*** 2009 SUBSIM Werewolf Hunt - Story and Game thread ***

[Weiss Pinguin]

As everyone goes about their business, Wachoffizier Weiß Pinguin sits at the bar inside Mercy's Inn, several empty glasses piled around him, babbling to all within earshot,.

"I just didn't see him coming! There was nothing I could do! One second he was as calm as a kitten, the next he was on top of me! He-" Suddenly he pauses, and for an instant almost looks sober. "You don't suppose... You don't think I could... Catch IT, do you? You don't think he could've passed it on, like some kind of sickness... Mein gott!" Pinguin stares into his mug, by now long empty, and swallows hard.

*Stands in the inn looking around*

Wow how many years have I worked here? Wow. Now I am the owner. Poor Nokia.

*Looks at his photo on the wall*

From this moment in, this shall be called "The Nokia Inn" In honour of you!

*Paces back and forth.*

So far so good! Task Force has been tore apart. Can't say I am sad about that, not just because he was a werewolf, but rather he was as hateful in his human form as he was in his beastial form. Now we have offed Hitman... and I was right about both Task Force and Hitman. So by my count, that is probably two down. Two to go. From what I have managed to hear from various people Both Task Force and Hitman were just run of the mill Wolves. Which means... the boss wolf, the hell hound... is still out there.

Plus another one. I believe in one night, there were three killings. suppose, just suppose, that there are, four, wolves. 3 standard wolves, and 1 hellhound as leader.

Mookie and I are all that are left of the village! All the others are dead!
So, me and Mooks are human. That I don't doubt for a second.
Oberon and Supermarket are human.

The last wolves, must be two the 5, no, strike that, 4 left aboard U-13!! Kpt Jimbuna for some reason... I don't think is a guilty party. But I do think those men aboard the U-Boat are in grave danger.

One of my oldest suspects since this whole stinking affair began, was FIREWALL. I'm still leaning towards him.

So who can I be certain is human:
Me
Oberon
Mooks and
supermarket.

The last two wolves, are among the 5 aboard U-13 I am sure of it. Just as sure as I was Task Force was a beast!!

And I'f I'm not carefull... Im gonna end up talking to myself! I best write all this down just in case, by morning, I am... kaput! To quote our German associates.

*Lights a cigarette and starts writing things down*

The Weary Dawn

Feb. 14, 1945 07:10

As the early morning sun brought its consoling light to the village of Vanvikan, Penelope and Mookie met Leutnant zur See Nisgeis at the pier. Neither side presented a comforting face.
“We lost Oberon last night,” said Mookie.
Penelope’s eyes were red and weary. “He was so determined to get to the bottom of this, to understand its nature. Now he’s gone.”
“We were attacked last night as well,” said Nisgeis. Kapt. Jimbuna order all men to stay on U-13 and he buttoned the hatches directly after yesterday’s execution.”
Penelope gasped, “You mean to say—“
“—ja, the beast found its way into the boat. Either he is one among us or someone let him in. Seaman Firewall was ripped to pieces in the after torpedo room. The audacity of such an attack has left Kapt. Jimbuna in a shock. Firewall was like a son to him.” He turned and looked back the U-boat tied up at the sea buoy. Seaman Aramike on the bridge raised his arm and Nisgeis returned the gesture.
“What time did the attack take place?” asked Mookie.
“Only an hour before dawn. The blood is still fresh.”
“Oberon was heard screaming for his life at midnight. There is six hours difference.”
No words were spoken for a time, then Penelope raised her chin. “We are not beaten yet. We have paid a heavy toll to the Devil, but we must learn to be equally good at what is short and sharp and what is long and tough. There will be no flinching and no thought of giving in; and by what will seem almost a miracle to those outside this village, though we ourselves never doubted it, we now find ourselves in a position where I say that we can be sure that we have only to persevere to conquer.”
She turned and walked off the pier in a measured stride to the village path.
Mookie turned and looked at Nisgeis. “We had better pick wisely today.”

DAY begins

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna is totally outraged at the scene of carnage in his boat. Firewall was a loyal crew member up to the time he accused his Kaleun of being a werewolf, but that did not warrant this ghastly end to his young life.

Jimbuna felt a tinge of remorse because Firewall was on his list of suspects after that event but was dropping slowly towards the bottom as each day passed by.

The outrage soon turns to post traumatic shock and before he realises it he has somehow managed to walk to the Inn without noticing or acknowledging anything or anyone around him.

He walked up to the bar and ordered a bottle of Schnapps then settled at a table in the corner to quietly contemplate and try to make sense of what had occurred during the evening.....

[A Very Super Market]

Agh! I can't take it anymore! It's Aramike! Aramike did it! It could only be him! I'm voting early today, and Aramike has to die!

ARAMIKE!

[Jimbuna]

As if by magic everything started fitting into place....'too late for those who were already dead' Jimbuna thought......but fitting into place nevertheless.

Oberon (like so many others before him had been killed ashore). There was only one other ashore with him...A Very Super Market....and by his own admission he was bruised and looking emaciated. (his previous post)

Hadn't Oberon suggested Jimbuna look for cuts and bruises amongst the men? And hadn't someone pointed out earlier that werewolves looked emaciated after a night carrying out their evil deeds?

Why wasn't A Very Super Market casting his vote? Was he afraid he might draw attention to himself?

Why was it A Very Super Market was not only casting his vote for a change but indeed, casting it extremely early today?

This didn't account for the death of poor FIREWALL though.....'There must be another bastid, two of them, and one of them was on the boat' Jimbuna thought.

'Perhaps Aramike, but possibly Nigeis or Pinguin' He couldn't be sure at this time.

He thought to himself' 'I must be sure I can trust those I am considering as friend and not foe.....but how best to communicate?'

Plans and strategies began forming in his head, he looked up and saw Penelope looking at the portrait of Nokia hanging up on the wall....'It wouldn't suprise me if somebody named a phone after him one day in honour of his memory' he thought with a wry grin.

The plans in his mind were starting to form at a rapid pace....."Penelope, can I have a quiet word with you?"

Certainly Kpt Jimbuna.

Jimbuna speaks in a quiet, hushed tone...."This horrific series of events are starting to take their toll on me...what with the death of so many then FIREWALL on the boat last night. I think the time is fast approaching where alliances need drawing up. Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
