Welcome to Gaia! ::

]"It's that time again everyone -- heads up!"

There was a hopeless flash of amusement in his eyes as he rose to stand up out of his chair, shaking himself up and, very slowly, pacing out the inside of the circle. Looking at each of them, as if they might be next, and only finally pausing --

In front of Richard.

"Zed's a wise man. It seems he accurately predicted your death, torn apart by wild beasts in the night." He flashed a grin down at Richard, rolled his shoulders in a shrug, and reached out to flip over his card. It, too, read villager.

"Seems the village isn't doing so hot. I'll give you an opportunity to act out your death, too, if you want, but do it without saying a word. Then you can go sit with Krishna in the quiet corner."

He turned, then, to raise his eyebrows at the rest. "You know what to do now. Who's getting lynched next?"

OOC NOTE:

It's lynching time!

For the next 48 hours, you should discuss in character who you think might be a wolf, who should be lynched, etc. If you want to say you think you felt someone move in the night -- go for it. If you want to go based on your knowledge of people in character -- go for that. If you want to lynch your BFF because it's hilarious -- also solid grounding.

I only have one request: Keep your posts brief. If possible, stick to 3-4 sentences max. Make it easy for people to read and keep the play going! You can post a bunch of times or you can post once, and that's up to you.

By 48 hours from this post, however, you should post in red bold font who your character is voting to be lynched. I'll post a reminder at the halfway mark!

Sorry Gingi, but Richard is now dead. I'm giving you the opportunity to RP out a death scene IC if you'd like, so as to pad out your word count and make sure you have the required 450, if you don't already. However under no circumstances should you say anything in your death scene. It's a dramatic, fun, stupid thing for you to do, not a way to give extra information!

As always, if anyone's confused, just shoot me a PM/IM. I'm around a lot. XP

Suri lifted her head from the brief reprieve, looking around at the faces of her survivors. It shouldn't have been a surprise to her that the one closest to the first one lynched would be killed in the night, but it certainly raised some questions as to who the killers were. She could go for the obvious and suspect Porsha, who sought to gain the most, or assume that someone clever was setting things up to appear that way. Either way, she saw a weak link in the village, and with a flippant shrug she pointed a finger at Boaz.

"Honestly, if he wants to kill himself, I think we should oblige him and save ourselves the trouble."

Zac for his part laced his fingers together, eyes drifting around the room with a small frown creasing the space between his brows. “Hm.” He intoned, a short thoughtful sound.

His eyes lingered on some of the ladies assembled, the frown deepening and then lifting into a more neutral and thoughtful look.

“I wonder if we the villagers won’t just do badly because so many of us are more ‘Wolves’ at heart.” He rolled his shoulder in a shrug.

“I admit I have other thoughts on where I –should- vote, but, Sorry Boaz[/red], either you’re a villager who sympathizes too much with the wolves, or you’re a suicidal wolf I suppose.”

"Well if everybody's gonna jump on Boaz," said Sawyer, wriggling to adjust Po's head on his shoulder and patting her hair as absently as if he were her distracted granny, "I'm just gonna vote on Po again."

Busy trying to get Avery back for that pinch which was, no doubt, going to leave a bruise and had put alcohol up her nose, it took a minute to realize someone unfamiliar was spitting out her name. Turning, letting her frazzled brain go backwards in time to realize why her name was being spit out for lynching, she blinked twice.

"Wait so, I think a guy is a werewolf because he was being a slobbery, offensive animal so I try to lynch him. But because, somehow, I failed in getting him lynched I murder him with my werewolf buddies or something? But I would have had to know he wasn't a werewolf so whyyy save him in the first round and try to lynch him at the same time? Unless...I was trying to be sneaky? That's...well I guess that's clever. Somehow." Nudging both Zachary and Avery, she tried to get their opinion.

"Is that clever? I am unsure." A shrug. "Well honestly I was trying to get him to leave you alone but since you are on to my Dastardly Plan of Questionable Cleverness I'll have to eliminate you. Po, honey, you gotta go." A broad smile.

"That was clever!"

While Avery wasn't particularly saddened to see Krishna go, her eyes widened momentarily at the reveal of his card, surprised to see that he was, in fact, simply rude, instead of a werewolf.

Dutifully closing her eyes, she waited out the night. Occasionally, there was a muffled giggle and a shuffle, but nothing particularly incriminating. Soon, Richard's card was flipped as well. Now her brows rose. Villager. He'd struck her as wolfish and particularly icky [and also quite a bit too drunk], but that too had been incorrect.

With both of the men gone, the circle was a little loose, and Avery used the opportunity to move and close the gap, smoothing her skirt as she sat on the vacated pillow between Vanya and Lena. Hazel eyes flicked over the survivor's faces as they began to sling around accusations, until Porsha turned on Lena.

A laugh bubbled up in the brunette's throat, spilling out as Lena began to talk, and she quickly stifled it with a hand, covering her bright grin. Apparently, Avery wasn't offended, but of course, Lena was the one with her head on the chopping block.

"Oh, no. Being a wolf seems like a lot of fun, but the only thing I'm guilty of is being wrong about Richard's card."

[ooc: sorry about length! trying to catch up to present.]

Violet brows rose in a suggestive wiggle and a snap of her teeth as Lena called her out and added her vote with Sawyer's. "Quite the valiant little wolfy. I'm touched." The words were teasing, as was her tone. All in good fun.
