MOONLIGHT
Aurora put two chess pieces in the table while looking at her computer.
Aurora:
And so we’re left with Jack Tillman and Mark Storm himself. The final two of The Dynasty.
Carnival:
You googling about them in there?
Aurora:
I’m playing Crusader Kings… I’ve researched them enough. You both need to keep an eye on Storm, and you need to dismantle Tillman. He may be the young one, but he’s the one I’m worried about. Break his legs and arms if you need.
Carnival:
Alright, but about that Storm guy…
Aurora:
We hurt him as well, like we do with everyone.
Carnival:
Right…
Carnival nodded, something seemed to bother her. Nothing ever bothered Carnival. Aurora seemed to have caught that has well.
Aurora:
You’ve… been taking your meds?
Carnival:
Mhmm? Oh, yeah, the last couple of days.
Aurora:
Why?
Carnival never took her meds, and we preferred that way,
Carnival:
Well… Storm takes them as well right? Except during matches, I thought about trying the same thing.
Aurora:
Don’t. Storm isn’t like you. It’s not because he’s a schizophrenic that he’s anything like you. No one is like you.
Carnival:
No one?
Aurora:
No one.
Carnival looked a bit sad for a second. I guess she always wanted someone that would get her. But Dawn’s problems aren’t simply the voices, that’s not what makes Carnival, Carnival. Being her is being unique, unrelatable.
Aurora:
But that’s fine. We’re Masters, we’re all unique, from your insanity, to Moonmoon’s strength, to mom’s ability to drink coffee or aunt Green’s stupidity. We’re all unique, strange, bizarre. Taking those meds isn’t going to work for you, don’t force it. It’s just going to make you get way too depressed and that’s annoying.
Carnival:
But then I’d be normal, people like normal, right?
Aurora:
Right, but fuck people! People hurt us all our lives, they spat on us, they laughed at us, they used us…
Aurora stared at me after that last statement. I knew immediately what she meant. I could point out the irony, or simply punch her face, but decided not to and simply nodded.
Aurora:
People always hated us, so fuck them, fuck Mark Storm and fuck Jack Tillman. Storm ain’t your friend because he can hear voices. They’re still after our titles and they’re going to hurt if you give them the chance.
Look, we all still have our demons very present, but we made something here, we became the LONGEST UKFW Tag Team Champions, because we worked hard as a family. We proved something to everyone back at school hating us and spitting on us.
We made something here, and I want this something to be bigger than this. I want this reign to be the best thing of our lives! So I need you to be you. Be the Doctor Carnival! Go there, wreck havoc, help us prove that you should never mess with The Masters!
Carnival nodded and smiled.
Carnival:
Alright! Tiltwoman, Hurricane! We comin’ to getcha!
