Something Fishy at the Guardhouse

The guard house had been quiet during the later hours of the night, after the afternoon death of a man at hte Silk curtain and the arrest of Cedric Ellington everything had quieted down, and so when a loud knock was heard near midnight on the door of the guardhouse, Burton the night watchman was annoyed to have his nap interrupted. He figured it was one of the patrolling guards, comming to punch out of their shift, or to pick somthing up they had forgotten.

He opened the door with a scowl, only to be greeted with silence and a fowl smell lingering in the air. "Skunkcabbage growing around here.." he mumbled, before looking down to see a medium sized box on the ground, and a note attached to it. He'd read the note first: Dear Guards. Important evidence of a secret crime. Take inside before opening due to sensitive nature of evidence. Love, A Concerned Citizen.

Puzzled by the meaning, Burton brought the box quickly inside placing it directly on Ranger's desk. He knew that the Captain would want to see this 'important' evidence. Satasified that he had completed this annoying task, he headed to a back room to finsh off his nap. Not a moment before he could step out of the Office, the Box gave a low startling shake and promptly exploded spewing the contents of the box all over the room. Fish heads, tails, and guts now decorated the walls, floor and desks of the guardhouse. Viritually every corner had reach thanks to the exploding box.

Burton stood in the midst of the smelly chaos, drenched in the gore, "They are not paying me enough for this shit.." he'd declare before promptly leaving the guardhouse, and the smell. His shift was almost up, and now.. it would be someone else problem. he would leave the door to the guardhous eopen, only to eager to escape the smell that by morning would intensify.

The note, written in a hurried script was left unharmed by the explosion, and was nestled just beneath a fishhead upon the Captain's desk, awaiting to be redisovered.

*looks around at the mess, his first reaction was anger of course, but after a while, and time to adjust to the smell, he cheered up, someone had gotten them good, no point in sulking over it done was done. So he started cleaning up, putting the fish guts into buckets, after a while he would sit and wait for his other guards to show up, as they did so he would pelt them with the fish guts from his bucket, what ensued was not quite a full blown fish fight, but ti was close enough to it, Rynn at least giving ack as much as she got*

*the Fun however could not continue for long, as Vincent showed up, and decided to be a pain in Ranger's ass, despite ranger's politely asking him to leave. The two captain exchanged words and finally Vincent did leave, after demanding Rynn be give back to the Ranger unit. Finishing up with teh cleaning, Ranger had already made arrangements to have all the fish guts carted away lest the guardhouse get an irrevokable lingering scent. He would make to sit down at his desk and figure out just what the hell had happened, Until Cedric Ellingon, a prisoner at the time, started complaining of having to deal with the smell, just one more pain in the ass Ranger cursed under his breath, slamming his office door behind him and examining the note, trying to figure out who it was tht had done this*
