I'll post my vote in a few. Just wanna let others have their say.

You don't understand. I did not get a pick during Night 1. I have no name to give in and it only applies to being killed. Not lynched.

Eruhen · 07-28-2011, 05:59 PM

Oh. True. Vote in a minute.

Lynched too, Lottie said.

I'll be voting for a submarine.

I flipped a coin - heads Boro dies, tails Glirdy dies - missed it, and it rolled under the couch. I flipped another one, and it landed on tails.

Glirdy has been lynched. Narration to follow.

The cast gathered around the body - it seemed the appropriate, if slightly nauseating, place to decide on the Day's lynch. They argued about many things, such as paychecks, shoulder steaks and bacon, and acting ability, but as the Day came to a close, the discussion turned inevitably back to the lynch.

"I think it should be Boro!" Bom shouted.

"No, no! Bom!" Boro shouted.

"Someone else?" Zil offered. Bom and Boro turned to him.

"No!" they both exclaimed.

"Hang on, I liked the 'someone else' idea," McCaber said.

"Like Glirdy!" Eomer said.

"Yeah, that'll work," Shasta said. He grabbed Glirdy and pulled him towards the edge of the nearby bottomless pit. Glirdy pulled Boro with him, so that the two possibly lynches stood balanced on the edge together.

"No, not Boro!" Eonwe said, trying to push his way forwards. This was made difficult by the fact that so was everyone else. With all the flailing limbs, one of them (possibly either belonging to Foley or Sally) hit Glirdy, and the actor toppled backwards into the pit.

The others froze, staring as Glirdy fell. For a long, long time.

"Y'know, once you get past the impending death, this is kind of boring," he called after a while, his voice getting softer every moment. "I was innocent, you know." With that, the rest of the cast slunk off to their respective trailers for the Night.

When the rest of the cast had fallen asleep, the three actors gathered around the pit, staring down into it bleakly.

"So he's actually dead?" one finally asked.

"As far as I can tell," another answered.

"But we're not killing them. We're just using fake blood and chloroform."

"Well, what'd you expect? How else are they supposed to get rid of us?"

"I don't know, lock us in a hobbit hole or something?"

"Yes, because that's such an awful punishment."

"I'd prefer it to dying."

"I'd prefer to have earned my death, if I have to die."

"So...you want us to actually kill someone?"

"Let's give it a go, at least."

With that, the actors rose to their feet and resolutely marched off to kill their target.

"Hang on, where are you guys going?" one asked.

"To go kill {censored}, of course."

"We did not talk about killing {censored}! Where'd you get that idea?"

"Now that you mention it, we didn't talk about anyone in particular at all."

"Yeah, that might be kind of important."

Several minutes and one poking war later, the actors had reached their decision. Putting their hands in a pile, they shouted "Break!"

"...that was silly-looking," one said after an awkward silence.

"Yep."

"...let's just go."

"Yep."

And so, silent not for stealth but out of slight embarresment, the three slunk off to one of the trailors. Gathering around the sleeping actor, they looked at each other, frowning.

"How does this work again?"

"I don't know. I've never killed anyone before."

Shrugging, one of the actors grabbed several packets of fake blood out of his pocket. Opening a handful, he forced open the victim's jaw and poured it all in. He then held the other actor's mouth closed with one hand and covered his nose with the other until the victim stopped struggling to breathe.

"That works," one of his fellows said.

"I like the blood splattery affect," the other said.

"Thanks," said the killer, wiping the rest of the fake blood off on the victim's pillow. Silently, the actors slipped back to their own trailers.

As the sun rose the next morning, the cast gathered to see if anyone else was missing. After a quick head count, they discovered that the actor who'd played Elrond - Zil - was missing. They ran to his trailer to make sure he hadn't just overslept, and were quicky reassured that he hadn't.

"Now what?" Tum asked, face ashen with horror.

"I guess we do the same thing again," Eonwe said. "Vote to lynch someone, and try to find the murderers."

"Yes, because that turned out so well yesterDay," Foley said.

"But we know more now!" Sally said.

"Yeah - we know it wasn't Glirdy or Zil," Eomer said.

"Pessimism is not going to help," McCaber said. "We've got to figure this out, or we're all in danger."

Foley as Sam

Please excuse my absence. I was mobbed by the paparazzi. I'm sure you all know what it's- Oh. Right. Never mind then.

So our intrepid Boromir claims to be the hunter then? How interesting. I don't expect anyone will contest his claims even if he is laying, so I think we should leave him alone for toDay and see what happens.

OOC: Abigail's dying, so I have to leave. I'll hop in and out from my phone.
