Loo Loo Land
[The episode opens to a shot of the exterior of at night, before cutting to the master bedroom where The Vs and Vaggie are asleep. A young frightened voice can be heard from offscreen.]
Pentious (Young): (offscreen) Wahhh!!!
[Vaggie is roused from her sleep. She turns to Valentino who has most of the blanket.]
Vaggie: *sleepily* Mmph. Pentious is yelling, Mr. Valentino.
Valentino: *sleepily, annoyed* You get up, brat.
[Vaggie sighs and gets out of bed. She goes outside and sees Pentious, where he is hiding behind his Egg-bois.]
Frank: Hi lady.
Vaggie: What troubles you, my friend?
Pentious: M-Miss V-Vagatha!
[He climbs down from his bed and runs into his friend's arms. Vaggie hoists her up to comfort her.]
Pentious: *sobbing* I had a dream! A really bad dream!
[Vaggie yawns and wipes away his tear, correcting him.]
Vaggie: A nightmare.
Pentious: *sobbing* I was looking all over the palace, and... I couldn't find you anywhere! You weren't there!
Vaggie: *rubs Pentious on the back comfortingly* There there, Pen, it's okay. You're okay.
[Vaggie summons her grimoire to her telekinetically as she walks Pentious and the eggs back to bed.]
Vaggie: When you're scared, and you don't know where I am, you must remember...
[Vaggie's grimoire floats over to her. She telekinetically flips it open.]
Vaggie: No matter what happens to me, I will never be far away... from my special little starfire.
[Vaggie begins singing to little Pentious.]
Vaggie:♫ It always seems more quiet... in the dark ♫
[Vaggie opens a portal above herself and Pentious. He looks up in awe of the beauty of space through the portal.]
Vaggie: ♫ It always feels so stark... how silence grows under the moon ♫
[Vaggie and Pentious float up through the portal and into the cosmos, landing on a barren moon.]
Vaggie: ♫ Constellations gone so soon ♫
♫ I used to think that I was bold ♫
[Walking across the moon, Vaggie leaves footprints in the dust.]
Vaggie: ♫ I used to think love would be fun ♫
♫ Now, all my stories have been told. Except for one... ♫
[Vaggie looks down at Pentious, and he looks back with his large, curious eyes. His gaze shifts to a pink glow to his side.]
Vaggie: ♫ As the stars start to align ♫
♫ I hope you take it as a sign that you'll be okay ♫
[A meteor begins its descent towards a giant, pink colored star.]
Vaggie: ♫ Everything will be okay ♫
[The meteor makes contact with the pink star, and begins to sink beneath the molten surface.]
Vaggie: ♫ And if the collapse ♫
[Multiple planetary bodies begin gravitating toward the pink star, including the moon that Vaggie and Pentious currently reside on, which eventually shatters into pieces as the star's gravity pulls on it.]
Vaggie: ♫ Although, the day could be my last. You will be okay ♫
[Pentious yawns and falls asleep contentedly against his friend's chest.]
Vaggie: ♫ When I'm gone, you'll be okay... ♫
[Distant planetary bodies fly through the cosmos, pulled in by the pink star's incredible gravitational pull. They disintegrate upon impact and causes the star to explode in a powerful supernova just as the portal closes behind Vaggie causing him to sing louder.]
Vaggie: ♫ And when Creation goes to die ♫
♫ You can find me in the sky ♫
♫ Upon the last day ♫
[Vaggie drapes the sleeping Octavia in a blanket.]
Vaggie: ♫ And you will be okay... ♫
[Her lullaby finished, Vaggie leaves as his frined settles to sleep, content. Cut to several years later, where an adult Pentious is jolted awake by smashing objects and his friend and her adoptive father screaming at each other, far less content.]
Valentino: (offscreen) I can't believe you slept with the princess of hell in MY FUCKING BED!
[Pentious, annoyed at being disturbed, gives a long groan.]
Vaggie: (offscreen) It was unexpected! I didn't have time to go to a motel!
Valentino: (offscreen) A motel?! Like a fucking PLEBEIAN?!
