Tobias fidgeted with his costume, dragging his claws against his outfit. A farmer boy. That's what he was, and he was regretting it as the thick fabric rubbed against his fur. Ick. While others were confident when they moved on-stage, he was nervous, hunkered into himself as he walked, his tail tucked between his legs. He had thought this would be a good experiment of 'getting out there', but now that he considered it? Oh boy... now it was scary!
Still, maybe he could try and have fun? Instead of panicking like a nit-wit.

Falan had no idea how they'd been roped into this, but here they were and they were nothing if not dedicated to the cause. It was all just pretend, and pretend was manageable.
Hoping their acting wouldn't be atrocious, they dug through the mishmash of left over clothing until they found a hat and what looked like a farming tool. Okay, farmer. They could go for that and took up a position near Tobias, who looked as terrified as they felt. Solidarity and all of that.

Turn 1, Night 1 / Turn 2, Day
Goals: - Wolves and unique roles have used their skills. - Villagers will discover who was killed during the night and will respond to the death. - Villagers will vote in skype who to hang. - RP here, your characters response to Lorelei's death.
The Stage
Behind scenes, someone tugged at a rope and the cardboard cut out of an orange and spikey sun floated jarringly off-stage, nearly hitting the roof of a paper house in it's passing. A black curtain was dropped behind the props, peppered with little stars, probably taped to the fabric. Another rope pull and a full, white moon dangling on a string squeaked out to hang in front of the curtain.
"Day became night, and somewhere in the village a candle burned brightly, before being snuffed out. A sad strum of strings, before an unholy screech. A song of death, sadly. Lorelei perished beneath tooth and claw, a victim to the tune of the wild. At dawn, the Villagers were greeted to the sight of blood and broken lute strings, with bloody pawprints leading out of Lorelei's house before disappearing altogether in the woods."

Here came the part that she hated about this play... death. Odessa clearly blanched, even if it was just a play, she couldn't help it. The whole thought of death reminded her too much of her mother's, and caused her to hate the whole thing. Still, it was just a fake death... thankfully. She took a deep breath, not sure what to do as she turned away from the sight, clearly looking sick.

Alluim's face was stony at the site of blood and paw prints, death has come to the village and no one was safe. This had only begun. He looked around wondering who was next to suffer this fate. Allium took some white lilies from his flower stand and put them in front of Lorelei's door, she was far to young to have suffered this fate. Allium got into his character as he went about his role in the play.
Lorelei slid offstage and got a thin white sheet, aka 'Ghost Costume', and slid it on. She picked up the broken lute, glad that one or two strings were still usable... and slides back onstage, to stand next to her 'body', moaning sadly, and plucking mournfully at the strings.

Dar'Kota finding out that the musician had died, shook his head slowly.
"No music in a town is a sad day indeed. The foul werewolves have taken out a primary source of hope and merriment with this strike. We must catch these terrible creatures and hang them for their crimes."
He looked around the group, there was at least one werewolf in this group but who would it be. It seemed the freshlings wouldn't likely be the werewolf but you never know. What better werewolf than one you already don't expect. But maybe that would be a bridge to cross later, maybe one of the farmers outside the village would have access and opportunity to kill without being caught.

T'kani stands still as the day changes to night, and back to day again. A farmer's job was to stand there all the time in that pose, soooo...that's what she was gonna do!
Once the victim's name was announced, she pantomimed being distraught, taking her well-worn straw hat and holding it over her chest, head bowed slightly.

Aaand corpse, but obviously not really. Thank goodness for that much at least. The poor person next to him looked like they were gonna shake themselves right out of their clothes or collapse under their weight. While Falan had to admit this was all pretty nerve-wracking, they didn't think it was that bad!
They decided to do something about it, and left their position to go back to the pile of stuff and dig through it, finding a well worn fluffy black sheep plushie. It had probably been donated when the owner decided the battered thing needed a new home, but in this case Falan felt it would have a decidedly un-prop role and brushed it off before stepping back over and holding it out to Tobias. "Would you like it?" They asked with a slight smile to try and show they understood.

Sina came out of her home, clutching the very real piece of bread from previously, though it had a slice off of it at this point. She clutched it tighter to her chest as she looked away from the bloody scene. "What could have done something so horrible?" the question to no one in particular, but there was a sadness that invaded her voice. She heard mention of werewolves, but were they truly in their midst?

Kalec readies himself to play his part now. He mentally goes over his lines and then begins.
Kalec shudders visibly at the sight of the killing. Not again. "What could have done this does anyone know, I know that those look like wolfprints but wolves don't come into homes and kill people."

Turn 2, Day - The Hanging
Goals: - The person that stands accused will post, pleading their case. - I will wait 15 minutes, if at least 4 people ask them to be freed, they will be cut loose and no one will die today.
Introduction
A stool was brought out to the center of the stage, a rather flimsy hangman's noose and stand set up behind it. It was so thin that it had to be handled delicately or else it would probably bend or break, no way it could actually bear the weight of a person. Though the drop off the stool was probably only a few inches at most anyway.
"Much disturbed, the villagers called for blood. Not knowing what to do, they puit Allium up to the noose, demanding answers. Maybe he was a wolf, killing people to drive up sales of his flowers, since people would buy them to be placed on graves. Or maybe an innocent man would hang."

Allium was nervous he had never been in a play like this before, pretending to get hanged when he was innocent was scary even though it wasn't real. "I didn't kill that girl, I'm not the wolf. If I was the wolf and killed her to drive up flower sales why would I have shown remorse giving her flowers for free??" Alluim wasn't sure what else to say.. Alluim took a deep breath and said "I saw a broken lute in my crystal ball I am not the wolf, I am sad I could not save the girl.." Allium said worried this would get him killed anyway..
T'kani looked aghast at the poor flower boy up on the hangman's noose, what madness had she started? Pacing over to the center of the stage, she stood in front of the stool where Allium stood and faced the audience, waving her hands in an emphatic 'No!' gesture.
Once she was mostly certain her response had been delivered, she went back to her cardboard house and resumed her stoic farmer pose.
