"Good work on last night's protection. I've got a new name for you tonight." said the Town's miscreant.

The eagle lord shook its head. "My debt has been repaid."

Shasta stood agape, not believing what he had heard from the eagle. "You came here to serve me, to guard whomever I asked you to guard. I command you fulfill your promises!"

"The eagles do not serve men, we serve a higher being, scarcely known to men. You saved one of my kin, I did as you bid and saved one of yours. Not two, just one. The debt has been repaid."

The miscreant was growing more furious with the eagle. How could Gwaihir, the great Windlord just abandon the village now? When the townspeople were in their greatest need too? "I fear the pack will come for me tonight. Guard me. Not for a favor, but for a friend."

"You know I can not. Even if I could, I would not be able to fight off another wolf attack. I fear one bit me good in the attack last night, and the wounds need a healer's touch. The debt..."

"I know, I know." interrupted Shasta. "Its been repaid. Well if it's going that you must do, than go already. Go, go, go...see if your race gets help from me again."

"Simple minded human." brawked Gwaihir. "Does not understand the powers that turns the world. The eagles do not meddle in the affairs of Men and Elves. Though we do not let eagle-friends, sit and wait, only to die."

---

The two wolves were on the prowl again. Angry, hungry, and even angier because of their misfortunes in the past 24 hours. They would eat that miscreant tonight though. See if that stupid pet bird stopped them from feasting two straight nights.

As they entered the home of Shasta, gleefully they felt no presense of the eagle at all. "This will be easy tonight." gleamed one of the wolves. But as they tore the house apart, Shasta was nowhere to be found.

"Where could he be?" whimpered a wolf.

"Gone by the looks of it." growled the other. "He didn't even leave us a rotten apple!"

Conflicted with happiness of never having to deal with the dumb bird, or the miscreant again, yet being hungrier than ever as the miscreant seemed to have grown wings of his own, or flown off with that eagle.

"Well, where did we leave the Shepherd's sheep?" asked a wolf.

"By the shepherd...I think." smiled the other.

[Kitanna]

Seeing as everyone knows everyone else's roles and somehow I think no one is going to submit, everyone should be prepared for an internet staring contest.

[satansaloser2005]

Just to make things interesting, I decided to hunt Galadriel....

[Kitanna]

It's 50/50 you're lying anyway, so why would I risk believing you?

[Galadriel55]

Confirmation: Kit is a wolf.

*stares*



Sally, how does your schedule work tomorrow (toDay at DL)? Nog? Mine is not very WW frinedly, as I am out of the house an hour before deadline, and comming back an hour after, and there's no way I could change it.


A note about yesterDay: I was getting quite paranoid until Lottie's "reveal" (more like revelation...). I was afraid sally was leading me around with my trust, laughing at me. I'm glad you weren't.

[satansaloser2005]

I'll be here.

[satansaloser2005]

So, Kit, why didn't you just let Nerwen get thrown under the bus yesterDay? Why the escapades? Until your antics, I wasn't sure who the other baddie was, and might have actually trusted you. What prompted the fake reveal?

[Kitanna]

++G55

[Galadriel55]

What's there to talk about now?

This game is becomming a race of which vote's the latest... >.<

Wolves, maybe you'd care to explain your Pitch-kill now to make this more interesting? No? Well, it was worth a try.

Edit: xed since my last. Yay! people!

[satansaloser2005]

Wouldn't it be hilarious if I turned out to be the last wolf all along?

[Galadriel55]

You know, I was also thinking that the wolves would sacrifice Nerwen to keep their identity a mystery. But they made a bet for it - and a close one too! The last minute votes came it moments one after the other! It took me just one refresh to have them all shown.

So, which wolf to lynch toDay? They're both known.

Not to me.

I was bored and until Nerwen did it too I thought it might sway the last ordo.

[Kitanna]

I really thought it might sway Nog in our direction. But I knew by Day's end everyone would know one way or the other. I knew it'd be a tie and we're not out yet. I wasn't going to throw Nerwen under the bus.

You know, after pondering this for a bit, I think it would be even more hilarious if I turned out to be the last wolf. Then I would have sacrificed a packmate, gotten lucky with Shasta, and accused innocent Kit and Greenie. And, as innocents, they should have been Hunter and Seer respectively, which would mean that sally is the third wolf. And Lottie would probably have been the ordo, and Nog the cobbler.

Never thought to expand this way, have you, wolves?

But I'm not a wolf, as I have proved to you. But this more interesting that a staring contest.

*still staring**sleeps with open eyes to continue staring*

See y'all after a nap!

[Nogrod]

What on earth?

[Nogrod]

So this is after all a lovers' game and Sally & Kit are lovers? Otherwise this makes little sense... what Sally does I mean.

