April Fool's Werewolf: The Cabalistic Carnival

[norman250]

Hmm... *pokes at player list* Where's Fleeing Coward? He's been posting in Duck's game...

I'll help put pressure on for this Fleeing Coward where you at?

Sorry about not being super active, it's been an incredibly busy week for me.

[Fleeing Coward]

I'm spending all my time putting safeguards in place to try and and crush the Ducks in the shortest time possible
This game's lack of activity makes it hard to do much analysis - last night there were only 2 scries, 2 kills and 3 ailment banes whatever they are.

[Felandria]

Okay.....

I have an ability, and I don't know what it does.

I can't get into specifics.

Make of that what you will.

[Lex-Kat]

Fleeing Coward, to make sure I kill him somewhere!

[Fleeing Coward]

Fleeing Coward, to make sure I kill him somewhere!

But you're already planning to kill me in the other game...

Day 4:

The Stilt-Walker was perched high above everyone, staring at the now-deceased Farmer Brown's fields, binoculars in one hand and walkie-talkie in the other. Per his agreement with his partners, he was to stick to three-word messages only. "Ducks in sight."
He took a few steps, nearly stepping on the pixie which had recently joined the circus. She cursed at him, but he couldn't hear her as he voiced, "Looks very suspicious."
He kicked into someone else, who was knocked to the ground. They shook their fist at him, but he couldn't hear over his next message. "How many? 999."
A third person narrowly sidestepped the distracted Stilt-Walker's steps as he deadpanned, "...I can count."
Finally, the Two-Headed Man and the Stilt-Walker collided, and the man tumbled from his perch, crashing into him, killing them both. As the crowd gathered around to look at the victims, someone said from the back, "Maybe he should have paid attention to the circus."

Night 4:

An old grizzled man sat in his tent, poring over a deck of cards, confused look on his face. "Now, let's see... This one was... Tower. Maybe because he was tall? Kind of... silly, really. And that one... Temperance... Yes..."
He felt a chill as a subtle "whoosh" went past him. He stiffened, and glanced over his shoulder, glasses tipping down his nose. "H-hello?"
He heard a heavy breathing sound, and felt what seemed almost like drool on his other shoulder. He turned his head and heard a soft "honk!" as he bumped into something. The eyes which stared into his were pupil-less, white orbs with heavy blue makeup caked around them. The honk came from a bulbous red nose, and the drool on his shoulder came from mouth with a set of inhumanly sharp, disgustingly yellow teeth. The creature snorted, and a soft "honk!" emitted from its ghastly nose as its nostrils flared and blew warm air into the man's face.
The man nervously reached up to fix his glasses, stammering, "I-I don't suppose that you're, uh, heh, h-here for a f-fortune?"
The creature backed up a couple steps, and the man loosened up slightly. He picked up one of the cards, twirling it for the monster before him. "S-see? I'm a... a fortune teller! I draw my cards, and then..." The creature swatted the cards off of the table. "O-okay! No fortune, then, I can just..." The monster took a step forward, knocking over the table. "O-oh my!" The creature then pulled a lengthy balloon from its gritty overalls, and stretched it threateningly, advancing on the man. He tried to make himself small as he saw what card he had pulled from the deck. "A.. aha! Eh.. N-nooo!"

***

In the morning, the tarot reader was found dead in his tent. He had been strangled with an astoundingly resilient balloon, and he held in his hand the final tarot card that he would ever draw:
The Death Arcana.

[Penguinator]

Bumping this... because it's been more than twelve hours...

[Duck999]

I would've posted by now.

[Pelican]

Hey same

[ThePhantom]

BasketOfPuppies, for the vote

[Silent_Interim]

Unless someone presents me with a better option, I'm going to keep the pressure up on Legato Endless for the reasons I outlined yesterday.

[Elenna]

Felandria, why didn't you vote yesterday?

[Felandria]

Because I wasn't trying to rush to a vote as others did.

Still trying to figure out my role and be useful.

[Shadow11615]

Oops day started. I better vote so I don't get replaced... I was going to vote duck but it seems that won't work. In that case Legato Endless, because #1, what interim said, and #2 so we can have a lynch :P.

[Silent_Interim]

Because I wasn't trying to rush to a vote as others did.

Still trying to figure out my role and be useful.

That's... pretty damn sketchy. If you win with town, then voting and participating is useful.

[Lex-Kat]

Legato Endless

[Elenna]

Because I wasn't trying to rush to a vote as others did.

Still trying to figure out my role and be useful.

This isn't really making me any less suspicious. Not voting means there is less information for town to analyze, which isn't useful for town. Not voting may also get you autolynched, which is definitely not useful for town unless you're a wolf.

Are you not talking about the specifics of your role because the role doesn't allow you to, or because you don't want to claim?

[Penguinator]

Day is now over, unless there's a sudden influx of votes in the next nine minutes.

I'mma hold off on the narration until the morning.

[Penguinator]

Day 5:

(This tune)
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreaming about the way things used to be.
He came to me when times were lookin' hard,
Said no more daily struggles
You'll be circus stars.
Yeah, you'll be circus stars.

Trained monkey:
I spent my life, swinging through the trees
Eating fruits, a life of ease
They said "Get him a trapeze"
Had me fixed and checked for fleas.

Dwarf:
Short, but I'm not that small
Think you're better 'cause you're tall?
Stuck inside this tiny stall,
I just can't believe the gall!

I-I-I-I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I-I-I-I feel something so right
Doing the worst thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Every time I kill, it makes me feel alive.

