Episode 43. Akuma's Miscarriage, part 3

 November 2, 2008; 7.00 PM

 

1 AKUMA

If I had known you would take Orion up on his offer, I would have told you.

 

2 ILLYBRIUS stares blankly at Akuma

 

3 EPIPHANY

   [You don't know him very well, do you?]

 

4 EVRYN

I think he prefers "knowing" Orion.

 

5 AKUMA

It doesn’t matter now. I need another blanket.

 

6 SIGYN

Well, that's understandable. Yours got wet.

 

7 EPIPHANY

[Akuma IS a wet blanket.]

 

8 AKUMA

WEHHHHHHHHHT.

 

9 ILLYBRIUS

It does matter, but it cannot be changed.

 

10 AKUMA

No. What’s done is done. It’s over and forgiven.

 

11 EPIPHANY

   [Translation: Shut up! Stop arguing with me!]

 

12 ILLYBRIUS

I’ll try to recreate it when I’m sober.

 

13 AKUMA

You mean the bond?

 

14 EVRYN

No, the fucking studio building. It needs to be re-built due to water damage. The fuck you think?

 

15 ILLYBRIUS

Yes.

 

16 enter ORION

 

17 ORION

I do believe we have a problem, Mr. Falcon.

 

18 ILLYBRIUS

What?

 

19 EPIPHANY

   [Akuma's angst levels have dropped dangerously low!]

   [We need to boost them!]

 

20 OVD

Should have let her DROWN, ILLYBRIUS.

 

21 ILLYBRIUS

Well excuuuuuuuuuse me.

 

22 EPIPHANY, anger marks

[YOU ARE NOT EXCUSED.]

   

23 ORION

I don’t think my sister can carry this child.

 

24 EPIPHANY

[OH MY FUCKING GOD]

[ IS HE STILL ON ABOUT THAT?]

 

25 ILLYBRIUS

She’s a Meliara of Fertility. She can choose to wish the child out of existence.

 

26 EPIPHANY

[Can she wish the child into existence? Why can't she will the child into not miscarrying?]

 

27 EVRYN

With Drakoste magic, she should be able to.

 

28 EPIPHANY

[She just doesn't WANT to.]

 

29 EVRYN

That, or Enzeru wangstmachine magic cancels it out.

 

30 ORION

The child is bound to her magic, which is gone, and with no bond, she can’t draw on anything. Not only that, it seems with no bond, the child isn’t taking well.

 

31 EPIPHANY

   [Translation: Shut up with your logical solutions and worry about her!]

 

32 ILLYBRIUS

I’m reaching out to her now. Akuma? Can she feel me at all?

 

33 ORION

She can’t feel anything yet.

 

34 EPIPHANY

[WHY ARE YOU TALKING FOR HER, ONION?]

 

35 ORION

Keep trying. Lee, if you had to choose, would it be Akuma or the child? I must know.

 

36 MARIE

FUCK THE SHUT.

 

37 EPIPHANY

   [ Is this REALLY the appropriate time for this?]

 

38 MARIE

No! It's NEVER the appropriate time for this!

 

39 ILLYBRIUS

Akuma. I--I would choose Akuma to live if it came to that.

 

40 SERLEINA high kicks

FOOLISH FOOL!

 

41 ORION

I will be certain to use everything, should it come to that.

 

42 ILLYBRIUS

I--I adore you both. But damn it all to hell, our lives are fucked up.

 

43 EPIPHANY

   [ {you-dont-say.jpg} ]

 

44 OVD

   Epiphany, watch the anachronisms. This is 2008.

   

  45 EPIPHANY makes a fart noise

 

46 OVD

What are you, five?

 

47 EVRYN

Six, actually. She's six. And you did the same thing.

   

48a AKUMA

I can’t feel anything. It’s like I’m trapped in my own head. This sucks.

 

48b EVRYN

Must be so lonely with your lack of brain cells.

