 		love that pic robbie xD



Quote:

I shiver as this feeling goes right through me.
And as I'm a very unbrave person, I rush to the door, open it and as soon I'm out of the room, I slam the door behind me.
Whew..
Grand Ballroom.. Mh, I don't think, I'll find it in the basement.
"Hey, it's the Queen, somebody here to tell me, where that Ballroom is, hu?"
I restrain my laughter, there is no "somebody" who could answer that stupid question.


Finding something very creepy, you dash out of the laundry room and slam the door behind you.
Now you begin to wonder where the Grand Ballroom is, exactly, and how you can get there. Alone in the hallway, you call out, "Hey, it's the Queen, somebody here to tell me, where that Ballroom is, hu?"
It seems ridiculous to shout to no one, but you don't know what else to try. Suddenly, your throat tightens. It actually hurts. You cough, but that doesn't help. If only there were something to drink.
A voice says to you from somewhere nearby, unseen, "Please do not yell in the mansion. You will now be delivered to your location."
The air changes around you, as you spin and feel yourself being lifted away. Your clothes are falling off and instantly being replaced by something cleaner, crisper, newer…
You land in a golden ballroom, standing right in the middle of the dance floor. Across the room, on the left wall, is a bar with a bartender and one traveler with a drink in his hand.
Next to you on the dance floor is a man in a tuxedo with a light, blue vest, just like the suit you drew for the laundress! He wears a sparkling crown on his head.
You look down at your clothes and see that you are wearing the pink dress you designed! It feels wonderful and looks amazing.
However, your throat feels terrible. The man gestures for a dance, but you grab your throat and shake your head. "Thirsty," you cough.

The Governor appreciates your attention to the news.


After some minutes of coughing I raise my hand. "Water please..cough"
I run over to the traveler with the drink, grab his glas and without any further waiting I let all of that stuff flow down my throat.
Whew, much better.
I put my dress and the crown back in order, smiling from one ear to another and walk back to that charming gentleman, graceful as a queen can be.
"Shall we dance?"

 		my latest response
Well this is a wrench in my finely tuned gears, but If he is going to be so distracted my my blood I should bolt while i have a chance, but I wonder how long he will be distracted by the blood ive already spilled... welll if he is going to be busy lapping up my blood I would very much like to leave now out the door the young lady left thru, as silently as possible, out into what ever room or hallway it maybe, preferably one Vampire free at the moment..I dont really have time to check before hand so, ill just close the door silently and get near the wall next to it.

Though now im going to have to wonder what to do about this blood, am I ok, or am i leaving a trail...last thing i need is a vampire stalker.. Ill need to take a quick scan of what lays beyond that door, no reason to let my skills slip just cus i got a lil cut....Boy being stealty sure is tough, Im sure glad Old Snake taught me so well..

 		Hey iSnowblind, Sorry you weren't to see those bottles because I put them away.
Looks like in the delay of us receiving our e-mails our game masters did not really look at my action s behind the bar for the previous day. I did send them an e-mail to let them know and I guess we will have to see what they do.

BTW Great job on the pics

negativeview Excellent job with the Wiki and the MAP OF THE MANSiON. Only one note: In the governor's bedroom, the lock on the cabinet is shaped like a bottle.

Here was my move yesterday.
Quote:
Reacting to my new visitor. I quickly stash the two bottles of spirits separately under the bar next to the book.
I quickly grab the bottle opener and spin it in my fingers and reply with an nervous smile to the new traveler. "Maybe. You have a particular poison in mind?"


TV's response:
Quote:
Your guest at the bar only specifies that he would like a non-alcoholic drink, and you begin searching for something. There isn't much here; most of the bottles are clearly marked as liquor. There is one bottle that doesn't have the name of a beverage you recognize, however: The Fishspear. Sure, that sounds appetizing.

You pour a glass of The Fishspear and hand it to the traveler.

Just then, there is a wooshing sound, and you look at the dance floor. A man has appeared, wearing a snazzy tuxedo with a light blue vest, and a sparkling, garnet and gold crown on his head. He waits, looking a little confused.

Then there is a second wooshing sound, and a woman appears. She is in an elegant pink dress with a fluffy feather boa, and she, too, wears a glistening crown of gold and pink on her head.

The woman coughs a little and clutches her throat. Perhaps you should run over to the dance floor to see whether she could use a drink.




