Vampire III: Sunnydale Nights

[Lex-Kat]

Mister Buttons! Cerise quickly picks up the strutting kitty. You can't be seen in here. Get back in the bag. She tries to stuff him back in to the back pack.

[Reinholdt]

What? No way hooman! I went through a lot of naps to get here!

Mister Buttons... er... Reinholdt squirms a bunch, clawing at the side of the sink and the backpack, trying to get down and away into school.

[happyturtle]

Spoiler

Show

Reinholdt makes a quasi-growl. Someday his hooman would learn to call him by his proper name.

In the meantime, he needed to quickly re-establish his reputation. By hopping out of the backpack and landing on the sinktop missing the sink top horribly and landing on the ground with a skitter.

Well that didn't go as planned.

But he quickly recovers by some regular strutting, tail and head held high. Nothing works better than strutting.

((Not in the game - lulz only))

[Lex-Kat]

Mister Buttons escapes Cerise.

But the fact that the bathroom door is closed, hampers his escape attempt, wouldn't you say?

((Just waiting for some random student to open the door for him, I guess.))

[Reinholdt]

Indeed.

Mis... Reinholdt waits meows loudly at the bathroom door. That ought to get someone to open it. Predictable hoomans.

"MEOW MEOW MEOW!"

[Oddity]

Oddity finally catches a ride to Sunnyvale High, too bad he couldn't be bothered showing up earlier. So tired from an entire 12 hours of epic gaming he can do nothing more than sleepwalk.

He rounds the corner to see that down the hallway a door is vibrating, a 'Meow' creeps out from the slight gap underneath it. Luckily for the poor cat, Oddity is not conscious enough to make the decision to let poor kitty suffer. He walks stumbles over to the door and zombishly raises a hand to open it. Unfortunately for the poor cat, Oddity is also so unconscious that he cannot perform the simple task of turning the handle. Hours pass before his arm finally looses tension, drops and with a "click" the opens the door.

Ten scratches to the face later, Oddity falls asleep in the doorway, much to the dismay of one 'Cerise' who is desperately trying to grab the taunting kitty on the other side.

"I'll get to maths when... *snores* go superman!"

((in other words... Oddity let poor kitty out but blocked the door so that cerise couldn't give chase))

[Lex-Kat]

I don't think I understood what just happened. Can anyone translate?

@^ Thanks.

[Philistine]

The new girl looks over in surprise at the mumbling, grumbling guy next to her. She smiles faintly - he was being nice. "Good morning. I'm Starla." She adjusts her headband and turns her brightest smile on - maybe she'd make a friend. Eyeing the mumbler, she smiles inwardly too. A cute friend, at that!

Paul starts at the sound of an unfamiliar voice, his eyes springing open as he attempts to blink away the unpleasant gummy feeling. "Uh? Huh? Uhmm," he responds. He's still shaking off sleep's grasping tendrils, but he manages to plant his feet and propel himself upright in his seat. "S-Starla? Hi, I'm, um, Pa-au-aw-l." A huge yawn escapes as he tries to give his name, and he blushes furiously. "I'm sorry," he mutters, eyes dropping to the floor in his embarrassment. "Didn't get much sleep last night."

[Mustiado]

Gonna post away. I should be back by Sunday.

[Lex-Kat]

Hey!! Let me out! Mister Buttons come back!! Cerise begins pounding on the girl's bathroom door.

[Reinholdt]

Reinholdt scurries out into the hallways. Finally. Skool. His eyes grew with wonder and amaze...

Spitwads. Wedgies. Midterms. Detention. Cliques. Mystery Meat. Dodgeball. Showers. Public bathrooms. And that strange kid staring at him from down the hallway, watching and wheezing with allergies.

Fear. His eyes grew with fear. Skool is probably the scariest place ever. Mister Buttons goes running back down the hallway, desperately trying to find his hooman again so he can hide in her arms. Why would anyone want to go to skool?

[Helgraf]

((Daytime ends - no more non-voting phase actions can be submitted today. Narration forthcoming. RP can, of course, continue unimpeded by this announcement.))

[Helgraf]

Sunnydale is a community of secrets; some that have never been revealed, others are widely known but never ever spoken of. And others are just like high school drama - everybody knows, and they all talk with their cliques about it just within earshot of their chosen victims. Most, of course, fall between these three extremes in the triangle of secrets.

