Strong Bad sauntered up to his computer and took a seat on the stool. "Checkin checkin checkin da email… check… lets see… what the-!" He typed away at the keyboard, but the screen remained blank. "The Cheat! Get over here and fix the Lappy! I gots emails to check!" Strong Bad called.
The Cheat came speeding in and started babbling desperately in cheatish, waving his arms and hopping around.
"What do you mean none of the computers are working!" Strong Bad exclaimed. "Uh oh, this doesn't mean another virus, does it?"
Suddenly the lights flickered and went out. There was a crash, and Strong Mad yelled from another room, "STRONG MAD CAN'T SEE!"
"This doesn't look good." Strong Mad remarked from somewhere in the darkness. The Cheat agreed.
A few minutes later, The Brothers Strong and The Cheat managed to navigate their way outside to the stick, where the residents of Free Country had gathered in the wake of the outage. The darkening sky didn't help their situation any.
"This outage better not last long… I have a roast in the oven!" The King of Town lamented.
"How's a guy s'posed to run a business without any power!" Bubs added.
"I was jorst gettin ready to make a TV dinnor." Coach Z remarked.
"AaAaAaA I left my legs in the closet tree!" Homsar babbled.
"Hey, where's dorkstar?" Inquired Strong Bad. The question was met with silence.
"Oh, this is all my fault! I should have gone looking for Homestar after all. Now something bad has happened…" Marzipan finally said.
"What should we do?" Strong Sad wondered.
"I have an idea… lets build a big bonfire with all of Strong Sad's crappy poetry. We should be able to light all of Free Country for a month!" Strong Bad cheerfully suggested.
"Now wait a minute-" Strong Sad started to protest, but Marzipan interrupted him.
"I have some wood we can use in my woodpile. A fire is exactly what we need until the power comes back. Strong Mad, come help me get the firewood." With that, Strong Mad and Marzipan departed from the bewildered gathering.
"Anyone up for a game of poker?" Bubs suggested.
"You're on, Bubs!" Strong Bad replied. There was a murmur of agreement, and Bubs whipped out a stack of poker chips and began handing them out.
"No eatin' the poker chips this time, Kingy." Bubs warned the KoT.
"I could've sworn they were dark colored Necco Wafers…" The KoT responded defensively.