Galadriel, did you actually dream Greenie as the cobbler or was her role just your guess after seeing her an innocent (=non-wolf)? Not that it seems to be of much relevance as yesterDay's voting went neatly along the lines our scenario predicted.

Okay. I'll try to just clear this to myself so I'm also sharing this.

YesterDay's Nerwolf lynchers:
Shasta: known ranger, deceased.
Galadriel: seer (most likely true).
Sally: hunter? lover? cobbler? (nailed wolf-Nerwen yesterDay).
Nogrod: ordinary innocent.

That would leave as baddies the Shasta-voters:
Nerwen: lynched wolf.
Kitanna: wolf by G's dream & more or less own revelation.
Lottie: wolf more or less by own revelation from yesterDay.
Greenie: cobbler by G's dream, voted along the wolves as she should.

Looking at that Sally's action makes no sense and the wolves win. At the moment it looks like we're going to lynch Galadriel toDay (Kit, Sally, Lottie & Greenie have four votes agaisnt G55's & my two).

Sally. You are a lover, aren't you?


EDIT: Forget this post - see the next one for details...

[Nogrod]

Haha...

I just scrolled the last few posts only to start wondering what Lottie meant when she said she was excited for a moment after seeing Sally's vote as it didn't seem to make sense.

And then I realised the markers in Sally's vote (we don't have that sign in Finnish keyboards so I can't reproduce them here)!

So that's it then... Sorry for all the trouble reading my previous post gives you (heh, nice chance to glance into my conspiracy-theory suspectible mind).



Back to business then. I'm not able to stay up till 3AM (DL here) as I have work in the morning, so that will leave it to Sally to bring home the bacon once again.

I dreamt her.

Lol, I also confused them with plusses at firts, and then I thought that it wasn't sally but Lottie who posted it, and then I saw Lottie's post and it all didn't make any sense. And then it did.

We don't have the divisin sign markings either on our keyboards. Sally known a trick I don't.

[satansaloser2005]

My keyboard doesn't have them either, but I have my ways.

Hmph. I'm going back to bed for a bit longer. Yawn.

[A Little Green]

*sigh* Known cobbler, possibly the dullest WW role there is. Anyway, before I forget -

++ Gal

Won't be around much toDay either with a big exam tomorrow - but then again, I doubt you'll need me much. Wouldn't be around at DL to save the day anyway!

[satansaloser2005]

Oh goodness. Boro had assured me he would keep that a secret.

Hush on that, Nogrod. You'll make Shasta jealous, and Nilp would be beside himselves if he heard such things. (I don't even want to think about what Phantom would say.)



Also, you should use a definite article there.

[Nogrod]

Is it going to be Kitanna or Lottie toDay whom we vote? It would be very unfortunate if two of us crossposted different votes.

I'm probably going to vote in the evening when I get home (meaning 3-5 hours before the DL). Hope you Sally can outvote Lottie!

Poor thing.

[Nogrod]

The Lover... *sounds convincing*

[satansaloser2005]

As much as I want to leave Kit alone in her cowardice (read, fake reveal), I'd rather have Lottie around toMorrow than Kit, so Kit it must be.

EDIT: x'd with Nog stroking my ego

Good. I'm done anyway.

For the record, it's nothing personal. I just don't want another arms race toMorrow, and I know you'd be around for it. I don't know for sure about Pop.


Oooo, and now I have a parody in mind....

[satansaloser2005]

Oh, heck no. I'm too lazy to do the whole thing, mostly because it would be stuck in my head for weeks. Thus, a simple excerpt from the real thing....


Hop, Pop! We like to hop.
We like to hop on top of Pop.
Stop! You must not hop on Pop!


....ToDay, that is.

[Kitanna]

I'm starting to take this game and the jokes seriously. So do me the favor and end it. I need to focus on the true stress of work, not the stress of an arms race. I have to be the big bad wolf in RL now.

I still believe in you Lottie! Make me proud!

[Boromir88]

This is perhaps the first time I can remember something like this happening...it's got to be the most awkward circumstance.

[satansaloser2005]

Sorry, Boro, darling, it's not for you.

At the end of the Day, Mistress Lottie, you will be the only wolf left. Greenie is unlikely to be around at the DL toMorrow, which means Galadriel and I will easily control the vote.

I propose that you send in my name to Boro right after DL, ending the game toNight; I, of course, will do the same. Thus, I will fulfill the mechanical purpose of my gift, and you will end the game on your (technically, my, but no matter) terms, with dignity, with grace, with honor, and in a way that has only been done once before.

What say you, Wolflote?

Not necessariliy, my dear scrumptious Cupcake. And of course I can't eat you before G55 and Nog - it's bad to eat your dessert before your main course!
