Wham! Collapso!

Do we have a script? asks Saint Roley. I should like to start learning my lines.

Me too, says Celia.

Ask Sweezus, says Vello. He and Arthur were coming up with something.

Yeah, says Sweezus. It's not finished yet.

Where IS Arthur? asks Gaius.

Being stalked by someone, says Sweezus. Lying low.

How thrilling! says David. But who on earth would be stalking Arthur?

Sikong Shu, says Sweezus. Remember the Wife Cakes? He sent them.

But he and Arthur are friends! says Gaius. Aren't they?

Yeah, says Sweezus. But Arthur's gone off him.

Dear me, says David. So we don't have a script until someone resolves this.

We've got the beginning, says Sweezus. How's this?:

The scene opens in a vegie garden. There's like, carrots and onions, and like, spades and stuff. Birds singing. No, not birds singing. Forgot we had birds playing humans. Scratch that.

Thank you, says Saint Roley. Very thoughtful.

Then ....... WHAM! COLLAPSO! says Sweezus. The whole garden caves in. Like you know, a sink hole.

I like it, says Vello. But how to portray it on stage?

A chasm arises, says Sweezus. Should be easy. Just scenery and noises.

Not that easy, says Belle.

Am I in it? asks Terence.

Yeah, says Sweezus. The garden pests are in it. Like the snails and this one orange stink bug. Running around like crazy. Like WOAH MAN, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

WOAH MAN WHAT JUST HAPPENED? cries Terence. What did I sound like?

Nearly the same, says Belle.

Do I press my stink button? asks Terence.

We hadn't factored in a stink button, says Sweezus. But yeah, go for it.

Yay! says Terence. POOFFF!

Then what? asks Vello.

Heads appear at the top of the sink hole, says Sweezus. It's Pangloss and Martin.

You and me, says Vello, looking at David.

I know, says David.

And you guys ad lib a little, says Sweezus. You know. Like Pangloss says Wow This is awesome. It's the best thing that could've happened. And Martin says No way, now we have to plant different stuff, because the shade is all different and there's freaking rocks everywhere....

Excellent! says Vello.

When are we in it? asks Celia.

Now, says Sweezus. You and Paquette poke your heads up over the edge of the chasm. I reckon you guys'll both need to wear hats, so the audience don't think you guys are just birds or something.

Are you trying to demean us? says Celia.

No way! says Sweezus. Not like, hats with FEATHERS!

I'll make two appropriate hats, says Belle.

Sweezus is grateful.
