At the baseball field,
Charlie Brown, townie spokesman, was once again trying to figure out what was happening. “Hey everyone, listen up! I have something to say!”
Vote Nickmitch
The gang was once again, as before, utterly confused, but they stood silently and waited for him to continue.
“Last night didn’t fare so well, but you know what they say, try, try again. Let’s vote.”
Everyone voted, and
the vote turned out to be for Oohhboy. “Well, it’s no wonder Oohhboy hasn’t done anything. He’s a possibly anthropomorphic pitching mound. I won’t feel guilty about this one,” Charlie Brown said, and all the children began kicking the mound, scattering the dirt all over the infield.
Suddenly, however, one of the children spoke up. “Look, I've found something in the dirt!" "OMG IS IT A
BOMB!?!" screamed a petrified townie. "No, it's a message written in the dirt of the mound! It must be from Oohhboy!” Everyone gathered around. “I, the catatonic pitching mound who didn’t even bother to play, aka
Oohhboy, was a regular townie. You jerks.”
Then it tried to trip several of its attackers, but was unsuccessful as it had been spread too thin. It cried a single muddy tear of apathetic innocence, then sullenly waited for the groundskeeper to come and sweep it back into a mound later in the week.
“Good grief,” sighed Charlie Brown as a little fuzzy black cloud appeared above the head of the townies’ hapless leader.
--------------------------------------------
Later that night! Having successfully done away with
Gylldas, aka Rover, another innocent regular townie earlier, Linus and Sally walked together towards the pumpkin patch.
Sally sidled up next to her little man, and said, "Do you
really think the Great Pumpkin will come?"
"Sally," said Linus, "tonight the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch... he flies through the air and brings terror and pain to all the unbelievers of the world!"
"THAT'S a great story," Sally said in disbelief.
"You don't believe in the Great Pumpkin? I thought little girls always believed everything that was told to them! Well, it doesn't matter. Just let me finish my little speech here, and you'll see!" Linus grinned evilly, and set about reciting his dark incantation.
As he read, the mist swelled in the pumpkin patch. An owl hooted. Somewhere, a cow mooed! Sally brushed the hearts out of her eyes for a minute, and began to suspect that something truly evil was afoot. It didn't matter at this point - her course was set. She would stay with Linus.
"NOW!" Linus commanded, finishing his ominous verse, "GREAT PUMPKIN, YOU WILL RISE! RISE!
RISE!!!!!!"*pop*
Suddenly, a ghostly, semi-transparent blue figure materialized before them. He looked like an adult, and he honked when he talked. Sally shuddered, and hid behind Linus, carefully peeking around him to see.
"Are you the Great Pumpkin?" Linus called, blue fire glinting in his eyes. "I didn't think you'd look so much like those ghosts at the end of the movie, Return of the Jedi."
"Whwwhaahwhwahwahahwhwhaahawha"
"What's that? Can you just talk normal please? It's getting annoying."
"Ahem, there, I'll just pull this tiny trombone out of my throat. Ah, that's better. Anyways, yes, it is I, the Great Pumpkin... Er,
rather, the one who WOULD have been the Great Pumpkin... You see, my name is Spak. I'm a random adult, and before this 'game' of yours even began, I was destined to be the Great Pumpkin. But I was taken out on the
very first day! Can you believe it? And by that little brat, Peppermint Patty, no less!"
Linus was dumb-founded. "Wh-wh-...
what?!?"
"I'm in my house
right now, nursing my tender behind. She kicked me, you know! Sure, I'll join your side, but I'm not coming out of my house. Sorry. I need to keep ice on this thing."
"So..." continued Linus, obviously disappointed, "what can you DO for us, then?"
"Oh, this is great," said the random adult character. "I now get to win with you, if you win!
Even if I'm dead! I don't have to do a thing! Isn't that awesome?"
Linus sat there, steaming. His eyes burned with a demonic red light, and even Sally backed away slightly. "THIS IS A COMPLETE CROCK. I'M GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE PAY FOR THIS!!!" Linus grabbed Sally's hand and they started to leave the pumpkin patch in a huff.
"Wait wait wait, sonny. Why don't you tell that Peppermint Patty that she doesn't have to feel bad anymore, either. Even though it was dumb luck, she did knock an evil fella - me, heh - out of the game.
Peppermint Patty can lose that strike she has against her for hitting an innocent on day 1."
If you thought that Linus was mad before, you don't even want to see him now. I can't even type how angry he looks. In fact, I'm going to stop right here and go hide before he finds me.
--------------------------------------
DAY 2 RESULTS:Oohhboy, a regular townie, has been voted out.
Gylldas, a regular townie, has been hit by the Mafia.
Note: It turns out Spak was actually the inevitable Great Pumpkin. He was randomly chosen before the game even began, and had he been alive today, I would've sent him a PM to "awaken" him to his new role. So, he joins the mafia, but posthumously only. This means that Peppermint Patty loses the one strike against her character, due to sheer dumb luck. Congrats, townies. I guess dumb luck is better than what you've been doing lately at least!
Oh, burn!
Seriously, the mafia hasn't lost even
one member! If the townies hope to have any chance to prevail, I think it's pretty obvious that today is do or die time.
VOTING FOR DAY 3 BEGINS NOW!
Oh, and nearly forgot: nobody
needs to vote today to survive. But you should vote, all of you! For fun!
