HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT
POST PRE PRELIMINARY #108 (Part 1/2)
Tumblr media
Submissions 214
I love Taylor Swift’s music AND I hate her as a person and think she’s been a racist asshole since like 2009.
Her songs are bops. And also she literally took a picture with a guy wearing a giant ass swastika. Refused to EVER denounce her fans who call her their “aryan princess” because that would cost her ticket sales. I could go on and on and on. She’s a terrible person. But I do love the music.
Pre-preliminaries will be used to determine what qualifies as a hot take. Propaganda is encouraged!
Also, remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure!

Happy Inu-Spiration 4! This year, I got to work with @eliza-faust-diary and let me tell you something, this woman is amazing! She created this piece of work that was absolutely perfect and was better than anything I could have ever expected. 💕 Now, without further ado, enjoy this piece of work we created together. Happy 2023!
Love, Death, and Chocolate Cake
Summary: After the unexpected death of the sister, Kagome must navigate a restaurant, grief and a new person in her life.
“Order’s up!”
“I need a hot fudge sundae for table 23!”
Ring, ring, ring.
“Can I get birthday singers?”
“Anyone seen Adam? His table needs him.”
“Hello, thank you for calling Italiano, how may I help you?”
Buzz, print. Buzz, print.
“Shippo! Table 5 is sat with four.”
Kagome ripped the ticket off the printer, her focus solely on the expo line in front of her. It was Friday night, the dinner service was just getting started, and her reservation list was full for the entire evening. Of course, this was the one night Kikyo had to take off. Shaking her head, she grabbed the parsley, plucking the perfect length to lay across the chicken parmesan.

Yandere!Melina Vostokoff x Fem!Reader Headcanons
Tumblr media
(For @mommymilks - Happy Birthday, boo!)
SFW
No surprise here, but Melina would absolutely use her tech to keep tabs on you at all times. She'd always know where you are, who you're with, and everything about anyone you know.
She'd love to call you little pet names - my love, my darling, my pet, etc. But she would always preface it with, "my."
If someone gets too close or threatens to keep you from her, Melina wouldn't be above using the mind control substance to keep them in line. If they continue, she has a lot of tools at her disposal to get rid of them.
She's also not above using it on you, if need be. She'd struggle with it for a while, but she'd rationalize her decision by reminding herself that she's doing it to keep you safe. To keep you hers.
NSFW
Melina would show her obsession with you through body worship. She'd touch and kiss every part of you, reminding you of how beautiful you are.
She'd be into edging you a lot. She'd want to prolong the experience as long as possible; the two of you alone together, you calling out her name. Absolute bliss.
Melina would also enjoy orgasm denial. Not only would it tie into edging, it'd give her a reason to praise you - calling you her good girl when she finally lets you finish. "Come for me, my darling."
She can be a mild exhibitionist - depending on where you are/where you're going. She'd love to use a remote controlled vibrator on you in public on occasion. Just knowing that she can get you off while others are around, wishing they could even touch you, would bring her great pleasure. Plus, you'd look so cute trying to hide what's happening.

My #1 post of 2022
Imagine...
Reuniting with your childhood sweetheart, Willy Wonka, during the factory tour.
Tumblr media
(For @groovy-lady)
"Y/N, you simply won't believe the news!" Your friend, Mrs, Bucket, chirped excitedly as the two of you met up to run errands together. The two of you had worked together previously, and she became a good friend to you despite the infrequency of your contact.
"What is it, Hellen?"
"Charlie's found it - the last golden ticket! Isn't it exciting?" She was more animated than you'd seen her in a long time, and she continued quickly. "I was thinking - and forgive me if this is too bold, but, I was thinking... perhaps you could take him for the tour?" And then you saw it - the mischievous glint in her eye.
Hellen knew a secret that you'd told few others - you'd known Willy Wonka when the two of you were children, and had been an item for much of your youth.
"I understand if you can't, or don't want to. I just thought... Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's silly." You told her you would think about it, and she didn't mention it again as you went onto your errands.
After that, it seemed as if you somehow saw more of his name everywhere you went; advertisement and news articles. Of course it was the fervor around the contest, but nonetheless you couldn't escape the ghost of your past. It was a pleasant ghost, at least.
There was a form to send in before the tour, giving the names of the chaperones. You'd kept it visible, and quickly penned your name down before the deadline.
It all happened so fast - Hellen asked, you agreed, and in the blink of an eye you were standing at the gates with Charlie by your side. And then the moments dragged until Wonka himself finally emerged. He looked very different, of course, but yet somehow still the same. The other guardians were quick to rush up to introduce themselves and their children, but he hurried through them until he got to you.
"And Y/N. I was looking forward to seeing you most of all. You do remember me, don't you?"
The candy maker lit up when you told him that you did remember him, grinning wide and looking much like the boy you'd known long ago.
"I named one of my chocolates after you, you know. And I'll tell you a secret - it's my most favorite creation." He paused only a moment before continuing, "come, I've got such marvelous things to show you."
He held out his arm for you to take, paying no mind to the other chaperones as he lead the group inside.

Angie’s Confessions at Timothy Lock’s G-Spot Transcript [Part 1] (2006)
(originally transcribed by me in 2006 and posted on an old LJ community. These are the same transcriptions from that time and I can no longer verify how accurate it may be Wayback link to the episode summary, mp3 link does not work; if anyone still has these audio files/knows how to access them, let me know.)
Timothy: On the phone with me right now from sunny Tucson, Arizona is the fabulous Angie Bowie. Angie how are you today?
Angie:I’m fine Timothy how are you? Hi everyone who’s listening.
Timothy: Do you know what, I am melting. London is in the middle of a heat wave right now.
Angie: Well I am very, very sympathetic. We’re in the middle of Monsoon Madness two thousand and six it’s 105, 108.
Timothy: Oh my God
Angie: Tucson is usually ten degrees cooler than Phoenix, so for it to be this hot you can imagine in Phoenix they’re seeing 114, 118 temperatures. Now what is the temperature in London
Timothy: It’s um, Celsius it’s about 35 today, which I think is the high eighties
Angie: Yeah well for London with all that concrete that’s high
Timothy: D’ you know what, they, they had a wonderful picture in this newspaper the other day. You know the whole quote of you ‘oh you can fry an egg on the sidewalk?’
Angie: Uh-huh
Timothy: Well they actually fried an egg on the top of a black cab
Angie: Oh yeah I saw that picture!
