Another day in the red room
situated in episode 17 of season 2, it’s a bit of a shit post, and it’s not meant to be serious 😭
inspired by one of @sillydeafwitch ‘s post where B&J can see what they’re doing in the real world
characters : og mystery inc (minus Pericles), mayor jones, Ed machine, Darrow family, nova etc etc, in the red room
another day in the red room.
-What in the living hell did you do this time ?
Cassidy was watching over a mirror-like window serving as a link between the red room and the real world, where mystery incorporated was already facing a new mystery.
-I honestly don’t even want to know.
Judy sighed, glancing over Cassidy’s shoulder.
-It looks like he found another way to waste my money…
Both turned their head, spotting an understandably pissed younger Ricky, sitting in one of the room’s seat.
-Can you even imagine how much hundreds of mutated cows cost ?! All that money, to track down teenagers and to find a stupid disk !
He sighed.
-Beside, I never wanted to hurt anybody… and yet it still happened…
Mrs Darrow put a reassuring hand on the boy’s shoulder, trying to comfort him.
-Honey, nobody here wanted to hurt anyone… Don’t be too hard on yourself.
-Beside, nothing that’s happening right now would be happening if some interdimensional creature whose name I will keep silent had deigned to mind their business and had left the human race alone.
Ed Machine growled, glancing at Nova who simply ignored him by walking to the center of the room.
-We have to be patient, the new mystery incorporated will be able to beat the demon, we have to trust them.
-That’s easy to say for you, said Cassidy, scoffing. You have nothing to lose, it’s not even your world that’s gonna get destroyed !
-I don’t see the problem, even if it’s not my dimension, I can still care about your world.
-Ah ! Shouted Danny Darrow, the kids have trapped the Queen, they are taking it out of Crystal Cove !
A sigh of relief was heard from everyone in the red room.
-See ? You have to trust them.
-Oh cut it out ! Jones snapped, before curling up on one of the red sofas in the room, that’s easy to say for you. Your body’s not being used by an evil entity who’s acting like a freak and neglecting your son !
He sighed.
-My meddling Fred, I hope he’s okay…
-Eh, I don’t think so, well, surely not after that.
Judy and Jones simultaneously turned their head to Cletus Darrow, who was worryingly watching trough the multi dimensional window.
-Brad’s launching a missile at Fred and their friends.
-I’M DOING WHAT ?!
Brad had been a complete mess since the Krampus incident and who had spent the week in a corner whimping and crying, no longer able to stand seeing himself in the real world. Seeing himself betray his son, snap at his wife, and blindly follow a mad parrot who had betrayed him years ago made him want to strangle himself. Literally.
-Why do we even HAVE a missile ?! And why on earth would I launch it on Fred ?!
-I don’t know, but you did. But you missed it so I guess they’re okay.
No answer came from the ex-redhead who had once again curled up in a corner, whimpering.
-Oh for god’s sake Bradley, Judy scoffed, clearly annoyed by her husband, stop whining, your son nearly died !
Another sniffle, coming this time from the mayor, accompanied those from Brad.
-My poor Fred… my meddling Fred…
Cassidy sighed, before shooting an exasperated look at Judy.
-You should go talk with those two stressed out whining idiots before I whip their ass.
-Got you.
Nova observed the rest of the room with an odd look, before clearing her throat.
-Well, the important part is that we have to trust the new mystery…
But before she could actually finish her sentence, the whole room turned to her, shouting their lungs out.
-SHUT THE HELL UP !
