Tol-in-Gaurhoth LXIX: Were-Librarians

[Lariren Shadow]

“Well that’s all the decorations,” Lari stated looking around the reception hall. The hotel everyone was staying in had let her and Mira rent the room for next to nothing. It might have had something to do with the fact that he was, to put it politely, a dirty old man. So now the large room was covered in green and black decorations, in the theme of their high school colors, with phantoms every few places for their mascot had been a phantom.

Mira was sitting down rubbing her foot. “Yeah, looks great,” she commented slightly sarcastically.

“Just because the hammer fell on your foot doesn’t mean you have to pout. It wasn’t even from that high up.”

“But it was your hammer that you dropped,” Mira pointed out.

“That doesn’t mean anything. Come on, let’s get some sleep before tomorrow.”

As the two left the hall they missed the three figures lurking in the corner. Slithering out of the shadows came three hooded figures.

“Looks positively disgusting,” one sneered.

“Looks like they spent most of their budget on renting the place.” Another stated blandly.

“I think it looks nice.” The other two turned to their companion, quizzical looks on their faces. “What? I always liked decorations…” She said meekly.

“Yes, we know, you were the one who kept putting up all the holiday stuff in the library.”

“Well people liked it, and it kept everyone from suspecting us!” She said defensively.

“Yes of course,” said their leader. He turned to his companions. “Now that we are here we have to make sure we blend it. We want to get back at this class so we have to infiltrate them from within. Steal the identities of some of the graduates. Should be easy.”

“Especially since we have the powers we sold our souls for,” the one who was neither the leader nor fond of decorations commented.

“Yes, that does help…now to plan our revenge. Good thing our trusted Snitch was in this class,” he said maliciously.

And so began the plotting of the Were-Librarians to get revenge on their least favorite class ever.

Night 1 has begun.

[Lariren Shadow]

Lari stood on the raised platform at the end of the room. She gazed out at her former classmates and was impressed by how many actually showed up, she had thought only two would actually come, and the careers some posed, though she wasn’t actually sure what Nerwen did but it sounding amazing. She took a deep breath before steeping up to the microphone.

“Welcome everyone! I hope you all had a good night’s sleep last night. I’m impressed with the group who showed up here. We have a college professor,” she said indicating Fea, who was off in a corner talking with Formendacil and Nienna. “Speaking of teachers, we have someone who is preparing to possibly go back to high school again,” she indicated Boro, who was currently conversing with Hakon in the corner. “Our very own theater star Sally,” Sally turned to look up Autume, who didn’t seem to remember Sally at all, but Sally was filling Autume in on everything she had ever done. “A nurse, in case anyone needs medical attention,” people forced out a laugh while Alonariel looked up from her conversation with Brinn, who looked much as she did in high school, dressed tastefully in black and Nessa Telrunya who kept quiet about her current profession. “And finally a mother of nine, wow!” Wilwa blushed as she began to take out her pictures of her children to show the loners in the corner, Mac and Shasta, whether or not they wanted to see her pictures didn’t matter.

“You seem to have neglected our professions, Lari,” Mira said pushing up next to Lari at the microphone. Lari slightly glared at her for the intrusion but let her continue. “I am a very capable profiler, and Lari does something with some sort of history society.”

“The Anne Boleyn society,” Lari muttered under her breath.

“Whatever," Mira huffed. "This is about everyone and a chance for everyone to catch up with old friends and reconnect. Enjoy!”

Day 1 has begun.

I would like to remind everyone that until I post the mid-Day narration there should be mindless banter.

[Boromir88]

After chatting a bit with Hakon, Boromir surveyed the room. I see that we have the typical stereotypes, in one corner there's the goth girl, and in the opposite we have the awkward theater kid. His eyes resting on sally.

Come on Boro, chum, enough dilly-daddle do what you have been planning for several days now.

Boro tried to get the room's attention, but at first only a few people took notice, that was probably going to change in five seconds:

"Knawladge. Knawladge, is what bwings." *clears throat* "Sorry 'bout that...um ya, just let me try this again...Knowledge. Knowledge, is what brings us togedar today. Knawladge that bwessed." *hem hem* "blessed achievement. A dweam...wifin...a dweam."

Well that went well! Now everyone's staring at you, you big dolt!

[alonariel]

Alonariel looked up from her conversation with Brinn, vaguely recognizing the man who had spoken as the student teacher, Boro.

