The players were awoken by Captain Locke, shouting to the entire ship: "WHO STOLE MY CUSHIONS!"
They all sat bolt upright in their beds, but the Mayor was the only one who looked both startled and frightened, an arrangement of luxurious cushions strewn across his bed. He was used to good living, as Mayor, and had crept into the Captains quarters in the previous day, with the soul purpose of getting some comfy bedding, walking right past the rifle that was put into play yesterday.
The rifle, which Tarrant had propped beside his bed, however, was now gone. He leapt up, looking around to see if it had fallen across the floor, but it was gone. He rushed out of his cell, shouting himself, echoing Captain Locke: "SOMEONE'S STOLEN MY RIFLE! SOMEONE'S BEEN IN MY-" ... He stopped in his tracks, and fell silent, before running out of the corridor to vomit. He had spotted the pool of lumpy, bloody vomit. Others rushed off to vomit too as this sight met their eyes, and were only spurred on to empty their stomachs as they passed Alex_Augmented's cell, seeing the bloody tatters of skin, and Arcc's cell, which was worst of all, which showed only a mash of open ribcage, a splintered snake of a spine, and what used to be Arcc's face, though it now looked like a mixture of jelly, raw meat, and teeth.
Bugman arrived later, limping and looking thoroughly cramped from a night in an air vent.
When they had all dealt with these sights, they met in the bar, to drink, and to vote once more; though they all felt they would consider the night much more carefully this time around. Captain Locke appeared, dressed in black pyjamas and with a snail riding on his shoulder, to tell them all the following.
"Well, it was an eventful night, though less died than I had expected. I hope you will take this day more seriously, and at least wait until the sun is sinking before you decide on a vote, no? My only regret is that so few died... Such a shame. I'll leave you to it then. May the second day commence." He began to walk away, but stopped and added, "And may I ask you to leave my bedding alone from now on. I'll allow you this one instance, but should it happen again, I'll flay the culprit and wear him as a cape from then on. Toodle pip!"
With that he walked through a wall, disappearing, taking a smoking pipe from his top pocket as he did so.
Begin: Day 2
