GAME 2: Wolves

[protoshepherd]

[ Each wolf will receive a text stating:
Now
Meet other wolves
Female's W.C.
3rd cubicle
Flush three times
They also have the option to reply to the message. (Ping me if this happens!)

And if they follow the instructions, the wall behind the cubicle will slowly reveal a ~ secret path ~ to a secret room.

Except, this room is also a washroom. But it looks pretty swag, like a hotel's bathroom. There's a bathtub, a shower, a toilet with a bidet, a HUGEass mirror, and the floor is carpeted. It seems like a pretty private place for you and your fellow wolves to plot in.

Have fun! ]

[No way, mystery texter. Jesse Pinkman is getting answers.]

Yo who the hell is this???

[ as if you'll get any real answers :( ]

************************************************
U WILL DIE DEAD IF YOU STOP READING
**************************************************

so there was this bunny named elf and he had an owner named benny and benny loved the rabbit. 1 day the rabbit and benny was taking for a walk and then they ran in 2 a girl who also wlaked with her bunny and it’s name was cammie.

her name was beth. beth and benny went 2 starting dating and 1 day they were having unprotected sex and weren’t watching their bunnies like good pet owners should be. then the rabbits both ate hand grenades and exploded. then their exploded bunny parts were buried but the bunny parts turned into smaller bunny babies and clawed their way form the ground and attacked people who have unprotected sex.

if you don’t pass this along 2 12,000 people, bunnies will bite your penis off and they will bite your vagina off 2 and then they’ll eat ur eye balls until they can drink ur eye socket blood. i broke this chain letter and now i’m died.

[yeahscience]

[Well, that was less than productive.]

a chain letter

seriously

Actual Threadstarter

[yeahscience]

[That deeply frustrating conversation not at all taken care of, Jesse reluctantly makes for the women's bathroom and follows the instructions. And, okay, when he gets there, he has to admit, it's swank. It's probably the least upsetting surprise he's had so far, although he eyes the bidet with some trepidation.

He's alone when he first enters, so he takes the opportunity to pause for a smoke, finally settling down -- if constant knee-jiggling jitters can be called settling -- on the edge of the tub. To be honest, it's actually kind of a relief to be in here, if it really is safe to talk in here. He was starting to go totally nuts out in the open.

When another wolf enters, he looks up.]

'Sup, bitch?

[inspectormacarena]

[So they're going from "dumbass" to "bitch", huh? Strike two, Jesse. Not that Cabanela will give any sign it bothers him. He's too busy prancing across the plush carpet and giving a low whistle at how fancy this is. Maybe he'd be surprised to see Jesse here, but... Well, the whole partner thing made it a given.]

Yo, how's it goin'?

[bestworstdad]

no one is going to kill me for using the girls bathroom right

[The most pressing questions.]

[inspectormacarena]

[Did you really think he wouldn't reply? He makes sure to wave this clunky old cellphone around with a few flourishes and twirls before he starts typing, too.]

Yo. Might you be our gracious host? I'm afraid I don't feel incliiined to take orders from a total straaanger. How about you put a stop to all this and open the dooors? That's a good fellow.

*****PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO HELP THIS LITTLE GIRL*****

Dear All,

I just received this mail from my friend.

Please respond to it. It will just mean employing a little bit of time and won’t
cost you a penny. All it needs is the heart for you to send this mail. PLEASE
pass this mail on to everybody you know. It is the request of little girl who will
soon leave this world as she has been a victim of the terrible disease called
CANCER. Thank you for your effort, this isn’t a chain letter, but a choice for all
of us to save a little girl that’s dying of a serious and fatal form of cancer.

Please send this to everyone you know…or don’t know. This little girl has 6
months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a chain letter
telling everyone to live their life to fullest, since she never will. She’ll never
make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of
her own. By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her
and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to,The
American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and
recovery plan.

Good day, Mr. Cabanela. Unfortunately, we follow certain rules here. At
the moment, we are not allowed to open any doors. Perhaps tomorrow
or the day after that.

One guy sent this to 500 people !!!! So, I know that we can send it to at least 5
or 6. Come on you guys…. and if you’re too selfish to take 10-15 minutes
scrolling this and forwarding it to EVERYONE, then you are one sick person.
Just think it could be you one day.It’s not even your $money$, just your time!!!

[inspectormacarena]

[....Wow. First off, this isn't an E-mail, this is a text message. Second of all, it's a good thing Cabanela actually decided to read this in case there were some hidden clues, or he might've missed that message that was sandwiched in-between spam.]

