The Origin of Laughing Jack (My Version)

Chapter 8: Breaking The Harmony

Christmas Eve had arrived, and Inuri, Splendorman and Jason moved down to a new world called The Underworld. This isn't hell for those who are wondering. The Underworld is a much more magical place than anyone would believe. It's a place where fantasies and dreams come true, and where anyone can rebuild their lives to a better one.

Jason and Splendorman had found Inuri in the old carnival from her childhood, and they moved the toyshop to the Underworld away from the dangers of England. Upon arrival, Splendorman showed Inuri around a city known as Phoenix Drop and she was estatic. The city basically looks like the cities the humans all know of today.

The Underworld is basically home to all the monsters, fantasy creatures, and humans that are casted away from the Overworld due to major discrimination whether it's by disability or learning disorder.

Inside the toyshop Inuri is depressingly laying on her bed in her bedroom while she heard a mix of classical and funk music. After finding Inuri in the carnival, she had been forbidden from leaving the toyshop for a whole month. She wasn't even allowed to play her EDM music during personal shows.

However, that's going to change.

The plan Inuri made is that she's going to steal all the music strings and have all music gone; except only EDM/Techno will reign supreme.

She would have to take the strings when the other musicpastas aren't paying attention; though Splendorman would be too easy. He's the most gullible out of the six of them. Although she'll have to wait until they're both asleep. Jason usually puts his conductor's stick on his desk before going to sleep.

However she'll have to most likely take the other threes' strings by force. No way would they be willing to give up their own strings. If they lose their strings, they lose their music.

Inuri shrugged to herself. If she's going to have to fight for the other three strings or come up with more believable distractions, then so be it.

Shortly after another personal performance is done, the sound of an applause dies down and there's now sounds of doors opening and closing. Inuri was still laying on her bed, but with her eyes closed this time. She didn't drift off to sleep. Too many thoughts in her head.

When Inuri unexpectedly heard a knock on her door, she opened one of her eyes and directed it at the door. It could be Jason about to scold her again about the Isaac incident again. Sighing, she sat up from bed and got out; stretching her arms to get rid of the tiredness in her limbs. She then trudged to the door and opened it.

Immediately, her eyes widened. Standing in front of the door was none other than Splendorman. Inuri didn't expect Splendorman of all musicpastas to knock on her door.

In fact, what Inuri found odd is that Splendorman seemed to be cheerful.

"Hey Uri!" Splendorman greeted cheerfully. "You've missed out on quite a concert again!"

"Oh, I did did I?" Inuri asked trying to show some interest.

"You did!" Splendorman exclaimed excitedly. "I played this song called 'Jungle Boogie', and you should have seen everyone get down get down as the song says. Well, mainly my funk proxies. Jason and his Classical proxies didn't. It's like they don't even approve. Why don't they approve? That's bull if you ask me!"

Inuri nodded understandingly; even though she isn't very interested in how the concert went.

Her eyes drifted towards the funk guitar Splendorman used. That guitar holds the funk string. It was a feeling Inuri had when she knows something is there.

"Well anyway, just thought I'd check up on you because y'know? I miss you." Splendorman informed. "These personal concerts just aren't the same without you showing up."
