The Quencies

Hey Interlopers! It's your Head Mod Cheryl here!

In the wake of the June Event and the deaths of NPC Interlopers, I plan on posting an OOC Town Meeting similar to the one posted in May at the end of the month. This will be in regards to Interlopers facing the consequences of their actions of killing any of their own, should anyone want to deal with that and add a little extra to play with in terms of the fallout.

Characters will be free to offer up their own defences for their actions, or admit their guilt. In the Town Meeting post, I'll provide a poll for which players can ICly vote on whether to lay blame to their fellow Interlopers who went too far — and should any particular punishment be needed. Since it's entirely possible some of the murdering could have been avoided, you never know!

This is entirely optional! Your character might have done some murdering very discreetly, and the woods are lovely, dark and deep — after all. Plenty of room to hide a body somewhere.

But if you'd like to get involved with this, please fill out the following form:

<b>Character Name: self explanatory</b> <b>Crime:</b> what unspeakable thing did they do? <b>Character Comments:</b> ICly, please write a character's defence, or admission of guilt here.

Character Name: Cornelius Hickey
Crime: murder and cannibalism of Patrick Carlson
Character Comments:

[ Hickey's choosing his words carefully. There's a carefully controlled neutralness in his tone, keeping it conversational but not too emotional. ]

Some of you all are like me, yeah? We're changed. I can go longer, I can climb up and down ravines that I'd have trouble navigating before, but I get...hungry. And what with the game missing and that thing in my head—that thing in all of our heads, there's no point in pretending like everybody here wasn't in their right mind because of the Darkwalker. Anyway. What mattered most at the time was satiating the hunger and staying alive.

Obviously I'd do things different if we didn't have the Darkwalker raining bloody terror down on us. We'd all have done things differently.

As for the murder? [ Hickey gives a little shrug. ] Man came at me first. I simply decided to defend myself, as so many others here would—as so many others here already have. After all, it's not like these past few weeks are the first time one of us has tried to come for our own.
