[CrimsonFox]

And suddenly...Chief RUm is catapulted off a table and through yet another hole in the ceiling.

Chief Rum, please go to the Middle Floor thread

[saldana]

great...me and the wolf alone again

[saldana]

CF, your PM box is full!!!!

[CrimsonFox]

empty now

[CrimsonFox]

I'll allow whatever you have to say even if it's a little late.

[CrimsonFox]

but hurry

[CrimsonFox]

Deadline. Go have a sandwich. belly's feeling bad so it'll be a little while.

[CrimsonFox]

A terrible noise that curls all your hairs
Erupts from a place that sounds like upstairs
And the gallant Bah Humbug suddenly appears
And it taps on the floor as if to say "Calm your fears!"


It whips out a sword and charges on up
Out the window and with strong leap leaves your group
You hear quite a threashing, a gnashing of teeth
And the clang of a sword, reaching your ears beneath

And then a great wail like a thunderour roar
Is heard in your ears and when you can't take anymore
You hear a loud swallow, a gulp and a crash
On the ceiling above, then nothing...

...nothing...

.....nothing....

Then you hear people moving and you hear people shout
"It's dead! Hooray! Now just get it out!"
And you start to smell burning, a horrible smell
Just what the funk is, you can't really tell

But then you realize something...Something sad sad sad sad...
That Saldana is no longer with you, no spec of him, nor a tad
He was standing right there, where the bug had appeared
"Ohhhh! It was he! He's the Hum bug! The Seer!"

And now he is gone....but he gave his own life
To kill old Wuggly Ump to end all your strife

[CrimsonFox]

The walls swivel and you are now here:

You are in the Grand Ballroom




Items: Table Setting #13, Chair #7, Third Purple Alcove, Pink Flower setting, Large Chandelier, Gold Curtains
Exits: Basement, Middle Floor
People Here: No One

Purple Lever, Fuchsia Stripe Lever, Black Lever, Orange Button, Green Button, Red Lever

[CrimsonFox]

Zinto is pulled through the carpet below into the depths and sinks to the lower floor.

Zinto go to the Basement thread.

[CrimsonFox]

The funeral wall is updated and a melancholy tune plays.

[CrimsonFox]

All the buttons and levers click and reset themselves back into place. And the panel on the wall closes again.

[CrimsonFox]

It is Zinto, yes ZInto, you all cry and shout
And you keep saying Zinto! aloud and about

Zinto is mean
Zinto's can't spell
Zinto is not wanted
Zinto's from hell!

We must vote out Zinto! Because he is lame!
And just like your words, the room sets ablaze

You run to the window and below you all stare
At a angry Zinto alone on the front stair.

He's more than angry and points at you all
for his ears are all burning and he's pounding the wall.

Zinto has this horrid feeling. A horrid feeling indeed.
That people are talking about him.

And then his head had starts to blaze. Then his chest burst on fire and burns all his clothes, then his arms, then his legs, then his....tail?

Yes his tail! A great devil he was. And no one liked him. Even though he would dance and put on a show. But when he danced he would dance away with their souls.
And he gets so mad that he grabs a passerby from outside and kicks her. Kicks her hard like a devil would do.



But that is no more for he cries out and wails.
Because nobody likes him.
And vote him to shame.




He shrinks and shrinks into his dark bird form
And he flies up to the rooftop
Still Fiery and dark
And spits on the people below him that look


But he keeps right on shrinking as small as a bug
Until he shrinks down forever as a spec that could be swept under the rug...

And it lands on the tracks and suddenly run over by the 7:15 to London, that reliable train...
Old Beelphazor the Devil is gone...

[CrimsonFox]

The walls spin and push you somewhere else... a room of some sort but you can't see what as the other wall then spins and sends you to yet another room.

[CrimsonFox]

You are in The Gallery

[CrimsonFox]

There is a long sound of someone screaming....
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh all the way down until a hole in the ceiling opens up and mauchow drops through landing on the comfiest springiest most luxurious pillow he's ever landed on.

[mauchow]

go to middle floor

[mauchow]

Gah I'm tempted to go to top floor.

[CrimsonFox]

"Live it up while you are here, sir. The entire room and thread are yours for the time being."

[mauchow]

pull red lever

[mauchow]

inspect painting 1

[CrimsonFox]

And mauchow says "screw this" and goes back up to the Middle Floor.
(Go to middle Floor thread)


Later the wall spins back and you are in the Great Hall once more!

[CrimsonFox]

***WARNING...if you came to this thread before reading what happened in the Middle thread, STOP READING NOW AND GO THERE!**

All the way down you hear weeping...weeping...weeping...more weeping!

“It should not be. Oh woe is me...oh woe is me...” she cries and sobs. Where is that coming from.?
But everyone lands. It is quite a thump. You look around and you are in the Great Hall again. That place that you started.