[Pentious grabs his phone and puts in earbuds, playing "My World Is Burning Around Me" to tune out the screaming as she strides down the halls of the Vs estate, stepping over the smashed remains of a plant thrown in her path. In the kitchen, Valentino continues screaming at Vaggie.]
Valentino: You want to fuck this one, TOO?!
[He grabs an imp servant and violently tosses him in Vaggie's direction.]
Vaggie: No! Of course not!
Valentino: You are a goddamn embarrassment! I'm not spending another moment looking at your pathetic, PRINCESS-SUCKING FACE!!
[Valentino storms out of the room, shouting angrily the entire time, and smashing more potted plants. Vaggie sighs in exhausted exasperation before she notices her friend has entered the kitchen.]
Vaggie: Good mooorning, Sir Pentious! Did you sleep well, my friend?
Pentious: *smiles* Morning.
[Vaggie opens the refrigerator to retrieve a massive chunk of zebra meat.]
Vaggie: What's that you're listening to?
Pentious: This song is called "My World is Burning Down Around Me". (beat) It's by Fuck You.
[Vaggie looks down, thinking the name of the band his friend mentioned is a hurtful remark. Pentious quickly tries to save face.]
Pentious: It's, uh, it's a band.
Vaggie: *bemusedly* Ohhhh! How charming...
[Vaggie grabs the zebra meat and feeds it to a massive potted plant situated in a small alcove off the kitchen as he pets it. Sated, it falls dormant, closing its three eyes.]
Pentious: So, are you two finished with the screaming for the day? *sips his coffee*
Vaggie: Umm...
[Valentino lets out another scream of anger and another potted plant is heard shattering in the distance.]
Vaggie: Guess not. *gets an idea* You know what we haven't done in a long, loooong time? We haven't gone to our favorite place in all of Hell! Why don't we go to Loo Loo Land?
Pentious: Loo Loo Land? Vagatha, we're not five anymore.
Vaggie: Nonsense! You were always so happy when Val took us to Loo Loo Land! What do you say we go there again, have a day, just the two of us? Plus, it'll be better than hearing moth face scream his old lungs out at me.
Pentious: *laughs* Well, I suppose it could be fun.
Vaggie: There we go! Anything but staying in this house. Now, I'll arrange our security.
[Vaggie picks up a phone carried on a platter by her now bruised and battered servant.]
Pentious: Security? For a theme park?
Vaggie: We're rich. we're hot. People want our money and our bodies!
[Pentious laughs and grabs a box of cereal on the table and begins shoveling handfuls into his mouth.]
Pentious: *under his breath* Our money, maybe.
Vaggie: Speak for yourself, snake-boy. Now... I'm calling the only woman who can f*** me!
Pentious: *drops the handful of cereal, disgusted* What...?
Vaggie: *immediately backpedaling* I said protect me! Us!
[Pentious groans and pulls his beanie down over her eyes.]
[Cut to H.A.Z.B.I.N. HQ, where Charlie is busy doing very important work in her office, involving crude representations of Angel Dust and Husk made out of office supplies that her puppets around and speaks with. Between them is a framed photo of Charlie with a robe pulled down off her shoulders seductively and a flower between her teeth. The text reads "#1 Bitch" with "BOSS" written in red over it.]
Charlie: *impersonating Angle Dust* "Oh, Charlie! You're such a good boss!" *impersonating Husk* "Yeah, I really want you, ma'am." *impersonating Angel* "Me, too!" *As herself* Let's three-way!
[Charlie lowers her "employees" below his desk to crotch level, looking momentarily pleasured before being interrupted by the ringing of her Hellphone.]
Charlie: *angrily* WHAT?!
Vaggie: *lustfully* Why, hello, my big-tittied Char-Char.
[Both Charlie and Pentious spit out their coffee in sheer surprise. Charlie slams his "BOSS BITCH" mug onto his desk.]
Charlie: What--
Pentious: the--
Charlie: FUCK--
Pentious: VAGGIE?!
Vaggie: Language, everyone! *into the phone* I have a special request~
Charlie: Aw... Look, I just had a chemical peel. So, you'll have to find someone else's face to plant that fat ass.
Vaggie: It's for my friend.
Charlie: Ah. Well, make sure he washes it.
