Chapter 5: The Slightly-above-average Barrel Show
Hey! Hi! It's Barrel here! Lock and Shock aren't here, Shock's gone to go and try killing our old narrator, and Lock trying to make her stop. I dunno why she's so mad, I can see why he didn't wanna continue. I mean, I'm here, so it's gonna be annoying, right? So uh, anyways... ASLEF caught a viper yesterday! Lock was pissed off because he's only ever caught adders, but Shock told him to "stop being snarky, it's a bloody cat". I guess cats are actually better hunters than Lock is. He's always told me he's the best hunter in Halloween Town, and he did catch a vulture that one time... wait no no no don't think about that, Barrel! That was all icky and gross! Ugh... so yeah, Lock always says he's the best hunter in town, but ASLEF's actually better than him. I guess maybe he isn't as good as he says he is, but he wouldn't lie to me, so, uh... I dunno.
What else has happened? Oh yeah, Shock roped me into helping her plan her revenge on our old narrator, because she promised me extra candy. She still hasn't given me any, but I stole some of Lock's so I win anyway. Speaking of Lock he left the bathtub out overnight last week. I absolutely pummelled him for that! He isn't stupid enough to leave it out accidentally, so he did it intentionally! I had to de-rust it's legs, and it was full of dirty rainwater! What monster would leave a defenceless bathtub outside all night like that!? Crap, I'm rambling again. Oogie always said I talk too much, and I always got a smack to make me shut up. Lock sometimes does that as well, but it doesn't hurt as much. I mean, Oogie's punishments actually rarely hurt, it was more what he said that hurt. That's why I don't like annoying Shock, she can says some really mean stuff. She's really smart, so that's probably why she's best at insults-
Lock: You dare usurp MY show to call Shock INTELLIGENT?!
Barrel: Time to scram!
Lock: I'm gonna kill ya! Nobody comes on my show and calls Shock smarter than me!
Shock: What's five times two?
Lock: Twelve!
Shock: This. This is the level of intelligence I am stuck with listening to every day.
A/N: Another episode focusing on Barrel! I don't feel like he gets as much attention as Lock or Shock, so I like to try and develop his character more. I imagine him as being one to start talking, and then ramble on about five other subjects at once.
Also Trilliumwoods, notice the references to Continuing Adventures? ;)
The ending was a little nod to the South Park movie, because it's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen, besides my brother accidentally glitching out our copy of Luigi's Mansion lol.
Thank you all for reading, reviews are most appreciated, and see you all again soon!
