You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,

But do you recall?
When the murders began that fall…

Oh, is it that time of year again?

Silent Night
Holy Night
All is calm
All is bright
Round yon virgin
Mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
And then the murders began
And then the murders began

Oh, holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night

On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree
And then the murders began.

You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry,
You’d better not pout, I’m telling you why:

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who hid a handgun in a bucket
The shit hit the fan
When the murders began
And the man kicked the Nantucket bucket.

Oh, I come from a land,
From a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam,

Where they cut off your ears
If they don’t like your face:
It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home!

When the wind’s in the East,
And the Sun’s in the West,
And the sand in the glass is right…

Then the murders will begin.

Jack Frost nipping at your nose (yeah)
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

Ooooh, we’ve got this notion
that we’d quite like to sail the ocean
so we’re building a big boat to leave here for good.
We’re not keen on sinking
so we’re all sitting here a thinking
’cause we built it too big and we’ve run out of wood.
Eidle eidle eee
Eidle eidle eee
And then the murders began because I already played through this damn tutorial :rage:

He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the gulf stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.

And then the murders began.

Trying to bring back some actual BOOK beginnings as I’ve so egregiously abused that part of the game

I am Sam.
Sam I am.
That Sam-I-am!
That Sam-I-am!

I do not like
That Sam-I-am!

Do you like
Green eggs and ham?

I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.
And that is how
The murders began…

Brother Francis Gerard of Utah might never have discovered the blessed documents, had it not been for the pilgrim with girded loins who appeared during that young novice’s Lenten fast in the desert. And then the murders began.
