Footie, you've never worked in a green house. Dead-heading is where you pop the dead or dying blooms off of plants to encourage new growth. I imagine that could be turned into the most fantastic death narrative...

Don't you ever remember playing "mama had a baby and her head popped off" with dandelions? Or was that a local thing?

Hehe...dead-heading is something my grandmother does extensively, though only to her own garden.

I've worked in a greenhouse. When shipments of plants come in from suppliers, you've got hours of deadheading to look forward to to clean everything up. And petunias get sticky when it's hot out.

I see that everybody else but me have chosen their professions. Well, I'll be a landlady.

Oh well, guess I'll play some other time. It seems I just have a very busy summer.

That sounds terribly morbid! Though it works for this game, I guess.

I've done some PM'ing, and Wilwa and Kitanna have both said they'd like to play. So that's 17 players, all the gifted roles can be used.

So Kitanna and Wilwa, if both of you could let me know what your village job would be...

Dancing Spawn - Landlady
Durelin - Dead-header of flowers (has selective memory)
Elf-warrior - Butcher
Encai - Wandering gypsy
Eomer - Generous dancer
Feanor - Pathological liar
Kath - Undertaker
Kitanna - Town crier
Lhuna - Lhunatic
LMP - Local stuffy old astrologer
Mormegil - Official executioner
Nilp - Suspicious wolf breeder
Oddwen - Tourist
Oromin - Musician
Saurreg - Shepherd
TGWBS - Blacksmith
TORE - Weedgrower
Wilwa - Town Troubadour

Yep, I used to do that... didn't know it had a name, though.

But you're right, that could be a really great death...
