Werewolves Revamped - story

Day 0 | The Start of a Story "Grandpa! Grandpa! Can you tell me a story?" said the child, running into the living room. "I suppose there still is time before your mother comes to pick you up," said the boy's Grandpa, glancing at the clock. "I have a good one, but your mother probably wont be happy that I told you it. This won't be a story about heroes. It's about winning, and how far people will go to get revenge..." As the boy came closer to his Grandpa and sat in his lap, the grandpa began his story. "There once was a village nestled deep in the northern forests. This village was small, and cold, and isolated from the rest of the world. And the name of this village was Wolvespine...." @Participant

Night 1 | Once Upon a Time "The residents of Wolvespine were happy folk, or so it seemed to the few visitors who passed through. And very few visitors did pass through - the village was miles away from the other nearest settlements. Within Wolvespine, though, was one house, one family, that stood out from the others. Beneath their kind smiles lay something deeper and darker - something not quite right." @Participant

Day 1 | Not So Peaceful Anymore "One especially cold and icy morning, the residents of Wolvespine flocked around the #town_square to elect the village's first @Mayor (> 15). Or that's what they expected to be doing. On the cold, hard ground lay the body of everyone's @Favourite Daughter, lifeless. Almost immediately, rumors spread around the tiny, isolated village about who would do such an atrocious act. With one player accusing the other, it seemed that the residents had turned on each other. But were they accusing the perpetrator?" @Participant

Night 2 | Two Birds With One Stone "Of course, the rest of the village turned on our family. It had to be one of them, surely - they weren't normal, you see. There was even infighting amongst siblings and parents. But one member, the family's @Bastard Son, had no-one to defend him, because everyone just fucking hated him. Realising this weakness, the @Old-Timer (still resentful over the many cruel nicknames his grandchild had bestowed upon him) nominated him as the murderer, and the rest of the village followed suit. They dragged him to the town square, where stood the still-functional remains of 18th century gallows - but before they could string him up, he started to glow, and sprout almost angelic wings. Shocked, the citizens hurried back, all except the stunned @Old-Timer. The glowing aura grew, and grew, eventually encompassing both men - until it collapsed in, and both had disappeared! The village was so shocked, they forgot to vote for a @Mayor (> 15)! They'd have to do so tomorrow - if any of them survived.... @Participant

Day 2 | Missing Family Members "Early next morning, two people were missing at the family breakfast table. The family members split up in the mansion to look for them. Following a short search, @Grandpa Ethan was found lying peacefully in his bed, having fallen asleep and never woken up again. Having lost the most senior family member, everyone in the family was in mourning. Or was it really everyone? After much searching, the family members were shocked to find the @Australian Son thrown into a supply closet, brutally murdered." "The family swore to not let anyone know about what had happened in the mansion in the past night. They didn't want any of the village residents to accuse them as they had did yesterday. But in a tiny village, news spreads fast and before long the whole village stood in the town square, deciding who should be strung up on the gallows. The residents also needed to choose a @Mayor (<= 15) to govern the village and hopefully stop all these gruesome murders." "What the family members nor the village residents didn't notice, was that the oldest resident of the mansion, even older than @Grandpa Ethan himself, @Poltergeist the First was missing." @Participant

Night 3 | Contrasting Opinions "After the day before's forgetfulness, this time, the villagers decided they must elect a @Mayor (<= 15). Considering that @Time was an old and distinguished member of Wolvespine, perhaps the oldest after the recent deaths, he seemed an excellent choice. Yet, as soon as the votes came in, and he was announced @Mayor (<= 15), came a shout from the back of the crowd. "You can't elect him! He's a murderer!" Incised, the town rushed the stage just as he accepted the position, and he was crushed in the stampede. It seemed Wolvespine was destined to never have a mayor." @Participant

Day 3 | Silent Village "The village woke up to no new deaths. Silence hung over Wolvespine. The residents felt like they should be relieved, but they could feel that something was lingering right past the next corner. Regardless, they decided that with the absence of deaths, it was a good time to elect a @Mayor (<= 15). Surely everything would go fine this time, or?" @Participant

Night 4 | Wow, Y'all Finally Have A Mayor, Great Job "Something about the lack of deaths made the villagers even uneasier than before. Despite fierce argument and cries of ageism, on the third day, it was @Grandmother Jayanna who faced death. It seemed the town elders were hated by younger generations to an even more extreme extent than expected. Fucking boomers. However, the town finally reached a decision on mayoral matters. Would @Mother of the Family's reign be than his almost instantly killed predecessor's? Or would he face a fate horrible enough to rival even his dead ancestors?" @Participant

Day 4 | Another Death "With the first @Mayor (<= 15) in office, the village residents felt a bit more confident. Surely nothing could go wrong now, right? But as the family woke up, they noticed that the @Father of the Family was missing. Walking to the town square to report the death to the @Mayor (<= 15), they found the body lying right in front of the town hall. Unsure of what to do now, the village residents turned to the @Mayor (<= 15) for help, who promptly suggested that a @Reporter was necessary to cover all the recent incidents and get to the bottom of the deaths." @Participant

End Game | Happily Ever After? "It was approaching dusk when the @Mother of the Family called a meeting. One by one, the last dregs of Wolvespine's oldest family filed into the room. "A long time ago," he began, "my grandfather - now sadly passed away - told me a story. This story was not about heroes - this story was about villains, and how far they'll go to win. I remember every word of this story, and I wish I could tell it to all of you now. I wish you could know what drove me to this, but I can't. All I can say is that, long ago, before Wolvespine was any more than this house, its settlers did our family a great wrong. And tonight, I am going to right this wrong, once and for all." He smiled as he stood up, and it was a sharp, sharp smile. Other family members also rose, and smiled, and their smiles were almost as sharp as their teeth, more fitting of wolves than men. And people began to scream." The boy's grandfather fixed the boy with a long look. "I will not tell you what happened that night. Know that it was a night of unparalleled chaos and horror, the likes of which I hope never to see again. That day, the villains won, and none except them lived to tell the story of the final days of Wolvespine." "But Grandfather, you lived to tell me this!" Before the grandfather could reply, the boy's mother arrived, and any response was forgotten in the commotion. But as the boy left, he turned to wave goodbye - and saw his grandfather smiling, not at him, but at the rising moon. @Participant @Dead participant Wolves and Angel win!