You are in the Great Hall
“Congratulations Mr Mauchow! Congratulations are in order.” says the familiar voice of Hogsworth. YOu see him uppercrusty as ever holding a silver platter.
“You mean I won?”
“You have tied for the win yes. You will be half owner of the mansion.”
“YES! YES! IN YOUR FACE EVERYONE ELSE!”
“Yesssssssssssss, congratulationsssssssss...” a cold whisper whispers... “It isssss nice you will be living here too....”

Mauchow looks around at “everyone else”. bhlloy the wolf or at least his crumpled body sits there.
Booradley the maiden in white whose face is covered with tears is there too, fallen in a heap, an awl stuck in her head. You SAY booradley but in fact the tears and the white dress are what make boo recognizable. For boo is now a skeleton, icy and cold.
Mauchow looks between the two corpses confused.
“Is this part of my prize? You know I did hear dead bodies are worth something if you sell them to medical colleges.”
From a place in the darkened shadows at the far of the room you can now make out the stairs all plushy and bed and a very tall figure drifts down from above. Tall and robed as far as you can see. It stands on the edge of your sight so you just can’t see who it is and they speak, “ Yesss yessss “Lord Mauchow” I’m so happy for you, now come here dear boy and claim your prizzzze. But first, let me rid mysssself of these clothes.... and thisss...”
“No thanks um...you don’t need to take your clothes off...”
“First thissssss....”
You hear the sound of metal on bone as they slide acrosssss.... “Sssssilly bhlloy. YOu cannot kill Death with the finest of steel. “ A sword with rubies clinks down the stairs,”
“Ouch! Hey!” says the sword, “What ho! Bob’s your uncle and OUCH! This isn’t very sportsmanlike Ouhc! Oooo! Bully! It really is *OOF* I’ve just been you know looking for my...*OOUCH CLANK* family...have you seen them? we’re all trapped in swords.... Ouch”

It clanks to a rest at the foot of the stairs...you eye it as it continues to yammer and jammer.
Something else is then thrown on the sword a pile of fabric. Very large and all pink and peachy. Wait, that’s not fabric that’s skin! Jag skin!
“You killed JAG! You murderer!”
“I’m afraid you do not understand...” says the figure as it coming into view. It is a gaunt tall skeleton robed all in black, carrying a scythe the biggest you’ve seen. And now the horrible truth enters your mind. It did not kill Jag....It ISSSSSSSSSS Jag!

death (800x600).jpg

“Correct....” The skellykin answers as it reads your mind. "I am Death." and it slinks toward an inch from the ground.
“But ...but...you can’t...I’m a winner!”
“Oh yessss, you win. You win all...and now you will be immortal jussst like me.”
“But wait...no...you can’t...”

And Death touches mauchow with the end of his fingers, his cold cold dry fingers. And mau’s fingers run cold then his hands then his arms. He backs far away from the robed skeleton. But his torso stops him. It get cold in his chest, his groin it’s cold...NOOOOGOD NO NOT THAT! Then his legs and his knees then his little picky toe. Then the rest of the piggies go all in a row. And last going cold as mauchow screams in fright is his head which gets frigid and his brain glazes over and he cannot move.
And suddenly all seems fine again. No worry no muscles no ligaments or blood. Mauchow is all bones and moving around. He is not dead.
“Wait how is this?”
“Well...I need a servant now. You will do fine.”
“Do I get the house and the fortune?”
“Why yes Mr. Mauchow, “ says Hogsworth stepping forward, “ But you will have to split it with someone else.”

Hogsworth claps his hands twice and a hole opens up, a fiery hole all bright and aflame.And out pops a fiery spirit of Zinto, ghostlike yet flamey a neat little tricky.
“Zinto and mauchow, “ You BOTH are the winners and can live in this house all the rest of your days.

“Now bring me a nice brandy, mauchow, there’s the good lad.” says Death
Mauchow starts to say “Get it yourself! or Have Hogsworth do it!” but he feels strangely compelled to say “Yes sir” and goes down to the basement to fetch up the brandy and hands it to Death.
“Now have one for yoursssssself.”
“Yes sir.”
Well he wanted riches. He thinks this will work.
“One thing, Zinto will take the bottom floors so you get the top and me, well I get it all.”says Jag-death. “It’ssss good to be da king.”

[bhlloy]

confused as it's not night deadline time yet

[mauchow]

Was there a button to go downstairs? I truly believe I would have come here and switched my vote if I had seen that jag did indeed basically had to go upstairs with the favor.

Good game.

[booradley]

Good game, everyone!

[CrimsonFox]

Hogsworth begins to applaud you all "good game all you really entertained me!"

Death turns up to Hogsworth and says "Pardon?"

