Werewolf XCVII: Werewolves in the Westfold Game Thread

[Coppermirror]

Mini summary of posts thus far:

Kitanna: Sad about Menel's death.
Coppermirror: Sad about Menel's death, says we only have 2 DAYS to catch a wolf in and must be alert, wants to know where satansaloser2005 and Shastanis Althreduin were last night. Also why she can't look at Nerwen's horses more closely.
Nessa Telrunya: Shocked to find Menel's dead body. It was a hard sight even for a healer.
Kitanna: Is sure that none of the villagers will be lazing around. Has to leave to go to work.
Inziladun: Asks Coppermirror if she gave a pre-emptive defence.
Coppermirror: Says no. Wishes the villagers luck, and leaves to sleep.
Inziladun: Says that Coppermirror seems to be distancing herself from the wolves. Says it's a hindrance that the game has only one Gifted, but that on the upside there's a higher chance of suspicious behaviour actually belonging to wolves rather than Gifted.
Nessa Telrunya: Agrees about the chances, and says that another upside is that everyone will be on their toes and won't get complacent/fail to give their thoughts/bandwagon.
Inziladun: Smaller villages make it harder for submarines to stay low. Asks for volunteers to be the sub-hunter.
Shastanis Althreduin: Is willing to be the sub-hunter and has done it before. Dances a jig. Says that satansaloser2005 will take all the best (music/dance?) pieces if he doesn't hurry.
satansaloser2005: Is standing right there and had no idea the game had started until now.
Inziladun: Shastanis Althreduin needs to keep above water in order to keep the job. Something about Kitanna seems a bit off, but "it's really a thin thing." Will have to vote in about 3 hours and more people showing up would be helpful.
Galadriel55: Shocked about Menel's death. Will be back in a few hours.
satansaloser2005: Jokingly accuses Nessa. Has no idea and hopes we'll lynch a wolf through dumb luck.
Nerwen: Is indeed a horse trader of doubtful integrity...

They weren't many posts to summarise, alas, but I wanted to do it anyway, because in a village this size we've got to try to avoid writing off DAY 1 having meaningful content. I can't say that anyone looks very suspicious here, and that's a problem. Maybe things will pick up once voting starts.

What's a sub-hunter? Someone who hunts submarines (quiet players), maybe? Interesting that there's a custom of appointing someone to do that, if so.

Yep. I wanted to say "good luck" to everyone at first, but, well, with three wolves amongst the ten I don't want to wish them luck too. I don't want newbie inexperience/enthusiasm to make me look suspicious, but on the other hand, with only two days for us to catch a werewolf in, I don't think I can afford not to pursue a louder strategy. And for the record I'm a she.

Oh dear...Do we need to call for the village healer? I don't think I can fix up bites on people with glue the way I can fix up toys.