 

48c EPIPHANY

[something something locked in syndrome something something]

[ I don't even care right now.]

 

49 MARIE

If she really did have that, she wouldn't be able to talk right now.

 

50 EPIPHANY

[And that would be great.]

 

51 ILLYBRIUS, poking Akuma

Miss Akuma? Can you feel this?

 

52 AKUMA

No. I feel nothing.

 

53 CUE MUSIC: Zydrate Anatomy

 

54 ILLYBRIUS

I was reaching out for you. Damn.

 

55 ORION

Stop that, Akuma. You don’t need to lose more blood.

 

56 EPIPHANY rolls eyes

   [Just get her a full wangst transfusion.]

 

57 AKUMA

It’s your fault.

 

58 ILLYBRIUS

What for?

 

59 SIGYN

Yeah, why isn't it my fault for drowning you?

 

60 EPIPHANY

[Why isn't it Onion's fault for failing to tell Illybrius about this important thing that he made up after the fact? Unless Corri planned ahead for this, which also wouldn't surprise me, actually.]

 

61 EVRYN

If Corri plans ahead for anything, she has no excuse to be this inconsistent.

 

62 AKUMA

He threw salt acid in my eyes and blinded me during one of our battles. Because he made it with Enzeru magic, it went to the soul to damage it.

 

63 EPIPHANY

[ It's salt. He made salt. With magic.]

 

64 SERLEINA

YO, TEAM CORRI! WHY SO SALTEOUS?

 

65 AKUMA

He destroyed my tear ducts.

 

66 EVRYN

Actually, that would be your tear GLANDS that he destroyed.  Tear ducts don’t work that way.  Then again, I’m not too sure about tear glands, but it seems more plausible. Epiphany, help me out?

 

67 EPIPHANY

   [Your tear ducts are the little tubes that allow tears to drain into your sinuses. You can actually see the tops of them as small holes on the edges of your eyelids towards the inner corner of the eye.]

   [Without them, people would end up crying a lot more from too much buildup of tears being produced at the normal rate required to keep the eyes lubricated.]

[And what you said about tear glands is exactly right.]

 

68 ORION

I said sorry.

 

69a AKUMA

Bite me.

 

69b. SIGYN

Didn’t Dural do enough of that during the Pilot?

 

69c. AKUMA

I don’t want to talk about the Pilot.

 

70 USAGI

Cut it out. This is the LAST thing we need right now. We’ve got a drunk host, a heartbroken god, an ass of a demon, and a powerless pregnant goddess. AND the fucking studio flooded, so now we're filming in the wasteland that is Niland.

 

71 REIYA?

At least it isn't Brawley.

 

72 USAGI

We need to figure out what the hell we’re gonna do about this.

 

73 ORION

Nothing.

 

74 USAGI

Let’s have that “nothing” mean no senseless bickering, too

 

75 ORION

As you wish.

 

76 ILLYBRIUS

Disaster. This is all a damn disaster.

 

77 AKUMA

Ik jinab fuq qudil.

 

78 EPIPHANY

   [Who is Qudil and why is someone fucking them?]

 

79 ORION

Akuma, that won’t help.

 

80 AKUMA

Cockbite.

 

81 EVRYN

I don’t know but apparently Qudil bit their cock.

 

82 ORION

Neither will that.

 

  83 EPIPHANY

   [Qudil must suck at sucking.]

 

  84 EVRYN

   And I'll bet they don't even swallow.

 

85 ILLYBRIUS

Stop it, please.

 

  86 EVRYN

   Oh my gods! ILLYBRIUS is Qudil!

 

87a ORION

And there she goes again. Not good.

 

87b. OREGANO

~There she goes again

Wiping the tears from her eyes~

 

88 EVRYN

It’s my job. I’m Commentary.

 

89 ILLYBRIUS

Akuma—

 

90 AKUMA

Go men Nazi, Kibito.

 

  91 EPIPHANY

   [NO.]

