Sooooo Day 1 has officially started. Unfortunately, I don't have the list of people who are currently alive and dead because our dear modgod failed to send me that particular information. But figured I'd just let you all know that we're officially open for business since nobody's posted yet.

"Well that was quite a show."

Aganzir's voice is bitter. She is still in shock due to the fact that she has lost three of her (several) favourite Downers. She has no idea how Lommy ended up in the pub. According to her knowledge, she should have been in Prague having fun with Legate. Maybe they decided to pay us a surprise visit, she thinks, but where's Legate then? Did he run away when he noticed something was wrong? That coward! I always knew he was up to no good!

"So," she says, "I suppose we are to play werewolf then."

She looks around to see if anyone is paying attention.

Formendacil · 04-12-2009, 12:13 PM

I'm going to assume that I wandered back in here sometime before Christopher Tolkien showed up and disappeared. In any case, I'm presumably here now and know what I'm doing.

Don't take it amiss if I'm a bit lacklustre today. The celebrations were rather late last night (morning, really), and between beer without sufficient water intake, too much food, and a room on the sunny side of the building, my messed up sleep-cycle is leaving me very mellow today...

...but I'll be around, probably, on and off all Day for the usual Day 1 antics and/or harmless Internet flirting.

Can I at least be your Internet Esmeralda then?

Esmeralda is an attractive and potentially seductive woman, but I don't think she's the flirting sort--and you, Miss Aganzir most definitely are.

I think you'll need to look a bit further to find a suitable Disney match for you.

*Note to Self: It's Easter... if a game must have a Day 1 at least it falls on a day I'm otherwise not really in gear.

*Note to Others: Cognitive faculties seem to be sticking a little...

Oh come on.

Is there anyone who wants to kill their kin (and has a scar on his left eye, preferably)? Any girls who work for the god of death? Anyone who has been turned into a huge beast by an elf (haha his name is actually Prince Adam, by the way

)?

Hmm given the situation we're in, I think Frollo sounds the safest.

Gwathagor · 04-12-2009, 01:52 PM

Ha ha NOT if you're Esmeralda.

Nogrod · 04-12-2009, 02:03 PM

Nogrod and Greenie were such shaken by the advents that took place that they needed to cool down with a game of chess in the corner.

After they got the game through Nogrod rose from the table - and as there was no one to tend the bar he helped himself with a pint of Spitfire ale - and joined the ring of other baffled 'Downers.

"So it was the Witch-King himself? I mean all of this sounds like a bad prank coming from the phantom's mind - like a bad phantasy novel plot where a Witch King from the other world just decides to let our world be as it is and only gives the heroes (who are just the ordinary people eg. us) a task to be fulfilled & blah-blah... But somehow it feels like real now."

He looked around to the fellow 'Downers some of he hadn't even had time to say "Hi" this far. We'd actually need to kill someone...? For real that is!

Pheww... Nogrod felt he was shaking all over. This can't be true!

"Okay, who's the one to volunteer for being the Jack Ketch, the gallower, the hangman... whatever way you want it? Gwath? Shasta? You think you're brave enough for it?"

He made a pause.

"Or do we believe in this story enough to actually start really killing each other?"

I dunno... I'm still inclined to stick my opinion, on the basis that the clip there is a public performance. Flirting, at least to my mind, is a one-on-one action, and while there are elements of it there, they are merely part of the show.

I will grant, however, it's been quite a long time since I've seen the movie in anything resembling its entirety, so I'm certainly fallible in my overall assessment. It's possible, even, that the last time I saw that movie I'd not yet had flirting cross my mental horizon.

That being said, though, if I can't exclude you, Miss Agan from the Esmeralda role on the grounds of flirting, I can exclude myself from Frollo on the grounds of my not sharing his character. I'm hardly an austere, self-righteous, wet blanket--I hope.
