Monday Skit

I went on AJ today, but I didn't take any screenshots. There are some things that look different on AJ from the last time I went on.

I also updated the chapter list on my story blog that I don't even properly use.

I got this skit idea while doing nothing in gym class lol.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

[In living room/lounge area as always]

Sparkle: So this is the RIM?
Finny: Yeah.
Sparkle: It says it's 5,000 gems. Inflation is causing prices to be ridiculous!
Finny: Yeah, I agree. I'm also glad to see you picking up on my talk about economics.
Sparkle: It sure is annoying how there's no equilibrium.

[Duke enters room holding a suspicious bottle]

Duke: Guys, I've got to tell you about my latest dream from last night.
Dawn: Okay, tell us about your dream that played in your head during the REM part in the sleep cycle. Tell us the fantasies from your subconscious mind.
Twinkle: Ugh, why would you do that? Now he's not gonna shut up.
Duke: Uh sure, okay then.
Sparkle: This better be good.
Duke: It is, I swear. Okay so it started off with Finny and I being interviewed for jobs at a coffee shop. Sparkle was the one interviewing us.
Sparkle: I don't even work at a coffee shop. I'm not sure if I even like coffee. Oh and I don't remember ever seeing you or Finny ever drink coffee.
Dawn: Dreams aren't supposed to make sense.
Twinkle: Oh. Oh, that's right.
Duke: Finny was being so cute, saying sweet things to Sparkle, flirting with her. Stuff like that.
Finny: I would have done that. What the heck.
Duke: I, however, *starts laughing*
Twinkle: Oh no. This does not sound good.
Duke: Okay, okay. Whew, that was a wild dream. So anyway, I was staring at Sparkle and shouting nonsense during the interview.
Sparkle: Sounds pleasant. It's definitely not related to the many times you interrupted my videos.
Duke: But then you hired Finny and me. I don't know why you even hired me in the first place since the only thing I said that relates to coffee is, "I want to GRIND!"
Twinkle: Oh dear god.
Duke: Oh and Twinkle and Dawn were already workers there. So on the first day, I walked into the coffee shop with only the little employee hat on my head. Then I kindly asked any of you to remove cactus thorns from my dick, but you all were like "no" and stepped away from me.
Twinkle: I am dying inside.
Duke: Then after that, Sparkle told me to grind the coffee beans to make coffee. So I went behind the counter to grind the coffee beans. But there were no coffee beans!
Finny: That sounds horrible!
Duke: It was a tragedy. Then I zoned out and was like, "Why am I naked?"
Dawn: Yeah, why would you go to work naked? I gave you plenty of nice outfits to wear, and this is how you repay me?
Duke: So I got an idea. I was like, "Hey, why don't I try to grind the cactus thorns out!"
Twinkle: I am dead inside.
Dawn: Wait, I remember. Not being fully clothed in dreams is hinting towards a feeling of insecurity in the real world.
Duke: So what I did was......

[Loud ringtone goes off, and Brock stands up]

Duke: ....... It freaking hurt, and I screamed. After that, I got fired. They said it was due to me behaving "inappropriately in the workplace," whatever that means.
Twinkle: Good.
Finny: There should have been coffee beans. Then you wouldn't have done that other thing.
Duke: But if someone- ahem, Twinkle- would have removed the cactus thorns, I would have no reason to do that.
Twinkle: Duke, what the actual hell!
Duke: I also looked at Dawn and Finny. Calm down.
Brock: Can you guys please be quiet? I'm having an important phone call right now.

[Room gets quiet except for Brock' s voice]

Brock: Yes, I love you. You're worth more than that overpriced RIM. Glad to hear you're getting more customers. I love you, dear.

[Brock hangs up after a few minutes of awkward silence]

Brock: Wait a minute. Duke, what is that?
Duke: What?
Brock: What drink is in that bottle you're holding?
Duke: Oh. Well, that is......

[Fierdan and Ryen (aka Night) magically enter scene]

Duke: Swag! It's a drink called Swag! *lunges and takes big sip from bottle* Ah, it's very refreshing!
Brock: Wow, you really are a drunkie. Duke: It's not alcohol this time, square head.
Ryen: It looks like champagne or vodka.
Brock: That is alcohol, drunkie.
Duke: No, it's Swag! *dabs and spills the liquid over himself*
Fierdan: You are an idiot.

