Runaways Mafia!!

[scorpian]

Ok, i missed things in the write up - such as finding Alex's body.

My thought was that the kids had "captured" alex and the SK had gone after Jones.

If we think Geoffrey is the vig and took out Jones and our SK took out Alex, then our RBed character COULD be mafia and would be a likely target for pressure.

Took awhile for me to get there....

Aint kosher.

Donkey (5) - Horse, Snake, Rabbit, Eagle, Scorpion

Cat (3) - Dolphin, Giraffe, Kangaroo

Dolphin (2) - Chicken, Dog

13 is a majority

[snake]

*shrugs*

I'd have liked to get a lynch but a corpse is telling whether we kill him during the day or wait for the vigilante to get him at night.

I'm just curious as to why so many people (Monkey, Kangaroo) have been online and not expressed an opinion on Donkey.

[dog]

Wondering what happened to the whole Rabbit, Dolphin, Giraffe thing wanting Cat questioned? But since we switched gears, I can go along with the Donkey reasoning.

Vote: Donkey

I sure hope if he is town, he'll claim though.

[mouse]

i have been on and off watching the board. the slow progression allows me to believe that donkey could be mafia, since townie lynches tend to go a little faster.

[scorpian]

It is also a weekend.....

[elephant]

Maybe this will be enough votes to get you to claim rather than scoff.

Lynch: Donkey

The villainous crowd was very disorganized at the beginning. It wasn't until the unexpected hospitalization of Piledriver midway through the day that they really started to point fingers. Yet it was too little, too late and the day passed without any more blood being spilled.

No majority was reached. Night 2 starts now

[Alpha]

Night 2

The figure wandered through the town, desperately looking for their target. They knew they would be in big trouble of the target was not found. They searched the whole city all night long, but to no avail. Exacerbated, they sat down in a park at the foot of a statue. Hopefully they would have better luck tomorrow.

Swarm had returned to the city of his latest defeat, looking for a little revenge. He would not forget what those children, especially that monstrosity, had done to him. It had taken him weeks to reform himself. He was biding his time, sticking to the shadows when a hand grabbed his cape.
“Well…this is interesting” said his attacker as he saw that his target was made entirely of bees. “A lot of good this will do me. I can’t think of a single thing I could do with you.”
“Then allow me” said Swarm as he sent a wave of bees after the attacker. But this had no effect on him.
“I think this is what we call a stand-off” said the attacker as the two realized neither could really hurt the other. Instead, the attacker simply made an offer. Swarm weighed his options and agreed. He would get his revenge another time, but for now, he would let LA be.
The attacker was happy. Swarm wasn’t dead, but he left town. That was good enough for him.

Leslie Dean returned to her rather large house on the edge of Hollywood. She removed her mask and sat down, a little tired from the night’s events. She hadn’t really understood the why she had been asked to go after that man tonight. How much harm could a mere human like him possibly do? But the order had come from the Pride’s secret line and there was no way that was tampered with. None of their children would be that skilled except maybe Alex, and she had heard about his unfortunate demise. She detested humans in a lot of ways, but enjoyed how easy it was to manipulate her way to fame and fortune.
Leslie put her head back and closed her eyes. It was then that she felt the cold blade on her neck. She looked up to see a familiar face…but one she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“But…how is that possible. I just saw you a couple hours ago and you didn’t look…how did you do it?”
“You know, Leslie” said the man, “I never trusted you. This isn’t even your world yet you were allowed in the Pride. That never sat right with me.”
Leslie quickly tried to use her natural gifts, but the man saw it coming. Before she could, he sliced her throat.
“You know, dead, you look just like anyone else” he said as he cleaned the blade and left the house.
__________________________

