Char: Isn't this a bit dangerous?
King: Char, please. We've in a lot of unexpected predicaments before and we always escape unhurt.
Char: ...
King: Okay, we sometimes escape unhurt.
Char: ...
King: Alright, we escaped unhurt once... Then we hurt ourselves in the way home.

"So, they said I couldn't remove my thumb. But look at this!" Char then proceeded to do the slicey thumb trick that writer Char can't actually do. "You sliced it off! You sliced off your own thumb!" Koda cried, absolutely mortified. Saph laughed. "You make doing homework actually fun." They said.
"And they say humans can't do magic."
"Char!" King jumped up onto the table. "You've been talking to them all morning! Don't forget about the Char and King Comedy Hour!"
"Please no. Not the comedy hour." Carmen reflected on her horrific memories.
"This week I've been working with props." He put a toilet paper cardboard roll thing on his nose. "Oh dear! I've gotten a tube stuck on my nose! Will I ever eat again?" He shoved a piece of bread onto his face. "Looks like I'm toast!" Cue laughter.
"It just goes on like this for an hour!"
"Hey, you doughboy, quite loafing around!"
"Why don't you bake me?" Cue more laughter before the alarm went off. "School time! See you guys in class!" Char went to go turn off her crystal ball thing.
"Bye!"
"BUT WHAT ABOUT THE THUMB?!"
King made sad face. "Hey, don't worry, we'll finish our comedy hour when I get home." Void gave him a head kiss and headed out the door, saying "Try not to miss me while I'm gone!" Then they shut the door, King jumping down and wagging his tail.
"You really think she's coming back this time?"
"Yes, she'll be back. She always comes back. It's cute you miss her though."
"THE KING OF DEMONS-" He tossed aside his tube and bread. "THE KING OF DEMONS MISSES NOBODY! I wouldn't care if she came through this door right now!" She came through the door right now.
"Hey, you're-"
"YOU'RE BACK!" King climbed atop Char's head like a fucking gargoyle. "I didn't miss you at all."
"Apparently, there's an infestation of pixie's at Hexside, so schools been canceled." Char explained. "That sounds like a crumby situation!" More laughter from the children. Hooty has now spawned. "Hey, guess what's been in my mouth that I'm about to throw up?" Oh, my favorite game! Insert vomiting noises and the judgemental/grossed out staring of Charlatte. "The mail!"
Carmen bent over and picked them up. "Junk, junk, death hex." They murdered their trash can. "Oh! A carnival's in town today!" She held up the flier. "A carnival?" Char took King off her head and held him out in front of her. "You know, I've been so busy with school lately, what do you say we take this comedy hour on tour? It'll be a Char and King day!"
"That's my kind of day!"
Char ran over to Carmen, roping her into a lil' side hug. "Let's all three of us go!"
"An adventure with friends! I'll go pack my stuff!" Hooty slithered off to go pack his stuff.
"Carnivals bring crowds and crowds bring suckers." Carmen knows an opportunity to scam when she sees one. "This could be the perfect chance to try my new get witch quick scheme." She pulled Ollie out of the pot. "I'm in! To the carnival!"