She'd actually been having a quite interesting discussion about the differences between treating adults and children when it came to emergency room injuries: kids liked to bite, kick, scream and scratch the person attending them. The adults simply glared daggers at you. Teenagers were another story entirely.

Taking another gulp of the drink in her hand, Alonariel wondered if Borowas going to faint from the attention he'd just garnered.

Maybe I should've worn my scrubs, she thought.

[satansaloser2005]

*mutters to herself*

Perfect, just perfect. I bloody hated high school, you know. Spent all my time either in the library or on the edge of the stage reading books. Same difference, really. *sighs* Best see who's all here then, I suppose.

Fea. Oh, there's lovely. Loved doing group projects with her; one of the few times I didn't have to do all the work.

Hakon. Wait, that can't be Hakon! That snobby kid who was always too good to talk to anyone? Best be keeping clear of him; the way he looks I bet he's not changed at all, and if he does talk to me I sure don't want to hear how much money he's been making.

Boro. Okay, take a deep breath, it's only Boro. But....dang, he looks good. Holy cow, I've missed him. We'd probably still be together if it wasn't for stupid Lari getting in the way. I suppose my obsession senior year with randomly becoming a tree didn't help, but I still think he only liked her because she tutored him in history....*sighs*....Well, he doesn't seem to interested in the little homewrecker tonight, so maybe....just maybe....maybe I should go fix my hair and snag my Cyrano out of my purse. He always did like French.

Tum. She was in our class? Oh yeah, that kid who always carried around a little screwdriver and that notebook full of random numbers and crap.

Nerwen. If she breaks into song one time this weekend I'll kill her. Other than that I suppose she's all right, though I would bet my complete works of Shakespeare that her job has something to do with an oven mitt and a funny hat with bull horns on it. 'Mammalian nutrition specialist' my tap shoe clad foot.

Nessa. Poor kid, looks like she never did anything with her life. Yet another of us who should have made a ton of money but instead is working six dozen jobs just so we can do what we love. Oooo, that's interesting. She and Shasta are just chatting away. Lovely.

Wilwa. Well hello, Mrs. Robinson. I can't believe she's with- oh, that's her son. Much better then. You know, for being the school 'sweetheart' she looks pretty happy with all those kids. Very cute. Always did like her, even if she did hit on Boro a bit much.

Nienna. I'm really hoping that's paint on her shirt, because otherwise we might be in a bit of trouble.

Mac. Didn't say much then, probably won't say much now. I suppose he was nice though, and he helped out a lot with the sets, so he can't be all bad.

Shasta. I remember when we used to hang out after rehearsals and he'd paint....things....on the sets. *giggles* It's a shame he got kicked out of the drama club because he's a fabulous scene partner. Can't wait to hang out with him this weekend and see what kind of hijinks we can come up with....well, he can come up with and I can giggle at or vice versa but no matter what it should be a blast.

Form. Still can't believe he called last week, just to use me as a reference for his silly thesis. I mean I know I'm a rising star but I'm not of much use for a paper on the theory of comedy and macaroni. Strange, strange kid, but amusing I guess.

Alona. That's right, she was the girl who always hung out with Lari. Really, I think that's the only reason she had a social life, because if it wasn't for Miss Princess over there across the room Alona would have spent all her time volunteering at the hospital. She looks like me during show weeks, only a heck of a lot worse, the poor girl. Maybe she'll get to relax a bit this weekend instead of running around like George flipping Hay.

Brinn. Ah, well, still creepy as ever. Whoa, I didn't know you could get piercings there. Now I remember why I always avoided her. Awk....ward....

Lari. Of course she's here and wearing the skankiest thing I've ever seen in my life. Like those glasses make her look any less like....Oh, look, Boro's walking by again....That's right, Miss, you leave him alone.

Mira. Heh, she was always interested in random crap, so I guess her job makes sense. But she was nice enough for a bit of a weirdo, so not a total loss. Maybe this won't be so bad after all.

[satansaloser2005]

Boro always did have a way with words. *giggles* I guess we'll have to have another discussion about how to use our mouths.

After all the hours we spent working on his public speaking you'd think he'd be better at it. After all, he is going to be a teacher....

*sighs*

He can teach me anytime.



Oooo everyone's stopped paying attention to him now. Maybe it's time we had a little conversation....

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Hmph. I can't believe I came back to this. I could have been in a brick-wall no-name cafe reciting poetry to a drumbeat against the machine.