Vaggie: *taken aback* No! No, no-no-no. I'm taking my friend to Loo Loo Land, and I was hoping you brave little employees would accompany us!
Charlie: We're assassins, not bodyguards, 'kay? Don't invite us to shit unless someone's gonna die.
Vaggie: I'll pay you~
Charlie: Pay me what?
Vaggie: Moneyyyy~
Charlie: Done!
[Charlie hangs up and accidentally slams her phone down on the desk hard enough to smash it to pieces. After a brief annoyed glance at it, she pulls out a megaphone.]
Charlie: HnA, get in here! We're goin' to Loo Loo Land!
[Husk opens the door to respond.]
Husk: Loo Loo Land?
[Angel excitedly smashes his head straight through the office door's glass.]
Angel: *excitedly* Loo Loo Land?!
Charlie: Loo Loo Land!
Alastor: (offscreen) SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
[Cut to Loo Loo Land. A van with an H.A.Z.B.I.N. decal spray painted on the side pulls into the rather empty parking lot. Husk exits the van and opens the side door. A very cramped Vaggie extracts herself excitedly. Her friend exits the van far less excitedly. Vaggie dons an apple-themed hat and gestures toward the park gate. Pentious groans and pulls her hat low over her face.]
Charlie: Now, remember: this is work and work only. Me and my crew are not here to satisfy your perverted slut needs, alright?
Pentious: *disgustedly* Hey... Vaggie... maybe--?
Charlie: Okay, yeah. Hold on right there, sweetie. [turns to Vaggie] If you try fuckin' my little ass in that park, I swear to--
Vaggie: You are so cute when you are serious!
Pentious: I'm gonna be sick.
Husk: Oh, shit! I knew today would be a lot! What do you need?
[Husk fishes around in a fanny pack and throws out several pill bottles as he lists off his inventory.]
Husk: Anti-acids? Ibuprofen?
[Husk shows Pentious several hypodermic needles of a glowing, acid green substance.]
Husk: Morphine?
Pentious: No, no, no. I am quite alright. That was a figure of speech.
Moxxie: Oh, right.
[Husk chuckles sheepishly as he discards the needles into a nearby baby carriage, where a baby imp happily reaches out to play with its dangerous new "toys."]
Angel: *excitedly* Wooooow! I haven't been to this place since I was a tot!
[A large letter falls off the sign of a nearby ride, crushing the teenaged imp underneath.]
Angel: It hasn't changed a bit. Ohhh! LOOK! It's Big Loobly!
[Angel gestures toward a hideously malformed animatronic dinosaur, which opens its mouth and lets out a terrifying, demonic shriek.]
Husk: That is... deeply upsetting.
Angel: Oh, come on! It's fun! You've never been here?
Husk: No. Theme parks always disturbed me, especially the mascots.
[The park's mascot, appears out of nowhere behind Husk.]
Loo Loo: Well, hey there!
Husk: *jumps back in terror* AAAAAH!!
Loo Loo: I'm Loo Loo! Welcome to Loo Loo Land! If y'all get hurt here, just try and sue us!
Vaggie: *gasps* Look! Via! It's Loo Loo!
Pentious: I have a question.
Loo Loo: Well, ask away, little buddy! A-hyuk a-hyuk a-hyuk!
Pentious: Is it true this park is just a really shameless spin-off of far more popular Loo-Loo World?
Loo Loo: *beat* No?
Pentious: This place reeks of insecure corporate shame.
[Vaggie chuckles nervously as she leads Pentious away.]
Vaggie: Why don't we go check out the rides?
Loo Loo: That guy's creepy, huh?
Charlie: Eh, wait till his friend tries to diddle your holes.
Loo Loo: *to Angel and Husk* What's that mean?
Husk: Don't talk to me! I know you're a sex offender under there!
[Husk leaves, leading Angel off with him. Loo Loo hangs his body dejectedly.]
Loo Loo: Yeah...I am...
[Husk and Angel head down a pathway, and Husk, sweating profusely, stops to catch his composure.]
Husk: You really like this place, huh?
Angel: I love this place! My ma' would bring me and my siblings here when they could swing it. Money-wise.
