Episode 39: Skye's Entry

 1.          TITLE

Skye’s Entry

 

2.          SETTING

Hotel California

 

Note: Skye’s voice is like Ryan’s, but deeper (so use Old Man and speak an octave lower for his lines)

 

3.          SKYE

I was minding the temple alone today when the portal opened. 

 

4.          ROSEMARY

That was so random... You aren't really that clever, are you?

 

5.          EPIPHANY

[Tell me more about the security specs on this portal.]

 

6.          EVRYN

I assume it was a random portal that the intruder opened, not a specific portal-able area with security specs.

 

7.          EPIPHANY

[That would have been clearer if he'd used "a" instead of "the".]

 

8.          EVRYN

Corri wrote his lines and you're expecting him to be clear?

 

9.          EPIPHANY

[A girl can dream. Sort of.]

 

10.        OREGANO

~ I DREAMED A DREAM OF TIME GONE BYYYYY~

 

11.        SKYE

The Maya-Hone came through, but he seemed to be out of sorts.  

 

12.        EPIPHANY

[This is my caring face.]

 

13.        SKYE

There were tears in his eyes and it seemed as though he had been through hell.  

 

14.        ROSEMARY

Welcome to Hotel California.

 

15.        EPIPHANY

["You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."]

[Kind of like this show.]

 

16.        DREPANON, in the Audience

No, that's Hellevator.

 

17.        SIGYN

Are you high?

 

18.        DREPANON

I have to be. I'm sitting next to you.

 

19.        SKYE

He looked up at me and I almost broke under the waves of guilt I felt when he locked eyes with me.

 

20.        EPIPHANY

[Still my caring face.]

 

21.        MAHEONE

"Where is she?"

 

22.        SKYE

he asked, his voice breaking.

 

23.        ROSEMARY

We were never together!

 

24.        TOKIOMI

Rosemary, you dated Drepanon. I don't think you get to defend your taste in men ever.

 

25.        ROSEMARY

That's funny, coming from you.

 

26.        SKYE

"Um… I think Drake took her flying today. You're hurting, My Lord. Please.  Let me try to ease your pain,"

I said, moving towards him.

 

27.        EPIPHANY

[Please tell me that Corri's need to have Akuma be the center of everything is going to override her usual "magic sex fixes everything" M.O.]

 

28.        MAHEONE

"No," 

 

29.        EPIPHANY

[ I hate you.]

 

30.        SKYE

--he said, looking down.  

 

31.        MAHEONE

"After what I did to him, I don't deserve it."

 

32.        EPIPHANY rolls eyes

[Oh boy, here we go.]

 

33.        SKYE

"Did something happen at the Day of Everlast of your bonded?" I asked cautiously.

 

34.        EVRYN

Nothing we want to know about!

 

35.        MAHEONE

"He's not my bonded and after what I did the other night…

 

36.        EPIPHANY

[Translation: BAWWWWWWWWWWW]

 

37.        MAHEONE

He can never be my bonded.  

 

38.        ROSEMARY

Really.

 

39.        MAHEONE

Not after what I caused," 

 

40.        SKYE

--he said, almost breaking down.

 

41.        EVRYN

No! Bad Corri! Bad!

 

42.        SKYE

I suddenly heard several sets of footsteps but the first brought in my niece Akumano.  

 

43.        EPIPHANY

[Your security response time is abysmal.]

 

44.        EVRYN

They live in a village in Bass Ackwardsopia. What security response time?

 

45.        EPIPHANY

[Point taken.]

 

46.        ROSEMARY

I take it you mean that metaphorically? Also, why don't you care?

 

47.        EVRYN

Because no one cares?

 

48.        EPIPHANY, still deadpan

[But this IS my caring face.]

 

49.        SKYE

She took one look at the maharus that so often came to visit us and flung herself into his arms.  

 

50.        ROSEMARY

I have looked death in the face and said those words. No one should be afraid of death but at the same time they should be very afraid.

 

51.        EPIPHANY

[ I'd say that I used to be afraid of death, but, really, we were vacationing in fucking AUSTRALIA. No-one who fears death does that.]

 

52.        EVRYN

I'm sure Davy Jones would be very dissatisfied about that.

 

53.        SKYE

It was like the minute she was there he broke.  

 

54.        ROSEMARY

My bot heart leaps with joy at the approval in your words.