   [NO BEING SORRY FOR NAZIS.]

   [And I can't even put a good line here about burning you because ovens.]

   [You suck.]

 

92 SIGYN

Yeah, but at least she doesn't bite cock.

 

93 DREPANON

Not since her discipline kicked in~

 

  94 EVRYN

   No, see, she's telling the male Nazis to go forth and be tree people!

 

  95 EPIPHANY

   [. . . Can I hug you later?]

 

  96 EVRYN

Of course!

 

97 ILLYBRIUS

Whatever for?

 

98 AKUMA

I am sorry for ever cursing you with this burden.

 

99 EVRYN

If you’re talking about your existence, you should apologize to ALL the gods.

 

100 EPIPHANY

   [And if you're talking about my rigour mortis, it has nothing to do with you.]

 

  101 EVRYN

   And if you're talking about my sobriety, then GIVE MY FUCKING FLASK BACK, YOU DIPSHIT!

 

102 AKUMA

WUH! It's not my fault you weren't paying attention and your flask sunk like the Titanic!

 

103 SIGYN

TOO SOON!

 

104 OREGANO

~ WE'RE GOING DOWN, DOWN, IN AN EARLIER ROUND, AND SUGAR WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING~

 

105 ILLYBRIUS

What burden? Our situations are difficult, but I have never considered you a burden.

 

106 EVRYN

Unlike literally everyone else on the show.

 

107 EPIPHANY

[ I'm still counting this as telling Illybrius what he should be feeling.]

 

108 ILLYBRIUS

I merely consider my lack of ability to do any damn thing a fucking nuisance.

 

109 AKUMA

My love is a burden. I should never have told you.

 

110 EPIPHANY

[OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!]

 

111 ILLYBRIUS

Your love is not a burden.

 

112 AKUMA

I see it as such.

 

113 ORION

And if Lee saw it as such, he would tell you. Now shut up and be happy.

 

114 EPIPHANY's jaw drops a little

   [. . .]

   [Who are you and what have you done with Onion?]

 

115 ILLYBRIUS

That’s a strange thing to tell a woman who’s been through what she has in the past… all.

 

116 ORION

Well, she needs to know that you aren’t going to leave her and that this is her final chance.

 

117 OREGANO

~it's the final countdown~

 

118 ORION

 Even if my host wasn’t screaming at me to help her, I would because, well, she reminds me of myself.

 

119 EPIPHANY

[Don't you want to kill her?]

 

120 ORION

Don’t ask anymore.

 

121 EPIPHANY

[NO! I WILL ask more!]

[Didn't you ALSO rape her?]

[and put her in a coma, knowing it could cause a stupid shiny magical miscarriage?]

[and then blame Illybrius for all these things?]

 

122 EVRYN

If you ask me, Illybrius should have let them both drown.

 

123 ILLYBRIUS

I do not ever abandon someone in need.

 

124 AKUMA

Thank you.

 

125 EVRYN

FUCK YOU IN THE FACE.

 

126 SIGYN

Don't, she might forget her discipline and bite your, uhh, strap-on, I guess?

 

127 SERLEINA

That would be MY strap-on, thank yoooouuuu.

 

128 ORION

Done crying now? Good, drink.

 

129 ILLYBRIUS

Good idea. Where’d I put that bottle?

 

130 DREPANON

What bottle? I didn't take your bottle. How very dare you accuse me of such a thing.

 

131 AKUMA

I don’t drink youko blood.

 

132a ORION

You do now.

 

132b. MARIE

You were earlier… weren’t you? I’m pretty sure I remember the label changing in the stage direction.

 

132c. AKUMA

MUHHHHHHHHHHH.

 

133 ILLYBRIUS

Blood is good for you. Bottoms up.

 

134 AKUMA

No.

 

135a ORION

Hang on. She is going to drink this.

 

135b. SIGYN

Wow, you really *are* Meta’s best friend.

 

136 ILLYBRIUS

I don’t think it’s a good idea to force her to do anything.

