AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Diana sighed, folding her arms and frowned. "No doy, you're taking this so casually. Normal animals don't just jump to killing so easily."
Another thought occured to her. "How come nobody on the outside knows about this? I've heard of Hope Town, but never of...this debt." She said, spitting out the last word. "Just how many people have fallen victim to this scam?" And that was a light way of putting it.

"And what would happen if we killed you? I'm sure we could manage it, now or later."

"If you're so curious, find out for yourself. If you can pay off your debt, maybe you'll find those answers... upupu..."

"Also, animals kill all the time. Maybe not in the more civilized of societies, at least, not in the open, but it still happens. For Hope Town to be an ideal place to live, everything must be in balance. Even life and death."



"Well now, you remember what happened to that other guy just now, didn't you? Attacking me will result in the same happening to you, just maybe not with the same circumstances. No. If you want to be rid of me, you'll have to get out of this town somehow."

Cranston, arms tightly wound about his body, thought to make an offer. "We can't just...catch bugs to pay your debt? That's a Re-Tail station near the train tracks, right? Heck, I've got some Bells in my account if you need to get out of the red, sweatband."

Pierce folds his arms and frowns.


Murder.... You can't be serious, sport.

"W-what if I payed off my debt?!?!? I have the bells!

Octavian sighed, tentacles making an odd squishing noise as he folded them.
"I suppose we have no choice then, sucker," he blurped rather unimpressed "unless you're all contented to stay here for the rest of time which in my opinion would be completely idiotic."
The octopus cast his gaze to the eagle as he spoke," I highly doubt You'd get out of this that easily, sucker."

"So it appears murder is the only available option. But there has to be another way. There has to. But what?"

"One would assume catching and selling fish bugs and furniture, sucker." This was getting tiresome. They needed a plan

"Sorry, but Re-tail works closely with me and my Nephews. At this point their business is resigned to refurbishing furniture and furniture exchange. They're not allowed to purchase any goods given to them."



"Sorry, but that won't happen. You see, when you were on your way to this town, there was a bit of an... accident."

He points to the train tracks where you can see a pile of twisted train cars piled up in a mound.

"It was a wonder that all of you survived!" he says dramatically. "However, try as we might, your possessions were forfeited to the flames. Some sacrifices had to be made for your... upupu... well-being."

"Also, don't even think of trying to wire cheddar in. Hope Town is entirely cut off from the outside world. No need to worry about any wars, protests, or disgusting wastes of flesh out there."



"Ooh, I like you. I'd almost be willing to be your friend, but you know what they say, never get into cheddar issues with friends, upupu~"



"You must not be listening. Your other option is to live here forever!"

"Or try to find and kill the Mayor, upupu...

"But that would only work if the mayor themselves decide to murder someone... perhaps someone who causes them problems."

A loud bell rings through the town, alerting the residents with 7 dings that it is 7 pm.

"Oh my, is it that late already? Well then, I must be taking my leave. You bastards have fun socializing, and try not to kill eachother too quickly. I'll leave you with a few new rules!"

"Also, don't think you can get away with anything while I'm gone. There are hidden cameras everywhere, including in your houses. Tampering with them or blocking their sight in any way is also strictly forbidden."

TOM NOOK'S TOWN RULES

Failure to follow these rules will result in horrific murder for your character.

1. No editing. I don't think I need to emphasize this, but I will say that this could be the one that screws you over if you don't remember it. Etch it in your brain for your sake. I don't want drama and I don't want to kill someone for something stupid like this. I want to kill you because you killed a little girl in cold blood or something.

2. Follow forum rules. About the only rule that can be disregarded kinda is the double/triple post rule, since it conflicts with rule one, but do try to keep this to a minimum. I don't necessarily want to see three posts of "Lol, tis is dumb" "this*" "daisies, I can't believe I typo'd that."

3. No personal attacks or nastiness. People are going to accuse you of murder. Of which you may or may not be guilty of. If you aren't and they're going to "ruin the game" by ganging up on you, getting mad isn't the option. If you're the murderer and someone figured you out for a completely bullshit reason and you've just lost the game because of it, getting mad isn't going to make the game more enjoyable for everyone else. I don't foresee this being a problem, but if proletariats need to step into this thread, I'm going to kill the guilty party.

4. Only 1 after-death post. And it can't be directly related to the game. No "the Mayor is X" (though you can say "The Mayor is..." and end the post there).

5. No leaving the boundaries of the town. You will be killed for attempting to do so, and there is no escape before the game is over.

6. The Mayor's House is off-limits to all villagers. Anyone seen breaking into the mayor's house will be killed instantly.

7. Nighttime runs from 10 PM to 8 AM. During this time, Main Street is strictly off-limits.

8. Villagers may not sleep outside of a house. Bad things will happen to them~

9. Cameras are not to be tampered with. Doing so will result in a meeting with Tom Nook.

10. In game rules can be added at any time.

"So long, neighbors~"

And like that, Tom Nook disappeared, leaving the villagers confused and worried.

I-if there's nowhere to sell, there's no way to make any cheddar, sproing. And if we can't make any cheddar...

"My....my cheddar.... He can't be serious..."

So we're all broke. Interesting. I doubt that there was a train crash and we weren't informed earlier. Probably took it all. Too late now.

"I'm afraid he's telling the truth," Diana said to the two, loud enough for them to hear whether they were close to her or not. "I don't want to believe it, but...that wreckage has all the signs of a real train accident." She muttered something under her breath, a few words louder being audible like 'materials' and 'investigate'.

"It will be a problem, however, considering what we'll have to do for breakfast and the like...I suggest we all learn each who is whom. We've got the maps, but that doesn't exactly match the name to the face."

Pierce let out a deep sigh.

"I guess you're right, rookie. It'd be best to get to know each other a little better, rather than having to live with complete strangers."
