> [@special\_ed](#): > > No, I’m saying I’m waiting to find out what happens, which occurs in the color. Fair enough. I read it initially as “I’m waiting for storyteller’s talented writing!” which, while awesome, shouldn’t be the first thing on anyone’s mind. ---

**INT THE CABIN LIVING ROOM** _The camera circles the room rapidly._ SOMEONE Guys, Hal Briston’s hardly even been here. Have you noticed? SOMEONE ELSE Yeah! Stubbornly silent, I’d call it. HAL BRISTON Actually, guys, I’ve been here a while. SOMEONE Seriously, what is up with Hal Briston? He never says a word. HAL BRISTON Again, I’m _right here_. SOMEONE ELSE You know what we should do, to get him to talk more? We should fucking _kill_ him! HAL BRISTON Wait… what? SOMEONE I mean, he hasn’t even told us who he is! HAL BRISTON Well, I mean, actually, I did. I mean… SOMEONE ELSE Lynch the lurker! HAL BRISTON Fuck. _HAL sprints from the room, up the stairs. They follow, but HAL quickly loses them in the surprisingly labyrinthine second floor. He finds himself in an abandoned room, with only a small television, sitting alone on the floor under a nearby window._ HAL BRISTON That’s strange. What is a television doing alone on the floor under a nearby window? _Suddenly, the television powers on of its own accord. HAL starts. Ominous music plays, as the channels flick by. At first, the images are benign. A few notes from American Idol. Iron Chef America, starring Bobby Flay; we hear Alton Brown say “the secret ingredient… is mutton.”_ HAL BRISTON Ah, screw you, invisible narrator. _Finally the television stops. It appears to be… yes… it is… American football. HAL’s eyes widen in horror as he realizes what he is seeing._ TV ANNOUNCER Manning from his own 13… back to pass… under pressure… looks over the middle… intercepted by Asante Samuel! HAL BRISTON (Luke Skywalker) Nooooooo!!! _In horror, HAL throws himself through the window, cutting his own throat._ **Hal Briston** , an Alpha Redshirt, has been lynched. * * * Your moderator apologizes for the above color; he is still working out some personal issues regarding the results of last weekend’s football games, and suspects the recently deceased, at least, will appreciate this. * * * Thus begins Night Five, which will end at 7:00PM on Friday evening. Have fun! ---

Well crap. I figured that’s what would happen, but it’s still disappointing. And Hal’s not 1/5 alive. ---

> [@pedescribe](#): > > Well crap. I figured that’s what would happen, but it’s still disappointing. And Hal’s not 1/5 alive. So it’s not the alpha thing. I wonder if there are just a few of us who are to be left 1/5 alive. Or if it matters how they are killed, or a myriad of other possiblities… These people are still alive, by my reckoning Masons 1. pede 2. Hockey Naf confirmishified 3. cookies 4. Total Lost Claimed 5. MHaye Scotsman/doc of sorts 6. zeriel Vanilla 7. dotchan Vanilla In the pool 8. brewha 9. Nanook 10. JSexton 11. Millit 12. Almost H 13. Rapier 14. Natlaw 15. special 16. amruss Here’s an idea, perhaps a bad one, but you can tell me so. It won’t hurt my feelings. I know a claim has been talked about. I had an idea about a name only claim, to try to force the Scum into a smaller vanilla pool, but that won’t work. The names seem to be generic, Sorority treasurer, Questionable Hillbilly, some sort of Ash child thing. But that won’t work, neither will a full out claim. The roles are too odd. Vincent a dog, a vampire. Scum could easily hide in a vanilla pool or make up some funky role. I’m at a loss as to what to do. I’m sorry, **Hal**. I was obviously wrong about you. ---

I was afraid of that. Sorry my poke vote lingered for so long. I was out of the house for most of the day. When I read Hal’s go screaming out of the cabin post, I knew (just knew) he was gonna turn up town. If I had been able to move my vote sooner, maybe we could have avoided this. Sorry Hal. ---

Sorry Hal. I was able to shake my stubborn hackles about you, but too little and too late. ☹ If that is the way we confirmed are going to block, maybe tomorrow we should pledge to all vote for different people and then we’ll end up all on the same player 😃 ---

Ah well…brought it on myself. Excellent color, **story** – even if you did rip open a scab that was just beginning to heal. 🙂 Go town!
