WW LXXV: It's Always Tea Time Here

[Brinniel]

Yeah, you'll have to explain that toMorrow because I find lynching a potential wolf more beneficial.

I don't if I don't suspect her. Anyway...*shushes*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Alirin ran and ran down the path, trying her hardest not to cry after her terrible encounter with the Hunter Queen and the Headless King. She grew tired of running after a while and started to walk again. Not long and she heard some crying again.

She turned a corner and saw an odd creature sitting on a rock and crying. Alirin walked up to him slowly and asked him why he was so dreadfully upset.

“Sit down,” the Mock Turtle said, “and don’t say a word until I’m finished.” So Alirin sat down.

“Once, I was a real Turtle” the Mock Turtle said with a mournful sigh. This was followed by an extraordinarily long pause.

“When we were little,” he finally continued, “we went to school, and the master was an old turtle – we used to call him Tortoise...”

“Why did you call him Tortoise if he wasn’t one?” Alirin asked.

“We called him Tortoise because he taught us,” the Mock Turtle said angrily, “you are very dull!”

“What courses did you take in school?” Alirin asked, ignoring his insult.

“Reeling and Writhing of course, to begin with-“ the Mock Turtle said, “and then the different branches of Arithmetic – Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”

“I never heard of “Uglification”” Alirin said.

“Well then,” the Mock Turtle said, “if you don’t know what to uglify is, you are a simpleton.”

“What else did you learn?” Alirin asked, feeling rather bored and annoyed with the insults.

“There was Mystery, ancient and modern, Seaography, Drawling, Stretching and Fainting in Coils.” the Mock Turtle answered, counting each subject on his flappers.

“How many hours of lessons did you do a day?”

“10 the first day, 9 the next, and so on...” the Mock Turtle said, with another deep sigh.

“That is an odd plan!” Alirin exclaimed.

“That’s the reason they’re called lessons, because they lessen from day to day.” the Mock Turtle answered. This was again followed by a long moment of silence. Then the Mock Turtle began to sing.

Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Soo-oop of the e—e—evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup

Before Alirin could even react to the odd song a large bowl of soup flew out from behind a tree and smacked the Mock Turtle over the head. He sat there for a moment slightly dazed and waving back and forth when suddenly a spoon came out from behind the tree and hit him as well, causing him to drop dead off his rock.

Alirin walked away slowly and continued down the path, by now not at all shocked by the sudden death of everyone she met, and wanting more than ever to return home.

Alirin continued to walk down the path.

And she walked.

And she walked.

But she did not meet anyone interesting for quite some time.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It is now Day 6. No one died.

[Loslote]

Okay, so probably Cursed (unless there was a Ranger save). Now, looking at the past pattern of wolf-kills, they've been going for the people no one suspected, so who did they probably kill last Night?

Suspected pretty strongly
Nerwen

Suspected somewhat
Shasta
Skip
Mira

Suspected very little
Winty
Brinn

Suspected not at all
Lottie
Legate
Agan
Lommy

~~~

So perhaps one of the Europeans were Cursed? Or Brinn or WW? And probably one of the top two categories was the original wolf.

I don't know if it's safe to assume that, Lottie. What I'm really afraid of is that the last wolf may have been able to slip through without revealing any ties to his or her companions.

By the way, I'm not happy about the suspicion against me yesterDay. In my view the "case" against me was paper-thin– though it's true that it was going to be hard to make a really strong case against anyone at that point.

EDIT:X'd since Lottie.

[Nerwen]

So, that's either a Ranger-save, or the Cursed's been turned. (Or the wolf forgot to send in the kill.)

You're not going to tell us which, dear Moddess?

EDIT:X'd with Lottie.

[Brinniel]

wilwa, were you planning to let us know if the cursed was turned or the ranger made a save? Or are we left in the dark on this one?

Right now there's three scenarios:

1) the cursed was turned

2) the ranger successfully protected someone

3) the wolf didn't submit a kill

I'm hoping it's not number one.

EDIT: Just realised Nerwen said basically the same thing, heh.

Huh. That's interesting. This could either be two wolves planning this so that they look better or two innocents honestly thinking the same thing or one wolf and one innocent. I don't think it's the first one, though. It just seems so unlikely...and it could backfire so easily. So...I don't think Brinn and Nerwen are packmates from this.

[Brinniel]

Btw Lottie (and perhaps Shasta too), can you please explain to me how lynching an innocent Morsul is soo helpful to us? I'm really curious about this one.

I already stated this. Morsul was attracting attention and trying to get himself lynched. A lone wolf would not do that because he'd lose the game not just for himself, but his entire team. Giving up would be a selfish and lame move, and I didn't think Morsul would do that.

[Nerwen]

X'd with Lottie and Morsul.
