A night of peace, love, unity, and respect is marred as accusations begin to fly. kraydon, stoned and paranoid as hell yells out "It's princeofwands!". Other, more reasonable heads try to prevail, but the vibes in camp get nasty as the tide turns against princeofwands. ilovetequila tries to calm things down by leading everyone on an excursion to the blinky light forest, but Danger Ranger is waiting for them when they arrive. princeofwands looks nervous as he enters the forest and Jeeves hangs back, whispering something in Danger Ranger's ear.
The forest is dense and brilliant in the dark playa night, so bright it's nearly impossible to see. You get lost, and lose sight of your campmates. As you consider leaving the forest, you hear a loud QUACK! followed by a scream and a thump. You hear someone scream "get out!". You are rapidly swept from the blinky light forest in a wave of panicy humanity. An Indian shaman urges everyone to remain calm. You quickly find the rest of your group, and do a head count.
Everyone is there, except princeofwands, evilben, and the duck. Just as you notice the duck is missing, the entire blinky light forest explodes in a giant ball of heat, fire, light, and deep black smoke. The silhouette of princeofwands can be seen against the flames, the last to emerge from the now flaming forrest.
"I, I don't believe it. I tried to save him..." he stutters.
Just then you see a small figure emerge from of the flames. It is the duck, waddling forward with a large object under his left wing. As the duck gets closer, you can clearly see that it is a large can labelled "Gasoline". The duck suddenly looks guilty, and begins to seach for a place to hide the gas can, but of course no hiding place is to be found on the open playa, so he simply drops it.
parzanese sends Jeeves to retrieve the duck, and you all head back for camp. Once there, you search evilben's tent and find mountains of glowsticks, blinky flashy things, and a copy of "From Disco to Moonwalking and Beyond; an Insider's Guide to Raver Dance Culture".
kraydon looks into Danger Ranger's eyes and says "I didn't want him to die!".
"Read yer fucking ticket.", he shrugs, and walks off into the darkness.
the1mouse reaches into her pocket and pulls out her Burning Man ticket stub. "You voluntarily assume the risk of injury or death by attending", she reads. "Cool."
