Astral Destruction

[ Clementine and Mae appear on the screen. It’s a little girl and a cat girl. They’re standing in a room on the first floor. Clem has a crowbar in her hand, slung over her shoulder. Mae has her trusty baseball bat and a very cat-that-got-the-canary grin on her face.]

Hey, so… Mae told me about how she breaks shit sometimes and how it’s… cathartic? [ that’s the word she used, right? ] And I tried it with a light bulb. It felt pretty damn awesome so we thought it might be cool to have an official place where people could break stuff whenever they needed to deal with bullshit.

[Mae immediately picks up the thread, grinning wide.]

So we are super effing pleased to introduce…The Destruction Room.

[She pans the camera over to the sign on the door. It’s generic and straight to the point. Then she pans the camera around to take in the room. There’s rows of shelves filled with china plates, vases, glass figurines and other fragile-looking items. Along the walls are dozens of light fixtures and free-standing lamps, as well as just a metric ton of lightbulbs, both fluorescent and incandescent. All of it is very precariously displayed and it looks like it wouldn’t take much to just knock some of these shelves right over.]

Isn’t it amazing? We stocked it with everything that could possibly go smash.

[Clementine gestures then to have Mae pan the camera toward the wall on the side which has a giant weapon rack with every blunt weapon imaginable from bats to maces to hammers and more. ]

Over on this wall, we’ve got every blunt weapon you can think of so you can really make the breakables crack into a hundred awesome pieces. Also, it’s on the first floor, room 4 so if you hit yourself in the foot or get glass stuck in your arm or something, the clinic’s right next door.

Yeah, we pretty much thought of everything. Because we’re awesome.

[Mae holds out her hand to Clementine for a high-five. Clementine leans over, high fiving her back, with a smile. Totally awesome. ]

Anyway, yeah, come on down and get your smash on. Work out some of that pre-event anxiety or whatever.

[Cool. Awesome. He loves getting called a gnome.]

Yeah, I uh. Get that...a lot. It's a long story? Or, maybe not that long. It's a Halloween costume. ...The rest of it's a long story though.

[You know, since it's not Halloween anymore. At least it didn't come up when he was dying, but it's not a topic that could have been avoided forever.]

Oh, really?

[Honestly, it's the first time someone's actually liked his costume, or understood it as a Halloween costume without making fun of him. It's kind of nice.

But he looks over at the weapons, and hesitates.
]

Uh...I guess...err.

[He goes for a bat. It seems like a nice middle-of-the-road option. Then he looks at Mae like "is this okay?"]

Pfft. Yeah. Super lame. That's not what Halloween's about anyway.

[It's something that bugs Wirt about the holiday, and takes all of the fun out of things.

He still seems unsure about the violence, but...after a moment of pause he decides it's just easiest to do what she's told him to do and he swings the bat right into the middle of the tower. It shatters the middle row on impact,
and then the top crashes into the bottom, taking down the whole thing.

...Wirt honestly looks shocked he actually did it.