Shasta looked around the room disgruntledly, pointedly ignoring Wilwa -

Okay, I was mean all throughout highschool, I can sit here and look at some dumb pictures. She's obviously proud of them.

Sighing, he made an effort to pay attention to Wilwa while simultaneously searching the room for Sally - she was probably likely to be the most fun of anyone here.

[satansaloser2005]

*tackles Shasta with a hug but quickly composes herself*

I've not seen you in ages, ever since that run-in you had with Boro in front of the nurse's station. I hope you'll get along a bit better this weekend, because I don't want to find out if it's still possible for us to get detention. (On the plus side, I always did like a good bit of drama, for obvious reasons.) I hate to leave you with no one interesting to talk to, but I'm supposed to hook up with Boro in a bit, so I better be off. Nice talking to you again! See you later!

*steps away then glances around and sighs*

Now where has Boro gone off to? I could have sworn I just saw him. Maybe he decided to be more phantom-ish, school spirit and all that rubbish. Or maybe he just went to the bathroom....

[Nerwen]

Nerwen had thought she'd have a chance to catch up with old friends, but she couldn't even remember some of these people, and the ones she did could be summed up as, "the weird kids". The worst part was that a lot of them seemed to be doing better than her,

Unless they're faking it too, she thought. Sally had implied that she was sort of making it in theatre, but Nerwen couldn't imagine how. Maybe they get her to play trees.

She snorted with laughter, nearly inhaling her drink. A few people looked at her then, and she pretended to cough.

Sally was now talking to Shasta, the former school rebel, who, she had to admit, was still quite hot.

Nerwen drifted over to them. "Hey, funny about Lari isn't it? I never knew she was an Amber Lynn fan."

[Nienna]

Nienna glances around the room. She is pretty sure that she has never seen most of these people before in her life. She wonders what this says about her as a person and how that could be conveyed through her art.

*rushes off to spend the day in the art room working this fabulous idea*

*will probably be back later in the day to show off her work or pretend that she hasn't made anything*

[Nessa Telrunya]

Nessa glanced around in apprehension at her former classmates, wondering if drawing a Wunki was still thought weird. The elusive creature was the cutest thing, but of course in high school, a fascination with a "fantasy" creature would be teased.

Everyone was here, apparently, although she couldn't recognize a few. Deciding that this would be a long weekend, Nessa took a sip of her drink. Maybe after all these years, someone will have lightened up and felt like speaking to her.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea, hugging Formendacil fondly, politely excuses herself, moves gracefully through the crowd, and then, with a gleeful squee, launches herself upon alonariel.

"I brought you lemons!!!" she giggles, dumping them on alonariel.

Fea wanders over to greet Brinn, admiring what is either new ink or fake ink.

They banter.

Suddenly Fea feels an explosion against her back and falls face forward to the floor. The wind knocked out of her, she tries desperately to get her breath back while Mira nuzzles her in a death grip hug. When she can finally choke out a few words, she says, from the floor, "I missed you too," and pets Mira's hair (which Fea cut and which Mira better wear down for her even if it's hot when she comes to visit in TWO DAYS).

Fea continues to banter a bit, and rests assured that everybody will realize that at heart she is in fact bantering more or less all day, even though her alter ego will be most likely bored at a new job.

"Nienna, love-" she begins to say, wanting to leave a message with someone reasonably reliable, and then realizes Nienna has already run off to make art.

Well... Time to get ready to be a Grown Up.

[autume98]

I can not believe I came to the reunion. What on earth was I thinking. I really didn't care for most of these people when I was in high school. They seriously had no clue to how much power a person can generate from a computer. Money is to be made in computers. All they did was give me these crazy looks all the time.

What they don't know is that I'm now working for Bill Gates making some good money. So I do know why I came. I'm hoping to be able to show them all up. Especially the prissy ones. What is it with cheerleaders that make them think they are better than anyone else?

Oh well. I shall wait for the right time, then I will really show them. They obviously haven't seen the car I've been driving.

I go grab some punch and head to a corner of the room where I can keep to myself for the time being and play with my SmartPhone.

[wilwarin538]

Wilwa giggled as she continued to tell Mac and Shasta about how #8 is finally walking, how wonderful is that!?!

