WW CVII: Restless Nights in Sleepy Hollow - Game Thread

[Kitanna]

Kitanna shooed the last of the drunkards from her tavern. The denizens of Sleepy Hollow stumbled home and the tavern keeper closed up for the night. Locking the doors and barring the windows, Kit went about counting the night's coin.

“Another fine night,” she declared when finished.

Outside there was a grunt and a thud. “Probably some fool back for more,” she mumbled, walking to the door to peek out. “We're closed.” She called through the door.

There was another sound, this time a scratching noise at the door. Kitanna backed away. “Enough of your jokes, Sally! Go home and get some sleep!”

The scratching stopped momentarily, but began anew, louder and more determined. “Shasta, you miserable imp! I'll be open again tomorrow!”

There was a loud snuffling at the crack at foot of the door. Kitanna jumped back. A shadow moved by the crack. “Nerwen? Aganzir? This isn't funny any more! Stop trying to scare me or I'll put vinegar in the ale! Don't think I won't!”

The scratching ceased and was replaced by pounding on her door. Kitanna retreated behind her bar, grabbing her broom. She'd be ready to swat any of the idiot pranksters who broke in.

Night 1 has begun. Plan your strategies my lovelies for tomorrow the violence begins.

[Kitanna]

Shasta headed over to Kitanna's tavern first thing in the morning. He was ready for breakfast and gossip after a good night's sleep. To his surprise he found Wilwa standing in front of the tavern, surveying the door that had been ripped from its hinges.

“Door's broke,” she said.

“I can see that.” Shasta looked closer. The door lay useless in the dirt a few feet from the doorway. Deep gauges were cut into the wood, like claw marks, but what manner of beast could do such damage?

Nerwen sauntered up, eating an apple. “What's going on here?”

“Door's broke,” Wilwa repeated. Shasta shot her an annoyed look that went unnoticed.

Other villagers arrived to check the damage. None dared to go into the darkened tavern. Even with the sun shining brightly overhead and birds singing, it felt wrong inside. So instead everyone shuffled their feet and avoided eye contact.

Sick of waiting Sally spoke up, “Where's Kitanna?” There was a chorus of “I don't knows” and a lot of shoulder shrugging. “Did anyone go look for her?”

“I bet she's just playing a joke,” Legate said. He forced out a laugh, but no one joined him.

“Hello? Kit?” Sally called, sticking her head into the door frame. There was no response.

One by one the villagers stepped into tavern. Aganzir walked around opening the shutters to let in some light. She immediately wished she hadn't.

Kitanna, or what was left of her, was strewn about the floor. An eye was flung haphazardly onto the bar, her intestines were being used to tie some chairs together, her spleen was splattered against the wall. Her arm lay motionless on the floor, still clinging to her broom.

“Who would do such a thing?” McCaber demanded! “Now who's going to serve us ale?”

“There's only one force in this world capable of this sort of carnage,” Rikae said quietly. “Werewolves.”

Kitanna – ripped apart Night 1

Day 1 has begun.

[Nerwen]

No! Not Kit! Now who’ll get us drunk?

Still, at least my little friend Jonathan is as delicious os ever! It’s good to have someone you can rely on.

*takes a bite of apple*

[Inziladun]

I don't know how reliable 'Jonathan' is, but on my screen he's saying This webpage is not available.

[Nerwen]

I said Jonathan was reliable, not the link function on this site. Try it now.

Ahh. I missed that particular madness, though it appears the inmates are at large still.

[Aganzir]

Okay hello I am here for real! Noting things down as I go so this will be another of those annoying "there she goes ruminating over things people reached a conclusion on 12 hours ago" posts.

I have a question - do we have a Wildcard? No? Because 11 is almost 12 but not quite?

Love that song Inzil!

Ahh here is Legate posting as much as all the previous posters put together.
What he and Inzil said about Mac and McC is actually funny because blatantly wolf-on-wolfing in his first post is something I've seen Mac do before (including me & Kath's game, although there it was way over the top). Which doesn't obviously mean either of them is a wolf (or Inzil whom he also mentioned, for that matter) - it's just that if Mac is, McC might bear watching!

Awwww! Congrats! ♥

Everyone, in order to win, right? Right?

By this point I'm fairly okay with Inzil, Rikae and Legate. I've only skimmed what came after McC's vote because the posts are getting longer but I'll post this now just so you have at least something!

[Aganzir]

Okay let's start with the votes.

• Inzil – Mac
• Mac – Shasta
• Sally – Inzil
• Rikae – Inzil (2)
• Cab – Legate

They haven't changed since the last tally, but I'm just adding that 6 people are still to vote (Legate, Nerwen, me, Algae, and wilwa+Shasta who are a mystery).

Normálný, I'd say. I don't see overreaction there at all (other than the wide-eyedly enthusiastic "holy crap what is that" kind that is so very typical to our dear old Legate) - you would be surprised to see you crossed with somebody who said the same thing.

You, on the other hand, post an entire paragraph about it. I agree the Mac-McC-Inzil-Legate camp is the main thing we have going on so far and thus merits talking as long as we have nothing else, but I think Algae's treatment of it is more off than the thing itself. And here I thought I had reached such a nice zen state regarding her when I skimmed her posts but mamma mia! here we go again! I do fully acknowledge that there's nothing out of ordinary in this suspicion and it probably has more to do with our ways of thinking than our roles, but Algae looks too trigger-happy about Legate to me.
