DeanTheAdequate, continuing your tradition of excellence. The pistol duel was a good touch. How about a score card? More later, Vahktang

Who-hoo. That was fun. Good one wolves. If I had to go, better to be killed first rather than be dishonored by being accused. (and be stopped from killing the accuser Thank you all. I shall be lurking and interested. I'd say 'good hunting' but that could be taken more ways than one. More later, Vahktang

With a check that though the guards' attention was everywhere their eyes were elsewhere, he gave Akane a soft, respectful kiss. "Good night, dear lady. Sleep well, assured of protection." He waited while she closed the screens and for her guard to sit in front of her doorway, in the ready position, weapon on knees, to wait on duty all night. With a soft grunt of acknowledgement, he too left the corridor, and his guard assumed a similiar position across from her door. Shin settled into his chamber, laying on his futon, his weapons at hand and ready on their stand. He was a light sleeper, but his campaign days were long ago. Staying up all night would do no good, leaving him tired, maybe even negligent in a fight if it came to it. 'If only a few years younger...' he thought, as he had many times before. He slept softly and lightly that night. OOC We've got to have a haiku party after the night phase. Prep 'em people. 5 - 7 - 5, about the seasons. More later, Vahktang

OOC: Dang you people are good. Good form.Round of applause please. IC: Akane and Shin stop in the corridor in front of their separate bedrooms. "My lord," says Akane, "I fear-" "Shh," he says, putting his finger to her lips. "With these creatures about they will undoubtably go after me soonest. Take down the strongest, first, in the quiet of the night. "At Lord Iago's suggestion, our guards tonight are armed with weapons covered in silver. According to lore, those are best against such shape shifters. "And, if an attack on me allows others to live, that is a good thing, though I may die." OOC: Library computer. Next post coming up. More later, Vahktang

OOC:That's way Kewl. Do it well. Make us proud. More later, Vahktang

Not wolves, my dear, shapechangers, those that are not what they seem.Like the Kitsune, the Fox Women. Thank you, Lord Iago-san, for your counsel. Ninjas would not bother with the death of a paddy farmer - unless it covered another crime. One that would kill like this, unhonorably, are the worst sort. We must suspect everyone. I shapeshifter would not hesitate to disguise themselves as a noble, or a beneath notice farmer, or a priest sent to help. Though a tourist is one of the more perfect covers. Ishikawa-san, please tell me more of your travels. Did you see the large golden buddha in the Kaga province? OOC: I accuse Vlad- Inoue

Well, what it is is if you say it right it's a pun.I like puns. I made clan leader! I made clan leader!Oh no, I have a huge target on me. Geisha? More later, Vahktang

That would be Washima Shin.Family name first, in Japan, honored one. Personally, I think that would be the way to go.We are not trusted by our own villagers. I am greatly dishonored. I will restore my honor. Only the dishonorable wolves would not! We've always played that was possible.Also, the possibility of it being forged. A nice will and testament, BTW. More later, Vahktang

I'm in. I vote Feudal Japan. I am Shin. Of the Washima clan. More later, Vahktang

Agreed. Well played. Fun. Looking forward to the next one. More later, Vahktang

Well, since I'm dead, this is all OOC. Thank you.That was what I was going for. This is a good board, y'all should be proud. And: But who will take care of my six kids? They have no mother at the moment, I am (was) between wives. Sure, two of them are over 20, but still, they're children. Glad I was killed and not hung. More later, Vahktang

OOC: Vahktang looks at clock. Hmm. Thursday, noon. The death is 12 hours late. Par for the course. IC: Reading to my cat?Is that the best you can do? Or is that some code for something that you do that shouldn't be said in polite company? Myself? I had dinner with my six kids, we all went to bed and slept quietly until we were awoken. Check with them. Better. No, I condemn a person who would run away from his problems and leave his home and neighbors, but not with death.And, he sensably changed his mind. Speaking of which: Since you are mistaken about my reasoning, could you reconsider my denouncement? More later, Vahktang

OOC: Aaargh. They got the seer. How do they do that so early? Can we get a scorecard after the deaths? IC: "We got rid of the Kramer, now let's get rid of the Otis. The down drunk. A drain on all our abilities. An embarrassment when we have visitors to our fair town. X-sabre, I accuse you of being detrimental to our fair town. Drunk or wolf, it matters little. Go hang yourself and save us the trouble. As to leaving town? Leaving our homes? Being driven from where our ancestors are buried. [looks coldly at Damon Inferel] Coward! More later, Vahktang

Vahktang watches the sacrifice. "Well. Innocent. (sniff). Still an S.O.B. (He wipes at his eye and sniffs again). I have to get back to work." (He runs back to his business, locking himself away in his room. Soft sobs can be heard if one would listen at the door. And...) "I'm a businessman. A good one. This sort of thing isn't supposed to happen. Not here. Not now. Not ever. And it's not going to stop until we're all dead." More later, Vahktang

I haven't even spoken yet, and I'm already paranoid?You are just jealous of my sucessful weaving business. And the fact I won't buy wool from your decrepid sheep! I agree with my neighbor.Eyremon is a loudmouth anyway, and the village would be better off without him - even if he isn't a wolf! [i bite my thumb at him] More later, Vahktang

And he does have a point. If I were a wolfbaner, I'd just protect one of you per night just in case the werewolves took you up on your offers. ;P Also, Vahktang, the Report button is nowhere near the 'Reply to' button, so please don't use it unless there is something offensive found within a post. Thank you. Oops.Sorry. Didn't mean to bother the board mods. Hope I did it right this time. But, I'm still in. More later, Vahktang
