INT THE CABIN DINING ROOM
*The students are gathered about the surprisingly long dining table. They look from one to another with great suspicion. They poke nervously at their meals. Suddenly, a strange wind blows in from the cracked window, extinguishing the candles that have been inexplicably lit in a room already illuminated by multiple electric lights.
CUT TO
Those selfsame electric lights, which dim. The room is plunged into near darkness. WE HEAR THE SOUND OF FRIGHTENED BREATHING.*
SOMEONE
Hello? Is someone there?
*There is a long silence. Then, very distinctly, we hear:
A SINGLE KNOCKING SOUND.
Long pause, then:
TWO KNOCKING SOUNDS.
Long pause, then:
TWO KNOCKING SOUNDS.
The lights come up.*
SOMEONE ELSE
What the heck was that? What do you think, Hawkeyeop?
Cut to HAWKEYEOP. He is not forthcoming with his opinion, because some opportunistic partygoer has used this opportunity to remove the bulk of his throat.
HAWKEYEOP, an Alpha Redshirt, done got done in.
SOMEONE
He’s dead!
HAWKEYEOP
Well… that depends on your perspective.
SOMEONE
(Screams)
FADE TO BLACK
(HAWKEYEOP is dead. Like MACEY and BUFFTABBY, he is also not completely dead. Call him 20% alive. He may not be lynched or Night killed, and his vote will not count, but he may continue to participate for as long as he wishes. His win condition has not changed).
Day Three begins here, and will end promptly on this Sunday, January 4, at 1:00PM EST. I will update my sig later this afternoon with links to all previous threads, and provide an updated vote count at that time (we’re kind of in the midst of a bunch of post-New Year’s Eve craziness at the moment). Happy lynching!