They don't seem to be all that interested, she thought sadly as Shasta walked away to talk to Sally, sweet girl though, and Mac just sat there looking half asleep. How strange, I thought everyone would be so excited to hear about my wonderful miracles.

She decided to wander around and look for someone else to talk too. After grabbing a strange green drink that tasted like bananas she walked up to Nessa, who also seemed quite lonely.

"Hello!" Willwa said gently trying to remember any classes they had together. "Remember that one time in English Lit...."

[Boromir88]

Boro started talking, as if there was a person still next to him, he assumed Hakon was still there, but he didn't know for sure:

"A bit zealous, but she's got a good heart...sally that is. Remember the school play, about 1920s Chicago? I was a wealthy businessman that resemebled Colonel Saunders, that's when she first started liking me...weird. But it's not like I haven't had worse. This one girl, Kylee, oh that was scary. Always asking me to give her a ride home, and peeking around corners to see if I was alone so she could ambush me. *shiver* She's not here is she? She can't be, don't worry, she was 3 years younger...can't be here. No way."

He looks as sally, she was beaming. He looks at Lari, Boro can't read the look on her face, it looks like she's been carrying something bad, something she wants to get off her chest. Probably just stress from this get together. If you go up and ask her, you know it will not go well. He looks back at sally, she must have noticed he had turned his attention and for a moment had his mind on Lari...sally did not look pleased now. Oh no, it wasn't anything like that dear. Not at all, no. Why can't you just go up and tell her? Because you know if you do you will start sweating and stuttering and make yet another fool of yourself. This is going to be a long night, bud.

*gulps* "I'm going to see if they have anything stronger than punch."

Edit: crossed with autume and wilwa

[Mirandir]

Mira disentangled herself from Fea when she remembered the Jello shots she had secretly made just in case things got boring. While Jello shots might not have been the most respectable of drinks for a high school reunion (she knew Fea especially would disapprove unless made with bourbon or something equally vile and orange-nail-polish-remover-tasting), they would certainly be a conversation piece.

Before she had a chance to go get them from the kitchen, however, it occurred to Mira that she had not yet crushed Nienna in a death hug. One look around told her the art student was nowhere to be found and thus must be in the studio. Mira smiled. Many a good time had been had in the studio, often at her expense. She disappeared down the hallway to find her reclusive friend (aka Mira has to be a big girl and go to work now).

[autume98]

I remain in my corner when I realize I should probably make my rounds and introduce myself. After all I do work for Bill Gates now, and drive a 2007 Porche. I give a small smirk and think, "Probably the only one here who can afford such a thing."

So I go off and start making the rounds beginning with Sally. As I approach I see Sally is looking to her left. As I follow her eyesigt I see she is looking at Boro. I know she had a thing for him back then.

I decide to get this over with and enter her field of vision.

[alonariel]

Alona was both shocked and happy to see Fea at the reunion, even more so when she produced a green mesh bag of lemons and handed them to her.

"Your memory's impeccable!" Alona says, laughing a little.

She watched Fea wander off to speak with other classmates, and then disappear off to find some other classmate.

Probably Nienna, she thought, remembering how much both girls enjoyed art. Those two were inseparable in high school!

Speaking of friends, Alona made her way over to Lari, taking in the girl's rather bold outfit as she did so. She looked down at her own clothes - a sea green gauze dress she'd picked out because the color matched her scrubs and low, two-inch matching heels.

"Hey chiquita," Alona greeted, remembering the two had shared AP Spanish together. "A mi me encantan tus tacones."

[Lariren Shadow]

Lari stood off to the side, sipping her punch. Needs something, she thought, oh I know, Frangelico…no spiking the punch is so high scho-oh wait, its like I’m back anyway. She gazed at her classmates and wondered if they had noticed how sickenly sweet her speeches and temperament was. It was even giving her cavities. She really would rather have been off being truly sarcastic but had been taught to play the polite hostess when she needed too. Stupid manners, she thought.

Oh there’s Shasta and Sally, good thing they are getting along. Boro seems to have worked up the confidence to go over and talk to Sally again. I think I should apologize for what happened…well it was a one time thing and I felt horrible about it…oh Fea just gave Alona lemons, that’s really nice of her to remember. And Nienna looks to have run off to the art room already. Oh good, Wilwa and Nessa are talking and everyone else seems to be entertaining themselves (I wouldn’t mind Autume’s SmartPhone…), that means I can go get some air.

