Deputy Dang: 👍
||||||||| At 8:00 PM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, Deputy Dang!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
llanwydd: Happy New Year everybody. good night.

||||||||| Beet - dead from the fiddlers
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Catherwood enters with BuzzyKrumhunger close behind, mumbles something about disrupting his 8:00 PM tree-stunting plans, and scurries off to the Aviary.
||||||||| "Hey BuzzyKrumhunger !" ... BuzzyKrumhunger turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 8:00 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
||||||||| Catherwood enters, and announces to all and sundry "It's 4:31 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."
