After the sad (and unintentionally ironic) death of a Mason by shards of flying masonry, the noticeably smaller populace of Quantom's capital city gathered to argue the day out.
Many wanted to kill Archangel, for diverse reasons. Then along came Stanislaus, and suggested that perhaps they should lynch someone they could be sure wasn't going to blow them up, pointing a finger at Texcat. This resulted in a crows swarming him and crying "Heresy" while others held back, still casting aspersions elsewhere (at Archangel).
It wasn't until the sun touched the horizon that Stanislaus's calm broke. He jumped back and started running. His mob of accusers, caught by surprise, were a few seconds behind him as he ran across the square. Maybe this accounts for the fact that when he seemingly tripped and fell, converting that into an acrobatic roll and getting to his feet with a minimum wastage of time, no-one was close enough to capitalize on it.
After Stanislaus regained his feet, his posture changed; before he had been running with empty hands, now they were in front of him, clasping a brown cylindrical object looking like this.
He carried on running, now ducking, weaving and dodging to evade his pursuers. Running in a long arc, he curved back towards the others, now watching this performance with disbelief.
Texcat, always among the most fervid of his accusers, outstripped the others, catching him up and grasping at him just as he was passing Natlaw. She brought him down, but as she did so he twisted his upper body and pushed the object in Natlaw's direction. He instinctively reached out to take it. He had just enough time to see it was emblazoned with the words "Santo Special" before it exploded, finishing the day with a bang (just as it started) and ending the war.
At least for the three of them.
Stanislaus, the Rebel Martyr, has met his desired end.
Texcat the Rabbi, an Establishment Mason, has gone to her destined afterlife.
Natlaw the Mercenary has been wrenched from this life unexpectedly.
As the crowd began to disperse to their homes, they were witness to one last tragedy this Day. Kid Vermicious, who had been silent all Day, was arguing with a patrol of the Home Guard, who were out in force to ensure that the Day's deliberations went untroubled by the threatened terrorist attack.
"Look, I have to!" Kid Vermicious was saying. "See this telegram? My mother is dying! I have to go and see her, and that is the only way to get there.!"
The Guard sergeant replied "I'm sorry sir. My orders are that no-one is to go that way until sunrise Tomorrow. I can't let you down there, or I'll get shot."
"Just get out of my way." KidV snapped, pushing the soldier hard and sending him stumbling, to land on his backside in a rubbish bin, and stalking off through the stunned group of soldiers. "My mother needs to see me, and that's more important."
The Guard sergeant scrambled up, fury in his eyes. "Guards! Open fire! Bring the terrorist down!" The soldiers reacted automatically, bringing up their smallarms and cutting Kid Vermicious down in a hail of bullets.
Kid Vermicious, Establishment-aligned Vanilla Townsperson, has had to withdraw from the game and been modkilled.
