Pillars- Oleg Schupliak; 2018

[clownsuu]

I have been having a strong urge to make another puppet oc, so alas, take this pain iv made-

When I mean pain, I literally mean it- JDHHFHDH I got so stressed out trying to color him that my adrenaline spiked and now I’m trying to relax LMAOOOO

but anyway, here’s Robbie (not to be confused with Robert), a Howdy family member oc, cause who am I as a howdy supremacy supporter if I didn’t have SOMEBODY related to him smhh. He’s kinda an smartass/asshole (being a 3 horned rhinoceros beetle) but when ya get to know the bastard he’s a nerdy lil goof who’ll never shut up about literally anything he’s done. How many crimes has he committed? He lost count smh.

he’s a little bit more of a serious character-? But he’s kinda still in the same playing field as Dr.Stone is where they are a “guest character”. Also unlike Dr.Stone who has a set occupation, Robbie hops from job to job, one day he’s working at your local seven eleven, the other day he’s a astronaut going to space (don’t ask how he the hell he even got in- he’s too crafty for his own good-)

Secondly, here it is!

Ignoring a brother is bad luck. Treating someone as if they were already marching ahead shows the little gods who to guide.

ngl I do think my biggest gripe with myths of the realm in a narrative sense is having it be so late in 14’s life means you end up with a lot of unanswered questions that are just a result of how the content wasn’t created until later

Thena watches her gladiators while they train. And she certainly enjoys watching her champion while he trains 👀

Ajak smiled to one of their many advisors before they bounded off. She turned to Thena beside her, "do you remember a single word they said?"

"Do you?"

"Thena," Ajak frowned, although her daughter was not nearly as chastised by her tone as she might have liked. Thena turned her head faintly, looking out into the courtyard as they walked. "You cannot avoid them forever."

"Forgive me, Mother," Thena smiled tightly. Usually, she did her best to avoid royal duties all together. But she had made her mother the promise that, if she were allowed to stay by Gilgamesh's side while he recovered, that she would never deny her mother again.

A promise she still did not regret making, no matter how many meetings and banquets and diplomatic invitations she had to endure. Gilgamesh was alive and well, and she had kept her promise to her mother since.

"Speak of the devil."

Gilgamesh, former Champion and now Captain of the Guard, was training the new recruits. Newer, younger gladiators who would need to know how to handle themselves in the ring in the name of Queen and Country.

"He is a fine teacher."

Ajak eyed Thena beside her, not that her daughter was paying attention to anything but the man directing their new gladiators. She cleared her throat, "there are questions, my dear--about your marriage?"

"What about it?" Thena mumbled, head practically craned so she could watch Gilgamesh as he gave a lesson on wrestling, seeming about momentum and using an opponent's size against them.

Ajak huffed; Thena had developed somewhat of an impertinence about her since the Eros debacle. Ajak halted her steps, since Thena had come to such a natural halt herself. She tugged at Thena's dress, "about it happening, dearest. You are expected to choose someone now that you have all the power in the world to do so."

Thena continued to ignore her.

Ajak had been trying to get her daughter to consider marriage for years already. She was more than of-age, but the Queen also had vowed to never force Thena into something she truly did not want. And marriage seemed to be at the very top of that list. They were lucky she took the throne and had Thena when she was as young as she was. She had half expected to hand over the throne by now.

Thena tilted her head, admiring the Captain as he...worked.

Ajak sighed, shaking her head faintly. It was so plain to see, and yet Thena had not even mentioned a fondness for the Champion who fought for the freedom of her hand rather than the possession of it. Even Ajak could recognise the romance of such an action.

"You could choose him, if you wish."

Thena finally looked at her, torn from her revelry of watching a bunch of men - one man, rather - horse around. "Hm?"

Driven to distraction; Ajak nodded her head towards Gilgamesh, "I am sure he would find it most agreeable."

"H-" Thena blinked, her head moving between her mother and their chosen and promoted Captain of the gladiatorial forces. It happened a few more times, just for good measure, "G-Gilgamesh?"