Lari set her cup down and headed out of the conference room and off to the bathroom first. After that quick trip she was walking back to the conference room of green and black when she heard a giggle from behind a closed door and then a loud thump. Its not a room…well I know curiosity killed the cat but I’m not a cat! Lari grabbed the handle and throw open the door.

Inside the closet she found that Boro and Sally had defiantly made up and were, well, talking with their mouths closed. All Boro could do was splutter out nonsense while Sally had the ability to exclaim “Oh spite, oh hell.”

“I’ll…leave you too it then.” Lari closed the door. Funny, I never thought that they were even that serious in high school, maybe they really got together afterward. Lari closed the door and walked away.

I better go find Mira, she thought, I saw her walk out and if I have be there she does too, co-voted hostess of the most annoying thing in awhile. She was pretty much giving into her inner sarcasm while keeping a bright smile on the outside.

Suddenly everything went black. When everything began to come into the focus again, she wasn’t sure what had happened, she noticed she was in library stacks. That’s odd…there isn’t a library anywhere near here.

She turned and saw Mira standing against the wall. “You’re here too!? Well then who’s AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Before Mira could respond three blurs impaled her on the end of a v-cart, a look of horror twisted with pain on her face as her blood began to coat the Encyclopedia’s that were on the cart.

“It was them!” Mira chocked out before her head slummed to the side.

“It was who?” But Lari’s thoughts were discontinued when she felt something fall on her head. “The Dark is Rising?” She read the cover of the book before, more started falling. Hundreds of books came crashing down, covering her. All the Harry Potter books were aimed for her head it seemed, especially the fifth. “OWOWOWOWOWOW!” She screamed, her body became covered with all these children’s books. She realized she had to be in the PZ section of the library, on that everyone messed up on purpose. Covered with the likes of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Little House on the Prairie, Charlotte’s Web, as well as the entire Percy Jackson series, she was glad that, while she felt horribly bruised and like her left arm was broken, that she wasn’t dead. And then the last book feel with amazing force and broke her neck. It was Breaking Dawn, and the book had finally killed someone.

Over looking their carnage the Were-Librarians smiled. They had to go back to the “party” but not before taking something to write with.

The hall had become slightly deserted since most people had run off to do other things. The Were-Librarians like it that way, they could work in private.

Autume looked up from her phone after awhile and saw the message written in blood on the wall. ‘We’re back for our revenge, sincerely, your Were-Librarians’ it read. She screamed and ran for someone for help.

Mac and Brinn stared at it, too horror struck to even move. Everyone came back into the room.

“What are we going to do? Where’s Lari and Mira-“ but Hakon’s question was cut off when Nerwen help up to polorids that were left under the message. They showed Mira and Lari’s deaths.

“Oh, this is not good,” Formendacil commented.

Let the speculations begin! You may still do a few in-character stuff if you like. As always, narrations have no clues in them.

[Boromir88]

Boro looked a bit ruffled, but he wasn't sure if that was from the snapshots of Mira and Lari, or trying to see how much french he remembered with sally.

"Are we sure this is real? Maybe...its l-l-ike a joke or something. Lari always had the best pranks. Alonariel, remember that time, on April Fools, when you actually came bursting in the boys bathroom, shouting Lari was hurt? She was in Miss Tolvers room, unconscious up against the wall, what looked like blood on the wall and everywhere? I was so frantic, frozen about what to do, and then came the feint 'April Fools!' The supposed blood, turning out to be ketchup, wiped on my white shirt. Ha she was quite the...um" Boro apparently lost his words again after momentarily being lost in a good memory "well I m-m-ean that was...much better...than my prank with cellotape and a red stapler. Definitely b-b-better"

Anyway...I'm on to you two. "Mira! Lari!You can come out now. " Boro tried to portray confidence and that he was right, and around the corner, would appear Mira and Lari. They would be looking disappointed as they had been figured out so quickly. "Any second now, right around that corner...you'll see. Yes...you'll s-see them. Lari we know...you're hiding and you can hear us...Mira! C-c-come out!"

[alonariel]

Alona was horrified at the news of her best friend's and classmate's demise. Her first instinct was to find them and see if they were all right, if there was anything she could do...she'd assisted surgeons before on cases, maybe there was something she could do...

Boro's voice brought her from her thoughts, and she tried to smile at the hilarious memory of her and Lari's April Fool's plan years ago.

