From a nearby building, Walker watches the scene unfold.

  For some reason, Sherman Chex isn't fighting back against the guards as they grab him and start to drag him away.

  “Why is he just letting them take him?”

  Walker walks over to a cabinet, where he finds a knife. He rolls up the right leg of his pants, up to around his shins. There's a metal cuff around his leg, with a spike stabbing into his leg. He winces as he inserts the knife in-between the cuff and his leg and begins to pry the spike out of his leg.

  After a few minutes of immense pain, he's bent the cuff enough such that he can pull the spike out. Once the cuff is off, Walker tosses it into the air and begins to walk. The cuff does not fall back down, and instead stays in the air.

  Walker suddenly feels very tired, so he quickly walks through the kitchen, where he was, to the living room, where he sits on the couch to prevent from fainting.

  Suddenly, he hears a very high pitched voice in his head.

  “Oh my god! I thought you died!”

  “Oh, I've just... I had a bit of lead in my leg... I'll be fine.”

  A ball of dust flies up from the ground and spins around him,

  “You're bleeding! That's not good!”

  “No, no, don't worry about it, it's just a little bit.”

  The ball of dust flies up towards his face. It now has a face made of darker pieces of dust.

  “Are you sure? It looks really bad!”

  “I’m fine...”

  “Okay! Turn on the television, it’s time for the next episode!”

  Walker picks up the remote, which is on a table in front of him, and turns on the television.

  There’s a message on the screen.

  The screen disappears with a spinning transition.

  ( The ball of dust floats towards the screen. Samuel Walker’s eyes begin to shut.

  “Walker, pay attention!! The show’s about to start!”

  Walker forces his eyes to stay open. )

  A very annoying song begins to play.

  There’s a scene of a lady with dark green hair, similar to that of the Ascyll family’s, tripping over a rock into a fountain. There’s some sort of special effect that radiates from her head when she hits the water.

  The music continues as it cuts to a different scene, in a construction yard, where the same lady and a man with dark red hair are laughing as a man with black hair is hanging from a wrecking ball.

  In the next, the same lady is dancing in a living room, watching a movie about a hypnotized male model.

  ( The ball of dust is enamored with the television. )

  Finally, it cuts to a scene of a group of people sitting in a theater, with a title card. The music fades away as well.

  “Jenny’s Town”

  ( Walker, regaining his strength, speaks up.

  “I forgot how ridiculous this show was.”

  The ball of dust is unhappy and starts to fly around Walker’s head.

  “The show is not ridiculous! It is great!!” )

  The credits for the show begin to appear in the bottom right.

  The show starts with a scene of the same lady reading a book in a rocking chair. The book is titled “2521”, and is incredibly large. She appears to be nearing the end of it.

  [ Starring Jenny Watcher as

  Jenny Mooringway ]

  “Wow, I never thought he’d save her!”

  An audience which doesn’t exist laughs. The doorbell rings, and she stands up to go towards the blinds. She looks outside, and sees a woman with black hair in a lawyer’s outfit. Her hair appears to be tying itself into knots. Jenny turns to face the camera and covers her mouth with her hand.

  “Uh oh, looks like my ex-husband is trying to sue me again!”

  [ Starring Suzanne Harper as

  Annoying Lawyer Lady I Hate ]

  A laugh-track plays. Suzanne rings the doorbell again, as Jenny rushes to the closet.

  “Can’t meet with a lawyer dressed like a hooligan!”

  She looks inside, and the camera turns around to look at what’s inside. It’s all the same outfit, a green shirt and red pants. She picks out a set and goes offscreen to change into them, despite already wearing the exact same outfit.

  [ Directed by

  An Anonymous Reaper ]

  As Jenny walks down the stairs, she sees Suzanne already at the bottom, somehow inside her house.

  “Suzy, how’d you get in here?”

  Suzanne is unamused. She points to where the door used to be.

  “I walked through the door.”

  “Suzy, that’s the third one!”

  Suzanne pulls out a large yellow envelope and throws it at Jenny. It bounces off her head, causing Jenny to stumble and fall down the stairs. A laugh track plays once she reaches the bottom.

  ( The ball of dust, completely locked into the show, starts to laugh very hard. )

  The camera pans toward Jenny’s face as she opens the envelope, and she frowns immensely. The scene is now covered in a darker blue vignette.

  “What do you mean he’s dead?”

  It cuts to another scene, where a few people are walking down the street.

  Once the camera is no longer on them, Suzanne exhales very loudly.

  “He’s not dead, Jenny.”

  “Of course he’s not dead, Suzanne, you think I’d believe that?”

  Jenny’s hair seems to turn into scales.

  “Say what you’re here for, Suzanne Harper.”

  “I got married to Alexander a while ago! Get with the times, Jen.”

  “What are you here for.” She hisses, as if she were a snake.

  Suzanne smiles, though it is an incredibly fake smile.

  “I’m just here to get you to stop this show.”

  “What, you think I wanted to be on this three hundred thousand season long sitcom?”

  “Are you saying you’re trapped here?”

  “It’s going to cut back to us in a few seconds, we’re going to the couch for the next scene.”

  They quickly rush to the next scene.

  After that shocking revelation about oranges and the creation of the debt system, it cuts back to Jenny’s home, now she and Suzanne are sitting on the couch.

  “Is he really dead?”

  “Unfortunately, yes, but...”

  “But what?”

  Suzanne grabs one of the last pages from the envelope and faces it towards Jenny.

  “As he had no family, no friends, no acquaintances, and no job, you’re entitled to all the stuff he had when he died!”

  “You mean all the stuff he stole from me?”

  “Legally, no. Personally, he absolutely stole that stuff from you...”

  A laugh track plays.

  Sherman Chex is currently in a cell in the basement of the not-castle. On the walls are green banners, and there’s metal bars that lead into a hallway.

  There’s a leak in the ceiling, which causes some drops of water to hit the ground, and some of them nearly splash and hit him, so he’s recoiled in the corner away from it.

  He takes another look at the bars and realizes something. He can absolutely just fit through them. As such, he does so and escapes the cell very easily. He finds the stairs and goes up them, leading him to a very fancy hallway with a green carpet.

  “Wow, I’ve never seen a green hallway before...“

  Once he reaches the end, he sees a door and a window. Through the window, he sees a peculiarly shaped neighborhood, centered around a fountain. There’s two people walking, one in a lawyer’s clothes, who he recognizes as Suzanne, and the other wearing green and red.

  He tries to open the door, but it doesn’t move at all.
