Day 0: The arrival of the invitees Everyone had gotten the invite, and everyone was determined to go. A cat castle, that was a term the invitees had never heard of, but it existed. The family Longo has owned an empty castle for ages. A small family of 3 never needed that much space. Until Cathleen, a big cat lover, suggested that they start a Cat Cafe, but in the castle! Cat Castle Longo, it said on the big arch in front of the castle. Not to be missed, so obnoxious. As soon as the invitees set foot on the castle grounds, they could see the first few cats. The cats were darting around on the grass. "Welcome one and all to Cat Castle Longo! The greatest place on earth! That is, if you love cats To mourn my beloved mother, Cathleen Longo, we will fullfill her last wish of inviting her friends to Cat Castle Longo. This is a happy occasion, just as my mother would've wanted!" @Alice Howlter happily greeted her guests. She had a cat laying on her shoulder, she was purring, obviously content with where he was positioned. Her bright orange eyes looked at everyone, curious. "This is Jacky." Cathleen explained. "She likes sitting on people's shoulders." As she opened the door and led the guests to the main hall, another cat rushed past her, on his way inside. He had a little helmet on his head, it seemed. "Oh, and this is @BartTheBart. At least, that's what he calls himself. A friend of ours, Bartilus von Bart, had sold us an invention, the Catastrophically Purrfect Translation Collar™️, used to translate whatever cats are saying to human language. He's our only cat that has the device currently, and he's a handful. But if you ever want to talk to a cat, he's your cat!" (edited)

Cathleen led the guests around, from the main hall to the actual cafe. After a great introduction to the castle, she stopped in front of a big door. "This is the Cat Room. Here, the cats rest. Only one person at the time can be here. Now, have a look around on your own, and enjoy your stay in Cat Castle Longo! I'll be in the cafe if you need me." She left the group and made her way to the cafe, stopping at least 5 times to pet a cat before she had even left the room. @Invitee (edited)

Night 1: Cats, cats, but they're all sleeping and the rooms are cat-proofed The guests had lots of time to walk around and explore the castle. They could also find many, many cats there. The hours passed by, and the guests talked, had fun and, of course, pet a lot of cats. @BartTheBart had even gone to raid some villages cough garden gnomes cough. The news of a stray cat living in the cat room had also reached the guests. This stray cat, Uno, had been found by the late Mrs. Longo, and she took it in and cared for it as if it was her own cat. The guests had been led to their room, where Cathleen explained some things about cats, and how they were similar to the guests' personalities. The guests could also find some chocolates in their room. Human Chocolates, not cat candies. The rooms were cat-proof after all, no cat could come in without human help. Thumbs, y'know. It had been dark for some time, but now that the moon was higher up in the sky, the guests slowly went to bed, although some stayed up to talk a bit and to pet some cats. @Invitee

Day 1 | Oh gosh that are actually cat scratches The morning was cold in the castle. Slowly but surely, all the guests made their way out of their rooms and into the breakfast hall. Well, not all the guests. @Wyatt was missing from the breakfast table. And when he didn't arrive after some time, the guests started looking for him. @Dennis noticed it first. As they reached his room, the door was open, with cat scratches around the doorknob. He slowly pushed open the door, and saw what he would have never expected. @Wyatt lay on his bed, dead. Surrounded by cat hairs and blood. It seemed like a small horde of cats had attacked him in his sleep, and had thus killed him. "What is going on here?" Asked @Alice Howlter. She looked upon the corpse of @Wyatt. "Oh golly gosh darnit. What has happened here?" Before anyone could answer, she called for some servants and the body was removed in short time. "Don't you all worry about a thing! I'm certain that none of my cats would've ever done such a thing. I think @BartTheBart was right, we really do have an intruder in the castle! But that's not for you guys to worry about, just worry about eating breakfast! I had so many things planned!" She softly pushed the guests out of the hallway, back to the breakfast hall. "Sorry for that unfortunate event. I had planned that someone would be the @Biggest Cat Lover, and have access to the cat room indefinitely, but I think I also need to send someone home, this is really confusing for me and for everyone else. Uh, enjoy your breakfast, have a nice day." @Alice Howlter finished her sentences quickly and left the breakfast hall as soon as possible. What was going on... @Invitee

