Azrael Abyss: We have petitioned the dark forces of the student council.. To let us have our own…. Fearful…. Fiendish….

Circe & Azreal: Prom of Doom! [ walking next to the door that says Prom of Doom written on it ]

Azrael Abyss: Follow, Follow, Follow, if you dare.. [ Prom of Doom sign falls down and reveals the word Custodian underneath ] Never mind that.

Azrael Abyss: Enter our solarium of the sinister….. Oh…… [ bumps foot ] Oh!

Circe nightshade: Come, Come, Come, Come….

[ The room is dark, full of candles and Goths with the boiler in the background ]

Azrael Abyss: Alright, It’s actually the boiler room, but it’s very evil. It’s hot and it smells like the sulfery fumes of hell.

Mr. Fontain: Yeah. Sorry about that kids. That’s the boiler. Ya know when it gets goin’, Uh, it really starts to smell like farts.

Circe nightshade: Uh, that’s the custodian, Mr. Fontain. He’s uh, kind of Goth.
