Be Excellent To Each Other

*Eats more pickled onions*

Mind if I have this seat?

I reached for a smoke and realised I'd none left. This was no good, I'd need to go get some. The nearest store was a fair bit away but I'd be back here by lunchtime.

I opened my coat to display my wares. Hurredly I zipped myself up, and instead indicated the many and varied selections of cigarettes I had secreted about my person

I couldn't bare this place yesterday. I came here to soak away my sorrows the previous day after the death of my business partner - you may have read about it in the newspaper. But not one hang dog saggy faced bum here wanted to listen, not even the barman.

He was a stand up guy, my business partner. A friend as much as a colleague. He was the brains of the operation. I had the dreams, he had the know-how, and we were on the way up. I'll never get there now, and I'm devastated. And now I have come down here to find out that two other good citizens if this fine city have met their end. What on earth is wrong with this place? Pour me another drink and hand me my hat.

I can't shake this feeling that Bobbyaro knows more about this than he's letting on. Why would he question how I knew the circumstances surrounding the deaths if he'd seen them in the news reports himself? Perhaps it was because he didn't need to read the news to know what happened...

He? I'm not that unattractive, am I?

I cannot make out if you're an ugly woman or a man, but I hate you.

Shellotape, huh... what kinda sick, preverted..

You ask a lot of questions, pal. I heard nothing from no-one, I've worked here long enough to ignore the things that go bump in the night, if you get me. *winks at DavPaz* The bodies showing up around here are bad for business but that ain't my bag, as long as it ain't me waking up dead it don't matter much to me.

You look kinda hungry there, I ain't fired up the grill yet but I might have a tin of sardines I can put on some toast. *sniffs* Christ, they're supposed to smell like that, right? *coughs* It'll be fine, you look like you gotta strong constitution.

Not at all. Can I get you a drink?

It's my job to ask questions, bub. We've got a crew of murderers working in this area. There's a fine looking widow with a fat wallet looking for answers. A fat wallet that I might be willing to share for the right information *winks*

But for now... sardines sound great.

I'm liking the flow of this tune, and the notes you've been hitting.

I reflected that it doesn't take a lot to get a man killed these days. A couple of people speak up, and he's in the dirt a few hours later.

I realised I was wrong about gosvpg, and his double life. But you can't make an omelette without cracking some eggs, and we need to crack some eggs to find the murderous filling of this particular omelette.

#This comment made me think#

I think you need to check your facts man, the denizens of this establishment are handing people to the cops. There's no lynch here.

Yeah, and when's the last time you saw someone come back? Naive fool.

Am I invisible or what?

#drowns sorrows#

Sorry I have been quite, but perfecting the skiffle takes practice...

Wow there are some good looking Dames in here.

*adjust glasses*

erm, well there are some Dames.

Looks like Alarm will get locked up tonight unless we suggest some one else.

To be fair there is not a lot to go on so far.....

What is Brown and Sticky?

A stick!

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.

I love that joke

The only thing we really can go on, unlike the mysterious prostitute, is that Goddess Jasmine, Alarm and Gilly jumped in after me, as the clock was ticking, to push the vote through after it didn't really gain much initial traction. I'd be considering them very carefully, as that's all we've really got, it's not a lot, but it's a toehold toward fingering these goons. They are the usual suspects needing rounding up.

Some impressive fence sitting here by people more accustomed to bar-stool sitting.

I'd bet my fretless bass that some of them are hiding something.

Well, I never! You sir, will not be in my next movie! Call yourself a barman, more like a murderer! This poor lady has committed suicide, and you insist it is murder, then you describe in detail the murder, and expect me to sit here and not question you! Why you are despicable!

Yes. I'll have to send it to a lab to be tested before I drink it, though.

govspg is a man, and as such, should be arrested before he touches another woman.

Why isn't anyone else voting to chuck Bobbyaro in a cell, huh? Twice now he's insisted it's suicide when the facts just don't stack up.

Hell, I'm inclined to throw him in the cellar with the rats for calling me a barman, doesn't that filthy slimeball know who I am?!