Ajak laughed faintly, patting Thena's arm; she wasn't sure when her daughter had become so much taller than she. "Have you not even considered it, dear?"

Thena looked back at the Champion himself, who had his head thrown back in laughter with his troops. Her hands wrung in front of her, "I...I suppose not."

Horseshit. But Ajak held her tongue and tried a more gentle approach with her remarkably stubborn child-turned-grown-woman. "I would approve greatly. Not that I think that matters to you at all."

"Mother," Thena furrowed her brows at her as she patted her hands into submission. "Of course that would matter to me."

"Well," Ajak turned her eyes back to the Captain, who caught her eye this time. She offered a smile.

"Hup!"

Gilgamesh stood upright and dipped to bow to their queen and princess, the rest of his troops following suit.

Ajak moved into the sun of the courtyard, still holding Thena's hands and incidentally dragging her along. "Your training seems to be going well, Captain."

"Yes ma'am," Gil responded with a happy smile, despite speaking with the revered Queen Ajak herself. He looked at the recruits behind him, crossing his arms, "they have a ways to go, but I believe they will fight well for you."

"And you?" Thena asked eagerly, nearly cutting off the end of his words with her own, "are you healing well?"

Ajak nearly rolled her eyes; she had healed him herself, and it was weeks since he was able to leave a bed.

"I am," he smiled at her gently, though, his voice going as soft as a lily petal. "Thanks to you and your mother, my Lady."

Thena smiled.

Ajak took in a breath. This required more direct action, and for once, it seemed Thena was not in any mood for directness. She drew her shoulders up faintly and turned to her daughter, "Thena, I have another diplomatic meeting."

"Oh, yes," she agreed, per her promise. But her disappointment rang out from her like a gong. "We shall-"

"You can skip this one, dear," Ajak uttered quickly. This would need to happen fast. "It shall be brief, and nothing but politics. Perhaps the Captain would escort you inside for me?"

Gil startled but straightened his shoulders, "o-of course, my Lady!"

"Very well, then!" Ajak smiled at them before all but dropping Thena's hands from her arm and dashing away. She spared them a wave as she picked up the billowing white of her skirts to move as swiftly as possible. "You have my full faith, Captain."

Thena frowned at the odd statement from her mother, following her even more odd behaviour. "It is a walk; I would not think it required any strength of faith."

Gilgamesh shrugged, though, holding out his arm, bent at the elbow. "Still, it is escorting the royal princess. I'm honoured."

Thena smiled, indulging him as she settled her fingers delicately in the crook of his elbow. "Very well, then, Captain."

"Uh," a young voice cracked, "sir?"

Gil eyed his young bucks over his shoulder, "you can conduct yourself in my absence, right? I have important business with the Princess."

"Yes, sir!"

"Important business?" Thena murmured to him as they took their leave back into the shade.

He bent his head closer to her too, like children snickering about their teacher, "breaks are very important, my Lady."

The two laughed between themselves as he guided her back inside and out of the harsh daylight. Thena cleared her throat, moving her hand further from his bicep and more to his forearm. "How are you finding your new position, Gilgamesh?"

"The promotion was kind, my Lady," he smiled at her as they strolled at a leisurely pace through the open and breeze halls of the palace. "I've never been so rested."

"But do you like it?" Thena clarified, her eyes imploring the truth out of him. "Training the recruits?"

He chuckled, smiling at her more gently (if at all possible). "I love it, Thena. And I know it's because I needed time to heal after my fight."

It was a consideration most were not afforded, given the nature of their profession.

Thena sighed, eyeing his chest place in memory of the scars still there, "you should not have to fight after what you endured."

Gilgamesh shrugged, though, back to smiling blithely. "Part of the job, my Lady."

"Gil."

"Thena," he replied, laughing again. He patted the hand of hers on his arm with his other hand. "It was generous of your mother to promote me. I don't take it for granted."

"Yes," Thena agreed, warmth stealing into her cheeks. It was she who had suggested the promotion to get Gil out of the barracks and into a more comfortable position, both in work and life outside of it. "Mother is generous in spirit."