"The cafeteria lady wanted to help us get back at the boys for always getting thirds and fourths at lunch," Alona said, remembering how the woman had supplied the ketchup for their little prank.

But, looking at the faces around her, she doubted this was a prank...

[Boromir88]

(P.S. and if we don't start getting more than 1.5 posts an hour I'm not going to be a happy camper, and that probably won't be good for anyone. Enough cold feet, let's get going.)

Edit: crossed with Alona, at least someone's here

[satansaloser2005]

Sorry. Didn't mean to be gone so long but I had to fix my makeu-

Oh. My. You've gotta be kidding me.

*glances at Mira, gags*

Who would do that to someone? You know, it wouldn't surprise me if it was just another trick by her and La....*sees the picture of Lari, decides not to mention that the seventh Harry Potter is bigger than the fifth and would have been a better choice, clears throat*....Lari....

Okay, first of all, someone around here has the strangest sense of humor ever. That's a bit sick, people. Books should never be used to kill people.

Second of all, it couldn't have been Boro and I because....well, we were busy elsewhere. Now that I've come out of the closet....I mean, now that I'm back....I think I'll be able to help. Or at least give it a shot. I'm sure I can figure out who the killers are if I get into their heads, try to think like they would.

Best take a look at Nienna first; she's got even more 'paint on her shirt now. Odd....

[Nienna]

Nienna wanders back toward the masses with a stack of watercolor drawings in hand. Everyone is standing around looking subdued. She looks around the crowd questioningly and Formendacil leans over and whispers what has happened.

Nienna is overcome with grief. She desperately wants to run back to the art room where she knows that it's safe and where she can let her emotion out but her classmates need her here.

She is contemplative for a moment or two and thinks the Twilight thing is oddly apropos.

She shakes it off and puts on a brave face while wandering over to Alona hoping that maybe she has a popsicle hidden somewhere that she will share.

[wilwarin538]

Oh my my my, Wilwa thinks in a panic as she takes out her cell phone and calls her kids quickly, #3 answers the phone and she quickly says, "Tell all your brothers and sisters that I love them..." That's all she gets out before the phone goes dead and she forgot her charger at home.

With a sigh of distress she walks back to the group and tries to listen to the panicked talking that is going on.

"Perhaps Sally and Boro are actually in on this together? Maybe Mac isn't as shy as he's pretending to be? Brinn is kinda scary...."

[wilwarin538]

note: since the deadline for me is 1 o'clock in the morning, I'll have to vote within the next 3 hours. I'll be here on and off within that time, if there still isn't anything really to go on then I will choose someone and try to be logical in my choice and vote then.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea, not entirely sure why she's still thinking in third person, stumbles into focus. (Worst. First. Day. Of. Work. Ever.)

Maybe I'll post for realsies later. For now, I'm taking some Advil and waiting for Kelly to feed me.

Please don't kill me. I'm too exhausted to care, and it would be really, really horrible to die on Day One two games in a row.

[satansaloser2005]

+Fea

Only actors are allowed to think in third person.


(Note to the moddesses: Please to be noting that there's only one plus sign, so it doesn't count. Just making sure you didn't count that, because I'd feel awful.)

Perhaps you're not the sweet graceful wilwa I remember? Having 9 kids can certainly change someone's demeanor...it would mine...It's ok if it was just an accident, wilwa. I would testify for you, temporary insanity driven by the stress of raising 9 rambunctious children.

You don't want to try to go for my record of 3 straight Day 1's and 4 of 5? I consider that string one of my greatest accomplishments.

I look at the bodies in horror. How could someone do such a thing? I mean watching CSI is one thing, but to see this for real!

I've never been one to go for pain or death. I remember taking a trip to the morgue and nearly passing out, and that was with no body! I look at the bodies and remember to breath in and out, in and out. I lean against the wall to hold me up. After all I'm a geek, and I don't need to be passing out in front of everybody. I don't mind getting attention for my car, but passing out is a whole other story.

I just realized Mac was one of the guests, this is most unusual. So...

They're actually perfect little angels thank you very much (especially #7), they cause me no stress what so ever. So there.

Wow, still not too much happening then.

I'm gonna wait another hour, by then I may be tempted to make some random suspicion list based on what's been said today. Though it will be stretching to find anything really incriminating.....

I begin to finally calm down. My nerves are still pretty frayed, but at least I'm not about ready to pass out. As I begin to come back to my senses I realize we should probably call the police. However I'm not sure if someone has already done this yet or not. Since I don't see any EMTs around, I pull out my phone only to realize that there is no signal.

