Inavi: Howling Seas [Concluded]

[civplayah]

Gah. Really, civplayah?!

Do not worry. I will have you as replacement player. You should be in fairly quickly.

[autolycus]

"I see that the others have followed your little tirade and opted to give you the scimitar", he said firmly, eyes narrowed as they scanned autolycus for top-to-toe, "but what proof have you provided that the blade belongs to you to begin with?"

The only proof I have provided or can provide is that I reported the theft yesterday, if you recall,, before any sign of it had been otherwise seen.

"What information did you gleam from the late mayor's blade, good sir?"

I second this curiosity.

[Seon]

"Early Queen Move?" a figure said scratching his head. "Bold."

"Yeah, I thought you would like it," the second figure said smiling.

"You guessed correctly," the first figure said chuckling. "But that doesn't mean I would allow you to win."

"Oh no. I'm afraid you won't have a choice this time. I will win."

"We shall see," the first figure said. "Here's my move..."

Midday 2 Update

A day and a half has passed since the first murder occured in this peaceful island. A day and a half since rain first started to fall on this island. A day and a half since the wind first started to gather. Some people have begun to notice the overbearing sense of unease that was draped across the island.

The discussions about whether or not to investigate the mayor's room was reaching a climax. Although most people seemed to abstain, most of the others who expressed their interest agreed to investigate the room. If the discussions continued in this trend, surely the village will investigate and probably waste another day.

[Diamondeye]

(@ ATPG: LOL)

(Glad I'm not the only one who caught that one!)

[Beefy187]

Thought I already did this...
Aye for investigation

[TheFlax]

The priest cranes his neck around to look at everyone present with his weary eyes before croaking a few words.

Apologies my friends for my belated presence, spiritual matters have kept me out of these procedings until now. (OOC: I was away) Now, despite my considerable years, I have never been in a situation like this before, but it seems to me that searching the good mayor's room will not yield much information in finding the werewolves that plague us. I think that young girl, Renata, has the right idea. So I will cast my vote on Autolycus on principle, seeing as nearly everyone seems keen on investigating.

Concerning the spheres and the scimitar, I have need of nearly no worldly possessions. As such, I will support DiY and landlubber.

[wideyedwanderer]

Aye for the investigation

Beefy for the scimitar

Death is Yonder for the 3 spheres

[Seon]

I skipped the list of accusations made by people because I was tired. Will edit that in later.

[Romanic]

"
He then turned to Romanic, with whom he had opted to hand the mayor's sword to the previous day.

"What information did you gleam from the late mayor's blade, good sir?"

Hah, the sword is a fine blade alright, but I had this stupid idea that getting the sword would make me Mayor. I guess that I'll have to make a run in the next election *sigh*

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

OOC: The sword is +1 STR.

Let's investigate again, maybe we'll find something this time.

About the items, let's give them to DIY and autolycus

[remake20]

I am very sorry seon, but I need to be replaced. I WAY underestimated the amount of time I needed to put in for zelda. I am very sorry.

[Seon]

Il giudizio vien dal mare e sta per essere emesso
Nessuno può liberasi dal peccato che scorre nulle vene
Tu sei senza pietà, ma quanto sarà pesante il mio castigo

Winston Hughes has replaced CDF and civplayah have replaced Captain C. Their role PMs will be out in a second.

Evening Update 2

The butler lightly stepped over the pool of dried blood inside the mayor's room. "Well, Watchman, did you find anything interesting?"

"Hey, did you ever think we would be finding anything here? The dude EXPLODED for crying out loud. What clue did you think we would be able to find?"

The butler sighed. "Nothing then? There's no clue that would pinpoint who the murderer is?"

"No, there isn't any," the watchman said grumbling. "Another waste of our...hey, what's this?" The Watchman picked up an object from the floor and examined it. The butler and the watchman looked at each other. Was there anything like this in the room before?
...........................................................

"It's still raining?" the scholar moaned as he listened to the howling of the wind outside. "This is so....unnatural..."

"IT'S MINE!" the Mayor's daughter shrieked, snatching the spheres away from the scholar's hands.

The scholar looked at the other villagers as if looking for help. The other villagers shrugged. "Come on, dear, I will give it back to you as soon as I figure out what it..."

"NO! Go away!" the mayor's daughter screamed as she ran out the door. The mayor's wife soon followed, begging the daughter to come back. "And thar she goes," muttered the retired captain. "Well, I will be taking my beloved scimitar back." Almost nobody stood to stop him, although the beggar girl never quite stopped looking at the sword. At its masterful craftsmanship and magnificent jewels...

The retired captain stood awkwardly. "Do you mind?"

The beggar girl never gave a reply, for at that moment a 6 feet tall gorilla chose to enter the inn.

