 		Awww man!

Do you know I've spent the past 3 days choreographing an AWESOME UBER-DANCE!?

But thank you Robbie Very Happy lol

But on the other hand... It looks like I might be leaving Sad

Quote:
You look at your hands and see that they are growing transparent. In fact, your entire body is beginning to disappear! If you make a turn today, perhaps you will re-materialize. If you do not make a turn, you may disappear from Transition Village altogether.

Another traveler arrives and asks for a bucket and shovel. The thin ghost tells her, "I fear I will never get the scroll opened. These travelers who promised to help me are now too distracted and won't speak a word."

Then, from off to the east, another traveler comes running. He joins you at the well. It looks as though there are a child's bucket and shovel sticking out of his pocket.


(OOG/META Sidenote: Hey PMs it's the xmas period, I don't always check my emails!! AND I've been tryna make up a dance!! Sorry!!)

Ooh it was sent before you pulled the switchy thing!

Quote:
Update: The archeologist clears his throat and reaches into something at the bottom of the well. He tugs until something moves. The sound of a stone wall deep below the village slams and echoes.

"Excellent!" the thin ghost cries. In moments, you begin to glow. Your entire body vibrates with power. Hesor, on your shoulder, looks thrilled.

"There," the ghost says. "This should help our choreographer."

The ghost explains explains to the archeologist, who looks confused. "That glow is an ancient power from deep within Transition Village. It gives the wearer any one super power he wishes to have. All he needs to do is ask."


But now... Do I ask for the power to be able to create a dance to open the well? OR, for me to be able to open the well, period!?

EDIT: Nvm went for the easy option and tried to be creative about it... >.<

Quote:
I snap out of my deep trancing thoughts of creating a dance for the Governor as I realize that my entire body is vibrating and glowing somewhat! I listen to what the thin ghost tells the archeologist and rack my brain again... Suddenly a lightbulb switches on!

"I wish to be able to remove the spell on this well... I wish to be able to ride to the inside! As it is clear as brass no need to enhance! I can choreograph rhyme better than dance!"

I look around... A little embarrassed, waiting for something to happen...

You hurry back to the village and approach the well. There are three travelers there now, along with the thin ghost and a tiny ghost of a dog. One of the travelers is eyeing your bucket and shovel.


Ok, now what do I need to do?

 		Okay I got a reply...

Quote:
The thin ghost hears your poem and explodes with joy. "You've done it! Without even the dancers' help! – although," he adds, "I would still love to see the dancers. Are you coming to our end of the year party? There are always invitations sent out a few days in advance. Perhaps you can teach your choreography to the dancers for that occasion instead."

Now the ghost looks around. "The archeologist must open this scroll using the pictures noted here. I am fairly certain he and the horse with the whip must be at the bottom of the well for any of this to work. Are you all ready?"

You have stopped glowing. Your wish to unlock the well has been granted.

"Oh, one more thing," the ghost says with his bony finger in the air. "The Governor has asked that I deliver another message to you. He hopes you will share it with your friends. Can you do that for me?"

He hands you a small piece of paper onto which several letters are written.

So, Robbie it seems as though you need to be down in the well with Hesor and the Whip, so you need to get back here.

Also I thought that message from the Gov' was ROT but it doesn't seem to be... Anybody?

 		Got my invite yesterday finally:
Quote:
A house has opened, and you are next in line! You are in a musty room, standing on concrete. In front of you is a heavy door. To your left is an old, dusty chair. To your right is a kitchen table large enough for four, with no chairs. On the right wall are a sink and one cabinet. On the back wall are a gas oven and two faded spots where pictures used to hang. On the left wall are a twin-sized bed, a nightstand with a burnt-out candle, and a wooden dresser.
You notice that some numbers are carved into the heavy door.

01010111 01100101 01101100 01100011 01101111 01101101 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01010100 01110010 01100001 01101110 01110011 01101001 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110 00100000 01010110 01101001 01101100 01101100 01100001 01100111 01100101 00100001 00100000 01010100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100001 01100010 01100001 01101110 01100100 01101111 01101110 01100101 01100100 00100000 01000111 01110010 01101111 01110101 01101110 01100100 01110011 01101011 01100101 01100101 01110000 01100101 01110010 00100111 01110011 00100000 01001000 01101111 01110101 01110011 01100101 00101110 00100000 01011001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01100001 00100000 01110000 01110101 01110010 01110000 01101111 01110011 01100101 00100000 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00111011 00100000 01110100 01110010 01111001 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100110 01101001 01100111 01110101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01101111 01110101 01110100 00100000 01110111 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01101001 01110100 00100000 01101001 01110011 00101110 00100000 01010100 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100111 01101000 01101111 01110011 01110100 01110011 00101100 00100000 01110011 01101111 00100000 01110011 01110100 01100001 01111001 00100000 01101111 01101110 00100000 01100111 01110101 01100001 01110010 01100100 00101110 00100000 01001001 01100110 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110011 01100101 01100101 00100000 01101111 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110010 00100000 01110100 01110010 01100001 01110110 01100101 01101100 01100101 01110010 01110011 00100000 01100001 01101100 01101111 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110111 01100001 01111001 00101100 00100000 01100010 01100101 00100000 01110011 01110101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01110011 01100001 01111001 00100000 01101000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00100001 00100000 01000001 01101110 01111001 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001 01101110 01100111 01100101 01110011 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01101101 01100001 01101011 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 01110111 01101110 00100000 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01110000 01100101 01110010 01101101 01100001 01101110 01100101 01101110 01110100 00100000 01110101 01101110 01110100 01101001 01101100 00100000 01110011 01101111 01101101 01100101 01101111 01101110 01100101 00100000 01100101 01101100 01110011 01100101 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001 01101110 01100111 01100101 01110011 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01101101 00101100 00100000 01110011 01101111 00100000 01110000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110011 01100101 00100000 01100010 01100101 00100000 01100011 01101111 01101110 01110011 01101001 01100100 01100101 01110010 01100001 01110100 01100101 00101110 00101110 00101110 00100000 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01100011 01100001 01110010 01100101 01100110 01110101 01101100 00101110


So what needs done in the groundskeeper shack?

