A chill breeze circles the village square, rustling dry leaves over the pavement. Dragonfly, the griffin sheriff, glances toward the noise, before turning up her collar to keep warm. She is extra vigilant on these nightly rounds. The recent spate of werewolf attacks has left the villagers nervous, and it was her job to protect them. From the corner of her eye she watched bubblegumfrog practice his gangnam dance, and trip his way up the village store stairs and into the premises in the process.
She peered into the artists studio where the mermaid esperare was working on her latest coral sculpture. On the other end of the studio, Alind was focused on an intricate weave in the design of her next basket. "I hate to interrupt creative genius, but it's cutting really close to curfew ladies." she called into the room.
Alind raised her eyes from her work, a little surprised. "The day really got away on me - thanks for stopping in sheriff!" She began to pack away her tools and tidy her space.
"Would you mind locking the studio door behind you?" esperare asked, "I really want to get this feature just right before I turn in, and I have my spare bed in the corner."
With a nod and a wave, alind firmly closes and locks the studio door before continuing home.
A ruckus from the grocery store catches her ear as she passes.
"Put that down!" yelled riverdancepenguin, brandishing one of her O. Cobblepot umbrellas toward fluffy. The giant cookie monster was gleefully munching the cookie stocks straight from the shelves. Cookie crumbs rained to the floor as she piled more and more into her mouth. "Ooo orwayth arv th meth bithguts." she mumbled around a mouthful, and grabbed another packet while dodging the next umbrella swing. Bubblegumfrog was sprawled unconscious not far away, with an umbrella handle impression on the side of his head. Courageouscockroach was bent over his patient, one claw holding a compress, and his tail swinging defensively to try and parry the wild swings of the innkeeper.
"For pete's sake woman, would you calm down and quit your caterwauling, or I'll turn my stinger on you." he exclaimed. He had had the venom surgically drained at the beginning of his medical tenure and had the sacs altered to produce anesthetic. He had never been more sorely tempted to use it outside of the surgery than right now on that infernal shopkeeper!
"I don't tell you how to run your surgery doc, and you can keep your nose out of how I run my store!" she retorted, and landed a blow on an empty shelf as fluffy whipped another cookie pack away.
Dragonfly, drawn by the noise, assessed the situation cooly. "Ms. penguin, if I buy all of your cookies supplies, will you let fluffy have them so we can get everyone home for kerfew?"
Riverdancepenguin slowly lowered her weapon while eyeing the coin-purse of the sheriff. "There are also damages that need covered..."
Dragonfly sighed and started counting coins. "Once I'm done here doc, I'll give you a hand to move bubblegumfrog to the recovery room. Can you prepare a stretcher while I finish this transaction?" She acknowledges a nod from courageouscockroach with a nod in turn before turning back to fluffy and riverdancepenguin. "Now you two will go straight home - no more funny business tonight?"
Fluffy responds by filling her arms with cookies and heading toward the door, while riverdancepenguin keeps a careful eye on the sheriffs coin count.
Meustrus and dragonslayer were holding up a table at the inn. Dozens of empty bottles covering the surface testify to how they are coping with recent events.
"How hard would it be to make a frog suit of armour?" slurred meustrus.
"Shouldn't be too bad, but you'll be paying a pretty penny for it. All those smaller plates mean detail work and lots of time." replied the blacksmith, toying with the handle of his lightsaber as he mused on the best way to achieve this request.
"Could you also make it match my skin?" meustrus asked, "You know, camouflage it. The best defence is sometimes the one you don't see coming."
Dragonslayer raised an eyebrow as he guaged the kermit tones of meustrus' complexion. "Colouring metal can be tricky" he replied "and it ain't easy - green"
"Tell me about it!" said meustrus with an eye roll as he raised his glass again. He spat the liquid almost as soon as it reached his tongue - suddenly the beer was burning!!!
A giggle from beneath the table drew their attention to Tiger, her rabbit paws filled with cayenne pepper and her magic wand. "Ha hah ahah - final call ya layabout bums!! Get gone, it's time for lockup"
"I'm not going anywhere until I finish my drink!" retorted dragonslayer.
"By all means." was Tigers reply, and with a grin she waved her wand over the cayenne pepper in her hand. The glass in front of dragonslayer began to smoke.
"Oh, by Darth Vaders left leg!!" he cursed "I want a refund for that!!"
Mockingjay the innkeeper emerged from the storage room. "What the heck is all this racket?, and why on earth are you two still here - I called closing time twenty minutes ago!" she glared at the final two patrons.
"Fine" sighed meustrus "the grogs gone, it's time to head home". They raised themselves onto unsteady legs.
"I don't have all night to wait for you two to remember how to walk!" spat mockingjay, and with a flick of her hand, the two men found themselves flying through the door and landing with a thud on the street. They stumble to their respective cottages, each wondering what bubblegumfrog had done now to be carried on a stretcher.
A silence falls over the town as night draws in. All the members of the village have nothing to do... but wait. From the darkness - a howl. Then a snarl, followed by a long wailing scream. No-one dares twitch a curtain for fear of drawing attention to themselves.
When morning dawns, a crowd gathers around the body of Madeline, the town minstrel, her guitar in pieces on the ground not far away.

