Be Excellent To Each Other

Scene : Dark Alley

<A girl is walking alone, a van speeds up alongside her. The door opens, she is pulled inside. She screams>

Scene : A beaten up trailer

<The camera pans around a messed up bedroom. Empty bottles are everywhere. A phone rings>

Jock : Yeah, what is it

Voice : We have your daughter.

Jock : What?

Voice : We have your daughter.

Jock : What?

Voice : Are you fucking deaf or something?

Jock : I'm going to kill you, you scumbags, you maggots, you cheap lousy faggots.

<Jock jumps out of bed and runs out to his suburban. He heads out to save the day>

<clock starts>

<BEEP BEEP BEEP>



Actions sent to me by 10pm Tuesday please. If Jock interrogates sooner than that, then the next day will start sooner than the deadline if all actions are in, otherwise the deadline will stick.

Please check the rules thread regulary, but for today, here is what we know so far...

Kima is a fucking idiot and has been kidnapped.
Jock is going to do whatever it takes to get her back.

People in play.
Jock Bower.
Kidnappers.
FBI.
CTU.
Townies.
.

.


However, this is 24, anything can happen...


Rules of the game
You have each been given a role.
Days will last 24 hours and will finish at 10pm each night, or sooner if Jock picks a person to interrogate early and all actions have been sent.
If you have an action, you must have sent it to me by 10pm that night for it to count, as the next "day" will start immediately.
You can preload actions by sending me a list of what you want to do (with options depending on what Jock does if you like)
At the end of the "day" (or sooner) Jock will decide who to interrogate and tell the "town" Then shit will go down.
The players of the game become known as and when Jock knows, we are playing the game through his eyes, we know what he knows.

Can a mod sort the dead thread please.

Hello !

I cant see it in the main post but for some reason I thought we'd know who Jock was from the very start ?

Oh, hey! The news says some girl has been kidnapped. I'd happily trade a few girls a year to avoid extra-judicial torture in the name of freedom becoming a commonplace occurance. Still, if it makes us all that bit safer, maybe it is for the best. I don't know, who am I to say. Maybe I'm just a narrator sitting down having a cup of coffee whilst idly flicking throuhg my phone thinking "Why hasn't he texted?". A greek chorus, or a greek tragedy. I've elarnt that from an early age in life, such is my role in events.

You sound like a commie, that's what you sound like, boy.

What a terrible world we live in when a (presumably white, blonde and hot) young girl can be kidnapped in such a manner.

JUSTICE!

oh the poor girl!!!

A commie wouldn't kidnap your daughter. She's done enough redistribution of the wealth as it is, according to the graffitti on the wall of the bathroom I've just left.

TELL ME WHERE THE BOMB IS.

I do hope this poor girl will be rescued, ideally in a manner that breaks neither the US Constitution or any of the various treaties and international laws that apply.

Another commie! Now, where's my electrical flex?

I would like to see Jock hacksaw a guy's head off.

S'up?

I have no idea why Jock is hanging around here talking to us. He should be busy, or something.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

That sounds like TERRORISTZ talk. Where's Kima? Where have you taken her?

Where's Chloe when you need her?

Boop boop boo boooooo....

She isn't answering her phone.

I heard on the newswires that Jock, the super antikidnapping man is to interrogate smoeone by 10pm. I hope it is that GazChap person, he seems dodgy.

Where's Tony to be Jock's right hand man? And then end up turning bad unexpectedly? We need one of those guys.

Tony is on holiday in Portugal. He sent me a charming photo of him having tapas with 11 new friends.

You seem very well-informed, MaliA.

Almost as if you'd done a lot of scouting on people who might stop you kidnapping Kima!

*narrows eyes*

Hey, I keep my eyes and ear open. I seek inspiration for the novel I'm writing. This means i Sspend a lot of time looking out of the window.

You only have one ear?

Malc

Unfortunate superglue accident.

You cut your ear off and superglued it to the floor?

Yes. My father once told me to always keep an ear to the ground. In hindsight, he also said things like "Never tape a banjo to a giraffe", so I probably shouldn't have listened.

Why? Should banjos be taped to giraffes more often?

I reckon so, yes.

I am busy. Finding BAD PEOPLE to PUNISH.

As a nice, innocent non-kidnappy person I'm not entirely sure what I should be doing.

Er - keeping out of the way seems to be the thing.

There does not seem to be much happening - however given its day one there is not a lot of information out there to go on :-(

BTW does day 1 finish tonight at 22:00 or tomorrow ?

Judging by Jock's past record, being innocent and out of the way is likely to result in you dying horribly around hour three.

Also, the baddies will all be caught by the halfway point, before it is revealed that they were just pawns manipulated by an even bigger bad guy all along.

Phew. Being a townie i can look forward to watching Jock's exploits as he tortures the evils into submission.

I'm more inclined to believe that you're all actually bad guys. Or at the very least conspirators.

Given the narrator's past stylings, I'm fairly sure there's at least one secret role!

Fairly sure, or do you just know because it's you?

MaliA, your ear could be useful glued to the floor, you might hear the kidnapper's footsteps and be able to enlighten us all as to what sort of shoe they wear... Or how much they weigh, that might be useful too.

[Sekeret roll #3] Airplane

You are an airplane , when Jock picks someone to interrogate you can crash into the playfield however the <beep beep> stuff will flash up to warn people beforehand and everyone who has had their contract renewed will survive by hiding inside a hollowed out fake bomb

I really should go read the rules.

If day one does indeed end at 10pm tonight, quiet people probably want to start speaking, or it gets the flex.

TERRORISTZ

I'm pretty certain it's supposed to be 10pm tomorrow, no?

Also: has anyone seen my banjo? I swear I saw Mali and his giraffe hanging around it earlier...

I was going to hold on to this, (as I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing) but as I have no way of communicating other than through here, I may as well (as it's probably nothing anyway) but I wonder if Malia is trying to convince people he is Van Gogh for some reason or other?

I hope I haven't put my foot in it if he's a good guy, but I think it's more likely that he's reaching out to another baddie.

Malc

Can the bad guys not talk to each other then?

I really should go and read the rules...

I'd be surprised if they cannot. I'm only a townie hoping this nightmare for Jock will soon pass.

I'm thinking mole having to use contrived methods to talk to their puppet masters

Malc

Oops, it doesn't say! Errr.... *confused*

Am I being really dense, or is the only declared bad guy the kidnapper? I agree there are likely to be more than that, but still...

The kidnappers surely have to be able to talk to one another - I don't think it really makes any sense otherwise.

We don't know the number of kidnappers either - I'm going by the assumption that there's more than one.

The kidnappers are all tucked away not talking are they? Who's not piped up yet?

Also, did we get confirmed if it was 10pm tonight or tomorrow night?

It's tomorrow. *dejectedly puts away flex*