Invisible man:
Lately, I've been, I've been dead asleep
Thinkin' about the days nobody'd see
I'd been hittin' the bottle pretty hard
Until they told me that
I'd be a circus star

Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreaming about the way things used to be.
He came to me when times were lookin' hard,
Said no more daily struggles
You'll be circus stars.
Yeah, you'll be circus stars.

Bearded Lady:
I feel this hair growing on my face
Family called me a disgrace
Dates would all spray me with mace,
Then I stumbled 'cross this place.

Clown:
Glum, but I'm not that sad,
No, it really makes me mad.
They took everything I had,
Souped me up and made me bad.

I-I-I-I feel something so right
When I do the wrong thing.
I-I-I-I hear my nose go "honk!"
Whenever I'm breathing.
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Every time I kill, it makes me feel alive.

Ringmaster:
Lately, I've been ruining people's sleep
Scheming about how evil I can be
Came to them when times were looking hard
Told them to come with me
And they’d be circus stars

They don't know I'm siphoning their lives,
That’s why I find the ones who don't have kids or wives.
Kill them if they look like they might know,
I sneak up and I whisper
"Curtains,
"Curtain's going to close."

"That's great, guys. But I usually handle the music around here."
The villains turned to see that the calliope player had appeared, instrument in tow.
The Ringmaster growled, "You know what to do."

Take that body,
Watch it burn
Sink it in the river
So no one will learn

Take that body,
Watch it burn
Sink it in the river
So no one will learn

Take that body,
Watch it burn
Sink it in the river
So no one will learn

Take that body,
Watch it burn
Sink it in the river
So no one will learn

I will kill them all, nobody will survive!

Legato Endless was lynched. He was the Calliope Player, Town Booster.

Night 5:

(This tune)
Ah, you can tell by the way I swallow swords
That I'm a circus man, you can't afford.
I'll eat fire and sleep on pins,
And if it's fun, I'll try again.
Now, it's all right, it's okay,
You can look the other way.
But if you watch, you'll understand,
Why my acts are in high demand.

Whether I'm on fire or a stuntman for hire
I'm stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Carnival goes under, but they can't steal my thunder
I'm stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ah, ah, ah stayin' alive.

Well, now I see wolves who think I'll die,
They won't get me, but they can try.
They can fight if they so choose,
But I'm trained for pain, and I can't lose.
Now I'm all right, I'm okay.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
Why the wolves made such poor plans

I may be inactive, but wolves think I'm attractive
I'm stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
I may never vote, but you should not lose hope,
I'm stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ah, ah, ah stayin' alive.

***

Dennis trudged slowly towards the center of the room. It was funny, the song going through his head, considering what he was about to do. …Well, part of the song, perhaps, was fitting.
Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
He looked around the room one last time. All his affairs seemed to be in order. He decided to take one last walk around and see what he could find.
Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
He took a last look at a picture which sat on his desk. It was a picture of him, much younger. He wore a fine suit, the likes of which he had not put on for decades. The puppet on his knee was an old one, one that he had retired when his voice had shifted an octave down. He could no longer get quite the right squeaky tones.
Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
He tipped the picture frame onto the table so that it would not show the picture.
Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
He looked over his puppets, giving some of them a loving pat, speaking to others in the voices he had given them. Then he came across Toddy.
Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Toddy had been… special. There was no other way around it. He seemed to have a life of his own. Dennis would swear that he had his own soul, something. Well, he guessed it was true enough when he had witnessed Toddy’s… spirit, or something like that, the other night. He smiled sadly, tipping Toddy’s top hat one last time.
Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Going to the table, he looked down at the last letter which Zaralha had written to him. It was sweet, heartfelt. The sort of thing good friends who had known each other for years would say to each other. Some jokes they had shared over the years, some things that only she knew about him. He smiled sadly. He stepped up onto the chair.
Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
He couldn’t remember ever having anyone like her in his life before. His parents were less-than-supportive, and he had been shy at school. In fact, he had first begun to use a puppet because he did not like to speak in front of people. Zaralha was one of the only ones left who had joined the carnival before him. The only new one whose name he could remember was Klein, the Juggler. He stepped up onto the table.
Life goin’ nowhere, somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
He chuckled darkly. The full effect of what he was about to do had not yet hit him. He slipped the rope around his neck, and chose to turn so that his puppets, Toddy in the forefront, were the last things he would see. He slipped his glasses into his pocket, wiping at his eyes. "Zaralha… Toddy… I will see you soon…"
He stepped off the table.

Felandria? IDK, I'm not actually that suspicious of her but there isn't exactly a ton of stuff to analyze. Also, where'd BasketOfPuppies go?

Not gonna lie, Duck Season coupled with work has just worn me out. I'm legit tired thanks to that thread.

[Penguinator]

Day is now over.

[Felandria]

How are any of us supposed to figure anything out if nobody says anything?

I have picked up literally zero clues because I can't pick up on any suspicious behavior because nobody is doing any behavior!!!

Well, congrats, you killed the Worldbender, like I could ever figure out what I was doing anyway

[Disc Lorde]

Is this dead? Penguinator hasn't been on here in two weeks, does anyone know him outside the forums?

[Duck999]

Is this dead? Penguinator hasn't been on here in two weeks, does anyone know him outside the forums?

I believe this is dead, as I think he had to leave for some reason or another.

[BasketOfPuppies]

I believe this is dead, as I think he had to leave for some reason or another.

Real Life must've reared its ugly head.

That being said, real life.

[Black Socks]

Shall we reveal roles?

[norman250]

I wouldn't. Who knows if Penguinator will want to try and revive this again, use similar roles later, reveal them himself... etc., etc. I'd just let it lie.

[BasketOfPuppies]

Maybe the April Fools joke was that the game actually starts 4/1/17.