Timothy: Isn’t that great?
Angie: Yes and that demonstrates that it is darned hot.
Timothy: Oh definitely
Angie: Yeah. I’m listening to your accent. Tell me where you’re from.
Timothy: I’m from Toronto originally.
Angie: Ahh! And where are you living now?
Timothy: I am living in London, and I’ve lived here for the past nine years.
Angie: I thought so when I was listening! You know my mother was Canadian, and my father grew up Canada, in British Columbia. I’m sure you wouldn’t know that, but I did and so I was listening to your voice. How nice! And so you’ve lived in London what, nine or ten years now?
Timothy: Nine years now yeah
Angie: Oh, and are you enjoying it? Of course, or you wouldn’t be here.
Timothy: Angie, I love it. It’s my favorite city on the planet. I’ve lived in New York, Calgary, Toronto, Orlando and London I love, I will never move.
Angie: Good! Good for you. Well I couldn’t agree with you more. Of course it’s a little-when I went there on those last two trips, you know it was so bizarre because of the CCTV.
Timothy: Oh I know
Angie: And I, you know one of the taxi drivers was so cute, I said to him, I said ‘and I guess you can’t go down there, he said ‘no,’ he said ‘the ticket would be in two weeks in my mail box’
Timothy: [laughs]
Angie: And we both started laughing, he said ‘yeah, you can’t even get in trouble if you want to now’
Timothy: Do you know what, here in London one of the big television shows is Big Brother. I don’t know if it’s big in the States at all?
Angie: I’m not sure, but I think when I was in England I saw it advertised and I didn’t get to what it, I was-that’s when I was on call for Patrick.
Timothy: Patrick Lily sends his love by the way
Angie: Oh good! And please give him a big, big hug for me
Timothy: I definitely will. And the thing about Big Brother is I say it’s being famous for being on CCTV.
Angie: Yeah.
Timothy: And I thought you know if that’s the case, you know, then I should be famous for urinating behind every dumpster in London when I’m drunk.
Angie: [laughs]
Timothy: Now when I was thinking about talking with Angie Bowie, I thought you know, you’re someone I can’t really label under one banner. And the obvious thing would be to, you know, focus on your opinions of your ex husband David Bowie, but that’s been done to death Angie. You’ve also detailed it in your best selling autobiography Backstage Passes: Life On The Wild Side with David Bowie. I’m not going to draw you into a discussion about David Bowie because that’s unfair and you’re my guest and I want you to feel welcome.
Angie: Oh you’re very sweet Timothy, I appreciate it, and it’s not because of anything bizarre. It’s not like, you know, a publicist say, saying ‘oh and she won’t talk about that’, it’s not that. I haven’t seen him for twenty five or thirty years. So talking about him, talking about him in the context of the seventies-
Timothy: Yeah
Angie: -as my artist, the artist I was promoting and the person I was managing, no problem. But you know, they, people have recently been asking me-they, they sprung an interview in the Evening Standard on me.
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: Very huge interview. And the gal was very sweet. Unfortunately when I first heard her name, I-I had to do a double take because I wanted to make sure that I addressed her correctly during the interview.
Timothy: What was her name?
Angie: Emine. And it’s a strange name, you know what I mean
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: So I was already, you know, and the next question she asked me was ‘ what do you think of David Bowie?’ And I said [stammers a bit] ‘He’s a jackass!’ What do you mean what do I think of David Bowie? You know, I haven’t seen him for twenty seven, thirty years, why would I have an opinion on him?
Timothy: Yeah, exactly.
Angie:So um, then of course that became the most quoted thing, you know, coming to the States newspapers. And that’s okay, I don’t mind a bit ‘cause it’s exactly how I feel but it’s boring! I don’t wanna promote him anymore, I’m not being paid for it. I just don’t have time for this now
Timothy:It’s like someone asking me ‘what did you feel like when you went to see Star Wars in the cinema?’ I’ll be like ‘I was seven years old, I have no idea’
Angie:Yeah really and why should I promote them now?
Timothy:Yeah exactly
Angie: They’re part of the culture, you know, ask someone who wrote it, go talk to, you know Lucas
Timothy: Yeah, ask someone who’s actually getting royalties from it
Angie: Yes, exactly. Well that’s the whole thing Timothy: And I know it’s hard to start a discussion with you at one point, but let’s start in America in the 1960’s when you were attending Connecticut College for Women.
Angie: Well I, yeah, uh. I took my A levels when I was fifteen.
Timothy: Mm-hm
Angie: And I wanted to take a year off and my father wouldn’t hear of it. So I couldn’t go to college in England, they wouldn’t let me go, they said ‘sure, come back when you’re eighteen’. But my father said ‘oh well in that case you can go to college in the United States’. So I’m, you know, filled out application forms and I was accepted at Connecticut College for Women. I hated it. It was the most horrible place. I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t understand the girls, I didn’t understand the way they taught. They had these huge classes. I’d never been in a huge class in my life, the biggest I’d ever been in was thirty-two people. I’d never taken a class in an auditorium. And I had performed at the [unintelligible], Expo in 1964 and done the play [unintelligible], for five days, I had done a lot of sophisticated things. But what I had not done was be treated like a, um, a unit to be educated.
Timothy: Right
Angie: And uh, I was appalled. So I fell in love with this girl, and um, because I had done a deal with my father that I wouldn’t get pregnant or embarrass him or sleep with men. Leaving myself the out, I kept thinking to myself ‘well that way I can always sleep with girls, I won’t get pregnant, right?’
Timothy: Well there ya go.
Angie: Well ya gotta make due with what ya got, right? So that was fine, but then I got asked to leave. She got put in the infirmary, I went to visit her there, they tried to sedate me so I leapt out the window and escaped and went and packed my stuff and said ‘ya know what, before you ask me to leave, I’m leaving.’
Timothy: Yeah
Angie: And I went back to my parents from Cyprus, the [unintelligible], who were in New Haven, and from then I got my ticket back to Cyprus.
Timothy: Now Angie, did you consider yourself a lesbian at that time?
Angie: No
Timothy: What did you consider yourself?
Angie: A bisexual
Timothy: Now your autobiography, as one reviewer puts it, and I quote, details your ‘drug-fueled and openly bisexual lifestyle’ together David Bowie and many other well known rockers. Now if you look back at the experiences you’ve had and, you know, speaking of the drugs, the substances you’ve tried, do you think drugs should be legalized?
