WWJ XI: When World's Collide - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Glirdan · 09-09-2006, 04:01 PM

Day 2 had been an eventful Day, full of discussion, accusations and (in two cases) deceit. After the shocking death (and disappearence) of JennyHallu, the villagers had quite a bit to discuss.

Finally, at the end of the Day, Wilwa gathered the villagers together once more to vote. But she decided to do it differently this time. "Instead of going into a booth, you will all say you're votes out loud."

The villagers took it in turn to say their votes. The one person who did not vote was Naria. In fact, she had been gone for most of the Day. The words that were written on the sheet that was left behind by Glirdan rang in their ears.

If you do not vote or post for two days you will meet an untimely death!!

Finally, all the votes were gathered together.

"And this is how the votes work out," Wilwa had said as she had been keeping track of them in her mind.

"Naria - 2
Diamond - 5
Lommy - 1
Valier - 1
Macalaure - 1
Kath - 1

This means that Diamond has been chosen to be the one lynched," she said solemnly.

The other villagers rounded on Diamond. "Let's tie her up quickly, before she can turn into a Werewolf!" Sleepy cried. They quickly gathered up rope and tied her up.

"Okay, now what do we do?" Valier asked.

"Hmmm, well....We could...uh...ummm..." Nogrod started.

"Let's just hang her," Kath suggested venomously. So they dragger her off to the gallows, which really wasn't a gallows but was in fact the sign hanging off of Volo's Inn. They removed the sign and tied the rope to the post sticking out of the building. They stood Diamond on a box.

"Any last words Wolf!?" Lommy said vindictively.

"Yes. I wish you luck in finding these dirty great brutes that have convinced you that I am one of them," and she held her head up high. Macalaure advanced and kicked the box out from under her. Diamond fell and with a sickening snap, her neck broke. The villagers watched patiently, but nothing happened. Diamond was, in fact, innocent.

The villagers walked away slowly. Boromir stayed behind to remove the body while muttering "I am glad that she wasn't a Wolf becaue poor Volo would have a Wolf hanging in front if she was," and walked to the edge of the village to burry the body of another innocent.

Valier had sat up late last Night reading, hoping to try and calm her nerves from the Day before. But it did nothing to ease her. She had mistakenly read the same line over and over again, to preoccupied to notice.

When she had finally dosed off, it was then that she heard a noise outside her house. It was the noise she had been dreading. She rose from her bed and went into her study where she kept a dagger in her desk drawer. She turned to go back into her room and screamed.

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

The villagers rose the next morning feeling quite depressed as they had killed one of their own the Day before. The took a quick head count and noticed that there was once again one less villager. They looked around at each other and figured out that it was Valier.

They slowly walked over to her house, dreading what they would find there. But when they arrived, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Her door was locked shut and all the windows were intact.

"Okay, I'm sick of this," Sleepy said angrily and he took the hilt of his sword and smashed a window. He climbed through, went to the front door and unlocked it to let the others in.

Once everyone was inside, they began to search the house. It didn't take them long to find where she was. They walked into her study and noticed a bloody mess right in the middle of the carpet, but there was no body, just the blood.

They looked around the study and found the dagger that she had kept in her desk. It was covered in blood.

Macalaure had been looking around the bookshelves when he let out a bloodcurdilng yell. There, right in front of him was Valier's head with deep gashes across them and her mouth open that plainly said she had been yelling in fright.

They looked along all the shelves and found the rest of her body pieces. All the villagers, with the exception of Boromir, ran out of the house in horror.

"Well, this is going to be fun," Boromir said sarcastically before going to work.

Okay, I'll let you all start posting now. Wolves stop PMing. Good luck.

Nogrod · 09-10-2006, 04:46 PM

Nogrod staggered to the square. His head was more than humming this morning. He was out of reach of any reason or shared feeling. He was inside his private world of fairies and pancakes. But he remembered a thing or two of the last Day

"So Valier? She might have given us the hunch man! Brothers... hear this

But as I said yesterday, we should look at Kath more closely toDay. Also it's funny that Maca has not been suspected by anyone... Something wrong here? Surely I admit of trusting him this far, but just to note it here. As I tend to trust Boro as well, even toDay if nothing comes to make myself see the things differently...

Funny. Or somewhat horrifying. The wolves might be afraid of the ranger, naturally, but they have not killed any of the ones they kind of should be afraid of as openly arguing persons. Are they so secure of themselves or are they just the persons we would think them to kill - or to let live because this kind of questioning would come about anyhow and then we would make the kill ourselves?

And also, what is the reason behind their kills? Have Valier or Jenny said something too alarming or were they just easy and clean kills? Or have Boro or Maca (or myself) claimed one or two of them too openly so that they have not dared to kill the one?

And how long will we carry these one-liner guys along? Not that they are the most suspect, but even one of them as a wolf would be a disaster and the death of us all...

Needs to see, needs to see..." Nogrod said and headed to the bar in where he passed off after a shot.

