event: cream of the cop
[Beginning Monday morning, posters go up all over town!]
[That's right, folks. There's a new sheriff in town, and he's making some changes around here! As police chief, the Milkman will be working double duty. Every morning beginning on Tuesday, he'll be delivering a half dozen fresh bottles of milk straight to your front door. Once he's done, he'll be making the rounds as police chief. Oh, and by the way, he's taking that new law about drinking your milk very seriously.
As we all know, what's inside that bottle doesn't necessarily do a body good. The milk bottles the Milkman delivers may contain any of the following, although what is inside won't be obvious from looking:]
Spiders: The bottle contains any number of spiders. Their bites may or may not cause an outbreak of hives.
Razor Blades: You won't notice these until after you've already started to drink. The odds are you'll cut yourself pretty badly, but this may or may not kill you.
Poison: Drinking this milk will make you very sick. It probably won't kill you. Symptoms are flu-like and may include irritability, high fever, or a tummy ache.
Grade A Poison: Drinking this milk will definitely kill you. It will be a slow, agonizing death.
Extra Fortified Poison: Drinking this milk will have you dead within a half hour.
Special Milk: There is definitely something special in this milk. May cause hallucinations, feelings of well-being and relaxation, euphoria, and alteration of consciousness. May also cause paranoia, terrifying visions, and fear.
Hormone Free Milk: This milk causes intense mood swings, causing the drinker to rapidly switch from a whole range of emotions from blissful happiness and love to despair or violent rage.
Ordinary Bottle of Milk: Well, didn't you luck out?
[But everyone in Mayfield knows not to drink the milk, don't they? Well, this time, you may not have a choice. If, when making his afternoon rounds, the Milkman feels a household is not obeying the law, he will drone one member. And the Milkman's dronings are different. While they, much like ordinary dronings, will cause a person to believe themselves to be a cheerful Mayfield citizen, it will also give them the compulsion to kill as many people as they can.
This can be avoided if just one non-drone family member drinks a bottle of milk. The Milkman won't be fooled by pouring out bottles or hiding them, but one bottle per day is all he asks. Otherwise, well, the Milkman's dronings wear off every night at midnight! And the next morning, fresh bottles of milk will be delivered so you can try again.]
This event will involve a lot of plotting with your household, so please use this post to do so! Make a comment with your address in the header and the names of your family members in the comment. The Milkman will only drone one member of the family per day, and only if no one drinks any milk, but please be willing to accommodate what the members of your household want to do. If a household does not want to participate, it is perfectly fine to say that the Milkman will just happen to skip over your house when he does his dronings, or that someone in the household drinks the perfectly ordinary milk.
This event begins Tuesday morning, but we're putting the details up tonight to give you time to plot. The event will last through August 21, so you may plan for that many days.