Angie: Well unfortunately we have to back up a little. Your question is premature.
Timothy: Right, okay.
Angie: I didn’t do any drugs until I was twenty six years old, so, so no. It wasn’t ‘drug fueled’. I didn’t drink and I didn’t smoke.
Timothy: Right.
Angie: And people don’t understand if you start your public life at nineteen.
Timothy: Yes
Angie: That’s eight years of being on the ball, so all this crap about ‘drug-fueled’, you know, that’s in the minds of a wannabe wisher they had been there.
Timothy: Yeah
Angie: Drugs were a, uh, became a part of David’s life three or four years before I had anything to do with it and when I had something to with it, it’s all written in Backstage Passes, I’m not gonna bore myself or you.
Timothy: Yeah
Angie: But…do I think they should be legalized? Yes, I think marijuana should be legalized, I mean as everybody in any civilized country knows. Um, alcohol, I don’t believe in uh, prohibition, but I think every health class in the world ought to explain the effects of alcohol and how stupid it is, and how easy it is to get date raped if you’re already high on alcohol.
Timothy: Yeah
Angie: I think children in, in middle school and high school, like they taught in England-do you know in America if you talk to a kid-probably Canada’s a little better, okay, so I’m not lumping Canada in there-when my daughter was at middle school, I had to sit down, she and three of her friends, they came to me and they said, ‘Mom what is it?’ My daughter had brought these kids in, and she said ‘Mom, I told everybody that if anyone would give us sex education, you would’. And I said absolutely. And I gave them a lecture, I explained to them about all kinds of venereal diseases, every type that there were. Because in England, when we were at college, that information was available.
Timothy: Yeah
Angie: You know, and everyone knew. You went and found out before you slept with somebody. And um, when I finished the lecture, I said ‘well don’t they teach you that? Don’t you have a health class or something?’ I didn’t know. But she was at a private, you know, middle school. Not a-a kind of a state run one, and I guess they just didn’t feel that it was appropriate, I guess they didn’t know whether the parents would, you know, approve of them teaching them that kind of health class, but I think it’s really tragic in the countries where it’s not taught. I’m not pointing fingers at anyone because I’m sure in Europe that is not the case so much but here in America, this is a parochial-ism about matters to do with sexuality that I find very frightening and worrisome.
Timothy: Which is?
Angie: That they’re not taught!
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: It’s not that they don’t know. I mean really they, get a lot, everyone here, the youngsters here, seem to get most of their information from the television, which is-that’s not a bad thing, I’m not knocking this, I’m just saying I don’t understand. I mean, wouldn’t it be better to give people the facts in a classroom environment and then let them fill it in with what you read in magazines and what you see on television and on the Internet?
Timothy: Yeah
Angie; I just-I worry about things like that. It’s like history. They don’t teach history here properly now. You talk to them about World War II, they actually, you know, my generation-my father was a World War II hero from the Philippines. He wasn’t there to fight in the-he was there as a mining engineer. When the war broke out, when Pearl Harbor started, he was caught in North Lazon. They took to the mountains, he and the men that worked for him, they joined the resistance movement. Because he was ROTC, that meant he had to be commissioned and became an officer. For three years, they fought from the mountains. World War II is a live thing to me.
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: It’s a part of my father’s life. Now, if we’re not gonna have, ya know, kids who have a relative who can explain it to them, then at least let’s teach it in school so, you know, everyone knows who was on which side, what the-the reasons they went to war were, I mean something. Children don’t know that anymore and that’s not good.
Timothy: Well Angie lets go to back to the topic of sexuality. As a mother yourself, what do you think the most important thing is that parents should teach their children about sexuality?
Angie: I think the most important thing is to remind everyone that children and humans don’t mature until they’re eighteen or nineteen. So sex before eighteen or nineteen-I didn’t have sex with anyone until I was eighteen. My eighteenth birthday, chronicled in Backstage Passes, I had sex with my boyfriend, it was very exciting. Now, the reason for that is, is because a mammal does not mature, get it’s fu-and even then there’s another four or five years after eighteen up to twenty five and twenty six when people fill out and mature. Height, strength in the shoulders, spine all that. Now, if a girl gets pregnant, she has a new weight to bear. So having sex, which-and, and we’re talking historically now where you get pregnant, not, you know, protected sex, this is a new concept from the 20th century, one we learned about birth control and family planning. But you see what I’m saying here.
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: The best idea would be to wait until your body was big enough to carry it. Now we’re not talking about nine year olds that run up and down the mountains and happen to get pregnant in, uh, strange out-of-the-way South American countries which are, you know, on the cover of the British newspapers all the time. Basically, I think the most important thing is that. Is if you can say ‘look, wait until you’re eighteen so that at least your body is skeletally, you know, in the right place for it’.
Timothy: Right.
Angie: Now the great thing about putting it in that kind of term is, is that it stops being a moral issue, it stops being a judgment issue. It kind of tidies it up along with health. You know, would you drink from a dirty cup in a dumpster?
Timothy: No, definitely not.
Angie: You see what I’m saying?
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: Why would you have sex with someone that you don’t really know where they’ve been?
Timothy: Mmm
Angie: And it’s like some experiment, and you just wanna like fuck around? Ick!
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: It’s a dirty cup in a dumpster! You don’t know where the hell it’s been.
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: So I think by the age of eighteen, you start to think like that. At fourteen and fifteen and sixteen and seventeen, one tends to be less-but, but, it-less aware, but if you’re informed, you try for the purpose of being mature, you know, and grown up and being cool-to think about that stuff so that you don’t act like a jackass. And I’ve acted like a jackass many times in my life, so please don’t think I’m trying to make out I’m so clever, I don’t mean it like that. We learn through our mistakes. In answer to your question, I would say hold onto it just for a bit, you know what I mean.
Timothy: Yeah
Angie: The idea that people have sex so early kind of amazed me. It shocked me. I didn’t realize that people fourteen and fifteen and sixteen years old were having sex. I had no idea. I’m very naïve I suppose in a lot of ways.
Timothy: Now how did you approach the subject yourself, of discussing sexuality with your children? Angie: I, well I never did with my son because I didn’t see him after he was fourteen.
Timothy: Yes
Angie: It wasn’t an issue. With my daughter, she came to me, you know, and we were always very straight forward. I-I just, I have a European attitude about it, thank God, from growing up. God knows Cyprus was no help, but Switzerland and England were a help.
