 		Ok, then the reply I got is:

~ Transition Village II will accept and respond to one move per day, unless otherwise noted. There is no activity on Sundays.

Press the words to see the Times of Transition.


Which is a substitution, and translates to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Governor is interested in learning more about your abilities. He has already hired a stealth worker, but he is always looking for a replacement considering the shortened life-expectancy of anyone in that position. Thank you for applying to work in Transition Village.


Sent a reply and I'm waiting for a response.

 		I think my loyalty and trust worthiness was being tested. That or they wanted me to be rouge. Well my name says it all. A balance must be maintained in the world.
Quote:
Interesting. I think I would have noticed that the lock was a bottle while I was picking it. Another sign that something is amiss here. Everything I have heard about the Governor has been good and he seems to be a rather gracious person to me. He imprisoned these ghosts for a reason. They can stay that way. I am always up for lending a helping hand. I refuse to aid evil. I just know that there are ghosts out there truly in need and deserving of my help. I better put this life bead in my pocket, hide the knife in my belt, and finish my dusting. Then I will leave the room to inform Mr. Unsound of the activities of the naughty ghosts in the lab.


TV Reply
Quote:
You make a tough decision to leave the bottle of freedom alone, and you pocket a life bead instead. Finishing your job dusting, you exit the Governor's bedroom and stand in the hallway.

Momentarily, the butler arrives in the hallway.

"Well?" He studies you with a quizzical eye. "How did your first dusting go?"

You tell him everything.

Without a flinch in his expression, Mr. Unsound lifts his right hand and snaps his finger. Instantly, the two ghosts who commissioned your assistance appear behind him.

"Are these the two who asked you to deliver the bottle?"

You nod.

The woman cries out, and her cousin snarls at you.

The butler snaps his fingers once more, and the pair disappear.

"Thank you for being honest. You will be repaid. In the meantime," he says, "you will need to stand guard over those two. Trust me, they are not what they say they are. You can find them in the Grand Ballroom, behind the bar. I will speak with the Governor and then meet you there."

And with that, Mr. Unsound vanishes.

I notice the boy is weeping, but more importantly i notice that he is facing the far door, meaning his field of vision is on it as well, No matter what my suits abilities he will be more likely to notice the door in front of him opening. That leaves me the door on the right, by the old dresser, but even still I know I will need to be silent and these hangers are my first danger....

Making sure to avoid the hanging clothing and the hangers they are attached to, I slowly step down into the room, sliding down onto the floor, kneeling, I try my best to keep under the clothing while still staying out of view, and with utmost care, I begin the process of slowly crawling towards the door on the right, I hope the boy stays in his tearful moping , but I note that if he does not i can blend into the clothing or even the side of the dresser..... Now the door, is it locked, I must now find out, as I pray for it to be open, I gently test the it.



lets see how i did... you think it was the right move ..

As the dragon hovers in mid-air above the church, I feel the pressure pushing me down ease off. I sit up, and look out around me. Stunned at the beauty of what I see, I almost miss the traveler behind me, who reveals his name to be Muff, say "...Heeka goawy. Hmm...anyone know what that might mean?"

I work it over for a few seconds in my mind. It'd been a while since I'd heard these words, but I knew them, and it only took a few seconds for me to remember. "Well, if I remember correctly, 'Heeka' means 'Temple', and 'Goawy' means 'Place or Location'," I call back. Looking down at the town, and the ghosts dancing outside the church, the missing puzzle piece falls into place. "So maybe we're going to the church?"

He pauses for a moment, lost in thought, before asking me if I knew anything else in Draconian. I struggle mentally to dredge up a few words, and say "Austrat udoka ekess douta okarthel, it means 'Fly us to your home'. Try that!"

Behind me, I hear Muff yell the phrase to the dragon. I cross my fingers, silently praying that the dragon will understand. For a few seconds, it continues to stare at us, a strange look in its eyes, then suddenly turns it's massive head around and begins to slowly lower itself to the ground. The ghosts below look up, noticing the dragon, and begin to spread out and form a circle around the descending dragon.

The dragon's feet touches the ground, as its flapping wings blow up a gale. The ghosts begin to dance around again, and as they swish past I see on the edge of my vision someone who seems altogether less pale than the others. As the dragons wings stop flapping, I scurry my way down the dragon's neck to my fellow companions, then continue down the dragons back and tail, leaping off before the end.

