Day 1 is over. Sorry for the slight delay- I had to finish the voting guide.
Please notify me of any errors.
Notice that kibbel has a vote for Wayfaerer_- he PMed me earlier this morning, before the deadline, and I told him to vote in here. However, he WILL receive a phantom vote for this, unless he can give me a good reason why he did not look in this thread and see that everyone else was voting in here.
Chapter 1
The group had just finished their vote when they felt and saw the presence in the room again. They looked up in fear.
"Who is your choice?" boomed the spirit.
"We choose Wayfaerer_," said kibbel shakily.
Wayfaerer started shaking. Before the decision was made, he had been sitting quietly. Now he started to scream. "No! No! Please! Can't it be someone else? Please, for the love of God!"
The presence boomed, "Very good."
A whirling cloud of darkness enveloped him. His screaming died out after several minutes, but those several minutes were an agony for everyone listening.
The presence hovered back up above the group's heads. "You humans amuse me. I propose a test- I will let you out of this room. I charge you to escape from this hotel- if you can. If you do manage this- a highly unlikely feat- I will let you go and return you all to the way things were before the lightning strike. I will also purge the memories of this from your minds. Sound good?"
The humans nodded collectively. JurseyRider whispered to ddrruler, "We might just have a way out of this mess." Afrobean, overhearing them, nodded assent.
A door appeared on one of the walls. The tourists looked at it for a while, not believing that they now had a chance to get out of this nightmare.
"Go," the presence said.
The tourists raced from the room and away from the presence as fast as they could. Their footsteps faded into the distance.
"Why did you do that?" a second disembodied voice asked from a corner of the room.
The presence emanated evil joy. "Prey is always so much more interesting when it is running."
It is now Night 1. I need the PMs from the seer, guardian, and wolves.
Oh- and another thing- NO POSTING AT ALL UNTIL I WRITE THE STORY FOR DAY 2. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL RECEIVE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES.
It is night. You shouldn't talk in here. Simple as that.
The frightened group of tourists ran down the hallway, fleeing for their lives from the presence in the other room.
"Thank heavens that we're out of that mess!" exclaimed Afrobean.
"I know," said DDRadicted. "I was really scared back there. I sure hope that whatever's ahead of us will be better."
Finally, the group reached a door. Nervously, deltro turned the old-fashioned knob, and the door opened with a loud creak. The tourists stepped into the new room.
It was the kitchen.
Even though this room was also lit by candlelight, there seemed to be electricity in this room. There was a row of ovens along one wall, as well as several sinks next to a huge pile of dishes on the other side of the room. The ovens seemed to be working, because a deep rumbling could be heard from inside each one of them.
"Better stay far away from those ovens," commented Tsuteto. "That's just a deathtrap waiting to happen."
Agreed, the group tried to stay as far away as possible from the ovens, choosing instead to walk along the wall with the sinks and dishes.
Tsuteto pointed ahead. "Hey! I see a door ahead! Maybe there's something in there." He ran ahead of everybody else to go look at the door, which was faintly visible.
There was a sudden rattling and clinking sound that lasted only a split second. "What was that?" asked ddrruler. "I'm not sure," replied Gamepro, "but it sounded like it came from over there." He pointed towards the dishes. Everyone looked at the huge pile, which towered at least 4 feet over the counter.
Tsuteto was running towards the door when he suddenly slipped and fell. The resounding thud shook the entire room, and the pile of dishes started to topple. "No!" Tsuteto screamed, as he was crushed under a pile of silverware, cutlery, and china.
JurseyRider screamed. "Oh my god!"
In the silence that followed, Chromer asked, "Why did he fall?"
In response, Lupin pointed out a bottle of dishwashing soap sitting near the sink. It was tipped over, and liquid was pouring out of it.
"But I noticed that earlier!" exclaimed M-A-C. "It was upright! It didn't just tip itself over... or did it?"
"I strongly suspect that there are still spirits among us," said Afrobean. "I'm betting that those spirits made the bottle tip over and trip him. We should do another vote to try and find those spirits!"
The vote was on.
All right, guys, you have 48 hours again, until 6:00 P.M. PST on January 5th (Wednesday). 6 votes to instalynch.
Wayfaerer and Tsuteto, you are each allowed one noninformative goodbye post.
