[The Scene: Various heroes are trying to make sense of Space Ghost’s chapter.]
Finny: Blind! I’m blind!
Dark Knight: *snipes Space Ghost*
Visionary: So, Crusty, er, Pete, what are you trying to tell us?
Yo: Yes, please to be summarising the story for the puzzlement of Yo-Beings.
De Brown Streak: Yeah, and explain how it is that loads of extra heroes have crept in to this lonely desolate windswept tavern since the start of chapter 1.
Dynamite Boy: BOOM!
Dynamite Boy: Sorry, burritos.
Let’s just call him Pete: Aaagh, maties! I’m trying to explain how the cursed treasure got lost and of the mad old witch’s prophesy that it shall be discovered this very night!!
Everybody: How the cursed treasure got lost and of the mad old witch’s prophesy that it shall be discovered this very night?
LJCPete: Yes, how the cursed treasure got lost and of the mad old witch’s prophesy that it shall be discovered this very night!!
*Dramatic pause*
*Thunder*
Dynamite Boy: Sorry. Burritos again.
Donar: But I hast not understanding how we ist all gathered here.
Waitress Sarah Shepherdson, serving grog to the heroes (on holiday job): Beats me *secret smile*
Ziles: So that bit about the cursed treasure and the mad old witch…?
Hatman, looking guiltily at Sorceress: Hey, I never mentioned your grandmother. I never said anything. Did I say anything, Troia?
CrazySugarFreakBoy: And that bit about another of my infinite string of incredibly continuity-convoluted ancestors…?
LCHPete: Aarr! The cursed treasure that was behind all that plot we’re skipping o’er was lost and hidden and according to the prophesy from the mad old witch in the woods will be found tonight, along with the Curse of the Sea Ghost. ‘Tis said he shall return from his grave to prevent the treasure being found and do unspeakable things with his hook!
Trickshot: He has a hooked hand?
LCHPete: Nope.
G-Eyed: A hooked foot?
LCHPete: Nope.
Exile: Then… what?
Dancer: Let’s just say, you wouldn’t want a second date with him.
Troia: And this Sea Ghost will come and… get anybody who comes hunting for the treasure?
*Another crash of thunder. All the lights go out. There is a scream and a terrible rumbling noise*
Lisa: Please say that was the burritos too, Dynamite Boy.
Dynamite Boy: Er, no. Sorry. I can definitely report that no longer suffering from constipation.