 

137 EVRYN

Maybe you should have told him that before he raped her? Just a thought.

 

138 EPIPHANY

   [ Idea: Let her know that, if she drinks it, she'll potentially be in danger from the fox's comrades seeking retribution. She'll chug like a train.]

 

139 ORION

If she doesn’t drink this, the child is in danger. Take your pick.

 

140 EPIPHANY

   [Because Akuma has no agency and, thus, all decisions about her wellbeing must be made by the men in her life.]

 

141 ILLYBRIUS

I’m not getting involved any further. Do as you wish.

 

142 ORION

You should be involved. This is your child.

 

143 SERLEINA

HINT HINT, SALOME!

 

144 EVRYN

Who the fuck is Salome?

 

145 OVD

Trust me. You DON'T want to know.

 

146 EVRYN

Whatever, she's probably just some drama queen.

 

147 OVD

. . . I . . . Y-you. . .

 

148 EUGENIE

You have no idea, dearie.

 

149 AKUMA

No, I’m drinking it, okay?

 

150 EPIPHANY

[Maybe it's the blood of some girl NAMED Youko?]

[ I know some Beatles fans who would help out with that.]

 

151 EVRYN

Dude, if Vaan were here, this wouldn't even be an issue.

 

152 SIGYN

If Vaan were here, there would be a whole nother issue.

 

153 EVRYN

Oh. Right. You.

 

154 SIGYN

N--no! I meant, like, in Lucky when he threatened to make her his mate?

 

155 EVRYN

Oh.

 

156 SIGYN

Vaan Sr. is hotter anyway.

 

157 ILLYBRIUS

Good.  

 

158 EVRYN

Why, did you have dibs on Junior?

 

159 ILLYBRIUS, hurriedly

By the way, the combination of cola and beer won’t cause one to throw up, will it?

 

160 AKUMA

I know you can have a whiskey and coke. Speaking of which…

 

161 ORION

No.

 

162 AKUMA

Damn.

 

163 ILLYBRIUS

Then what the hell did I eat?

 

164 USAGI

Let me think… ABSINTHE?!

 

165 ORION

Pending nothing happens in two months she will be past the danger period, then in four months you will have a child.

 

166 EPIPHANY

   [Bullshit.]

   [Akuma's always in danger.]

 

167 ILLYBRIUS

I… don’t want her to die.

 

168a SERLEINA

THAT MAKES EXACTLY ONE OF US. INCLUDING AKUMA.

 

168b. TOKIOMI

Two of us, if you count me.

 

168c. SERLEINA

Oh yeah. I keep forgetting she has a fan because the idea of Akuma having fans is just so ricockulous.

 

169 ORION

If the child doesn’t take or drains her too much, I promise I will abort the child for her safety.

 

170 ROSEMARY

Really?

 

171 EPIPHANY

   [He's completely serious.]

 

172 EVRYN

Jealous, Ro? I know you wanted to abort at least one of your kids, and having met them, I really don't blame you.

 

173 ROSEMARY

Maybe I am a bot, but I think Akuma should be involved in the decision of whether or not to abort the child, and that a medical professional, not a fuckdemon, should be the one to perform the operation, if it is to be.

 

174 ORION

The first 48 hours are the worst because you never know if the seed will take and hold.

 

175 EPIPHANY

[ I would ask why she can't make that decision for herself, but then I remembered that of COURSE she can't make decisions for herself and that's why there's always another character to decide for her, every single time.]

 

176 SIGYN

As a lifestyle choice, that could be okay, but in this case, no. It's just boring drama.

 

177 ORION

She could still lose the child at any time now.

 

178 EPIPHANY

   [Translation: So don't you DARE start worrying less!]

 

179 ORION

However, that is very dangerous.

 

180 EPIPHANY

   [No shit.]

 

181 EUGENIE

I've built a brand new "However Shame Corner". Go. Now.

