Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

Using only four words per post, finish the story began by the title bar.

Rules:
1) You only get one post in a row. After you post, someone else MUST post before you post again.
1a) This person cannot be the same person twice in a row (ie if I posted, then Sam posted, then I could post again, but Sam would have to wait for Fred to post after mine before he could post after mine again.)
1aa) This is to prevent storymaking between two people going back and forth for many many posts at a time.
2) Have fun with it. Make it interesting
3) All characters must have the same name as either a former or current member of the board board, or a writer.
3a) If you want to use someone from this board, make sure they have a reasonable number of posts, let's say >20.
4) Occasionally, I will take the whole story and put it into one post
5) You may only use ONE punctuation mark per post. This means that you can only use one quotation mark, and someone else has to end it.

hey, can it be wet blanket and Coggers?

Nope. That's against the rules.

Now, continue:

Really? Oh, all right.

"of its own guilt."

It was upset that