"You've had a lot of meetings since the tournament, huh?" Gil asked, more and more casual and comfortable the longer they walked together.

"Unfortunately," Thena sighed, also losing the polished edges she wore as Princess. She looked at Gil - just Gil - with a smile that was just Thena. "And they are all terribly boring."

Gil let out a laugh that echoed through the palace halls. Thena stared at it openly.

"Our advisors are demanding I select a spouse," she confided in him as they left the more open halls along the palace walls to the interior. "You would think Mother was abdicating tomorrow, based on their urgency."

"I'm sorry, Thena."

She looked at him in shock.

"I didn't mean to put that kind of pressure on you," Gil frowned in the softer light of the room. "It didn't occur to me that being free to choose would-"

"No."

He looked at her in shock this time.

"Don't ever apologise for that," she shook her head at him. "You...you have given me something no money in the world nor the crown itself could give me."

"Without you, I would be under the same expectation to marry, except that they would be chosen for me. If not selected by our advisors, then any challenging prince looking for a prize."

Gil frowned at the mention of Eros, even now that that particular thorn was removed from their sides. He gave her hand a squeeze, "I would never have let that happen, Thena."

She smiled faintly, her head tilting and her hair tumbling off her shoulder, "I know you wouldn't have. It is for that exact reason I will never have enough gratitude to gift you."

"Well, I don't know about that," Gil smiled at her, his lighter mood restored, "the fancy new bed I have in my palace room is pretty nice."

Thena did not manage to catch her laughter before it escaped, "Gil."

"Really, I mean it's nice, and the sheets!" Gil continued until Thena gave his arm a light shove with the back of her hand. It seemed to possess no force at all, and yet he looked at her as if it would rouse him from sleep. "Really, Thena, you've done more than enough. I'm the one who should be thanking you."

Thena just sighed as he brought her hand off his arm and up to his lips in a kiss. It was more gentle and reverent than any from a suitor could hope to achieve.

Ajak watched from behind one of many pillars offering her cover as she spied on the Gladiator who so possessed her daughter's heart.

"My Lady, we really should-"

Ajak shooed away the guard about to blow her cover. She really did have a meeting she had to go to. But this was far more important.

Poppy’s Heal to Help Chapter 4 - Mysterious Masked Magician

[Fade to the secret room of Howdy's Place/Bugdega, Howdy wears black tuxedo, black top hat with blue hat band, red bow tie, yellow gloves on his upper hands, purple gloves on his lower hands, cyan/turquoise shoes, rainbow antennas, and black cape with orange interior. He smiles at the reflection of the mirror.]

Howdy: I'm lookin' good! But something's missing... (Snaps his fingers on his upper hand.) I know! (Takes and puts a magenta mask on his eyes, then takes off top hat as he puts it on hair with green paint as dips and his hair covers his right eye, then puts it back.) Perfect! (Holds up a wand on his upper hand.) I'm the most mysterious and famous magician! I...am... (Echoes in happily; in a middle-high toned voice.) Perry Preston! (Spinning himself to turn a purple cloud flying out of Howdy's Place/Bugdega, then turns into a normal form as covering his cape; in normal voice.) My plan is to take care of Poppy from Wally and Frank while I try to get away from their attention, even Eddie. (Rises up the wand to start loads of magic.) Presto!

[Howdy blasts himself to disappear. Cut to woods in the night as Eight Neighbors walking on the path as led by Wally and Frank while Barnaby, Julie, Poppy, Sally, and Eddie follow them as Eddie looks at Wally and Frank.]

Eddie: Don't worry, guys. We'll make you remember what happened last night.

Julie: Halt! (She and Six Neighbors stop walking as she points at a silhouette person.) There's a mysterious person!

Mysterious Person: (in male middle-high toned voice) Hello, friends.

Poppy: Oh! (Nervously.) Hello, mister. We need your help! We can't find our friend! His name is Howdy Pillar!

Mysterious Person: Howdy Pillar? Ahh! I know him! Let me introduce myself. My name is... (Hold up the wand to blast himself to disappear which Seven Neighbors surprised and look around.)

