WW XXXIII - Other Minds and Hands - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rikae · 05-23-2007, 12:00 PM

The Downers had come to a consensus. It was better to kill the cobbler, and prolong their misery for a day or two longer, then to risk certain death on the morrow.

When the final vote was cast, the six executioners looked around for their victim; but the caterer was missing. The downers didn't have to search far, though...Gil noticed the light on in SPaM's trailer.

The soon-to-be malnourished cast and crew gathered around the door with various highly authentic prop weapons; Shasta knocked softly, then louder. Kath shouted "Mellon"! When no response came, Anguirel kicked down the door....

...the cook's trailer was papered with movie posters.
"Bad Taste"
"Heavenly Creatures"
"Lord of the Rings"

On one wall he had pasted a large glossy photo of Mark Ordesky and used it for dart practice.

A long shelf along the back of the trailer held countless grubby, greasy Oscars.

And swinging in slow and graceful circles from the ceiling fan by a noose made of film was the man himself...without his saucepan hat, easily recognized as the nefarious, diabolical Peter Jackson.

He had pinned a note to his chest, detailing how he had spied on some of them by slipping tiny microphones into their succotash and listening in to their nightly activities.

He concluded by exhorting the wolves to stop the production at any cost.

Day5 is over...night6 has begun. Sweet dreams!
*rubs her hands together in wicked glee*

Rikae · 05-24-2007, 12:00 PM

Alone in the studio, in the wee hours of the morning, Aganzir crouched on a table. She was eathing a raw fish with great relish (sweet Heinz brand hamburger relish); and singing a little song, seemingly completely off her guard.
But just as the two demonic creatures sneaking up behind reached for her, she whirled on them with a snarl and leapt on the closest one, wrapping her hands around its neck.
The other managed to pull her off, but she twisted in it's paws, and scratched and bit like a mad thing.
Despite her valient efforts, though, Aganzir was not a hunter. And when the first wolf finally pinned her down on the ground, she looked in its eyes and suddenly understood - too late - what the phrase the ghostly Professor had sent the night before had meant. Then the beast's enormous jaws descended, and the second medium saw no more.

Night6 is over. Day6 is here. Let the desperation begin...er, intensify!

Gil-Galad · 05-24-2007, 04:33 PM

oh wow, another medium... okay... so i am the first to psot too... hmm aganzir was right with his death last night...

(ha, Gollum and Smeagol were both mediums...)

after yesterday, i still would have perfered that we focused on a wolf rather then a cobbler but... if we lose an innocent today then wolves win...

suspicous A:
Shasta
Ang

suspicous B:
Kath
Diamond

i am following my 'trust know one' philosophy right now... but for lack of a better person to vote for, i will probably vote for... this is hard... right now it is between Ang and Kath

Edit: woops meant Ang not Shasta... too much school

Xed with Shasta

Shastanis Althreduin · 05-24-2007, 04:34 PM

Two mediums? Huh.

Evidently the wolves wanted a two-for-one kill; it's extremely lucky for me that Aganzir was bluffing about being a hunter, as I'd be so much dead meat right now. xD

I'm almost positive that Gil is a wolf, but I'll let others have their say before I vote.

Edit: Wow, x'ed with Gil. xD I think you beat me by, like, a millisecond.

Diamond18 · 05-24-2007, 04:55 PM

Wow. Slow day.

Okay, well that was interesting. So, if I recall what Volo said correctly, the medium gets riddles and it's up to them to figure out what it means. This narration seems to point to Agnazir interpreting the riddle incorrectly (And when the first wolf finally pinned her down on the ground, she looked in its eyes and suddenly understood - too late - what the phrase the ghostly Professor had sent the night before had meant.) This makes me inclined to believe that Shasta is innocent because apparently Agnazir believed him to be a wolf.

So that leaves Gil, Kath, and Ang. Of those three, I find Gil and Ang to be the most suspicious. I think there we have our last two wolves.

Kath · 05-24-2007, 06:50 PM

What the? Another medium? If I ever mod again I'm having just the simple roles and all of them will be clearly shown! I mean, this is great fun, but it's also madness!

Ah so. This really sucks but I am just not going to be here for this Day for numerous RL reasons. I apologise for this because it is seriously bad timing.

For this reason I must vote now.

++DIAMOND

She has slid under my radar from the beginning. I've barely even mentioned her. She says I look innocent when most others are thinking I look guilty. I don't know, this just seems like the right thing to do. I apologise that I have no time to base this on real reasoning, but this really is the only time I'm going to be on toDay unless I can sneak maybe an hour tomorrow afternoon.

Shastanis Althreduin · 05-24-2007, 07:49 PM

Hmm... Kath's already admitted she's not basing her vote on reasoning, and I don't see the evidence on Diamond... Also, suspicion was drifting towards Gil and Ang. I wonder if this isn't a desperation ploy by Kath to deflect suspicion on a teammate? If we don't execute a wolf today, we lose. Period.

Gil's highest on my suspicious list for his last minute retraction a few days ago, losing us Volo. Then there's Kath, who cast a critical vote just now for the one person whom there's no evidence on. Then Ang, who also made a retraction for Volo a few days ago. Then Diamond, who really hasn't done much of anything.

Right now, I'm torn between Gil and Kath.

Maddness!? THIS IS WEREWOLF!!!!

just had too

so, diamond has one vote now and everyone else is split between basically me and Ang..., well shasta is between me and Kath

++Ang

i suggest for the rest of you to not vote for any one else, focus on the two that have been voted for, ang or diamond... or be idiots and vote for someone different and have a mass suicide, that will definately show who the wolves are...
