Mr. Monday: So, I hate to have to do this, but I will. I wroted a story mocking Twilight that's called The Smell of Roses. In it everyone dies, and I call the main couple Tattoo and Octopussy. Anywaaaaaaaaays…The songs in this chapter are from Shock Treatment and Oingo Boingo.
Chapter 5, Shock Treatment:
The Players were still in the first day, as Ketsueki had said that he wanted to discuss the week with them personally. They were all still back stage.
"Alright, that was a good start, but you'll need to make some improvements." Ketsueki said.
Ketsueki began to make a short list of their vocal problems, but Neku couldn't concentrate. Strangely enough he saw several Noise crowding around Shiki, before he saw them all leap at her.
"Shiki watch out!" Neku tackled the girl to the ground, in his mind he was saving her certain doom.
"Yo phones what the hell was that?" Beat was the first to ask.
"Neku are you feeling alright?" Worry was evident in Rhyme's voice.
Neku had been the only one who had seen the attacking Noise.
"Neku dear are you alright?" Ketsueki used the same annoying title that Joshua did.
Neku and Shiki stood up, and Neku realized that everyone in the room was staring at him, clearly confused.
"Can't you guys see the Noise!" Neku asked defensively.
Everyone in the room shook their head, embarrassing the young Player. He was about to comment that there was something weird going on, but the Players blacked out.
"You can make him hallucinate?" Judging by the tone of Ketsueki's voice, he was impressed.
"Yep. You moved it here right?" Masaru asked the Conductor.
"Of course, dear." Ketsueki replied, the dear annoyed Masaru too.
The four Players woke up at the Scramble Crossing again. They assumed it was the Second Day, and the texts they got confirmed it.
"I'm afraid Neku isn't doing too good. Take him to the outskirts of town where there's a mental health facility and get him cured before the song. Fail and face erasure." Neku read aloud. "I'm fine though." He added.
"Neku, you tackled me because you saw imaginary Noise, you're not fine." Shiki replied, sounding worried.
The Players, including the reluctant Neku, all walked to the outskirts of Shibuya.
"Does anyone else think that maybe that was a trick or something?" Neku thought, although for some reason his friends couldn't hear him.
Neku kept trying to talk, but all his friends heard was him shouting random phrases such as apple juice, and then begin dancing around. Beat started laughing, but the others did not find Neku's apparent mental problems funny.
When they got the edge of town they saw a hospital that they didn't even know existed. They walked into the hospital and into a lobby. The walls were painted all white, the whole place smelled like disinfectant, and all the chairs were bolted to the ground. While Neku only saw Albatross standing in the room, the others saw Albatross as a young man wearing scrubs, and other nonexistent patients.
"This is the boy we got a call about?" The man asked.
"Yeah." Shiki guessed, figuring that Masaru had called before giving them the Objective.
"Right this way young man." The doctor grabbed Neku, who had apparently begun punching every chair in the room, and led him into a hallway. "It'll be about an hour, but we should be able to use shock treatment to snap him out of it.
The other three followed the 'doctor' through the halls, and a nurse eventually joined them, until Neku was led into a large room with a large cage with a chair inside of it. Neku was put into a straight jacket and forced onto the chair in the cage, while the others waited outside of it.
"What are you two doing? You're not doctors" Neku asked angrily, although only the people he was asking could hear him.
"Well Neku, you see…" Neku was the only one who heard Albatross say this. "I'm not a loco with a motive to suture myself" Everyone could hear Albatross sing, although to them it was the doctor. "I've been a cynic for too many years. Playing doctor and nurse it can be good for your health. I've seen clinics with those gimmicks in Tangiers." 'The doctor' hooked up a large machine to Neku's head.
"But if you open your heart to a smooth operator, he'll take you for all that you've got, he'll hand you a curse that will be with you later. It'll take you the way he takes off like a shoot." Kurohime, or the nurse, began to hook the machine up to a wall.
"You need a bit off…." Once the machine was ready Albatross left the cage.
"Ooooh shock treatment!" Both doctor and nurse shouted, while also pulling a huge lever that delivered a weird shock to Neku's brain.
"Gets you jumping like a real live wire! Need a bit of…." Neku could tell that once they finished the verse there would be another shock, which didn't really hurt him so much as annoyed him.
"Oooh shock treatment!" The siblings pulled the lever again, while the other three Players watched in confusion.
"So look out Mister, don't you blow your last resistor for a vista that'll mystify ya." While Albatross kept singing Masaru was watching the group from a two way mirror.
"You're blinded by romance." Kurohime, appearing as the nurse to everybody except the Sakurabas, looked at Shiki. "You're blinded by science. You're condition is critically grave, but don't expect mercy from such an alliance, suspicion of traditions so new wave." Kurohime climbed onto the cage while she sang the last part.
"You need a bit of…" The 'doctor and nurse' approached the lever again.
"Ooh shock treatment!" This time everyone in the room, besides Neku, sang along while Neku was electrocuted.
"Gets you jumping like a real live wire! You need a bit of…"
"Oooh shock treatment!" Everyone was standing around the cage, watching Neku.
"So look out Mister, don't you blow your last resistor for a sister that'll certify ya, fy ya, fy ya. You need a bit of…"
"Oooh shock treatment!" More electricity went through Neku's body.
"Gets you jumping like a real live wire! You need a bit of…"
"Ooooh shock treatment!" Everyone shouted together.
"So look out mister don't you blow your last resistor for a sister that'll certify ya, fy ya, fya ya." Once the song was over it appeared to the other Players that Neku was let out of the straight jacket and cage, although really he wasn't.
"Well, your friend should be cured." 'The doctor' explained.
Immediately all the Players, besides the real Neku, blacked out. Masaru left the room he was in and approached Neku, who was bound in the cage still.
"Well well well brother, it seems that the roles have been reversed." Masaru taunted Neku.
"What the hell is going on here?" Neku demanded.
"Well, it seems that you were right about me, I am insane. I can make people hallucinate, change their perception of reality." Masaru explained.
"So you did this so you could get pay back by putting me in a fake asylum."
Masaru chuckled. "Neku you think so small, it will get much worse than you can imagine." And with that the Game Master left, leaving a very confused Neku to be watched over by Albatross and Kurohime.
Mr. Monday: Damn, I hated the way that chapter turned out. But it was necessary, not just so I could reference Shock Treatment, but for the general plot. But yes, considering everyone could sing and I'm ignoring plot holes.