The Governor appreciates your attention to the news.



P.S. I submitted my application to be promoted to the Governor's assistant and give up my dusting job.
Wish me luck! Locky! Locky! Locky!

Thanks! And you can edit any page that you find fault with. I went ahead and edited the page for the governors bedroom, but don't be shy editing the wiki if you find anything else.

Good luck! Only time will tell if you ratting out the two ghosts was the correct move. Regardless of the ultimate morality, it should put you in the Governors good graces.

Glad you liked it! Too bad I already went to get you a drink... Sad
Oh well, I'll sweep you off your feet yet, it will just take a day longer. Wink

It just occured to me my crown is garnet and gold, the colors of my dear alma mater, FSU.

I love these PM's... Cool

 		You are dripping a little blood, so you look for something on your way out of the room that might be able to stop the flow. There is a small wash rag on the floor, and you sneak toward the door, pick it up, and slip outside while the vampire is taking a second dip into the leftovers of your blood.

You are in a hallway. There are three doors to your right and two doors to your left. There is a stairway leading down in front of you.

Quote:
You watch the king for several seconds, trying to determine what he's going to do. It looks as though he will speak the bolded word any moment.

Then you call down to your little friend to ask what her letter says.

There is no answer.

You ask again.

Nothing.

Now you kneel down to see if she's feeling alright – but she is gone! Your friend is missing!

Just then, Kyle walks away with his flowerpot, and the king mutters something aloud, and he disappears.

You are standing in front of the town church.


The Governor appreciates your attention to the news.



Uh oh. Off on my own.

My reply:
Quote:
"Well, this is interesting..." I say aloud, apparently to no one but myself. "You could even say it's dead out here! A-ha-ha!"

I am answered only by a gently blowing wind.

"I guess that makes me the life of the town! Ha!"

Silence.

"Ha-ha...ha...okay. Ahem."

With the bad puns out of the way, I look around, suddenly in the middle of a very quiet village, next to an old church. The doors are open, the only thing of note a beautifully carved set of handles and a mail slot.

All points thus far have appeared to lead to this location...probably the best place I can possibly look around.

I decide to enter the church, standing at the back of a pew, looking at the intricately detailed windows. I wonder what else is in here...

 		wow, from queen to dirt..

Quote:

The King looks at you with his mouth agape. His expression tells you that you are radiant, and he can't take his gaze off of your eyes.
First things first.
You dash over to the other traveler and drink his cup before he can stop you. It tastes fabulous, and it quenches your thirst immediately.
Now you can dance.
You walk back to the King and give him a curtsey. "Shall we dance?"
But he is looking at you very strangely. In fact, you feel a bit strange.
He clears his throat and nods, then takes you in his arms.
Music plays.
The dress flows around your feet as you glide across the floor. This is a wonderful dance.
Then the King stumbles, and you realize something: he has reached into his pocket and is paying attention to his own hand more than the dance. You look – is that a piece of dirt he's looking at? But you're so much prettier than that thing!
And suddenly, you are on the dance floor, microscopic, covered in a heap of clothes.
You are a spec of dirt.


... ^^

 		Just when you think things are settled down and we can start to party.

I never re poured the drink.

Quote:
What? A bar without juices? How the hell is anyone supposed to make a mixed drink. So much for the book. Er... Fishspear? Now what is going on? This place is starting to get wacky on the dance floor. I pour a shot for my traveler. "Ah... Hear you go buddy. No guarantees. I have no clue what it is. Stay away from behind the bar." I then go to the woman on the dance floor to see if she is ok, taking the bottle of Fishspear with me.


TV:
Quote:
You warn the traveler to stay away from the bar, as he was clearly a little too curious. They were definitely stashed away next to the book, and yet he managed to see them anyway.

Just as you are about to bring the bottle of The Fishspear to the Queen, the King calls out for you to make her a drink. But even he is not prepared for her to take the lead. She dashes over to the traveler at your bar and drinks his cup of The Fishspear before anyone can stop her. With a great smile, she lets out a breath and goes back to the dance floor.

The two begin their dance as music begins to play, and you and the traveler look on.

From under the bar, you hear a clinking. One of the bottles has tipped over. It is one of the spirits trying to break the glass. You pick the bottle up and look at it.

"Please," a tiny voice cries from inside. "Help us."