Barnaby: Where's he going?!

[Big magic explodes in front of Seven Neighbors screaming in surprise, uncovers the purple cloud as Howdy disguises as Perry Preston, he smiles at Seven Neighbors while he is spinning his wand on his upper hand.]

Howdy: (as Perry Preston) Perry Preston!

Sally: (delightfully while clapping) Wow! Amazing magic trick!

Howdy: (bows as holds his cape) Thank you so much, Miss Starlet!

Sally: He knows my name!

Poppy: Did Howdy tell you about us?

Howdy: Yes, he does, Miss Partridge.

Barnaby: Mr. Preston! Howdy went and lost in the woods!

Howdy: Don't worry, friends. Follow me.

[Howdy/Perry walks and Seven Neighbors follow him while Frank starts to get suspicious and worried about him and Eddie looks at Frank.]

Eddie: Oh no! Not again!

Julie: What's wrong, Eddie?

Eddie: Frank's gonna be suspicious... (Worried.) AGAIN!

Julie: What?

Eddie: He's got suspicious of Dr. Grady, then he's getting suspicious of Perry!

Julie: Like he's suspicious of me while I'm disguised as Wally's old girlfriend.

Eddie: Yeah... This is getting weird and horrified now.

[Fade to later at noon, Howdy/Perry and Seven Neighbors still walking while Frank gets trembling in discomfort, then he twitches his eye while looking Howdy/Perry, then he screams in frustration.]

Frank: (uncomfortably) How long walking to find him?! This is getting longer than last time!

Howdy: We're here! Welcome to Faithful Flower Field!

[Cut to colorful flowers and insects in the field as start with a sign that says "Faithful Flower Field" with rainbow texts which Seven Neighbors look at it in amazement.]

Julie: Look at those flowers!

Frank: And bugs! Especially butterflies! Yes! (Paused to surprise his friends who smile at him, clear his throats.) I mean... (Fake sarcastically.) Yeah... we're here in a wonderful field. (Shows up to be amazed.) Okay, okay, guys! I just love the field with butterflies!

Howdy: (smiles while chuckles) I know you like a field where there are butterflies. (Snickering into laughter.)

Frank: Thanks, Perry. I think Howdy likes this place.

Eddie: Good! Guys! Let's find him!

[Howdy/Perry and Seven Neighbors toward Faithful Flower Field as they search Howdy while Frank looks at a butterfly.]

Frank: What? He's not here? (To Howdy/Perry and Six Neighbors.) Guys! He's not here! But he disappeared here!

Eddie: (shocked along with his friends) What?!

Howdy: I know that was a pretty accident by me!

Frank: What? You did what?!

Howdy: Look, I'm trying to spell Howdy reappear!

Barnaby: You're trying?

Howdy: Yes. He's on my stage. Come on. (Walks off.)

Wally: He has his own stage? On a flower field?

Frank: I think he lives here.

Sally: (amazed) Wow! Look at that!

[Cut to amphitheater with style of nature theme along the seats where Howdy/Perry steps on the stage along a magic set while Seven Neighbors sit on the front row of seats to look at Howdy/Perry.]

Howdy: Thank you for coming in.

Sally: Ohh! Can't wait for more magic tricks!

Howdy: Okay, Miss Starlet! Don't get too much excitement!

Sally: Okay!

Howdy: Now... Let's time to-- (Cut off by Poppy whose shortness of breath while Six Neighbors look at her worried, screams in surprise.) Poppy!

Frank: (To Wally, whispers) She's on Stage 4! (Wally nods.)

[Poppy runs onto the stage towards Howdy/Perry, she holds his coat which he starts feeling scared.]

Howdy: Poppy! What are you doing here on my stage?!

Poppy: (in an eerie voice) I'm so worried about Howdy! Please, Mr. Presto! Please!

Barnaby: (runs toward Poppy to hold her) Poppy! You're making him scared!

Howdy: (nervously) It's okay, Mr. Beagle. (Happily.) Thanks to her! Please is...a magic work! As it's a request!