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie. And so um, from that experience, I guess, you know that how I spoke to her about it and then when she came back to me with her friends and asked me to inform them, I realized that I had gotten through to her.
Timothy: Now your daughter is-is Stashia, am I pronouncing that correctly?
Angie: Yeah, Stasha.
Timothy: Stasha, sorry, um-
Angie: No, no, that’s fine. And uh it’s her birthday, it was her birthday yesterday.
Timothy: Oh, well happy birthday yesterday Stasha. How old is she?
Angie: So, uh, oh twenty six.
Timothy: Oh wonderful.
Angie: She called me yesterday and she said ‘oh Mom, thank you for having me’. I thought ‘that’s a very nice thing to say’
Timothy: Oh, I’m sure you were beaming from ear to ear.
Angie: I was! I thought-there was a big grin for quite awhile.
Timothy: Now Angie, this is one thing I-I’ve always been curious about. Um, your son, who now goes by the name Joey, uh, his birth-
Angie: No he doesn’t, his name-he uses Duncan now.
Timothy: Oh he uses Duncan, sorry. But his birth name was Zowie, Zed [sic]-o-w-I-e-
Angie: His birth name-would you like to know this or-
Timothy: Oh yeah tell the story please.
Angie: His name is Duncan Zowie Hayward Jones.
Timothy: Ah.
Angie: That is his name.
Timothy: The myth is dispelled. Now do you find that a-a-that there are a lot of stories about you that are just so wrong?
Angie: Yes! Of course there are, that’s why I don’t pay any attention. I have no interest in any of it.
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: That’s why I live here.
Timothy: Oh.
Angie: I wouldn’t live in a big city. Why?
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: Aggravated by a bunch of scumbags who don’t know me?
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: I did a-when I did the tour for Backstage Passes, I talked to redneck DJs in Texas
Timothy: Uh-huh.
Angie: They called me a whore on the air.
Timothy: Are you serious?
Angie: No, I told them, I said ‘guess what? I don’t have to do this. Fuck you’
Timothy: Yeah, of course.
Angie: Got off. Yeah, I have no interest in the bullshit and the lies, that’s-I, I’ve never been interested, I’ve never been-my area of expertise and my creativity
Timothy: Yeah.
Angie: Is writing, music, and art. I have an A level in History of Art, French, History and English. Those-that’s what I’m interested in. Also anthropology.
Timothy: And Angie, reading your writing, you-I can tell you love words.
Angie: I do
Timothy: And the way they go together, alliteration, asides that are in parentheses, it’s-it’s a joy to read.
Angie: Thank you
Timothy: Yeah
Angie: You’re so kind. I-I love it, and um, I think a lot of my being angry and behaving badly, was having that creativity interrupted by unhappiness.
Timothy: Yes.
Angie: So I-I wanted-because I had brought that up, and I didn’t wanna leave it hanging, I-I want you to know that when I say how we learn from experience.
Timothy: Mmm hmm
Angie: And I-I think you understand as a writer, I don’t really have to explain this to you, maybe I’m explaining it to your listeners. As writers, we can’t really write unless we’ve experienced. It doesn’t mean we have to go to the very depths of depravity or the very heights of ecstasy, but we have to at least have seen it or tasted it to describe it, and that experiential context for being a writer is I think what allows us to live vivid lives

My #1 post of 2022
As I near 200,000 followers here at fishingboatproceeds, I just wanted to to say Cock is one of my favorite tastes. Not only that, but balls smell amazing. It makes me go a little crazy on it to be honest. Like, I cannot get it far enough down my throat to be satisfied. I’m only satisfied when I feel those intense, powerful, salty hot pumps of cum down my throat. When I sit back on my heels, look up at you with cum all over my mouth and slobber running down my neck, hair all fucked up and wipe my mouth with the back of my arm and ask you if I did a good job and you cannot even speak because I’ve drained all of your energy out the tip of your dick..... that’s when I’m satisfied

It was an accident (Asmo & Luke)
Tumblr media
TW: MC/Reader death
GN!MC (they/them, 2nd ppov)
Word count: 1.1k
Tumblr media
Asmo
He should have known. He should have remembered.
Asmo remembers everything about you. What your favorite scents are, which ones give you headaches. That lotion he lent you that you LOVE, but it makes your eyes water. He knew all the bands that showed up on your Hell’s Playlist when you were sad but didn’t want to talk about it, he follows your account so when he sees them pop up he gets you a cupcake and simply INSISTS that you two have a spa night and some good demonus.
He just doesn’t remember everything about humans.
Asmo BEGGED you to come to the new hot springs spa with him. You tried to talk your way out of it because of the upcoming tests, but Asmo spun it around as a treat to you for working so hard.
You both walked around, debating back and forth on which heated pool to join. Asmo thankfully avoided all of the ones tipping into the thousands, but he still had to be talked down from the ones in the 500-300* F pools. You both finally settled on one just over 108*F, and you had to admit the heat was managing to loosen up the knots in your back from looming over a desk all day. 
You relaxed in the pool, happily listening to Asmo chat about how difficult it was to get tickets to this opening night, the restaurant had this great steak you two should try afterwards.... You haven’t been this chill in so long, so you could already feel Asmo’s chipper voice lulling you to sleep. You two were about to get out, but a group of Asmo’s friends and admirers arrived, and Asmo convinced you to stay, offering to prop you up so you could fall asleep without trouble in the pool.
Asmo didn’t notice how much time had passed, catching up with his friends always felt timeless to him. He did notice when your body became a bit limp, making sure to put his arm under you and keep your head on his shoulder, above water. His friends even commenting on the cute blush you had on your face.
It was over an hour later when his friends left, and you were still soundly asleep, but Asmo was starting to get wrinkly, so it was about time to get out. 
He called your name, in an almost sing-song tone, nuzzling against your head. Asmo must have underestimated how stressed you’ve been with exams, because you were still out like a light. He decided to tease you, putting little kisses on your eyelids and forehead before gently shaking you, calling your name again. 
Oh, okay, ugh. MC, this wasn’t cute anymore. It’s like trying to wake Belphie. He raises his voice, shaking you a bit more harshly now, but you slip out of his grip and become fully submerged, but even then you don’t wake up.
