Werewolf XXIII: Up, Up, and Awaaaaaay!

Prologue: Part Two:

Meanwhile, in a secluded part of town...

"This is horrible, the Convocation is still on the loose, and many civilian lives have already been lost!"

"BEEP BEEP. WHAT DOES MR. AWESOME PLAN TO DO ABOUT IT?"

"I don't know, AwesomeBot. Dr. Devious has always been good at hiding like the slithering snake that he is!"

Mr. Awesome sat down to think for a few minutes. After several minutes of self-reflection and concentration, he finally came up with something. Granted, it wasn't the most complex or innovative of plans, but it was something.

"Ah, OK, I got it! Tonight, I'll be taking the rest of the Defenders Alliance and hunting Dr. Devious and his cohorts down like the snakes they are! There may be some casualties, but that's a small price to pay compared to the alternative."

"BEEP BEEP. WHO HUNTS SNAKES?"

Mr. Awesome let out a sigh of grimace.

"Listen, whether or not I come back, I want you to find Dr. Devious's confiscated prototype Zombification Ray and commence with Emergency Plan #506C come tomorrow morning. Here are the keys to the Stronghold of Justice."

"BEEP BEEP. UNDERSTOOD, MR. AWESOME."

Role Recap:

Seer/Fool- Submits the name of a person once per night. A role is returned to the Seer/Fool. If the person is a Seer, the information will be 100% true, but if the person is a Fool, the role will not be associated with the check target. The Fool’s check may return the same affiliation (i.e. an Evil person could still be returned as another Evil role). The Seer/Fool won't know which role he or she is from the get-go. I'll simply say that he or she started out as a Seer/Fool.

Vigilante- Is entitled to kill one target per night. If the Vigilante belongs to a group, he or she may allow another member in the same group to kill the target instead (generally relevant to the Hunter's ability).

Hunter- Submits the name of a person once per night. That person can’t vote the next day. If killed during the night, the Hunter will also kill the attacker.

Preacher- A Preacher's vote counts triple towards the vote tally unless the Preacher wishes not to use the ability before the day ends. Poll tallies will be given out at the end of each day.

Shaman (Good)- Submits the name of a person once per night. If that person becomes the target of a nightly kill on that same night, the kill is negated.

Anti-Shaman (Evil)- Submits the name of a person once per night. That person loses his or her protection for the night and can be outright killed regardless of ability. Shaman and Anti-Shaman powers cancel each other out one for one, so if multiple Shamen and Anti-Shamen target the same person, then the power with the most support behind it will override the other. In the case of a tie, the target is as vulnerable as he or she would normally be.

Lucky Stiff- If the Lucky Stiff would be killed by any means, instead he or she remains alive. The protection from this ability only works once, and, unlike in previous Werewolf games, this ability doesn’t reveal the identity of the Lucky Stiff once used.

Magistrate- Every night, the Magistrate may choose someone to protect from the next day's lynching. If the named person is chosen to be lynched, the person with the second-highest amount of votes is lynched instead.

It is officially Night One! The due date for all night actions is Wednesday, June 18th at 10:00 AM! (MST) All night actions (yes, including Good Vigilantes) must be submitted before then in order for me to accept it. I'll end Night One early if I receive all of the actions before the due date.

All of the roles have been PM'ed to their respective players. If I somehow missed anybody, let me know via PM, and I'll submit your role to you.

And you wonder why everyone wants to kill you on the first night.

I would be perfectly fine with that picture if it just spelled "you're" right. As is, I hate it with every fiber of my being.

Captain Britain subscribing!

Seriously, did Marvel just completely run out of ideas or what? Captain fucking Britain? What's next. Sergeant Senegal? Mr Mozambique? Brazil Boy? Luxembourg Lady?

Someone needs to photoshop a bowler hat on that guy, otherwise he's not Captain Britain.


Anthropomorphic Turnip reporting for duty!

Luxembourg Lady would be the most awesome superhero ever, especially if she never left Luxembourg.

Subscribing.

