Artemis: I hope the guests will arrive soon.

Butler: Perhaps you do, but this ball presents signifigant risks.

Artemis: Here comes a shuttle.

Butler: How can you tell? You aren't wearing any glasses...

Artemis: ...

Butler: Well?

Artemis: I can't see it anymore... Something's up...

Butler: Perhaps this is more meddling from the author...

Artemis: I might have to do more hacking.

Butler: Are you sure that is wise, sir?

Artemis: The well bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.

Butler: More Oscar Wilde?

Artemis: I am quite aware of the fact.

*Butlers phone beeps, he checks it.*

Butler: Two small blips coming into the grounds.

Artemis: Airborne or groundbound?

Butler: Groundbound. Moving at just above walking speed.

Artemis: Size?

Bulter: Pixie sized, approximately.

Artemis: It must be Opal Kobois henchmen!

Butler: The blips have entered the house... Losing radar signals.

*The sky darkens, and lightning flashes outside the windows.*

Artemis: It seems that poetic licence has overidden the laws of nature. Yet again.

Butler: Shall I contact the weather channel? Surely the people of Dublin would benefit from having a heads up as to this mysterious storm?

Artemis: Butler... Since when do we care about other people?

Butler: Perhaps we should concentrate less on moral dilemmas and more on the odd shadow that just passed behind you?

Artemis: I am sure that it is nothing but another literary cliche. This chapter seems to contain many of them.

Butler: Down. Now. *Pulls out gun.* Show yourself!

Mysterious Literary Cliche: Is that any way to treat family?

Artemis: Could this mysterious literary cliche be... My brother?

Myles: Obviously. I is nearly as devious as you!

Artemis: Is the misuse of that verb an attempt to portray you as jeuvenile?

Myles: ...I never thought to analyze it in that way.

Artemis: How could such a thing happen!

Butler: More importantly, where is Beckett?

Myles: He's with... We were...

Artemis: Who?

Myles: I'll never tell you! You are soon to become mentally unsound!

Artemis: How? This is written just after the book "The Lost Colony"! I could understand reading ONE book ahead, but TWO is just ridiculous! I ask you again, brother. Who is influencing you?

Myles: He watches over us all... He controls everything we do... He sees our future...

Artemis: Larry King?

Myles: No... The author, Riquez Oro.

Artemis: I should have guessed he was behind this! all the mediocre literary cliches in this work SCREAM Riquez Oro.

Butler: But, where is Beckett?

Myles: You shouldn't worry about Beckett, the worst he can do is clout you with a skateboard.

Artemis: What does-OUCH!

Becket: Do you like my cool board DUDE?

Artemis: Dude. This is horriffic. Terrible. Aweful. A Fowl just uttered the word... dude.

Becket: Muahahahahahahahahaa!

Myles: Muahahahahahahahahaa!

Butler: I suppose Riquez Oro also taught you good evil laugh.

Myles: Indeed.

Becket: Can we put on costumes now?

Myles: Yes. Our real purpose here are to attend the costume party!

Artemis: My head hurts too much from your atrocious verb use and slang to argue. Fine.