Tina Minoru was fed up with the children. She wanted them all back where they belonged and off the streets. But more then that, she wanted her Staff of One back. True, she was skilled enough in the black arts that she didn’t really need her staff, but the fact that the children had it on their side made her uneasy. That one artefact made the dread Dormammu fear, and Tina was unsure if her daughter could handle that much power.
Nearby, a boy stood behind a wall and adjusted his goggles. “There you are” he smiled as he watched her through the wall.
Jumping out, he yelled to the strangely dressed woman. “I see where Nico gets her looks from, but her fashion scene must come from a distant aunt or something.”
“Oh, it’s you” Tina smirked, not worried. While he may be the oldest, he was also powerless, and she was not. Tina held out her hand and a small ball off black energy formed.
“Heh” said the boy, “Mine’s bigger.” He held out his hand, revealing a metal glove. Above the glove, a huge fireball formed, which he launched at her. She fell to the ground, burned, unconscious, but alive. Still, she wouldn’t be recovering any time soon.

Night 2 is over.

Eagle has left town. He was Swarm (Town), super Nazi made of bees. Also known as St-Dumas.

Horse is dead. He was Leslie Dean (Pride/Town), one half of the “colonist” members of the Pride. Also known as HavokandChaos.

Pig has been hospitalized. He was Tina Minoru (Pride/Town), one half of the “magician” members of the Pride. Also known as DocDoom187.

One player is unconscious and may not post or be lynched.

With 21 players remaining, 11 is a majority

[mouse]

that was not a good night for us, and unfortunately my info doesn't look like it will help.

[eagle]

Well, since i'm dead, i'm gonna go ahead and bypass the swear filter, then leave:

Doo-doo.

Whoa! Was this a kill from within our ranks? Do we have a traitor or a Vig who made a bad choice?

[bear]

Maybe it was the Serial Killer.

[bear]

Swarm = Wiccan?
Leslie Dean = SK?
Tina Minoru = Runaway?

Looks like the Loners got blocked. I can't think of a Loner with a cape.

[bear]

BTW: if you haven't read the latest Loners limited series, it was really good

I'm hoping it was the vig. Who would a SK member of the Pride be?

[turtle]

We should pick up where we left off.

Vote: Lynch Donkey

[bear]

Why are we lynching donkey?

[scorpian]

I am hoping someone investigated Donkey....

It is weird that our Vig did not go after him...or someone investigated him?

[monkey]

I remeber one Runaways arc where a new pride forms and manages to ressurect a former member, but taken from the past at a time from when he was much younger. I believe he was the one who killed Gert with knife. BUt I could be mixing things up in my head.

Nico? I don't remember.

Ugh. Terrible night for us...anyone have any info to share??

That's what I was thinking of when I read Leslie's death scene.

[tiger]

I got nuthin. Carry on.

[snake]

That's not what I was thinking when I read that kill.

I was thinking of the end of the third Runaways arc when two different groups of parents try to eliminate other members of the Pride so that instead of 6 children inheiriting the new world, 4 parents and their 2 children do.

We know Mr. Wilder can kill. We know Mr. Wilder has a knife. “I never trusted you. This isn’t even your world yet you were allowed in the Pride. That never sat right with me.” Wilder teamed up with the Minorus after Hayes teamed up with the Deans. I think it is possible that certain members of the Pride, while loyal to the town, are disloyal to each other.

Honestly, if I was the doctor, I would have been protecting Horse. Instead, our supposed vigilante killed him. No reason for that to happen unless our vigilante in Mr. Wilder has a goal besides winning with the town or at least in addition to it.

What are earth are you talking about?
No.
No.
And no.

[mouse]

wow we suck. no info coming. no ideas. this is how the town loses.

lynch vote: scorpion

you have a bad guy as your avatar.

[snake]

Vote: Donkey

We had 8 votes on him yesterday and he didn't say a word. If somebody comes on with more certain information, good. We can go with that. In the meantime, lets turn up the heat and get this bird to sing. If he doesn't talk and we don't get more info, we lynch him.

[snake]

Also, I just thought I'd point out our low posters. If Donkey is cleared and we still don't have information, starting a lynch on one of the following players would be better than the alternative.

Cat
Cow
Deer
Spider
Wolf
