99%u201cThe drinks are here. Please help yourselves. No sex yet. Let me know when you all have full glasses,%u201d he told them. %u201cWhat can I get you, Jennifer?%u201d%u201cWhat%u2019s your strongest alcoholic drink?%u201d she asked.%u201cMalt whiskey. My favourite tipple,%u201d he replied.%u201cI%u2019ll have a glass of that, please.%u201dHe poured it out and then called out, %u201cAttention, please!%u201dThey all turned to look at him.%u201cI have three expensive cameras set up in here to record the night. %u201cYou%u2019ll get raw copies of the feeds. No mask removal and instead of using our names, remove your masks now, before I turn the cameras on. Here is a felt tip pen. Mark the forehead of the mask with a short unique name and put your mask back on. From then on, only call each other the name on the mask. Get someone next to you to use the marker and write the name on your bum, so we know who you are from the rear.%u201dHe took his own mask, not yet put on, and wrote on it, %u2018Driller%u2019. He gave the pen to Jennifer. Could you do me the honours, please.%u201dShe took the pen and wrote on his bottom and then wrote, %u2018Deep%u2019, on her own mask and passed the pen back.%u201cWhy deep?%u201d he asked.%u201cIt%u2019s the way I like it.%u201dHe wrote on her bottom and gave her the pen. She passed it on. When everyone had finished, and he had the pen back, he asked them to call out their names and their mask names. As they called, he scribbled them down next to their nick names on a sheet of paper:Nancy%u2014VIRGINAnnabel%u2014ANALDawn%u2014VICTIMJennifer%u2014DEEPFredrick%u2014BOSSJoe%u2014WRECKERConrad%u2014PLUNGERJason%u2014BiReverend%u2014PUNISHERJohn%u2014DRILLERThe Undertaker