As day slowly turns into evening, the plans and actions of several of Sunnydale's residents bear fruit. Others bear thistles - and few indeed to know who is whom and which is which.

Observe...

There is a boy, heading over to another's house, possibly to discuss mutual interests. Possibly to throw rocks at his window. He doesn't walk like Shaggy, or bolt from shadow to shadow, or otherwise take any noteworthy efforts to conceal his presence or heading.

Imagine then, his great surprise when the grass collapses under him, sending him falling into a hole in the earth.

Fleeing Coward fell into a trap. It took him a while to get out.

Observe...

Here is another. Fairly superficial, taking advantage of the mall sales to pick up some new accoutrements. She steps into the changing booth to try on an outfit; notices the eyes in the mirror behind her and screams, kicking wildly. It is only good fortune that her blind strike catches her opponent in the chest; and the sound of approaching security convinces her would be attacker to seek easier prey. The attacker vanishes just before store personnel arrive to ensure she is alright.

Eldritch Knight survived a kill attempt by person(s) unknown.

Deep in a cave elsewhere, a figure in concealing clothing reads an incantation from a large leathery tome, spilling the blood of several otherwise innocent woodland animals into a pile of ashes as it chants. An otherworldly wind begins to howl as the blood offering is made; it howls through the tunnels, outside, it blows leaves off trees, snaps small branches and makes a mess of things in general for the poor people whose job it is to keep Sunnydale looking clean and proper. The wind builds, and with it a keening howl, until it reaches a thunderous cresendo - and then it stops all at once. In the cave, grave dirt, blood and ashes swirl together into a misshapen body...

Mordokai was raised from the dead. Per the carefully constructed rules for this sort of thing his role has been randomized. He is now unsettling of countenance to anyone he interacts with - We will leave the decision of what physical signs he shows to him.

It is a busy time indeed.

Several people notice that Willow appears to have returned from whatever trip it was she'd said she was going on - not that most folks paid any real attention; what was one less creepy girl in Sunnydale except perhaps an opportunity for more vicious gossip anyway. For those who actually were friendly with her, they would notice she seemed somewhat ... erratic ... sometimes overly close, sometimes awkwardly distant in personality.

Willow has returned. Her presence is something of a wildcard in Sunnydale, giving gifts and casting spells ...

Dusk has fallen and the new voting phase has begun. You have ~roughly~ 48 hours...

[Murska]

Mordokai has returned from the dead? Mordokai should return to the dead.

[Guancyto]

Aw, heck, this has started already? That'll teach me to rely on subscriptions...

He really should. Who does he think he is, Gothicbob? Mordokai.

[billtodamax]

Geesi. His role was randomized when he was revived, remember?

[Murska]

So he still might be a vampire for all we know.

[billtodamax]

*strokes chin*
Cunning.
*strokes chin*

[Guancyto]

And there's nothing saying the bearer of the Book of the Dead can't be a vampire also, if I'm reading the rules right.

But really I just want to see how many times we can kill him in one game.

[Mordokai]

Eh, I was going to point at Murska for not even giving me a chance, but that's just being mean, sooooo... Geesi instead.

RP may follow later.

[Guancyto]

Aw. Fine, point retracted.

[Mordokai]

Thank you.

So then, Murska instead.

[BishFish]

cerise
all weird evil people have kitties


EDIT:Lex-Kat
cerise is the character

[evnafets]

Hey, did you hear what happened to Fleeing Coward?
He was probably on his way to do some mischief to someone.

[Oddity]

((Seer, Masons, it would be in your interest to scry me))

Mordokai

[Fleeing Coward]

evnafets of all the roles that have abilities, the villagers only want to lynch 2 of those roles.
I may have been up to some mischief but I'm not someone that the villagers want to lynch

[Lex-Kat]

Cerise, finally gets out of the bathroom after missing three classes. Stupid boy blocking the door.

As she attends her last classes, she becomes increasingly worried about Mister Buttons. Where could he be!!

As the last bell rings, she really begins to search all the dark places where Mister Buttons may have hidden.

((BishFish))

[Lamech]

Actually FC there are plenty of roles the villagers might want to lynch. Of course, there are quite a few roles the villagers don't want to lynch... day bane, seer, fool, baner, spike...

Anyway I think there is something off about oddity seeming to claim a role.

[Shadowcaller]

((Right... billtodamax I guess.))

[Alarra]

Shadowcaller No reason really.
