Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ever couldn't help but grin at Zac as he spluttered, as actual annoyance slid into his tone. There was a comment on the tip of his tongue but --

Well. The game marched on.

"Seems like we have a pretty wide spread, at the moment. Two for Gabriel, one for Laine, one for Makayla, one for Vanya...maybe you should try to consolidate with each other, somehow? And get the rest of those votes in!

____

Get those votes in guys!

"We're doing pretty badly," Sawyer acknowledged. "But Zac is trying to make us distrust quiet people, and he's had a witty comment for everyone who's gone down. Strategy to save his own a**. Obviously. Turn us against the quiet ones while being as talkative as possible. So I'm voting Zac."

Boaz was more than content to take a step back and lie low this time after what happened in the previous round, sipping slowly from his glass as he quietly tallied the number of votes for each person and nodded to himself when it matched up with Ever's figures. It might be just a game but that fact alone wasn't enough to stop him from feeling bad that Avery was taken out by the wolves in the last round because she had listened and decided to speak up for him.

He mulled over the names that had been brought up thus far, choking for a few seconds on his drink at the mention of the short angry blue thing that had been coined by Laine before he eventually lifted a finger to point in Gabriel's direction without a word.

There was finally a lull and Ever made a sound, leaning back.

"Sounds like a decision was made, then, and for once I have good news..."

He moved forward to flip over Gabriel's card, revealing the wolf image on the other side.

"You have saved yourself from one wolf, but there's still at least one to go. Gabriel, now's your chance to act out your death scene. Everyone else -- heads down, because night approaches, and surely the other wolf -- or wolves -- or whichever, will be ready to enact his -- her -- their revenge..."

OOC:

Sorry Song, but Gabriel 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. Under no circumstances should you say anything in your death scene. It's a dramatic, fun thing for you to do, not a way to give extra information!



EVERYONE ELSE -- Night approaches. Werewolves and the Seer will receive PMs shortly. The next day round will begin in about 24 hours. If you'd like, you can RP putting your heads down now.

Vanya's cheeks reddened at the realization that Gabriel was a wolf. And to think, she hadn't voted for him--but, well--she settled and put her head down on her arms. There was nothing she could do now, but if she was still 'alive' when the sun came up, maybe she could fix things.

Apparently, tonight, the wolf decision was swift -- because it didn't feel like long before Ever cleared his throat, resettling into his chair with a soft whuft. He wanted a beer. His eyes went to the beers. He resisted.

"Good morning everyone, heads up!" But maybe he was still looking toward the alcohol when their attention settled on him, and he had to drag his focus back to the crew around him with the usual grin.

"As usual, the wolves have attacked in the night...and one of your number has been taken down." He leaned forward, absently, to take Boaz's card in hand, flipping it over to reveal that he was, in fact, a villager.

Another villager down, and they'd only gotten one wolf.

But at least they'd gotten one.

"Boaz, I'm sorry, but your death has come to pass. As with the others, you can act out your death -- or, like many, choose not to, I guess." Disappointed in them? Maybe he was. Just a little. Ever always liked acting out his death.

"As for the rest of you, things are getting tight now. Only seven people left, and at least one a wolf...at least your chances of killing the enemy are getting higher?" He shrugged. "Who are we lynching today?"

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 gwing, but Boaz 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

If the decision to kill Avery had come as a surprise, the decision to kill Boaz was a bigger one--at least, as far as Vanya could see. The two moves almost didn't mesh right... To be honest, she'd been expecting to be the one going to the quiet corner. Maybe she'd been wrong, and Makayla wasn't a witch? Wish I was better at these games, she thought, and she looked around the room, trying to suss out where Ever might have gone in the 'night'.

Maybe she ought to get up the nerve to vote for Zac. She looked at him, and decided, uh, no. At least she hadn't been drinking. "This is hard," she sighed. "It made more sense before Boaz was killed."

Sitting up from her prone position it seemed Lena had two strategies:

1) Win the game and get the vodka back.
2) Get eliminated from the game and get the vodka back.

They were priorities, in that order. It was interesting that the wolves had changed from taking out vocal villagers to Boaz, who'd been relatively quiet since nearly getting his head in the noose. She could finally go on the offensive with relative safety.

Lena considered Suri's point for a moment, adding in Sawyer's statement, and shook her head. "Zac was able to see the only wolf we've had so far. He was the first to nominate Gabriel. Laine though...she was gonna stick with our only wolf. An alliance? Smells pretty wolfy to me. I nominate her."

Then, dramatically, she dropped back down on top of Zinkenite. "Until I get a decent drink, you're a pillow bub."