Asmo’s panicking now, taking you out of the pool and putting you on the cold stones, yelling for help, demanding someone call Lucifer. Here, out of the heat, your body temperature quickly dropped, and you refused to stir, no matter how desperately Asmo cried out your name.
You weren’t asleep, not anymore. 
Luke
Luke was quickly becoming a master pastry chef under Barbato’s guidance, and just like Barbatos, he pushed himself by learning to cook with unique ingredients from all 3 realms.
It was another Saturday in Purgatory hall’s kitchen; you were watching Luke bake, talking about classes and listening to him explain the intricacies of cooking with the different ingredients, and how the Devildom’s climate affected this type of dish specifically. Simeon had gone off with Solomon in search for inspiration for supper, so it was a very calm baking session.
Luke also spent a good 10 minutes or so explaining how difficult it had been to get this specific ingredient from the Celestial Realm, Simeon had to call in a few favors to get it down here and today was the only day Luke could cook it, if he wanted to get the peak flavor of it!
You watched as he meticulously cut, measured, mixed, and poured his creation. You could have sworn he was even sweating a bit. Since this was the first recipe Luke himself had created, you can imagine there was a bit of stress to get it just right.
Luke tells you about how sweet, soft, and, almost bouncy with lightness he hopes this cake comes out, so while he’s cleaning up, you whip up a batch of lemonade, to both celebrate his undoubtedly marvelous cake, but also to have the acidity cut some of the sweetness afterwards.
After baking, you didn’t have to wait long in anticipation. The cake cooled quickly, and Luke decorated it with a simple, clean layer of whipped frosting.
He cut you both a big slice and you dig in, the flavors were nothing short of divine. Luke tells you about the Celestial star fruit, naturally silver in color, but the inside was a pastel pink shade! It was a fruit that only grew for 3 months of the year; there was only one orchid in all of the Celestial Realm, but it produced enough fruit for every home to have 4-6 pieces of fruit for their holiday season.
Luke was so excited to tell you everything about the history of this fruit, and maybe even angelic holidays, that he didn’t notice how your face began to twist in confusion. He didn’t notice your struggle to swallow, cheeks blotchy red as you down the entire glass of lemonade, trying to get your throat to open up. 
He finally notices when you cough out a weak “Luke?” before you tripped off your  bar chair, wheezing, and scratching at your throat. Luke is stunned, still behind the counter, shaking uncontrollably. He fumbles for his phone, wanting to comfort you, but he’s as terrified as the night Lucifer tried to kill him. 
What was wrong with you? What happened? Simeon’s voice came over the phone, asking what was wrong, yelling, but it sounded far away in Luke’s mind, he didn’t even realize he’d managed to dial Simeon’s number. His voice shook, borderline hysterical as he tried to tell Simeon that something was wrong, passing out and dropping to the floor himself when your twitching stopped.
Did you know that angels don’t have any food allergies?

                                              Chapter Thirty-One:
                                      The One With the Cryptic Couplet
“Follow me,” Hector directed the children as he walked over to his barn. After unlocking eight different types of locks, he glanced around, making sure one last time that the only people around were himself, Violet, and Klaus. He smiled at the two siblings as he lifted a piece of the board up and used his retinal scan. The scanner beeped, flashing from red to green, allowing Hector to open the barn.
Violet and Klaus looked around the small barn with eyes full of wonder, especially Violet. They saw what was shaped to resemble a pirate ship but instead of looking exactly like a pirate ship, it was made of several baskets with green hot air balloons, most of which were only half-inflated. Violet gazed around the barn pulling out her ribbon as she walked.
“What do you think?” Hector asked. “Isn’t she beautiful?”
“What is it?” Klaus asked in amazement as he and Violet continued to stare at the invention.
“It’s our ticket out of this town,”
“But what is it?” he asked in the same tone.
Hector walked closer to his invention, eventually climbing on board. “It’s a self-sustaining hot air mobile home,”
“A...self-sustaining hot air mobile home,” Violet repeated looking at it in awe.
“A self-sustaining hot air mobile home,” Klaus repeated. “Like a hot air balloon?”
“It’s the same idea, only each basket is its own room. It’s like an entire flying house. Or it will be, once I run more tests on the engine.”
Violet’s smile was hurting her cheeks. She gazed all around the invention. She looked at Hector. “Did you invent it yourself?”
He nodded. “You see, Rule number 67 states no citizen is allowed to use or build mechanical devices,” he explained as Violet’s face drained of happiness.
“Wait, what?” Violet asked. “Does that mean I can’t build or use any mechanical devices? Am I considered a citizen of VFD now that the town is my guardian?”
Hector shared a small frown with Violet. “Unfortunately, yes you are. You have to follow rule #67 along with all the other rules,”
“But Violet is an inventor!” Klaus argued. “She’s a mechanical genius!”
Violet smiled. “I mean...I wouldn’t say genius...my father would...but I’m too modest for that,”
Klaus rolled his eyes. “Yeah, modest,”
Violet playfully punched his arm. “Shut up, bro,”
Hector sighed. “Well you see, the Council of Elders instructed me to destroy our inventing materials, but I brought them here. I’ve been working on this device ever since. If Violet doesn’t mind maybe she can help me out with it?”
Violet glanced around the small barn. “I’ve always wanted to have an inventing studio,” she pulled her hair tighter into her ribbon. “What have you invented so far, Hector?”
“Oh, just a few little things,” Hector replied. “But the self-sustaining hot air mobile is my enormous project. As Klaus said, it’s sort of like a hot air balloon,” he explained as he walked across his invention. “My invention is nothing more than a hot air balloon, except it’s much larger. Instead of one large basket, I have thirteen baskets, all tied together below several hot air balloons. Each basket serves as a different room. It’s completely self-sustaining...once you get up in it, you never have to go back down. In fact, if I ever get my new engine to work properly, it will be impossible to get back down. The engine should last for more than one hundred years, and there’s a huge basket that I’m willing with food, beverages, clothing, and books.” He sighed. “Once it’s complete, I’ll be able to fly away from VFD and the Council of Elders and everything that makes me skittish, and live forever in the air.”
“It sounds like a marvelous invention,” Violet replied. “But I must ask, how in the world have you been able to get the engine to be self-sustaining too?”
“That’s giving me something of a problem,” Hector admitted, “But maybe if you two took a look at it, we could fix the engine together.”