Poppy: Thank you!

Howdy: You're welcome, Miss Partridge. (To Barnaby.) Mr. Beagle, could you go down the stage, please?

Barnaby: Sure, Perry. (Walks down the stage to sit in the seat next to Wally.) You know, I really worried about her.

Wally: Don't worry. She will wear off in 5 minutes.

Barnaby: Thanks goodness!

[Cut back to Howdy/Perry holds the wand on his upper heads while he looks at Poppy who sighs in relief.]

Howdy: So, it is done?

Poppy: (in a normal voice) Yes, it's done.

Howdy: Good! Now, it's showtime! (Turns on the spotlights as it shines to him and Poppy who starts to scare.) Miss Partridge, don't worry about that with a stage fright.

Poppy: O-okay! I'm trying!

Howdy: Great! First trick is... (Hold up the cards.) Card trick!

[Howdy/Perry doing a card trick while dancing; card flourish as either switching upper and lower hands until upper hands in a 4 times, then riffle shuffle, then overhand shuffle, and then pick-a-card to hold it which Seven Neighbors applaud and cheer.]

Poppy: Amazing!

Howdy: Now, you must pick one card, please? (Poppy picks one card as she sees the card is a Four Hearts Card as he picks it.) Okay then... (He shuffles the cards until he stops to fan out the cards on the table.) You remember when you picked one card, right? (Poppy nods.) What is it?

Poppy: Uh... Four Hearts.

Howdy: Nice! (Look at the cards.) Where is it? Where is it?

[Cut to Eddie eating an apple while Frank looks at Howdy/Perry suspiciously.]

Eddie: Wow! Card trick starts to amaze. And also... (Shouts.) STOP SUSPICIOUS TO HIM!!

Frank: Ouch! You're breaking one of my eardrums!

Howdy: (offscreen) Mr. Dear, please, stop shouting at him right in front.

Eddie: Sorry!

[Cut back to Howdy/Perry and Poppy on the stage to continue searching.]

Poppy: Wow, Perry. Please is a magic work to you.

Howdy: (touch cards in lower right hand) Yes. Yes, it does. (Holding up the card to flip as revealed to Poppy.) Ta-da!

Poppy: Woah!

[Howdy/Perry shows Six Neighbors to hold Four Hearts Card as revealed, they applaud and cheer. He does card tricks while dancing until the card flourishing flies up and then down into his top hat, then holds up his wand to charge into top hat.]

Howdy: Presto! (Blasts to top hat as the butterflies and flowers come out from it.) Ta-da!

Seven Neighbors: Wow! (Cheering and applause even Frank looking at butterflies happily.)

Howdy: Thank you for applauses, everyone! (Puts his top hat on his head with a trick.) Now... are you ready for a special trick?!

Seven Neighbors: Yes!

Howdy: Okay! (Points at the trap door open itself to raise the magician box while wand on the hand moving together to raise the magician box until stop.) Ta-da! (Seven Neighbors applaud.) This box is the cause of Howdy's disappearance.

Seven Neighbors: (surprised) What?!

Howdy: You see... I saw Howdy running in the woods and then a flower field. He hid the box when I didn't know what was wrong with him as I was going to tell him, but then...

Poppy: (nervously) Then what?

Howdy: I saw the bag fall onto the table with knives flying into a box...which Howdy inside it! I tried to save him with my wand. Then I opened the box... He's disappeared!

Seven Neighbors: (gasps in horrified) Oh no!

Julie: That's terrible!

Howdy: I tried to spell him in the box. When you guys are here, I need your help.

Poppy: Help? (Happily.) Yes! Someone needs help!

Howdy: Great! Come on! Let's go to your place! (Lifts the magician box and crack sounds of his back which make Seven Neighbors surprised.) Don't worry about me! Just a little back pain.

[Howdy/Perry and Poppy walk off the stage, then they join Five Neighbors to walk away. Cut to the auditorium of Sally's House, Howdy/Perry puts the magician box on the stage, then he stretches his back and then dust off his hands.]