Didn't get to take my turn yesterday unfortunately because I was stuck in a motel because I was en route from Toledo to WV and the roads were terrible so we had to stop.

Thank you Uber... Any chance you'd inform us all of which tool you used for that? lol

Okay everyone above is a message from the Gov! My turn for Xmas eve.

Quote:
I turn to the ghost and say "Oh, of course I will teach the dancers my routine for the coming end of year party; it'd be an honor!" I take the note from the thin Ghost and read it out aloud, passing it on to the other travelers and explaining the Governor will allow some extra turns for up to three turns either prior to, or after the festive holidays.

I then turn back to the ghost, awaiting the return of the archeologist and I say "I'd like to take this opportunity to wish yourself, the other ghosts and travelers here in Transition Village and of course, the Governor; a very Merry Christmas!"

 		I looked under the wardrobe:

Quote:
You get down on your hands and knees and look under the wooden dresser. It is dark, and you need to reach under with your arm for what might be there.

Almost right away, you find two items. You pull them closer to the light to take a better look.

The two items are one life bead and a packet of dog treats. A note is attached to the treats. It reads, "Whoever finds these treats may have them on one condition: send The Governor an example of a good dog house. Be sure to put the dog's name at the top! If you don't know the dog of Transition Village, take a look around to see if you can find his name. Post the picture of the dog house in a public place, where The Governor will be watching from his computer. Thank you."

You may take only one item per turn.


gonna take the doggy treats. *reads back for the dogs name*

Not much, but i've got limited resources right now.

Sorry for disappearing on you guys...Here's my turn for today:

Turning to my fellow traveller who is no longer fading out of existence, I ask, "Hey, where's the scroll? I need you to give it and the whip to me, I've got to get down this well in a hurry."

In a large mansion at the other end of town, The Governor looks over your work and smiles. "This would be a perfect dog house for Old Justin," he says. With a wave of his hand, two ghosts arrive at his side. "Take this picture and replicate it somewhere within the village for Old Justin," The Governor tells the ghosts. They nod and vanish.

You are kneeling down by the wooden dresser. There is a packet of dog treats in your pocket.

(the Governor has resumed activity in Transition Village, after a brief pause requested by the majority of the travelers – who, he assumed, would not like to find their in-boxes flooded during holiday activities)

You open it up and smell dust and decay. The dresser is rotting. Inside, you find a heavy ring of keys and a black box that is locked.

 		TV's reply to my turn for today:

You ask your fellow traveler for the scroll and the whip, but he seems distracted again. Not wanting to waste time, you snatch the scroll from him and reach for the whip, but Hesor whinnies and kicks you with his tiny horse legs. You pull back and choose to leave the whip with the other traveler.
Now you begin your descent into the well. It is a long trip down – you need to be very careful with the rocks, as they are slippery and some are a bit loose.
Suddenly, there's a voice at your side. In the darkness, you can't make out who is talking, but the voice sounds menacing.
"Give me the scroll."
You grip it tighter and try to ignore the voice as you climb down.
"Give me the scroll, and I'll give you riches beyond compare."
Trying to steady yourself on a shaky rock, you feel around for another place to step on your way down.
This time the voice is much angrier. "Give me the scroll, or I'll knock you down to the bottom right now."
You are halfway down the tunnel.


Seems you are going to have to climb down the well with me Leyton, now I just have to figure out how to get to the bottom without falling because of the ghost... Confused

You ask the boy where he last saw his bucket and shovel. He responds, "I leave them lying around in various places. Can't really remember for sure, but I think another traveler is out in the village right now looking for them for me! I should be able to get them soon. In fact, if you can tell me where she is, I can go outside to meet her – for just a moment. Then I'll have my toys back!"

Suddenly, another ghost appears next to the dresser drawer, where the boy has been sitting. This is an adult ghost, and she looks stern. "It's time to come home for your nap," she informs the little boy.

He protests, "No, mom! I'm just about to get my toys back! Please let me stay up just a little longer with my friends.

Now the mother ghost considers you. "I'm not sure I'm altogether comfortable letting my child stay up through naptime with a complete stranger. However, if The Governor gives his approval, I will let you continue playing together. You'll have to either tell him goodbye, or send post something in a public place that The Governor will be able to see from his computer machine, showing the world that you are an upstanding citizen who can be trusted."

The stern mother ghost folds her arms over her chest and stares you down. The little boy looks up at you hopefully.



I guess I'm supposed to say that I'm a trust-worthy person??

I am at the well with OJ, for whomever was asked where the traveler looking for the bucket and shovel is.

You pick up the ring of keys, which make a great deal of noise as they bang against the sides of the dresser and the black box. You shuffle through them, looking for one that might stand out or unlock the black box.
You count 3 keys, but all of them look the same. They are old and made from heavy, rusted metal.
You try to lift the black box, but find that it is stuck to the wood of the dresser. You try to force it up, but it won't budge. It has a keyhole on its left side.
You hear a voice behind you, but turn around a find no one there.
"Who is it who must disturb the contents of this drawer so often? I demand an answer. Only the cleverest of travelers may be permitted to look inside, so says The Governor. I will test you."
There is a long silence as you await your test.
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
REMINDER: Transition Village will accept turns for Saturday but will not answer until the following Monday.


So...ideas?
