All right so. Google Docs went down for like three hours, which is why you don't have an interlude yet.
But I decided to use those three hours, and get me some XP. So uhhh... have this.
When Will Unlife Begin
[Zoom in on a forlorn castle in the Unhappiest Place on Earth, Drusselstein]
[Shutters slam open in a burst of wind]
[Malifishmirtz materializes in a spectral, glow, glares, and then…]
Malifishmertz: yawns
Boy, it sure has been a while since my descendant awakened me. When did he say he'd be back again?
[singing]
Seven AM, the usual morning rundown
[being beaten over the head by enchanted mop]
Fight with the chores and spells 'till the floor's all clean
Fix up the traps, don't lapse, have a nervous breakdown
[cowering in corner as multiple flying cleaning tools t-pose over him]
Fight again, and by then it's like 7:15
And so I'll read spellbooks
Yeah maybe two or three
I'll add a few Goozims to the menagerie,
I'll have a small snit-fit,
And cry and basically,
Just wonder when will unlife begin?
I cannot eat lunch but I'll try to brew some potions,
Cast evil spells, examine my cells and hex,
Torment the peasants, stare at that weird octagon thing
Then I'll cast, maybe blast, haunt my house,
Test subjects!
And I'll reread the books
If I have time to spare
I'll torment peasants more,
Even if it's unfair,
[continually rewriting dozens of discarded versions of this song]
And then I'll write and write
And rewrite this fanfare
Stuck in the same place I've always been
[Malifishmertz spinning in circles with spectral arms outstretched]
And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin'
And wonderin' and wonderin'
When will my unlife begin?
Tomorrow night
The lights will appear
Just like they do when Drusselstein burns down each year
What is it like
Out there where flames glow?
While I am cursed to
Repose in this chateau?
[Door creaks open]
Malifishmertz: Gasp! Doofenshmirstz! You came back!
Lawn Gnorme: Sorry sir, it's just me.
Malifishmertz [visibly disappointed] Oh.
