Hypnovember was over. You were taking a chance to enjoy some well earned rest at the local hotel before you head back on the Great Zen back to the world. Only a few more days before you needed to get back to work.
Frida Floreana was talking about a lovely gala to send off the biggest movers and shakers but that wasn't exactly your thing. all that glitz and glam, no doubt it was going to be expensive. She was showing off the biggest names of Cognizant, Ante was in a classic naga lord ceremonial robe, Rockjaw was in an army dress uniform and Dropset was strangely well dressed as well.
Then the TV started to ripple in black and white. the design of the television seemed to regress by several decades. down to a boob tube. It seemed to undulate, like it was enjoying a little dance. A pair of hands pressed to the screen before a Gator squished his face to the edges of its cathode glass, he looked like something out of a Fleischer cartoon.
"HEY HEY HEY Don't touch that dial, Flatfoots! aww, ain'tcha gonna head off to da paaahtee?" There was a laugh track, and the TV was starting to lose some of its color.
"Relaxin' all by yer lonesome? Let Boss Two Tone take care o dat! somebody swell like you oughta get a big laugh!" You knew that name. one of the masterminds from the other year. you stood up and looked toward the door before the black and white spread over towards it. the doorknob grew a tongue and laughed heartily before it pulled a key from it's pocket and locked its face.
"What. You thought you wasn't gonna see me again? I'm hoit!" He reached out with both hands to grip your cheeks, already your eyes were rippling black and white rings. mouth turning into a bean shaped smiled with simple teeth. eyes like tiny pacman shapes. the world started to bounce. You started to bounce. your chest heaving up in size.
"I think we oughtta have one last party on the town, kid. but you gotta dress yer sunday best. lucky for you. I got jus da duds!"
You had a bad feeling about that.... until you suddenly didn't. Boss was always a sharp dressah, boy howdy!
----- Circusfloaty fell in love with the idea of Two tone and his palookas the last time I commissioned them to portray the guy, that they got in their head to draw him yet again!
