WW LXXV: It's Always Tea Time Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Alirin continued to walk down the path until she could hear some talking up ahead. As she got closer she could see a man with red hearts all over him who looked like a king and a woman all in white who looked like a queen. Alirin listened closely.

“Do you have any idea who may have stolen my tarts?” the King of Hearts was asking.

“No, no, I haven’t the slightest idea.” the White Queen replied, looking rather nervous about something. “Have you asked your wife?”

“Yes, and now she is on a rampage, beheading anyone who even says the word ‘tarts’.” He said, rather mournfully. “I’m all for an execution, and especially for whoever stole them, but she is exaggerating just slightly.”

“Indeed. Indeed.” the White Queen said, fiddling with something behind her back.

“I heard the Red Queen died. Is that why you look upset?” the King of Hearts asked.

“Well, no, because I’m rather pleased she is dead. We were enemies after all.” the White Queen responded, adjusting her shawl that kept coming loose from the wind.

“If you’re nervous about my missing tarts I assure you it will be taken care of. I’m holding a trial later today to find the culprit, so you shouldn’t be upset by it.” the King of Hearts said, trying to console her.

“That isn’t it either.” the White Queen said as she pulled a sword out from behind her back. “I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do this, but now I must, because I think you might be evil.”

With that she whipped out a sword, and off was the King of Hearts’ head. Alirin gasped in horror and was about to leave when she could hear the White Queen crying. Feeling bad, and rather curious, she walked up to her slowly and helped her adjust her shawl.

“If you feel so bad about killing him, then why did you do it in the first place?” Alirin asked, looking quite fearfully at the sword the Queen had dropped on the ground.

“It’s my job, as a Hunter. I thought he was evil, but I was wrong.” she said, looking extremely sad, so Alirin didn’t bother to ask her what she meant by ‘hunter’.

“I wish I could manage to be glad.” the Queen said sadly, “Only I never remember the rule. You must be very happy, living in the wood and being very glad whenever you like.”

“Though it is very lonely here, and not a very nice place!” Alirin objected, as tears ran down her face.

“Oh, don’t go on like that!” the Queen consoled, “Consider what a great girl you are! Consider all you’ve gone through today! Consider what o’clock it is! Consider anything, just don’t cry!”

“Can you keep from crying by considering things?” Alirin asked, wiping away the two tears.

“That’s the way it’s done, no one can do two things at once.” she explained. “let’s start by considering your age, how old are you?”

“7 and a half.” Alirin answered.

“I am one hundred and one, 3 months and a day!” the White Queen said.

“I can’t believe that!”

“Why not?” the Queen asked.

“It is impossible!”

“Well, when I was your age I could believe six impossible things before bre-eakfast! Bre-e-eakfast, Bre-e-eh” the Queen answered. Alirin looked closely at her, trying to understand the odd noises, but the White Queen had suddenly turned into a little sheep!

Alirin decided to take the little sheep with her for company, but suddenly a large animal (that she would later learn is called a Bandersnatch) came running out of the wood and gobbled up the little queen sheep and ran away.

She was certainly well prepared to go home now.

Bad - We lost Nienna, who most considered innocent.

Worse - We also lost our Hunter.

Worst - We also lost an innocent Inzil.

I didn't see any gifted vibes from Nienna, so I'm concluding that she was killed because so many thought her innocent (in fact, I can't remember anyone suspecting her for real).

It was pretty clear her prime suspect was Inzil, but I wonder if looking at who else she suspected will tell us anything.

Which leaves:
Lommy - I suspect her because she suspects me... this seems like something that always happens when we play together
Glirdy - no read as of yet
Zil - no read
Shasta - no real read but no good feelings either
Legate - jumped on the Lottie bandwaggon
Brinn - hmmm she seems like she is forcing normalcy... but I can't really tell

Possible suspects: Lommy, me, Legate, Brinn

Possible suspect: Morsul.

Zil - is getting a rather lot of suspicion lately but I'm not quite sure why... he just seems a bit defensive for my taste at the moment.
Shasta - something about him isn't sitting quite right with me
Morsul – I didn’t like his opportunistic vote for Sally yesterDay
Legate – what is a little concerning about Legate right now is that Sally voted for him Day One… this is nothing against Legate but it makes me question my general tendency to trust him
WinWin - need to hear more from him toDay

Possible suspects: me, Morsul, Legate, Winty

----------

Appear once: Lommy, Brinn, Winty

Appear twice: myself, Morsul, Legate

I'm not sure how much this tells us, since practically everyone considered Nienna innocent, but it might have worried the last wolf. I think I'm going to look at Morsul next (since I already suspect him), but it may take a bit.

As Nienna didn't go strongly after any currently living player, I doubt she was killed just to eliminate a threat. But Morsul needs looking at anyway.

Nerwen · 04-15-2010, 09:15 PM

I might have a look at Brinniel. I can't say I seriously suspect her all– but there is that thing I mentioned yesterDay, about her quoting me out of context and apparently using that to misrepresent my actions on Day 3. Now people can do that in good faith if they're in a hurry– but, when you couple that with the fact that Brinn herself really was fairly reluctant to lynch Glirdy– at least that's the way I remember it– it does make me wonder.

Likely nothing will come of this, but I may as well get it out of the way.

Loslote · 04-15-2010, 09:38 PM

Trust
Lottie

Trust mostly
Shasta
Nerwen
Skip
Legate
Agan

Trust more than not/Unsure
Skip
WW
Brinn
Mira
Lommy

Suspect
Morsul

I'll probably only vote someone from the last two categories, and probably Morsul.

I'll look more closely later at the Lommy/Nog thing I noticed yesterDay, but now that I think about it, I don't think it'll amount to much.

Morsul the Dark · 04-15-2010, 09:42 PM

One wolf left AWESOME job guys!

here reading am "shocked" by the already present suspicion on me

Nerwen · 04-15-2010, 09:42 PM

Brinn, Day One

#20
Fea's vote "very Fea-ish", probably innocent but needs explanation.

#25
Asks if wintywinty's vote is valid; if so, doesn't like "silly random throwaway votes".

#123
Doesn't like Lottie-wagon, but cautions against creating a second bandwagon. Doesn't want to drop retractables.

#148.
Doesn't like suspicion of Legate. Votes Fea for her random vote.

Comments: So far Brinniel looks good. While her vote might seem like a contradiction of her earlier position on Fea, in the meantime Fea had had a chance to explain herself and had just posted silly banter.

EDIT:X'd with Lottie; fixed formatting.

Hey, Lottie, you've listed Skip in two different categories.
