Werewolf: In the Dark - Day Four

Post » Fri Aug 10, 2012 12:32 am

Extract from the journal of Madeleine Nixon, local print journalist.

8th / 9th August, 2012.




It looked like Jake Rusk (wolf bite) was going to going to meet his God. However Diana (Xetirox) stepped forwards and proposed an alternative, and after much discussion it was decided that Roderick (disturbing) was probably the gunman of the previous day. Our righteous anger had dissipated somewhat following the brutal murder of Daniel, and none of us were really sure what to do. Soda (Dalek) immediately pointed at Jason (Gideon). "He's the police chief, he should do it!" Jason turned pale, retorting sharply "I serve the law, I don't subvert it." Adrian (Riverstyx) suggested that maybe the former judge Jack (Indicator) could do it, being that he's used to doling out punishments, but he too refused on principal. All the while Roderick stood staring resolutely straight ahead, with a look I found quite... disturbing. Finally Jenny (Party Poison) let out a sigh, drew her gun and shot the writer in the head, killing him instantly. He dropped to the ground with an unceremonious thud. After an endless silence, Waldo (Northwind) spoke up. "Well I can confirm that he's dead, but... How do we tell if he was evil?"

When no answers were forthcoming, we left Billy (Gorbad) to deal with the body while everyone else took a look around the ruins of the bank. Salvatore (Drop Dead) and Bear (8-Bit) counted the blast craters, estimating that at least four bombs had been concealed around the bank. Daria (Rosveen) pointed out that the bank was cleaned nightly, and that there was no way the cleaners had all been compromised; she predicted that the bombs must have been extremely carefully hidden. Ragnall (the3undon3on3) wandered around searching for scraps of clothing of other evidence, but found nothing of interest.

It didn't take long for dike (dmel) to make an interesting discovery. There was a period of about two hours of video surveillance missing from just after closing time - it simply hadn't been recorded. dike looked puzzled. "I wonder why it was out for such a long time. The shorter the gap, the less likely we would've been to notice it. Two hours is a pretty big chunk of time." Mel (slyme) called us all over to point out that the cables leading to one of the cameras had been cleanly sliced, while the other cameras covering the same area were unharmed. Perplexed, we headed down into the vault itself.

The huge steel door had been destroyed in one of the explosions, leaving a gaping hole into the vault. Inside stood a pile of gold bullion, gleaming in the torchlight, and Francis (Suffca) raised his camera almost disbelievingly. The top level of the pile was a few bars short of being a completed layer, and debris was strewn haphazardly across the room, but otherwise the vault looked relatively untouched. Jenny went to investigate an unassuming safe box in the corner of the room, confirming that the documents were indeed missing. Andrew (FloorBelow) accidentally cut himself on a jagged piece of metal in the doorway, and we decided to conclude the search for the day and head for the warmth of bed. Maybe some of us could even sleep, but fears about Roderick and our own safety made the night long and painful. Sometime during the night, it began to rain.

We awoke to find everyone in the group still alive - something of a pleasant surprise after the past few days. Our good mood was quickly soured, though, when we found three sets of footprints leading from the front door of the hall all the way around to the South Warehouse. Inside we discovered bloodstains on the floor, amidst screws, saws and other tools. I hope they were primarily for intimidation; there were no visible wounds on anyone in the crowd, but the drops of blood linger in my mind. Regardless, what had transpired was clear. Roderick had not been guilty, and now three killers walked among us. Apu (Clintosthegreat) spotted a crushed-up fragment of a note on the ground, written in the same neat handwriting as the previous day.

Later that day, we found Bob's (Gamgee) corpse. It seemed he had tragically drowned while attempting to swim to freedom through a toilet. We all agreed it was a pretty [censored] way to go.



We persevere.

Suspect List:

Spoiler


8-Bit Legend

Name: Rick "Bear" Masterson
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Physical Description: 6'8", Thick-set. Arms as big asdsd tree trunks, and a beer-gut to match. Has a mop of dark brown hair, and a large scar on his right cheek which is mostly hidden by his extremely manly beard.
Clothing: He's dressed as his job would suggest: Red flannel over-shirt, jeans, work boots, etc.
Possessions: Cigarettes, lighter, felling ax, length of rope, flask of whiskey, and a necklace made of bear claws (not the pastry).
Occupation: Lumberjack, owns the local sawmill
Personality: Though he comes off as gruff and intimidating to people he doesn't know, "Bear" has a mostly positive outlook on life. He loves living in the mountains, and seems to truly enjoy the "rugged outdoorsman" lifestyle. People from town know when he's coming, due to his voice that matches his build. He's always ready to help out when a situation arises, often being the first to raise the call. He's not a saint by any means, as all men have their demons, but most people would classify him as a good guy to have on their side. That's definitely preferable to the opposite, as he knows how to hold a grudge like no other (just ask that black bear).
History: "Bear" grew up in the mountains. He comes from a long line of hard-working mountain men. He inherited the local sawmill when his father passed. He gained his nickname when, after a black bear came into town looking for food and ended up harming a small child, he grabbed nothing but his ax and rope and took off into the woods. He came back with a bloodied visage and towing the carcass of a 425 lb black bear. He's had a mighty fine rug in front of his fireplace and a new necklace since then.