Howdy: There! (Looks at the window as the sun goes down, in a normal voice as quietly.) Oh no! (In the impressive voice of Perry.) It's almost night, guys!

Sally: (To Frank and Eddie) You heard him, guys? Let's start changing you!

[Seven Neighbors runs off the auditorium while Howdy/Perry in a blank expression for a moment. When footsteps faded out, Howdy removed his disguise to his normal clothes and hair except wearing lab coat, cyan gloves, turquoise windsor glasses, bag, and goggles on his forehead as he opened the magician box.]

Howdy: (in a normal voice) Okay then. (Looks around until notices a mannequin of himself, speaker, duct tape and headphone with microphone. Snaps his fingers as he gets an idea.) I got it! (He heads towards four items and then back to his place, he picks a top hat.) I'm speaking out to act while I'm sneaking in to see. (Holds up the remote while laughing maniacally.)

[Cut to dressing room where Seven Neighbors adjust their outfits and put the makeup on themselves even Frank and Eddie as Frank wears hot pink and red butterfly themed outfit and Eddie wears sky blue and blue art and craft themed outfit while they are feeling sad.]

Wally: Hey, don't worry about him. Perry is gonna make the right spell to bring him back.

Frank: Thanks, Walls. I know you are counting on it.

Sally: Okay, guys! It's done! (Six Neighbors muttering in agreement.) Nice! Let's go to the stage!

[Seven Neighbors run off the dressing room, cut to inside of Poppy's Barn in the dark where Howdy wears goggles as night vision to sneak in as he walks into the closet and then press his headphone to hear Seven Neighbors' voices in through it to listen.]

Howdy: Nice! They're on stage! (Clear throats as speaking to the microphone; in the impressive voice of Perry.) Hello, friends! Thank you for coming in here!

[Cut back to the auditorium of Sally's House, Seven Neighbors look at the magician box as inside of it is a masked magician outfit on a mannequin of Howdy and a speaker on the back of a mannequin with duct tape.]

Howdy: (through the speaker) Reason of why I'm in the box is because I am trying to focus on myself with a spell.

[Cut to green filter view on Seven Neighbors as revealed is view of Howdy in his goggles.]

Barnaby: (onscreen) That's good to know!

[While Howdy speaking, cut back to the inside of Poppy's Barn as the kitchen where Cookie of Poppy on a Silver Serving Tray which Cookie of Poppy starts to glow with green. Cut back to the auditorium of Sally's House, Wally and Frank are surprised with eyes winking in their theme color as they look at Poppy who starts to get nervous.]

Howdy: (through the speaker) Tonight as before the party, I finally made a right spell to bring him back on time!

Wally: Poppy, are you okay?

Poppy: Oh no! I forgot!

[Poppy runs away while Six Neighbors start to be surprised.]

Julie: What's going on?

Wally: Poppy, wait!

[Cut to view of Howdy in goggles when Wally and Frank run to follow Poppy which Barnaby, Julie, Sally and Eddie muttering among themselves in surprise and confusion, cut to Howdy in the closet as he holds up the remote on his lower right hand while he start to be scared.]

Howdy: Wait! If you don't want to see it, you'll be-- (Cut off as surprised by the sound of the door and then footsteps as he covers the microphone in his upper left hand, in a normal voice as whispers.) Oh no! They're coming in!

Eddie: (in Howdy's headphone) Perry? Perry! What's happening! I'm coming to you! (Sounds of footsteps get louder when he gets closer while Howdy grows whimper to loud.) Say something!

Howdy: (whispers) I'm so sorry, Eddie!

[Howdy presses a big red button on the remote in his lower right hand. Cut to the auditorium of Sally's House where the magician box explodes inside with purple gas coming out as surrounding at the auditorium which Barnaby, Julie, Sally and Eddie cough and try to cover their mouth. Cut to the view of Howdy in goggles, Barnaby, Julie, Sally and Eddie started to dizzy and then passed out as unconscious. Cut to Howdy who starts to feel guilty as a remote and headphones are put into his bag.]