"Arrrrrrrrgh," yelled out the grape farmer. "It's the werewolf, somebody kill it!"

"It's me, you headless chickens," responded the watchman. "I have discovered decisive evidence! Something to put an end to this entire fiasco!"

Everyone gasped. "Well," the blacksmith said. "What is it?"

"It's the Mayor's diary!" the watchman gumshoe said as he pulled out a bloodstained book from the bag. Everyone gasped once more.

"Uhh...pardon me for asking," the blacksmith asked. "But...ummm... what does it say?"

"Oh I couldn't read it. It's written in some other language than Lanun," the watchman responded. Somebody among the villagers facepalmed. "That's it, I had enough of this foolishness. I'm going home."

"Wait! It could be dangerous!"

"What, do you want me to take a bath here too? that. that idea like tour de . Bye."

the villager stepped outside into the dark unknown. Most of the villagers began to follow. They were all gonna die anyways. They might as well spend their last days in peace...

Mayor's Diary Discovered. This will be voted upon tomorrow.

Night ends in 24 hours.

[Winston Hughes]

(OOC: I'm definitely up for this, but I'm going to be preoccupied for much of the next 48 hours, so don't expect much - if any - activity from me in that time).

[Galynea]

The miller gets up, all excited.

Forse posso leggere il diario dil sindaco! Ho imparato un po di lingue straniere con Mario, il mio primo amore... Huh...I was caught in some teenage memories. I chanced into learning spare bits of foreign languages... If the mayor writes of love affairs in that journal, I certainly should get all the vocabulary! I'd like to take a look myself if people don't mind...

[Seon]

Be silent lest the wolves that roam the seas here you, for 'tis the night.

[Seon]

When you sneak out at night to gaze up at the stars, you can hear them laugh and tell each other stories. Cannot everyone?

Life takes its own course, and sometimes no reason nor argument nor urgent need can divert its speaking tide

The incidents are not the essence, and the blood is not the life, but the incidents of blood are symbol beneath every human thought.

Mathematic art may chart the course of a messenger, or an army, more precisely than a knotted string on a peg-nailed map. But simple string is an art which can be seen and felt. Thus does the general see and feel.

To win a battle is never a gain. It only means you may resume the burdens you bore before the war. You do not look forward to them

The dance of symbols is the movement of the people. Perhaps you have not studied them enough...but your own studies, the symbols of worlds within and above, press you so

Morning Update 3

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The Grape farmer remake lowered himself to sleep. He was tired...espescially from that last night's escapede from that...whatevet it was... soon he felt the embrace of the dreamworld taking hold of him.

scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch....

Nothing would disturb him anymore...what was the chance of whatever it was coming back to kill him tonight?

scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch...

Stupid rats...he would have to take care of them tomorrow...

SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCH....

Okay, that's it. The Grape farmer jolted awake. He would kill every single rats in this tow....

a figure was sitting in his bed, scratching something into the wall with a wicked looking knife.

"Hi," the figure said. "Do you mind?"

"No, not at all," the grape farmer moaned. He looked at the picture that the figure was scratching into the wall. Circle...letters written inside the circles... he knew he was doomed. He would be sacrificed to whatever god that this little figure believed in.

"Well, the gods who'se names will never be spoken...has spoken your name. Do you know what that means?"

"Wait wait wait!" the grape farmer shouted desperately. "Can't we talk about this?"

"Sure," the figure responded. "Do you have a bar of chocolate?"

"Umm...no?" the grape farmer responded. Last thing he saw was a knife heading straight for his eyes.

That was not the last thing he felt, however, as he kept on feeling hundreds of little pricks with the knife and the shrieking fiend until the moment his soul drifted away.

.

"That's...rather vicious..." the watchman said as he looked at the body of the grape farmer. His body has been drained of all its blood which was used to repaint the entire room pink. The herbalist rushed in and rushed out, mumbling something about another appointment at the mayor's house.

The scholar walked into the room. "You called me, watchman?" he asked.

"Yes," the watchman answered. "What do you make of that esoteric diagram thingamabob?" He pointed at the circle etched into the walls. Parts of it was painted red using the grape farmer's blood.


The scholar squinted. "I...do believe that's actually a roulette." The watchman took another look at the diagram. The scholar was right, it was actually a roulette.

"What's it doing here?" the watchman demanded. 'Beats me," the scholar answered. "This is one crazy town..."

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"Thank you," the mayor's wife Vince said. "You are too kind. I heard that you were my husband's friend?"

"That I was," the figure chuckled. It was an empty chuckle, devoid of almost any feelings.

The mayor's wife figured out that something was wrong at this point. "Well, thank you for visiting," she said coldly. "But I am afraid you will have to leave now..."

