-2009, 12:32 PM

Working for me again, too! I think the BD clock is now an hour behind, though. XD

Gwathagor · 03-24-2009, 12:33 PM

So it is. Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey.

Mnemosyne · 03-24-2009, 12:39 PM

Duck here. Sally is currently slogging through Middle-English poetry as fresh as a cow's turd; she should be back in an hour and a half at the latest. We're ready for Day to come again whenever you are; expect further stipulations, clarifications, and Rules as soon as she's back. Needless to say we won't do anything that would penalize anyone for the Downs' absence, although we do reserve the right to mess with your brains.

Until then, please take your exultations at the Downs' survival to PM or another thread. We are still in a Night phase.

satansaloser2005 · 03-24-2009, 12:58 PM

Rejoice, ye Downers, for the forum is back~!

I'm just going to wait and start the Day at 10pm toNight, GMT-5, so we don't get all messed up. The Downs is an hour behind, so we'll go by that clock minute-wise until it gets fixed. Everyone please stay silent until then and the Day will dawn then. Thanks!

Nerwen · 03-24-2009, 03:17 PM

Oh, dear, this is going to be a scary day, what with a brace of undead ducks waddling around the village...

*points to list*

Mnemosyne · 03-24-2009, 03:29 PM

Brains!

Heh in my defense it was 230am. Thanks for pointing that out.

Flock, you may continue to PM until 10pm (again, 9pm by the Downs clock) CT.

Must dash, for have a meeting in a bit. Yummy pizza too, yay!

And never fear, I'll be here to call the Day. Enjoy the rest of your Evening!