 

55.        SKYE

Harsh sobs were ripped from his throat as he clung to her and cried.

 

56.        EPIPHANY

[A grown man sobbing on the shoulder of a little girl?]

[ I mean, no offense to certain parties who know who they are, but, seriously, Corri?]

[This is what you're going with?]

 

57.        EVRYN

It could be much, much worse.

 

58.        ROSEMARY

I never implied that I thought that. I'm sorry if it came across that way.

 

59.        EVRYN

No, I think that. Don’t co-opt my thoughts.

 

60.        ROSEMARY

The rudest of bots.

 

61.        SKYE

Torin, Dante, and Drake showed up not soon after and stopped in shock at the sight of our demi-god crying.  

 

62.        EPIPHANY

[Are you sure that's why they were shocked?]

 

63.        SKYE

Without asking I pulled out my pearl and began to calm him by focusing my calm emotions into him.  

 

64.        EPIPHANY

[You know, that's a crime, like, everywhere.]

 

65.        EVRYN

What, copying Jasper from Twilight?

 

66.        EPIPHANY

[Using empathic powers to influence someone without their consent.]

 

67.        EVRYN

So that would be a 'yes', then.

 

68.        SIGYN

Wait, so that’s bad, then? Huh. Who knew? Well, luckily, what the feds don’t know can’t hurt me~

 

69.        ROSEMARY

Exactly, we are both busy, so we cannot possibly be together in real life as boyfriend and girlfriend tomorrow.

 

70.        EPIPHANY, Spock eyebrow

[What.]

 

71.        ROSEMARY

I'm a potato. SPUD UP!

 

72.        EPIPHANY

[ I can't wait to see the show YOU'RE watching.]

 

73.        ROSEMARY, off key

~ SPUD UP, POWER TATERS!~

 

74.        SERLEINA

~ NA, NA, NA, NA~

 

75.        SKYE

It seemed to work, for his sobs began to ease up.

 

76.        EPIPHANY

[Because Akuma is just so very amazing?]

 

77.        ROSEMARY

Yes, that's exactly it.

 

78.        EVRYN

Or possibly because Skye's emotion mind-rape is just so very effective. Because he's a Corri Sue.

 

79.        EPIPHANY

[Oh.]

 

80.        SKYE

"Drake, get the women to prepare a light meal for Our Lord and warm drinks.” 

 

81.        EVRYN

Um, no, Skye, you should make the sandwich your own damn self, unless your cooking is just so very toxic that no-one would want to eat it ever. 

 

82.        SKYE

“Dante, please get them to make ready his rooms.”  

 

83.        EVRYN

Skye, please words in the proper order use.  Also, why does quote-unquote "Maheone" need more than one room? Also, why can't you do that yourself?

 

84.        SIGYN

W-wait, this Skye person, he knows that man?

 

85.        OREGANO, to Dante

Why don't you shove a red-hot poker up your ass? You think you're pretty hot, so make it so.

 

86.        DANTE

Hey! I thought we were done with that!

 

87.        OREGANO, Shrek voice

You thought wrong!

 

88.        SKYE

“Torin, please go get the Exodica Memoriam.”  

 

89.        EPIPHANY

[That certainly doesn't sound like it'll come up later.]

 

90.        EVRYN

TOTALLY not a plot point!

 

91.        SERLEINA

Actually, it's come up already.

 

92.        EPIPHANY

[Remember my caring face?]

[This is still it.]

 

93.        ROSEMARY

Were you real in the past and know you are not real?

 

94.        OVD

Rosemary, no spoilers!

 

95.        SKYE

"I think Our Lord would like a helping hand," I said as I reached down to help him up; the people did not need to see him like this.

 

96.        ROSEMARY

I know you aren’t smart. You don't need to prove it.

 

97.        SKYE

Of course, a child's love can make things happen that nothing else can.  

 

98.        EPIPHANY

[ I need an adult.]

 

99.        OVD

Why? You're not capable of love...are you?

 

100.     EVRYN

I don't think that's what she thought he meant.

 

101.     SIGYN

I think we ALL need an adult. Tokiomi and Drepanon don't count!

 

102.     DREPANON

Good. I don't want to be your adult.

 

103.     ROSEMARY

*yawns* Interesting.

 

104.     SKYE

Not only did my angel help get him to their rooms but also made him eat and then rest. 