[Husk looks over to see a worker wheeling a wheelbarrow piled to the brim with money into a nearby giftshop. The two approach the window, where novelty cups and stuffed apples are for sale. The cups appear to cost at least 29 per.]
Husk: Yeaaaah. The prices do seem rather criminal. I mean, that much for a novelty cup that you use one time?
Angel: 'Cause, it's Loo Loo Land!
[Charlie walks up, having loaded up on merch, including a novelty cup, as well as a hat with attached can holders and straws.]
Charlie: *nudges Husk with cup* Listen to your hoe, Husk.
[Charlie takes a swig from her novelty cup.]
Charlie: How 'bout I take the first watch while you two have a little *takes off sunglasses and winks* fun?
Angel: OOOOOH! We gotta do my favorite ride!
Husk: Oh, yeah? Wh- which one?
[Cut to a shot of a lone imp riding a roller coaster named "The Lawsuit" that suddenly plunges off a sheer 90-degree drop at incredible speed while also on fire and with its rider hanging on for dear life. The coaster violently plunges into a tunnel in the ground.]
Husk: *terrified* Oh, crumbs!
[Cut to Husk vomiting into a trash can after having left the ride. A vomit-covered family walks by in the background, glaring disapprovingly at Husk. A massive dragon-like creature from the nearby petting zoo looms overhead, also glaring at Husk.]
[In another part of the park, Vaggie and Pentious walk along the path, as Charlie takes up positions all around them with his rifle, on the lookout for any danger. A group of imps creep up behind the booths, ropes, knives, and pitchforks at the ready. They quickly scatter as Charlie looks in their direction.]
Vaggie: *strokes Charlie's hair* You know, it's quite thrilling to see you on the job, Char-Char.
Charlie: Save it, bitch. I'm working.
Pentious: You both need to get a room.
Charlie: Hey, I am not a day-hooker!
[A woman walking nearby with her baby glares at Charlie before continuing on in a huff.]
Charlie: What? I just said I'm not one, prude! *Flips her off*
Vaggie: *gasps* Oh! Look, Pen!
[Vaggie points excitedly at the circus tent. A demon mother is struggling to pull her crying son into the tent.]
Vaggie: You used to cry such tears of joy at this show!
Pentious: *panicked* Oh, no...
[Cut to a flashback to Pentious as a young boy, as she is pushed against the stage by an excited crowd of imp children, as Robo-Vel sparks and cackles maniacally leering over Pentious, who soon breaks into tears. A younger Charlie is seen in the background tending to a food cart, dressed and painted as a clown, scowling.]
[Cut back to the present.]
Charlie & Pentious: I hate that fucking robot.
[Pan to Vaggie, who has been captured and hoisted aloft by the crew of imps from earlier. Vaggie's arms are bound and his head is covered by a cloth sack, and the imps are pointing various weapons at him. One has stolen Vaggie's wallet.]
Vaggie: *unconcerned* Oh, Char-Char~ I need my bodyguard, please!
[One imp jumps, to try and skewer Vaggie with a pitchfork. Charlie quickly brings her rifle to bear, shooting the imp in the torso, splattering Vaggie's head with blood. The other imps quickly scatter.]
[Pentious enters the big top and finds a seat. Charlie carries Vaggie in, head still covered in the blood-soaked sack, sets her down, and walks off to take position. Vaggie makes no move to remove the sack, until Pentious annoyedly rips it off her father's head.]
Robo Vel: *glitching and sparking* Hey-hey-hey-hey-heyyyy, Implings! It's me, the Robotic Velvette! Shipped from Carmine's factory to bring you a wonderful show celebrating Loo Loo Land, spelled with Os, to avoid lawsuits! H-H-H-H-H-Hit it!
[Stage lights turn on and point at Robo Vel as she begins to dance and sing a song .]
Robo Vel: ♫ Loo Loo Land, Loo Loo Land! ♫
[The curtains open to reveal Robo Vel's band, VelVette 'n Friends, composed of various hideously decrepit animatronics, including Big Woobly on guitar.]