Dalek

Name: Soda Pauper
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Soda's hair is a fruitful orange and green, nearly blinding. Eyes a piercing blue, wearing little to no make up, having a natural look. Pale white skin, glittered in freckles. Some may even call her a ginger. Her hair is puffy and all over the place. Acting as an umbrella. Despite her naturally orange hair tone, the orange is like that of a highlighter, not to mention the green flecks lighting things up. Along with rather high cheek bones and very tapered features, her eyes are an almond shape, lips pointed into a natural smile. She looks like an innocent, funny haired girl but has the body of a fine woman. Typical hourglass form. Perky briasts, small waist and wide hips. She is however rather petite, her figure not to be confused with a ratchet girl's.
Clothing: Soda wears dark colors, to bring attention to her face and hair. Typically seen in a dark teal colored blouse which has frilly lace over it. It's quite form fitting and gives her an advlt look. With that, she wears short black booty shorts along with laced up netting and combat boots. She wears little accessories and looks like what city-folk would call a streetwalking h*e.
Possessions: A tube of coral colored lipstick, a compact mirror with make up powder in it to give her face that sharp and shapely look whenever she needs it, an etched 5 inch blade that can slice through pretty much anything, and lastly, a flask of whiskey to take a sip from whenever she feels she is losing her edge.
Occupation: Makes money on the side by having her way with the townsmen.
Personality: Rather short tempered and no patience for idiots. If anything, no patience for those who do not agree with her and especially no patience for those who judge her. She has a rather strong personality and can make a real impression on someone just by talking. She has a voice like razors that can pierce through to anyone, she demands to be heard. Soda also carries herself with a bit of an edgy personality, constantly teetering on the brink of insanity. Willing to take risks and even matters into her own hands. She likes to feel in control. This is because of people not taking her seriously. Because of her name and her father's history, people tend to stay away from her socially, whether it's not liking her way of life to not liking her bad blood.
History: Soda's father, Cap Pauper, spent his life in the small town of Lynchaster and had the type of disorder that made you want to kill cats. Cap kept these wants at bay and let it boil inside of him. His parents were abusive and regular drug users. Cap was hooked on everything by 14. Never really amounted to anything and just lived with his parents in their home. Once they passed, he decided to meet people. He cleaned up his life for about 3 years at the age of 30 and met his wife, Suki Harrow. They soon had their first and only child, Soda Pauper. By that time, Cap was back on drugs and regularly abused his wife. She stayed however, fearing for Soda's safety. Cap had passed and Soda was left to live alone with her mother at the age of 5. Soda compensates for her bad history and blood-reputation with the townspeople by acting out, thinking that she is better than her father. Instead it has left her emotionally scarred and unstable, with an "I don't care" mindset.

When he feels threatened, he'll do exactly what he's told to make it out of harms way and back to the loving embrace of his poker hand.
History: As a child, Jerry had an abusive father and apathetic mother. Growing up in an age of ever growing technology, he turned his focus away from his troubled family to his work with computers.

Rosveen

Name: Daria Ward
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Physical description: 5'9'', lanky, with shoulder length auburn hair and blue-grey eyes.
Clothing: Typical bank teller attire when at work. After work: trenchcoat, worn out jeans, brown turtleneck sweater, sneakers.
Possessions: Inside her satchel: smartphone, notepad and pen, wallet, compact umbrella, pack of chewing gum.
Occupation: Bank teller.
Personality: Daria is very practical and down-to-earth; she tries to be prepared for everything, believing that it's better to be safe than sorry. She's still a little shaky after her father's death, but she's dealing with it - she's more worried about her mom. While a fan of thriller movies, she's not very active herself and isn't sure how she'd react in a dangerous situation; she prefers to keep a distance, not jump into the heart action. She enjoys travelling and learning about different kinds of life, but when she returns home she wants it to be peaceful and stable. She's very forgetful.
History: Born and raised in Lynchcaster, daughter of a biology teacher and a postman. When she grew up she left to go to university. Soon after earning her bachelor's degree in accounting she received a message about her father's death, prompting her to go home and spend more time with her mother.

