Following the earlier death of Chief Robinson, Sergeant Al Powell took over the command of the LAPD's forces on the ground outside of the Nakatomi building. This was good, because he was the only one who seemed level-headed. He also had gained the confidence of one of the people on the inside of the building who had gotten one of the radios from the terrorists.

"Hey pal, you there?" Al asked into the radio.

"Yeah man, I'm here. Things are really looking bad in here." the voice on the other end of the radio replied.

"Hang in there pal, we'll figure this out, and when we do, I want you to come join my family for Christmas dinner, you got it?"

"Sounds great. I have to go for a little bit now, but know I'm doing what I can to help. If I don't make it out, please tell my wife I love her, ok?"

"Pal, don't talk like that. You are definitely going to make it out of there, and you can tell her yourself. What are you going to do now?" Al asked.

But there was no response to the last message.

"Pal?"

Still no response.

Al decided to step out from behind his car and see if there was maybe interference with the radios. Radio interference was the last of his worries. Little did he know, but he unknowingly stepped out right into the line of site of one of the snipers up on the 32nd floor. A shot rang out and hit Al square in the face.

Up on the 30th floor, the hostages were getting restless.

"We have to do something" one of them said.

"If I can just get to my office, I have Joe's extra cellular phone hidden in my desk drawer" said Ginny, Joe's dedicated secretary.

Watching for a change in the activities of the terrorists, Ginny quickly ran for the office. Just as she got to the door, she found that it was locked.

"Where are my keys again?!?!" she said frantically to herself, fumbling through her purse trying to find them.

Just then, one of the terrorists came out of one of the other offices and saw her standing there.

"Hey, what do you think you are doing?" he yelled, and started to chase her.

They went through the hallway and up the stairs to the lobby overlooking the large office suite. However, once up there, there wasn't a good way down. Ginny was cornered up against the railing with no where to go. She tried to rush at the terrorist, to maybe startle him and get past, but he was too quick. They fought briefly, before he pushed her off. She flew backwards, tripped over the railing, and fell to the floor below. Blood from her heavily fractured skull splattered all over the catering cart that held the party's snacks.

Player: Josh Character: Ginny Role: Town Secretary Ability: As the town secretary, it was your job to coordinate the Secret Santa gift exchange for the Christmas Party. As such, you have been given a gift from each player before the party started. Each night, you will hand out 3 gifts to different people. Since you did not wrap the gifts, you do not know what any of them are. You cannot give more than one gift to a player over the course of the game. You can continue to hand out gifts, until all have been distributed (or all living players have received one) and you take the last one remaining. The gifts are numbered #1-#18. Win Condition: Standard Town

The group was stunned at the scene of Ginny bleeding out in front of them. After a couple of minutes, a couple of the terrorists came in and removed the body, in an effort to get the party-goers to calm down a bit.

Only once things calmed down, did the group decide on the best way to honor Ginny: they would distribute out the rest of the gifts for the exchange she worked so hard to set up. They slowly handed out the rest of the gifts, so that everybody would get one.

"For Ginny" one person said, raising their glass.

"For Ginny."

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The rest of the gifts will now be distributed. Please see the rules for the procedures. When it gets to your turn, you can either keep your gift or exchange it with someone prior to you. The exchange today will start with Buffy. Please post your action in the game thread, so the next person knows when they are up. If you want to open your gift, you need to send a PM to the mod, and it'll be opened immediately following the day's lynch.

Gift Order:
1. Penner - has gift from D2
2. Primate - has gift from D2
3. Buffy - keeps gift

5. Gmaj - keeps gift

WITH 13 PLAYERS ALIVE, IT'LL TAKE 7 VOTES FOR A LYNCH. DEADLINE IS AT 9 PM ET ON MONDAY.


NOTE: As of 8 AM ET tomorrow morning, Ahoda is in charge, so you will send any questions and all actions to him. I will try to check in as I can, but it'll be spotty until Friday night.

I just realized I forgot to send out night PMs. I'll do that now...lol

So I guess we know who Wikey is now?

Braking News From Fox News

Farlig continues to remind Buffy it is no longer day 1, nor was day 2 day 1 but Buffy doesn’t care since what Buffy “tweets” is infallible. Buffy also isn’t afraid to indicate she wants to stop the personal attacks yet the very next “tweet” post a condescending remark meant to be a jab at farlig, I mean how many times can one person say day 2 was a repeat of day 1 because of an unmentioned someone? When will farlig realize Buffy is always right and not even an impeachment can stop her?

What everyone did to TIB yesterday was just wrong.

So I guess we know who Wikey is now?

That is what you chose to post in response to Brian’s flip?

I guess we know wikey’s list is probably accurate response to Brian’s death.

Primate. Christian. IM.

Sup?

What everyone did to TIB yesterday was just wrong.

Yep. I went Christmas shopping and came back to TIB lynched.

I was thinking the deadline was 9 or 10.

Town needs to step it up today.

With Brian flip, I think that list becomes the focal point today.

Unless someone else produces something better.

Farlig, why can't you get your mind off of me? Did I hurt you really bad by calling you dumb? I'm sorry I've caused you such pain.

Havo @ 22/12/2019 20:17

With Brian flip, I think that list becomes the focal point today. Unless someone else produces something better.

Yeah, well I guess it was. That's really a weird role imo.

Well we need to cross-check both lists once Wikey shows up.
