Toy Story 2

"Guys," said Matt. "There are too many of us here. One of us needs to go."

Several people were gathered at Waffle House. They had scooted several tables together to fit all eight of them in one spot. Luckily, it was Waffle House and people didn't really care about what they were doing. They had each ordered several plates' worth of everything and it was getting really crowded.

"I say we do a vote," said Kyle. "Whoever gets the most votes has to go to a different table."

So they started to vote. Would you believe the luck? Four people got two votes each. In a game with eight people that was a little odd. So, they decided to rule them out by brackets.

Brad, Kegan, Kyle, and Meighan all moved to one side of the tables because they were safe. Meanwhile Deb, Johnanthan, Matt and Stephanie went to the other side since they got votes. They decided to settle things with a simple Rock-Paper-Scissors contest. Best two out of three.

So they had at it. Deb and Matt started. Deb threw Rock beating Matt's Scissors on the very first throw. Matt then threw a Rock and beat Deb. Finally, after several round of ties, Deb finally won out with yet another Rock. Deb moved to the safe side of the table.

Johnathan and Stephanie were up next. Johnathan, though, being such the gentleman and future missionary he is, offered to let Stephanie sit out. What a stud.

So it was the final match: Matt and Johnathan. The loser would have to leave. So they went at it. They both threw Paper for the first three rounds, trying to trick each other up. Johnathan thought there'd be one more and threw Paper, but Matt decided to try his luck and threw Scissors instead. Success! Matt was up 1-0.

Johnathan didn't give up hope though, and when they both threw Rock for two rounds, he wasn't going to be tricked again. Matt threw a third Rock, but Johnathan changed to Paper. And he got it!

They were tied: 1-1.

Matt was sweating now and Johnathan had his other fist clenched so hard his knuckles were turning white. Little did Matt know that Johnathan had been watching documentaries on Rock-Paper-Scissors for a few weeks now. He was something of an expert. But little did Johnathan know that Matt spent hours refereeing and knew the ins and outs of every competitive game out there.

So they went at it again. Since Johnathan won with Paper last time, Matt instinctively wanted to throw a Scissors. Johnathan knew he'd do that though, so he was ready to throw Rock. But Matt knew Johnathan would be ready for that, so he threw a Paper. But Johnathan knew Matt…

They both threw Rock.

Matt wanted to throw another Rock to trip Johnathan up, but Johnathan was ready and threw Rock.

This continued for several minutes.

Finally, in a last desperate attempt of reverse psychology, Matt threw a Paper. However, Johnathan was ready, and threw Scissors.

It was over.

Among cheers from all of Waffle House, Johnathan was lifted up on people's shoulders—no small feat since there were only 8-foot ceilings there.

Meanwhile, Matt started walking towards the door. It was his idea in the first place to kick someone out. He had no idea it would be him though.

So, lonely and forgotten, he walked outside. He went out back and found his Witch's broom and took off towards the sky. Never to be seen again.

When everyone calmed down, they saw a note that Matt had left. He explained that he was the Innocent and never thought his own friends would betray him like that. Everyone felt terrible for voting off the Innocent, and stayed at home the next night. Only the werewolf felt no guilt, and had a night entirely to themselves to roam free.

Since the Innocent has been killed, only the Werewolf may send me a name. If a role has any inherent or passive powers, those are still fine (Elder, Angel, Key Maker, Handsome, Diseased, etc.).

Here were today's votes:

Matt: 2
Deb: 2
Johnathan: 2
Stephanie: 2
