||||||||| Catherwood re-enters the Waiting Room and explains "This is the main discussion room which is logged each night."
||||||||| Catherwood announces, "The time is 4:32 AM - I now declare Thursday's chat log for May 12, 2022 officially open!"... and then, he retires back to the vestibule...
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, May 12, 2022 - I now declare alt.comedy.firesgn-thtre's chat officially open!" -- then he looks around at the empty room, looks at his watch, and mumbles "...am I early?"
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies llanwydd in through the front door at 8:00 PM, picks up his cues (only slightly scorched), and heads for the billiard room.
llanwydd: no problems here
||||||||| It's 1:30 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| llanwydd - dead from dengue fever
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood enters with LegacyTweeny close behind, mumbles something about disrupting his 8:00 PM tree-stunting plans, and rushes off to the Aviary.
LegacyTweeny: hello doc
||||||||| Catherwood ushers doctecazoid inside, makes a note of the time (8:00 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.
LegacyTweeny: Hi doc
LegacyTweeny: hellooooooooo
||||||||| A time machine materializes at 8:00 PM and Bottles sashays out, carrying a grape from ancient Greece.
doctecazoid: ok i see you tween
doctecazoid: bottlesw thanks
Bottles: I made it in.
||||||||| Not Ed bounds in at 8:00 PM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
Not Ed: Yo.
LegacyTweeny: here they come
Not Ed: Watch them laugh as they come in.
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Rufus_T_Firetween into the room, accepts an I.O.U. as a gratuity, mutters something about 8:00 PM, then departs.
||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and llanwydd falls out at 8:00 PM.
llanwydd: good evening folks
||||||||| DJTweeny tiptoes in around 8:00 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last night's "unpleasant incident."
Not Ed pokes the wall.
Not Ed: Seems real enuf.

||||||||| At 8:00 PM, LegacyTweeny vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!

llanwydd: was that Merlyn?
||||||||| The TV flickers on, and Ralph Spoilsport appears: "How can you drive in two places at once when you don't have a genuine Ralph Spoilsport license plate frame? Get one for your car and one for the plate in your head!"

Rufus_T_Firetween: I haven't talked to his family since last October
