[Alador and Phillip sit in abomination class. Another student demonstrates her abomination, which is complete, but won’t obey commands]

Student: [disembodied] Sit! Walk! Dance! Uh… stand there? See, it’s listening! [The abomaton has melted almost all the way down]

[The abomination professor, one of the witches from Hollow Mind that was first branded, sighs in disappointment]

Abomination Professor: Failure. My goodness. These abominations prove to me that we need to return to the basics! One more failure, and I will be assigning an extra module to review Abomination 101. With discussion questions and an extra quiz. To be completed on your own time

[Classwide groan]

AP: Ah-ah! Prove that you know the basics, and we won’t have to review them! Next up is…Mr. Blight. Hm. Should I get a fire bucket?

[Darius flinches]

Darius: I could go next, Professor.

AP: You’re volunteering to go first, Mr. Deamonne? Are you feeling alright? No, all the B last names first. Then C names. Then yours. Be patient.

[Alador and Phillip shuffle up to the front of the classroom]

Alador: This is, uh. The abomaton 1.8. Remarkable because of its ability to follow orders from anyone holding the control remote!

[An unidentified voice calls from somewhere in the classroom]: Is it remarkable for its ability to explode, too?

[Alador flushes, but holds out the remote]

A: If I command it, it’ll be the same as any other abomination. Professor, would you do the honors?

AP: [holding the remote] Abomination, bow.

[The abomaton bows]

[AP’s commands play over abomaphillip following them]

AP: Sit. Jump. Salute.

[Cut to suspicious Darius]

AP: [disembodied] Well, well, Mr. Blight. Looks like you’ve succeeded in making an indestructible abomination at last. Quite impressive
