Post 853 of main thread.
For some reason, Chief of Police JuJuBee had a Bruce Springsteen song stuck in his head. He wasn't sure of the exact title, but knew it was one of The Boss's earlier tunes, maybe even predating Born To Run. The connotations were completely off, the song had something to do with teenagers going down to a spot called Greasy Lake to party. Nevertheless, the song was there to stay, and as JuJuBee mourned the loss of his backup Judy Garland shrine and counted the votes for the 11th time (and there were only three this time, thank God for small favors) the tale of Hazy Davy and Crazy Janey spun through his head.
The dance had begun for the last time, this time a troika between Angelo, Emilio, and Fat Tony. It began normally enough, with the latter two immediately accusing each other and dropping votes against each other. This left Angelo in quite a powerful position, but in a bit of gallows humor (it seemed that even after 11 days of torture, Angelo's spirit was not yet broken) Angelo self-voted, if only temporary. That's when the troika began to spin faster.
After a time, the partners changed. Angelo, perhaps realizing that now was not quite the best time for gallows humor, took his vote and put it on the ever-quiet Emilio, who had remained a consistent if not very vocal presence throughout the mafia attack. For the first time, Emilio was in serious danger of being lynched. However, the partners weren't done changing. As the imaginary music sped up (both in JuJu's head and the metaphorical music of the danse macabre), Emilio moved his vote over to Angelo, his sense of self-preservation apparently overriding anything else. Angelo, now after 11 days finally starting to get nervous, moved his vote over yet again, this time to Fat Tony.
In the short time remaining of Angelo's life, he reflected that this was probably not a good move. The reason was that his vote was now on the one person who had still yet to make a second move in the dance. As the three continued whirling around, there was more discussion and the wind, as always, seemed to swirl around all three of them, having its say. Finally, Fat Tony made his move, switching his vote from Emilio over to Angelo.
The music stopped, the dancers done for good. There was more discussion, but JuJuBee knew that there would be no more switching of votes. It was pointless. Hoping against hope that Fat Tony and Emilio had gotten things right, he moved over and took Angelo by the shoulders, Angelo who had survived so much, Angelo who was now finally condemned to guilt. He looked over at the two survivors. Fat Tony was wearing an expression of relief that it wasn't him. Emilio's face was unreadable. He had retreated, disappeared once more back into the shadows which had been more or less his home for the past 11 days.
"Angelo," JuJuBee said simply, "Your fate." And there it was, right on the execution platform: a tank filled to the brim with two things: water, and several sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads. The sharks started to swim faster, involved in a dance of their own, almost as if they knew what was coming. JuJu leaned over the tank, produced a needle from somewhere, and poked his index finger once with it. A single drop of blood splashed into the tank, enough to send the sharks over the heads. A couple of laser beams fired off in the distance.
"In you go," said JuJuBee, pushing Angelo, also known as TheLastDays, into the tank as the sharks quickly went to town on his corpse. He hoped that this execution would meet up to old Beirut's standards, Beirut whose legendary axe was still missing from his office. He hoped a search would have it produced in Angelo's house.
JuJu stood alone atop the execution platform, looking off into the distance, staring out at the nearly-empty town. In the more immediate foreground, the two remaining villagers, Crazed Rabbit and Kagemusha were staring each other down.
