This thread comes to you courtesy of Viceroy Fizzlebottom- I promised to make it upon his suggestion but then had to finish school. In his words: “Too obscure quotes/references. You don’t often quote them because you suspect they don’t have a wide appeal, but they run through your head all the time. Maybe you’ll find an audience for them?” Have fun!

The shadowy figure from yesterday hands their gun to a different shadowy figure. This one has a nice hat. The shadowy figure approaches the confused Englishman. There’s no way someone could be this confused without hiding something, they think. The … Continue reading Werewolf 58: The Room- Day 6
You are tearing me apart, Lisa!” You toss Generic Man out of the window. He still smiling that terrifying smile, even in death. You’ll miss him, probably. For now, you all decide to cut into the third ice cream cake Lisa brought you all, even though she isn’t here. It’s vanilla ice cream with the chocolate crunchy things. You know the kind.