"Great! No signal! How am I supposed to call to the outside world without a signal?" I mutter angrily to myself.

Edit: x-ed with Wilwa

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Shasta grimaced.

I can't decide which was worse... that Lari was killed by a copy of Breaking Dawn or that Mira was "impaled" on a cart that's as wide as she is.

"I used to love this section of the library," he remarked, leaving the P-Z section behind and heading up to the front desk.

"Were-Librarians.... I vaguely remember them. Some kind of cult that developed back in the library storeroom, right?"

Oh please tell me you're not one of those moms. That may even be worse than losing your sanity to a host of younglings. I'm not going to be seeing you in my office next year, tearing my head off after I give "#7" a detention for shooting spitballs all over the classroom, you telling me how xe's such a perfect angel at home, and it must just be my teaching? If you are I will put your name down now on a list of parents to avoid.

I need to find those jello shots, wherever she ran off with them, I'll return with random observations about a few people. I will take care of one now though:

That's bought you a no-vote from me on Day 1...that is as long as it gets a "C" from me.

Edit: crossed with Shasta

[Nienna]

Ok... so as much as I don't really thing Day One's have much to go on and are mostly arbitrary I have come up with this list.

Sally: Love her though I do, there is something about her posts so far that have made me wary... maybe it's just that she has been a wolf in the past few games we have played together...
Fea: Won't vote for purely for self-preservation
Hakon: Hasn't posted yet.
Boro: Asked for a lot of speculation and then voted Mac just because he hasn't posted yet.
Autume98: Posted mostly in character and nothing really for me to suspect (as much as day one can have speculations)
Nerwen: Her one post seems rather fine
Nessa: Same as Nerwen
Wilwa: Mostly talks about her children, calls them by number rather than name, random speculation about a few people... do with that information what you will.
Mac: Hasn't posted
Shasta: Speculates about the WereLibrarians
Formendacil: Hasn't posted (RL things??)
Alonariel: Posted a few times, gets the Newbie pass
Brinn: See Formy

[alonariel]

Just returned from a six hour shift with the kiddies. Can't...see...straight...

At least I know I get the Newbie pass from one person, thank you Nienna! *gives cherry popsicle*

As for speculation...Sally seemed to literally be on the prowl for Boro until Lari walked in on them. Wilwa's love for her kids could be masking something else possibly...? I'm not sure - still so new at this.

[wilwarin538]

Ok. So a list, and I have just included those who have actually posted today:

Boro: no really, they are angels (7 is a girl), if they ever do throw spitballs in your class though I won't interfere with the punishing....but it won't happen, haha. Seriously though, no bad vibes from him.

Alonariel: Newbie pass today

Sally: talks about Boro....alot. She always confuses me, it's a general rule.

Shasta: kinda hurt that he "pointedly ignored" me, but otherwise I'm not pushed in either directions for him

Nerwen: nothing weird in her single post

Nienna: made a list! Good girl!

Nessa: haven't played with her before, so I'm wanting to keep her around for at least today......and her name is my RL name, so I like her

Fea: had a bad first day at work and therefore don't want to make it worse for the poor dear, so will leave her be for today....though she seems fine anyways

Autume: see Nessa just cut out the last part


So.....this has gotten me no where. Really nothing much to go on, so I'm at a loss for the moment. Only have about another half hour before I fall asleep, so I'll just be hanging around until then. And then I shall vote...for whom, I don't know....

edit: fixed Autume to a girl, sorry!!!!!

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Isn't autume a girl?

List of all you lovely, lovely people forthwith.

[satansaloser2005]

Well it looks like Wilwa is heading back to her room early. Can hardly blame her; I was once in a play where I had six young kids and in between scenes they'd drive me insane. Maybe tomorrow I'll teach her some relaxation exercises that I picked up a couple years ago. Can't hurt.

I don't know if it's the memories of her annoying cheers or the way she looked at me when she heard I was leaving here to cacth a plane for my next gig on Broadway, but I've got a bad feeling about Nerwen.

Hmmmm. I think I need something to drink and a while to collect my thoughts. If anyone needs me I'll be in my room for a couple hours.



EDIT: x'd with Wilwa. PS, Tum is a girl. Just sayin'.

EDIT 2: Whoops, also x'd with Shasta