Robo Vell: ♫ Everybody sing along with the Loo Loo band ♫
[Robo Vel goes around pointing and gesturing at various demons in the audience. Vaggie looks excited when Robo Vel gets to her, but this is short-lived as Charlie pops up and points her rifle at Robo Vel, who dashes back to the stage.]
Robo Vel: ♫ Ev'ry boy, ev'ry girl, ev'ry woman, ev'ry man loves Loo Loo Laaand! ♫
[Platforms in the stage rise up in time with the music.]
Robo Vel: ♫ Loo Loo Land, Loo Loo Land! ♫
♫ Everything is beautiful at Loo Loo Land ♫
♫ Ugly children holdin' hands in Loo Loo Laaand! ♫
[Robo Vel grabs various Imp children out of the audience and wraps them up in a big hug, before jumping up and tossing them away. Most of the children slam into the bleachers, while one soars behind them.]
Robo Vel: ♫ Everybody's friendly, ♫
[Robo Vel hugs Big Woobly so hard that its neck breaks a bit more than it already had been.]
Robo Vel: ♫ And nobody is mean ♫
[Robo Vel dashes over to the two-headed, banjo-playing bear animatronic and slaps it in the back. The animatronic then squirts a stream of oil from its bigger head at the face of an Imp in the bleachers attempting to drown out the song with music from his phone.]
Robo Vel: ♫ No copyright infringement's ever seeen ♫
[Robo Vel dumps a gasoline canister onto a large stack of cease-and-desist papers, lights a match, and throws the match and the canister at the stack, setting the whole thing ablaze.]
Robo Vel: ♫ I have a dream... ♫
Backup Singer: ♫ (She has a dream) ♫
Robo Vel: ♫ I'm here to tell... ♫
Backup Singer: ♫ (She;s here to tell) ♫
Robo Vel: ♫ About a magical, fantastic place called Loo Loo Laaaaand! ♫
[Pentious is sitting and absorbing the musical with disgusted boredom. Outside, Husk and Angel walk along a row of game booths, when they are addressed by one of the vendors. Angel gleefully yanks Husk over towards the booth.]
Carnie Hellhound: Hello, hello! Step right up and win a thing!
Angel: *gasps excitedly* Oh, look, Husk! A THING!
[The "thing" in question is some sort of purple stuffed penguin creature with Imp horns, wearing pink overalls. The stuffed animal is labeled with a tag that says "THING?"]
Husk: Oh, you like that thing?
Angel: YEEEEESSS! I don't really know what that thing is but I want that thing!
Husk: *smugly* Ahhh... Finally, something I can handle.
[Husk takes out some money and hands it to the carnie.]
Husk: Okay! One game, puh-lease!
[The carnie Hellhound rolls his eyes and uses his tail to hand Husk a pistol with a cork projectile in the muzzle. Husk does not even line up the shot, instead looking to his boyfriend as he effortlessly hits the target right in the bullseye. Unbeknownst to Husk, the target barely moves. He makes a "ricochet" noise with his mouth and blows the black powder smoke clear of the gun, pleased with his marksmanship.]
Carnie Hellhound: Ohhhh! Strike one, little man!
Husk: But, I hit it!
Carnie Hellhound: Hmmm, I don't know what to tell ya, buddy. The target, see? It didn't go down. So, yeah...! No go, bro.
[Moxxie growls in anger, and fishes another bill out of his pocket. He grabs the pistol and fires another cork, hitting the target dead-center. The target does not budge. Husk slaps the pistol in annoyance.]
Husk: The wrong with this thing?!
Carnie Hellhound: Oh, man. A real shame, I tell ya. [mockingly cries]
[Husk hisses in anger as he slaps another bill on the counter.]
Husk: Another!
[Cut back to the Robo Vel show. Vaggie is gleefully clapping to the music, while Pentious has thrown his head back in torment, banging his fist on the seat next to him.]
Robo Vel & Backup Singer: ♫ --body sing along with the Loo Loo band! Ev'ry boy, ev'ry girl, ev'ry woman, ev'ry man loves Loo Loo Laaaaaaand! ♫
[The show ends with a small pyrotechnic display as Robo Vel cackles maniacally. The bear animatronic faceplants onto the stage and falls to pieces. Vaggie claps and cheers even harder.]
