Scrooge cancels Christmas for thousands!
The infamous businessman, Scrooge [10], attempted to cancel Christmas once again for thousands of citizens in Torn. After the mayor of the city, Chedburn [1], called for a mass uprising against the public figure, hundreds of people rallied together in the streets of Torn in an attempt to bring the miser down.
Snow was falling at the city gates. The forums were abuzz with Christmas competitions and gift exchanges. The entire Torn community seemed, on the whole, to be full of festive spirit and cheer. Ebenezer entered the city, taking residence in Torn's North Side (where most of the markets are located) a few days before Christmas Day. Rumours swirled and Number Ten was attacked before the public even knew of his presence - those in the know wanted Scrooge's infamous snow cannon for themselves.
After several citizens turned up in hospital, brutally injured and covered in the dust of exploded snowballs, an official response from the Mayor swiftly followed.
A $100,000,000 bounty on the penny pincher's head - and additional rewards for those that helped bring Scrooge down.
The earlier attacks suggested that Scrooge would prove to be a strong and worthy adversary. Clearly, random and lone wolf hits were not going to take this powerful holiday-killer down. Again, the citizens took to the forums and got organised. A huge crowd marched on the house of Scrooge. Young, old, rich, poor - all came to the North side in order to bring him down. Equipped, however, with his powerful snow cannon and diamond icicle, Number Ten stood strong and fought hard for nearly three hours before the citizens grew weary...
...and retreated,
exhausted,
embarrased...
planning to regroup.
Attacks began at 8:00 PM on Christmas Day and continued until 2:00 AM on Boxing Day. Deep into those early hours of St. Stephen's Day, Scrooge began to show weakness, but refused to die. Unexpectedly, the Torn Police Department arrived in force and surrounded Scrooge's house, breaking up the fight. Eyewitnesses claimed to see Mayor Chedburn bundling Ebenezer into an armored vehicle and driving quickly away. The Chief of Police announced that those involved in bringing down Number Ten would be rewarded as soon as humanly possible.
Just before 3:00pm, our Mayor made an announcement - those that had made the most attempts on Scrooge's life were to be rewarded richly, as well as those that contributed in the final moments of the surge. The police had taken possession of Scrooge's rare snow canon and discovered two more from his hidden armory. These fine weapons were awarded to Henkiepuk, ColdDeadFingers and Butters - the "big three" who made the most attempts on Scrooge's life. In a final humiliating display, even his clothes were taken from his back and distributed to those that helped finish him.
Scrooge was finally defeated - a momentous day in Torn history.
Will we see the man who brought the city to a grinding halt again? That remains to be seen; however, it is reassuring to know that we citizens are able to band together and protect our streets when we are threatened...
...or when there are cool rewards up for grabs.
