[Most posters think of the Heaven Board as a place of whimsey and fluffy bunnies, but behind the scenes there is backbiting intrigue! Forbidden passions! Secret crimes! Triumph over adversity! Let's tune in...]

Icarus/The Coot: ...I tell you, Heaven has to diversify, or we'll be trampled by the other Boards!

Belisarius < leaning back in seat with fingertips pressed together >: And I tell you that our poster base is solid. The worst possible thing to do is to start acting desperate. When another "Bible in Limerick" comes along, we will promote it appropriately--

Icarus/The Coot: I don't know what you have up your sleeve, but if you fall I'm not going to dragged down with you. When Viola was here--

< Belisarius slams fist on table; Icarus/The Coot is momentarily stunned into silence >

Belisarius: ...you will kindly remember that I am senior Host now < lip curls > and I plan to remain so < cue ominous music >...

One fluffy bunny hops across the set. She smiles whimsically at Stoo and Smudgie [Love] .

Belisarius, on the other hand is pinned to the wall with a basilisk-like stare. [Paranoid]

Just you try it on, sonny!

< Belisarius notices the bunny; after making sure no one else is around takes out cell phone >

Belisarius: Hello, Sarkycow?--I have a job for you...

< the bunny, overhearing, flees >

Smudgie: Aw, why did the bunny run away?

Stoo: I can guess--oh, if I ran Heaven < stares soulfully into Smudgie's eyes > it wouldn't be a heartless prison where the posters are just numbers. If I only had the chance--

Smudgie: Oh, Stoo! < tries to embrace him >

Stoo: Please, Smudgie! It wouldn't be right...

Dr Cosmo: Let's see what the Ecclesiastical Court makes of these photos, shall we?

Bp Rascal: You will not prevail Cosmo! When I tell them it was all on account of the Precious Blood I will be exonerated!

Belisarius: Time for some damage control...

< ducks out of thread containing Coot, Stoo, Spike, and ChrisT and returns to the secretly-located Board Announcer >

Belisarius <announces>: THE "WHO SHOT ICARUS/COOT?" THREAD IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED. IN COMPENSATION, THE PAGE LIMIT ON THE GAME THREADS IS NOW 15 PAGES.

This should give me some breathing space before Erin comes back...

Spike: Oh no! We're trapped!

Icarus/Coot <still raving>: I'll decide the temperature of the baptismal font!...

Stoo: This is madness! Does Belisarius think he can get away with this?...

ChrisT: Well, he might if he knows about your...you know...

< Mrs. Tubbs, Kingsfold and Doctors Multipara and Mr. Grumble appear >

Mrs. Tubbs: We couldn't get out!

Coot < twisting with fever >: Imbecile!--You probably have rayon in your cassock!

Dr. Multpara: Good Lord! Tatophilia in its advanced stages! < dons surgical mask > We have to get this Host to treatment before it's too late!

Kingfold: Would applying a precious raaaabbit work?

Stoo < pushes Kingsfold out of the way > I tell you, Belisarius has gone mad with power! If only Smudgie were here!--no, it's my solemn duty as a Host not to involve her in this danger...

*Two random Passers-By walk in wearing t-shirts, shorts and Jesus-sandals*

<1st PB> Look - that man's got an extra hole!
<2nd PB> Could be developing a stigmata
<1st PB> Nah - looks more like a gunshot wound to me...
<2nd PB> So who done it then?
<1st PB> I reckon it was that Wood fellow that shot him you know...

*The words 'Who shot The Coot?' appear briefly on the screen*

*The two Passers-By exit*

Sarkycow wanders through the thread. Tat demons leap from Icarus and she passes. They hiss and recoil, and eventually run spitting from the scene.

Sarkycow: My usual fee Bel.
