EPISODE FIVE
INT. MANSION MAIN HALL: HALLWAY BATHROOM - NIGHT
* As TemperaryUserName arrives quickly at the hallway bathroom with his gun drawn, he sees chan_ming trying in vain to revive Bleed whos lying on the floor in blood soaked water.*
TemperaryUserName: [arriving at the doorway] What the fuck?!
chan_ming: [trying to put pressure on Bleeds chest to top the bleeding] Help me! I cant stop it!
*TemperaryUserName puts his gun away and goes in to aid chan_ming. He sloshes through the blood stained water and places his hands on top of chan_mings to add his weight to the effort to keep Bleed from dying.*
TemperaryUserName: [firmly applying pressure to Bleeds chest] What the hell happened to him?!
chan_ming: I came to check on him and found him like this!
TemperaryUserName: Was he shot?!
chan_ming: [looks at TemperaryUserName shakes head] Would have heard a shot!
TemperaryUserName: Shit! Move your hands away! I have to pump his chest!
*As chan_ming removes her hands from Bleeds chest and steps back, TemperaryUserName vigorously pumps his chest to get him breathing again. She then goes to turn the water off. axeman61 and Grizzle arrive at the door and take in the scene.*
Grizzle: Good lord!
axeman61: Shit man! Is the guy breathin?!
chan_ming: No!
TemperaryUserName: [pumping bleeds chest] Fuck! Im trying to stop this poor bastard from walking towards the light!
Grizzle: The poor fellow.
chan_ming: [to axeman61] Where the fuck were you?!
axeman61: Making myself a drink after I finished in the kitchen.
chan_ming: [to axeman61] Getting something to eat and making a drink took you that godamn long?
axeman61: The fuck does that mean?!
Blade-Tsung: [arriving at the door] OH MY GOD!
TemperaryUserName: [pumping bleeds chest and looking up at chan_ming] FUCK! This aint working!
chan_ming: [to Blade-Tsung] And what happened to you?!
Blade-Tsung: [shocked] I... I just told him...
Grizzle: We found him in the kitchen washing a knife off.
TemperaryUserName: DAMN IT!
*TemperaryUserName sees that his effort are futile for Bleed is gone and stops. On his knees, he sits there silent and tired from the effort as chan_ming stands next to him tired herself. A silence is present as they look at a dead Bleed lying on the floor of the bathroom. TemperaryUserName looks at chan_,ing and makes a subtle head gesture at Grizzle, Blade-Tsung and axeman61. Chan-Ming picking up on this que walks over to the door after stepping over Bleeds body and begins to close the door.*
Blade-Tsung: What happened to him?!
chan_ming: [slowly closing the door] Just... stay right by this door you three!
axeman61: Wait a second! Arent you going to...
chan_ming: [in a firm calm tone] Hey! Shut up and stay right here! We need to talk.
*After chan_ming closes the door, moments of silence greet the bathroom as she and TemperaryUserName are left to make sense of this event as they are both fatigued from trying to save Bleed from death. They then begin to speak in whispers not to let axeman61, Grizzle and Blade-Tsung hear them from outside.*
TemperaryUserName: [fatigued] Okay chan_ming. [pauses] What went down after you left the living room?
chan_ming: I got to the door and asked him if he was alright. I bang on the door. It opens. [pauses] I see him lying there and I try to help him.
TemperaryUserName: You didnt hear anything? Not a peep or a scream? Not even him saying, Fuck this. Goodbye cruel world?
chan_ming: [shaking her head] Nothing. [pauses for a moment] You know, when he wasnt with us, neither were the two out there.
TemperaryUserName: [looks at chan_ming for a few seconds and then looks at Bleed] Me and the other guy went to find the chef and the pro wrestler. We found the chef in the kitchen. The other guy had come in from the study after helping himself to the liquor. We heard you and came runnin.
chan_ming: Look at the wound.
TemperaryUserName: [looks down at Bleeds wound] Maybe the muzzle of a gun pressed to his chest? Might be why you didnt hear a gunshot.
chan_ming: Even if it was a gun, this is a pretty small room. The fan wasnt on when I came in.
TemperaryUserName: [thinks carefully for several seconds as he looks up at the fan in the ceiling, then back at Bleeds body] If hed been shot even from that close a range, thered still be able to smell gunpowder in the air.
chan_ming: [slowly nods] Youre cooking with gas now.
TemperaryUserName: Well, that narrows it down to either an alien bursting out from his chest, which means we all are in some serious shit. Or...
chan_ming: Or he was stabbed by something.
