Sorry. I'm a lazy person.
PHASE 29
Dark Contemplation
(A Bar. A cheap, dirty bar, the same Wes was thrown out of, with nothing but a few stools and a serving table. Cel is staring at the top of the table, feeling sick. She ran for too long. And she’s felt for too long. The Server, an old Toad, is getting angry at the strange girl sitting with her head down. She is wasting serving space. He ignores the fact that there are only three people in the bar, the girl, him, and the odd figure wearing a cloak over his head. From the way the cloak cloth shifts, the figure is continually looking at the girl. The Bar Server shakes his head. Probably the killer everyone’s talking about. Looking for his next victim. It’s the not the servers problem. He’s had a bad day. Wouldn’t want to get on that guy’s bad side, anyway.)
???(Cloaked): Having a bad day, eh?
(Cel turns slowly, to stare at the figure. His cloak is obscenely dirty. She turns, and continues to stare at the tabletop.)
???(Cloaked): Aren’t you too young to be here?
Celistar: Shut up…and…and…get lost. Just-
(She swears that she remember saying that before. Oh yes…about three weeks ago…when-)
???(Cloaked): Did someone die?
(Cel turns slowly, much like a robot)
Celistar: Actually…YES. Someone DID die. Just about everyone I really knew. My father. My mother. The only people left are a lying Koopa and a mouse with a weird attitude. Oh yes, and a friend died too. Some Toad. BLOWN UP. Just…just…BLOWN TO DUST! Heh heh…
(Cel smiles crazily for a bit, as the figure reaches to take off his cloak.)
???(Cloaked): Are you sure he was blown up? Are you…
(The figure throws off the cloak. Underneath is a Toad with a scar…and now with a burn mark on the left side of his head.)
Penter: …sure?
(Far Away, in the distant, eastern land of Sub-Con, land of the Shy Guys, in between a large set of mountains, lays a small village…or, LAID a small village. Now, there is a field of dust, with pieces of burnt wood sticking out of the depressing landscape. Nothing moves there now…except for a figure on the very edge. Only the figures outline can be seen. )
???: What…ert…has happened here???
(The figure falls to the ground on its knees, staring at the tragedy. He has nothing more to say. Someone…or SOMETHING has stolen the words out of his mouth. But someone else has plenty to say…a television news program-the Kingdom Courier.)
Reporter: Today…on the Kingdom Courier…Queen Peach…found dead in her own castle, along with a Yoshi body. It appears that the mysterious serial killer has assassinated our kind Queen…this means that government now falls to…Princess Celistar. Once she finds a prince, she can become a Que-
(The program is turned off. It’s another power outage.)
Penter: A lot has happened, after we left, Cel. We’re halfway through fall. You probably didn’t notice while you were in those hot, northwestern lands. Also, a serial killer has been raging through our city…but you now know it was Yoshi…and your mother…or I mean, the Queen…has created…an interesting law…
(Penter frowns thoughtfully, as Cel looks around the city.)
Celistar: You know what’s strange…I don’t see any Koopas anymore…
(Penter closes his eyes.)
Penter: That…was the law. All the Koopas would be taken to the Castle Dungeons…and tortured for information about your whereabouts. Ever since they spotted Wes with us…
Celistar: Did…I…just…hear…what…
Penter: Cel…something happened to your mother, when that plane crashed. Something happened…to her mind.
Celistar: What are you saying…?
Penter: Cel…I know something happened to your mother…it might be hard to accept…but-
Celistar: OKAY. You want to know the truth about it? My mother…the QUEEN, said some very strange things, okay! And…and she killed Yoshi, too! Are you happy? She even said I was her meal! Is this funny enough yet?
Penter: No, Cel. That’s not what I wanted. I just wanted you to know…and accept…that…we are living…in darker times.
Cel: ...Yeah. Everyone’s dying.
Penter: No…something doesn’t feel right. Things seem…more…TWISTED…then in your father’s time. Something…dark…is going on.
Cel: What, darker then Bowser’s attacks?
Penter: Yes…darker then…Smithy…something truly bizarre is going on.
Cel: …
Penter: …I just wanted you to know what I was…thinking. Anyway…did you tell Wes…about…you know?
Cel: …No. I was going to tell him…but…there was never really any opportune time…
Penter: That’s…okay. I don’t think he would’ve believed you anyway.
Celistar: I didn’t believe you either…until things…got weird.
Penter: Heh heh. It was the same with your father…
Celistar: Yes…my father…that dream…
Penter: Hm…what? Did you say…dream?
Celistar: Yes…so?
Penter: What…what kind of dream? With your father?
Celistar: It…was…nothing.
Penter: Cel…sometimes, the spiritual world can be even more important than the real world. If…
Celistar: Really, it was nothing. Just…forget about it.
(Penter looks at her for awhile…but decides not to push any farther. Instead he stares off in another direction.)
Celistar: We’re heading back to the castle, aren’t we?
Penter: You can’t go and hide again, Cel. Your real life is waiting…
TO BE CONTINUED…?