That's Inspector Cabanela to you, maaan. And you're a bad little baby for forcing rules onto individuals who did not agreee to anything. Speeeaking of which, I find it hard to believe the LAPD would sponsor anything like this. They might not be too happy if they find out you're using their good name to justify this little game.

How's about you do us a favor and give up now? The more you try to keep plaaaying, the more severe the charges will be when you get caught. ;)

Actual thread starter for day 1 part 1

[inspectormacarena]

[And so, after gathering enough information from the cellphone and out in public, Cabanela will finally retreat into the Secret Bathroom (Secret bathrooom...!~ Through the wa-aall!~ Secret secret secret secret secret bathrooooom!~)

As he does with every other room he enters, he twirls his way through the door and strikes a pose, red scarf fluttering behind him. He doesn't agree with being a wolf- not at all- but as far as he can see there's no harm in it. There's no way they could be 'bad guys' or anything of the sort, because he knows for a fact he hasn't done anything wrong. ...Well, except for those two mistakes he made ten years ago, but boy has he been working to redeem himself. 'Taking out sheep' is probably just a figure of speech. Yup.

Man, they're wolfing it up in style, aren't they? What a nice bathroom. He'll just take a seat beside the sink and wait for more of their fellows to trickle in. Aside from Jesse, he has no clue who the wolves are supposed to be. He's also humming Roxanne under his breath, because he passed by that door again in the hall and now the song is stuck in his head.]

[bestworstdad]

Whoa! The no food asshole!!!

[God why are they both here together.]

STARTER THING idk I'm late

[ingoodhans]

[ Being cast as the "wolf" isn't exactly surprising to Hans. Whatever game this creepy blue thing was playing, at least they got their metaphors right. But you know, that's for other people to discover later. For now Hans is just super nice and confused about this mess.

I mean, they're all confused, right? Hans might as well say hello to his fellow teammates, so to speak. ]

So... Wolves? Kidnapping? What exactly are we doing here?

[ It's not like Hans knows how to text... ]

Night 1

[protoshepherd]

[ The wolves will receive another text, apart from the one they receive for ousting.

Female's W.C.
NOW

By the sink is a notebook and a pen. There's something written on the first page of the notebook. It's as if it was written by a third grader.

Write the name of the team you wish to be booted off the game.
Wolves must decide as a group.
Remember, a prize awaits if you win.

If you look up, you'll find the badger staring at you on the other side of the mirror. Creepy, huh? ]

[pestsandplagiarism]

[...very thankfully, Gilderoy finally managed use the phone to get the message to get into the bathroom and... oh.

Oh... this isn't a role Gilderoy can't take on, but it's really bad for his image. Nevertheless, it seems like he must, he'll wait to see what the others have to say about this.]

...really, what a predicament... I can't say I like the idea of booting any of them out, personally... is there some sort of way around it?

[inspectormacarena]

[Ooooh, a notebook and a pen! He was hoping to find one of those earlier today, when Luca wanted to explain sfeer theory. Alas, it's too late now and low on his list of priorities. ...Maybe he can make off with it after the voting.

Good evening, Mr. Badger, it is about time they had a talk without the pointless phone spam.]

Just to be aaabsolutely clear, 'taking a sheep out' is not the same thing as killing them, yes? [There's been a lot of confusion over this and it's the most important thing to have clarified.]

[yeahscience]

[Cabanela isn't the only one who's seriously distressed, especially after witnessing the gunshot in the main room. Jesse takes off for the bathroom to calm down, but just winds up pacing and smoking. He rambles at whoever else is there:]

Okay, look -- it's obvious that the psycho in the furry suit isn't gonna let us go until we play the whole bullshit game, right? And he says no one's gonna get killed if we do. I'm not saying like I trust him, but... we gotta do something to get out of here, right?

I mean, I got responsibilities back home. I got people that count on me. I can't be-- be messing around out of state with freaky magic tricks and people that think they're aliens and whatnot. It's not like I wanted to take a trip out to Burning Man.

[He sucks on the cigarette, then stabs it at the notebook.]

If we have to pick someone, I'm not saying I want to, but if we really have to, I say we make it that Doom guy. Right? The dude is cracked. It'd-- it'd probably be doing him a favor, one way or the other.

NIGHT 2

[protoshepherd]

[ Wherever you are, you will hear the scratchy voice in your head. If you've never heard the Badger speak to you, then prepare for the fright of your life. ]

Talk to other wolves. Eat a team again.