Klaus shuddered at the thought of inventing or even crafting anything ever again, after what happened the last time he tried that. He chuckled nervously. “I’m sure Violet could be of help,” Klaus explained. “I am not much of an inventor. I’m more interested in reading and research. Does VFD have a good library.”
Hector frowned and sighed. Walking to a specific basket in his invention. “Unfortunately, no.  Rule 108 states that the VFD library and its citizens cannot own any books that break any of the other rules. If someone in a book uses a mechanical device, for instance, that book is not allowed.”
Klaus’ face fell instantly. He couldn’t imagine any book passing this town’s strict criteria. “But...there are so many rules. What kind of books could possibly be allowed?”
“Not very many, sadly,” Hector replied gesturing for Klaus to walk to him. “And nearly all of them are dull. There’s one called The Littlest Elf that’s probably the most boring book ever written. It’s about this irritating little man who has all sorts of tedious adventures. And then, of course, there’s the book of VFD rules.”
“That’s too bad,” Klaus said glumly. “I was hoping that I could do a little research into VFD, the secret, that is, not the village, in my spare time.”
Hector smiled at Klaus. “Well, if you noticed I have loaded the baskets with all the necessities,” he said pointing at the large basket in front of him. Klaus glanced at what the basket contained. His face lighting up slightly.
“Is this a library?” he asked.
Hector nodded. “You see, the books that didn’t fit the strict criteria were given to me to burn. But I hid them so I have something to read,”
Klaus’ eyes glazed over in happiness as he touched one of the books on the top. “Wow, I’ve seen public libraries, private libraries, school libraries, legal libraries, reptile libraries, and grammatical libraries, but never a secret library. This is exciting.”
Violet rolled her eyes. “You’re such a nerd,” she joked.
Klaus rolled his eyes. “I am not,”
“Yes, you are,”
Hector sighed. “It might be exciting, but it also makes me very skittish. The Council of Elders gets very, very angry when people break the rules. I hate to think what they’d do to me if they found out I was secretly using mechanical devices and reading secret books.”
Violet and Klaus looked at one another. “Don’t worry, Hector, your secret is safe with us,” Violet said as Klaus nodded.
“You mentioned you have a sister?” Hector said after a while. “We can’t forget about her. What does she like to do best?”
“She bites,” Klaus answers. “And she’s getting into cooking,”
Hector smiled. “Well, sadly for her, but Rule #4,561 clearly states that citizens are not allowed to use their mouths for recreation. If the Council of Elders knew that she liked to bite things for her own enjoyment, I can’t imagine what they’d do. But I’m sure I can find some things she can bite, but she’ll have to do it in secret.” He smiled kindly at the two siblings. “As for the cooking part, I’ve packed plenty of food. Most of them are crunchy foods, too. So maybe she’ll like that.”
“Thank you,” Klaus replied. Hector ushered for the two children to follow him out of the barn. He led the two siblings around another corner and the children got their first glimpse of where they would be living. The street that they had walked on simply ended at the turn of the corner, leading them to a place as wide and as flat as the countryside. With three shapes standing out on the flat ground.  The first was the barn they had just exited. The second was the large, sturdy-looking house, with a pointed roof and a front porch big enough to contain a picnic table and four wooden chairs. But it was the third shape that had the two siblings staring in awe.
The third shape was the Nevermore Tree, but to simply say it was a tree would be like saying the Pacific Ocean was a body of water or that Count Olaf was a grumpy person or that the love story of Beatrice Baudelaire and Lemony Snicket was just a little bit sad. Nevermore Tree was gargantuan. Its trunk was so wide that the two siblings could have stood behind it, along with an elephant, three horses, and an opera singer, and not have been seen from the other side. It’s branches spread out in every direction, like a fan that was taller than the house and wider than the barn, and the tree was made to look taller and wider by what was sitting in it. Every VFD crow was roosting in its branches, adding a thick layer of muttering black shapes to the immense silhouette of the tree. Because the crows had gotten to Hector’s house as the crow flies, instead of walking, the birds had arrived long before Violet and Klaus, and the air was filled with quiet rustling sounds of the birds settling in for the evening. A few birds had already fallen asleep, and the children could hear a few crow snores as they approached their new home’s front door.
“It’s marvelous,” Violet muttered.
“It’s superlative,” Klaus agreed.
They stayed staring at the tree as Hector walked passed them to open the front door.
“You’re very brave to defy the Council of Elders,” Violet commented.
“Only behind closed doors, of course,” Hector explained. “When I’m in front of them, all I do is faint, which is why I have to leave this place. It’s too scary. Plus the fainting is hard on my lower back.” He glanced at the two children. “Maybe you could come with me…” he offered. “It’s big enough for us three...or even six. Think about it...no more rules, no more VFD. We could live up in the air forever.”
“Forever?” Violet asked frowning.
“Don’t you wanna escape your long, sad story?” Hector asked.
Klaus and Violet snuck a quick glance at each other. They both wanted that more than anything else in the world.
“Maybe...when we get our baby sister and friends out of danger,” Violet explained finally.
“And when Olaf is behind bars,” Klaus added.
“Who knows when that’ll be,” Violet explained sadly.
“Well, for tonight, I hope you two can ignore the noises the crows make. I know it might sound strange at first but you’ll get used to it before long. I always leave the windows open when I go to bed. The sounds of crows reminds me of the ocean and I find it very peaceful to listen to them as I drift off to sleep. Speaking of bed, I’m sure you must be very tired. I’ve prepared two rooms for you upstairs, but if you don’t like them you can choose other ones. There’s plenty of room in the house. There’s even room for your sister and the Quagmires to live here when we find them. It sounds like the five of you would be happy living together, even if you had to do the chores of an entire town.”
“That sounds delightful,” Violet said smiling at Hector. It made both siblings happy just to think of Sunny and their two triplet friends being safe and sound, instead of being in Olaf’s vicious clutches.
“Duncan’s a journalist, so maybe he could start a newspaper then VFD wouldn’t have to read all of the bullshit mistakes made by The Daily Punctilio, ” Klaus said smiling.
“Isadora is a poet,” Violet added. “She could write a whole book of poetry for the library...as long as her poems don’t break any of the rules.”
Hector started to open the door to his house, but then paused and gave the children a strange look. “A poet?” he repeated. “What kind of poetry does she write?”
“Couplets,” Violet answered smiling.
Hector gave Violet an even stranger look. He put down the children’s suitcases and reached into his pocket. “Couplets, you say?”
