In a surprise twist, Plakung explain that Fern really just gathered his friends there to have a great New Years Eve party! Fern explained that she was only upset to see Shakrit because she didn't want the surprise to be spoiled. After explaining this, more of Shakrit's friends come out from other rooms of the castle to meet the General. Even Takeshi himself comes out to welcome Shakrit and greet all of his friends. Takeshi explained that Shakrit's invitation must have gotten lost in the post. While Shakrit has his doubts about what Takeshi said, he still thanks the Count for throwing such an awesome party. Everyone does a toast, and, as the golden ball drops, yells "Happy New Year!" HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!! nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Mon, 01 Jan 2018 16:04:26 +0000 Re: New Year Countdown to 2018https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p350299,from=rss#post350299https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p350299,from=rss#post350299Shakrit only then realizes what has been going on for the past three-and-a-half years: Fern has been a ninja on Takeshi's side to gather information on Shakrit and his army. Shakrit is very upset, until he remembers the resolution he made for 2018, which was to make peace with Takeshi. Upon this thought, Shakrit decides to be nice and invite Fern along with his friends to usher in the new year! The party is now raging on, but there's still one more hour before the excitement really kicks-up. Shakrit better be pouring sparkling-cider!nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Mon, 01 Jan 2018 03:58:27 +0000 Re: New Year Countdown to 2018https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p350295,from=rss#post350295https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p350295,from=rss#post350295Woonsen and Plakung both begin to answer at the same time but are interrupted by a wilf Fern running into the castle saying "Tan Shogun!". Shakrit is confused. Why isn't Fern tyed up? Why does she look distressed? Is she not on Shakrit's side? Shakrit is about to find out Fern's true personality without even knowing it!nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Mon, 01 Jan 2018 03:15:51 +0000 Re: New Year Countdown to 2018https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p350290,from=rss#post350290https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p350290,from=rss#post350290Once inside the castle he finds Woonsen and Plakung calling him over in panicked voices. “What’s wrong?” he asks as he makes his way over to the group. At first the group doesn’t respond, which worries Shakrit. Now we only have three hours until the new year - and more importantly the exciting conclusion of our New Year Eve tale! nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Mon, 01 Jan 2018 02:15:51 +0000 Re: New Year Countdown to 2018https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p350288,from=rss#post350288https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p350288,from=rss#post350288Shakrit then had the thought that Takeshi probably had something to do with his friends' absences. With this in mind, he ran the five miles from his apartment to the castle. He crossed the drawbridge with no idea what to expect!

He gets inside, expecting to see a huge mess, but he sees no sign of struggle at all! Shakrit is perplexed and has no idea where the princess and his friends could be. USA: 5 hours And a very happy New Year to the UK!!

He’d hoped to ring in the new year by spending time with his wife and friends, but instead he was out looking for them and hoping that they had any time left! Shakrit then realized that time was wasting and he’d have to put the pity-party on-gold. He gave himself a motivation speech and yelled “LUI!!” He was off!

After this he abruptly paused, realizing that Fern wasn’t near him anymore. Then Shakrit realized that she was missing too. Shakrit began to panic at yet another disappearance 🇺🇸: 7 hours 🇬🇧: 2 hours You’re getting to the time UK And we aren’t too far behind!nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Sun, 31 Dec 2017 22:05:21 +0000 Re: New Year Countdown to 2018https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p350284,from=rss#post350284https://bkeshiheads.runboard.com/p350284,from=rss#post350284..Could Plakung have gone the way of Woonsen and vanished as well? It was then he realized that the culprit for the kidnappings could've also taken the phone away. With this though, he races over to his other neighbor's house, Fern. He knocks on Fern's door and Fern answers in English "Why are you here?". Shakrit does not understand and asks Fern to speak in Thai. He explains the situation and Fern offers the use of her house phone.

He explained the situation to Plakung, who welcomed Shakrit into his house to report the kidnapping. Shakrit steps inside but can’t find Plakung’s phone.

But all windows were shut and all doors were locked. Would he have to break a window?

Shakrit has just returned from the store with all of the New Year party supplies anyone could ask for, from sparkling water to blackeye-peas. He knocks on the door and yells "Woonsen, I'm home!" After a minute of no response, Shakrit begins to worry. He realizes that his wife is missing AND he's not going to be able to watch the countdown to the new year!
