Richard Ayoade's Disenchantmentplace

Chapter 43

Y/n skillfully maneuvered the motorcycle through the treacherous snowy cliffs of the mountain, the icy wind rushing past them. As they entered a cave, an unexpected collision occurred with Malfus, and Y/n quickly apologized.

Y/n: (apologetic) Sorry about that!

Malfus, initially unconscious, came to and was delighted to see Y/n and Bean.

Malfus: (joyful) Ah, it's you two! He who has no vehicle insurance but repays the handsome old man by cooking a feast and doing the dishes! Yes, that's it!

Y/n readily agreed to this, and he began cooking a roasted animal over an open fire. Bean expressed her gratitude for Malfus's hospitality but stressed that they had to move on.

Bean: (grateful) Thanks so much for your help, but we really need to get going.

Malfus, known for his prophetic insights, shared a bit about his abilities.

Malfus: (cryptic) I am but a humble seer, foretelling stuff.

Y/n, ever curious, asked if Malfus ever foresaw the act of killing the person one loves.

Y/n: (curious) Have you ever foreseen killing the person you love?

Malfus replied in the affirmative, leading to a humorous exchange about who that person might be.

Malfus: (enigmatic) Yes.

Bean: (playful) Mora?

Y/n: (teasing) Me?

Malfus: (cryptic) Could be.

Bean: (pondering) My dad?

Malfus: (mysterious) Perhaps.

Y/n: (joking) Bunty?

Malfus: (mysterious) It could be anyone.

Just as their conversation took a comical turn, Mora cried out, signaling that she was slipping away.

Mora: (panicked) Help, I'm slipping away!

Y/n and Bean rushed to her aid but ended up tumbling down the waterfall and into the ocean.

Y/n: (dry humor) Well, at least we didn't lose the motorcycle.

Mora and Bean were more concerned about how good they looked in their cool leather jackets, but their focus quickly shifted when they spotted a ship.

Bean: (scheming) How about we hijack it to get to Steamland?

Mora readily agreed with this plan, but Y/n had a different idea.

Y/n: (suggested) Or...we could ask nicely?

Bean and Mora exchanged glances before shaking their heads, opting for a less diplomatic approach. Their adventure was far from over, and the trio was determined to reach Steamland and rescue King Zog, no matter what it took.

and Mora, feeling bold and pirate-like, were ready to hijack the ship. Bean declared herself as the new captain, much to Mora's support.

Bean: (commanding) This ship is now under the command of Captain Bean! Respect the rank!

Mora: (threatening) Or walk the plank.

However, their plans were quickly disrupted when they realized the ship was actually commanded by Oona, Bean's stepmother. Oona communicated using words from her native language, often referred to as "flibbers" or "flabbers."

Oona: (flibbering) Oona no care about Zøg. Oona care about Bean. And Derek. And Luci. And Elfo. And... that's it.

Y/n, always enthusiastic about science, expressed his eagerness to conduct experiments once they reached Steamland. However, his choice of words veered into suggestive territory, much to the annoyance or disgust of the others.