I hurry around to the dragon's front, and stare the majestic beast in the eye. Summoning up the last few scraps of Draconian I know, I quickly paste together something to ask: "Yth confn persvek martivir, darastrix. Yth chiili ti huven ekess ezouke wux. Svabol ui douta ominak, vur kii chiilia wux jutosh de douta pliso?" The dragon stares down at me for several seconds, as I await his response, then opens his giant maw and growls his answer: "...


Direct translation: We come in peace, dragon. We do not wish to wound you. What is your name, and why did you escape from your master?

Interesting fact: There is no known Draconian word for harm or injure.

Before I forget... this is either a different servants room, or the PM put in an extra door just so I couldn't guide you to the statue. Be warned. The previous room I believe only had one door. And even if we added a door, the door with the known destination is the one you can't go through. So I have no idea where you're going.

 		The dragon speaks! Everything in italics is a translation.

Quote:
"I did not escape," the dragon bellows, bits of fire popping from its great mouth. "I killed someone who did not wish for me to perform this years ceremony"

You catch the Draconglish and try to understand it. Others around you appear to be trying to decifer the language, as well.

The dragon goes on. "Thanks to you, I am back in time to crown the next king and queen of the festival. May i have the king?"

Reaching its long neck into the church, the dragon pulls out a sleeping man by clipping his shirt collar in its teeth. The traveler is fast asleep, and his hat remains on his head.

The dragon takes a breath, and then blows yellow air onto the man. As the air touches him, the hat on his head turns into a crown of yellow gold, decorated with at least ten shining garnets. He does not wake up.

"Where is the Queen?" The dragon looks around. There is silence for a few seconds, but then the ghost of a young girl runs up.

"Right here!" she calls. There is a traveler – a woman – standing behind her.

The dragon blows yellow air onto her, and a crown of yellow gold with sparkling quartz appears on her head.

The crowd erupts in cheers.

The Queen vanishes, and the King remains asleep on the ground.

With three incredible beats of its wings, the dragon lifts off alone and soars into the air.

Ghosts around you disperse, and you are left alone with your two friends, another traveler, and the sleeping king.

 		This feels weird, being somewhat secretive about what's going on in the game. I was not posting here so that both Ifihadahifi and myself could interact realistically. Given the current situation, I no longer felt it necessary. So here's the catchup. Ifi can choose whether to post his side.

TV wrote:
Hanging overhead, you spy on Ifihadahifi, who has picked up the binoculars lying at his feet. The sky is an odd mixture of night and day – over the village it appears to be early, misty morning, but here, over the mansion, it looks like twilight.

Then, Ifihadahifi looks right at you! – but you hide yourself instantly. Several seconds pass where you are certain he is looking for you, but then he gives up, and you can breathe again.

Your target wanders back and forth for several minutes, and then he sees it, a pathetic excuse for a vampire bat, slumped behind a chimney stack, pitiful and afraid, with ribs showing through its patchy fur.

There are two items left on the roof, and Ifihadahifi is not paying attention to them: a life bead, and a honeydew melon. You may take only one item per turn.


Me wrote:
I hesitate for a moment, expecting Ifi to immediately turn and take the Melon for the bat. Not wanting to reach for the melon at the same time as him, I decide to concede the Melon to him. After waiting on him to take the Melon first, I grab the life bead, then look for a safe hiding spot on the roof. I then drop down to the roof and hide, aiming to not be in the last spot that he saw me when he notices the missing item.

I continue to watch him from my hiding spot as I examine the bead, wondering if it is special in any way, or if it is just the same as the beads previous travelers spoke of when I did my research prior to applying for this job.


TV wrote:
Wanting to watch your target some more, you fall back and hide in a particularly shadowy area of the roof. Before you go to your place, though, you grab the life bead and leave the honeydew for the other traveler.

Ifihadahifi is going slowly toward the bat with the fruit in his hands, making soft sounds to soothe the shaking animal.

You decide to examine the life bead. Upon close inspection, you feel quite confident that this is, in fact, "just the same as the beads previous travelers spoke of." However, that's not exactly a bad thing, considering how important the life beads were to the previous travelers.

Just then, you hear your target cry out in pain. You look. The little bat is sucking his blood!

Ifihadahifi swats the bat away from his finger, but you can see instantly that something is wrong. Not only is the bat impossibly round after such a short feeding, but your target is impossibly pale.

A smile creeps across the traveler's face, and you see two sharp teeth glisten from under his lips.


Me wrote:
Shocked, I almost lose my footing on the roof before ducking back under cover to think.

