"Gilmore vs. The Vixen Queen!" Chapter 22-- "Enter The Otter!"
Announcer-- "As we join the Vixen Queen, she is entering the den of the Evil-Lair (tm) and going through her mail. She is surprised to find she has.........a visitor!"
VQ: *mumbling to herself* "Bill, bill, subscription renewal for "Better Evil Lairs and Gardens", Evil Hudson Bay Co. catalogue..... Mr Chitters! Did you send in the Evil Publisher's Clearing House entry like I asked you to?"
Mr. C: "Yes Mistress! I also got you a subscription to "Villainess Quarterly", it was on sale."
VQ: "Very good. Now I ..*cough hack*....Wait a minute, why is it foggy in here? And who's playing "Harlem Nocturne"?
Mr. C: "I'm not sure, *cough cough*, but the guy in the trench-coat and Fedora hat leaning on that lamp-post next to the chesterfield might have something to do with it."
Announcer: "There, in the middle of the den, there stands a shadowy figure, dressed in black! The Queen addresses him."
VQ: "Ahhh, Carvellis De Monoculo, I presume."
CDM: " The one, and only."
VQ: "Nice entrance."
Mr. C: "Yes! Great ambiance!"
CDM: "Ah yes, do you like it?"
VQ: "I'll give you points for style, but where did you get the 40's style lamp post? And more importantly, how did you get it in here?"
CDM: "It was not easy. Your minions helped me, but I had to pay them time and a half. Running the gas-line to it was the hard part!"
Mr. "The background music is a nice touch too! Just like in "Chinatown" or "The Maltese Falcon"!"
VQ: *slightly annoyed* "SPEAKING of which............"
CDM: "Oh! Yes! *turns to the jazz quartet behind the credenza* "Okay boys, knock it off. We're losing the effect!"
VQ: "And that blasted fog is ruining my wallpaper!"
CDM: " And kill the fog machine too, guys!"
VQ: *turning the lights back up* "Okay, now that that's over, I have a job for you, Carvellis. An IMPORTANT job"
CDM: "But of course! Why else would you have called up the one and only Carvellis De Monoculo?"
Mr. C: "Gesundheit!"
VQ: *snickers* "Oooh, snap!"
CDM: *ahem* "Now, which of my evil-services did your majesty require?"
VQ: "Just one, my amphibious friend. Just one................." *wringing her paws evilly*
Announcer: "What evil plans (tm) does the Vixen Queen have in store for our hero? What will the world's most infamous otter-assassin cook up? All this, and more in our next jam-packed episode!!!"
Mr. C. "Damn! A cliff-hanger! I knew it!"
VQ *under her breath* "Cool it Chitters! You know as well as I do that the writer only has a half-hour for lunch!"
*theme music fades out*
