GAME 1: FIRST DAY.

[thecrook]

GAME ONE the first day The elevator doors slide open with a gentle ping, and inexplicably, you find yourself inside a bar overlooking an impossible city view. Depending on your constitution, you may feel your knees begin to buckle, and fortunately several plush chairs are ready to accommodate both drunkards and weary travelers alike. Waist-high tables stocked with water and high-caliber champagne are dotted across the bar's lounge -- perhaps you will help yourself to some refreshments? Small alcoves flow off the main interior of the lounge, leading to seventeen tiny, tiny rooms with an uncomfortable (but nice looking) cot for each person still in play. The rooms even have each player's name etched above them in delicate cursive, signaling who belongs where. if you feel like investigating your room, you may decide that its interior leaves much to be desired. But most importantly, as you enter the lounge, a thin blond woman, who would perhaps be quite beautiful if it weren't for the permanent grimace across her face, will hand you a thick sheet of card stock with the game's rules stamped across it in gold foil. "You have until this evening to cast your first suspicions," she says to you, her clipped tone markedly unpleasant. "The wolves will meet in secret, of course, and the veterinarian may leave their protection anonymously. The last special role in play, the lovers, are encouraged to keep their circumstances secret." A champagne bucket sits on the bar top. Slips of paper and a pen are next to it. Will you take this time to cast your aspersions? Poll #18576 Cast your suspicions. This poll is closed.

[That sure is a dragon.

Interestingly enough, Rin doesn't seem particularly bothered by a dragon's presence. Surprised, sure, but not freaked out or in denial or anything. In fact, he will go ahead and go over to say hello.]

Hey, you got fire-breath or anything like that?

[Because, as he has found out, sometimes things that look like they should breathe fire breathe other things instead. So it's better to ask first.]

[rootandbranch]

[the dragon leans over to sniff Rin; that's sure not a human smell. blows a breath out of his nose in surprise at it, then grins as he registers the question.]

No way, how would I breathe fire? I don't have a furnace in my stomach!

[his grin stretches back further, revealing extremely prominent fangs]

If you're asking about cool stuff, I've got eitr in my teeth, though.

[flamingprick]

[Well, half-human. But the demon-half probably smells stronger.

Those teeth, though. That gets Rin to grin widely, showing off his set of sharp teeth too.]

Is that so? Do you think they're strong enough to rip open that elevator?

[rootandbranch]

[Geir gives the elevator a considering look, following Rin's gesture.]

"Elevator" - is that the name for the thing that lifted us up? They should be. Or they'd melt it.

[pauses, struck by a thought]

But why should I? We're here to play!

[flamingprick]

Yeah, games aren't bad, but didja see the rooms? Whatever's going on, they're gonna keep us here for more than a couple hours.

[Rin's not opposed to games, but he doesn't want to be stuck here for days.]

[rootandbranch]

So? Do you have someplace to be?

[flamingprick]

Sorta? There's a wedding going on. Gotta honor the bride and groom and all.

Win this game and bring all the drinks back with you for them!
