Kiki:Can I go now? I’ve shared the thing, and it sounds like you guys know everything else. Pirates of the Caribbean might be my favorite ride at Disney, but like that one pirate who walked into a bar with the wheel on his belt, this one be drivin’ me nuts.
Hook:Ha . . . ha . . . ha . . .
Asher stands and moves closer to the camera.

Asher:You can see why I wanted to share that with you. There was no way any of you were going to believe me if you didn’t see it with your own eyes. So, to recap, now we know who the missing pieces are. All that’s left is to find them. Hopefully Hades is able to connect with them, but if not, maybe one of you will fare better.
Hades:Asshole, fetch.

Asher turns away from the screen, revealing the portal just as the small dog jumps through.
Asshole:Come on, Captain Jack. We don’t want your dick to fall off before you get topside again, do we?
Kiki:Such a good boy. Taking out the trash for your human.
Hook:Rude. You loved me before, remember?
Kiki:I’m just teasing. Be good to my girl, Cas. Or you’ll answer to me.
Asshole:Can I pee on him just a little, boss?
Hook:If I see that leg lift even a centimeter, I will break it. Don’t test me, dog. You’re adorable, but I know you’ll heal.
Asshole:You do remember who you’re talking to, right? Cause I’ve got three fuckin’ mouths, and I ain’t afraid to use ’em.
Kiki:You sure do, cutie.
Kiki pets Asshole until he’s happily panting against her leg.
Asshole:Ah, yeah. Right there. That’s the spot. Gods, I love you, toots.
Asher returns to the camera shot, eyes wide.
Asher:Okay, so apparently the dog can talk. Great. I’m gonna sign off now before things get even weirder. If that is even fuckin’ possible at this point. Try not to die in the meantime.

SIN
“Holy shit. You weren’t exaggerating when you said the sky was on fire, were you, Chris?” I murmured as we stood outside and stared at the wall of flames streaking across the sky as far as the eye could see. It looked like someone had clawed through the sky like it was a piece of paper and everything on the other side was burning.
“You know what this means, right?” Chaos asked, his eyes also trained upward.
“Uh . . . am I supposed to?”