slyme

Name: Mel Davis
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Average height, average build. Mel is relatively fit from his rounds, but his diet and penchant for an after-hours drink (or three) masks it under a light layer of pudge. He sports brown hair worn with a side-part and a well maintained mustache.
Clothing: Navy blue harrington jacket, wool sweater, navy blue trousers, duck boots, insulated gloves, winter postal trooper cap, digital wristwatch.
Possessions: Postman's satchel, clipboard with pen and pencil, ziplock bag filled with almonds and twizzlers, hand-warmers, postal worker badge, box cutter.
Occupation: Postman
Personality: Generally professional, though he rarely exhibits any urgency in his work. In a town like Lynchcaster, hustle isn't especially required. Mel puts on a friendly face with his fellow residents, though he is reticent to open up about anything meaningful. Small talk and jokes come easily, but most interactions remain superficial, rarely moving beyond chats at the office watercooler or local bar. He feels discontent with his current station. Disillusion prevents him from taking any firm measures to rectify his situation and so he coasts through his job and life. Each year that passes makes change a less and less likely proposition.
History: Mel was born and raised in Lynchcaster. He left for college at 18, but indecision and apathy forced him to drop out after a year. He spent the next few years living paycheck to paycheck. Kitchen work, landscaping, whatever could pay the bills. He worked a brief stint in some local dive as a bouncer until he took a bottle to the side of the head, leaving him deaf in one ear. After his mother died, he inherited the family home and moved back to Lynchaster. Shortly thereafter he got a job in the post office mail-room as a clerk, and eventually found himself walking a route and making deliveries.

Possessions: A news camera, an Xmen comic book, and his father's wrist watch.
Occupation: Camera guy
Personality: Francis just goes with the flow and doesn't care about much of anything, half the time he even forgets to take the lens cap off the camera. He also has no motivation in life and is happy with his current, crappy job. Francis acts as if he's a kid still and is not the most mature advlt
History: Francis's father left his mother and him as a child which led to Francis growing up with no guidance since his mom had to work two jobs. Francis found himself reading through comics everyday and fantasizing to be a hero. He never grew up and eventually found himself at the age of 30 living at home as a camera guy for the local news station.

TeeHee:3

Clothing: A smart navy blue suit and black heels, dark tights, pearl earrings
Possessions: Journalist pass, microphone, headset, handbag containing a laptop, cell phone and mirror
Occupation: Local news reporter
Personality: Married to her job, Tricia is willing to do anything it takes to become the local daytime newsroom anchor. Ambitious to the point of developing tunnel vision; once she sets her sights on something she'll disregard everything else until she gets it. She enjoys working alone and considers friends to be assets for her to use in order to get to the top. Works about the same as normal under pressure, no better or worse than usual. In fact, she rarely shows any emotion at all.
History: Tricia was adopted by a family in Lynchcaster from Japan and hasn't left since. They gave her a traditional Japanese last name, hoping it would encourage her to embrace her ethnicity. Instead it lead to constant bullying from the other children in town which forced her to reject her Asian heritage altogether. Now a local TV news reporter, Tricia is one of the town's local "celebrities", along with the farmer that grew the county's biggest pumpkin and the man who was struck by lightning 3 times in a row.

th3undon3on3

Name: Ragnall Waterman
Age: 39
Gender: Male
Physical Description: 6' tall and built like an office worker. Short brown hair shows first signs of receding, in parallel with his dwindling fitness levels.
Clothing: Ragnall dresses in all Bland. His grey chinos perfectly match his collection of shirts, which span the colour spectrum from beige to more beige. Walking boots provide the perfect excuse for a lack of imagination.
Possessions: Wallet (containing the usual - change, some notes, business cards and a photo of his ex-wife), keys, phone, and tissues.
Occupation: Entrepreneur and Dole-Scrounge Tactician.
Personality: Ragnall is tired. Very tired. His drive for success is matched only by his complete lack of ability in any field. He stops short of being clumsy though, due to not attempting anything which poses any sort of challenge.
History: Dropped out of his business course at uni to "pursue his own business interests" - a convenient excuse to his parents for his failing results. He briefly discovered the illusion of wealth long enough to score himself a glamorous wife - who promptly turned heel when the illusion was broken, taking all he had (and most of what he didn't have) with her along the way.

Occupation: Monk
Personality: The world is a dark place, most of its problems can be solved with faith... those that can't can be solved with bullets. When threatened he will try to take the most peaceful route, if that does not work than violence will. The path of the righteous will mitigate past sins and redemption is never unattainable. Not really a social person, but he can handle his own in conversation.
History: Born into a “cursed” family, Jake has spent his entire life running away from those that wish him harm rather than fight. With a ton of money from inheritance he moved to the town to hide. His current fa?ade is that of a religious man trying to find solitude in the mountains.