It started out as a quiet night in the small town. Riverdancepenguin could be seen across the town square closing up shop. Meusterus and Fluffy were loudly discussing education after helping out Ms. Edna, the schoolteacher, by presenting for her students. The students always loved seeing Kermit the Frog and a giant Cookie Monster.
From the pool where she worked on her art, the mermaid Tiger could hear the hammers from Dragonslayer’s jedi smithy. Tiger thought she saw something move in the bushes beside her pool. Swimming a little closer she scared out Hitashi, the evil witches bunny, who went hopping away toward the town. Tiger just barely saw the evil witch, Mockingjay, greet Hitashi at the inn. The doctor, Courageouscockroach, could be seen much clearer through the inn door twitching his scorpion tail as he guzzled another drink.
As Alind was walking back to her home a piercing howl broke through the night. A chill ran up her spine as the elf carried her newly woven baskets home. Bubblegumfrog bumbled into Alind, spilling all the baskets. He apologized as he fumbled to pick them up only managing to break one of them. “Is there a problem here?” the griffin sheriff Dragonfly asked Alind. “No, this idiot just broke one of my baskets.” Dragonfly headed back to the jail while Bubblegumfrog continued to cause Alind mayhem.
Another howl rang on the wing. Then the scattered screams of children. Everyone ran back towards the school. When they got there they saw Ms. Edna dead on the back steps. Dragonfly checked the building. All doors and windows were locked with the children and assistant teacher safely inside. Clutched in Ms. Edna’s had was a note saying there was enough food and water in the school and to please not let them out until the danger was gone.

I'd just google what time is it in, then add America (to get a list of different locations) then Australia and new zealand... the only time it seems to be an issue is when the clocks change but we'll know for next time after the last fiasco.
If it's any consolation it was the same when last we played, as so many people from different time zones, and the clocks change at different times, sometimes on different day - which I'm guessing is what happened here....Tiger put up the listings BEFORE ALL the time zones had changed over.
It's just part and parcel of the internet making the world a global village.

I tried looking it up and it got too confusing. One website was telling me that CST and GMC-6 were different…. I'm pretty sure I'm in both but maybe it was daylight savings but I thought I had that turned on… yeah I'm clueless. But thank you, it helps knowing I'm not the only one who has trouble with it.

Here's a suggestion... Since the current times listed are correct then until the clocks change again, you could just simply copy and paste Tigers, and just change the date accordingly, remembering that australia and New Zealand are always the next day

