Well, I do admire its simplicity.  Having him die from the poisoned bite of the lizard was a good idea.  The wiggling tail was a good use of animal mannerisms.  And how many reading the death post noticed the plural near the end?

Can we please stop spoiling things? I'm two weeks behind AT LEAST, probably three. The last death I read was Damask's, so keep that in mind. I'd like this thread to go at my pace, and I was simply commenting on the title.
And then he DIED!!!

Damask the Minstrel

... My death?

Cor. I'm a zombie, now.

and why does that have me humming

"and red-red robin, goes bob-bob-bobbing along"

in a continual and infinite loop?


I need a mind purge.  (What do you mean asking me WHAT MIND?   :hamster:  ) --- Hey, if you cannot laugh at yourself, ...

EDIT:
Hey everyone, us hedgehogs have a smilely.  Maybe there is some love in the air after all.  But I'm still humming that line in an endless loop.

Wait, who was supposed to die for week four? Was it Rath or Damask or both? I am confuzzled now. Is it possible to have two competitors die in the same week?

Sycamore made a mistake.  (somebody notify the press!)     ;D


Damask is very much alive.  At least as of the start of Week Five.  Rath is the character voted out of the contest.

Erethas

Thank you, Cairn  :D. If Rath hadn't posted fatality I would have guess that Damask had died.
I wonder how he's going to get out of this pickle - looking forward to finding out. And that flashback was really nice and informative. Now we know a little bit of his past.

Damask the Minstrel

Glad you liked it. I didn't want to dip into flashback-world too much, and I certainly wanted to do it differently than I had seen it done before, but he is an old bird, so I have a lot of backstory to work with if I feel like it.

(And, our first plan was that I was going to post right before Rath with this, which would have been great to read the reactions: two deaths? Oh noes!) ^.^

After this revelation, I'd give Damask maybe a week before he cracks.

Damask the Minstrel

Well, I did plan out his development as if I were going to last the whole contest (Mostly 'cause I've seen people flounder in the last weeks for new ideas, not 'cause I'm overconfident). So, yes. His cracking will come soon. ^.^

Somebody walked past me in a shirt that said "Schrodinger's Cat is Dead."  I had to resist the urge to grab their shoulders and sob  "You killed the cat!  WHHHYYYYYY?" *Nerdystoat*
