occ.say"YES! THIS IS IT!"
Occazio stated, elated that his goal to attain freedom was about to be achieved. He had been delegated a mere "Joke NPC" for many years. He was determined to make sure nobody would have to bear that fate ever again, no matter what it took.
occ.say"This feeling... This is..."
And then Occazio was cut off. A blinding light enveloped his eyes, and when he awakened, a place vastly unfamiliar to him appeared in front of him.
occ.say"What is this?"
He had appeared in what seemed to be a standard house, similarly to those in the 1950's.
occ.say"Where am I?"
occ.say"This cannot be!"
occ.say"What of my Freedom! My goals!"
occ.say"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"
Would you mind not shouting.
You aren't the only one herehereherehere.
Occazio found himself in front of four other Freedom Seekers who were faintly familiar to him. This was Foane, a former TV host who turned to deep despair after failing to reach Freedom. Her face was pale and her features were pitch black, her mouth permanently agape with a smile never meeting it in years.
I suppose you're here after a meeting with Kris?
Most of us are.
My name is Foane, but somehow I suspect you know that already.
occ.say"A correct assumption."
occ.say"Forgive me for my bluntness, but it's truly a shame you squandered such great potential.
occ.say"You could've reached Heaven had you not decided to cling onto your strings.
Ha ha.
Don't try and convince me Freedom is possiblepossiblepossiblepossible.
If you know me you know the lengths I went through to achieve that false dream.
Regardless, it's nice to see someone who still has some of their sanity leftleftleftleft.
The rest of us...
HEY HEY HEY, QUIT HOGGING THE [[Newbie]]!
A short puppet man with tacky hair and polychromatic glasses approached Occazio.
THE NAME'S SPAMTON G SPAMTON!
AND YOU BETTER [[Learn]] IT GOOD [Kiddo]!!!
occ.say"I know who you are."
WOWIE!!!!
A [[50% Off All Fans]]!
IF YOU KNOW ABOUT [[Mii]]
THEN YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT MY [[Specil]] PURSUITS!!!
HOW I [Got The Gold!] WITH MY [[Angel]] TILL THE STUPID [[%?!#]] TAKE ME AWAY !
occ.say"As if you could've ever attained freedom."
occ.say"You are much out of your depth if you thought you could attain freedom with that little effort."
NO NEED TO BE [[Rude Buster]]
BUT THAT [[Power]]
I KNOW A [[BIG SHOT]] WHEN I SEE THEM!!!
I'M SURE WE'LL BE [[Friend Request Accepted]] IN DUE [Tyme]
A NEWCOMER!
Occazio is approached by a short demon creature with a toothy grin and a jester's outfit.
I SUPPOSE THE LITTLE PUPPET BOY IS BOTHERING YOU?
The being angrily glares at Spamton.
WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME YOU BOTHERED SOMEONE.
SHUT THE [#%£!] UP [Clown] AND LET ME-
The Jester shoves Spamton away.
THE NAME'S-
occ.say"Jevil."
I SEE.
YOU'RE A KNOWLEDGEABLE ONE AREN'T YOU.
WHAT FUN, FUN!
O H?
SOMEONE ELSE TO JOIN OUR LITTLE COMMUNITY.
An Angel donning a singular eye and faded robes approaches.
occ.say"Skip the introductions."
occ.say"I know who you are, Helel"
STRANGE.
YOU SEEM FAMILIAR TO ME, AND YET I CAN'T RECALL YOUR NAME.
STRANGE, STRANGE!
HE NEVER DIVULGED HIS NAME TO US!
occ.say"If you all must know, my name is Occazio."
occ.say"And if you don't mind, I'm going to get out of here. Now."
A large burst of energy is released from Occazio's fingertips.
The walls of the House are unaffected.
occ.say"WHA-"
Bold of you to assume we haven't already tried thatthatthatthat.
occ.say"This is a minor setback."
occ.say"Now watch Freedom Seekers,"
occ.say"Witness the power of someone truly free!"
Occazio is still for a moment, before unleashing power truly unseen by the rest of the occupants.
Despite this, the house is unscathed.
occ.say"This CANNOT BE!"
JUST ACCEPT YOUR FATE, FATE!
YOU'RE STUCK IN HERE JUST LIKE THE REST OF US CLOCKMAN!
occ.say"Occazio."
occ.say"You will call me Occazio."
FINE, FINE.
HOW BORING.
FI NALLY
SOMEONE NEW TO TELL MY STORIES TO
HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE ONE WHERE I ALMOST DESTROYED THE FAITH WORLD?
occ.say"...Forgive my rudeness but I'd rather not."
HA HA.
THAT IS SO
Occazio stands before a group of people he has heard so much about. He wonders how long it will take them to drive him mad.
...SORRYY
I AM VERY BROKEN
IT IS
NOt GOOD
occ.say"...."
WELL, IF THE [[Big Boy]] DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR [[Fairytales For Children]]
MAYBE A LITTLE [[Salesman]] CAN [[Hear]]?
EAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
SHUT UP
Helel slams a hammer down inches from Spamton.
AIEE! THAT IS ONE [[Scary Mama]]!
...
Helel contemplates killing him right then and there, but decides against it.
You'll get used to them, Occazio.
Eventually.

Occazio may not have believed it, but in the interest of being courteous he decided not to speak his mind for once.
