As usual, no one had a clue. Well, three among them knew what was going on, and all they had to do was stay alive. At least, that was the idea.

For some time, no one seemed to stand out. Before long, names were being tossed out at random. Reactions were ‘analyzed’ and vendettas continued from confrontations long past. Most everyone knew where each other stood on the important issues, such as proper pairings, whether or not ‘procedurally’ is Will Wright’s favorite word, and of course how they felt about Day Ones.

What mattered most on a day like today was whether or not you stood out. Boromir88 certainly set off some fireworks, but then there was this CaptainofDespair, in full costume…

“What is that?!” someone queried.

“It’s a rat!”

“Eww, let’s kill it!”

‘Cluny the Scourge’ was too busy organizing his troops and preparing for his siege of Day One. “Day One will become forever known as ‘Cluny’s Day!’” the Captain was speaking to himself. “First toDay, then toMorrow…then the entire convention! All shall attend “Cluny’s Con” and serve the might of Cluny the Scourge in constant terror of his wrath!”

At the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned, and among the people coming towards him he glimpsed a robed, hooded figure. It was just like in his dreams! Cluny the Scourge reached for his barbed tail, his weapon of choice, but he could make no move toward anyone before death came crashing down in the form of a large ceiling light.

“Pip-pip, onk-onk!” Lalwendë addressed the newly deceased.

The other con-goers picked through the debris to see precisely what kind of creature they had smooshed.

“Yup, still looks like a rat to me.”

Jedi Master N’Rwen stepped forward, her lightsaber humming. She dutifully removed Cluny the Scourge’s head, and CaptainofDespair’s with it. It went rolling, and then Cluny’s face burst apart. Everyone looked to Boro, but he just shrugged. When the smoke cleared, they did not see the human face most dreaded and suspected. Fur revealed more fur...a darker fur.
