Tanuchan

Tanny gazes over the people at the inn. There's shock in her eyes, as in all others' after seeing a werewolf die. Oh, well... guess everybody can make good use of a drink. Here it goes... only for this once, Sabre, I'll give you a double. You helped us getting the wolf. *smiles briefly at him* *to herself* I have to keep believing tomorrow will be a better day. The other wolf will make a mistake. We are together, and we will survive!

As the people enter the tavern and sit in groups of twos and threes, Tanny quickly goes to the kitchen. Then comes back with a tray laden with food and drink and starts serving. "Here. All this business is getting into the nerves of everybody. Food and drink... *glances at Sabre* well, not excessive drink... can surely help us settle down while we talk. In a civilized manner."

*frowning at Deg* Men! *looks at the faces around her and sigh* So it's all starting again... well Nave don't look at me like that. If you want to know, I stayed a bit with m'lady Celes here calming her then went to my room. Barred the door and the window, picked my late papa's hunting knife, put it by the bedside, and tried to have a good night's rest. Not that I suceeded, with nightmares and all. Want my opinion? There was a snowfall, and there are places between the village and the farms outside where it's still deep enough to keep footprints if one threads on it. If the wolf was out of the city, it would possibly be thus tracked when it came inside. One of us avoided this small problem by just staying in the city... pressed Eyremon towards suicide... was quite resistant to admitting we had big problems until there could be no more doubts whatsoever. I still think it suspicious. OOC: Keeping my vote for Mira.

Tanny looks up from where she had been sitting talking in hushed tones to Lady Celes, both ot them showing reddish eyes. Sabre can't even be coherent most of times... how can you, Vahk? Trying to kill him because of his love for full bottles... *sighs at Vahktan's glare* Oh, well, have to agree he is a liability but if we have to do this, can't we at least vote for someone who can be guilty of more than being drunk all the time ? Nave has some reason when he asks about our whereabouts last night. *turns to Nave, nodding at the spears* You have always been good at making those, Nave. Maybe we should also be prepared as you are. After what happened to Gwaihir, I guess no one doubts the existence of the werewolves... right? *glances sharply towards Mira and Damon*

Tanny hugs Celes reassuringly, concerned for a person who has been her friend since her first day of work. "There, there... I know, it's terrible, but people will come back to their senses, sooner or later. It was just the shock... with poor Eyremon's death, they'll see that we have to stick together and not go on dropping those terrible accusations against each other. We are sensible here." *looking around she sees Sabre still trying to apologize to Gwaihir over the broken bottle* "Well, at least most of us are. Tsk. I'll ask the cook to prepare some tea for you, Celes, it will help you. Sit here and try to calm yourself. We'll sort this out." Breathing deeply, trying to hide her fear for Celes' sake, Tanny leaves.

Tanny observes Damon leaving, having served him his drinks and listened to him. "This is our Damon... logical as always." She shakes her head, saying to no one in special while she serves the last customers... "The only thing he hasn't noticed in all his rambling is that if we move, we take the wolf with us... he's among us, not among the houses of the village, if you get my meaning." "C'mon people, it's almost time to go. Better stay home and close and bar your doors just to be sure. Tomorrow we'll have a better day. Sabre, it's enough drinking for today! Nave, don't you dare go on making him drink more!"

And I thought you were just kidding...

Tanny shakes her head sadly, slowly going back into the inn. "Eyremon, Eyremon... what foolishness. What the need to go to such extreme if innocent? Non-sense! *sighs deeply* On the other hand, maybe he did have some reason to gave up life. Who can say? No one just hangs himself because the breeze came from the wrong direction, as my grandma used to say." Taps the thick wooden door affectionately. "Yes, we do have good doors in here. Hope it will be a bright, clear moning with good news, after all. Nothing like a good night's rest to ease one's heart."

Ok, ok, Nave... here it goes but please, don't follow the example of Sabre. *refills* But, please... stop, you three! *glares also at Eyremon and Vahk* You've been friends, so why starting all this round of accusations? Eyremon, don't you go on telling me you really want these people to believe you are an evil shapechanger! [Goes to Sabre, trying to rouse him] Sabre? C'mon, it's me, Tanny! Who gave you that bottle? Sabre? [No result whatsoever... she sighs] Everybody here seems to have lost his sense... Mira, tell me... why this resistance of yours to cooperate? Can't you see that we have to stay together now?? You... *narrow her eyes, a sudden thought crossing her mind* Mira, you live isolated... you surely is one to see the need for cooperation... unless you have no reason to be afraid. Is it possible... that you have become one of them? How else you could be so sure all this is nonsense? Your attitude is starting to make me think... OOC: a vote for Mira OOC2: Sorry for the time... had connection problems...

Tanny, the no-nosense barmaid of the local tavern, raises her voice amid the murmur. "Stop all this noise! How can you even listen to each other in the middle of this tumult?" The villagers stop for a while, looking at her. Some of them remember quite painfully how she uses to stop barroom brawls, so immediately shut up. "Listen, we should gather our wits and start thinking. If we start flinging out accusations just because our neighbor didn't greet us last morning, we'll just finish ourselves off! No brawling here, right?" *surveys the now silent room* "Good. So, now we need to sort out who has been behaving strangely lately... who has shown an abnormal secrecy, or the like. I, for my part..." Tanny becomes silent, her eyes holding and weighing each one of them. Most have been her friends for a long time, all of them dropping by the tavern at least twice a week, looking for talk and fun. She shakes her head sorrowfully. OOC: I'm witholding my accusation for now... will post again shortly, after more people have chance to present themselves Edit: tavern=inn?

Well, as Eyremon has already offered to be the 1st day victim... I'd like to be available for the second one