 

182 ORION

Wuhhhhhh.

 

183 ORION, in the However Shame Corner

At this point, losing the child could take her with it.

 

184 EPIPHANY

[nobody cares anymore]

 

185 ROSEMARY

How are the living conditions?

 

186 EVRYN

He doesn't have to LIVE in the However Shame Corner!

 

187 EUGENIE

Unless he keeps this up!

 

188 EVRYN

Come now, Mum, we all know he's a Priapic demon. He can keep it up as long as he wants.

 

189 EUGENIE

. . . Right, so for each additional time Orion uses the word "However," someone must point at him and yell, "Shame!"

 

190 SIGYN

So, um, are all Priapic demons--

 

191 EVRYN

SIGYN WHAT THE FUCK DOES PRIAPUS MEAN.

 

192 SIGYN

Oh. Hmmm....

 

193 DREPANON

We grow into it with age.

 

194 ILLYBRIUS

I meant after the birth of the child. I don’t want to lose Akuma.

 

195 ORION

By law, because she has no mate, then the child is supposed to be killed after its birth. However--

 

196 PEOPLE

SHAME!

 

197 ORION

--should you still want them both, if the child survives, I am sure Akuma will want to renew the bond.

 

198 EPIPHANY

   [The contrived peril here is so cheap I think Corri must have outsourced its manufacture overseas.]

 

199 ILLYBRIUS

The--what you told me earlier. It said Akuma would die after the child’s birth.

 

200 ORION

It meant our fight. She would not survive our next fight.

 

201 EPIPHANY

   [ I don't remember that. I'm pretty sure you said earlier that Illybrius would have to choose between her and the foetus.]

   [Or, at least, heavily implied it.]

 

202 ORION

Don't ask me to keep my story straight! How rude of you.

 

203 ILLYBRIUS

Then don’t fight. I love both of you.

 

204 EVRYN takes a shot

 

205 EPIPHANY

[WHY THOUGH]

[WHY AND HOW]

 

206 TOKIOMI

I don't get it. He's sleeping with both of them, right? Why wouldn't he love them both?

 

207 ILLYBRIUS

I do not think I could bear losing either of you.

 

208 ORION

You want us to ignore Fate?

 

209 EPIPHANY

   [Translation: Shut up and stop offering reasonable solutions to the problem!]

 

210 EVRYN

Why would you want to ignore Fate? That game is amazing! I mean, the anime sucked, but--

 

211 ILLYBRIUS

I believe you can make your own fate.

 

212 EVRYN

Sort of, but there ARE 40 Bad Ends.

 

213 OREGANO

~GOTTA CATCH EM A-ALL!~

 

214 ILLYBRIUS

You are at peace now. Why not always?

 

215 ORION

By demon law, I cannot harm those with child.

 

216 EPIPHANY

   [You have a weird definition of demon.]

 

217 DREPANON

Hey, do I come into your realm and piss all over your legislature?

 

218 SIGYN

Um, I've seen your Facebook posts. You do exactly that.

 

219 DREPANON

No, I don't. You must be misinterpreting my posts. And we're not friends on Facebook!

 

220 SIGYN

It's not my fault you keep your posts public because you like the attention.

 

221 ORION

I would rather lose my place as general than harm a child.

 

222 EPIPHANY

[So about that coma earlier...]

 

223 ORION

Demon childer are rare. 1 out of every 200 survives.

 

224 SIGYN

UM. Hi. I'm dating a demon, whose father is a demon, and possibly the actual devil, or at the very least, king of all the demons.

 

225 DREPANON

Just the one realm, actually.

 

226 SIGYN

So believe me when I say that that was all complete and utter BULLSHIT. Your statistics are stupid and you should feel stupid.

 

227 EVRYN

Agreed, but can we discuss your taste in men for a second?

 

228 SIGYN

What do you mean? My taste in men is flawless. As are the men.

 

229 EVRYN

AARGLE RAARGLE! DEMONS! YOU JUST SAID! DEMONS! AND THEIR DEMON DICKS!