 

105.     EPIPHANY rolls eyes

[Wow. She can perform simple tasks.]

 

106.     SIGYN

She's, like, four, so...

 

107.     REIYA

Why exactly are they putting these responsibilities on a child her age?

 

108.     SIGYN

Must be because she's a girl. Remember how Skye explicitly told the WOMEN to tend to Maheone?

 

109.     EPIPHANY

[They also apparently have no concept of "age-appropriateness", if you recall the previous episode.]

 

110.     SIGYN

I'd rather not, thank you.

 

111.     SKYE

I also noticed that he seemed to be wounded soul-wise. 

 

112.     ROSEMARY

Death is no excuse for disobedience.

 

113.     SIGYN

Metal as fuck, Ro.

 

114.     SKYE

I cannot say what I found didn't shock me; however, I will not reveal his secrets.

 

115.     EPIPHANY

[Obvious attempt to be mysterious is obvious.]

 

116.     ROSEMARY

I'm sorry, but that's just the way I'm made. I'm not doing it to annoy you in any way.

 

117.     EVRYN

But, Ro, you’re legitimately mysterious, not annoying and trying-too-hard-to-be-mysterious.

 

118.     SKYE

When he awoke several hours later, he was doing better.  

 

119.     ROSEMARY

Well I can try to be generic if you like, but like you, it won’t be interesting.

 

120.     SKYE

He sat up in the bed and smiled when he saw my angel next to him.  

 

121.     EPIPHANY

[The pedo vibes off this Skye guy are seriously starting to creep me out.]

 

122.     ROSEMARY

I would agree with you!

 

123.     SKYE

He smoothed her hair and gave her a kiss on the cheek before noticing me.

 

124.     ROSEMARY

That seems to support the fact that this is a waste of time, and you should move on to bigger and better things.

 

125.     EPIPHANY

[ I wish I could.]

 

126.     EVRYN

As do I.

 

127.     MAHEONE, softly

“I wasn't sure if I was ‘gong’ to the right place or not." 

 

128.     EVRYN

Well, you certainly weren’t “bell” to the right place.

 

129.     MAHEONE

"It was a relief to see I managed to get here."

 

130.     ROSEMARY

I can recommend a travel destination, if you don't mind dry heat.

 

131.     DREPANON

Please don't. Filing restraining orders is exhausting.

 

132.     SIGYN

Good news for me!

 

133.     SKYE

"My angel sensed you come through and came to greet you.  

She seems in tune to your aura.”  

 

134.     ROSEMARY

Again, that didn't make sense at all in the context of what we are talking about.

 

135.     EPIPHANY

[What you're watching isn't making sense, either?]

 

136.     ROSEMARY

Nothing is perfect. Therefore, Xemnas is the master of perfection.

 

137.     SKYE

“Must be from the feedings," I said softly and handed him a cup of tea with lavender to relax him.  

"You seem to be a little better."

He accepted the tea. 

 

138.     ROSEMARY

*yawns* Oh it’s very interesting. More interesting than you know.

 

139.     EVRYN

Stop taunting us, Ro.

 

140.     ROSEMARY

RO, RO, FIGHT THE POW-AH!

 

141.     MAHEONE

"I only wish. 

 

142.     ROSEMARY

BELIEVE IN THE ME WHO BELIEVES IN YO—oh. Wait. Not yOU.

 

143.     MAHEONE

“I … did something terrible to him.”  

 

144.     EPIPHANY

[ I'd ask if you made him listen to stupid stories, but Corri wrote this, so we all know what it was.]

 

145.     EVRYN

No, making people listen to stupid stories is what he does to US.

 

146.     MAHEONE

a)    “To my Falcon.  

b)    And he doesn't even know what I did."

 

147.     SKYE

I looked at him, a bit shocked.  

 

148.     ROSEMARY

Here is the candle to light you to bed. Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.

 

149.     SIGYN

Top ten reasons to read 1984.

 

150.     SKYE

"You wiped his memory? 

Was it really that bad?"

 

151.     ROSEMARY

Yes.

 

152.     SKYE

He nodded and almost began crying again had it not been for my angel.

 

153.     BABY AKUMA

"Impare… no cry…" 

 

154.     SKYE

--she said, pulling on his arm.

 

155.     ROSEMARY

Do you speak only with me?