[Fierdan gets up and slaps Duke across the face]

Duke: Wow, that was so uncalled for.
Fierdan: You're more Soulless than me at this point, so I hate your guts.
Ryen: I thought I told you to control your violent urges.
Fierdan: *glares at both Duke and Ryen* Shut up. You're both pieces of crap that only exist to make my life complete hell.
Dawn: Chill.
Fierdan: *glares at everyone now* Chill? You want me to chill? Did you forget that I'm the original fire Other, and that Duke only has fire powers because of me? Have you forgotten that Duke wouldn't have existed in the first place if it hadn't been for what I did? Because I haven't.
Dawn: What? Is this because you don't want Duke to end up like you? Drinking alcohol before 21.....
Fierdan: It has nothing to do with me caring about him. He's just my pet.
Duke: Stop calling me your pet!
Fierdan: I'll call you whatever I want.
Ryen: What is wrong with you, Daniel?
Fierdan: Ugh, I told you not to call me that!
Ryen: Well, I'll call you whatever I want.
Twinkle: *whispers to Dawn* I don't get it. What does Fierdan have against his real name? 
Dawn: Eh, I'm pretty sure they'll explain it.
Twinkle: Oh okay.

[Few seconds of silence]

Fierdan: Ryen, you are too much like Father. Drinking was one of the best ways to cope with the hell you and him made Dawn and me go through.
Duke: Yeah, so what? I've drank alcohol in the past as a coping skill just like you did. You're not special, Daniel.
Fierdan: Don't call me that again, or I swear I will end your life right here in front of everybody.
Ryen: Daniel, it's time to stop.

[Fierdan growls and is covered in black fire sparks]

Duke: If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have gotten to the point where alcohol could be a way to cope. You made my mother hate me, hurt me, treat me like absolute trash. You're the one ruining lives, Fierdan. Not me. It's you. Or should I call you Daniel?
Fierdan: I don't mind you guys calling me Daniel, but why... why.....
Ryen: Why what?
Fierdan: WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SOUND SO MUCH LIKE HIM WHEN YOU CALL ME THAT?!
Ryen: I sound nothing like Father.
Fierdan: Yeah right. You're speaking that word in a condescending way just like he did. You're saying it just like he did when he confronted me for being weak and small. You always hated me, brother. You think I'm weak for enduring all the abuse I went through. But you're the one who created the abuser. You created Soulless to make my life hell!

[Awkward silence]

Fierdan: He thought I was so weak and pathetic that he talked to me as if I was a girl. Just because I did some non-traditional masculine things, it didn't give him the right to say my name like "Danielle."
Dawn: We didn't mean to sound like Father when saying Daniel. You should know we all want nothing to do with him.
Fierdan: Dawn, oh Dawn.
Dawn: What?
Fierdan: *flames diminish* Even with the excessive abuse brought to me by Soulless, I also went to alcohol to try and remove memories- ones that I recently got back in full- of what he did to you. You see, Dawn, Father deserved to get burned and slaughtered by me. He shouldn't have done things with you. He shouldn't have killed your father. He shouldn't have killed Mother.

[Another awkward silence]

Sparkle: Well, I guess being overdramatic runs in genes. First Duke, now Fierdan.
Duke: I was only telling you about my dream. Fierdan was the one freaking out this time.
Fierdan: Yeah and you know what? You shouldn't have been drinking alcohol.
Twinkle: Wow, does being a hypocrite run in genes too?
Brock: It's my fault. I brought up the bottle.

[Brock goes up to Duke and snatches the bottle]

Brock: No way.....
Ryen: What?
Brock: It says "Swag" on the label.
Twinkle: Oh my god.
Duke: Aha! What did I tell you? I'm drinking Swag, and none of you believed me.

[Fierdan walks towards Brock and Duke]

Fierdan: Let me see that.
Brock: Oh, uh, okay.
Fierdan: I can't believe there's actually a drink called Swag.

[Fierdan takes a sip and then slaps Duke across the face again]

Duke: Hey! What was that for?
Fierdan: Swag is awful, dabbing is awful, you are awful for what you did in your dream.
Duke: Wow, you're so mean.
Fierdan: And you said nothing while I yelled at you for drinking alcohol. This Swag drink isn't an alcoholic drink, you idiot!
Duke: Yeah, I know. It's sparkling water.
Fierdan: You disgust me. You're here just drinking the atrocity.
Ryen: Wait, it's sparkling water?
Duke: Yeah.
Ryen: What the hell, Duke. What the hell.
Twinkle: I guess you two don't know Duke as much as I thought. Duke is known for doing bad things like this.
Duke: What? No, I'm not.
Twinkle: I'm sorry, hun, but yes you are.
Dawn: She's telling the truth.
Sparkle: Yeah, she is.
Finny: Yeah.
Duke: Wow. Okay.

Hope you liked it. :)