 

230 CORRI

DIIIIIIID SOMEBODY SAY DEMON DICK?

 

231 SERLEINA

NO! SHE CLEARLY SAID "FLEA MARKET"! JEEZ, CORRI, WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR HEARING CHECKED?

 

232 CORRI

Oh...

 

233 [b][sadquit Corri][/b]

 

234 ILLYBRIUS

And afterwards?

 

235 ORION

Out of fifty of those that are born, maybe two will survive if we are lucky.

 

236 EPIPHANY

   [ Ignoring the fact that you just changed the mortality rate on the fly, you have a high miscarriage rate and a high infant fatality rate.]

   [Please tell me that the average demon pregnancy is like that of a nurse shark.]

 

  237 ORION

Demons do NOT have sex with nurse sharks! How can you SAY that?!

 

  238 EPIPHANY

   [ I didn't, but good to know you always have bestiality on the mind.]

   [A nurse shark starts with many fertilised eggs, but only gives birth to one of them.]

   [The foetuses are only given enough nutrition from the mother for them to grow large enough to eat.]

   [From that point on, they're forced to cannibalise each other or starve.]

 

  239 ORION

What do I care about shark fuh-too-sis-es?

 

  240 EPIPHANY

   [. . . You have zero reading comprehension skills, don’t you?]

 

  241 ORION

I can't even READ! I have a CONDITION! BAAAWWWWWWWWWW

 

  242 EPIPHANY

   [You can't read?]

 

  243 ORION

Not in English

 

 244  EPIPHANY looks at sign

   [What language do you think I've been writing in?]

 

  245 ORION

Epiphanese?

 

  246 EPIPHANY's jaw drops a little in disbelief.

   [. . .]

   [ I'm not sure if you're making fun of me for English being my third language, or if you're just that stupid.]

 

  247 ORION

SHUT UP! STOP POKING HOLES IN MY LOGIC!

 

  248 EPIPHANY

   [Well, that answers that, then.]

 

249 SIGYN

You know, with brains like that, you could be the President.

 

250 ORION

Wait, who's the president now?

 

251 EVRYN

At the time of current setting or when we’re editing this script?

 

252 ORION

Current setting.

 

253 EVRYN

George W. Bush.

 

254 ORION

Oh, okay, yeah, that's fair. I mean, HEY! Okay, what about time of scriptification?

 

257 EVRYN

Donald Trump.

 

258 ORION

No, seriously.

 

259 EVRYN

...

 

260 ORION

Do you think just because I'm illiterate that I don't watch TV? Because you're wrong. That's a joke from The Simpsons.

 

261 EVRYN

Yeah, not in 2019. But good news! If you ever decide to be President after him, you'll already have a clear precedent for your literacy level and intelligence!

 

262 ORION

SWEET, THANKS! Hey, Mama! I'm gonna be the President of the United States!

 

263a. SERLEINA

TEXT MESSAGE!!!

 

263b. SERLEINA, phone pose

 She says that's nice, but you're still a failing failure who fails, especially if your best hope is rivalling Donald Trump.

 

264 EPIPHANY

[ Is anyone going to point out that he has as much of a chance of becoming the President of the United States as I do?]

 

265 ORION

Not necessarily. You have to be age 35 and a citizen of the United States for a certain amount of years. Chronologically I'm much older, and who knows how long I've been living here?

 

266 EPIPHANY

[Were you or either of your parents born in the United States?]

 

267 ORION

No, stupid. I'm older than the United States!

 

268 EPIPHANY

[Then you can't be the President!]

 

269 ORION

What? No! No fair! I'd make a way better president than Donald Trump!

 

270 EVRYN

True, but laws are laws, you know?

 

271 ORION

I guess someone should break the news to Drepanon, then, that he can't run either.

 

272 DREPANON

You're aware that demons are adept at forging documents to get around in your little human governments, right?

