  1. I am intrigued and (tentatively) in
  2. Inaction is Failure; Action is Courage
  3. Watchmen ...Eh. I'd be lying if I said the hype of this movie hadn't gotten to me. The trailers were art forms in themselves and the comic really does come with a lot of endorsement. I wasn't one of the many die hard fans who are now freaking out over whether the ending's different but I did make an effort to borrow the comics off my brother and read it beforehand. I have to say, I'm glad I did. And I'd advise anyone going to the movie to read it first. The director's attempts to follow the book are so devoted that unless you know the structure you're likely to get lost. The first half of the movie is devoted to constant flashbacks which make it hard to get into the story until it settles down. It's not a bad movie, and its attempts to honour the story are certainly noteworthy, but to me it just didn't really translate well to film. I think if they wanted to cover so much of the backstory it should have been a mini series, not a film. So...yeah. Read the book first. If you don't like it, save your money and hire the DVD. ...Rorschach was awesome though...
  4. "This is horrible! How will we cope? Ohh! Maybe some crumpets? Anyone?" OOC: Savage Dragon (Baa!)
  5. I'm being dragged to the beach this weekend by family so won't be able to play for the next 4 or 5 days Sorry all Feel free to use Talky as an NPC or if someone else wants to take him over...
  6. "Does anybody want some toast?"
  7. Talky the Talking Toaster is exactly what he sounds like. Invented in an attempt to boost toaster sales after the rise of waffle irons, sandwich presses, and the like began to phase the original appliance out, Talky is a toaster with a personality. And a somewhat disturbing infatuation with toasting. He'll happily chat to you while you're cooking your breakfast, ever delighted to chatter and keep you company while you wake up. But if you want to talk about anything that isn't toastable...you might be out of luck.
  8. "The silent type, aye?" Daffyd continued flirting with the lamp post, oblivious of the mutterings some were casting about him... OOC: Changing vote to Thomas / Savage Dragon in an attempt to save my glittery hide
  9. "Ding dong merlillly on high," Daffyd slurred as he staggered about in the snow. The lack of any kind of attack from the Grinch that night had installed hope in the reindeer, who had decided to celebrate with Egg Nog shooters. Not that Daffyd ever needed any excuse to celebrate. "Oooooh hel-LO tall sparkly and beautiful!" Daffyd came to an abrupt halt next to a particularly well polished and decorated lamp post. "What's a nice boy like you doing in a place like this?" Daffyd attempted to saunter up to the lamp post without staggering. The glitter reindeer was about to begin voicing his theories about whether or not Joaquim's accusation meant the end of the troubles (in Daffyd's mind, a most excellent pickup line), when the reindeer slipped on some ice and fell into the lamp post. His antlers tangled against the metal as Daffyd fought for balance, finally disentangling himself. "Ooooh, a FEISTY one! I like that..." OOC: Randomness calls for a vote for Patrick/Grumpy
  10. "What's going on darlings?" Daffyd flounced into the center of the room and looked around, before he noticed the mangled form of Octopy. The reindeer let out a shriek worthy of any self respecting drama queen and cantered out of the room to seek solace in his mirror. "But who could have done such a horrible thing, my lovie?" Daffyd murmured to his reflection. "Unless...could it have been that horrible postman who'd tried to murder the pretty pretty blinky lights?" OOC: Joaquim / Mithrandin
  11. "Deck the halls in gay apparel," Daffyd sang to himself as he pranced and jingled his way back to the stables. The reindeer has just spent an hour having a glitter touch-up before he decided to have bells tied to the prongs of his antlers. After all, Christmas was approaching fast and clearly the only reason Santa hadn't picked Daffyd to be a part of the sleigh crew was because Daffyd had yet to look his most fabulous... "Helloooo my pretties!" Daffyd exclaimed as he burst into the stables, turning a deaf ear to the grumbles and complaints. "How are we all this merry merry season?" Failing to get the desired response, Daffyd sniffed and tossed his rack, before deciding to go and find the goooooorgeous Rudolph... "Ta-ta for now my lovies!" Daffyd pranced back out into the snow, in search of his current soulmate...
  12. I'm in! I'll play Daffyd the Glitter Reindeer. Daffyd is a particularly vain and effeminate and (let's face it) gay reindeer who once paid a small fortune to have his impressive rack of antlers bonded onto his skull (so they wouldn't fall off in winter) and coated in glitter. Unfortunately, the glitter doesn't last long, resulting in Daffyd having to regularly be redipped, and in a constant sprinkling of loose glitter along his back (hence the name). He's worse than Vanity Smurf in his preening and will flirt with anything that has a pulse (males preferred) (See what happens when you tell me I can be ANYTHING?)
  13. I could do Christmas but I'm gone the first week of January...

