Starman was stunned and confused. What on earth could the mayor of Inkopolis want? "You're Mr. Tallyhall, right? What do you want?" asked Starman, raising his gun at the mayor. Mr. Tallyhall proclaimed, "I am Minimall Tallyhall. The mayor of Inkopolis." Starman said, "Yes, I'm aware of that. Now state your-" "I am far different from the average politician."

Mr. Tallyhall cleared his throat and continued, "The average politician is a COWARD! When they want something, they send their men to go get it. When they hate something, they give speech after speech on why that thing is ruining the world. They attempt to build fear around that thing that they hate oh so much, in order to get people to rally against it."

Then, he exclaimed, "That is what makes me different from the rest! None of these politicians do anything themselves! That is what separates Minimall Tallyhall from the crusty old bastards who criticize him! When I want something, I go up to it and GET IT. When I hate something, I walk up to it and DESTROY IT. I don't need secret agents. I don't need to get the public to rally with me. All I need is MYSELF! Of course, people should still vote for me since I'm totally tubular and fixing Inkopolis."

Starman yelled, "None of that explains why you're here! What are your intentions?! How do you know about me!?" Mr. Tallyhall laughed and said, "That chef. I want his power. I'm going to get it. Even if it means killing you." Starman became furious that another person was attempting to mess with his plan, and immediately, he shot at Mr. Tallyhall.

The bullet raced towards the man at a speed faster than the two could comprehend. A bullet travels 1,800 mph, while the earth spins 1,000 mph. Surely, the impact would kill Mr. Tallyhall instantly. But somehow, the bullet merely bounced off the man's forehead, making a boing sound. Starman glanced at him, and then did a double take. "How did you- what- explain this!"

Mr. Tallyhall laughed at Starman, and then said, "Oingo Boingo is what I have named this phenomenon! Whenever I hum a melody, I can make anything really really bouncy!" Starman stepped back and said, "So this is your ability. If you've already obtained one, then why on earth do you want Hot Soup's cooking!?" Mr. Tallyhall laughed and exclaimed, "BECAUSE I WANT IT! NO ONE ON THIS GOD FORSAKEN PLANET SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THAT MUCH POWER BUT ME! I, MR. TALLYHALL, AM THE GREATEST, MOST TUBULAR BEING ALIVE!"

He ran towards Starman, who quickly got out of the way, jumping on top of the stranded car. "Do you also have one of these abilities?" asked Mr. Tallyhall. Starman stayed silent, refusing to answer. Hot Soup began to notice the commotion happening outside. He stuck his head out the window and exclaimed, "What the fuckkkk is happening!?" Starman commanded, "Stay inside! Don't interact with the outside!" Hot Soup quickly popped his head back in.

Mr. Tallyhall laughed and said, "That chef is mine!" He pulled a revolver out his pocket, and Starman quickly leaped back and hid began the car. "Not so intimidating now, are you!?" exclaimed Mr. Tallyhall, before laughing.