 

273 SIGYN

Seriously?! Then why the hell can't Meta forge us a marriage certificate?

 

274 DREPANON

Because I asked him not to.

 

275 SIGYN

Why are you like this?

 

276 DREPANON

Why are you? You fall apart every time you have to be away from him for more than a couple of hours. Who could stand that? Who could stand you?

 

277. SIGYN

*reaction shot*

 

278 ILLYBRIUS

Orion. In the short time I have known you, I have fallen in love with you.

 

279 EVRYN

Nice try, but they're not gonna let you be the First... whatever you are.

 

280 ILLYBRIUS

Maharus. Hmm. I would be the first, First Maharus.

 

281 DREPANON

Yeah, I'm not forging documents for someone who can't even be bothered to learn to read, so good luck with that.

 

282 ILLYBRIUS

Thank you! Now to blackmail some politicians into changing some laws in Orion's and my favor... Hmm, I'll need to consult with Marigold Endicott. If anyone knows blackmail, it's Marigold. Blackmail: Because you CAN always get what you want!

 

283 EPIPHANY

[ Is somebody going to tell him what it takes to amend the Constitution?]

 

284 ILLYBRIUS

I was going to try magical date rape pheromones, an Exordia Emporium, and a few well-placed memory spells. Why? Do you have a better suggestion?

 

285 EVRYN

Yeah. Literally anything but that.

 

286 ILLYBRIUS

... I'll ask Marigold.

 

287 EVRYN

Another person whom I don't know who the fuck she is.

 

288 SIGYN

Dude, she was on the show last month!

 

289 EVRYN

Let me guess, yet another drama queen?

 

290 EUGENIE

Technically, a drama princess regent. Or dowager. I forgot the exact term. Gosh and golly, she's old.

 

291 EVRYN

Oh dear gods, where do you find these people?

 

292a. SIGYN, proudly

I found them! How do you think I talked OVD into PAYING me to watch the show?

 

292b. EVRYN

Didn’t he say he pays you in thoughts and prayers?

 

293 REIYA

Evryn, how do you not remember who Marigold is? She was in the Yali episode back in October.

 

294 SIGYN

As I said.

 

295 EVRYN

Must've been blackout sober that day.

 

296 ILLYBRIUS

However--

 

297 EUGENIE

Do you want to go into the Corner? I don't think you want to go into the Corner.

 

298 ILLYBRIUS

NOBODY PUTS ILLYBRIUS IN THE CORNER!

 

299 SERLEINA

WANNA BET?

 

300 ILLYBRIUS

-- if you are in any way responsible for Miss Akuma’s demise, I shall not stand by you.

 

301 ORION

I understand. But you do know it is our fate.

 

302 EPIPHANY

[So, what I'm hearing here is that Illybrius should just kill Onion now and save himself the trouble.]

 

303 ORION

I am not meant to belong here and she will want her brother back someday.

 

304 EPIPHANY

[See?]

 

305 ILLYBRIUS

Not all prophecies or scriptures come to pass. I do not believe in a preordained fate. It’s choices. Trying to know what’s in the future is a damn fool idea.

 

306 EPIPHANY

   [ Illybrius rejects the functionality of Laplace's Demon because he believes in a non-deterministic universe.]

 

  307 EVRYN

Laplace?

 

  308 EPIPHANY

   [Pierre-Simon Laplace was a mathematician and astronomer who lived in the 18th and early 19th century.]

   [He published the first articulation of causal determinism by positing that, were there an intelligence that knew the location and momentum of every particle in the universe at one instant, it could then use that data to calculate all past and future states of the universe.]

   [The intelligence described has since been named "Laplace's Demon".]

[But Laplace's Demon only works if the universe is deterministic.]

   [Whether it is or not is unknown, and possibly unknowable]

 

309 ORION

Very well then. Akuma, do you understand his wish?

 

310 AKUMA

Yes.

 

311 ORION

Kunno oui nautsi na sadi we.

