Back in the Saddle Again

Dark clouds loomed over the small hamlet nestled amongst the hills. Ravens and the occasional bat flew around the hamlet. The lack of people in the streets was obvious, even from the high up tree lined ridges. Inside the town, the houses, buildings, and shops appeared in disarray, falling down and untended too. The streets were choked with weeds, and windows were boarded up. Doors lay hanging half off hinges as if they had been burst open or broken through. One cottage had the words "Hell is in the Hollow" written across the door. Another said "I shoulda moved to Tabula". Yet another had "WOLF!!!" written across it. A few residences had completely collapsed, a few from being burnt to the ground, only some brickwork and charred remains showing that a house had even stood there. Rats, insects, and the occasional lone wolf or jackal were the only living creatures in the streets.

A dark and silent factory loomed over one portion of the town. Its smokestacks no longer belching out dark clouds of noxious smoke. In the center of town, a podium lay on its side, rope and an axe lying tossed nearby. The ground was stained with the color of copper through out the town square, a color that not even over two years of rain had washed away.

A foreboding manor surrounded by a iron fence and gate stood in front of the town square. A sign proudly proclaimed it the residence of the "Humble Mayor of Miller's Hollow". Adorned with gargoyles, its windows mostly broken, except for vermin, the only sign of life on the property was a ratty looking duck sleeping next to a murky pond.

Under the manor, a stone crypt lid stirred, slowly pushing back. A hand grabbing onto the side of the coffin as fresh air flooded into it for the first time in years. A light from a lantern illuminated the staircase down into the dungeon and a butler materialized carrying a silver tray with a bottle of red wine and a glass.

"Good evening, sir" Jeeves spoke towards the crypt.

"Good evening, Jeeves." the Mayor spoke from the coffin.

"I have brought you a bottle of wine, sir. Did you have a nice rest?"

"Quite, Jeeves." The mayor emerged from the coffin, brushing off some dust from his suit, and taking the offered glass of wine. "Prepare the town Jeeves!"

"Prepare the town, sir?" the butler asked.

"Yes, get the work crews ready, fix up the cottages, repair the streets and grounds." the mayor responded.

"Of course sir, right away sir. Does this mean . . . ?"

"Yes, Jeeves, I'm expecting some new citizens for the town. You see, my good friend, Millers Hollow is BACK OPEN FOR BUSINESS!"

SUMMARY: Miller's Hollow is back! The next game begins Monday September 14th! All prospective townsfolk should sign up here now!

Very tempting, but I'm not sure I can commit to posting every day. Could I be put on the voyeur list?

Very good sir, I shall make sure you are on the Watchers List. Can I get you any refreshment while you watch the carnage?

I'm in. I feel nice and safe here, now that I have a community-rated wolf insurance policy.

All wolf insurance offered up in Millers Hollow is provided by the extremely reputable and completely honest company known as Squid Inc.

Absolutely.

Is there an upper limit? Shall I refrain from pimping the game?

[info]baronlaw

August 20 2009, 22:10:22 UTC 2 years ago

Actually I think that brings up a point we should discuss, how many "specials" are we going to have? I think some of the games had far too many. Unless we have a huge player base.

*KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK* - my Valet wakes me up from my long cold sleep. "It is time" she says. I put step out naked, nipples softening in the warm summer night air. Put on my old black frock.

I am ready to begin.

Some friends of mine have recommended Miller's Hollow to my attention, and I have to say I'm pleased thus far! The broken windows, the signs of ferocious and desperate struggles, the town square, so perfect for lynchings... why, I believe the word is 'quaint'!

While I'd love to be on the voyeur list, I don't think I can commit to daily postings, not after a mere two weeks on the new job. Perhaps next time around I can join in full.

It's Alive!

In the dark, dusty lab of the factory, a dark figure pulls the main breaker. The Clone Chambers begin to hum with life. One of the EvilBen Clones in begins to stir. The figure lets out an evil laugh that echos across the town.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Charge!

With a clash of thunder and flash of lightning, the mad scientist takes residence in a disused warehouse on the edge of town. Day and night, strange sounds and lights emanate from his new lair.

Ah, sorry. *ahem*

Waking up in a dusty field for the third time that Autumn my eyes felt like sandpaper and my mouth tasted like something had died in it. I rolled over and immediately retched onto the crab grass when I realised that something, in fact, had.

Reporting for duty, sir!