Karmic Justice:

Sergeant Slappy was running for dear life, knowing that his power wouldn't do anything to his pursuer. He hid inside a dumpster across a corner but was immediately spotted. Of all the things to do, he forgot to close the lid behind him.

"I finally have you..." Karma boomed in an ominous fashion.

But before Karma could finish the rest of his speech, somebody stabbed him in the back of the head with a dagger. Karma didn't realize, in the middle of his pursuit of Sergeant Slappy, that he was being chased down by an invisible assassin. Once Karma collapsed from blood loss, Cloak, a Sewer Thug, unveiled himself to Sergeant Slappy.

"Quit pissing your pants in the dumpster. You look pathetic."

"Y-y-y-y-y-ou realize you who just killed, don't ya?!"

"Your assailant? Not really."

"Th-That was Karma, you dolt!"

"Why should I fear him now that he's dead? It's not like he can bear a grudge from beyond the grave."

It's said that those who break a mirror are cursed by seven years worth of back luck.

Those who break Karma don't even live for another seven minutes.

Spoiler:

Cloak kills Zergrinch, A.K.A. Karma, the Defenders Alliance Hunter

Fallout:

"I'm going to do it, man!" Trigger Finger exploded.

"I dare you!" A-Bomb responded.

Trigger Finger and A-Bomb were in a bit of a rut. Each of them wanted to prove to the other who had the better superpower. After several minutes of trash talk, Trigger Finger was itching to fight, and A-Bomb was at the boiling point. Trigger Finger readied his specialized guns, ready to take down A-Bomb. However, Trigger Finger overlooked one small but very important detail.

"Oh no..." Trigger Finger muttered to himself. "Where are my bullets?!"

"Face my might!" A-Bomb shouted as he readied his nuclear-powered strike.

In another unfortunate turn of events, A-Bomb overlooked the fact that he could only use his explosive power once.

While not a fully-powered nuclear explosion, A-Bomb was capable of leveling everything within a five-mile radius. Obviously, Trigger Finger was right at ground zero and dead where he stood, but wouldn't you know that Cloak and Sergeant Slappy just so happen to be four and nine-tenths miles away from A-Bomb right after Karma died.

Spoiler:

Zergrinch retaliates and kills nuttyturnip, A.K.A. Cloak, a Sewer Thugs Anti-Shaman.
Karma kills Chaotic, A.K.A. Sergeant Slappy, the Convocation of Criminals Anti-Shaman.
Trigger Finger kills nazpyro, A.K.A. A-Bomb, a Good Hunter.
nazpyro retaliates by killing elwe, A.K.A Trigger Finger, a Good Vigilante.

I guess nazpyro will have to settle for nuclear winter instead of rain.

Nose Doctor:

*sniff* *sniff* *sniff*

“I know he’s around here somewhere.” The Nose muttered to himself.

The Nose, named for his superhuman proboscis, followed the scent of a criminal who robbed a local bank a couple of hours earlier. He shortly found himself in a shadowy back alley before locating the source of the stench.

“You can’t hide from me! Show yourself so I can kick your ass that much faster!”

“An interesting proposition. I’ll have to see whether or not you can hold up your end of the bargain.”

Dr. Devious emerged from the shadows. The Nose smelled around for a bit, expecting an ambush party at any second. Much to his surprise, Dr. Devious was the only person he could smell in the vicinity.

“Huh, where’s your backup? Kind of strange for the infamous Dr. Devious to be without cohorts to back him up!”

“Hmph, please. I save my henchmen for actual threats. At worst, you’re an overgrown sinus with legs.”

The Nose’s nostrils flared, not because he was angry but because he was preparing an attack. His nose grew to monstrous proportions, and The Nose started inhaling large amounts of air, drawing Dr. Devious closer to him with the might of gale force winds. Dr. Devious didn’t bother grabbing a lamppost to prevent The Nose from sucking him in, and The Nose was confident that he had Dr. Devious right where he wanted him. The Nose had it backwards.

Dr. Devious took out a small, black capsule from inside his pocket and snapped the capsule in half, revealing a black, powdery substance from inside. He threw the substance towards The Nose, and most of it was sucked into The Nose’s nose.