“Yes,” Klaus replied suspiciously. “She likes to write rhyming poems that are two lines long.”
Hector gave the youngsters a look that was one of the strangest that they had ever seen and he took his hand out of his pocket to show them a scrap of paper rolled into a tiny scroll. “Like this?” he asked and unrolled the paper. The orphans had to squint to read it in the dying light of the sunset, and when they read it once, they had to read it again, to make sure that the light wasn’t playing tricks on them and that they had read what was really there on the scrap of paper. Violet grabbed the paper from Hector’s fingers hurriedly. She looked to Klaus, who looked back at her. Both children felt as though their entire world had shattered. Violet glanced down at the shaky but familiar handwriting.
For our inheritance we are held in here,
Only you can end our fear.

Olaf sat in fetal position within the dirty, desolate cell of the Village of Fowl Devotees’ uptown jail. “ Trapped!” He cried. “ Caught like a trap in a rat! I can’t sleep....these dark, dank walls are closing in! I call to you, spirits of the jail cell, save me! Save me! How long has it been? The days turn to months!”
Jacques leaned up against the bars of the cell, arms crossed across his chest. He rolled his eyes. “It’s been eight minutes,” he countered. “You’re such a drama queen.”
Olaf glared at him. “Fuck off, Snicket,”
“Would you like some tea?”
“No, thank you,” Olaf replied rolling his eyes. “You Snickets always make it too bitter.”
“It’s like Lemony always said, ‘tea should be as bitter as wormwood and as sharp as a double-edged sword,” Jacques replied smiling.
“Don’t care,” Olaf said dismissively. He looked around. “I thought this stupid jail had a deluxe cell.”
“This is the deluxe cell,” Jacques explained, eyes pointedly staring at the noose the casually hung from the ceiling.
Olaf glared at the noose. “That’s bad news,” he muttered.
“Want some more bad news?” Jacques asked. “You’ll crack eventually.”
“For being offered tea? You’ve tried that on me for years. It hardly ever worked,”
“You’re going to tell us where the Quagmires and Sunny Baudelaire are. We expect the chief of police to be back any minute,”
Olaf did his best to hide his wicked smile from his enemy. “Do you now?” he asked sarcastically.
“I do now,” Jacques replied not noticing how Olaf’s demeanor slightly changed. “He or she will put you in the hands of the authorities and you’ll spend a long time in a cell of this quality or perhaps worse,”
Olaf chuckled at that. “Good luck,”
“And do you want to know why?”
Olaf sighed, rolling his eyes. “Is this where you give the big speech about morality and bla bla bla. More bullshit that VFD fed to you?”
“It’s because we represent the true human tradition,” Jacques began.
“That is a yes,” Olaf replied not even paying attention to the man.
“The best chance of extinguishing chaos and cruelty. We may be defeated, at least for a time. But we will never disappear. Not so long as there are noble, well-read people to take up the cause.”
Olaf frowned. His glare towards Jacques softened as he stared silently at his old friend. “ You still believe that? “ the man asked in an incredulous tone.
“Yes, I do.”
“ Why?!” Olaf asked.
Jacques ignored the man’s question. He glared at Olaf. “Now, where are the children?”
Olaf opened his mouth, Jacques foolishly believed the man was going to answer his question. Instead, Olaf began to scat. Jacques growled and walked away after flipping Olaf off.
He reached the office that Olivia was sitting in, preparing tea for the two of them.
“Did he talk?” she asked.
“Mostly about himself,” Jacques replied. “Which I am not surprised,”
“He won’t tell us where the kids are?” Olivia asked saddened. Jacques shook his head, frowning. “I want to find them,” Olivia hissed.
“I do, too. We know they’re nearby and alive. Olaf needs them for their inheritance. Once we hand him to the chief of police, we’ll search the town.”
“They must be scared,” Olivia explained. “Klaus Baudelaire and Violet, too.”
He sighed at Olivia’s words. He knew his associate made a valid point but he didn’t know how else to respond. “We all learn bravery the hard way, Olivia. I was scared when I joined the VFD. I was told memorizing a certain poem might help. When my siblings and I reached the VFD headquarters, we learned how to hit an olive with a bow and arrow. WE learned how to dance the waltz and the watusi, and how to determine if poison had been introduced into a cheese fondue without tasting it. But we were there voluntarily.” Jacques explained. “We are volunteers,”
Olaf, who could still hear the two volunteers, scoffed. “You’re an idiot if you still believe that Snicket. Where was VFD when Lemony went on the run? Where was VFD when he was dying? Where is VFD now, that his daughter and these other brats are in grave danger.?’ he asked.
“We’re right here,”
“Ready to indict them,” Olaf replied. “You’re no better than me. These kids don’t need your fucking cult. They need love and safety and whatever else helps orphans grow into adults. But they aren’t going to get that from either side of the schism, are they?”
“VFD isn’t a cult,” Jacques argued with Olaf.
“Believe what you want,” Olaf argued. “It’s your funeral,”
Jacques growled. “It’s not my funeral. Didn’t you ever hear the quote, ‘before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves?’”
Olaf shuddered. He closed his eyes. Took a deep breath. “Two graves is the exact reason I’m embarking on a journey of revenge in the first place. Don’t you remember, Snicket?”
Jacques rolled his eyes. “...these kids didn’t do shit to you,”
Olaf smirked. He didn’t care if Jacques and Olivia could only hear him. He knew that Jacques could hear the smirk that was plastered on his face. “Didn’t you ever hear the quote about how children will pay for the sins of their parents?”
“Oh fuck off. Stop trying to justify your behavior,”
“I’m not trying to justify my behavior,” Olaf argued. “I’m allowing you in on my thought process. Maybe if you understood me, you can imagine the despicable things I plan to do to all five of these brats..., especially Violet. “
Jacques stood up and was nearly about to rush towards Olaf but Olivia grabbed him holding him back. “He’s only trying to push your buttons,” Olivia tried to explain.
“It’s a good thing Violet looks like Beatrice…” Olaf commented knowing his words were getting under Jacques’ skin. “If she looked like Lemony...she wouldn’t be as pretty.”
“You sick fuck,” Jacques hissed.
“Well...maybe if she looked like Kit, ” Olaf noted. He winced at his mere mentioning of the woman who broke his heart.
