The goofiness and mingling that had categorized the previous day's execution had died a swift death after the morning's murders. Everybody realized that, hey, four people had died, not counting the lynch, and the mafia weren't going away. With that in mind, everyone buckled down and got to work - those who bothered working, that is.

Everyone except Elite Ferret.

Apparently not having got the message, this obviously coldhearted, callous, unfeeling individual quickly earned the ire of everyone around him by cracking (bad) jokes, voting for weird reasons, and generally ot taking the process seriously.

"You think this is something funny?!" one of the townspeople screamed at him. "You think that it's okay to laugh at four of us dying horrible deaths?"

The sand pit on the execution platform stirred for a second, as if making a comment on the number of people dead that was stated. Nobody noticed, however.

Instead, the town's bloodlust had been activated at the perceived attack on their values. In an instant, all of them seemed to change into farmers' clothing and brought out torches and pitchforks, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Kill the jokester! Kill the jokester!"

EF paled.

"Now, wait a second guys - hold on! I'll help you out! Really, I will! See, look - where'd you get that gun from? Didn't two of us die from shotgun wounds? Think about him, guys! Uh... guys? Guys?!"

It was too late, however. The villagers of the Kingdom of Peace and Love were in full mob mode and directing their wrath towards Elite Ferret, who scrambled up the execution platform and cowered behind Chief of Police Beirut.

"Beirut, please! You gotta help me out! This crowd... this... this is madness!"

Suddenly Beirut ripped his shirt off and grew a full beard.

"Madness...?" the Chief of Police said. "THIS... IS... SPARTA!!!"

Raising his right leg, he kicked Elite Ferret with the bottom of his foot, who fell into the torches and pitchforks of the angry crowd. They swarmed around him, shouting and cursing so loudly that even EF's screams could not be heard. When they finally calmed down, ten minutes later, Elite Ferret was simply gone. There were a few bloodstains on the ground as well as ash, but that was it.

"Wow," said Beirut, back to his normal self. "Impressive. I also want to thank you guys for helping me out there. You ee, thanks to the OBI's meddling, I didn't even have an execution planned. Anyway, go back to your homes and hope we made the right decision."
