52: Mensa
Brick finishes rebuilding the fourth wall, slipping in a final brick, when he steps back onto the stage and flashes his amazing smile. A few she-cats die. Guards rush to take away the bodies.
"Welcome back, yet again!" he called brightly. "Welcome back to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Stars! Our next constellation will be presented by... Jayfeather!"
Seeming confused, the gray tom pads out onto the stage.
"Hello, hello," the tom meowed, dipping his head. "Today's constellation is Mensa, which literally means 'the table'. I had to google what a table was." He chuckled.
Someone from the audience stands up. "How do you know what Google is if you don't know what a table is?"
Jayfeather pulled a table out of thin air and tossed it at the cat. "There, problem solved!" he meowed. "Anyways, let's get on to the constellation. Mensa is a southern sky constellation, in fact the most southernmost constellation! It can never be seen in the northern constellation, so technically us Clan cats shouldn't be able to know what it is!"
The same cat, pushing the table off their head, stands again and shouts, "We also shouldn't be able to know what latin names are and what a constellation is, but ya' know, this is a spoof!"
Brick's perfectly constructed fourth wall shatters into pieces.
Jayfeather stepped around the broken wall and tossed another table into the crowd. "Anyways... a French astronomer named Nicolas Louis de Lacaille was the one to introduce this constellation during the 18th century," he meowed. "It's the 75th largest constellation... out of 88.. which means it's small." He laughed.
For effect, Jayfeather tosses a table into the crowd. A shrill screech sounds, and the guards rush to retrieve another dead body.
"Wow, I'm officially a serial killer now!" Jayfeather exclaimed.
The guards abandon the body and rush to Jayfeather.
Brick stepped out onto the stage as Jayfeather was being wrestled into paw-cuffs. "We'll be back in a... bit."
