Prologue

"Louis! Do be careful…You might hurt yourself…" Michael stood by the side of the stairway leading into the upstairs room of the Junk Shop. Louis was scurrying from wall to wall, carrying various gadgets and pieces of machinery back and forth, placing them and taking them out of boxes stacked around the room. Louis only stopped for a moment to wipe his sweat off his glasses.

"Don't worry sir, I'm only organizing everything. Gotta have room for when the new furniture arrives," Louis sputtered in a rushed tone. Michael shrugged and quietly started his way back downstairs…only to be knocked over by a familiar cheery, star-spangled bandanna-wearing carpenter, dashing his way up the stairs with a large box ,(that he could surprisingly still carry while traveling at his current speed.).

"Package delivery!!! Delivery for the Junk Shop!!! Yo, Lou!!!" Joe boomed while inviting himself into the room. Louis jumped and stood motionless, startled by the sudden burst of ear-agitating noise.

"Ah! Joe…T-thanks for bringing in the new furniture…," Louis stuttered as Joe placed the box down next to him. After handing Joe the money to pay for the furniture, Louis immediately went back to his work. Joe, however, did not leave, but started pacing through the room, glancing at different objects packed into the boxes. One particular item happened to catch his eye, and he skipped over to it, snatched it, and started wiping dust particles off the machine's lens.

"Lou, what's this thingy?" Joe asked, holding up the item and pointing at it for emphasis.

"J-just an old video camera," Louis stuttered, not looking up from his work. "Though it still works, I'm not sure what to do with it, and I might even throw it away. But for now, p-please just set it back in its box for now." Joe stared at the camera for a minute, before his face lit up with a sudden idea realization. Grinning slyly, he crossed his fingers behind his back and faced toward Louis.

"Don't worry, Lou…I'll put it right back where I found it" Joe smiled sweetly, attempting to sound innocent. No sooner later, Joe sprinted back down the stairs, the camera tucked safely under his arm, not noticing that he had run over the moaning Michael he had already knocked down once before, and flew out the Junk Shop door. He skipped merrily through the village streets, not stopping until he reached his bedroom in the Carpenter's Workshop. After locking the door and making sure no one else was around, Joe finally switched on the camera and faced the lens toward him. In a hushed documentary voice, he spoke: "Greetings, my friends. I, Joe, shall be your host as we hunt for…The Flower Bud Village Idiot! Stay tuned, for the first chapter of this saga, we will examine habits of the emo carpenter, Kurt! You won't wanna miss it!" Joe paused the camera, and let out a much needed evil laugh before scurrying out the door, ready to spy on his first victim.