Night 2 | You must leave the castle... Immediately! The day went on as normal. The guests had a great time in the castle, although the death of @Wyatt was still in their minds. And then there was the curious case of @Alice Howlter being really silent. She hid away in her room, asked to not be disturbed. What could this all mean? The night fell, it was dark on the castle grounds. The moon was bright, and the castle became colder. @Alice Howlter had gathered everyone in a big room with a heater. "Dear guests, this is the moment you've been waiting for. You have all voted for who would become the @Biggest Cat Lover. And now it is clear, @PsychoBelp is definitely the @Biggest Cat Lover." Her voice was happy, but her eyes were cold and empty, staring at @Jayanna. "And now, the reveal of who will be sent away into the darkness, to never return to my property ever again!" She looked around the circle of guests around her. "You, @Jayanna, will have to leave. Now. My servants have packed your bags. Leave my property!" Hurriedly, @Jayanna left the room and some servants helped her with her luggage. The servants stood there, waiting for her to leave the castle. As soon as she and the servant that carried her luggage set foot outside, the door closed behind them. A few seconds later, all the guests heard a deafeaning gunshot, and a few minutes later, all the servants came back into the room. Some had some mysterious red stains on their hands, and dirt on their clothes. "I now advise you to go to your rooms and sleep. Tomorrow is another day, with more cats." @Alice Howlter smiled, she looked scary, barely any light hit her face, as if she was one with the shadows. She turned her head and left the room. @Invitee

Early Night 2 | Music from the halls As the guests settled down in their rooms, they could hear someone playing music in the cafe. A Bard, it seemed. This Bard had just recieved the news that someone was aiming their bow at them, meaning that if they were to die, they would take the Bard with them. This Fletcher's Customer, as it was named, seemingly had no mercy. "Please stop playing music and go to sleep." the guests could hear @Alice Howlter say before the music stopped. @Invitee

Day 2 | The return of the @Lord of Galaxy As the @Invitees arose from their slumber, they heard a sinister laugh coming from a room... @cryptidjay's room! And inside, they found a sight that shattered even @BartTheBart's nerves of steel. He managed to maintain his composure just enough to then scream out towards the only cat who was inside the room from before - @Lord of Galaxy, his muscular form dripping with blood, looming over the pitiful corpse of @cryptidjay, mutilated beyond recognition. Amidst all the retching noises, @BartTheBart managed to shout out, "SLAY THIS BEAST!", but @Lord of Galaxy just kept laughing. When he finally stopped, he spoke but four words, before vanishing in a puff of smoke: "He was already dead". And with this began the accusations, with some believing that the beast was saying the truth, and the others thinking there was no other culprit. Nonetheless, one thing was clear - someone had to die for this. Knowing that they could never stand a chance at slaying the beast, they decided to lynch a fellow invitee. Despite the gruesome scene, @Mjnstag's eyes did not miss a small contraption - a mechanical hand adorned with it's own pair of googly, mechanical eyes, and immediately he broke down, crying, "My friend! Who did this!" The @Biggest Cat Lover also decided that they must now decide on who is the @Smartest Cat, and how better to do it than to hold another election? Of course, his apparent lack of reaction to this terrible crime scene and his cool demeanour as he announce this creeped out the others, but they shrugged it off as part of his cold personality.

Night 3 | The curious case of the cat castle @Alice Howlter hasn't been seen all day. Some said she locked herself in her room, mourning the loss of of her guests. But she was not in her room. What she was doing, nobody knew, but she hid herself in the gardens and had locked the door to the gardens. What was she doing? Because she was not here, I had to take over her daily announcements. Dammit, Cathleen. So apparently, a lynch poll was held? What's going on in the castle? The 'winner' of the lynch poll was none other than @Chopper2112! He won a free 'lynch'. Good for him. What he were to do with it, nobody knew, as soon as he won the lynch, he left the castle. Followed by servants with shotguns, that is. He was dead a few moments after he left the castle. Poor, poor him. The other guests were shocked! But to lighten the mood, the results of the @Smartest Cat poll were revealed. Apparently, @BartTheBart won that poll. You wouldn't expect anyone else to be the @Smartest Cat, he's the only talking cat in the castle. Such a great kitty- Suddenly, the castle shook as if struck by an earthquake. @BartTheBart, dancing and hopping around because he as just announced as @Smartest Cat, fell over, but it did nothing but confuse him. Cat falling over happens a lot What's going on? What the hell is Cathleen doing in the gardens? I'm gonna go check it out. @Invitee

cryptidjay 01-Feb-20 10:19 PM

Can't believe Cathy would abandon you all in the hour of need and leave a ghost to do all the work.

venomousbird 01-Feb-20 10:20 PM

I can't believe it either... Why is Cathy being like this?

cryptidjay 01-Feb-20 10:21 PM

Like slightly crazy mother like slightly crazy daughter I guess.

venomousbird 01-Feb-20 10:23 PM

It seems that way... I wonder what she had been doing in the gardens

Lord of Galaxy 02-Feb-20 12:07 PM

Day 3 | The Calm Before the Storm Another night had passed, and the @Invitees were expecting more among their numbers to have been murdered in the night... And yet, everyone was alive. But how could this be? Was this merely a ruse? Was the murdered biding his time, waiting to strike again once the alarm has died down? They couldn't be certain, but they decided to lynch someone just in case. The @Biggest Cat Lover also decided that they needed a @Protector of Cats, to ensure that innocent cats are not accidentally lynched in the night. Just as they were getting over with the formalities for setting up an official poll, the castle shook again! This was no earthquake for sure. They needed answers now! @BartTheBart was sure that this was exactly what happened yesterday, but no one believed his excuse for falling over.

