33 Apocalypse, Tuesday Early Evening

[raspberryturk]

The sun was just starting to sink through the sky, lengthening the shadows across the ground.

Through those shadows, other shadows emerged, hauling the remnants of their unsuspecting prey toward its final resting place.

Smoochy was dead.

And now he was going home.

Tyler lived on the first floor; he answered the door a moment later.

It took him a moment, through the darkness, to recognize the plush rhino. When he did, he had to take a seat. Whoever had done the mutilations had clearly been a very deranged individual.

... and he was going to laugh like hell.

"I think I lost any chance of a refund, buddy," he informed the rhino.

There was the sound of a doorbell and then laughing. Murdock poked his head out the door and spotted the ...

"What the heck is that?"

"My Halloween costume," Tyler answered, looking up. "It's the victim of a senseless act of violence."

Though he certainly didn't seem upset.

He wandered over and looked closer at it. "Or someone was tryin' to have a barbaque."

"I don't think it worked," he shook his head, smirking a bit.

"They forgot to skin the meat, if that's what they were going for," Tyler said, still giggling as he started to gather up the costume to take it inside. "Nice work on some of the butchering, though."

He laughed. "Yah, somebody's got talent."

"Want a hand with that?"

[tyler_gone]

It wasn't heavy, just a little awkward, but: "Sure," Tyler said. "Wanna get the head, and check the yard for any pieces of purple fur that escaped?"

[crazypilotman.livejournal.com]

There was a slight snicker. "I can do that."

Murdock hopped off the porch and wandered around the yard for a few minutes, collecting any stray bits of purple.

"Well, gotta hand it to 'em," he said, picking up the head. "They're thorough."

[tyler_gone]

"I know, I should give them an A+ on it," Tyler deadpanned. "Too bad I'm nto teaching torture."

He surveyed the pieces they'd brought in. "I think this looks like all of Smoochy."

[crazypilotman.livejournal.com]

Murdock just eyed him a bit over that comment. Torture wasn't exactly something he found funny.

"Cool," he said, putting the head with everything else. "Think you'll figure out who the culprits were?"

[tyler_gone]

Tyler didn't mind being eyed.

"I'll teach Friday with Smooch's head on my desk, see who looks at him funny."

"Draw the guilty party out eh? Sounds like a good plan."