Vaggie: Ah hohohoho ho ho ho ho ho, how delightful!
[Behind Vaggie, an imp armed with a kris dagger rises from beneath the seats ready to stab Vaggie, but the top of his head is quickly blown apart by a shot from Charlie, who has taken up a position in the gallery behind the back row of seats while Imps scream in absolute fear and run away.]
Vaggie: *flirtatiously* Oh, my! What aim you have, Char-Char.
Pentious: *furious* Ugh! I can't do this anymore!
Vaggie: *concerned* Wait- Uh-... Pentious!
[Pentious storms off, with Vaggie following behind as Charlie cycles her rifle, and prepares to give chase after her charges.]
Robo Vel: Mua ha ha ha ha hoho-oh! Is that Charlotte my sensors spot up the-e-e-ere? I bet the kiddies are still running away from you, huh? [laughs]
Charlie: It's Charlie, now.
Robo Vel: A-A-Awwwww, just like what kind of horse your audience would get when you to-told your lazy jokes here! [laughs]
[Charlie removes his visors and throws them on the ground as he continues his argument with Robo Vel.]
Charlie: Bitch, I make more money killing people than you do being a cheap-ass robo ripoff of an overrated sellout INFLUENCER!
Robo Vel: *glitching* Oohoohoo! Someone's salty! Real or not, though, people lo-o-ove me! Does anybody love you... *low demonic voice* CHARLOTTE?
Charlie: No. But, I'm really good with guns now. Dance, bitch!
[Charlie slams a new magazine into her rifle, switches it to full-auto and opens up on Robo Vel, who cartwheels out of the way of the incoming rounds. Robo Vel rapidly spins like a wheel rolling up the stair to where Charlie is. She coils himself around Charlie like a snake, before using her own momentum to launch Charlie through the top of the tent.]
Charlie: Ohhhh, FUCK MEEEEEEE...!
[Outside, rolls a cart of lit torches in by the tent.]
Mimsy: Torches! Get your inconvenient torches here!
[Charlie lands on the cart, scattering the torches everywhere, which light the big top on fire.]
Mimsy: HEY GET BACK HERE!! YOU NEED TO PAY FOR ALL THAT!!
[The green fire very rapidly spreads to all corners of the park. Burning and melting animatronics flee the tent as Robo Vel cackles and spins his head with demonic glee at the destruction. Elsewhere, the carnie Hellhound at the shooting gallery holds 600 souls of Husk's money, with Husk himself glaring at him with seething anger.]
Carnie Hellhound: Wow! Man, you're really starting to make this sad. Y'know, if you suck, you suck! Guess you won't win your honey here a prize...
Angel: Let me try!
[Angel grabs the pistol and fires a cork at a target, which misses wildly. The carnie hellhound grins mischievously, and presses a foot pedal in the booth, which causes a target to fall down.]
Carnie Hellhound: Ohhhh, look at that! Lucky shot, baby.
Husk: Are you kidding me?! You- you- you charlatan!
Carnie Hellhound: Hey, uh, get lost, pipsqueak. I'm talkin' to the lady~
Angel: I'm a dude?
Carnie Hellhound: Hasn't stopped me before.
[The carnie hellhound leans toward Angel and makes a seductive purring sound at her. MiAngelllie immediately recoils in disgust. In the background, Charlie and Robo Vel continue to do battle against each other as the fires spread. Charlie is thrown up into the air by Robo Vel and comes down through the roof of the shooting gallery, crushing the carnie hellhound under her.]
Carnie Hellhound: OWWWW! Oof! Auuugh!
Husk: *surprised* Charlie?!
Charlie: *dazed* Ohhhh...Hey, guys! You should probably go, uh, make sure Vaggie is okay. I've... got some unfinished business to take care of.
[Charlie draws his flintlock pistol, cocks it, and fires at the now burning Robo Vel. The impact of the bullet spins Robo Vel's head around, but when he spins his head back, he is revealed to be unharmed by the shot, having caught the bullet in his teeth. He then spits the bullet out.]
Charlie: Oh, what a mouth!
