||||||||| Around 8:00 PM, Tweeny walks off into the sunset...
||||||||| Catherwood strides in with a trumpet, plays a fanfare, and proclaims "Nine PM on Thursday, March 20, 2025 - 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?"
||||||||| 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 Beet falls out at 8:00 PM.
Beet: Good Evening, folks.
Beet: Oops, too early.
Beet: Anybody out there?
Beet: This is a very lonely waiting room.
Beet: I don't think this has happened before.
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood intones: "8:00 PM and late as usual, it's Deputy Dang, just back from Elmertown."
Deputy Dang: Sorry I'm late!
Beet: Hello, Deputy!
Deputy Dang: Howdy, Beet!
Beet: Most everybody is late.
Deputy Dang: It looks it.
Beet: Now, I just recalled Cease is in Vegas and we probably won't be hearing from him.
Beet: And Tweeny is automated and won't be joining us either.
Deputy Dang: Ah, I had forgotten about Cease's trip.
Beet: He's probably enjoying some gourmet quisine as we speak.
Deputy Dang: I've been to Las Vegas a few times, over a decade ago. I had one really good meal, but didn't appreciate it.
Beet: Never been there.
Beet: I haven't heard this performance before.
Deputy Dang: It's new to me as well.
||||||||| llanwydd enters at 8:00 PM as Catherwood takes their hat and goat and rushes off to the Haberdashery Barn.
llanwydd: good evening folks
Beet: Hi, Llan.
llanwydd: catherwood, get everybody a glass of meat
||||||||| Catherwood gets everybody a glass of meat.
Beet: yum
Deputy Dang: Howdy, llanwydd!
Deputy Dang: Is this pork?
llanwydd: how can you not appreciate a really good meal dang?
llanwydd: cease said he will try to join us if he can
llanwydd: I once joined the chat from a hostel in new york city
llanwydd: far from where I lived
||||||||| Catherwood interjects: "I hate rich people. I hate them and their stupid problems."
llanwydd: I dont hate anyone but I hate their stupid problems
Beet: There are many problems in the stupid category.
Beet: I imagine that there are so many distractions in Vegas, he might not even think about the chat.
llanwydd: cat goes there for the food
Beet: cat food?
llanwydd: I first heard this music in werewolf of london
llanwydd: years later on pink hotel
llanwydd: anybody know the significance of the name Beason?
Beet: They use that name in Gient Rat as Homeless' Dr Watson substitute.
Beet: Giant
llanwydd: I know, beet but has there ever been a real Beason?
Beet: Doon't know.
Deputy Dang: I don't know of any.
Beet: Don't. Can't spell tonight.
Deputy Dang: You spelled tonight just fine.
Beet: Thanks for the encouragement
llanwydd: I can spell any night
||||||||| Catherwood walks in wearing his pyjamas, yawns, and mumbles "It's midnight here in New York city"...then he falls over and starts snoring loudly..
Beet: It's Virtual Tweeny!
Deputy Dang: Sir Valance, Sir Vile, who's next?
Beet: Time to go. Nice to see you guys and I'll see you next week. G'Nite.
Deputy Dang: G'nite, Beet!

||||||||| Cease sneaks in around 8:00 PM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last week's "unpleasant incident."
Cease : Anyone still here?
Cease : Oh well, see you here next week
Deputy Dang: I'm here, Cease!
Deputy Dang: llanwydd and Beet were here earlier.
Deputy Dang: I hope Vegas is pleasing you!
Deputy Dang: Thanks, Tweeny!
||||||||| Deputy Dang leaves at 8:00 PM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 1 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
||||||||| It's 1:00 AM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
