scary monsters ~endless halloween night~ 4-15 "this is merely a spectacle"

[mandytl]

 

Location: The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase

Vil: How could you assault someone this gorgeous? Ugh. What terrible people!

 

Cater: I was an idiot to trust this weird-ass ghost! You’re just a bunch of annoying punks!

 

Swoosh…

 

Cater: … Huh? Where am I? What was I doing?

 

Vil: What's going on? And… why’re my eyes so swollen?

 

Trey: Cater!

 

Rook: Vil!

 

Deuce: Thank goodness. Looks like the ghost’s left on their own.

 

Sebek: Hmph. Our upperclassmen are so high-maintenance.

 

Cater: So, uh. I’ve got nooo idea what’s going on, but… did we, like, do something wrong?

 

Rook: Allow me to explain.

 

Time passes.

 

Cater: … No way. For real? I totally snapped and started laying into people…?

 

Trey: Well, yeah. Basically…

 

Deuce: You could've given Dorm Leader Rosehearts a run for his money with all that rage…

 

Cater: Ohhh, man! Sorry, guys! I don’t remember a thing!

 

Vil: You're saying I was a spineless, subservient little worm this whole time? Unbelievable…

 

Sebek: Subservient isn’t… quite the word I’d use here.

 

Rook: It's alright. Nothing was more important to me than our reuniting.

 

When I awoke to find you missing, I… I thought my heart would freeze over.

 

Vil: Rook… and the rest of you. I’m sorry for causing all that grief.

 

Sebek: Save your apologies! Do none of you recall anything specific?

 

No group has yet been able to save Malleus-sama or Lilia-sama, according to the information we learned from the Headmaster.

 

Even the SLIGHTEST new detail would help!!

 

Cater: Hmm… I mean, when I woke up I was in a pitch-black place that was who-knows-where.

 

Vil: Same here. Though when I began to ponder where I was, I overheard someone say, "This is merely a spectacle”...

 

Aside from that, nothing.

 

Trey: Spectacle…?

 

Deuce: How much more are they gonna screw with us…?!

 

Cater: AH! That reminds me, I think I heard Malleus-kun.

 

Sebek: What? Are you certain?!

 

Cater: Yep. He was all defeated, saying like, "I didn't expect someone of my stature to struggle so much…”

 

I'm not sure what more he said, but... I do recall being super stunned.

 

Sebek: M-Ma… M-M-Ma…

 

MALLEUS-SAMA SAID WHAT???!!!

 

Rook: Malleus-kun of all people, yielding to the enemy?!

 

Sebek: Oh, Young Master… if something happened to you, I… I… !

 

Deuce: Calm down, Sebek!

 

Trey: … Guess we shouldn't waste any more time here.

Rook: Agreed. Come, everyone! Let's get moving quickly.
