Capo di Tutti Capi IV [Concluded]

[Erebus]

I'm also quite interested in the number of "first-time voters" that have popped up.

I can't help but be a little suspicious. Did Seamus send out messages of impending doom? And the three to die last night were the only ones not to respond. Or was it a matter of no votes + no night actions?

Or maybe Seamus was worried about killing a power role or two?

Also who did Autolycus replace?

[Choxorn]

To make it official:

Unvote, Vote: Diamondeye

[Choxorn]

:facepalm:

What I meant to say was, Unvote, Vote: Ishmael

[BillMc]

Select: GH
Vote: Ishmael

[Ironside]

EDIT: Also, if anybody wishes to join the Socialist Democratic Workers' Party of Fatlington, please let me know via PM. No scum or incorruptibles, please.

Tut, tut. All this persecution of political minorities. Your so-called 'democratic' society should be ashamed of itself. Good thing the communists will teach you a lesson in about 20 years time .

On the contrary, we will keep our democratic priciples, even in times of great crisis. I suppose things like voting has no place in your socialistic version. And dissent are "rewarded" with the hammer and the sicle. Xenoneb was never a member of your party as well, in fact there's never existed such a person, I assume?

Why do you want to lynch someone for no particular reason?

[Seamus Fermanagh]

“Hey! Hey!
When the enemy invades our soil
And plunges our people into turmoil
Will you sing the battle cry?
Will you hold the line?
When the battle seems to tough to win
Will you ante up and kick in?
I gotta know will you hold the line?

Or will you do the same things you do?
Sit around and act the fool
Spread lies about your fellow man
Causing trouble again and again
Well you wear the right clothes and you walk the walk
But I'm about sick of your clockwork talk
When the enemy seeks out our women to stalk
Will you hold the line?
No you'll just do the same things you do
You never hold a job longer than a week or two
Fighting with your fellow man
Causing trouble again and again
Its time you start acting smart
What's all this talk about an upstart?
You aren't in the battle or playing a part
Unless you hold the line!”
… “Hold the Line” from The World Needs a Hero
… B. Haizlip (Better Dead Than Red)


7:31PM Wednesday 2 November 1951
The Executive Meeting Room (Small Ballroom)
Fatlington Convention Center
Fatlington, New Jersey


“Well, that’s the total then…” mumbled one of the tallyers, supervised by one of the Director’s ‘squadies.’ The officer spoke quietly with Generalhankerchief, who nodded and whispered to the officer

“Everyone will remain here for a few minutes,” said the officer. His squad mates had drawn their revolvers and were guarding the doors….and the committee.

Director Hankerchief once again departed the Executive Meeting Room without making excuses or apologies to anyone. Unlike the previous day, however, the Director's absence was short, and he returned to take his position at the front of the room in fifteen minutes. His lapel looked like it was bulging a bit in his otherwise stylish suit, but nobody said anything about it. Everybody had other things on their minds.

Several people especially had more reason to sweat than others. They had seen the previous day's executions courtesy of the Director. Everyone now lived in fear of another visit to Club 30, but the Director saw no reason to take them back to that place so soon. He would keep the Committee on its toes. Finally, the Director closed voting, and after a brief delay, announced that Ishmael was the lucky Committee member of the day.

Ishmael's eyes started darting around, looking for something in the room. A reprieve? An escape route? Friendly gazes? The most he got was a couple of sympathetic looks from some other Committee members. Everyone else was avoiding looking at him. Ishmael might as well have already been dead.

Slowly, agonizingly, he made his way up to the front of the room where the expressionless Director was waiting, his hands inside his suit fumbling for something. After a few seconds' struggle, he took out what was the source of the bulge in his suit: a medium-sized, unmarked spray can. Taking the can in his hand, he started spraying Ishmael without any fanfare. Ishmael, whose emotions were already at the breaking point, finally lost it while the Director was in the process of spraying.

"What?!" he said, voice regularly cracking, "What's this can for? What's in it, eh? Another hallucinogenic, like you did with MRD at Club 30 last night? Am I going to run around and look for the doors and not find any, and then go so crazy that I kill myself? Where are you hiding the chainsaw this time?! What's this stupid spray going to do to me???!?!"

The Director regarded Ishmael as he finished spraying. Ishmael's entire body was now coated in the mystery stuff. "This spray isn't for you," he said calmly. Ishmael could only goggle at the Director, his face in an openmouthed expression of surprise.

"It's for the tiger."

And then everything started happening very quickly. At the exact same instant, Director Hankerchief took several exaggerated steps backwards from MRD, and on the other side of the room the ballroom's doors burst open as everyone saw the Director's four scantily-clad female assistants struggling (and failing) to hold back a very large, very hungry Bengal tiger. Everybody screamed at once and started running around, but despite this general commotion everyone was still able to clearly hear the tiger roaring and struggling to break free.

"I suggest everyone stay as far away from Ishmael as possible," Director Hankerchief yelled over the din, still appearing as unfettered as ever. "He has been sprayed with 'Essence of Raw Meat', making him a very irresistible meal to certain predatory species like Fred here. Very soon now I expect Fred's need to feed to overcome my poor assistant's valiant efforts at keeping him -" *SNAP!* At that point the tiger broke free, proving the Director right and causing complete pandemonium in the ballroom.

"...tethered." Director Hankerchief finished to himself, but nobody was able to hear him over the general screaming, clatter of feet, the tiger roaring, the assistants slamming the doors and getting out of there, and chaos of most of the chairs in the ballroom being overturned at once as everybody tried to get away from the tiger as quickly as possible.

All semblance of order and thus the ability to properly narrate the scene broke down at this moment. Unlike the previous night's choreographed carnage, confusion and cacophony and chaos reined supreme today. The tiger, free of any restraints and ravenously hungry, saw a room literally full of food. The mass amounts of panic present in such a confined area only triggered his animalistic "sixth sense" which only added to his bloodlust. However, one thing overpowered all of Fred's other senses. On the other side of the room was something that was positively reeking of raw meat.

Paying no heed to the cast-aside chairs or people running around and screaming, the tiger bounded to the front of the ballroom, clawing a few people and causing numerous minor injuries but otherwise not fatally harming anyone until he saw his target: Ishmael, huddled in the corner, shuddering and making the sign of the cross over and over. The tiger, paying no heed to this invocation, pounced and tore into Ishmael, finally providing enough space for the rest of the Committee to hightail it out of the ballroom without further damage.

Twenty minutes later, the only beings still present in the ballroom were Director Hankerchief and the tiger, as Ishmael had quite literally ceased to exist. The Director was absentmindedly stroking Fred's ears and feeding him biscuits, not even noticing the large amount of blood and torn clothing on the floor around them.

“Oh, and thank you everyone for vesting your trust in me once more.”

Why do you want to lynch someone for no particular reason?

He's got a fever... and the only prescription, is more lynch mob.
