I loved the interaction too much to not include it, but I didn't want 36 to go on forever, so why not a bonus chapter? Enjoy! Side note, I used cards and picked at random for each roll, have a wipeboard and everything that I wrote it on, and then I used wheels to determine who went after who for both games of Werewolf, unpredictability even to me is more fun that way! This is literally how the cards and wheels went.
GSOG Bonus chapter
Barbara shuffles the cards herself while everyone takes a seat, this circle goes Wally, Dick, Kaldur, Raquel, Conner, Megan, Zatanna, and Artemis. Barbara passes out the cards to each person, the order goes with Wally as Hunter, Dick as medic, Kaldur and Raquel are villagers, Conner and Megan are werewolves, and lastly, Zatanna and Artemis are villagers.
"Deep in the forest lies a small little village of 8 people. In this village, bitten by a rabid squirrel, two unlucky villagers become were-squirrels and run amuck in the village at night when everyone sleeps." Barbara starts, everyone bows their heads. The squirrels thing makes Dick giggle, imagining tiny squirrel people. "The were-squirrels wake, chittering about and sneak into another villager's cabin." This time, Conner and M'gann lift their heads. They look at each other, smiling softly at one another. They look around the room, trying to decide who to kill. Conner shrugs and picks Artemis. M'gann frowns, then agrees. "Once they're had their fill, they return to their huts and fall back asleep, chittering in their sleep until they turn back to normal." Dick's nose twitches at her phrasing, she didn't say human… Could just be speculation, but… "Now, the medic has a good nose for trouble." Barbara states. Dick lifts his head, looking around the room. Who would they go for? Only ones who aren't human are Conner and M'gann, so who is dead…? M'gann wouldn't kill anyone willingly, so who would Conner kill? His brows knit. He points at Raquel since she's the newest to the team. "Having done their due diligence, they return to their cabin to sleep, a peaceful slumber of little rabbits and chipmunks dancing around. Now the hunter is awake, wanting to find who killed the poor civilian." Wally lifts his head and immediately points to Zatanna, for some reason… Then bows his head again. "After tying up who they suspect is the killer squirrel, the hunter falls asleep on the floor because that's just what they do apparently." Dick giggles again. So Wally is the hunter, right? "Now awake in the morning, the villagers come out to find that poor archery girl Arty is no longer among the living. The medic tried to save Raquel, but accidentally wrapped her in a chrysalis of bandages like a little caterpillar who is to turn into a butterfly and poor Zatanna was found tied up. Perhaps it was a lover's quarrel that led the hunter to arrest her."
"Oh dang." Wally states. "That stinks." Shut up Wally is what comes to mind for Dick.
"It really does, but hey, I think it's sweet someone was thinking of my sweetheart." Zatanna says, looking at Artemis. Artemis smiles at her before standing up, walking off to the side.
"The village takes a vote as to who they suspect the were-squirrel to be. Who thinks it's Wally?" Barbara asks. Kaldur and Conner raise their hands.
"Hey!" Wally protests.
"Who thinks it's Dick?" Barbara asks.
"Well, he's been trained not to kill, sooo…" Wally trails off. No one raises their hand. Dick smiles in relief and adorable innocence, he can't be the werewolf! Or were-squirrel…
"What about Kaldur?" Barbara asks. No one votes. "Huh… Ok, Conner?"
"Can I vote even though I'm liquidating in a cocoon?" Raquel asks.
"Yes." Barbara answers.
"Oh, yea, then I vote Conner." She continues, raising her hand. Conner rolls his eyes.
"Ok, and what about Megan?" Barbara asks. Dick raises his hand, Wally raises his hand because Dick raises his hand, he's a fricken detective, who wouldn't agree with him? Zatanna decides to agree, raising her hand, though, pretends her hands are tied up. "Ok, no need for further votes. Bye Megan!"
"Darn…" She levitates up to her feet. "Good luck, Wally! Oops… Sorry." She flies off next to Artemis quickly.
"Hey!" Wally calls after her. Dick laughs. "It's not funny! I'm not a werewolf!"
"Were-squirrel." Dick breaks from his laughter to correct him.
"Whatever!" He crosses his arms, pouting, though they know him well enough to know he's not really upset.
"I'm keeping it secret this time." Barbara says, smiling. Dick takes that to mean that Megan was the were-squirrel. "Now, at night, everyone goes to sleep uneasy, unsure if they cut the head off the right squirrel." Everyone bows their heads. "The were-squirrels come out to play." Conner lifts his head. "Who is the next victim?" Conner points to Raquel. "Once the decision is made, they return to their cabins to sleep their feast away, hibernating for the night. Now, the medic wakes." Dick raises his head. "Who shall they save?" Dick discerns again, Conner is likely the other were-squirrel, but who would he pick… He decides, let's save Raquel again, and points to Raquel. "And once the medic's next victim is all bandaged up, the hunter hunts, bow in hand, if they can wield a bow, probably not since the archer is dead." Wally lifts his head now, points to Kaldur, for revenge, and then drops his head back down. "The hunter ties up who they think is a were-squirrel, and in the morning, they find the carnage, or lack thereof as Raquel was the were-squirrels' next victim, however the medic valiantly cocoons them once again, this time saving her life."