"I understand," the figure laughed. "But still, I must ask you one thing. Where is it?"

"Where is what?" the Mayor's wife demanded. The figure roared out in frustration and outstretched his palm towards the Mayor's wife. Intense pain...

............................................................................

The butler Spl1tpers0nality was taking a stroll outside when he heard IT approaching. It was not e ven bothering to hide its footsteps...and there was nothing you could do to stop it... for a werewolf was a weapon of the gods, forged from the depth of Chaos's pit itself to bring about widespread panic and destruction to the world.

The butler swore. He would not be killed so easily. He began to run. It was useless, the werewolf cannot be outrunned. The werewolf easily cut his escape route and growled viciously at the man.

"Come on, doggy," the butler shouted. "Come get me!"

When a group of villagers came by the mayor's house, they saw the mayor's daughter skipping around, humming a little tune to herself alone. Nobody else, not the butler nor the Mayor's wife answered any calls.

The butler was the first to be found. His body, like all the victims of the werewolf before him, was ravaged nearly beyond recognition. The body...or the remaining trace left of the mayor's wife, was discovered next. She had died much the same way as her husband had been. The living room of the mayor's house was coated with the bits and pieces of the Mayor's wife.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Mayor's wife. Vince, and the Butler, Spl1t, was INNOCENT!

Solemnly, the group searched both of their rooms for clues...for anything that might shed light on the mystery that was surrounding the island. Who were the killers? What was their purpose?

They found a bag containing something in the butler's room. It contained...the villagers immediately put the thing back into the bag the moment they took a look. What the hell was that thing? It was a Strange Idol of some sort. Why did the butler have it?

People gathered into the inn once more. No more games. From now on someone will die each day until all the assailants were taken care of.

From yesterday's investigation, the Mayor's diary still stood on top of the inn's counter. It would be put to vote alongside the Strange idol today.

Night falls in 47 hours. ACCUSATIONS ARE IN BOLD, SUPPORTS ARE IN GREEN, MAYOR's DIARY IN SANDY BROWN, and the STRANGE IDOL IN BLUE.

[johnhughthom]

The butler Spl1tpers0nality was taking a stroll outside when he heard IT approaching.

Not:

[Link]

Frozen in Ice should get the diary. A scholar should be able to read it somehow. Theflax can safeguard the idol.

[remake20]

Well now I don't have to be replaced. :)

[Diamondeye]

The child runs up to the mayor's daughter before he stops and hesitates for a moment.
"Can I come play with you? I want to try the new toys you got yesterday! Please?"

(Oh, and CDf, since we have to vote)

[Choxorn]

Didn't CDF and Captain C get replaced?

[Seon]

Ooh umm... Right. Will fix that later.

[civplayah]

Didn't Captain C get replaced?

Yep! I'm Captain C's replacement.

[Diamondeye]

Oh, okay. CDf Jerry then.

[Galynea]

Seeing the mayor's daughter all alone, the miller ran to her.

Poor thing! Poor...poor...come with me! I'll cook you a loaf of sweetbread and give you some herbal tea. I...I wish I could do more for you.

Oh...And I can try to read that diary. The idol, I wouldn't give to that poor priest of ours! It could be dangerous! Better let it on the ground.

And I still maintain...we HAVE to get rid of the strangers. That werewolf plague came out of them! I say Winston should be sent on a raft...unless he can prove he's innocent, or that another stranger should be sent instead!

[a completely inoffensive name]

I'm the orphan.

[Diana Abnoba]

the diary should go to the mayor's daughter DIY
as for the idol I think the priest The Flax should get that, I agree it could be dangerous, best to give it to a holy person, to safeguard it.

[Diana Abnoba]

Vote: Tiberius of the Drake- Merchant for now, just to get things going. Only a guess, from the murders so far.

[Diana Abnoba]

BTW we now have 3 murders, one seems to be different and separated in the write up. Maybe a SK, Vig, or recruited mafia? It may be a one time ability, we will see.

[wideyedwanderer]

Welcome to the game civplayah!

Vote: civplayah.

The idol to johnhughthom,

The diary to Choxorn, the town idiot.

[Choxorn]

I'm the orphan.

Yeah, we knew that already. Evn I knew that,for crying out loud.

Welcome to the game civplayah!

Vote: civplayah.

The idol to johnhughthom,

The diary to Choxorn, the town idiot.

Psst... I think the Diary is in Orange the idol in Blue...

I'm fine with taking the diary, hopefully it won't have any of those silly long words that I dont' know like "antidisestablishmentarianism" or "sober"

The Idol can go to TheFlax.

Also, where's the Merchant? I havent' seen him anywher. Speak up! Vote: Tiberius of the Drake
