The show opens with the blue velvet curtain again being drawn back and the stage is revealed in surprisingly good condition in lieu of the events at the end of the last show. Our hosts walk out from opposing sides and take their seats. Legato is carrying a half-eaten bag of cookies and Wolfwood can be heard grumbling the whole way.

"They feed him sweets and treat him like he runs the place…" he says. Legato innocently stares at the preacher and munches on one of his treats.

Legato gives a small smile and finishes his cookie. "These people are quite wonderful, Nicholas, wouldn't you say?"

Wolfwood glares back and then plants his hands on the armrests, and, leaning forward, addresses the audience. "Hi. I'm here against my will. Does anybody care?" Woldfood pauses. "Is anyone even out there?" he asks curiously.

"Hi!" Comes a voice from somewhere.

Wolfwood's eyes become slits and he scrunches up his face. "No wonder they won't let us see who's out there." He sits back.

"Let's get on with it," Legato drawls, his empty cookie bag on the floor slightly to his left. "Today we're talking about…" He reads a cue card. "How we got here we are, today. Well that should be easy. I was trained by my Master Knives to fight his brother who-"

Somewhat interested, Wolfwood speaks up. "Who what?" he asks.

Legato's eye widens and he frowns. "He, uhm, heh. He killed me. So how am I here?"

"Y'know—Wait. I was killed, too! I remember sitting on the floor, dying, and then… This." He comes to a realization. "OH GOD WE'RE IN HELL."

"Yay!" Legato claps his hands.

Wolfwood stands and paces, looking around "There's gotta be a misfile, I'm a priest, y'know!"

"An evil priest!" Legato smiles. Someone throws hom another bag of cookies from offstage. "Ooh!" he squeals.

"If this is Hell, then why are they nice to you?"

Legato smirks. "I'm evil. They obviously like me, here. So, how did I get here?" he crunches on a cookie.

"You killed me." Wolfwood folds his arms and takes away Legato's sweets. He eats a few before he is forced to hand them back.

"My powers still work," Legato observes.

"Yeah, bully for you. I don't have powers… Do I at least get more cigarettes?" A pack comes flying. "Maybe it's not Hell, after all. In which case," he points at Legato. "HE'S A MISFILE!" he calls to the back of the auditorium. No one responds. "Damn."

`The cue card changes. "Talk about bunnies?" Legato miffs.

"We have bunnies? I don't think so."

""What's a bunny?"

Wolfwood shrugs. "Beats me." A small rabbit hops onstage from the left and makes its way towards the two men. "Oh now what's that?!"

Legato gets down on the floor and holds a cookie out to the medium-sized animal. He holds out a cookie. The rabbit sniffs it and hops to hide behind Wolfwood.

"He-hey, now. What are you?" The preacher asks it. The rabbit just stares up at him so he picks it up. "It's cute."

Legato is sitting down, again, with his arms crossed. "I even tried to share…" he quietly sulks.

"What's that?" Wolfwood asks. "This thing isn't so bad. Want to see it?" he tentatively asks the other man.

"I… Guess." Wolfwood hands the rabbit to Legato and he holds it on his lap. After a minute or so, Wolfwood's fascination gets the better of him and he tries to take the creature back. "It's mine, now!" Legato snaps and shoos the other away.

Wolfwood rolls his eyes and takes his seat, again, and stares at the cue cards, hoping something else will happen. The new card says, "The End". "Already?" he asks. He takes out a cigarette and lights it up.

Stage hands come out and begin to walk towards Legato, who is still petting the rabbit. One asks for it and the blue-haired man only hugs it tighter to himself. He glares and warns the hands to back off. Someone else tries to outright take the little animal from Legato and he is forced to slam his own head into the wall. The others back up as the curtain closes.

"Bet you all die," is Woflwood's dim conjecture from behind the thin wall.

Soo. Not too much of a linear plot, here. I will try to make this more cohesive in the next chapter. Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think :)