"Yea!" Raquel shouts, throwing a fist into the air happily. "Medic, if I knew who you were, I'd give you a hug!"
"While the medic was successful, the hunter ties up poor Kaldur, it's because he's an Atlantean, isn't it?" Barbara remarks. Wally's head lowers a bit. "And while the were-squirrels' victim was saved, it's now time to vote to find out who is losing their head. Who thinks it's Wally?" Kaldur raises his hand again.
"Come on, man! Why?"
"Because we are friends, and I can." Kaldur states, smiling softly.
"Who thinks it's Dick?" Barbara asks. Conner and Zatanna raise their hands. Dick lowers his head a bit, shrugging up his shoulders to appear smaller. "Kaldur?" Wally's hand shoots up immediately. "Conner?" Dick raises his hand.
"Wait, can I change my vote?!" Wally asks.
"Nope! Vote is final." Barbara states. He curses under his breath. Raquel votes for Conner as well though. "Ok, it's a tie. Dick, Conner, play Rock, paper, scissors."
"Play what?" Conner asks.
"Janken Pon." Dick answers.
"Gesundheit." Wally comments.
"Gotcha, ok." Conner states.
"Jan-ken-pon." Both state as their hands move up and down. Dick picks rock, Conner picks paper. Dick pffs like a horse and stands up, joining Artemis and Megan, crossing his arm as he watches the rest of the game.
"The villagers return to sleep, perhaps for the last night, and now, the were-squirrels wake to feast, who will they devour this night?" Barbara asks. Conner lifts his head. Dick raises his hands up in the air with triumph, so glad he won in his own mind, he guessed it was Conner, and since the only ones voted out were him and M'gann, means M'gann was the other one. No one else raised their heads. He considers that a victory. Conner shrugs and points to Kaldur. "Once their victim is well and gone, the medic wakes to provide aid." Conner lowers his head, though there is no medic, so nothing happens, however, Barbara continues. "And now, the hunter. Who is it?" Wally lifts his head, looking around. It's clear Barbara is starting to get tired as she's not as energetic. Dick does take pride in that he figured out it was Wally who was the hunter. Wally thinks a moment this time, not just going all willy nilly with it this time. Dick suspected it was Conner… Conner voted for Dick, but so did Zatanna. Why would Zatanna vote for Dick? It's not Raquel, she was killed but saved. It could be Zatanna and Conner… So Wally points to Zatanna. Dick fights the urge to facepalm. Wally lowers his head again. "Now… the moment you've all been waiting for. The morning. Everyone wakes up, finding Kaldur dead. Goodness, he died horribly. And the medic did not attempt to save anyone this time. And once again, Zatanna is found tied up. The hunter is really bad at their job, aren't they?"
"You got that right." Dick comments.
"Hey!" Wally argues. Dick facepalms.
"Kid Idiot…"
"Short stack!"
"Once one of the villagers is done talking to the ghost of his boyfriend, the villagers vote. Who suspects Wally?" Conner and Zatanna raise their hands. "Ok, who suspects Conner?" Wally raises his hand, looking at Raquel hopefully. Raquel glances at Zatanna and Conner, then raises her hand. "Another tie. Ok, this time… let's flip a coin. In honor of my home city." She grabs out a coin purse and takes out a quarter. "Heads, it's Wally, Tails, it's Conner." She flips it in the air, it spins, she catches it, places it on her other hand, aaaand. "Wally's out. The game is done, Were-squirrels win." M'gann jumps for joy.
"Dang it…" Wally mumbles, crossing his arms.
"It's your own fault! If it was Zatanna, she would have been out when you caught her the first time!" Dick argues.
"How was I supposed to know that?!" Wally argues back.
"Listen to the rules, maybe!"
"Ladies, you're both pretty, shut up!" Artemis snaps.
"I'm prettier!" Dick snaps back and goes to the kitchen where M'gann went to make cookies to celebrate the were-squirrels' win.
"No, I'm prettier!" Wally shouts after him, getting up and racing after him.
"You can't pull off a dress!" Dick argues more, their shouting can be heard all the way to the mission room.
"Put one on and we'll see!" Wally flirt argues.
"Ok that was kinda smooth!" Dick shouts, just shouting for the sake of shouting. Barbara shakes his head.
"They're perfect for each other…" She mutters. "But yea, I've seen Dick in a dress, he can make a very convincing little lady."
"This does not surprise me given his figure." Kaldur comments.
