Haha.

With that kind of voting we'll end up with three people at the same vote in a village where the last baddie was dreamt of...!

Luckily Sally was the first to gain the two she got...

Diamond18 · 11-06-2008, 01:39 PM

I don't care. I'm killing Gollum first.

So nyah.

(To be truly canonical, they'd have to vote for themselves, after all.)

Also, on an administrative note, Groin was not "modfired." He withdrew via PM.

Gollum the Great · 11-06-2008, 01:43 PM

Alright Nogrod. There's probably isn't much point in doing this, but how are you to know that Sally and me aren't some sort of super-cobblers, the kind that appears "guilty" on the seer's radar, but the true lovers appear as "innocent"? Wouldn't that be just like Di to fool around with your minds? Ponder on this, for I speak words of wisdom.

Gollum the Great · 11-06-2008, 01:44 PM

Ok, that was a bit far fetched.

satansaloser2005 · 11-06-2008, 03:05 PM

No! I cannot live without my sweet Gollum! Life is pointless without his sweet PMs and his fingers typing sweet nothings in my ear.

++Sally

(Sorry. I have a feeling that Di's gonna come out with narration soon, so this is as good as it gets. If I had time, I would have had a LOT more fun with this.)

Yeah I get it, it just looked too easy. In your paranoia, I'm surprised you didn't try pairing me and Gollum or Shasta together. Now if I had been a lover with one of them, that would've been interesting (and rather amusing).

Interesting, we protected ourselves and each other on the same Nights. That's how I was hoping for it to turn out in the end, but there was no way to know for sure.

Btw Gwath, you successfully protected three different (innocent) players on three different Nights. I don't know if a ranger has ever done so well. Props to you.

Gollum the Great · 11-06-2008, 07:27 PM

Come on Di!!! Give us an ending!

Oi! Chill out, boy. The girl's got a life, after all.

Take your time, sweetie. Yes, I want it, but it won't kill (heh, get it?

) me to wait a few more hours. Whenever you get a chance.

Diamond18 · 11-07-2008, 12:56 AM

The girl's got a job, is more like it. I didn't pick the 1 AM deadline for my own amusement after all.

I'll have something up in a bit.

In the end, the Lonely Hearts were so sure that Gollum and Sally were not only Lovers, but the famed Romeo and Juliet, that they were left only to discuss in which order the pair should be killed. Brinniel and Nogrod said Juliet, for certainty, Shasta and Gwath said Romeo, for canonicity, and it got to the point where Romeo fainted from the agony of waiting.

Juliet despaired and voted for herself, then took up a dagger and plunged it into her breast. Or chest, if you want to be that way about it. Romeo awoke from his fainting spell to find his love dead, and wailed in agony, while Shasta complained that this wasn’t all quite right. “What I wouldn’t give for a bottle of poison right about now,” he said.

“I have some,” offered Gwath, helpfully.

Shasta took the convenient bottle and offered it to the stricken Lover. “Here, Romeo, take this, it’ll make you feel better.”

Romeo took it, kissed Juliet, and died.

Their spirits rose from the bodies of Gollum and Sally, clutching at each other with insubstantial hands. But like Tristan and Isolde before, Venus took no pity on them, and they faded into nothing, to be forever apart.

“Once star crossed, always star crossed,” said Nogrod. “It just wasn’t meant to be.”