  15. Asmenfarmod, once a small but busy town, was now all but a ghost of its former self. The villagers – what was left of them – went about their business with fear and suspicion in their eyes, no longer stopping to talk to people who had once been close friends. With each kill and each failed lynching, more and more families packed up their things and left, slowly destroying the once happy and industrious town. The ones that remained, however, still continued their pursuit to find the killers. To hunt the werewolves out from the rest. Debate continued over the likely suspects, before it inevitably returned to Xander. He spent most of his time in a drug addled state, who knew what he got up to when in the throes of the drugs’ effects? The mob formed once again (albeit diminished), the doubtful converted to the cause, and Xander’s house was invaded. They came face to face with the latest of his paintings, freezing in shock as they took in what it displayed. The painting was dominated by a dark figure towering over a human. The dark figure had fur, and with some imagination could easily be seen as a werewolf. Some of its features are distinctly human though. At first glance the human figure looks like Millie...or maybe Enipul...or Xander. The most recognisable features of several of the village's inhabitants seemed to have been mixed into one figure, looking at once like no one and like everyone. The wolf was about to swipe with a claw at the human figure. The mob needed no further encouragement and broke into Xander’s room, dragging his unconscious body out and to the pyre to burn. Even as the flames began to lick first at his feet, and then crawl higher, Xander remained unconscious. A small blessing, perhaps. Millie watched from the edges of the mob, shaking her head miserably at the turn of events. Could Xander truly be a werewolf? Despite the other villagers’ convictions, Millie still wasn’t convinced. I should have tried harder to help, she thought, as Xander expired and the crowd began to disperse. Despite her grief at the situation, Millie couldn’t help but notice that Ezekiel and Giles had met up and moved to one side of the courtyard, where they appeared to be having a quiet but serious discussion. Both of them had intense looks on their faces, looks of a type of hunger that Millie had never seen on either of their faces before. Millie felt herself go cold with dread as she watched the two men talking. Somehow, she couldn’t shake the feeling that their conversation wasn’t entirely innocent. But how could she as one convince the rest of the townsfolk? Millie couldn’t help but feel that those who had already fled had the right idea. After all, it appeared that no matter what, the wolves would ultimately succeed... OOC: Game over! Wolves win! See OOC thread for details
  16. On account of a lack of special activity, it is now Day Phase for approx 48 hours
  17. Night phase for 24 hours. Unless there is a successful baning tonight, the wolves win.

  18. The villagers huddled around the note on Adrian's door, deep in discussion about what his note might mean. It was often said that the guilty flee, buy fear was an equally strong motivator...The line that drew the most discussion, however, was the comment at the end. What did he mean by not seeing those who hunt? Was it not obvious that the wolves had yet to be discovered? The discussion was disrupted when Sarah, the Miller's cook, came running towards the group urgently. "It's Sisie!" she cried out. "She's dead!" Panic erupted amongst the villagers. The werewolves were attacking in daylight now? "Murdered by her father," Sarah continued, swallowing her tears and panic. "She came home late last night and the Miller had been drinking and he...oh God the things he said! He was convinced she was a werewolf so he took a hot poker and..." Sarah shook her head, unable to finish her thought. "She was just a child! And she was with me for some of the attacks, she couldn't have been a...a..." Sarah dissolved into tears. A couple of farmers ran off to apprehend the Miller, while the rest shuffled nervously and looked guiltily at one another. They couldn't deny that Sisie's name had been discussed as a possibility, but now that she was dead it seemed like a foolish idea to even think of accusing a child. The setting sun drove the diminished villagers back into their homes along with their guilt. They seemed to be doing a better job of killing their own than the werewolves. OOC: Harmony/Sisie was a villager and lost the lynch vote by roll of dice. Hjolnai/Adrian was your Seer. Night Phase. Specials, PM me
  19. Roles of the recently departed will be revealed at the end of this day phase along with the lynchee. No hedging your bets by voting for the person who's just written themself out of the story

  21. It was dusk. The barn fire had died down (although no one had the nerve yet to remove Enpul's carcass) and the sun was following suit, sitting low in the sky. Jonathan was once again sitting on his porch and smoking his pipe, trying to forget the screams he had heard along with the rest of the villagers that day. He was so lost in thought that at first he didn't notice the hunched shadows moving through his crops in the fading light. By the time he noticed anything, one of the wolves had already lunged for his throat, silencing him before he was even truly aware of what was happening. The wolves dragged him off his porch and into his field to finish him off, their growls filling the night. OOC: Mithrandin/Jonathan Powers was a Villager. Day Phase
