[Ice Cube and Bubble depart from the Clubhouse of Awesomeness, having gone rogue. They saunter in the direction of an abandoned gothic church, the intricacies of its engravings, radiant and plentiful, emboldened in bright vermillion and scarlet by the gloaming. There is little vegetation in the surrounding area, the foliage of the forest that once stood having been scorched by a hole in the ozone layer. What now stood in its place was an ashen wasteland bearing lakes of iridescent oil spills and the ivory remains of those who once were. Bubble stares into Ice Cube's bright blue eyes, questioning her. Ice Cube scintillates sunlight]

Bubble: To whither oire woie hoiding, moi coimpeer?
Ice Cube: Hitherto this occurrence with ye, I shant say a word in bad faith. Yet I march tither so thou shall know my pain in solidarity.
Bubble: Oih, oi beseech thee! Do tell, do tell!

[They walk into the church. Their footsteps echo throughout the corridors. They dress up in Spirit Halloween cloaks and light fake candles]

Ice Cube: Anon, thee wilt know the horrors 've lived through and fro within the confines of the church
Bubble: woit can woi stoip spoiking loik thois
Ice Cube: why

[The announcer is nowhere to be seen]
