Pinhead tells a story

"So what is this story about that strange woman Pinny?" Kirsty asked. Pinhead felt his stomach go all flip floppy. If anyone of his friends called him Pinny he would have dunked them in the nearest toilet or dumpster. His funny feeling wasn't entirely unpleasant though. It felt as if he were walking on air whenever she came to visit him or spoke to him; he found that he liked it. "Well…it all started centuries ago…long before you were born." Pinhead began.

Me and my gash were preparing to do our routine roundup being as some unfortunate human opened the box. When who should happen to appear-Merkova. She was being her boastful self and had just acquired a gash of her own that was just as stupid as she was. Except they weren't afraid of humans. I knew she was and so did my gash. She kept pestering us to take her with and we were refusing. At first. But then I figured we could take her with us and have some fun at her expense. If she saw a human we figured it would be hysterical to see her freak out and run amok.

At this memory Pinhead began to laugh so it was hard to understand the last few words he was saying do to his laughing fit. However Kirsty, even though she found it funny at first didn't seem to think it so funny now. "So basically you tortured her for no reason. No wonder she is the way she is." Kirsty snipped. Pinhead stared at her for a moment. "Kirsty you don't understand…she started-" "I don't care if she started it." You terrified her." Kirsty interrupted. "but go ahead. Finish your story."

Anyway, Female, Butterball, Chatterer and I were joined by Merkova. We waited patiently for the pillars to open and that's when she started out ahead of us. No big deal. When she was ahead that's when we made our move. We pushed her ahead of us and she literally flew into a human that opened the box. I don't know who was more scared him or her. It was so funny to see them run opposite ways of each other screaming that we decided to let him go. I nearly pissed myself laughing so hard. Merkova turned and ran back to the doorway but it was already closing. We pushed her back to prevent her from returning with us. Hey, we figured she could come back when the portal opened again. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. Well there was that one time Butterball managed to fit into Female's clothing but being as you just ate I don't want to see half digested food fly everywhere.

Pinhead began to laugh again. Kirsty just sighed and shook her head looking at the cenobite who was now literally rolling on the floor laughing. Members of his gash looked at him and then at Kirsty. Butterball wondered if she poked him in his belly. That was a ticklish spot you know….Butterball himself dissolved into laugher whenever anyone made a move to poke his belly.

Meanwhile

Merkova wandered about the Labyrinth alone. She felt silly for running away from Roc. She knew Roc wouldn't hurt her. He thought she was playing. In a way she was beginning to care for him (as if he were a younger brother). But she sure as hell wouldn't admit it to her gash or Pinhead for that matter. Kirsty had gotten fed up with Pinhead's crazed laughter and stormed off. She soon came across Merkova who had seen her as well. Merkova swallowed nervously and wanted desprately to run. But she was curious as well.

"Uhh, Hi." Kirsty said quietly. Merkova stared at her for a moment. "Hey." Merkova replied cautiously.

Coming soon: Merkova actually talks to Kirsty without freaking out…what is the end result
