The sun slowly peeked up over the mountains. The birds took to chirping, the squirrels took to chattering, the brook took to babbling. This was about as boisterous as things got in this neck of the woods. For this little town, if you want to call it that, was home to many a recluse. Some by choice, others by necessity, but they all preferred to keep to themselves and conversation rarely entailed more than a nod of the head or a wave of the hand.
So it’s not hard to imagine that the residents really didn’t know each other very well at all, and that was just fine by them. Though they were about to not be so fine with it.
There was one person everybody knew, a little bit anyway, the town’s founder, Adobery. He respected their privacy, but he did check on his citizens from time to time. So when Melissa D was out for an early walk down the town’s main (only) road, she recognized the marred body of Adobery lying there. His throat had been slashed wide open, with matching claw marks across his arms, stomach, and legs. She whistled and shouted until she roused the rest of the town into gathering around the founder’s corpse.
“What the heck are you doing?”, Melissa D asked of the fella with his hand shoved down Adobery’s jean pocket.
DarkHorseAsh responded, “Had to see if he was packing. He’s not, or at least not any more, but I did find this.” He showed everyone a folded up piece of paper.
“Well read it,” Chris said impatiently.
“Dear citizens. If you are reading this, great danger is upon us all. I have had suspicions there was evil among us. I first came across a bear slaughtered in the woods. It’s wounds seemed unnatural. There have been times in the night that all the creatures suddenly go quiet. Then, tonight I heard a chorus of howls. I know what wolves sound like, and these were no ordinary howls. There was evil in those howls. I may be a crazy old man, but I fear werewolves are among us.
I am going to stand watch tonight, if only to prove to myself I am crazy.” DarkhorseAsh finished.
“What are we supposed to do?” asked joepunman.
“I think it’s werewolf hunting time,” said Pete.

I’m sorry; had a long day. Day one, don’t know what to write for this really. Hope everyone is enjoying isolation I guess. By enjoying I mean not going completely insane? Been playing too much D&D.
Novak is usually a wolf, so, why not. I wonder if you can socially distance while hanging a werewolf.

Hmm, what is happening that returns are not working? I’ve posted with pressing Enter and Shift+Enter and both post correctly with new lines. Y’all doing something different?
I may have to ditch this fancy comment plugin.

Ok, nobody copy/paste using my lists. That is preformatted code that won’t work for you. If you need to copy/paste a name list, use it from the original post content up top.

Metas on me felt fine. Except Chris. That’s wolfy.

Melissa and Nibbish inactive so far. For them, seems villagery.

Who? What? When? Where? Why? Answer always: Novak is wolf.

In fairness, I see that you did just that.

This game is a classic already! -
I’ll admit, my five minute read is that the only thing that really scans wolfy all day is Chris’s vote on Wolfson.
-
This is more than ten words, but once you cut out all the buffer words, it’s only saying about four words’ worth.
Also, this is a nested post.

Everyone has gathered, a considerate 6 feet apart, in what passes for a town square to witness their first lynching. They had determined that morning that the special poster would also be their vote counter.
Ashton says, “We didn’t reach a majority, but Matt had 4 votes to Colin’s 3, so I guess we have to do this.”
“I demand a recount,” demands Matt.
Nobody would have expected anything less. Ashton recounts the votes. “We still didn’t reach a majority, but Matt had 3 votes to Colin’s 4, so I guess we have to do this.”
“This can’t be right, I demand another….oh.” says Matt.
“What!” says a baffled Colin. “You’re making a mistake!”
But another recount still tallies 4 votes for Colin. He is pointed towards the noose, and asked to put it on himself. He slips it over his head, and tightens it as best he can manage.
“Please step off the chair now,” requests Ashton.
“Fine.” Colin says.
He twitches and jerks for quite some time, being inexperienced at hanging himself. Finally, he hangs still. Everyone steps a little closer…but Colin does not sprout extra hair or fangs.