TemperaryUserName: Yeah. Well... Im glad thats not a chest bursting alien were talkin about then. That movie scared the shit out me when I saw it and I dont think Id have the grapefruits to go up against one if I saw one.
chan_ming: [whispers almost inaudibly under her breath as she briefly turns her head] Pussy.
TemperaryUserName: [not clearly hearing what she chan_ming said] Huh?
chan_ming: [turns her attention back to TemperaryUserName] I said lovely.
TemperaryUserName: Oh. Yeah.
chan_ming: Well, it had to have been real sharp. He lost so much blood.
*TemperaryUserName pauses for a second as he looks off into space thinking about what she just said. He then comes to his senses and looks at chan_ming.
chan_ming: What is it?
TemperaryUserName: When we got to the kitchen, we noticed the chef washin off a knife in the sink. He said he had used it the carve the turkey for dinner and was washing it off.
chan_ming: [pauses] You believe him?
TemperaryUserName: Well fuck. I did then. But... [pauses]
chan_ming: What?
TemperaryUserName: [gets up off his knees and turns toward her] I only found him finishing washing it off.
chan_ming: Washing the blood off you think?
TemperaryUserName: [looks sharply at the door] Hmmmm.
chan_ming: Why would he kill him?
TemperaryUserName: I dunno. A lot about tonight has made sense.
chan_ming: Well shit. What do you think we should do now?
TemperaryUserName: Fuck if I know. But I do know that we dont know why we all got invited here.
chan_ming: You think he did it?
TemperaryUserName: Well... I dont see any way of figuring that out without knowing why were here.
chan_ming: [nods] So how do you want to play it? We go back into the library pissed off, put a gun to LadyRaidens head and make her spill the plan TBP had in store for us and risk her pissing on herself in fear?
TemperaryUserName: [pauses and looks at Bleeds body] Shiiiit. Two bodies in less than an hour and not having a clue to what the fuck is going on hasnt pissed you off yet?
chan_ming: Yeah, it kinda has actually.
TemperaryUserName: Well... youre plans so genius, its Einstein.
chan_ming: Thanks. So... you wanna put your gun to her head or do you thin it needs a womans touch?
TemperaryUserName: [smirks briefly at her joke] Its your plan.
chan_ming: What about the chef?
TemperaryUserName: [walks over to the door] I have an idea about how to deal with this. Just follow my lead when I do my thing.
chan_ming: Your thing? And what would that be?
TemperaryUserName: Well... have you ever seen a comet?
chan_ming: No.
TemperaryUserName: But youd know if it was a comet if you were to see one, right?
chan_ming: [confused] Huh?
TemperaryUserName: I mean you know that it travels through space, has a tail and has the potential to fuck up a certain human inhabiting planet if it were ever to hit it causing all kinds of cataclysmic, Book of Revelations, end of the world shit to happen, right?
chan_ming: Yeah, yeah of course. I watch the Discovery Channel.
TemperaryUserName: [opens the door] Well good. Then watch for the comet baby! Watch for the comet.
chan_ming: [silently under her breath] My name aint baby, asshole.
*As chan_ming and TemperaryUserName come out of the bathroom and close the door behind them, they leave Bleed lying dead on the floor inside. They encounter a anxious trio standing, waiting for the two to say something about what they think happened.*
Blade-Tsung: Well?! What about...
TemperaryUserName: The chef?
Blade-Tsung: Yes! Bleed!
TemperaryUserName: Well... I can tell you this; hes laying down on the tiled bathroom floor and Ill be honest. [looks at the bathroom door and then back at Blade-Tsung] Hes all kinds of fucked up. [slaps Blade-Tsung on the shoulder] Fell better now that you know?
Blade-Tsung: [stands frozen and shocked]... Jesus!
TemperaryUserName: Yeah, he could have used his help a few minutes ago... right pal?
Blade-Tsung: [confused] I... huh?
TemperaryUserName: Cmon. Lets go back in the living room people.
Grizzle: Now wait a minute! Dont you think you should do something for that poor man in there?
chan_ming: Like what? Tape his favorite Tuesday night shows? Sir, I dont think hell get a chance to watch them. Now lets go back in there and well figure this out.
axeman61: What the hell are you two talking about? Theres two dead people in this house and you two aint going to do anything about it? Do you know what happened to him and simply are not telling us?
chan_ming: Not only not telling you, but also not going to till shit gets straightened out. No were going back in there to sort everything out first. Okay.
axeman61: [walks over to chan_ming in a show of intimidation] Look, you may be a cop and all, but theres shit that you and him better get a hold of before you start orderin people around. You get what Im saying?
chan_ming: Is this you being blunt with me?
axeman61: Its me telling you how it is!
chan_ming: Well I have a nifty little badge that gives me the authority to order people around. OH! And what do I have here? [looks at her holstered gun] Why... it looks like... a 9mm Glock-Police issue pistol! Well isnt that interesting?! I suppose if my badge allows me to order people around, then this gun allows me to knee cap silly sons of bitches as well. Now what do you think about that sir?
