Melanie - Hey, was the Black Death caused by a Corruption Avatar, d’you think ?
Jon, not looking up from his book - We didn’t do everything, Mel. Sometimes shit just happens
Melanie, rolling her eyes - It’s a yes-or-no question. Not much of an Eye Avatar if you can’t answer that, are you ?
Jon - I am not going to dignify that with a response
Melanie - Anyways, I was just asking because I think the whole situation was really quite well-done
Tim - How morbid
Melanie, a little bit indignant - Oi, Slaughter Avatar, remember ? Anyways, so did they create the Black Death or no ?
Tim, squinting at her - Why are you asking me that ? D’you think I’m a Corruption Avatar or something ?
Melanie, deadpan - Yes
Tim, rolling his eyes - Fuck off
Jon, still not looking up from his book - Will you two pipe down over there ? I just got to a good part !!
Tim - He dies at the end
Jon, finally looking up to glare at him - I know, Timothy. I’m the fucking Eye Avatar, of course I know. But it’s not about the twist. It’s about the plot setups and executions, not -
Tim - The author’s a homophobe
Jon, throwing his book aside - Fuck you
Melanie - Will someone please answer my question ?
Tim - Oh, for the love of - fine !! (pulls out phone) Lemme just phone her real quick. I’m sure she’ll be glad to have her business interrupted by your inane questions !!
Jon- Who’s “her” ?
Melanie - What business ? Worm breeding ?
Jon - Wait, worm-breeding ? Tell me it isn’t-
Melanie, nodding soberly - Prentiss
Jon, indignant - Tim, do you have the fucking zombie on speed-dial ?
Tim, rolling her eyes -She’s a useful associate, alright ?
Jon - She’s a corpse !!
