Victory!

 "…and you're sure you didn't have drugs on you?"

"Yes, I'm sure! I would know if I had 200 pounds of pot on me!"

"Very well." The officer stamped Michelle's file in red ink the word INNOCENT. "You're not going to be able to leave until tonight though after all the suspects have been interviewed.

Reluctantly, Michelle went back to the holding cell with all the other passengers on the bus. After all being arrested together for trafficking drugs, the cops realized that the one they wanted was the guy carrying a hockey bag full of marijuana. Yet, the stupid paperwork forced them to stay there all day. 

Luckily, since Michelle was on her way to school, she still had her backpack on her and was able to pull out some books to read. Some of the others weren't so fortunate, and were stuck playing Angry Birds on their phones. That is, until the batteries died. Lame. 

It was close to midnight and most everyone was asleep. Michelle was one of the only ones awake. Setting down her tome of a textbook, she looked around at everyone sleeping. Oh boy, she thought, this is what I've been waiting for! Who needs to hunt down prey, when they're forced in a room with me all day! I could attack all of them right now, turn them into werewolves, and we'd take over town!

Michelle was starting to drool at the thought of such a victory when she heard noises through the walls. It sounded to her like a muffled rock concert: she heard yelling, banging, and cheering. How, uncharacteristic of Provo, she thought. The ground shook though as the noises got louder. She could start to hear the sounds a little clearer now. She could almost make out what the people were saying when—

BOOM!

The wall of her cell fell to the ground with a crash! The small crowd of people on the other side set down the battering ram and swept in, taking Michelle. Those that weren't grabbing her were holding torches and pitchforks!

"Michelle, we've caught you!" yelled Scott. 

"Yeah," said Kassi, "you couldn't hide forever."

"I don't know what you're talking ab—"

"Of course you do," said Abbi. "You're the werewolf!"

"I—how do… prove it!" she stammered.

"Well, it was logical, really," said Gavin. "I mean, if you multiply your apartment number by the circumference of the earth divided by the square root of—"

"—What he means," cut in Susie, "is that we all think it's you. We've got you figured out."

Admitting defeat, Michelle started looking worried. "What are you going to do to me?" she asked.

"Oh, the worst thing we could think of," Jeff replied.


"…multiplied by a hundred!" continued Michael.

Sure enough, just a few hours later, the group was outside the Park Plaza office. Michelle was inside signing some papers. She came out looking thoroughly defeated.

"Well?" they demanded.

"It's official… They opened up a spot for me and…" she started to cry, "I'm moving to the third floor."

So that was it. Being werewolf free the townspeople rejoiced in their victory. Rid of the pests, they were safe in going out at night. They could take their tests in peace and drink hot chocolate without worries. They called up Kelly and invited her back, as well as Jared and Brianna. They even discovered Andrew was just asleep and Jeramy was hiding in the fort Scott made. Weird.

The only one looking slightly crestfallen was Gavin. 

"What's wrong?" someone asked him.

"That means I have to move up there too," he said sheepishly. "I'm not leaving my lover…"

That's it!  The townspeople win! Thanks for playing everyone! I had a blast and I think a lot of you did too. I plan on starting another round with awesome new characters, sub-roles, 3rd and 4th parties all fighting to win, and about 2-3 times as many players. For now though, take a break, get ahead in homework, and I'll let you know about the next one sometime this week. Enjoy!
