Non-Residential (Chapter 2: Put On A Show)
âWhat do you think they are?â
âWell, one of âems a vampire for sures.â
âYeah but like, what about the other two? âCause they smell frickinâ rank, dude. âSpecially the angry-lookinâ one.â
âLike... wet dogs or somethinâ.â
âYeah, totally! ... Maybe they just have BO.â
âWe outta tells Dark abouts this.â
â... In like, two minutes? The vampire is playing the kazoo again and I think the angry guy is about to snap it in half.â
âOh shit, youse might be right.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
âIâll do it!â
âMiles, give Enis his kazoo back!â
âNO! I CANâT TAKE IT ANYMORE!â
âMiles, weâre stuck in a strange forest, no clue how we got here, and we have to work together to get out!â Dodger walks up, her footsteps... aligning to a beat.
âWe have to work together!â she sings, reaching for the kazoo. âWe have to keep the peace!â
Miles stumbles away, kazoo still in hand. âIâd rather fight off a flock of angry geese!â he sings back.
âWe need to find a way out, so we need to get along!â
Enis grins, and joins in with a slide and throwing open his arms. âAnd thatâs why weâll sing this healing song!âÂ
âI donât want to deal this.â Miles throws the kazoo away and starts stalking off. âIâll find my own way home!â
âOh, come on,â Dodger scoffs.
Dodger and Enis both pops up next to Miles, hugging him and singing at the same time. âYou know weâll always be there wherever you will roam!â
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bing and Yancy sit in the tree, gawking.
âAre they singing?â Bing whispers.
âYeahs,â Yancy whispers back.
âDude, you outta pop in and join them.â
âWhat?â
âYeah! You like singing like this, totally seems like your thing.â
âIâs donât sing no mores, remember?â
âYou totally hum and sing to yourself like, all the time.â
â... Well Iâm not gonna doâs it in front of other people.â
Bing and Yancy watch the spontaneous-kazoo-battle-dance-choreography scene for a minute more.
â... I donât think youâd be the embarrassing one if thatâs what youâre worried about.â
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
âAlright, FINE! I guess... this journey isnât just mine. Enis, hereâs your kazoo.â
âI knew we could count on you!âÂ
And just as suddenly as the musical number began... it ceases. They pick up their stuff, and set off again.
âDoesnât mean you can play it again yet,â Miles growls, not even looking behind him as Enis lifts the kazoo to his mouth.
Enis slowly lowers it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
âOkay, dude, Darkâs gonna flip out about this, Iâm flipping out about this! What the heck was even... like, dude, what?!â Bing laughs a little, and pulls out his phone. âShould I send a memory recording, dude?â
âYouse got enough wi-fis?â
âIâve got data, itâs chill. ... Oh, heâs calling. ... Hey, Dark! Yeah, Yancy and I are out together. Weâve uh, actually got some stuff to tell you.â