Howdy: (whispers as tears come out) I'm so sorry... But you will forget it. (Wipes his tears with his lower right arm, then sighs and presses the goggles.) There. It's in night vision.

[Meanwhile to the kitchen of Poppy's Barn where Poppy looks at Cookie of Poppy on a Silver Serving Tray in worry as Cookie of Poppy in glowing green gets brighter while Wally and Frank run to her and Howdy sneak out of the closet and behind the piles of boxes to peek at them.]

Poppy: Guys! We've got a problem!

Wally: We've heard the explosion from Sally's House!

Poppy: I know! But this! (Points at Cookie of Poppy.) I'm getting so worried about-- (Start crying as anxiety; in an eerie voice) HOWDY!!

[Poppy's eyes turn into red eyes and black sclera as glowing brighter while Howdy starts to run out Poppy's Barn as looking through the window, Wally and Frank stay back and start to smile as their eyes turn into glowing red which Poppy screams.]

Wally and Frank: (in an eerie voice) Welcome to The Watchers, Poppy!

Poppy: (shocked) WHAT?! (Clouds move away to reveal the full moon shining through the window on him which starts screaming as falls down.) What's you mean...?

[Howdy gasps in horror and runs away while Poppy glowing green himself which starts to transform while Wally and Frank transform into The Watchers. Cut to Howdy running into Howdy's Place/Bugdega in the dark, then going up the floor on the stairs to his bedroom as he locked the door and windows, blocked the door with drawers and bed and covered the windows with blinds. He's breathing heavily and wipes his sweat as walk away from the door.]

Howdy: I'm so scared of that! Likes an incident in the dark! (Three unknown people with glowing red eyes behind him slowly walk away while he speaks.) I'm so guilty about that! Like I did it to my friends...

Wally: (offscreen) You really think you did to them?

Howdy: Huh?! (Turns to Wally and Frank in The Watcher Forms as they glow to their clothes, eyes, and dips of hair in the dark, he screams.) Wally?! Frank?! How did you know I was h-- (Realized as snaps his fingers.) Oh, right! (Facepalms in upper right hand.) Chrono Vision!

Frank: Now, you know as you're figured that out!

Howdy: (walks away from Wally and Frank as they walk to him) Look! I'm trying to keep away from you and never concentrate on you two and Eddie! (Bump into someone behind him and start to shock.) Oh no! Poppy! (Start to run but Wally and Frank holding him as Wally hold lower arms and Frank hold upper arms which he starts to struggle.) Let me go!

Frank: Poppy! Now it's chance!

[Poppy plugs Howdy's neck with green liquid on a syringe which makes him scream, then pulls it out as Howdy starts dizzy.]

Howdy: (dizzying) Guys... What did you do to me? (Passed out as unconscious.)

Wally: Okay, he's passed out. Let's go to Home.

[Cut to inside of Home in the dark where Wally, Frank, and Poppy in silhouette with glowing to their clothes, eyes, and dips of hair even Poppy as her theme color is green while they're holding Howdy as walking to bedroom where Barnaby, Julie, Sally and Eddie laying on the floor with bed sheet, they put him on the bed as Frank takes goggles from Howdy.]

Frank: His goggles have a night vision, which means he's never afraid of the dark while he's alone.

Home: I see... Howdy has... afraid of the dark, known as Nyctophobia.

Frank: Yes. Caused by an incident when he was a child.

Home: Wow... That's horrifying to him. But don't worry, he'll wake up to heal him as you help him.

Poppy: Thank you, Home.

[Wally, Frank, and Poppy walk off the bedroom as light shines on them, even Poppy to reveal her The Watcher Form is a rainbow beak and tongue, wearing black modern cooking/nurse outfit with rainbow scarf, and green gloves and shoes. They're all walking to the kitchen as Frank holds up Howdy's bag and puts it on the hook, then Wally holds his paintbrush to paint Howdy's bag as it camouflages to match color on the walls.]

Wally: There! He'll never find it! For a while...

[Wally, Frank, and Poppy laughing, cut to Howdy start to despair in sleep as tears come out while laughing echo in the background. Fade out as a pitched black screen.]
