FIFTH TRIAL

[beautifultomorrow]

[As always, the elevator makes it’s journey once again to the club, and John’s voice can once again be heard.]

Cornelia Hale, she…

[But he trails off, soon interrupted by that same distorted voice.]

[At that, the elevator doors open once again to the Tip Top Club. With Ursula, Kylo Ren, and Cornelia’s photo’s now in grayscale, the room is starting to look a lot bigger now that so few people are still alive. John is still here, but he is very noticeably sitting further away from the tables sitting in front of the stage. He smiles when the guests enter, but it seems a little off. It’s hard to tell if all the death of innocent people is wearing on him or if he is just genuinely afraid of you guys.]

Feel free to take as much time as you want. I'll be right here if you have any questions.

No, no, don't give him what he wants. He wants the dramatics. Let's just get this nightmare over with.

[nocasetoobig]

He's just like Fat Cat! [HNNNGHN]

[hallotween]

Yeah. But. Fat Rat.

[-- y'know speaking of she's going over to that whiskey bottle and slightly towering over it and tapping on the glass.]

Because you know that's what you are, right. You're a rat. A literal rat. And that's not a bad thing. The bad thing is you being a such total jerk that you make rats look bad.

[nocasetoobig]

And that's why they're next to each other on my wall.

[stenchus_rodentus]

I am not--

[God he's gonna explode.]

What if I am, kindling?!

[nocasetoobig]

Don't you call her that!

[stenchus_rodentus]

Too hot for you?

[nocasetoobig]

You'll have to tell me, because you're going to hell! [YOU DIE, AND YOU GO TO HELL]

[darnsitall]

[Picks u up]

Enough!

[nocasetoobig]

[ANGRY CHIPMUNK SHOUTING AND SQUIRMING]

[darnsitall]

[SO HELP ME I'LL PUT YOU IN A BOTTLE TOO]

[nocasetoobig]

[HE'S PROTECTING MARNIE and will tire himself out soon enough]

[stenchus_rodentus]

[HAW HAW]

[stenchus_rodentus]

I'll reserve a spot by my throne~

[hallotween]

Nothing! That's the whole point! Literally no one here has ever, ever cared that you're a rat! I think rats are great; they make really cool pets, and if I didn't already have eels, I'd definitely want one as a witch familiar or something! But you are so insecure over something so incredibly stupid and it's probably the reason you're so messed up in the head!

Being a rat is literally the greatest thing about you, you complete ass!

[stenchus_rodentus]

...what?

[Why the fuck are you being nice after his clear confession???]

Im unsure how to process this.

[hallotween]

You can process all your stupid feelings about being stupid over being a rat and loving that Basil guy in the Underworld because that is literally where we will be sending you once John gets off his butt and does his one job!

[stenchus_rodentus]

If that's the case then the rest of you will follow me soon.

[hallotween]

Yeah, sure. Save us a good spot.

[lusito]

And if we do, it'll be a happy reunion, I'm sure.

[is he joking yeah probably]