Alice Howlter 02-Feb-20 12:08 PM

Oh, don't worry about the earthquake, Cathleen Longo's Cat Castle will soon be ready for departure!

Alice Howlter 02-Feb-20 12:23 PM

Early Day 3 | Can y'all just quiet down? "Stop that damned music!" yelled @Alice Howlter. The Bard had started playing again, knowing he had been targeted by a Fletcher's Customer once again. He stopped playing, apologizing profusely to @Alice Howlter. Now the @Invitees couldn't enjoy the nice pling-plonging music

Alice Howlter 02-Feb-20 10:14 PM

Night 4 | Cathleen Longo's Moving Cat Castle. "Ready for take-off!" yelled @VoidMist from #the-cat-room. @Alice Howlter rushed in the room and nodded. "My mother's legacy, the cat castle... Ready." She pushed a button. The castle started rumbling. Like serveral earthquakes struck the castle, everything was shaking. All the @Invitees except @McTsts rushed to the windows to see what was going on. @McTsts rushed to the gardens instead, a fatal mistake, but maybe he had planned it all along. The Cat Castle was no longer on the ground. Instead, they were high up in the air. What seemed like mechanic paws were carrying the castle. It seemed like a cat was waking up, but the cat was the castle... A Mecha-Cat, with a castle on his back. "My mother was a genius! She only wanted safety for the cats. So for when the cats are in danger, she made a Mecha-Cat to carry the castle and the cats to safety. A genius plan." @Alice Howlter yelled at the guests. @McTsts didn't hear it, he was in the gardens. He had opened the door and it slammed shut behind him, almost hitting a cat, but @Mjnstag could grab the cat before the cat was hurt. But @McTsts was locked out. The earth in the gardens was crumbling off, slowly but surely the garden got smaller and smaller. @McTsts gripped the doorhandle while the last bit of ground fell from under his feet. After some time, he just couldn't hold it anymore and fell down to the ground with a magnificent SPLAT, dead. "Oh, we didn't need him anyway." @BartTheBart said. Everyone nodded in agreement. "And because @Mjnstag had saved this poor cat, I will call him @Protector of Cats!" @Alice Howlter yelled: "Now don't you guys worry. In a few minutes, the castle will be more stable. It will feel as if the castle was still on the ground. And now... ON TO SAFETY!"

Early Night 4 A soft melody sounded through the castle. But instead of being mad, @Alice Howlter walked up to the bard and stayed to listen for a little while. But then a knock on the door, and @Alice Howlter had to leave. A Hooker had come to the bard, and @Alice Howlter didn't want to be in the room anymore. @Invitee

Alice Howlter 02-Feb-20 11:56 PM

Midnight 4 | Pajama party The music continued through the night. It became significantly louder when yet another Hooker visited the bard. But not even the music could hide the other sounds in the room... @Invitee

Alice Howlter 03-Feb-20 12:13 PM

Day 5 | I don't have time for storytime Guys I'm at my internship Nobody died... There's just a lynch poll. Go vote @Invitee

cryptidjay 03-Feb-20 01:52 PM

Day 5 | What is going on? Once again, the @Invitees woke up ready to find a trail of blood leading to another unfortunate victim's body.... yet none was to be found. Had the evil truly been defeated? However, an issue of some concern was the location of @Alice Howlter - mostly the fact that nobody knew it. And without her, there was noone to shut off the Mecha-Cat. "Welp," said @PsychoBelp, "let's just lynch someone anyway." @Invitee

Game End All day the other @Invitees had been calling for the removal of their king, despite the recent lack of deaths. However, when the time came for him to be 'excused', it turned out that no further action was needed. As soon as @Alice Howlter gave the order, Arakos' mechanical hand-turned-cat toy practically flew across the room and attached itself to @Dennis' throat with a vice-like grip. "I knew that would come in useful somehow," muttered @Mjnstag. Just as he said that, a rumble shook through the Cat Castle. It seemed the Mecha-Cat had reached its destination - the outskirts of a small town. It seemed the death party from hell was finally over. In the excitement of their survival, none of the remaining guests noticed @Lord of Galaxy sneaking off through the door.... Townsfolk win! @Invitees
