||||||||| Tweeny hurries out the back door as Mayor P'nisnose blasts through the front door holding a shotgun and shouting "Where's Tweeny?! It's 8:00 PM and my ballot boxes haven't been stuffed yet!"
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, May 02, 2024 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!" -- then he looks around at the empty room, looks at his watch, and mumbles "...am I early?"
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies morlog in through the front door at 8:00 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.

Cease: The palm of your mind. Good one, Tween.

Beet: Hi, Tween, Deputy, Cease, JZip, morlog
JZip: I really don't get enough exorcism in my daily life.
morlog: hi, i like cheese and cheese accesories
||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and llanwydd falls out at 8:00 PM.