[Charlie immediately grimaces when she realizes what she just said. Robo Vel coils himself up into her rolling form again, charging straight at Charlie. She leaps out of the way as her enemy hit the booth, destroying it in a large explosion. Several pieces of shrapnel and burning prizes shoot in all direction, as the camera follows the severed heads of three of the "things" Husk attempted to win. The piece of stuffed animal strikes a young Imp girl in the head, knocking her unconscious the second a photographer takes a picture of the Imp family.]
Mother: Goddammit, Natalie! You ruined another bloody photo! Why were you even born?!
[Elsewhere, Vaggie is still running after her friend.]
Vaggie: Pentious?
Pentious: (off-screen) Just leave me alone!
Vaggie: Pentious!
[Pentious slithers into a building called the "Fun House." Inside, Vaggie is confronted with a surreal room of eyes, tubes, spikes, mirrors, and disembodied hands. She goes further into the room, looking around for where her friend could have gone. A shadow appears behind Vaggie, as a random Imp jumps upon her back.]
Vaggie: *annoyed* Umm, I think I'm supposed to be bodyguarded right now!
[The Imp covers Vaggie's mouth with his shirt sleeve, but is suddenly shot in the head and falls to the ground. Husk and Angel appear in the entryway, Angel having just shot the Imp with a pistol.]
Vaggie: *wipes imp blood off of sleeve, annoyed* Ugh, that's better. Where is Char-Char? She's my knight in shining armor, not you littler ones.
Angel: She's, uhhhh... busy.
Husk: Being a fool.
Vaggie: What kind of fool?
Husk: The "everything is now on fire" kind.
[Disinterested, Vaggie leaves the imps, effortlessly dodging between two swinging pendulums, and heads down a tunnel into an adjoining room. There, she sees Pentious riding in circles in apple-themed rail cars, crying.]
Vaggie: Pentious...
[Vaggie discards the Loo Loo Land hat, which in response to his emotional state has gone from a goofy grin to a sad frown.]
Vaggie: I take it you are... not having fun.
Pentious: *crying* I didn't even want to come here!
Vaggie: I'm sorry. I... I thought you liked it here.
Pentious: *sniffling* I did! I loved it here! But that was when my friend wasn't always fighting with her adopted dad. When my parents didn't hate each other... and my friend didn't flirt with the princess the entire time.
Vaggie: I'm sorry, Pen. I'm sorry for... everything... happening right now. I know it's... a lot. I, uh-- I should have listened.
Pentious: *crying]* I just want to go home... but home doesn't even feel like home anymore... he's ruined it.
Vaggie: You need to understand... my father and I... I just-... I felt-... he's always been... I haven't been- Ha-... We weren't in... I'm sorry, I- I- I don't have the words.
Pentious: *crying* Are you gonna run off with her? And leave me behind? Go away where... I can't find you?
Vaggie: *emphatically* What? No! No, no, never. I'd never do that. Never. I think it's time to leave this place. You were right. You are too old for it, anyway.
[Vaggie carries Pentious out of the Fun House, as an imp grins maniacally in the space above the drop-ceiling, looking down on Vaggie. The imp drops down and flicks open a switchblade. Vaggie immediately turns around, and stabs him with her spear. Outside, the park has been reduced to pandemonium as dusk falls. Angel attempts to shoot at Robo Vel, who rolls around wildly. The robot is caught by the draconic creature from before, and swallowed whole, as Husk rides on its back. Vaggie and Pentious leave the park gates.]
Vaggie: So, what would you like to do now?
Pentious: Oh, can we go to Snakes Galore? They sell weird taxidermy there.
Vaggie: *reluctantly* Hmmm, okayyyyy...
Pentious: *chuckles* Thanks, Vag. You're okay, sometimes.
Vaggie: Thank you, Pen. Thank you.
[A massive explosion rocks the park, sending the employees of H.A.Z.B.I.N hurtling through the air, smoking and screaming. All three land in front of Vaggie and Pentious.]
Husk: Way to ruin another good thing, sir!
Charlie: Worth it! That slutty toy had. It. Comin'!
[HUsk and Charlie fall unconscious. A stray Quieve grabs Angel by the hair and drags him offscreen.]
