"I'm sure," said Capodoto. "Perhaps the sender made an error?"

The guy outside the door paused for a second. "Oh I see! That looks an aweful lot like a nine there, the one day I don't bring my glasses, you know? At least it's not the day that the Mafia try to get me to count my taxes. Well, sorry about this."

"No wait, come in!" Melody called.

[Channelknight Fadran]

"I'm really confused. What the heck is going on?"

"Well, apparently this octopus is Gerald's quote unquote nemesis, so the nice doctor called him here once he saw Gerald. The octopus wants to 'get rid of [Gerald] once and for all', which doesn't sound good, and now because we're Gerald's friends he's trapping us too. Make any sense?"

"Uhhh... sure."

"Enough chit-chat!" called the octopus. "Pull the lever, Capodoto!"

Again, the crocodiles appeared, gnashing and grinding and chomping. Slowly, the ceiling began to lower into the pit...

"And, now, to conquer the tri-state area this pitiful subverse! Undead- and unalive- you know what, just un- army, move out!"

There was a series of thuds as the un- army began to march.

"Hey!" Ellis yelled. "HEY!"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

The Doctor cackled evilly as he marched forwards at the head of the un- army. "See you never!" he called as his voice faded into the distance.

[Channelknight Fadran]

Ellis began struggling against his bonds, wincing whenever he looked at the approaching crocodiles. "Alright, Melody! I said I was glad to have met you before, but this is the perfect time to tell you that I'm really glad I met you!"

Gerald sighed. "I thought I'd finally been rid of him. Guess not."

"Thanks," said Gerald, "but I don't think we need to say our final goodbyes just yet."

"No, but one always shows up. I've gotten used to it by now."

The voice was different this time, sounding older. In fact, it sounded familiar too. "As it turns out, it was a 9 the whole time. I was just reading it upside down. You guys still in there?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Yep," said Gerald. "Still hanging in here."

"Ah, that's perfect. Any chance of you being able to unlock the door. This neighborhood looks sketchy, I'd hate to leave the package out here."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"There's a hole in the basement," replied Gerald. "Or the ceiling, if you're feeling spicy."

"Ah, no matter. I can get through." After he spoke, the door knob made some interesting sounds before a satisfying click came. A head poked through the door, it was easily recognizable as the old man from the staircase. He looked at the group as they hung in their cage, he then smiled.

"Ah, this might be an interesting story that you can tell me about later. Now, where to put the package." As the old man fully entered the room, he wore a delivery man's uniform that obviously didn't fit him at all.

Idk if you've noticed, but Q has left the room to throw up over the balcony. I'm also writing something about her while she's out there cos I finally have time to devote myself to this.

Idk if you've noticed, but we're all trapped in a cage on the ceiling and being lowered into a pit of alligators.

The old man placed the package on the floor, nudged it slightly as if to correct it's position, and then he nodded, satisfied. "Well, now that is done." He then whipped out a knife and cut open the package, pulling out a strangely colored Discus. He then got into position, and twirled, hurling it so that it smacked against the cage's bars, shattering the discus and the bars on impact. "Ah, is that a big enough whole for you?"