Boromir88 · 09-10-2006, 05:00 PM

'Well, yesterday didn't go as well as the day before, but I'm rather confident our fortunes will change to day. Why?' Boromir questioned, looking at everyone. 'It is a great fortune to have our Seer and our Ranger still alive, we shall definitely be rewarded because of their skill in keeping hidden.'

Boromir turned his attention to Valesse, 'My dear Valesse, be prepared, for the searcher of death will come down on thee today.'

Then he addressed Volo, 'Based on your replies yesterday, you've won me over. If you're a wolf, you deserve the win for completely fooling me and pulling one over. But, you've pretty much have won me over and convinced me of your innocence, because of the manner of your posts yesterday. I hope you can offer some more thought and insight.'

Boro, all I can say to you is....what are you talking about?!

'I really have no idea what you are trying to point out.' Boromir stood confused. 'Of course I repeat myself, as I can show you where probably everyone repeats themselves, and as people repeat what I say, and I repeat what other's say and so on. Of course I repeat myself (there I repeated myself again), I really don't see a point. Most of the time I repeat myself to explain what I meant to those who ask me, and to make sure people understand clearly what I'm saying. For example, with the Kath summary thing-a-majig, people were wondering why I found so suspicious of it, so I went back and explained more, which means...yep I would have to repeat myself. I really don't see what you're trying to point out (oh there I repeated myself again)."

Gil-Galad · 09-10-2006, 07:15 PM

wow... there goes my suspicons... do you know that the werewolves have either saved me or condemned me, because if i wanted to vote valier i wouldn't have killed her as a werewolf... very paradoxing eh?

Naria · 09-10-2006, 08:36 PM

Naria was not at all impressed byBoro's sarcasm. "What do you mean...what do I mean? I will not, like you, repeat myself...I think I made myself clear enough. Your reaction, however does solidify many unanswered queries I had."

She turned to Gil next, "Ahh not true you cwazy chef....that may be just what a furry fiend might want to convey to the rest of us. Why would one vote for someone and that very night kill her off....hmmm why indeed."

Naria was getting tired and was soon to head to her quarters for a nap. She would sit for awhile longer and wait for more villagers to appear.

Naria · 09-10-2006, 04:59 PM

Even the hardened warrior couldn't keep her stomach from turning at the sight of Valier's demise. She immediately ran out of the house and could no longer hold back the vomit that had risen in her throat. Naria wiped her mouth and turned to the others..."I have formed an opinion on all of you, some are more definite in my mind...some are not so definite." She cleared her throat and began...

Naria started off with the people that she didn't have a clear picture of. "Valesse, I cannot pin down as of yet....you seemed to have a pretty sturdy position on me and then turn around and apologized yesterDay, I am not sure what to make of this. Naria went on, "Gil...well what can I say, Gil is Gil and I never know what to make of his 'one-liner' posts, but probably innocent. "The last one is Kath...I am not really getting any 'bad' vibes off of her, but that is exactly what worries me...she keeps her position pretty much neutral throughout and it has bitten ordo's on the behinds before. I will continue to be wary of her.

Naria turned and talked to the ones that she had more questions for and more troublesome feelings of. "Nogrod, I realize that you are trying to stay 'in character', but I am not sure what you are doing. My lorebooks tell me that you are a person that takes the bull by the horns per se, but you are not...you are interested in keeping the talkers around but other than that there isn't much in the way of leadership from you. Infact, you are quite the opposite. She went on to the next person, Boro, all I can say to you is....what are you talking about?! You seem to want to make a point, but by the end of your posts it just comes across as a reiteration of your last posts. Even in the post that one is reading there is reiterating yourself over and over...you just reword the paragraph to make it look different. If you have a point, I implore you toDay to make it clearer. Sleepy, you seem to be hiding something and your thoughts aren't exactly clear to me. At least your voting has stayed consistent, alas though that is another reason for me to not know what to make of you. Next on the list was Lommy. Naria continued, "I know that you are an Elf and feel the need to be trusting, but I can't help wonder why. Naria once again referred to her lorebooks, "You are not so trusting in other villages that I have read, especially on Day two when no one should be trusting of anyone. You my pointy eared friend are being uncomfortably trusting and therefore I will keep my eye on you. Mac was the next one to be scrutinized, "First off...I find you to be one of my top suspects mainly for your banterings where you seem to know a little too much on how werewolved woud/should act f.ex.

I mean sure they might(and most likely do),but who in Arda would come right out and say that...that post sounds like you are bragging and trying to see if you can get away with it. Naria paused to think for a moment and went on, "Volo, you seem to have an uncanny ability to know how each player should be acting even though this would be your first stay with a village of this sort. You also seem to know what to say at the right time...almost like you are being guided. Maybe you aren't, but it just seems strange that you know so much about certain villagers and how they would act.

Naria had come to the end of her list and decided to leave the villagers with their thoughts. She really needed something to drink after that, so she meandered over to the inn and asked Wilwa for a nice tall cold pint of ale.