Possessions: night stick, hand cuffs, 9mm hand gun, 4 spare clips, taser, wallet, cellphone
Occupation: Constable
Personality: Danny is good-natured cop with a love of American police action movies, such as Point Break and Bad Boys II. Bored with police duty in the small town, he longs to face "proper action" as he sees in the movies and takes an immediate interest in the goings ons, as he perceives the city to be much more exciting and dangerous for a police officer. Danny ultimately aspires to live his dream of participating in car chases and gunfights. He loves Hollywood police movies so much that when the situation presents itself he will wholeheartedly go guns blazing for glory and honor.
History: Danny Butterman is the son of Inspector Frank Butterman. His mother died of mysterious circumstances when he was young. Even since then he has wanted to fight crime in all it's forms.


Xetirox

Name: Diana Stanley
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Physical Description: She stands at 5’5” and has a pretty petite build. Hair is straight, chocolate-brown in color, and runs halfway down her back.
Clothing: Wears a dark hoodie with the hood usually up.
Possessions: A purse that carries money, checks, credit cards, and most of her other stuff. Said stuff includes a bottle of anti-depressants, and a netbook computer. Often carries a handgun for protection as well.
Occupation: Runs a thrift store.
Personality: On the surface, Diana often maintains a friendly and professional demeanor. In her past, she used to be pretty outspoken about her beliefs, but one rather notable experience caused her to become more withdrawn. Nowadays, she avoids discussing politics of any sort, even if she’s annoyed by the backwards viewpoints of some of the locals. Deep down, she’s actually a pretty nervous wreck, sometimes suffering nightmares from a previous experience in her life and has hemophobia. She believes she may need counseling, but can’t find in herself to talk about her problems.
History: Diana grew up in Arkham, Massachusetts where she lived a pretty comfortable life, running a shop specializing in small women’s clothes. Always a politically active woman, she was eventually invited by a friend to a group called the Silver Lodge, which promised that it would bring about “many reforms to the city.” After being a member for a few weeks, however, it became apparent to Diana that they were less a political organization and more of a religious occult that practiced human sacrifice. After seeing them gruesomely kill three unfortunate souls, she fled. Too afraid to report to the authorities, she packed up as much as she could carry and drove away. After traveling for a bit, Diana decided to finally stop at this innocuous little town, which seemed a safe enough place to start over. She set up a new store in Lynchcaster and has been there for five years now.

What was wrong with the two other suspects? I say we kill Jake and dike today, as a double execution. Might as well kill Diana as well, there's a pink and fuzzy coffin at the ready...

The note speaks about bombs left over.. Daniel only bought fertilizer for his grandparents. I'd imagine you'd need a pretty big amount of fertilizer to make at least 7 bombs (2 at power station, 4 at bank, 1 at police station?) and still have some left over. That leaves Daria, Diana, Jack and Waldo as people who bought fertilizer from me. One of them is probably in on it too.

Waldo still seems like a likely choice due to the whole carotid-thing.

Diana led the charge against Roderick, who turned out to be innocent. She also has a gun. She could also fit suspect C from day one.

Daria could easily fit suspect C as well, and be responsible for the notes we keep on finding.

Jack also has pen and paper, and he fits as suspect A due to wanting to take the lead. He could however see that Daniel's suggestion to stand guard is the best solution. Or something. I don't know.

Anyone have any ideas?

"Several bombs left over
?t of line in any way
?ill your precious gold"

Clearly whoever performed the heist and blew up the town wasn't after the gold, they were after those files. Our neat handwriting note wolf is probably the leader judging from this note, looks to me like the author is chastising the other wolf (wolves?) for stealing gold when it wasn't part of the plan. This is all just guesswork of course, but the leader/writer wolf was focused on the task at hand, didn't like to communicate with his or her peers in person (hence the notes) and likely isn't after monetary gain. Because several gold bullions were missing, one of the wolves is likely a bit of a rebel (or a lone wolf, heh heh) and very greedy.

Francis, get the camera. I want to get all of this for the channel exclusive.

Here's my take on the note:

[We have s]everal bombs left ov[er]
[If you get ou]t of line in any way
[I will k]ill your precious g[...] (Maybe "Grandparents")?

So it's obvious the note is from the leader of the pack. And they're threatening their subordinates into submission. If the last word is "Grandparents" then the note is directed at Daniel.

So our leader is someone who is used to making threats and doesn't give a single fig about others.

Edit: Underlined name.

How 'bout "Fill your precious graves"? That sounds incredibly funny. And I'm sure Billy wouldn't like it.

Huh, it seems Diana made a fool out of all of us, I say we kill Jake then. I think we should look into the missing video surveillance because that would mean one of the criminals has knowledge of technology, and cameras.

Let's not forget to search a location. The church seems like as good a place as any to search.

Well now. See what our little Kangaroo Court has accomplished?

But, hey, we've narrowed down our pen/paper users. I'd say the next step is the Church, might be there's something the our killers left there. Also, I say we off Jake as well. I'll sleep easier without the dogmatic crazy man in the same building.
