[Open on Eda's Human Collectibles stand in the market. King holds up a tray of mostly inedible human things.]

King: Partake of my free snack samples! Take it! I demand it as your ruler, the King of Demons!

[Several people pass but none even look at him. He throws the tray on the ground.]

King: Nyeh! Why isn't anyone paying attention to me? I'm their rightful overlord. Intellectually and such.

Eda: Yeah...hey! [grabs a passerby by the cowl, sniffs] It reeks more of nerd than money today.

Luz: Guys!

Passerby: Ah!

Luz: You will not believe what's going on! [poses under a banner] It's a book fair! Where books come to life!

[A book jumps off one of the stands next to her.]

Book: Hello.

Y/N: Like that one?

Luz: [screams and kicks it]

King: A fair without rides?

Boy: Who needs rides when this [shoves a book in King's face] can take you anywhere?

King: Nyeh.

[King throws a strip of bacon on the boy's head. A winged demon flies by and picks him up. The boy screams.]

Eda: A, ew. [throws book on the ground] B, I'm bored. C, I feel like pickpocketing some dork while they browse. [walks off]

Luz: No, wait! [to King] Will you give it a chance? I'll let you ride in my hoodie! [puts her hood up]

King: Ooohoohoohoo!

Y/N: Plus books make you smarter, and Eda uhhhhh well

Eda: What

Y/N: Nevermind

[Cut to You and Luz walking through the book fair with King in her hood.]

Luz: This book fair's got everything! A zine-making workshop, meet and greets, and- what's that? [gasp] A writing competition!? I've always wanted to be a writer.

King: Writer? What? I thought you wanted to be a witch?

Luz: Of course I wanna be a witch. But where I'm from that's kinda... impossible. So my runner up dream was to be a writer. [pulls a picture out of her pocket] I've had this about the author picture since I was seven years old. I know my good angle. I'm gonna enter the competition.

Bo: [laughs as she runs by]

King: Ugh! What are these basement dwellers doing out in natural sunlight?

Y/N: What are you talking about King, our fanbase goes out all the time 

Tiny Nose: Um! We're in line for Jon De Plume, most famous writer on the Boiling Isles, famed author of the Realm Warriors series! I'm gonna have him read my story... and marry me.

[Cut to Jon signing a book.]

Man: Jon, will you sign my child?

Jon: I'll sign anything! [laughs evilly]

King: Such power. Such command he holds over his minions. I must have the same! Luz the human! I too shall enter the competition.

Luz: Really? [gasps] We all could work together! It'll be perfect! We're best friends, so we'll make the best team!

King: Team! Yes!

[Luz begins walking away.]

King: My name goes first on the cover.
