Umm I think CoD is going to be a victim for a wolf bandwagon

Mithalwen · 09-12-2008, 10:57 AM

Do you want to get lynched Boro?

Sorry for my faux pas, I was responding to you feeling torn about Brin because some said no, and lately others came on and liked your case. So, I just said could be a wolf setting you up and latching on to an easy reason for a vote. If you're not a wolf.

Well I was hoping to stay around longer...but I wouldn't be the biggest loss.

Deadline.

Have to count votes again...

Edit:

CaptainofDespair has been lynched. He was a Werewolf. Narration will have to come later.

Night 2 has begun and all that. Wolves, you may PM; send me your kill. Seer, send me your dream. Ranger, send me the name of whom you wish to protect.

Nogrod · 09-12-2008, 11:01 AM

Uh... Boro you're either a hero or the greatest bluffer ever...

EDIT: sorry about going over the deadline.

Durelin · 09-12-2008, 07:25 PM

As usual, no one had a clue. Well, three among them knew what was going on, and all they had to do was stay alive. At least, that was the idea.

For some time, no one seemed to stand out. Before long, names were being tossed out at random. Reactions were ‘analyzed’ and vendettas continued from confrontations long past. Most everyone knew where each other stood on the important issues, such as proper pairings, whether or not ‘procedurally’ is Will Wright’s favorite word, and of course how they felt about Day Ones.

What mattered most on a day like today was whether or not you stood out. Boromir88 certainly set off some fireworks, but then there was this CaptainofDespair, in full costume…

“What is that?!” someone queried.

“It’s a rat!”

“Eww, let’s kill it!”

‘Cluny the Scourge’ was too busy organizing his troops and preparing for his siege of Day One. “Day One will become forever known as ‘Cluny’s Day!’” the Captain was speaking to himself. “First toDay, then toMorrow…then the entire convention! All shall attend “Cluny’s Con” and serve the might of Cluny the Scourge in constant terror of his wrath!”

At the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned, and among the people coming towards him he glimpsed a robed, hooded figure. It was just like in his dreams! Cluny the Scourge reached for his barbed tail, his weapon of choice, but he could make no move toward anyone before death came crashing down in the form of a large ceiling light.

“Pip-pip, onk-onk!” Lalwendë addressed the newly deceased.

The other con-goers picked through the debris to see precisely what kind of creature they had smooshed.

“Yup, still looks like a rat to me.”

Jedi Master N’Rwen stepped forward, her lightsaber humming. She dutifully removed Cluny the Scourge’s head, and CaptainofDespair’s with it. It went rolling, and then Cluny’s face burst apart. Everyone looked to Boro, but he just shrugged. When the smoke cleared, they did not see the human face most dreaded and suspected. Fur revealed more fur...a darker fur.

Night 2 has begun. Yeah, said it already. Just felt like something belonged here.

One moment, Kath was sleeping in the hotel room she shared with Shasta and other Harry Potter enthusiasts – everyone packed in to as few rooms as possible – and the next…she woke to the feeling of a cold tiled floor. Two sets of bright yellow eyes peered down at her.

Kath leaped to her feet, drawing her wand. “Expelliarmus!” she cried with finesse to match Harry Potter’s.

The eyes still stared, the dark forms that they belonged to unflinching.

“What?!” Kath cried. “That’s the only spell I know,” she groaned, “and that was good enough for Harry! Even when he faced…”

“Hermione…” came a growl from one of the dark figures, cutting her off. Both eyes took on a mischievous light.

“…Weasley.”

“What…did you say?” Kath asked, breathless, as if the wind had been knocked out of her.

“Rose…” the other figure growled.

“No!”

“Hugo…”

“No!”

They almost had her. The creatures decided to try another angle.

“Albus Sev--”

“No, no, no!”

Kath fell to her knees. It was all just too much…

That was when they pounced.

~*~

The next morning the con-goers found another typically grisly scene, but this time no suspects were taken into custody. No one had any doubt what they were up against anymore, not after seeing what was written in Kath’s blood…

“~The Moonys”

Feanor of the Peredhil · 09-13-2008, 11:01 AM

So I get out of classes yesterday, and I'm thinking "Wow, I love art history! I'm barely aware I'm even taking it." And I'm thinking "Wow, I love aesthetics. It's so funny, having class with smart alecky boys." And I'm reading the thread and I'm eating lunch and I'm thinking "Wait, who has the most votes? What's happening?" And I take a slightly closer look and think "Why did they kill Cap? ZOMG he's a wolf?"

So now I'm thinking I need to reread the thread and figure out how people saw his behavior and was like "Wolf" when I really hadn't thought twice about him.