 

312 AKUMA

Anata gretten buil grue yven.

 

313 EPIPHANY

   [ I'm guessing they said "We are going to ignore it." and "You didn't have to tell me."]

 

314 AKUMA

There. I made peace.

 

313 ILLYBRIUS

Merci, ma pomme.

 

314 ORION

As have I.

 

315 ILLYBRIUS

Thank you as well.

 

316 AKUMA

Ncyuxic.

 

317 ORION

Will you stop calling me that?

 

318 ILLYBRIUS

Aquarium log?

 

319 AKUMA

No. I called him a cockbite.

 

320 ORION

If you weren’t with child…

 

321 EVRYN

She’d bite your cock?

 

  322 EPIPHANY

   [Or he'd bite hers.]

 

323 EVRYN

Yes, or that.

 

  324 AKUMA

Don't do that! It won't lay eggs if it's bitten!

 

  325 EPIPHANY

   [Roosters don't lay eggs.]

 

  326 AKUMA

But then why are there always little colorful eggs with coins in them in its nest?

   

  327 EVRYN giggles

 

328 ILLYBRIUS

*laughs* Stop arguing.

 

329 AKUMA

Sure.

 

330 ORION

Thank you.

 

331 AKUMA

Cockbite.

 

332 ILLYBRIUS

That is not stopping.

 

333 EPIPHANY

   [ I'm starting to sense a pattern here.]

 

334 ORION

I’m going to get you some food. Sit. Stay. Good bitch.

 

335 SERLEINA

ARF! Also, what did Illybrius JUST SAY.

 

336 exit ORION (Serleina: Oh, okay, you’re just gonna stagequit. That’s REAL MATURE, ONION.)]

 

337 EPIPHANY

   [Yep. Definitely a pattern.]

 

338 ILLYBRIUS

Owwww. I think I drank too much.

 

339 AKUMA

Six months if nothing happens, Lee.

 

340 ILLYBRIUS

Huh?

 

341 EPIPHANY

   [She said, "Don't you dare start talking about your own issues."]

 

342 AKUMA

If the child fully takes, it will be six months before the child is born.

 

343 ILLYBRIUS

I know.

 

344 EPIPHANY

[That's not how babies work at all whatsoever.]

 

345 EVRYN

Enjerus 'R' Diffint.

 

346 EPIPHANY

[ Is she saying that the zygote doesn't implant in the uterus until some arbitrary point and could be passed at any time before that?]

 

347 EVRYN

Epiphany?

 

348 EPIPHANY

[ I know, I know.]

 

349 EVRYN

Diffint.

 

350 EPIPHANY

[BUT STILL! THIS IS STUPID!]

 

351 SERLEINA

Stupid? THIS! IS!

 

352 SERLEINA, high kick

FOOLISH!

 

353 AKUMA

I’m… not ready for this.

 

354 SERLEINA kicks out her other leg

FOOLISH!

 

355 AKUMA falls into the Void

UWAAAAAHHHH!

 

356 ILLYBRIUS

I’m sorry.

 

357 AKUMA, covered in ink

It’s in the past.

 

358 EPIPHANY

[But seriously, does that mean that for the first three months, it grows without having a placenta?]

 

359 EVRYN

I don't have a Watsonian answer for that one, so I'm moving on.

 

360 ILLYBRIUS

Oh my. I wish this water would hydrate my system faster. I’m more emotional and… aroused… when drunk.

 

361 AKUMA

It takes me a long time to get drunk and never lasts long. No hangovers, either.

 

362 ILLYBRIUS

Lucky.

 

363 AKUMA

Gifted.

 

364 SERLEINA, standing on Akuma's chest

FOOLISH.

 

365 SIGYN

I only ever get hungover when someone slips me a mickey.

 

366 AKUMA

GREAT. THANKS FOR SHARING.

 

367 SIGYN

~Hey it's okay, it's okay, you're welcome~!
