All right, I'm here. I'll get back to you when I've done some reading.

EDIT: fixed quotes; x'd with Zil (have we settled on a nickname for him yet)?

Deadline now.

I'll be interested in watching the Hunter shenanigans tomorrow (well, for a little while anyway - cursed weekend away).

wilwarin538 · 05-28-2009, 08:00 AM

Narration will be up in about 10-15 minutes. Feel free to keep talking until then though. Once it's up, please stop.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-28-2009, 08:05 AM

Also, we need to think about reveals tomorrow. Concerning Hansel und Gretel, if there is a disputed claim then a smart village can work around that. That's why it could be beneficial to get them out in the open. I don't think a villain can successfully reveal as one of these characters.

Think on it, anyway.

I'd be inclined to leave that for later. I mean, there's Gaurcrist and tp in sore need of lynching before we can test any competing reveals. (unless Gaurcrist "reveals" as Hansel or Gretel. I think we could test that claim pretty quickly.

)

But still, it could work– worth considering, anyway.

I've had a really good feeling about Nerwen all game actually, though my instincts are notoriously hit or miss.

wilwarin538 · 05-28-2009, 08:23 AM

I had it all written....and it was amazing....and then my internet....*poof*

Narration will be up when I stop crying and re-write it....

K, I'm not really crying, but I am in shock....

I suppose you should all stop posting now

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-28-2009, 08:28 AM

I'll stop posting right after I say: I feel your pain. Happened to me a couple of times.

Good night, village.

wilwarin538 · 05-28-2009, 08:30 AM

Day 5 over.

So, I lost my narration, just *poof* gone. I'm in a rush now to go somewhere and do not have time to even write a simpler version. So I will save this spot and come back on tonight and write it then. Fea is indeed the Ugly Stepsister, as everyone suspected.

Night 6 has officially started. Please stop posting. Keep an eye out for the narration.

The sun set now on our little village once again. After not that much discussion the villagers began to gather in the town square. It was pretty obvious that Fea would be the one to be killed today so they began to gang up around her.

"Hold on! I want to tell you all a little story." Fea said with a flourish of her dress. Even though the sun had not completely set she was beginning to change back to her real self. "Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was a beautiful girl who got a lot of attention and received everything she wanted. She had a mother, a beautiful mother, who had lots of money but wanted a little bit of power. The mother decided to marry the king and became very happy, the little girl didn't mind so much either."

Fea was now twirling and dancing around in a very strange manner as the villagers watched in confusing. Her appearance was continually changing. She then began to sway in place and hummed to herself for a time before continuing. "Then one day, when the girl was grown, the beloved king passed away. It was all quite tragic. But the girl's mother still held the throne. The girl's future looked very promising. Then a little problem arose."

She said that last part very sharply, and the villagers eyed her in awe. She now looked exactly like herself, her amazing red hair flying in all directions as she paced around the small circle they had formed around her. She continued again, her tone now very cruel.

"The king's meddling son could take the thrown away from the queen with the simple words "I do". All he needed was his one true love." She said this last part quite sarcastically with a wave of her hands. "She wouldn't let that happen of course. That is why I'm here, and my allies. You may be ruining it all for me, taking away my chance to be queen someday, but you will not win. My mother will gain full control and you will all pay for what you have done to me!"

She yelled the last part quite forcefully and began to stomp over to the gallows. The villagers watched on as Fea marched up the steps and put the noose around her own neck. They all stared.

"Well, what are you fools waiting for? Can we get this over with please?" She demanded, crossing her arms and tapping her foot impatiently. They all looked at each other for a second until someone marched up and quickly pulled the lever.

They all watched for a moment in a state of surprise before returning to their homes. The remaing baddies walked their usual ways to the meeting place, quite dissapointed with their loss. The wielder of the looking glass and the Huntsman walked towards their own homes, each of them with a letter from the other tucked safely in their pockets, dreading what the night would bring them.

The dead:
Nienna - hung Day 1 - ordinary villager
Lommy – mauled Night 2 – ordinary villager
Mith - lynched Day 2 - Fair Maiden
Boro88 – yum, frog legs Night 3 – Frog-Prince
Sally – died of shear sorrow Night 3 - Princess
Shasta - shot by arrows Day 3 - ordinary villager
Gwath – defeated Night 4 – Prince Charming
Greenie – chopped up by the Robber Bridegroom middle of Day 4 - Cinderella
Aganzir - eaten by the kitties Day 4 – Rumpelstiltskin
Izzy – strangled Night 5 – Fairy Godmother
Fea - dramatic death scene Day 5 - Ugly Stepsister

The living:
Nerwen - bookmaker
Eomer - gravedigger
McCaber - humble shopkeeper
Mira - apothocary
Gaurcrist - blacksmith
Kath - restaurant owner
Inziladun - shruberrer's apprentice
Lari - fortune teller
the phantom - the crazy book liberator

Still Night 6, sorry for the lateness.