 

156.     EVRYN

And ignore everyone else?

 

157.     ROSEMARY

I wish.

 

158.     EVRYN

Yeah, so do the rest of us.

 

159.     SKYE

She still didn't know this common language between us, so I was rather amazed that she was able to say anything in this tongue.  

 

160.     EPIPHANY

[Funny thing: Very small children? Amazing at language acquisition.]

 

161.     SKYE

She scooted closer and gave him a kiss on the cheek and hugged him close.

 

162.     ROSEMARY

No, no, no, let’s go fly some kites!

 

163.     BABY AKUMA

"Soon be happy.  

 

164.     ROSEMARY

Yes, flying kites makes me happy.

 

165.     BABY AKUMA

Impare and Akuma go home."

 

166.     MAHEONE

"Yes," 

 

167.     SKYE

--he said, trying to hold back his tears. 

 

168.     MAHEONE

"We will go home soon.  

 

169.     ROSEMARY

OK - you start.

 

170.     MAHEONE

Now go get cleaned up and have some breakfast."

 

171.     SKYE

She nodded and ran from the room as soon as she was off the bed.  

No doubt going to ask Dante for candy beforehand. 

 

172.     ROSEMARY

I'm sorry, I cannot understand drivel that your bot creator wrote for you to say.

 

173.     SKYE

I went over to the table to grab the Exodica Memoriam and handed it to the Maya-Hone.  

He gave me a curious look.

 

174.     ROSEMARY

Is that important?

 

175.     EVRYN

No, nothing Skye says is ever important.

 

176.     EPIPHANY

[Especially not the Plot Point Book with the Stupid Name(tm).]

 

177.     SKYE

"Sometimes it helps to get things off your chest.  

You can write about what happened in here.”  

 

178.     ROSEMARY

I'm truthfully going to write my own 'bible', if that girl Akumu doesn’t beat me to it.

 

179.     SKYE

“I will allow it this once if only to bring you peace for my angel."

 

180.     MAHEONE

"Why do you call her that?"

 

181.     SKYE

he asked suddenly.

"Because her name Akumano means Darkest Death Angel.”  

 

182.     EPIPHANY

[That's a terrible name, by the way.]

 

183.     EVRYN

It's probably the second-worst name on the show so far.

 

184.     DREPANON

Juuuuust wait.

 

185.     EVRYN

Also, I thought her name meant "Bloody Death Bagel."

 

186.     CIN

Yeah, that's what I thought, too!

 

187.     EVRYN

Did you know, my mum owns this trendy nightclub? After she saw your ad-lib in the first episode, she put "Bloody Death Bagel" on the menu as a special.

 

188.     SKYE

“However you and she have shortened it, making her name Dark Angel.”  

 

189.     ROSEMARY

"Blood Bagel".

 

190.     SKYE

“Therefore, she is my angel.”  

 

191.     ROSEMARY

Your bagel.

 

192.     SKYE

“Even though everyone else will see her only as a spoiled child because you chose her, we as her family see her as the angel that we would never have had if it had not been for you," I said softly.

 

193.     EPIPHANY

[Translation: Akuma is so sparkly-special!]

 

194.     ROSEMARY

Akuma is a glitterbagel with extra anime sauce.

 

195.     OVD

... I'm not even mad.

 

196.     MAHEONE

"I see.  And I meant to ask but I was afraid to: What is it that she calls me?"

 

197.     SKYE

"Impare?" I asked, a bit caught off-guard.

 

198.     MAHEONE

a)  "Yes. It's not 'father,' is it?"

 

b)  DREPANON

No, that’s what she calls *me*.

 

c)   CIN

Wait, what?

 

d)  DREPANON

Remember Halloween?

 

e)  CIN

Oh. Dude, gross.

 

f)     SIGYN

*laughs awkwardly*

 

199.     SKYE

I shook my head, trying to translate the word into the common tongue.  

"Baer is father.  

Paer is mother.  

Impare is… guardian.”  

 

200.     ROSEMARY

Not really. 

 

201.     CIN

Yeah, that implies that when Akuma called Bastion "Pare" that she was calling him a guard or something, right?

 

202.     ROSEMARY

I don't spend my time interpreting the words of glitterbagels to failed Tupperwares, but that's just me. You can do what you like.

 

203.     SKYE

“She's calling you her guardian.  Probably because you have always kept her safe.”  

