Seventh Interviewee- Barrel
Me: Hello! After that fiasco with Shock's list, let's have a tamer interview. Please welcome my next guest.
Barrel: My name is Barrel and I'm the third Boogie's Boy.
Me: Next question, Are you… (reads question to self) Who's been hacking the teleprompter?
Teleprompter room
Shock: (Types questions such as "Are you Jack's illegitimate child?" and "Do you love Sally?") Hehehehe! Now Barrel will suffer an embarrassing and torturous fate!
Line: (Comes up behind Shock and taps her on the shoulder) Ahem! That's my job.
Shock: Oh, (insert random naughty word here). I'm discovered.
Line: (Kicks Shock out of the teleprompter room)
Back in interview room
Me: Barrel, what flavor is your lollipop?
Barrel: Pumpkin and Spiders.
Me: Some people said you're a ghoul. Are you well aware of the definition of the word?
Barrel: No.
Lock (Over loudspeaker): It says in the dictionary that a ghoul is "an evil spirit that robs graves and eats dead people"
Barrel: I think I'm gonna be sick! (Throws up in trash can) I never ate rotting meat in my life!
Me: Lock, don't be disgusting!
Lock: That's what the dictionary says!
Me: It's obvious that Lock and Shock are trying to sabotage my interview with Barrel.
Lock and Shock: Damn! (Cover mouths) We said a naughty word.
Me: It's about time I ended things! So, Barrel, how'd you like this interview?
Barrel: It was okay. At least I lived through my interview.
Me: Now for bonus material! A sneak peek at an upcoming fic!
Preview-
"Well, this is my room, Jack!" Barrel said. He carried the pumpkin king's disembodied skull on a cushion and set it on his nightstand.
Jack glanced at Barrel's bed. It was hand-crafted out of the bones of various creatures. A really thin mattress lay on its frame, covered with only rags for blankets. "You sleep in that thing?"
Barrel nodded. "It's a little hobby of mine! I build stuff out of bones that Oogie has discarded. Sorry about the sheets and mattress! I get all of Lock and Shock's hand-me-downs! That stinks."
End Of Preview
Well, here's the summary. Iggie Boogie burns down Jack's house in an effort to kill Jack. Sally and baby Owen escape. So does Jack, but one problem. His head falls off as he tries to escape. Lock, Shock and Barrel rescue Jack's skull and takes it to their treehouse where Iggie can never find it. Lock, Shock, and Barrel agree to keep watch over Jack's skull until the body (which unknown to Jack, was unharmed in the fire and kept in a special case in the Mayor's house) is found.
During that time, Lock, Shock, and Barrel explain to Jack their history.
Good Idea, huh? Shall I go through with it?