Well, I guess I'll start things off. I'm going to vote for Kibbel
My reason for this is his PM to the host about who he wants to vote for. Now arn't wolves supposed to tell the host who they want to kill? I think that kibbel got confused and did this for the person he wanted to vote off to, thus proving he's a wolf.
It's funny we were talking about this in the chat the other day:
Gamepro17616 (10:16:19 PM): what i'd like to know is why kibbel hasn't posted yet
Afrobean16 (10:16:31 PM): he PM'd a vote
Afrobean16 (10:16:38 PM): I think he just has no idea how to play
Afrobean16 (10:16:41 PM): and he's a wolf
DeaTh2BlueBoi14 (10:16:52 PM): yes
DeaTh2BlueBoi14 (10:17:06 PM): i think kibbel is a wolf 100%
Gamepro17616 (10:17:10 PM): i know
Afrobean16 (10:17:21 PM): wolfs need to PM their pick so it'd make sense that someone who hasn't played before would PM a vote for a lynch
Gamepro17616 (10:17:44 PM): yea
That was a rather stupid move of kibbel. What was the purpose of sending a pm if you saw people voting in here? Maybe you should have read the rules a little more carefully. Voted for the same reason as M-A-C
For now I am voting for kibbel but I have some doubts because the gaurdian and the seer also have to pm the host and that just because i'm siding with him a little doesn't mean i'm a wolf I just think we should keep an open mind on who to vote out so we don't vote out a human, because every time we vote out a human we are have less time to find out who the wolves are.
Nevermind about my vote change. It was an instalynch as soon as DDRadicted voted. 5 votes for him (MAC, ddruler, myself, lupin, and DDRadicted) plus one for phantom. That makes six which is sufficient for instalynch.
kibbel was sitting quietly in a corner, not paying attention. "Hey, kibbel!" called Jursey. "I think I saw something in the oven right over there. Want to help me look?"
"Sure," kibbel shrugged. He walked over to the nearest oven and opened it. A poof of hot air escaped- enough to blow everyone's hair a tiny bit awry.
"Are you sure this is safe?" he asked skeptically.
"Sure!" said Gamepro.
"The thing that I saw was a little bit farther in," called Jursey from across the room. "Here, I'll show you."
The tourists all walked across the room to look into the oven. kibbel had his head and most of his body inside the oven, searching for the "thing" that Jursey had seen.
The tourists looked at each other, and everyone gave a silent nod at the dreadful thing they were about to do.
"It's the only humane way right now," whispered ddrruler softly.
"On the count of three," whispered ddradicted. "One, two, THREE!"
On three, the group as a whole shoved kibbel into the oven. He screamed as his skin started to burn.
"Quick, do something!" yelled M-A-C. "Listening to him is torture!"
deltro quickly found the oven setting and turned it to its highest setting, over 600 degrees. The cries of pain from inside stopped immediately.
Everyone shuddered. "Ewww," said Chromer. "What a disgusting thing to do."
"Why did you do that?" screamed Jursey. "I really did see something in the oven!"
Afrobean looked at her with a shocked expression. "You mean we have to open it up again to see what it is?"
Jursey nodded. "'Fraid so."
The group shuddered as Gamepro opened the oven, reached over a small pile of ashes, and found a piece of paper, which, alarmingly, had not even been seared by the overwhelming temperature.
"Read it," whispered Lupin, scared of what it might be.
"It's just a piece of paper with a symbol of some sort on it," replied Gamepro. He showed it to the group. The design was very intricate, but the overall effect seemed to be one of a circle. "Well, I think we should keep it. Who knows what it might be," he said.
Everyone nodded, and Gamepro tucked the paper into his pocket. "So now what?" asked M-A-C.
Afrobean shrugged. "I guess we'll have to keep going. Didn't Tsuteto say he saw a door somewhere over there?" He gestured to the far wall.
"I remember that," said ddrruler. "That's our only way out of here now."
And with that, the group stepped over the mess of plates (being careful not to slip), came to the door, and opened it.
It is now Night 2. I need the PMs from the wolves, seer, psychic, and guardian.
Sorry, kibbel. If this continues at the rate it's going, you'll be able to play in the next jTWG very soon. That goes for the rest of you who died, too. Wayfaerer (yours is still available) and kibbel are allowed one noninformative goodbye post.
Oh, and by the way, Snapps will probably not be online for a week, due to technical difficulties (his computer almost blew up).
