....And you shall find.

Hmmmm, looks like you all are a bit confused. Hehe.

satansaloser2005 · 03-20-2009, 12:23 AM

Incidentally, Shasta is the village prostitute. He stated it clearly before.

(Yes you sillies, I'm kidding.)

Perchance the time is coming to end this madness....perchance you should all take a close look at the list of players from the last narration.

o.O

Why isn't Shasta under "The Living" section.

Brinniel · 03-20-2009, 12:54 AM

Looks like Shasta may be our Hamlet after all.

Is he in purgatory? Or simply in his own state of mind?

Night One, Part Two

Shasta had been grieving for Mira for a few hours, bursting into song and sonnet for no apparent reason. Durie and Izzy weren't terribly impressed, while Gwath found it all rather clever.

Everyone's moms were suspiciously silent.

Realizing that everyone was more entertained than empathetic, Shasta stumbled back toward the center of town and saw Wilwa standing by the old pharmacy.

“What's wrong?” she asked as he approached, glaring at her.

“You....you killed her,” he growled. “You killed Mira....”

Wilwa looked around, then smiled hesitantly and led him over toward a bench. “You're probably just sick after travelling so far the last few days. Don't worry, you'll be all right.”

“You killed her,” he repeated, and pulled out a cowbell.

“I've got a fever, and the only prescription is killing Wilwa?”

“Too right, Phantom,” Shasta said, and Wilwa stared at him, confused by the sight of the poor guy talking to thin air.

He swung the cowbell at Wilwa's face and missed. Normally he could have caught her, but by now the rest of the group had heard her screams and had come to her aid.

Then again, the fact that he was puking in the bushes again didn't help.

“Hmmmm,” mused one of the were-ducks, “I think we gave him a bit much.”

“Could be,” one of her fellows agreed. “Then again....Pssst!”

Another of their number withdrew from the crowd slightly. “What is it?”

“What'd you give that guy?”

“I gave him a sedative. I made sure I had the other stuff in case the girl wouldn't cooperate, but there wasn't a need for it. Honestly,” she responded indignantly, holding up the two vials, “it's not like I can't....” In one hand was a full flask of Nyquil, in the other an empty vial marked “For expert wine drinkers only.”

The were-ducks all turned as Shasta vomited again, then dropped to the ground dead. The one who had administered the poison looked at her fellows and grinned innocently.

“Oops?”

The Dead
Sally (stabbed in a case of mistaken identity by a non-six-fingered Phantom on Night 0)
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)

The Living
Feanor of the Peredhil
Brinniel
wilwarin538
Durelin
Nogrod
Isabellkya
Nerwen
Rikae
Mith
Kath
Lari
Mac
Nienna
Gwathagor
Thinlómien
Nilpaurion Felagund

An explanation: Mira and Shasta are in fact lovers, but ordo lovers, not gifted or otherwise, and were identified specifically as Hamlet and Ophelia. Mira was the were-ducks target, by the way. I decided to let Shasta have a little fun with the understanding that he couldn't post a whole lot of sensical stuff and I think he did fairly well. Heh. However he was doomed to die and thus only lived through part of the Day. He is now fully dead and will no longer participate.
Shasta had the opportunity to pick a person to kill and chose Wilwa (hence the cowbell attack) but the success of his 'revenge kill' was decided by coin flip and he lost, so she lives. (I recorded the coin flip for kicks and giggles and it will be uploaded to youtube and linked into this post as soon as I get back to school and have a better internet connection)

Carry on with your Day!

ETA: The coin flip is up on youtube now and you can watch it here.

Nerwen · 03-20-2009, 01:35 AM

Aw, poor Shasta.

n0w th3r3s nobdy 2 trnsl8 4 me!111!1!

Brinniel · 03-20-2009, 01:54 AM

Heh, so I guess I was right. Though I didn't expect him to be dead dead just yet. A great final performance by Shasta though. He deserves a prize.

That's my line.

Fare thee well, Shasta.

Noooo. Heading in that direction is baaaad. I'm sure Sally's disclaimer from the end of Day 1 still stands:

It's not about that, it's about having enough backbone to say you think this person looks the most guilty. Regardless of how uncertain you are, that's who you should vote for, right? It's just too much of a cop-out to say that you don't really think the person is guilty while you vote for them anyway.

Of course I'm one to talk right now after my vote yesterDay... I do wish I had gone with Lommy or Mac just to stick to some standards, but...wasn't sure when I posted where Brinn was going and if Gwath's vote counted (until he came back and re-posted it).

How? His only points as far as I recall were that supposed 'slip', which I must say makes me feel great that everyone has so much confidence in my intelligence and ability to control my fingers (apparently my sense of humour does not translate well to keyboard...my 'ranger' roleplaying that wasn't actually supposed to be a ranger-type is enough proof of that I suppose), and that it is apparently suspicious to look at votes made so far in the day if they are less than a certain number greater than four.

Well, except I'd expect (heh) that would have been hinted at in the narration. I guess if we really want to stretch it we could say that maybe the werebear just forgot to send in a kill or can't kill every night but I think that would be stretching it too far.

So I can remember excatly where a quote is on a page for a paper but fail to remember rules. That does make more sense though.

True, so we probably aren't dealing with a bear.

satansaloser2005 · 03-20-2009, 10:59 AM

Like I said before, no gender clues in the narrations, kiddos. It's pretty much random, though I believe I stated that I'm referring to all the were-ducks as female, barring perhaps the occasional typo. (I put in the clues about Shasta because he was effectively killed when Mira was)

If there is a ranger save it will be put in the narration, so never fear. As for the werebear question itself, I plead the fifth. You'll just have to find out.

Lariren Shadow · 03-20-2009, 11:01 AM

Oh wonderful Moddess we need to stop cross posting.

Heh I know. Well, every game needs a player that continuously crosses with the mod/moddess so I guess you win. How would you like your trophy and platter of cookies shipped?
