Bottled Time

[Oggy123]

"We got one..."

[MadeOfMilk]

So long, farewell, and don't turn friends into fiends in the afterlife.

Beep!

...Oh, I guess he wanted to get some last words in too.

[Billy5545]

"Heh, so you are a spineless coward, too scared to even look at his own shadow. You are indeed a lowly monkey, too disgusting to even be a man. I look forward to your demise, Evil Jay Leno! You can join Jonathan in the afterlife." Dio then strikes another dramatic pose.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Cool Sendri's voice dips, losing the loud, cool-ifiedness for just a bit. If what you ssay is true...floran wisshess floran could have ssaved you from this fate. But you have fallen into Kronoss' grassp. Maybe in another life, we would have been alliess..bro. But now, we have to do what is necessssary.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Farewell, Jay... If you ever meet Hecatia... Tell her we said hi.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Those with a keen enough eye can catch Luke silently glaring at Dio.]

[TalesofUnder]

Well, as much as it pains me to do this... I find you, Evil Jay Leno, guilty of murder.



(Nikei handcuffs EJL, and the cuffs strip him of all his reality-warping powers. He is then ushered onto the teleporter, where he teleports... somewhere.)



(Evil Jay Leno finds himself in a room with a tall man in a Plague Doctor mask.)



My name is Ghost. I am your worst nightmare. Now, then... I've prepared a special punishment for you, Evil Jay Leno.



(Jay is whisked away to his punishment.)

Execution

TALK SHOW OF HORRORS

Evil Jay Leno finds himself on a very familiar stage to him. It's the stage of a talk show, and he finds himself alongside robotic replicas of his two biggest rivals... Conan O'Brien and David Letterman. Jazzy music plays.

“Hello, welcome to the Execution Show with David O'Brien and Conan Letterman.”

Suddenly, microphones are thrust into Jay's face, and the robotic hosts begin to grill him about the death of Roxy. He can't even get a word in, as every time he tries, a pitchfork stabs into his sides. Eventually, a bloodied and stabbed Evil Jay Leno starts awaiting death... only to be met with applause.

All the robots in the audience are applauding... but hang on... their arms are incredibly sharp, scissor-like blades. Before Jay can comment, he is mercilessly tossed into the audience, who slice him to bloody, pepperoni-like pieces. Eventually, they clear away, and all that is left of the talk show host is a puddle of blood and some demon salami.

Evil Jay Leno was the Trapmaster.

(The entire affair was shown to all the Time Cops on an attached television.)

[MadeOfMilk]

Madelyn just stares, eyes wide open.

Well, uh.... that was... something.

[TalesofUnder]

I... I know he was Kronos scum, but... fuck! That was a bit much...

(Nikei starts getting more unpleasant flashbacks.)

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Reisen slowly gains a surprised but also distressed look on her eyes...

I think I just lost my appetite. Not that I had any to begin with...

[wingedcatgirl]

Eri looks deeply uncomfortable.

[Oggy123]

"Oh..."
Adobe Flash feels almost sick, or a computer program equivalent to that, anyway.

[KungFuCutbug]

[...dear lord. That was... brutal. Far more so than Luke was expecting it to be. He stares wide-eyed at the television and presses his hat tighter against his chest for a moment, his spiky hair fluttering slightly in the cold Siberian wind for a moment. From how utterly melodramatic he looks from a distance, you'd think he was standing over the grave of a dear friend on a cold winter's night. And, in a way... he sorta is.] “...Rest in peace, Evil Jay Leno. Or perhaps, rest in pieces would be more... no, now isn't the time for such wordplay. It was an honor.”

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Cool Sendri nods at what they see. Those methods, so brutal...if anyone bothered to look, you would notice them grabbing tightly on the collar of their hoodie as they watched. And finally, they speak up. FLORAN WON'T DENY, DUDESS...THAT WAS BRUTAL. UNNECESSSARY AND NOWHERE NEAR PRAGMATIC...BUT. WHAT'SS DONE ISS DONE. WE NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR HISS ALLIESS.

SO, FLORAN'S TUBULAR BROSS...WHO WANTSS TO HELP OUT WITH GUARDING THE CAMP TONIGHT? FLORAN'SS GONNNA SSCOUT THE PLACE, BUT SSAFETY IS ALWAYSS IN A SSQUAD.

[TalesofUnder]

(Nikei starts digging grave sites for both Roxy and Evil Jay Leno.)

[Dookie]

“…”

> Have a panic attack

[Weirdguy149]

"Y'KNOW WHAT? SURE, I'LL HELP YOU OUT WITH THIS. I'M A STRANGER, YOU CAN CERTAINLY TRUST ME."

Bill chuckled a bit, as if he made some sort of joke.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

FOR NOW, YOU'RE AN ALLY. BUT...NOW, FLORAN'SS NOT SSURE WHO HERE'SS A TOTAL BRO, AND WHO HERE'SS KRONOSS DROOL. BUT YEAH, WE'LL SSCOUT THE PLACE OUT TONIGHT. AND REMEMBER; WE'RE LOOKING OUT FOR EACH OTHER AS WELL. DON'T KNOW IF OR WHEN A TRAITOR SSTRIKESS.

Cool Sendri glances back at the TV. No, they remind themselves, grounding themselves back in the Siberian wildnerness; the cold snow, the piercing wind, this was no trouble in paradise. This was a million miles from paradise.

[KungFuCutbug]

“...I don't suppose the two of you would mind a third? If it were just the two of you, one could kill the other and get away with it with no witnesses. Bringing along a third person ensures there will be at least one witness to the murder, and perhaps they'll—I'll—even be able to intercept it.”

[Oggy123]

Flash remembers that in his days, they do use him to make gore-themed games and animations. He approaches Cool Sendri.
"We will survive this night, right?" He asks.

[MadeOfMilk]

I'm up for the safety squad. There's no way I'm letting another person die tonight.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

YOU HAVE A GOOD POINT, LUKE. THREE'S BETTER THAN TWO. IN FACT... They turn to Adobe Flash. HEY, DIGITAL BRO. HOW ABOUT WE MAKE IT FOUR? WANNA JOIN THE PATROL, FLORAN'S DUDE? THREE MAKESS IT MORE LIKELY THAT THE REMAINING TWO TRAITORSS WILL BAND TOGETHER.

[KungFuCutbug]

“Looks like we've already got our fourth,” [Luke mentions as an aside, gesturing with his head towards Madelyn,] “so... Flash, was it? You'll be the fifth, if you so wish.”

[wingedcatgirl]

"To our awareness, the last two Kronos spies don't actually have contact with each other," Eri says. "They're completely disconnected right now."

[Oggy123]

"...Okay!"