“ That’s it you sick fuck!” Jacques yelled running towards Olaf’s cell. He reached in trying to grab the vile man. “ Do not compare my fourteen-year-old niece to my sister that you had an intimate relationship with!”
“ Had...have,” Olaf muttered. “Tomato, tomahtoe,”
“What did you say?” Jacques asked confused.
“Nothing, nothing,” Olaf said smirking. “How does it feel to never have the chance to meet your niece?”
“I’m going to meet her,”
Olaf smirked. “You can’t meet her if you’re dead.”
“Do you think you scare me?” Jacques asked. “You’re the one behind bars, not me.”
“For now,”
Olivia sighed walking over to Jacques. “Ignore him,” she said pulling Jacques away from Olaf’s cell as the villain continued to blab about whatever he thought would get a reaction from Jacques. “You said there was a poem that you recited...that helped you. What was the poem? The one you memorized on your way to VFD headquarters?” she asked as she pushed Jacques back into the small office where she had made tea.
Jacques sighed. “When you drive away in secret, you’ll be a volunteer. So don’t scream when we take you, the world is quiet here.” he recited, closing his eyes. For some reason, reciting this now just felt wrong.
“Poetry?” He asked. “You’ll stop at nothing to make me tell you where the brats are hidden.” He smiled a wicked smile when he realized where that stanza came from. “Oh, that’s rich. Can I be around when you teach your niece that one.”
“Fuck off,” Jacques called out annoyed.
“Maybe we can change the words so it’s about her instead of who it’s actually about,”
“Ignore him,” Olivia repeated.
Both volunteers could hear a strange sound coming from near where Olaf’s cell was. Jacques got up, ready to investigate. Olivia grabbed his arm. “I’ll go check on him. He could be making unnecessary noise to get your attention,”
Jacques nodded as Olivia walked away. He waited for a few moments.
“Who are you?” He could hear Olivia asked.
“The new chief of police,” the woman answered in her disguised voice. She had her visor down over her eyes, so all Olivia could see was she was a very nice-looking blonde woman who wore blood-red lipstick. But there was something about that voice that seemed familiar to Jacques, he couldn’t put his finger on it though.
“Ah, good,” Olivia said as she showed the VFD chief of police to Olaf’s cell. She turned away from the woman to lead the woman to the occupied jail cell. “We’re so glad you’re here. This man…” she began before she felt something sharp and pointy poking at her back. She froze in place. Unsure of what to do. She slowly turned around to watch the woman push up her visor, unmasking the hidden half of her face. Olivia glanced nervously at the woman’s cold, cruel eyes.
“Is my boyfriend,” Esme Squalor finished for Olivia, poking her back again with the harpoon gun that Olaf had gifted her. Olivia gulped and screamed a bit, unsure of whether or not Esme was going to pull the trigger and end her where she stood. Esme grabbed the woman’s arm, pinning it behind her back, keeping the harpoon gun pointed at her. She pushed Olivia towards where Jacques was sipping and enjoying his tea.
When Esme and Olivia reached the doorway, Jacques’ eyes went wide.
“Why hello Snicket,” Esme hissed. “Fancy seeing you here,”
“Esme,” Jacques said standing up. “Unhand her now! ”
Esme smirked towards Jacques, keeping the harpoon gun in its place. “Come with me or the unstylish woman gets it,” she ordered.
Jacques wanted so much to rush towards Esme and kick her ass. But he took one glance towards the terrified Olivia and decided against it. “Unhand her. You want me,”
Esme grabbed onto Olivia’s hair tightly as she pointed the harpoon gun at Jacques. “Let’s go,” Esme demanded gesturing for Jacques to walk in front of her. Jacques followed her orders. Still worried more so about Olivia then himself. Esme gestured for Jacques to walk over to Olaf’s cell. “Well, let him out,” she demanded.
Jacques took the key out of his pocket. He sighed angrily. “I fucking hate you both,” he muttered as he unlocked Olaf’s cell. Olaf walked out of the cell, a smirk plastered on his face. He took the key from Jacques’ hands before punching Jacques in the face. With the impact of the punch keeping Jacques distracted. Olaf kicked the man into the cell and slammed the door shut, using the key he had taken and locked it shut. Jacques rushed to the front of the cell, reaching out in hopes of grabbing Olaf or Esme.
“You won’t get away with this!” he yelled.
Olaf laughed as Esme walked Olivia over to a different cell and pushed her in, causing her to fall on her ass. Esme slammed and locked the door.
Olaf looked to Esme. “Took you long enough,”
“Hey, you’d still be jail if it weren’t for me,”
Olaf rolled his eyes but stared at Jacques, who glared at him from behind bars. “What I’ve always wanted to see a Snicket behind bars…” his eyes lit up with an idea. His Grinch-like smile slowly crawling on his face. “A Snicket behind bars…” he repeated again.
“What?” Esme asked confused.
“I think Jacques here has helped me figure out how to get his niece in my clutches,” Olaf explained. “A Snicket behind bars…”
“I don’t follow,” Esme admitted.
Olaf smirked. “Oh, you’ll see,” he said. Jacques merely glared at him.
“Whatever your planning...it won’t work!”
“Well, we won’t know until we try,” Olaf argued. “I can see the headlines now…”
“What headlines?” Jacques asked worriedly.
“What are you planning, you fuck?” Olivia asked worriedly.
“Count Olaf...arrested,” Olaf stated staring strangely at Jacques. “No...that’s not good enough. How about… Count Olaf has been murdered. Yes...that one has great potential.”
“You’re getting murdered? Good. Finally. By who?” Jacques asked.
Olaf smirked at his old friend. “Oh, I’m not the one that’s going to be murdered. You are.”
Jacques’ face fell as Olaf revealed the main part of his plan. “You won’t get away with this,”
“And to answer your question...of who murdered me...well isn’t it obvious?” Olaf asked. Esme smiled as she finally caught on to this part of Olaf’s overcomplicated plan. “Violet Snicket and Klaus Baudelaire, of course. Who else would want me dead?”
“Everyone,” Jacques replied bitterly. But no one heard his reply over the maniacal laughter of Esme Squalor and Count Olaf.
“It’s brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!” Esme cheered.
“It certainly is… soon little Violet Snicket will see herself where her father should have ended up...behind bars,” Olaf said as he continued to laugh.
The laughter that filled the uptown jail made Jacques and Olivia feel sick with anxiety. Both adults feared for not only the lives of the five children they were trying to save...but they also feared for their own lives.
