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.

[Of course not, but that's okay. Rin doesn't mind going first.]

Rin Okumura. That's 'phosphorus', by the way.

[Since there are 50-million different ways of writing Rin and all, and writing down names is a part of the game.]

[geckotattoo]

Should I be watching for sparks?

[He might sell fake guns, but he knows his military history.]

Name's Munehisa Iwai.

[flamingprick]

Something like that. 'Where there's smoke, there's sparks'.

[That is not the right idiom at all.]

[geckotattoo]

I'll make sure to look for the fire extinguisher.

[Okay, he's charmed. A little bit. Doesn't mean a damn thing in here though.]

Got any thoughts on the situation, kid?

[flamingprick]

[One of his talents is being either a good friend or an absolute annoyance. Take your pick.]

It sounds like a game, sure. I'm not sure how we're supposed to figure out who's wolves or whatever though. Nobody'd admit to that right?

[geckotattoo]

Not unless they thought it'd benefit 'em more to be outed as wolves.

[He shrugs.]

Say we get confirmation that getting kicked out of this game gets 'em sent home? I'd bet good money on a lot of people admitting to being wolves--even if they aren't.

Right now I'd place my bets on the lady in charge not being a dumbass and making sure that won't happen. It'd make a mess of the game and for some damned reason she wants us to play it out.
