||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and pipes up "Presenting 'KenM', just granted probation at 12:12 AM", then leaves hurriedly.
||||||||| It's 12:25 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| KenM - dead from jaundice
||||||||| PissFest - dead from intense demonic possession
||||||||| FrenchFrankBaum - dead from the common cold
||||||||| Svenning Archery - dead from pneumonia
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood enters with Rono close behind, mutters something about disrupting his 3:54 AM tree-stunting plans, and hurries off to the Aviary.
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 4 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| It's 4:10 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Rono - dead from jaundice
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood strides up and pipes up "Presenting 'katmandowop', just granted probation at 4:30 AM", then leaves hurriedly.
||||||||| Catherwood enters, and announces to all and sundry "It's 4:32 AM, time to change the log file and clean out unused rooms; please exit the chat room for a minute or two. Thank you for your patience."
