1-8-2008 And the Plot Thickens

<JasonBox> sigh

* matthouston is a brash rookie cop who won't play by the rules.

* beanfootage is a straight laced veteran about to retire.

<matthouston> I've got an idea.  It's so crazy it just might work.

<matthouston> Let's break JasonBox's illicit Ocala flan monopoly wide open!

<matthouston> It's gonna take all we got.  And the police chief won't like it.

* ledge gruff, streetwise old Captain with a heart of gold

<matthouston> omg, the flan dealers just shot the Captain mostly dead!

<matthouston> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

<ledge> Aye lads, I done had a good stretch 'o years, so don't ye be worryin' about me.  Ye jest get out there an' ... an' ... GAK

<matthouston> leeta: Are you in?  Can you risk everything to bring the syrupy sweet trade in flan to its knees?

<ledge> Faith, I only be mostly dead...

<matthouston> Just die already so we can get to the shootout!

* matthouston leeta> matthouston: Sweet! I want one.

<ledge> If only there were a cute and plucky kid te' accompany ye to the shootout!

<matthouston> leeta: You mean, you're siding with the flan dealers and are taking bribes of flan?

<ledge> Perhaps one of a dif'rent cultural and urban background than the two of ye.

<ledge> Aye kin see there'd be many a humorous misunderstandin' betwixt ye in that case.

<ledge> Begorrah!  I think I be mostly almost all dead now!

<ledge> GAK!

<ledge> Oh, one last thing, if it be my dyin' wish, that crotchety old police chief, tell 'im I'll see 'im in 'ell!

<ledge> GAK!

<matthouston> The autopsy reveals he had been eating FLAN ALSO!

<matthouston> Dum da DUH!

<ledge> The autopsy further revealed that, despite speaking with an Irish/Scottish/Pirate brogue, the gruff but lovable old police Captain was in fact from South Korea!  Dun dun DUNNN!!

<ledge> Could this be the asian flan connection they were looking for?

<ledge> STAY TUNED!

<beanfootage> damn.

<Umber_Bulk> wait, he hasn't been chased down a hallway by a firey explosion yet.

<next day>

<Umber_Bulk> that's all part of a chase sequence involving a late model chevy, a stack of cardboard boxes, a fruit stands, and a helicopter that explodes after it crashes behind a hill.

* ledge dreams of one day breaking up that South Asian flan trade racket

<ledge> don't forget the plucky and independent but still vulnerable blonde woman who has to trip and fall as she's running away from the explosion with you, which means you have to run back and pick her up as you leap away

<THE END>
