Tol-in-Gaurhoth LXIX: Were-Librarians - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

autume98 · 08-03-2009, 05:11 PM

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.

Boromir88 · 08-03-2009, 05:28 PM

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

autume98 · 08-03-2009, 05:44 PM

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 · 08-03-2009, 06:08 PM

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?"

Nienna · 08-03-2009, 06:09 PM

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 · 08-03-2009, 06:25 PM

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 · 08-03-2009, 06:55 PM

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 · 08-03-2009, 07:07 PM

Isn't autume a girl?

List of all you lovely, lovely people forthwith.

satansaloser2005 · 08-03-2009, 07:10 PM

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

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-03-2009, 07:30 PM

Boro - Just banter so far, really. Odd vote for Mac, though.

Alonariel - Nothing alarming, plus newbie equals pass today.

Sally - Immeditately tries to clear herself and Boro... one to watch.

Nerwen - Only one post so far? Granted she's normally online pretty late, my time, but still...

Nienna - Quiet, as per usual with her. No alarms.

Nessa - Quiet, but not abnormally so.

Fea - One IC post, one "I'm sick" post. Gets a pass today.

Autume - Seems delightfully vengeful in her first post. In character, yes, but... I don't know.

Wilwa - Talks about her kids a lot, possibly hiding behind IC but I doubt it.

Macalaure · 08-03-2009, 07:41 PM

I fear the shy kid has been more silent than he intended to (busy day

).

Boro, everything's alright with you?

I see a few awfully early lists there, hmm... need a closer at those: it's an easy way to appear useful while not being useful (I mean, yes, lists are nice to sum up thoughts and such, but how much actual content can there be in them after so little posting so far?), but it's also a genuine opportunity for a librarian to stumble early by trying to hard to appear useful.

It's alright Wilwa. I'll forgive ya!

Sally - hasn't done anything to make me suspicious of her. Pretty much has a thing for Boro.
Fea - has won my sympathy for today.
Hakon - hasn't posted
Boro - apparently has a thing for Sally as well. Although he was eying Lari earlier. However Lari is now dead.
Nerwen - nothing that stands out
Nessa - same as Nerwen
Wilwa - put me in the male category at some point

however it's probably all the confusion from dealing with all 9 of her kids.
Nienna - was in the art room most of the day
Shasta - nothing that stands out
Formendacil - hasn't posted
Alonariel - newbie so gets free pass
Brinn - hasn't posted

Edit: x-ed with post #42 to this one

Well, sweetheart, I tried to start up a conversation, but no one would talk to me...

I've only just been able to get online and read through the more recent posts. Sally's were making me quite uneasy, even before I got to the part where she votes me for "bad vibes" (based on my one bantering post). Looks very opportunistic to me, when I already had a random vote from Fea.

EDIT: X'd with Nienna and Hakon.

wilwarin538 · 08-03-2009, 07:39 PM

Autume has now been tranformed into a girl in my above post, my apologies for that little mix up, never played with her before so I guessed....anyway, yeah, sorry about that...

So I am exhausted from all of todays events (in RL and in the game). Therefore I shall vote.

For whom? Not really sure....I'm honestly good with everyone, mainly cause there hasn't been a heck of a lot from everyone.

So actually, I'm thinking I shall refrain from voting, since I'm not comfortable voting for anyone who has spoken, and I dislike voting for silent types on Day 1....maybe if the deadline wasn't so late I'd end up with more to go on, but for now I don't so this is where I'll leave it.

Good luck to you all today!

Nienna: runs off to make art whenever the opportunity arises. That should always be rewarded, not disciplined.

Sally: is a sweet girl and might stop helping me procrastinate on my massive amounts of school work (it never ends, even after multiple diplomas) if I kill her.

Hakon: has done nothing to cause me to notice him. He is a him, right?

Boro: should probably be killed just in case.

Autume98: gets a newbie pass from me due to the fact that the only other game we were both in, I died too early to give anybody anything.

Nerwen: concerns me greatly at all times because I can't read her at all. Not even a little. Ever.

Nessa: is strapped to the belly of Rudolph, as far as my attention goes. I hope she does something noticeable...

Wilwa: is contributing to global warming by way of babymaking. Kill her!!! (

)

Mac: Bubbles?

Shasta: *shrug*

Formendacil: is online, of this I am certain. But has he posted?

Alonariel: n00b. With excellent taste in a great number of things, such as popsicles.

Brinn: is a sneak when she's a sneak, and is of help when she's of help, and I could kill her or not and it would barely cause me to shrug.

Who shall I vote for on this lovely, useless Day 1?

satansaloser2005 · 08-03-2009, 07:52 PM

Has Brinn posted, by the way? I don't remember anything but....well, you know me....

ETA: Duh, my mistake. Brinn's gone. Forgot, sorry.

Fea, Fea--that's just mean! Using the Internet against me, and before I've even had a chance to shower after a weekend-long camping trip! And while reading up on (an admittedly shortish) Day 1 at that! For shame!

I shall not, however, hold it against you... since it's my own fault I'm not, probably, invisible yet...

I shall go see to that...
