[Fin] The Murder-Free Hotel

[Caret]

Bow smiles back at Alexis.

Heh, thanks. You know... I want to go paragliding more often.

[Dookie]

Elizabeth tries to signal a host or a worker.

[Caret]

Mettaton notices Elizabeth signaling for him.

Well, beauty, what do you want from me?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Gary Busey walks onto the stage, holding a guitar.

Hey, everyone. I'm here to sing you a song about our very good friend, the peanut.

He goes on to sing his Peanut Song (just pretend he's singing it at the show).

And there you are. PEANUTS! PEANUTS FOR EVERYONE!

[Caret]

Mettaton is indifferent to Gary's song, but still manages to seem euthsatic about

That was a song indeed. Say, you would be perfect for spearheading the advertisements for the protect I just came up with, MTT Brand Fried Peanut Shells, so I'll hook you up later. Anyways... we have two more performances to go through, so join us after the commercial break!

[TalesofUnder]

(The distant sound of a “WAAAAAAAAAAAA” can be heard in the distance, steadily growing louder, before a motorbike crashes onstage.)

Rats! That's one motorbike added to my shopping list. Anyway, I would like to remind you all to buy the new WAAAARIOWARE, COMING SEPTEMBER 10! ONLY ON NINTENDO SWITCH! And also, send me garlic to get the deluxe edition.

[Caret]

Mettaton remarks sarcastically at Wario's sudden appearance. Oh, thanks for barging into my show to advertise an product that isn't yours. But again, I did use your spice once, so that would count as free advertising on your part! Anyways... we're back, and ready to show our final two performances. So far, almost everyone put up a decent show, but are they decent enough to beat out our last performers and take the grand prize home? Let's find out in a final test of drama, music, and ACTION!

[Dookie]

Mettaton notices Elizabeth signaling for him.

Well, beauty, what do you want from me?

“Well, I asked for a ghost-possessed animatronic, or something else, if that's fine. I need it for my act.”

[Kennifer]

Meanwhile, Alexis is pacing backstage again, just waiting for her name. She's not nervous, really; she's performed for audiences many times, after all.

[Caret]

Mettaton briefly goes silent upon hearing Elizabeth's request, and remains silent for quite a while before finally answering.

Well, well, well. I unfortunately cannot provide any ghost-possessed animatronics, but maybe ask that pink-haired catgirl that looks like she's from Kissy Mew Mew? Anyways... it's time to start the next act, featuring a number from a fellow thespian, ALEXIS!

[Kennifer]

Alexis walks out on stage looking confident.

"I've given quite a bit of thought to choosing a song for this... I could've gone with one from my favorite show, but I decided to switch it up a bit... this song's a classic and I hope you enjoy it."

She took a deep breath, and started up a track with the background music on it... then began to sing.

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly, deftly, music shall surround you
Feel it, hear it closing in around you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

And yes, she's holding the hell out of that last note.

[Caret]

Stage

That was... a very moving song! Still not as good as my own singing, but I think I might have some real competition now! Now... this show is almost over, but we still have one more performer competing for the grand prize of 10,000 GOLD and my personal certificate approval. Who will end up winning this show? Find out... after we resolve some technical issues related to our final performer. Stay patient, and place your bets on who will be crowned winner of Murderfree's Got Talent!

Backstage

Meanwhile, Bow has been cheering on her friend for the whole time, and it looks like she's getting ready for a tacklehug if that's fine with Alexis.

[Kennifer]

And yes, it does in fact look like Alexis is ripe for a tacklehug!

[Caret]

Backstage

Suddenly, Bow rushes up towards Alexis and gives her a big tacklehug.

Hey... you were great on stage, Alexis, just how I expected you to be!

[Kennifer]

Alexis grins.

"Aw thanks! You were amazing, I'd watch you do that any time!"

She's happily hugging her friend.

[Caret]

Backstage

Bow has become completely red over the fact that she is receiving so much praise for something that she literally conceptualized from the emergency plans she made back at Murder H.Q.

Aw... thanks for the encouragement. To me, it kinda feels weird receiving so much praise over this, but still!

The Eevee then starts crying out tears of joy.

[Kennifer]

-Backstage-

"Hey, it's true! And this whole thing has been so much fun... I'm glad I could help you with your act."

Alexis gives her friend another big hug.

[Caret]

Backstage

Bow happily accepts the hug from Alexis, and returns the favor for her friend.

Heh... it was fun for me too. I'm glad that I was able to express my interests in front of an entire audience.

[Dookie]

Elizabeth walks up to this Pink-Haired Kitty Mew Mew Girl.

“Could I have a possessed Fazbear Entertainment animatronic? Or a possessed lamp? Or anything possessed?”

[wingedcatgirl]

Vivi sends a wisp of pink smoke into Elizabeth's memories to learn what a "Fazbear Entertainment animatronic" is.

(Can't decide whether I'm gonna miss being able to do this or be glad I can't.)

She winces. Teeth hurt again, what's up with that...?

But she shakes it off and returns to her task. "Right, I'll give you a bear robot," she says, waving her hands and summoning one out of nowhere, "but I'm not sure where we'll find a spirit to put in it..."

[Dookie]

“Oh. Thanks! If it isn't Fazbear…maybe I could lure a ghost in?….”

[Cassie]

"...Ghosts?"

Henrik feels a bit scared again.

[Caret]

Mettaton is now getting a bit uncomfortable around Elizabeth.

Ooooooooooooh dear. I... I... do not know where you can find a ghost here. Sorry. Maybe try... another cool performance, darling?

[Dookie]

Mettaton is now getting a bit uncomfortable around Elizabeth.

Ooooooooooooh dear. I... I... do not know where you can find a ghost here. Sorry. Maybe try... another cool performance, darling?

“Hmmm…are you sure? I'd have to drop out, and I'm quite good at luring ghosts in.”

[Caret]

Unless you can find a ghost, yes. Speaking of ghosts, here's something for those darlings who are spreading rumors that I am actually a ghost in a robotic shell. I am 100% a robot, no ghosts involved! So... shut down that particular rumor mill before you become a contestant in my GAUNTLET OF DOOM!!!!