Know who you are? Of course I don't know who you are! Are you in the movies? Have you worked with the stars? Seen the bright lights? Experienced the magic of my films? Of course not! You are a lowly peon, perchance a murderous one, but lowly nonetheless. And as for your insistence that this is a murder; well, I say to you, I am looking for inspiration for a murder mystery film, I have produced some of the best murder mysteries in the business, do you not think I would recognise a murder if one had occurred?

Listen buddy, you might want to rethink what you're saying about me. I didn't 'jump in as the clock was ticking', I put forward a name for valid and stated reasons.
For a cleaning lady that gospvg was helluva shifty. For a start, I didn't recognise her even though she said she cleaned my offices. Secondly, I've worked a lotta cases and I've learned that when someone sends out confusing and mixed messages, their hiding something. I was damn shocked when we heard back from the cops about gospvg and I hope she gets another cleaning job in another place, the mad old bat.
I am suspicious of people who vote without reasons and for the reasons I mentioned earlier today I'm suspicious of GJ.
I'm gonna put my money where my mouth and hope this time we're luckier than a turkey on thanksgiving. [Vote:Goddess Jasmine]
#of that votes not right can someone fix it, I'm on my phone.

I can sort that out for you, sweetheart.

has nobody seen any of my films? I'm sure one of you must remember who I am...?

Kinda suspicious about your reasoning there. LS appears to be the only person voting without reasons around here.

Every single one of you scumbags that aint voted yet are looking helluva dodgy. Trying to hide vehond the new majority system.
Tomorrow in going to pick the first person I see who hasnt voted ob the first two days and stick then into the mix as a potential baddy.

I gave my reasons.
Who wants a drink, its happy hour.

Wow.. yesterday I suggested you and GJ could be in cahoots and you respond to my GJ vote with that?!listen folks, check back what I said (either yesterday or first thing today I can't remember)
I think your more a risk than anyone else you sneaky smarmy Hollywood type [vote:bobbyaro]

Would someone else vote for this sucker so I can kick him the hell out of my club?

Are you trying to save Alarm, for when your mafia buddy Goddess J turns up and votes for Bobbyaro, he'll go to the big house, leaving the villainous triumverate to continue with their nefarious deeds?

Outing a man for poor reading skills seems pretty poor reasoning in my book. I'd rather see that Alarming type fella take a dirt nap, personally.

[vote:alarm]

*runs fingers through greasy, unwashed hair*

Look, these burgers are starting to stack up here, where the hell's the waitress?

Hey you, movie guy, I don't do smoothies and I don't know what an avocado is so you're outta luck. I'm suspicious of anyone who drinks their lunch and he's been going on about suicide and murder mysteries...? This town was fine until the film crew arrived, the only trouble was when the drunks got handsy with the girls and maybe a bit of food poisoning but nothin' like what's been going on now.

[vote:Bobbyaro]

I'm a woman, you bitch.

This goes beyond poor reading skills, dude. Even after already pointing out his glaring mistakes he's insistent that it's suicide.

I can forgive any man if he admits his mistakes. Hell, I had a misspent youth before I cleaned up my act and took over this club from Big Barry Shabaka. I'd still be living out of a gutter if he hadn't noticed me when I was younger and looked past my mistakes to see my true potential.

So why would he be doing that? Any logical reason for a bad guy to determinedly argue that it would be suicide?

Why was there cellotape over the cuts?

[vote:bobbyaro]

Somethin' ain't right there.

That's it?

Well, I'm swayed by gazchap's argument, put it that way. Also: swaying.

Gilly, I voted for gospg yesterday for the same reason you did, Bobby hadn't done anything at that point to make me suspicious of him. I needed to leave for band practice and knew it was my only chance to get my choice in.

I'd better hope he's a bad guy or I'm gonna have to find me a replacement to run the club.

Gazchap's argument is rubbish. A bad guy would be an idiot to start shouting stuff about the cause of death that's quite clearly wrong.

"Do you know who I am!"

Bobbyaro is pulled from his chair and dragged to the cells. It seems nobody did know who he was…

Still, at least he might get a movie idea out of all this.

Bobbyaro was a Movie Producer, and also a Townie
