Extract from the journal of Tabby Tokyo

Friday 15th February, 12:20 - I've survived 24 hours and my plotting for my targets bloody end is well underway...they shall not evade me. I've spent the last day looking over my shoulder and being highly suspicious of those I know as members of the Assassins ring. 5 deaths have been reported so far according to intelligence but that number could increase with every passing minute. Cherry Martini was tragically killed in a poison gas attack at her work place yesterday evening. Tragic, yes but advantageous to me and an assassin has no time for mourning when they have a contracted killer hot on their tail and a job to do. One more threat removed as far as I'm concerned, especially as we share an apartment.

Anyway, I must not linger in one place too long for their are assassins loitering around every corner. My weapons are ready and primed in case of any surprise attack. I'll update again soon if I survive the day...

Death night - Friday 15th February 2008

Friday 15th was a tangled web of backstabbing and mayhem .... 8 Assassins met their deaths, and one was excommunicated for a mistaken poison attack.

Of the four remaining Assassins, two were excommunicated at noon on Saturday for failing to kill their contracted targets.

As for the events of the Friday night ... I'm waiting to get proper reports from all involved before giving a full account of the horrific events which took place. Belladonna sent in a very accurate report of everything she had accomplished immediately prior to her demise. If anybody else could email me some details it would be greatly appreciated, because I want to hear about what happened from everybody's point of view.

In the meantime here is a rough outline of the night's events:

21:50 The Swede arrived at Totoro's flat. It was the Swede's birthday - Totoro handed him a present with 'Happy Fucking Birthday' written on the wrapping paper, but there was a gun hidden beneath it and in a muzzle flash the Swede lay dead beside his unopened gift. The Swede's target was El Casadoro ... he arrived at Totoro's flat shortly after and suffered a similar fate at her hands.

Down by the harbour in the Moorings Bar, HIV Unicorn was lamenting his failed assassination on Totoro at the tourist information board. (he had been disguised as the bearded hiker) - His story of woe was cut short as Gregg held his wrist aloft to reveal he had a bomb tied to it. He lit the fuse and waited for his martyrdom - HIV Unicorn ran for cover and Gregg managed to blow himself up along with several innocent bystanders. It was later established that he had actually been sent to kill Yellow Peril ... how he managed to fail on his suicide mission so badly is yet to be established.

HIV Unicorn was pleased to survive the suicide bombing, but knew that he was living on borrowed time because two Assassins were looking for him ... as it happened, Belladonna was the first to find him - at 22:33 she strode into the Moorings, cloaked and two guns blazing, riddling HIV Unicorn with waterbullets. She finished him off with poison lipstick, but that was just for fun since he was already extremely dead.

At approximately 23:15 on the other side of town, Tabby Tokyo was killed by a poison gas attack in her restaurant by the cunning Barracuda.

At approximately 23:30 Totoro arrived in the Moorings Bar - her target was Pasty Princess, but Belladonna had been lying in wait and executed Totoro with a shot to the back of the head - again there were multiple witnesses, since the Moorings clientelle were too drunk to flee the multiple shootings and bombings that were going on around them.

Now well and truly on a killing spree, Belladonna was informed that her next target was Pasty Princess, who was working behind the Moorings Bar. Pasty had been on edge all night and had several weapons hidden behind the bar, and a large supply of poison smarties to hand. Pasty Princess saw Belladonna coming at her ... she drew her gun and attempted to duck behind the bar, but Belladonna was quicker and deadly accurate. Poor paranoid Pasty Princess was plugged with a water bullet and died instantly



The next deaths involved a four way encounter between Belladonna, Smokin' Joe Stalin, Barracuda, and Khunti Baws - who by this time were all in the Moorings Bar. Belladonna's last report is currently the only record of what happened:

After I had dispatched Unicorn, I saw Smokin'Joe. After a lot of paranoid threats, we agreed to work together to dispatch our targets.Barracuda walked in (I was hiding behind the door, pistols ready) and we aimed at eachother - then we realised that we weren't out to kill each other and I created a seperate alliance with her.Then we noticed Kunti Baws. I approached him and he asked to borrow one of my guns - obviously I refused cause I could have been his contract. He swore blind I wasn't but I didn't believe him until I forced him at gunpoint to show me his contract: it was Barracuda. Smokin' Joe, my ally,was standing behind him and looked at me questioningly when he saw me looking at the contract. I nodded - I meant to shake my head, really! But Joe somehow got the wrong message and sprayed Baws with poison gas.However, he did this so sneakily that no one noticed. The only reason we know about it now is because he so gallantly owned up to it! Back to the action: I handed my pistol to Baws so he could shoot his contract (Barracuda) but was really just about to turn round and warn my loyal comrade but unfortunately I was too late: they both drew and shot at the same time. Somewhat inebriated, Baws missed at point blank range.

Barracuda on the other hand was sober (as befits a professional assassin) and defended against her own assassination by killing Khunti Baws with an accurate shot. Smokin' Joe Stalin was immediately exommunicated from the Assassin's ring for his attempted poisoning of Mr Baws - however he has earned significant respect for his honesty in this matter.

More from Belladonna's last report:

Standing outside, scheming, I saw fellow assassins approach, including Yellow Peril. I had actually been trying to get in touch with him since the start of the mission, as I had sneakily found out who had a contract out on him (sorry, Smokin' Joe... I did try to feel bad about all the deception but that would have involved feeling)

The above report was written around midnight - accounts suggest that Belladonna was planning on swapping intelligence with Yellow Peril, but before she could open her mouth he was shot through through the heart, or at least that's what he was aiming for, because at the autopsy it was discovered that Beladonna didn't actually have a heart).

Yellow Peril and Barracuda were the only ones left standing, and managed to establish that neither were each other's targets, so reached an uneasy truce. The other Assassins Badger 1 and Weapon X hadn't apepared, so with their work complete, they faded into the night. Badger 1 did indeed make an appearance at Cafe Drummonds later that night, but his target had long since flown the coup.

At 12pm on Saturday 16th February 2008 the high council of Assassins issued an exommunication order against Weapon X and Badger 1 for their inefficiency.

Now only Yellow Peril and Barracuda remain at large - both have til Noon on Monday 18th to eliminate each other.

Failed Assassintion Attempt

Time of attempted Kill: Late evening - Sunday 17th February
Target:Yellow Peril
Assassin:Barracuda
Location: A Bingo Hall
Witnesses: None
Description:
Further details have emerged in connexion with Sunday's failed assassination attack on Yellow Peril. It would appear that Barracuda tracked him down to the unlikely location of a Bingo Hall, where he was working as a caller. Details are still sketchy, but it would seem that after weighing up the risk of apprehension that would accompany such a public assassination of a Bingo caller at work, she decided that discretion was the better part of valour. If any further information arrives then I will be sure to add it asap.
