Yes! My guess was correct. Also, Internet Flea, nice try. If Lex-Kat had seen the message, you probably would have lived.

Yeah. I was hoping the day would be longer.
Bad day to try to defend myself; it was too early to claim when I left on my trip, and too late to survive when I arrived.

I'm certain Rabbit was being used by the horrible Obi-Wan, who was trying to trick me, too.

Stormtrooper 13 continues her search for her pet. She's made it to the core of the station. Mr. Buttons, where are you? She sees something in white run past.

Curious, she follows. Pew pew pew She jumps back, completely frightened as three shots are fired at her. This is not what I signed up for.

Shakily, she aims around the corner and fires three shots of her own. Murska murska murska.

She pulls her gun back and looks at it. Something must be wrong with it.

Deciding it's best to not be in a gun fight using a faulty weapon, Stormtrooper 13 heads to the repair station.

This, really.
He told me he was Vader, and I'm a good Trooper, so I listened v.v

Yeah, I don't actually suspect you at all. As I said though, I'm completely lost, but I'll switch to hap_hazard. Does that make you feel better?

Default Re: Ballad of the 503rd: Star Wars WW

Well, looks like I'm changing my vote again. For two reasons. One, to save myself, obviously. Two, I just realized how stupid I am. See, I voted for hap_hazard because I thought Cyberwolf was Vader. This is because I thought that yesterday RabbitHoleLost made an accidental vote towards Lex-Kat, an almost confirmed good guy. Hap_hazard took this as an oppurtunity to vote for RabbitHoleLost, so he'd not be voting for his rebel buddy Internet Flea, but also wouldn't be directly opposing the bandwagon. This was also reinforced, in my mind, by Cyberwolf voting for Hap_hazard, and I thought Cyberwolf was the seer. But, see, now I've PM'd TheLaughingMan and I have learned that the rebels don't know each other. How I missed this, I'll never know what with the droids being masons, which would be pointless if they all knew each other. So, my argument of Hap_hazard protecting his rebel buddys makes no sense if they don't know each other. And, my argument of Cyberwolf being the seer makes no sense since he just voted for me and I'm a good guy. Now, relooking over this thread, I have decided to follow Lex-Kat, an almost confirmed good guy, and vote for Murska. So, that's the reasoning behind all my switching. Sorry hap_hazard.

Last Night's/Part 1
Spoiler


Today's/Part 2:

Number Sixteen was hero for a day. Not only had he won that made-up game, but he'd also taken down the infamous Han Solo. He felt like floating on air. His spirits were higher than they'd ever been before.

Sixteen's past was shrouded in mystery, for many a trooper. Intelligence gathered stated that his homeworld of Alderaan didn't exist, and his quietness didn't help matters. All the 503rd really knew about him was his strange attachment to his lucky pendent, as well as his fondness for sniper rifles.

Truthfully, he'd just sort-of stumbled upon Solo. He had been in search of his lucky pendant, before remembering he'd left with Nineteen in the break room. He quietly crept out of the deck, and left in search of it. On his way to the break room, he found a disgruntled trooper trying desperately to open one of the doors. A cursory glance revealed him to be Nineteen.

"Nineteen!" He wasn't the brightest trooper.

"Oh god, not another one. Uh, what is it?"

"I need my pendent back. I know I said you could borrow it, but... I-I really need it back."

"Look, I'm pretty busy now, come back... some other time."

"But you don't understand, I need it. Right now."

"Good for you."

"Nineteen, give me that pendent."

"Go jump off the docking bay."

"NINETEEN!"

"It's just a worthless piece of junk anyways."

"What did you say."

"I said it's worthle-"

Sixteen clenched his fists in rage, and began to viciously attack Solo. His fists made hard contact with Solo's face, sending him reeling. The two continued brawling, with Solo losing consciousness quickly. As Solo laid out cold, the special ops arrived.

Back on the docking bay.

"For cripes sake, Sixteen, you could've gotten yourself killed. What were you thinking?"

"I-I needed that pendent back, it-"

"You must be ****ing kidding me. Go back to your barracks, Sixteen. I'll deal with you later.

Next time we come across a wanted criminal, we'll just throw jewelry at it and hope the local crazies go bat**** on him. I need a ****ing drink."

As Sixteen lay their in shame, his fellow trooper came up to him.

"Come to berate me too, eh?"

"No," Two answered. "Thank you."

"...What?"

"Crazy though you may be, you still took down a murderer and thief. You have my deepest gratitude."

The rest of the 503rd each thanked him greatly for avenging their friends, and even a few tears were shed by the hardened soldiers. As they left, Sixteen felt his spirits soar. He took the pendent from his pocket, and spoke softly:

"I've finally done something right, love."

As his punishment, he would have to watch over Solo for the next few weeks, while a sentence was deliberated. He had been doing so one such night when he heard a strange commotion. "Who's there?" he shouted. No response. He stepped tentatively towards the sound. His exploration was cut short by a fatal blow to the head.

"Chewy! You finally made it, you wonderful furball!

Quick, check his pockets for keys."

Chewy did as instructed. He found n keys, but he did find a pendent. It appeared to contain the picture of a lady.

"Keys, Chewy. Do those look like keys to you? No? Then go find them."

Chewy sighed, and went back into the darkness.

Summary

Nightshift Start. Night ends in 24 hours.