"It is with great pleasure that I watched you all play out my little game."

Hogsworth's face starts to change and it bulges.

"For you see..."

He unbuttons his tailcoat and it bulges some more and his face gets all huge and his belly enlarges,, enlarges to a size no man should have. And he grows and he grows more so than ever before.

"I am, "he begins with a voice that sounds more deep and fat than the fattest of things, "I am Lord Stout. And you have all done me favors by killing each other And at last my revenge is complete. For you see your fools, this game is mine. And now I will kill you leftovers right here."

"Silly man, " says death, "Kill me? Kill death? You forget our bargain."

"Ha! you fool I'm immune to you now. I'm in the spirit world so Death cannot touch me. There is no bargain. And watch it now son. I have a an item to trap death for good. And you two will be no more and I shall be king. Lord Stout, the King of the Game! For I WIN! NOt a poor skeleton or silly devil."

"Yes well, why don't you turn aroud you, my friend," begins death so cold and whispery as before, "While it is true I cannnot touch you right now for you are but a spirit. A spirit most powerful, you now don't realize or remember you see, there are more spirits with you that have come from this game. Why look now!"

And Lord Stout turns, "WHAT?" he says fatly.
And behind him he sees the spirit of the Wuggly Ump and Dracula and they look pretty pissed off.
"You two what do you fools want!"
""Fools" says Dracula. The Wuggly Ump grins in a very Wuggly way and furrows its eyebrows and gnashes its ghostly teeth.
Drac bites Lord Stout in the neck and the Ump starts gnashing Stout's ghjostly legs, intending to swallow it whole again.

"NOOOOOOOOO! Get back! Get back!"
Stout starts to fly. But the Ump Danny and Drac Daddy Torgo pursue...and a pursuit that runs all through the house.

Drac sucks his blood and Wuggly eats his ghostflesh and the spirit comes apart and and gets smaller and smaller and in the distance a frightening howl as the two fiends of Lord Stout the spirited stout have consumed their master all gone he is.


"And Now" announces Death with servant skeleton mauchow in tow.
"Let us celebrate the victory of our two friends here. For they have won the fortune. Hmmm this isn't much of a party. I know!"

Death gets an idea and with a flick of his finger and droop of his cloak all the spirits around you rise. Yes they rise here and there.

There is spleen and britrock and saldana and the twins Jackal and Lathum and all of the rest. All of you spritis floating around in the house.

"I love doing that!" says Jag death, "Now let's PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


GAME OVER!!!

WOLVES WIN! (Jag)
INDIVIDUAL WINS: Zinto and Mauchow

[CrimsonFox]

[JAG]

There was no way to prevent the result. Even if boo had left the room, I had a Butler's Favor I could've used to bring him back. Sorry to keep the charade going, but I wasn't sure if there might be some funky object out there that could screw up a night kill. Play to the final whistle and all.

Mau, I think this was one of your best villager games and I wouldn't have been all that upset if you had come here and figured out the truth (I thought going into the last day I had a decent chance to win until you mentioned you were going to come down here, then I figured it was over). I winced when you went down there a couple days ago and thought you would see that sequence and question why I was being given such a pass. I wasn't sure if you were baiting me a bit when you said it was a boring thread. I thought I also mentioned why I went to the top floor in the top floor thread, so when you went there, again I thought I was going to come under scrutiny.

If Autumn uses his sword the 4-3 DT-Autumn vote, it's almost certainly a loss for us. DT is voted out and the next two lynches in some order are probably bhlloy and I.

I was motivated to have a decent wolf game because I feel like most of the time I do a lousy job. Then after saldana scanned two wolves right away, I wanted to win even more just because it would be ridiculous to do so.

Nicely run game CF and excellent write-ups.

Good game everyone.

[JAG]

Yeah, I did mention it on the top floor in the midst of a long post:

Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - Alone in the Dark - Top Floor - Do Not Read Unless directed here

I wasn't lying that I wasn't trying to hide the truth initially because I figured that would be impossible since it was spelled out in the ground floor thread. But after everyone got in the middle floor, people were saying I went there because of saldana's reveal, which made me look better, and I didn't correct them.

[bhlloy]

Did you see right through my reveal JAG, or did you just figure that even if I was telling the truth and you were scanned that you could explain it away with the village already against me at that point?

[JAG]

Actually if you look at my reaction, I was almost giddy. I was hoping you were telling the truth because I was cunning and figured you would scan me. So there was no way you were going to be the kill of course. I actually wanted to kill Mau, but he skipped out of the room.

[bhlloy]

Ha, that's hilarious. I didn't even consider there might have been a cunning in game. You would have been smart to keep me alive anyway as I think you would have been the lynch today if I wasn't around

[CrimsonFox]

Funeral wall updated further...
