Chimes went off up and down the halls and bustling maids pushed carts full of breakfast foods around in a dizzy. It was a wonder how they all worked choreographically, never hitting another, though always just barely.
Ms. Kitty yawned and stretched her little paws way out, extended her claws, and dug them into Scrambles' pant leg.
"Damnit" he cried out, trying to wrestle the little needles out of his skin. He got up and looked out the window. Still too early for any fighting, the landscape was calming and serene, with mechanisms opening and closing, rising and falling gently. But it belied a murderous aura. In one part of the field to the right, was a patch of pansies with what looked like a burn mark in a small circle.
He pressed a button.
"Can you please get the groundskeepers to check out the field. Part of it is off, and it's offputting."
He watched the security camera above the little shack where they kept the tools. It had become necessary to keep an eye there after it was noticed that someone had been stealing fertilizer. The little guards wrapped hoses around thier shoulders, some seed and other various tools and set off. It was not fifty paces before they all stopped in their tracks, dropping their equipment and making the sign of the cross as they sank to their knees.
The intercom went off.
"Sir, sir, one of our illegals just came back hooting about some phantasma."
Scrambles zoomed in on the CCTV to the spot in the grass. There, in between the sweaty mexican groundskeepers, was Olimar, he helmet smashed in and holding a pikmin in his hands.
Wonktonodi has been killed. He was Olimar, town jailkeeper.
With 7 alive it takes 4 to lynch.
Day 5 begins now.
