Sometimes Neverland is cruel. Take last night - the item maker,
@BeautifulBritishColumbia (
Slightly - Lost Boy, who could suggest a one-time use item every night) came up with a way to protect everyone for one full day and night cycle. It was a brilliant piece of engineering:
Nana's bonnet
Nana's protective instincts are inclusive; she wants safety for all. No one will be able to die in the next night/day cycle.
BBC had the item sent to [redacted], and impatiently waited for morning. It would be so much fun to watch everyone get frustrated when lynch didn't work! The item was the perfect mix of chaos and good intentions. It would allow BBC to help her faction win, and it would be entertaining in the process!
[redacted] was never planning to use Nana's Bonnet. When the package showed up at his/her door (carefully wrapped, sealed in two layers of tape) he/she laughed. Why would a wolf want to prevent death and carnage?
If the item wasn't used, [redacted] knew that his/her affiliation would be all too clear to BBC. So [redacted] arranged BBC's death. He/she sprinkled the lost boy's body with fairy dust, and pushed her gently in the direction of the lagoon. BBC floated over the water, her feet just skimming the surface. [redacted] had feared that the mermaid may have died already, and nothing dangerous would be lurking in the water anymore. The longer BBC hung there, the more worried [redacted] became, and then -
Slightly - the most creative, frequently helpful, always optimistic - lost boy was drowned.
Oh, but that's not all that happened last night. It's not even the most strange.
As it happens, Trilt (aka Bill Jukes, aka dirty rotten wolf) was not entirely gone from this world. Her spirit lingered behind. Another wolf felt it, and was inspired.
Last night,
@Jilary was in a position that almost no one ever is. Her position allowed her (really, required her) to answer this puzzling question:
Someone wasn't happy about Trilt's lynching. And so this wolf trekked across Neverland, calling sofly "here slothy, slothy, slothy, here slothly, slothy, slothy." It probably wouldn't have worked on any normal circumstacnes, but tonight the ghost of Trilt was floating along behind the wolf, and if anyone could entice a sloth out of the tress, you all know who it would be.
A three-toed sloth gingerly climbed down from it's perch. The wolf caught it and carried it toward the unaffiliated pirates' secret hiding place.
"Now, sloth," the wolf said. "There is something I need you to do."
The Unaffiliated hideout was looking pretty empty these days. It didn't take long to locate Jil (
Gentleman Starkey, Unaffiliated Pirate, who could block a player every night and prevent them from voting the next day, and who could convert a player to their faction if blocked three times, but who could not block the same player consecutively) sleeping soundly, probably dreaming pirate-y dreams. The wolf set the sloth down on the foot of Jil's bed, and backed away. The ghost of Trilt shimmered and disappeared.
What happened next is the stuff of nightmares. Jil felt a weight on her leg, and when she opened her eyes, the rabid gaze of the sloth was shinning in the dark. Jil screamed. The sloth slashed her throat with it's sharp claws, and Jil bled out.
When her faction found her the next morning, they noticed something on her upper arm that hadn't been there before. When did Jil get a tattoo?
