Turkey Fight
Ilke: I was in the middle of a not-so-successful interrogation with Maxwell when the lights went out and we all heard a shout from the patio - "SO MANY TURKEYS!!!"
Stepping out to the back door, we discovered that the backyard was, in fact, filled with an usually high number of turkeys. Remembering what had happened to Maxwell's friend not too long ago, my first instinct was to attack them all in self defense, but not being one to jump to conclusions, I decided to wait and see how they behaved.
So far, they didn't seem to be at all aggressive. On a whim, I picked up a brick and threw it against a nearby tree to see if I could startle them away. The surrounding birds scattered for a moment, but didn't abandon their post - this was getting a little unnerving.
It wasn't long before they worked up the courage to begin approaching the house. Our new friend Brick didn't waste any time commencing the counter-offensive. In the mean time, I wanted to see if there was some way I could confirm whether they were really here after Maxwell. Perhaps not thinking entirely clearly in the midst of the panic, I decided the best way to go about this would be to grab Maxwell and push his head out of the window. I was actually a little relieved to see that all of the turkeys' heads immediately turned in his direction - it would've been rather awkward to explain myself if my theory hadn't proved true.
While I can't say I was overcome by a need to ensure Maxwell's well-being, I knew getting him out of there in one piece was my best shot to figure out what had been going on in the city. It turned out that one of his roommates had a car that we could borrow to make our getaway. I asked him to get the keys so that we could get out of the house. Apparently Becca felt she had a better plan, because without a word of consultation, she proceeded to grab Maxwell by the arm and pull him down the stairs.
A little unsure of what to do next, I decided to make myself useful by backing up Brick and Guy in the backyard...