 

204.     EPIPHANY

[Thank you, Captain Obvious, for telling us what guardians do.]

 

205.     EVRYN

Wait, he hasn't always kept her safe.

 

206.     OVD

Evryn! No spoilers!

 

207.     EVRYN

Oh come on! He mated her to a bloody tiger!

 

208.     OVD

EVRYN!

 

209.     EPIPHANY

[How are we allowed to have that in ANY timeslot?]

 

210.     OVD

I'm banging the producer's mother.

 

211.     EVRYN

Also, it's not even a spoiler, since we just found out about it like TWELVE HOURS AGO.

 

212.     SKYE

Not many will ever hear that name. 

It is a great boner."

 

213.     EVRYN

Akuma has a what?

 

214.     SKYE

Great HONOR!

 

215.     EVRYN

That’s not what I heard.

 

216.     SKYE

Yeah, well, someone’s messing with the cue cards again!

 

217.     JEPH

[ It is a great honor.]

 

218.     EVRYN

No they’re not! You’re just a half-wit!

 

219.     EPIPHANY

[And possibly a pedophile]

 

220.     JEPH

[And the half-wit pedophile has a great boner.]

 

221.     EVRYN

I don’t see anything.

 

222.     JEPH

[That’s why it’s great.]

 

223.     MAHEONE

"Then why don't I feel so great, Skye?"

 

224.     EVRYN

Because Skye’s with Dante and therefore his great boner will never be inside you?

 

225.     SKYE

That’s not funny!

 

226.     JEPH

[Oh, that’ll be funny for another three and two-thirds years or so.]

 

227.     OVD

Jeph! What have I told Evryn and Rosemary about spoilers?

 

228.     JEPH

[Oh, does that apply to me too?]

 

229.     EVRYN, ROSEMARY, and OVD

Yes!

 

230.     EVRYN

Especially with spoilers that are that oddly specific!

 

231.     SKYE

I dropped my cup and it shattered to the floor.  

He never called any of us by name before.  

 

232.     ROSEMARY

Is Max your father?

 

233.     EVRYN

I think Max is the Cooking Guy, actually.

 

234.     SKYE

Not even my angel.  

 

235.     ROSEMARY

Well, you should change your name. Paul is an amazing name.

 

236.     SKYE

He always called her his gift.  

 

237.     EPIPHANY

[You both seem to have an aversion to using her actual name.]

 

238.     SIGYN

In their defense, it's a pretty fucking stupid name.

 

239.     EPIPHANY

[Yes, but THEY don't know that.]

 

240.     SKYE

Torin… uh, Torin…

 

241.     EVRYN

That’s not her name.

 

242.     SKYE

I KNOW!

 

243.     OVD

What seems to be the problem, Skye?

 

244.     SKYE

The script just ends there.  I don’t… I don’t know what to say.

 

245.     EVRYN

Wow. You really fail at life.

 

246.     SKYE

Oh yeah? Well maybe I should just die then! Would that make you happy?

 

247.     EVRYN

Yeah, whatever.

 

248.     ROSEMARY

That’d be fine with us.

 

249.  FIVE HOURS LATER…

 

250.     SKYE is suspended by a bar hammered through his ankles, tarred and feathered, and lowered into a tank of piranhas.

 

251.     EVRYN

Wow. He really went all-out for that suicide.

 

252.     ROSEMARY

I don’t think that was a suicide.

 

253.     EVRYN

It wasn’t the crazy angry short guy who’s boffing Akuma and Orion and keeps piranhas as pets, was it?

 

254.     ROSEMARY

I don’t think he’s subtle enough for something like that.

 

255.     EVRYN

You call that subtle?!

 

256.     PAN back to Skye

 

257.     ROSEMARY

More subtle than Illybrius.

 

258.     EVRYN

Come to think of it, you’re right.  I wonder who’d do such a thing? I mean, Skye did give pretty terrible exposition, but he wasn’t really any worse than anyone else on the show.

 

259.     CUT to Akuma’s room

 

260.     AKUMA

HOW DARE HE MOCK MY GENITALS AND TAKE ATTENTION AWAY FROM ME?!  And now he’s dead… My uncle’s dead… I have no one to go on about how sparkly-special I was as a baby…

BAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!

 

261.     DREPANON

Well, at least she's good for something...