[ Yes, this is another sign to convene in the secret bathroom. ]

[bestworstdad]

[ROLLING HIS EYES.]

I'm some kind of hero. This isn't what I'm supposed to be doing.

[ingoodhans]

[ OH that's creepy. Why this. ]

Eating makes it sound kind of... well.

[ He sighs. If he's out today, he isn't about to go alone. ]

Maybe we should vote off the other group that was in the poll? Since it looks to me like Gina and I are pretty much out.

[ Thanks for the support, GUYS. ]

At least that way they won't know if they got it right or not. It should throw them off.

[ Yeah, oops, the nice guy facade is gone, Hans just wants REVENGE. ]

[inginious]

[ HAVE SOME SENSITIVITY, TERRIFYING HELL DEMON OF HORRORS.

Ugh. Ugh. Ughughughughughugh. She does not want to think of the possibility of her own elimination so let's just... focus on ruining someone else's game. Right? Right. ]

Let's strike some fear into the hearts of the flock and go for a team nobody's talked about. You think you're safe because you're off the discussion table? [ Gina claps her hands together suddenly and loudly. ] Wrong! [ THEY DESERVE TO BE STRESSED FOR SUSPECTING HER AS FAR AS SHE'S CONCERNED, rude little snots. ]

Day 3 plotting

[inspectormacarena]

[Shortly after the 'safe sheep' clue is delivered, along with the notion that the people who turned to glass weren't murdered, Cabanela will leave some subtle hunts for the remaining wolves to gather in the secret bathroom. There's planning to be done, because deaths or no deaths, they're in hot water now. Words that he heard from Luca that morning are still ringing in his head: "There must be something in it for them, if they're still continuing to play." ...What is in it for them? It's as if an unseen force is having them play to the best of their ability.

He sits on the rim of the bathtub, legs crossed and one hand pressed against his chin.]

Alright boooys, gather 'round. Here's the dealio. Things are gonna get miiighty tricky from here on out. Shades had it right when he said that by process of elimination, there's three remaining teams left unmentioned, one of which would be wolves. It'd be between myself and Mr. Jesse, Mr. Dandy and Miss Diana, and the dimwitted detective duo. There's no weaselin' out of that, so it's up to us to cast suspicion onto one of the ooother two teams.

Now, the question is, will the sheep act on that knowledge? I get the feelin' that some of them have their doubts about the results of the very first ousting, meaning Mr. Nagi and Mr. Lockhart aren't out of the woods yet. There's aaalways a chance they'll let those doubts get the best of 'm and undo the luck that tying the votes left us with.

[Honestly, if he was in the sheep's shoes, he'd be doing the same thing. The results of the randomized ousting were highly suspect. Yuuki and Aoi have been keeping such a low profile it'd be hard to peg them as wolves and he wouldn't believe that Kelly and Emily were wolves- especially after the way Hans accused them. Which is exactly the principle his back-up plan his based on, but they'll get to that when they get to that.]

Now, let's swap some ideas, baby. I wanna hear your thoughts, suggestions and whatever else comes to miiind. I've got one plan to offer up, but it's gonna be aaall the way on the bottom of the list. Plan Z, if you will. It's a gamble and depending on how things play out, we might not get to use it at all.

Day 3 plotting

[yeahscience]

[Jesse has been a wreck all day. For once, he's all too happy to go to the secret room when he gets the cue from Cabanela; at least here he can talk to people. He sits down against the wall, knees jiggling, a cigarette in his shaking hand, and listens to his partner.

It makes sense. It all makes sense, what he's saying. Jesse's even pretty sure that the little crystal-clear part of him in the back of his mind -- the part of him that tends to work things out when everything else is chaos -- has figured out what Cabanela's plan will look like. There's just one problem:]

No way, man. I'm out. I can't--

[He shakes his head and sucks on his cigarette, exhaling sharply.]

Do you really believe what the badger said? We killed those people!

Day 4, very early morning hours

[inspectormacarena]

[If anyone needs Cabanela, he's catching up on some much-needed sleep on the floor of the secret wolf bathroom. He could've done it out there, but right now he needs the solitude. An overpowering mixture of exhaustion, nausea, stress and guilt has left him in a very shabby state. One far worse than he can show before the sheep, because they can't know just how badly the events of Night 3 have torn him up. He feels like a horrible person- the lowest of the low- and he still can't come forward for whatever reason. He still has to manipulate other people, whether it's intentional plotting or just a convenient turn of events.

At least the carpet in here is nice and soft. At least it's quiet. At least there's no horse.]
