Werewolf XLVIII: When Virtual Becomes Reality - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Deadline. Silence!

Eönwë has been lynched.

Brinniel · 07-17-2008, 06:35 PM

With now only five BDers remaining, the camp was growing increasingly smaller and therefore quieter. But with one more wolf still around, the day resumed as usual.

Each BDer took the time to voice their suspicions. Nogrod and Kitanna agreed that Eönwë seemed the most likely wolf among them.
Eönwë fired back remarking, “I say we kill Kitanna! Something’s not right about her…”
Rikae disagreed with the idea of Eönwë’s guilt. “I think he’s innocent,” she said. “But as for Nogrod…there we might have a wolf. Why else is he still alive?”
And so the decision came to Aganzir. “Errr…..ummm….well….. Eönwë it is,” she decided.

The four BDers picked up their pitchforks and torches and brought Eönwë to the same tree where they had first hung the Sixth Wizard. But instead of stringing him up by the neck, they hung him upside down by the ankles.
“Oh c’mon guys, this is extremely uncomfortable,” complained an upside down Eönwë.
“Will you confess?” asked Nogrod.
“Of course I won’t,” he replied. “Because I told you…I’m not a wolf. I’m innocent, I swear!”
“Hmm….too bad,” said Kitanna. “But I’m sure batting him around in a game of piñata ought to reveal a thing or two…”
“Nah,” Rikae responded. “Frankly I’m too tired to do any killing today. Why don’t we just leave him to the mosquitoes?”
“That’s actually a good idea,” said Aganzir.

Once they came up with a plan, the four BDers (including Nogrod) ran to their tents to retrieve their own bottles of scented hairspray. Then they returned to the hanging Eönwë and proceeded to spritz him with hair product, covering him from head to toe. There they left a now sticky Eönwë kicking and screaming, and resumed preparing dinner and their usual chores.

The BDers had such a pleasant evening sharing stories around the campfire as they ate their dinner, they had completely forgotten about Eönwë for most of the evening, only barely remembering him just before heading to bed. They returned to the tree to find poor Eönwë swinging limply from the branch completely covered by mosquitoes. Those pesky insects had sucked him dry.

There had been no change, and the BDers quickly realised they had lynched the wrong person. It was an unfortunate mistake (for the innocents, that is)….but on the bright side, at least Eönwë had provided them for once a mosquito-free evening.

Night 8 has begun.

The final wolf may send me their kill. And as usual, everyone should remain silent.

Brinniel · 07-18-2008, 05:07 PM

That night, one of the BDers awoke to the sound of sobbing outside. Concerned, he crawled out of his sleeping bag and stepped out of his tent. By the fire pit sat a figure burying her face and crying.

“What’s the matter?” the BDer asked the sobbing shape.
“Oh, like you would care,” she replied bitterly.
“Of course I do,” he said approaching her. “I just wanna help. Tell me-“ He stopped, suddenly noticing this crying figure was a lot furrier than normal. “Wait a minute,” he realised. “You’re the werewolf.”
“Yeah yeah, I’m wolf,” she said. “Now go ahead and run away, little man. That’s what you all do.”
“Well lucky for you, I’m not like everyone else.” The BDer sat down next to the wolf and put his arms around her. “Now tell me what is wrong.”
“It’s just…nobody likes me. Everyone wants me dead. I can’t help that I like to eat people….it’s just my nature. And now that all my mates are dead, I’m all alone and I have no one to talk to.” The wolf buried her head into the BDer’s lap and sobbed loudly. “I’m so lonely!”
“There, there,” the BDer said, stroking her fur. “Everything will be alright.” He cradled the sad wolf as though she were a small child.

They sat there for several minutes. As the BDer comforted the werewolf, her sobs slowly quieted until she was silent.
Then she finally spoke in almost a whisper: “I can’t believe you actually fell for that.”
“Huh?” replied the confused BDer.
Before he realised what was happening, the wolf suddenly turned around and shoved the BDer to the ground. She giggled delightfully as she ripped open his chest and tore out his organs. Unfortunately for him, the other two BDers never heard his screams as the werewolf ate his insides.

--------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, three BDers emerged from their tents to find the remains of Nogrod spread out throughout the camp. The three girls looked at each other realising they were the only ones left. Yet, one of them was the wolf responsible for this mess.

This was the last day. Today they would have to do this right. Anymore mistakes…and they were goners.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The final day has begun.

The three remaining may now discuss.

Rikae · 07-18-2008, 05:18 PM

Oh, what a situation. As far as I'm concerned, you both look like wolves - Aganzir has been voting like a wolf, and Kitanna has been posting like one since the beginning (as I mentioned other times). Ack.

One thing that I've wanted to mention since yesterDay evening is this:

Now, talk about seemingly knowing too much... Aganzir, if you were so certain Eönwë was not the wolf (i.e., the game would continue toDay), why did you vote for him? Also, why were you so sure you would be alive toDay?
I suppose Nogrod's death makes sense. I expected I would be killed, but since I was the one seriously looking at him yesterDay, killing him sets me up for lynching toDay.
My gut is telling me Aganzir is a wolf (and has been doing so since her vote for Form), but logic tells me she wuoldn't have killed Eomer...

Rikae · 07-18-2008, 05:48 PM

Isn't anyone else going to discuss things toDay? Two of us have to agree on a vote... I know one of you is innocent... we have to get this right. Doesn't anybody have any thoughts?
Aganzir, what do you think of Kitanna? Kitanna, what do you think of Aganzir? Ok, you're married.

Seriously - I have time to talk now, but tomorrow I'll be working all day & won't be able to participate until the last few hours before DL. I hope that doesn't mean I'll come back to find you've both voted for me when I couldn't defend myself... (and in that case, I swear, the village loses).

Kitanna · 07-18-2008, 09:09 PM

I've been going back and forth on her for a while. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what to think. I really need to sleep and I will only have a few hours to post before being whisked away to my job.

It'd be nice to at least here from Agan and even again from you Rikae before I have to vote, but I know that can be wishful thinking.

When I get up I'll look through at Agan (since I've already done so with Rikae) and I'll make my vote from there.

Because I figured Nogrod would be more dangerous for you, and I trusted Kitanna a bit more than Eönwë. I was not sure of Eönwë's innocence, naturally, but you made me more confident about it at the end of the day, so to say.

I didn't say I was sure I would be alive today. I thought I could well be killed since no one seemed to think I would have attacked Eomer.

And if you had killed Kitanna, it would have pointed to you because she made a case on you and somewhat suspected you anyway. If you had killed me, it would have pointed to you because I think it was pretty clear I would be suspecting you today.
And why do you claim you expected to be killed? Surely there were people who were suspected less than you (like, pretty much everybody else), and a wolf doesn't want to leave clearly innocents around for the last day.

Nog's death makes sense to me because he was generally considered innocent.

I think Kitanna is innocent. I did suspect her pretty heavily earlier, but over the last few days I've been more and more inclined to think her innocent. And I'm also rather sure Rikae is the wolf.

I dare say I'm going to vote for you today. And really, those threats don't work.

And if we're both innocent and Kitanna is laughing at us now... Well, then I guess she deserves the victory.

I'm going to take a quick look at Rikae now and see if there's anything that wasn't in Kit's analysis that I'd like to mention.

Rikae · 07-19-2008, 04:25 AM

Hmm, ok, off to work now, and things really aren't any clearer. I don't want to vote until I've heard from both of you toDay. I'll be back about 3 hours before DL.

EDIT: Apparently I crossed with Agan - and didn't notice that until now.
