Richard, Elena, and Vivica are gathered around a table. âWhy do the scenes keep leaving us?â Vivica asks. âBecause weâre too boring,â Richard answers. âIs that so?â Elena retorts andâŚ
âŚas she is saying this, Elena spies Gormek rising from his seat for yet another trip through the buffet. This time however, Li Xiu comes out from the kitchen, âCut it out you ravenous pig! You go home now! You been here 4 hours!â
Somehow, somewhere, Elena had seen this beforeâŚ
But it wasnât Li Xiuâs famous sushi she saw before with which Gormek found himself feasting at the current moment. Elena remembered something from her past, for it was brought to remembrance that awful scene of @JonahTheBardâs feeding of the beautiful Lianna to this terrible monster! The memory of at that dayâŚ
âŚhad given her crustaceous perturbation
(otherwise known as shellshock). She now found herself reeling from the sushi counter in dismay.
How could @JonahTheBard have done this terrible deed? (Done? Did? Done did? Darn!) She reached for her thesaurus.
MeanwhileâŚ
Lianna appeared at the counter. Elena stares in disbelief as Lianna says â @JonahTheBardâs not around is he?â Elena regains her composure just in time to seeâŚ
âŚJonah himself stride in, a hush fell over the assembled throng at the very presence of his footsteps, their gaze drawn to his boyish good looks, rapscallion grin and the long scar on his cheek from his duel with the dreaded 15* Sharktopus.
Taking a step forward, Liana laid him out cold with a single right hook and went back to the buffet for dessertâŚ
⌠But before she could reach the buffet table, Gormek lifted her up!
Lianna shrieked and kicked, but could do nothing as the hungry ogre gobbled her up!
âNoooooooooooooooo!â screamedâŚ
Elena, as she watched her friend get eaten again. âIs nowhere safe for us anymore?â Vivica cried whenâŚ
âŚshe recalled this ugly memory involving one of her Holy sistersâŚ
Thankfully, at that moment, Lianna and Renfeld walked through the door having been released from @JonahTheBardâs Level 20 Training Camp not long ago. The new whole Lianna assured Vivica and the rest of her comradesâŚ
That they had been locked, so that no one could ever accidentally be eaten again.
Then Beefy Gormek reached for Lianna, âYou are my favorite salad!â
But she whacked him with her bow and âŚ
Then the diector yelled, âBreakâs over. Where is everyone? Gormek, you, your next up!â
âŚâright, this is the romance scene, so put the wig on and flutter your eyelashes, Gormek. Like we practiced but, you know, good. Whereâs the my leading manâŚ?â
⌠âHere I am!â Elkanen stretched his lean muscles. âItâs so amazing, that weâre doing this interspecies romance film. Heavens knows there are still so many phobic anti-inter-species haters out there!â
âBecause interspecies love is an abomination!â The door burst open, and in walkedâŚ
âŚAzlar! âJust look how I turned out!! Look at these toe nails!!..â Roared the mighty feline barbarian. But he was interrupted byâŚ
Chochin. âAt least you have toenails!â
He floated to the director. âCan I be in this scene?â
The director pointed to a dark corner. âYou can be a prop.â
He turned back to set, only to see âŚ
âŚthis:
Cochin was stunned. Never before had he seen a family gathering so lovingly recreated. At least, he thought they were familyâŚwhy did they float so aimlessly, without volitionâŚ
Were theyâŚdead???
Overcome with horror, heâŚ
Floated to the ceiling, only to get knocked down by something. What theâ
Where did this Arrow Barrage come from?
And that awful noise, who was laughing?
Berden and Lianna walked in. âHahahaha! Nobody can survive our multi-arrow attack!â
But a burst of flame erupted, knocking Berden and Lianna down!
It came fromâŚ
Azlar. Heâd been slowly burning pieces of the set. The rug was smoking, and the sofa was on fire.
This interspecies romance would not happen!
He aimed for the directorâs chair, only to be thwarted by âŚ
âVela!â Azlar sputtered as a wave of water crashed into him.
âYou naughty kitty,â she tssked. âMy parents were interspecies! One human and one AtlanteanâŚâ
âWhat are you doing, young lady?!â
âAw mom!â Vela pouted. Everyone turned to see Velaâs momâŚ