The music stops, and you look up. Halfway through the song, the Queen has stopped in her place and is staring at the King. He looks surprised.

The next thing you know, she has slipped out of his hands and disappeared altogether!

Now he stands alone on the dance floor with a heap of clothes in front of him.

 		Wow, I wish I were in the ballroom. That's where all the fun is, it seems. Me? I'm in the servants quarters, apparently.

Quote:
Hmm. So far I am still alive. That's a good sign anyway. I'm pretty sure that I'll get hungry again all too soon if I don't do something quick. First thing is first -- do I have anything to trade to Governor for his assistance? I tried to grab the bat before my leap of faith, but in all the excitement I seemingly have not noticed the small bat in my hands or the lack thereof.

My first though is to not be caught unprepared again. I suddenly have the urge to make a dashing cape out of a sheet from the laundry, but I chide myself for the impracticality that would be, as fun as it seems.

Instead I throw open the cabinet and grab what seems to be the most useful thing in it -- which sadly was nothing more than soap. I take it anyway. I had no idea that I would be facing a vampire. For all I know I could be facing a dirt monster at some point. Now "armed," I throw open the closest door and begin my ultimate strategy.

"Hello! I'm looking for the Governor! Can anyone hear me?"


Quote:
You entertain the idea of embracing your vampire status with a nifty cape made out of sheets, but then abandon that plan and choose to grab some soap instead.

Honestly, it can't be a bad plan to carry soap – ever.

After another lick or two of the droplets of blood (thank goodness that little, round bat isn't with you to steal all the food), you will be ready.

Relatively fed and armed with cleanliness, you throw open the first door you can reach and announce your wish.

"Hello! I'm looking for the Governor! Can anyone hear me?"

A very confused-looking ghost stands up from the bed and wipes his eyes. He is a young man, and he is dressed as a driver.

"Uh, I can hear you," he says. "You need the Governor? He's kind of hard to find. What do you need?"


This is far too simple. Something bad is going to happen to me.

ETA: I just realized that it was confirmed that I don't have the bat. I have nothing to trade the governor if he doesn't want to save me. Drat! Even my original plan was assuming that he COULD save me.

I'll save you!

T.V.'s reply to my last turn:
Quote:
After a surprise conversation with the priestess, you decide to safely stow her in your breast pocket. This allows you to gaze a bit longer upon the beautiful Queen, who is choking by your side.

You call out to the bartender to make a drink for your Queen, but she takes matters into her own hands; she dashes over to the other traveler and drinks his cup before he can stop her. With a great smile, she lets out a breath and comes back to you.
When she reaches the dance floor, she gives you a royal curtsey. "Shall we dance?"

But something is wrong. For a split second, you could swear she looks exactly like you. It's as if you're staring into a mirror. Then she's herself again.

You clear your throat and nod, then you take her in your arms.
Music plays. The Queen's dress flows around your feet as you glide across the floor. This is a wonderful dance. But your breast pocket flutters agitatedly, and you slip a hand away from the Queen as you spin her around. You pull the priestess out.

There is something wrong, Professor.

You look at her, silently wondering what that might be.

I do not feel that she is an average Queen. Something has happened.

Uh-oh. The Queen has noticed you staring at the priestess, and she looks a bit angry. The next thing you know, she has slipped out of your hands and disappeared altogether! Before you, on the dance floor, are a heap of clothes and a spec of dirt.Thank goodness I'm an archeologist and used to carrying around bags of dirt...


My reply:
Quote:
"Oh you've got to be kidding me!", I cry out frustrated and upset. Not only have I been denied a dance with my beautiful festival Queen, but I also find myself responsible for yet another speck of dirt.

"Unbelievable...", I mutter to myself as I bend down and pick up what I'm sure is milady from the pile of elegant garments she left behind her.

Quickly Professor, there isn't much time! The Priestess chirps in my mind.

Looking up I see the bartender and the other villager staring at me in shock. I feel I have precious seconds to reverse whatever ill affect the drink had on her highness. Quickly I start towards the bartender.

"The drink! What was it! What did you give her!?!"

 		Right, like it is the bar tenders fault. Rolling Eyes

I never served her the drink. She stole it from another traveler. It was his drink and I am not a bartender.

I'm not upset even though this sounds like it. I actually find all of this interesting.

She was really thirsty. Considering that she's now 100% dehydrated, I'd say that she was REALLY thirsty!
