The melodious strumming of a ukulele can be heard ringing out through the area, which CODY 2018 hears and is for whatever reason displeased by. CODY 2018 looks around for a bit and eventually notices a rainbow, from which a large man named IZ descends to the ground, still cheerfully strumming on his ukulele. CODY 2018 walks up to the rainbow and touches it to make its colors match his own, which doesn't seem to bother IZ.
"So, who are you, anyways?" demands CODY 2018, turning to IZ. IZ just keeps on humming the song he's playing. "I don't speak singsong. Speak right or perish." IZ just keeps playing the ukulele and starts walking away. "You think you can just walk away from me?" CODY 2018 changes the ground to his colors and then slinks into it, and IZ finally responds, having finished playing the song.
"Aye, man, I'm sorry. I have a concert to go to, I can talk afterwards." says IZ.
"No, no you don't just walk away from me. Nobody walks away from me except for my brothers, and even then it's only allowed in very specific cases!" CODY 2018 pulls out his syringe and goes to inject IZ, but for some reason, he can feel something holding the needle back, preventing it from piercing IZ's skin. CODY 2018 notices IZ's ukulele and grabs that instead, before breaking it over his leg. "WHAT YA GONNA DO NOW, HUH?"
"Not cool, man." IZ sighs, though he still doesn't show any hurtful intent. CODY 2018 goes to inject IZ again, but IZ just calmly grabs his wrist and holds it back.
"I just..want to...make you...the CORRECT COLORS!" hisses CODY 2018, attempting to slink into the ground to get at IZ from another angle. IZ just starts walking away, and CODY 2018 tries to throw the syringe, but CODY 2017 catches it out of the air.
"CODY...Mom says you shouldn't do this to everyone you meet." CODY 2017 whispers.
"ARGHHH! FINE!" CODY 2018 slinks away in defeat, but he's still angered by this.
IZ walks towards where his concert is, but he needs to find a new ukulele on the way, since CODY 2018 broke his old one. John Mir walks up to IZ and asks if he knows where the Mirror of Truth is, and IZ apologizes and says he has no clue.
"I really need to find it before the 12 days, or I'll never be able to smash it in time!" urges John Mir.
"Sorry, if I could help you I would, but I'm already running late to my concert and I still need to pick up a new ukulele on the way, so I don't really have time to spare. Maybe afterwards, okay?" IZ says, and John just walks away. IZ continues walking, passing by John Doe on his way and exchanging a wave. IZ also passes by what seems to be a dead body, but when he begins to pay his respects, Bone Boy comes out of his body bag and starts yelling at him
"OI, I AIN'T DEAD! You can't just pay respects when the person ain't dead!" Bone Boy yells.
"My bad, it can be hard to tell at times and I'm in a bit of a hurry. I need to get to my concert and pick up a new ukulele on the way." IZ responds.
"Would a lute work?"
"I'm not as experienced with them, so I don't know."
"Ah, just take it." Bone Boy says, handing IZ a replica of a golden lute. IZ takes the instrument and thanks Bone Boy, before reaching the location of his concert, which was three feet to the right. IZ goes up on stage and starts to strum the first note, but then the live feed of this event pauses with a "TO BE CONTINUED" message appearing on the screen.
"What the FUCK?! Why do they do this shit with live TV now? It doesn't even make SENSE!" yells Yurge the Slouch, angrily throwing his remote at the TV. Yurge watches through the two commercials, still fuming with rage. The first one is an advertisement for Trader Joe's, which Yurge is really tired of seeing, and the second one is advertising Gamerman's next game review, which is on "Ckomlichk's Church Simulator". The commercials end and the live feed returns, but since it's a live feed, IZ is already done playing, which angers Yurge even more. Yurge goes to find a recording online, and is flabbergasted to see that the entire concert was just IZ playing that single note, and the crowd bursting into applause. This note seemed to be magical enough to convert the lute into a ukulele. Yurge just turns off the TV and goes outside to water his slomponchers. Meanwhile, confetti randomly starts falling around Nikku, which he ignores.
Ratchelina suddenly wakes up, as someone changed her personality back to "Holiday" after it had been stuck on "Corpse" for a long time. Ratchelina wonders how long she was out, but quickly pushes aside this question and starts throwing barbed wire Christmas lights over every tree in sight. One of these trees is Oak Oakley, who just eats the lights, causing Ratchelina to "frown" as she replaces them. Oakley eats them again, and a strange poster with a weird image on it flies over and attaches to Oakley. Ratchelina ties the image to Oakley with more barbed wire, just in time for John Mir to show up and ask Ratchelina if she knows where the mirror is. Ratchelina pulls out a stocking mace and smashes it over John Mir's head, mortally wounding him. John Mir recognizes the distinct sound of the Mirror of Truth being smashed, though, and realizes it was inside of that stocking.
"Thank...you…" groans John Mir, as he falls to the ground and dies.
"Happy Holidays." responds Ratchelina, before turning back to Oakley to continue putting lights on him.
"Hey, quit throwing those lights at me!" Oakley says, having given up on trying to eat all these lights.
"Well, if I don't decorate you for the 12 days, nobody will!" Ratchelina responds, getting more lights ready.
"Well what if I don't wanna be decorated, huh?"
"That's physically impossible."
"Oh yeah? Well so is you being able to see anything since you have no face!" declares Oakley, which makes Ratchelina growl angrily. Ratchelina slams a morning star down on top of Oakley, who starts to laugh at this but is chopped down by a random lumberjack. Ratchelina is glad that Oakley finally shut up, and starts covering the corpse in more of those lights.