“Ahhhh, ahhhhh, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…”

Dr. Devious covered his ears.

“CHOOOOO-“

The Nose’s head exploded from the force of all of the air he sucked in trying to trap Dr. Devious. Dr. Devious grabbed Diss’s leftover nose and let out a smirk.

“Got your nose.”

Spoiler:

Dr. Devious kills Diss, A.K.A. The Nose, a Good Fool.

Day One:

In the early hours of the morning, a loud, repetitive buzz could be heard from the center of town. After attempting to shut off their alarm clocks only to realize that they weren’t the source of the noise, every citizen in the U.S.I.C. woke up and explored the town. Eventually, the citizens converged into one point in the middle of U.S.I.C. Park where a shiny, humanoid figure was standing. The figure noticed all of the citizens and turned a dial on its wrist. The buzzing noise emanating from a bullhorn protruding from its chest soon disappeared.

“BEEP. ATTENTION CITIZENS!”

Everyone was silent.

“BZZT. AS ALL OF YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW, THE CONVOCATION OF CRIMINALS HAS BEEN ON A KILLING SPREE AND IS NOW IN HIDING. THE DEFENDERS ALLIANCE AS WELL AS CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS ARE INCAPABLE OF DEBILITATING SUCH VILLAINS AT THIS TIME."

There was panic among the citizens. AwesomeBot attempted to calm them down.

“BEEP. BUT FEAR NOT. THIS PROTOTYPE ZOMBIFICATION RAY WILL TURN ANY SUPERHUMAN INTO A MINDLESS ABOMINATION.”

That wasn’t exactly what the crowd wanted to hear.

“OBSERVE.”

The robot fired the gun, and a green light beam shone from it towards an innocent squirrel. The squirrel’s pupils dilated, and the squirrel immediately latched onto the head of a nearby citizen. The squirrel voraciously chewed on the man’s skull until the poor sap’s brains were visible. The squirrel then dragged the corpse back to the inside of a nearby tree for further storage.

That was the end of the Cannon Fodder Kid.

“BZZT. MR. AWESOME HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE ONLY WAY TO UTILIZE THIS WEAPON IS BY DEMOCRACY. EVERYONE MUST VOTE ON WHO WILL BE EXPOSED TO THE ZOMBIFICATION RAY NEXT. NEGLECTED VOTES WILL BE SUBJECT TO PUNISHMENT.”

The crowd looked perplexed. Mr. Awesome, among all of the seemingly ordinary citizens, was even more confused than everyone else.

“That’s… not Emergency Plan #506C.”

Spoiler:

Crash Landon has been Hunted down and can't vote today.

Well, that was quite a bloodshed for the first night, most likely from Good Vigilantes being able to act on Night One for the first time (maybe, I haven't checked too deeply on previous Werewolves). It's a shame that the newcomer elwe died so soon.

Voting has begun and so has Day One! Everybody except for those who were Hunted down must cast their votes before June 21st, 10:00 AM! If anybody misses the vote without good reason, he or she will have a strike. Anybody with two strikes will die immediately due to inactivity.

With that being said, The_Griffin informed me via PM that he might not have internet access until Monday, so he'll be excused unless he logs on GFF during the voting period.

Chaotic also said something similar, but he's dead anyway.

The strike rate of good vigilantes killing good hunters on their first attack in these games is uncanny. Also, I'm a little confused as to why the anti-shaman got killed when it was the other guy that attacked Zerg. Not that I'm complaining, anything that kills bad guys is a bonus but it'd be nice to know. We won't get killed if we lynch an evil hunter will we?

Unlike previous games, the hunter only learns the identity of the person who submitted the kill. IC's rules state that someone other than the Vigilante on the team can send in the kill, so I was nominated, since my power is virtually useless.

Ahahaha, "nominated." They strapped a bomb to your chest and pushed you at another player.

Zergrinch was chosen to kill on behalf of the Vigilante in his group, as per the Vigilante's ability in this game.

Quote:

Nope. Hunters, good or evil, are only able to kill during the night if they are successfully killed.