Meustrus (AKA Kermit the frog) wandered towards the village with his cart, thinking- WAS IT ALL WORTH IT??. The latest news was that Courageouscockroach the scorpion doctor was apparently hoping that wolfsbane MIGHT live up to its name and discourage the wolves from attacking anyone so you could KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE. Aware that there was little time before curfew, Meustrus quickened his pace and entered the village square which was ringed by houses and businesses.
In the village, two small boys were busy playing PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE. "Hahahahahaha Peter yelled as he swung his plastic sword...DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD! His brother John was knocked to the floor.
"Oops" thought Courageouscockroach, "ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST. "He quickly ran over to see if the boy was alright, asking, "Do you have ONE VISION or double vision?" But John brushed himself off saying, "oh stop fussing doc, WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER anyhow".
Their mother Marge Simpson appeared calling, "Peter! John! Come here at once" it's time to go to the theatre to practice the play!"
Groaning the boys threw down their swords in disgust. "Do we have to?" they whined. "Yes you jolly well do - THE SHOW MUST GO ON!" she said, sighing at their long faces, "Yes, Yes....we know, IT'S A HARD LIFE. goodness you two, anyone would think i just sentenced you to 10 years hard labour!
"Aaaww - DON'T STOP ME NOW" moaned John, then as a quiet aside, why does she always have to spoil our fun? Now we'll never know who would've won!
"We both did," said Peter giving him a good natured slap on the back. Then grabbing John's hand he lifted it high yelling, "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS" Then quietly to his brother, "Let's get this over and done with so we can have a BICYCLE RACE!"
Politely Courageous cockroach nodded and raised his hat as he passed Alind the elfin basket weaver and Riverdancepenguin the village store owner who were haggling earnestly over basket prices. A new mother was showing off her baby to them both. "I love her so much, but it's just so hard to get babysitters nowadays." she remarked. They both picked up on the INNUENDO - things were definitely not the same with werewolves on the loose. "Don't worry cutie pie," they cooed over the baby, "WE WILL ROCK YOU."
"Wa wa WADIO GAGA" said the infant in reply.
Tiger the giant cookie monster was currently chained to a post in the square in an effort to stop her from scoffing everyone's cookies. She eyed all the cookies and cakes in the bakery window hungrily, rattling her chains and yelling at the sheriff, "i WANT TO BREAK FREE" <--this section was added by Tiger.)
She was tucking into a huge slice of pie which looked like SHEER HEART ATTACK. when suddenly she began jumping about, flapping and yelling, "Ouch, ouch I've been stung!"
It was turning into a busy day for the scorpion doctor! "I'm sure it will be fine!" he said after examining it, "cookie monsters don't die of bee stings."
"We do if it's a KILLER QUEEN!" remarked Tiger crossly. Suddenly she spotted a delicious cake in his doctors bag. "Oh no you don't!" said Cockroach I won that...!st prize in the village raffle."
"Aaaaw pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease" said Tiger being as charming as possible. "Absolutely not!" he replied. "But I'm so cookie-less and hungry she pointed out...c'mon, just GIMME THE PRIZE!" Breaking into a run he left her behind clutching the delicious cake tightly, and after a very long day Courageouscockroach finally made it back to his office.
Funny but IN ONLY SEVEN DAYS the village seemed have become resigned to its fate and life carried on as usual till the light began to fade.
As Meustrus approached the doctors office the door opened and cockroach the scorpion doctor shoved Bubblegumfrog the village idiot out into the street. "But, but, but, IT'S A KIND OF MAGIC" stammered Bubblegumfrog, "He told me so....it's from a magic place, far far away....he had to sail the SEVEN SEA'S OF RHYE to get that...it's very VERY precious!"
"oh for goodness sake!" yelled Courageouscockroach "if we are ever going to have a BREAKTHRU your going to have to listen to me and stop taking that elixir that that mysterious stranger gave you, it could contain ANYTHING! Remember last time when you just HAD to try the idiot pills? Bring it to my office and i warn you I WANT IT ALL" emphasizing the ALL with a slap round the head.
Bubblegumfrog the village idiot took off down the street running HEADLONG into Hitashi the evil witches's sidekick bunny who was proficient in the black arts as well as martial arts. She spun to the side flipping the idiot Bubblegumfroggy over her shoulder yelling."MAN ON THE PROWL!.....or should I said idiot??? WATCH IT DUMMY - bad enough wolves trying to wipe us out without your help".
Luckily the griffin sheriff Dragonfly had been watching the unfolding drama and arrived with Dragonslayer the jedi knight blacksmith to defuse the situation. " relax he is not the droid idiot you are looking for" rasped Dragonslayer. "the...."
Dragonfly clamped her hand over his gob "Its getting late people, i understand we are all UNDER PRESSURE right now but seriously... you all need to be getting home soon and securing all doors. Dragonslayer was busy making a sword though, and for a short while she stayed to watch him at work - it seemed so effortless and she relaxed some listening to the ringing of metal in between blows as she waited for the HAMMER TO FALL each time.
Waving the villagers away she noted Mockingjay the evil witch innkeeper and Esperare the mermaid artist stumbling drunkenly back into the village. The week before, these FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS had been cat fighting in the village square over a GOOD OLD FASHIONED LOVER BOY called Meustrus. "Aaah" Dragonfly thought to herself with a smile, "that CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE." They had both been covered in cuts and bruises and still looked like they'd gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson....proving the old saying - TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOU."
They were now best friends again, swaying down the street, arm in arm, singing snatches of a BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY before collapsing in giggles. "Seriously though," Esperare said, "apart from the damage to my scales that occurs every time I'm on dry land, I was thinking...you know....since YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND....and with you having magic powers and whatnot....."
"What?" asked Mockingjay, "Of course I'll help you if it's in my power...I'm just evil to everyone else! hahahahaha!" With this she threw back her head and laughed like a banshee, before suddenly whispering, "Except of course the Bunny....I have to be very careful not to upset the Bunny, she has access to dark powers I should not wish to fall prey to." Then brightening up..."Come on then - out with it!"
"Well...said Esperare, "I was hoping you'd use your powers to FIND ME SOMEBODY TO LOVE...." Dragonfly chuckled to herself as they passed and their conversation trailed off....
"FRIENDS WILL BE FRIENDS" she thought, but words needed to be had about certain peoples drunken antics. Tomorrow would be soon enough if all parties survived and like the rest she turned and headed for home.
NIGHT IS FALLING AND THE DISTANT SOUND OF BREAKING WOOD AND ANGUISHED SCREAMS FILL THE NIGHT. Eventually silence falls and those left alive fall into uneasy slumber wondering is it all over? and who didn't make it?
LIGHT HERALDS THE DAWN AND ONE BY ONE THE SURVIVORS OPEN THEIR DOORS ON THE GREEN THE BODY OF MRS MANGLES QUITE LITERALLY MANGLED BODY COVERS A SURPRISINGLY LARGE AREA OF GRASS. Bless she was a busybody but to die this way is awful still WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER ?.