TemperaryUserName: Hey Terminator. We are going back in there. You got me?
*They leave the hallway and enter the living room where the rest of the guest have been waiting for them to return.*
Shyriu: Hey! What took you guys so long?
TemperaryUserName: I thought I saw an image of Evlis in the a slice of turkey, so I had to think of a way to sell it on eBay. No one left since we left right?
takermk: Thats right. Weve been waiting here for you guys to get back.
chan_ming: Good. Now we can find out why were all here. Right, LadyRaiden?!
LadyRaiden: Im not sure it matters anymore.
chan_ming: Now what the hell is that supposed to mean?
LadyRaiden: Hes.... hes dead now. Theres no need for this to come out.
chan_ming: Really?! Well tell the housekeeper that when you see his ghost haunting the bathroom!
NovaStarr: What?!
Grizzle: [somberly to NovaStarr] Im sorry. Hes... dead my dear.
NovaStarr: ...
LadyRaiden: What are you talking about?
chan_ming: [angry] Im talking about him being dead! Im talking about someone killing him while he was in the bathroom!
takermk: [shocked] Youre kidding!
thetruth4: Oh my God!
takermk: Now wait a minute. This is fucking insane! We all were here when he wasnt.
TemperaryUserName: Not all of us.
Shyriu: Wait, hes right! Those ... [looks at both axeman61 and Blade-Tsung] those two werent in here with us.
*The room turn their attention towards both axeman61 and Blade-Tsung as chan_ming stays focused on LadyRaiden.*
chan_ming: Before we get to that, shes going to tell us why TPB invited us all here.
LadyRaiden: What? Im not going to say another word.
chan_ming: Oh yes you are and if you dont want to be arrested when the police gets here after the storm lets up, you better say something to us.
LadyRaiden: [yelling] TPB and now Bleed are dead! Everything that he wanted to say to you has no more purpose now. I fell no obligation to say anything, let alone to a little bitch who thinks she can...
chan_ming: [angry] Excuse me!
TemperaryUserName: [to LadyRaiden] Now I dont know if you should have said that lady. She has a gun you know.
chan_ming: Youre going to tell us everything right now damn it!
thetruth4: We should know why were here!
LadyRaiden: Im not saying anything! So if anyone has a problem with that, then thats too bad! [to chan_ming] And you my dear can kiss my ass!
*chan_ming grabs LadyRaidens arm firmly grabs the back of her head and forces LadyRaiden to the floor face first. She then reaches under her denim coat and finds her handcuffs and while twisting her arm even further behind her back, chan_ming begins to put the cuffs on LadyRaiden as the room watches in shock as she screams out in pain dude to the forceful abuse.*
LadyRaiden: [screaming in pain] OWWWWW! DAMN IT! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!
TemperaryUserName: Okay... shes also got a pair of cuffs too.
chan_ming: [tightens the cuffs] Im sorry if you feel uncomfortable! Really I am!
TemperaryUserName: [smirks] Was that sarcasm detective?
takermk: Cmon now! Was that really necessary?!
NovaStarr: Thats not necessary!
chan_ming: Shes going to tell us why TPB invited us here and since I really do not like her, Im not going to ask her politely! [to LadyRadien as she wrenches hard on her arm] Now talk!
NovaStarr: Please stop!
LadyRaiden: [in pain] Let me GO damn you!
thetruth4: Please. Just tell us and shell let you up.
chan_ming: Huh! Maybe!
NovaStarr: Damn it LadyRaiden just tell them!
LadyRaiden: [in pain] No I.... [screams as chan_ming tightens the cuffs aginan]
TemperaryUserName: Say something will you?
NovaStarr: Damn it LadyRadiden! [pauses] He wanted you all here...
LadyRaiden: Dont Nova...
NovaStarr: [yells] He was going to blackmail everyone! Thats why you all were invited here!
TemperaryUserName: What?
NovaStarr: [pauses] He... he was going to threaten all of you with secrets that you never thought anyone else knew, but he did! Thats what he wanted to say to all of you tonight!