"Think, Daniel, Think! What do you know about vampires?"

A large body of lore and superstition flood over me, far too fast to process much of it at all. I decide instead of focus on what I have and try to work backward from there. I have a life bead. I also have possible access to a tree, if I can get back to it before I am turned into a vampire myself.

Then it hits me -- holy water and crosses work on vampires because they are religious relics. As in, any religious relic should work, if that particular lore is truth. Not having dealt with a vampire myself before, I can't be sure, but it's the best chance that I have.

I creep from my hiding spot, holding the life bead between myself and Ifihadahifi, hoping that it will keep Ifi at bay. I creep toward the tree. I would prefer that Ifi never notices me, but if he does my legs are constantly poised to leap into the tree (hopefully he can't fly!) if I am close enough. If I get to the tree without being noticed I plan to first break off a branch to fashion a crude stake, then climb into the tree to continue putting distance between myself and the vampire.


TV wrote:
You retreat. It is the best course of action at this point, considering you are unarmed and were not expecting to run into a human vampire, vegetarian or otherwise.

There are some branches nearby that you feel will be perfect for a stake or two, and you are right. You break off a couple of thick branches and begin to whittle their ends down. For several minutes you work from what you hope is a safe distance.

Unfortunately, it is not a safe distance. When you look up, there is Ifihadahifi, inches from your face, licking his lips and looking ravenous.


So yeah. Ifi has laser teeth this time around. Sad

 		Cool, Vampires are new to the game.

My turn. Not nearly as exciting but more thinking ahead.
Quote:
I head for the Grand Ballroom. I go straight to the bar to look for an empty bottle. What do you know, Mr. Unsound thinks just like me. I now stand guard over two bottles of spirits. I whistle as I visualy look around the room waiting.


TV
Quote:
You go downstairs and turn behind the statue to find the Grand Ballroom. There is a great chandelier above the dance floor. At the back end of the room, against the left wall, is an elaborate bar.

There are two bottles containing the ghosts of the spirits you are to guard, and you stand patiently waiting for further instructions.

While you wait, you decide to look at what else is behind the bar. Apart from average-looking bottles of liquor, you find a life bead, a Ghostly Bartender's Guide, and a bottle opener. The bottle opener looks like the perfect tool to open the bottles you are guarding.

You may take only one item per turn.

You find yourself standing behind a massive statue with two beautiful doors in front of you. You peek through the keyhole and see a Grand Ballroom. There is someone standing behind the bar off to the left. The door to this ballroom appears to be unlocked.


I'm guessing this someone is you Grey?

My reply:
Quote:
"Well, it's always good to make friends..", I think to myself. I cautiously approach the person behind the bar, not wanting to surprise him. "Hey, are you the barman?", I ask.

You both stand dumbstruck for a couple of minutes before the professor sways to one side in exhaustion. You help carry him into the church, and you lay him down on a bench. He falls fast asleep.


Sweet, they let me stay in the game!

T.V.'s reply to my last turn:
Quote:
The traveler also runs to greet you, and you both meet in the middle.
Understanding your urgency, the traveler hands you the love letter.
The dirt in your palm flutters with joy, and you head back to the front door of the church, with the other traveler following. Your heart is racing. This is what you have been waiting for. It is all too exciting. You slip the love letter into the nearly invisible mail slot and wait.
And wait.
Nothing happens! Just as you are about to bang your head against the door again, there is a low, creaking sound from within the church. Is a lock being turned?
Then, as if there is someone else there, the door handle moves in front of you, and the door pulls open.
You both stand dumbstruck for a couple of minutes before the excitement takes over, and you sway to one side in exhaustion. The other traveler carries you into the church and helps you lie down on a bench. From that moment on, you fall asleep (until next Monday, when you will wake up still very much in town).


My answer:
Quote:
"Jeez, what happened?", I mumble to myself, sitting up on the church pew and looking around me. The pew wasn't very giving and as I stand I stretch my back and arms trying to shake the dull ache out of them.

Looking around I take in my surroundings, admiring the beautiful artistry of the church.

I realize I have kept my fist clenched the entire time and upon opening my hand I see the tiny glowing dust mite still there, pulsing and warm.

"Well, I think you're safe now.", I whisper to the tiny orb before walking up and placing it gently on the altar at the head of the church.


Have you nominated a queen of the festival yet? If not, does she need to be a traveler or a ghost? If a ghost I would say to nominate the ghost I have been toting around as she already has ties to the festival.

Just a thought...
