Re: The howling: A forum werewolf game.
At The Colony's bar, much debate was going back and forth. Once someone mentioned "werewolf", the new tourists freaked out.
"WHAT?!"
"Werewolves?!"
"Sweet!" (this was from Leopold. She got stares at her, and quickly changed her manner) "Oh, I mean, 'Werewolves? Oh, no. They are going to kill us.' "
"Let me get this straight?" Wickedswami said. "Are you guys saying that there are bloody werewolves around here? Jesus Christ!"
"No, no, good sir," I_Told_You told Wicked. "Well... maybe. There have been myths and Le Loup is supposedly a werewolf that kills and eats people. He;s just been-"
"You..." Dii Legend pointed a shaky finger at Wickedswami and his crew. "You people brought Le Loup with you!!! We're all gonna die!!!" She ran out of the bar, screaming prayers to God.
"Don't mind her," Bad Ash said. "She's just one of those people who don't say much, but they are there, ya know? Ehh, she hasn't said anything in a couple of days, actually. I'm surprised she was even here in the pub!"
"So..." Marahumm began. "This Lay Loop guy-"
"Le Loup," Leo properly pronounced for him.
He gave her a look. "Whatever, just... The Wolf is a myth and he's only killed until now? That makes no sense!"
"I'm so scared..." Wami weeped.
"Why did the clerk act all weird and call y'all 'natives'?" Leo asked. There were some chuckles at her "y'all". "Yeah, yeah, keep laughing... psh!"
"Who are you guys?" Wicked demanded. "I know there is a deeper thing going on here than what you guys are letting up."
The natives looked at them with somber faces. Wicked had been right. There had been something more sinister going on than what they knew.
"Le Loup was a being that existed many years ago," Asrrin began. "He had killed tourists then, but our relatives before us kept things quiet. Reason being, the guy running this shotty place wanted to keep the tourism up."
"It eventually leaked," Noodle said. "And The Colony was never the same. Things have died down over the years, but tourism isn't what it used to be. People around here don't like talking about what happened."
"That must be why people don't know much about this place," Wami whispered to the other three.
"When people DO come here," ITY was saying, "they don't leave. For some weird, bloody reason they still stay here."
ThunderCat tried communicating outloud, some people had no idea what he was saying. He wrote it down backwards.
" 'We are the natives because we were born here and are carrying out our relatives' wishes,' " Asrrin translated. " 'To kill Le Loup.' "
"Why now?" Leo asked.
"We don't know," Krazeyivan shrugged.
"Oh, Jesus Christ! WAKE UP!!" Ankeli exclaimed. "Have you not realized that Le Loup could be among US or be them?" He pointed to the two couples.
"Hey!" Marahumm said.
"For all you know, ThunderCat could be it! Or Bad Ash! Or Gorny! There's just so many to choose from..."
The natives started to argue amongst themselves, and now that Ankeli had started to point fingers, trust had diminished.
"Guys! Guys!" Moosehead exclaimed over the verbal bashing. "I have an idea. We all debate civilly to each other, vote who we all think is the best possibility for Le Loup, and lynch him. Only then will we know for sure."
Spudnik looked away from his potted plant and stared at him ghastly. "That's sick, mate! I like it. Let's do it."
"Yeah," Ankeli started dryly. "Let's pick each other off as we've known each other our whole lives!"
"Hey, man," Zhao said, "you were the one pointing fingers first."
"Yeah, besides it's what our relatives did!" Spudnik replied.
"Really? Well then, I think Moosehead is perfect to lynch!"
Moosehead looked up from his jester hat. "Me? Are you kidding?! What the hell did I do?"
"Provide us with uselessness," Gorny said.
Noodle seemed to digest this. "They both have a point. Nothing personal, Moosey, but you haven't really presented us with anything a few minutes ago when we were in a heated argument."
"Whatever! I presented stuff to you guys!"
" 'Yeah, stuff we already knew,' " Spudnik translated for ThunderCat.
"Why don't you think a day or so about wether or not I should be the one who gets killed" Moosehead said, but it was too late.
The natives began to gang up on him. Bad Ash had found a rope from somewhere within the bar and began tying a noose. Moosehead dashed out and ran towards the lake. Everyone followed.
"I CAN'T LASSO!" Bad Ash said.
"TRY!" Zhao said. "You're an American! Shouldn't you know how to do these things?"
"I'm not from Texas!"
"Hey!" Leopold cried.
"He's getting away!" ITY said.
Bad Ash started to circle the rope high into the air. He suddenly let it go and it slipped perfectly around Moosehead's neck. He yanked with ample force and Moosehead went down. He didn't move.
"Way to go, Bad Ash," Krazeyivan remarked sarcastically. "I wanted to see a LYNCH, not a hog-tie down!"
Bad Ash just shrugged it off. "He's dead, isn't he?" He looked over and saw a female body in the lake. "And there's Dii Legend. I guess she saved herself before Le Loup did."
"Smart girl," Wami weeped quietly. "I want to go home."
After some identification from the local Coroner, Moosehead didn't prove to be Le Loup. In fact, he was a human....
Moosehead was the Even jester, he had to be lynched on days 2/4/6/... to win. He died on day1 so he lost
DII legend has been modkilled, she was a simple normal townie.
