Players: Jamie, Xander, Chrissie (new), and Tim (new)

The setup: gangland London. Smithee and Munroe have been friends since their time at the boy's school. Such good friends that people often suspect that something else might be going on. Togther they own a scrap business where Connie works. Unfortunately Munroe doesn't and Smithee is trying to cut Connie in on a deal as a partner and cut Munroe out, all the while trying to hide the fact Connie and he have a purely sexual-hate relationship on the side that they just can't seem to shake. Enter Alice, volunteer at the local AA meeting place and chicken rancher who is about to get tied in to all manner of goings-on whether she wants to or not.

Smithee reassures Connie that he does, in fact, want to bring her in as a partner, but what is up with the warehouse full of chickens? Munroe saunters in to work late, makes a big deal about the chickens, but has an idea to sell them. Whiel out and about Munroe is confronted by the Russian Mobster Borris who would like to know where the "boss"'s diamonds have ended up, Munroe swears it's just a hiccup because they've been working too fast, and hiccups only last a moment.

Alice has a moment with Connie who took more than she was supposed to, 40 chickens more than she was supposed to in fact, Connie claims they're just int he warehouse and they can go get them right now. Enter the silent warehouse, Connie promises she will get in contact with Smithee and find out what happened.

The next day Connie comes in to Smitthee's office and they both have news for each other: Connie says that they need the chickens back, Smithee agrees and reveals about the diamonds. Meanwhile Munroe has tracked the trial of the Russians diamonds to a chicken ranch where they were hidden in a sack of chicken feed, he meets Alice who reveals that she doesn't have any extra chicken feed as she fed the last to her chickens the other day, Munroe thanks her and runs off; Connie was watching and call Smithee and tells all.

Munroe shows up at the chicken ranch he was able to off-load the "surplus" chickens too only to find out there is no way he would be able to get the same ones back, even if the ranch owner was willing to, which he's currently not. Munroe goes drinking and runs in to Smithee, Munroe reveals that he's probably going to be dead in a few hours, and Smithee reveals he knows about the diamonds, together they head to the ranch, reminiscing about a similar hazing incident back at school.

Munroe and Smithee are digging through chicken scat as they are confronted by the ranch owner, who goes to get his shotgun and insists they leave; Smithee beats the rancher to death with a chicken and they hide the body in the compost heap. Alice calls Connie who reveals her chickens are at a chicken ranch, Borris calls Alice and reveals the same to him. Connie shows up and let's loose she knows about the diamonds starting a tiff between Smithee and Munroe, Munroe goes to dig through the scat bin around the back after Alice shows up.

Alice, Connie, and Smithee are digging through chicken scat when Alice reveals the Russian is on the way. Connie takes the Ranchers shotgun and hides just as the Russian shows up. Munroe comes back revealing he's found some diamonds, sees the Russian and hands them over. A short conversation later the Russian is screwing a silencer on to his gun as Connie comes out and shots him, and several chickens. The group tries to figure out what to do with the dead Russian as Alice swoops in takes some of the diamonds and begins to walk off, Munroe and Smithee decide this won't happen and threaten her witht he shotgun and pistol and get the diamonds back.

Now sirens which set the three remaining in to a panic, they decide to try and put the Russian in to one of the coups and just as they brace for the police arrival they see Alice leading them. She reveals she went for help, Munroe and Smithee drop their guns quickly, and the three fluster util Alice tells them what she told the police. The fictional story holds for only a moment before they begin to be questioned and Munroe steps forward revealing that Inspector Billingsworth from Scottland Yard will vouch for him as he is an onoing Criminal Informant with them. This is verified at the four are released.

Exit montage: Smithee is disgusted and deletes Connies number from his mobile. Munroe is taking the tube, head hung as he's burned himself with Scotland Yard and lost his only friend. Alice watches her last chicken die and it's too wasted to even try to eat. Connie is drinking and living with her mother. Smithee sells his scrap business. Munroe is diving behind a dumpster as Russians chase and shoot at him. Alice gets on a plane back to the States, her dream of being a British Chicken Mogul dashed. Connie is vommiting in a run down alley, all alone with a suitcase of clothes half open. Munroe is chased to a roof where he makes a final desperate leap for the next rooftop and... fails. Roll credits, cue catchy British pop song.

Thanks for the writeup, Tim! You get an achievement and 20 gamer score for your first writeup. Sorry I didn't reply sooner - didn't realize I'd been away from the forums so long.

No worries. Back in Idaho for the month of September or I'd be there hoping to try more games.

How'd you know I was an XBox gamer? smile
