EPISODE 6; EMMA COLETTE IN ‘THE SUBPLOT FILLER ARC’
Ed: That Richfriend! It looks like he went and wrote the finale of Dreamweaver without my authorization.
Emma: Haha, looks like he stepped on the right tiger's tail. (Emma giggles uncontrollably).
Ed: Emma, you…!!!
Emma: It was only a matter of time before it happened. What did you think you were the exception? So what do you plan to do, sue him?
Ed: Emma Emma Emma, my dear dear Emma, you naïve thing. Sue him? I don't think so. Let me teach you a thing or two, I have read his story and I'll have you know it's not bad at all. The guy is a good writer.
Emma: Your point being.
Ed: How many people openly challenge me like this Emma, you know in this world, there aren't many people out there that dare stand against my unstoppable nonsense talk but every once in a while a rare species appears called the homo transcendus also called an enemy worth crushing heheheh!!!
Emma: Let me rephrase what I said earlier…what in a black hole's centre of gravity are you talking about?!
Ed: This kind of enemy requires a special kind of defeat, a defeat that results in my ultimate triumph and their ultimate defeat. A defeat I have invented; I refer to it as… 'The Subplot Filler Arc!'
Emma: Huh? Explain.
Scenario:
Author 1: Finished! I just published my latest work, the Grimweaver Chronicles Book 3! Now to start the marketing.
Two months later:
Author 2: (Sees an ad for the Grimweaver Chronicles). Hey! That's my work! That guy stole my work.
Author 2's friend: That's totally your work dude, you planned to publish it later but it's out there already, your loss dude. That guy's gonna profit from your hard work.
Author 2: Heh! You naïve thing! Why do you think I am an author? I have an advantage he does not, my style plus I have another advantage, 'The Subplot Filler Arc!' All I have to do to beat him…is…
Three months later:
Boy: Have you read the Grimweaver Chronicles Book 4 and 5? They continue from where Book 3 left off and the author wrote another book entitled the True Story Three where he wrote Book 3 off as a filler arc. Apparently, skipping that title doesn't mess up the storyline at all.
Girl: But that Book 3 was really interesting, it's hard to believe it was all just filler.
Boy: Not just filler, more like a subplot filler since it does contain some plot elements if you read it carefully. It's not a bad book. It's just unnecessary.
Scenario end.
Ed: Thus…the subplot filler arc!
Emma: Ed, there be a lot of things I can say about this but I'll just reserve my comments.
Ed: As you always do. Now it's time to beat Richfriend.
Emma: Then you'll be really sorry to hear what I have to say Ed.
Ed: What?
Scenario: Narrated By Emma
Days Ago:
(Fishy Whisker, Ed and Benjamin Zuzuzuzu were hanging out together in a pub).
Ed: There hasn't been a worthy adversary in a while. I need to crush someone!
Ben: If there isn't a worthy adversary, why don't you try some image training? Ninja do it all the time.
Ed: Image training. Like shadow boxing? Interesting, in other words…invent an enemy.
Emma: What crazy minds do when they have free time on their hands.
Ed: A good idea, I shall invent the ultimate adversary (drunk on malt) and defeat him! I shall call him Richfriend Seeker…and then I shall forget that he exists so that I can have a fun time duking it out with him! Better to think that there is an actual foe out there than delude myself into fighting myself!
Scenario End.
Ed: No…I wasn't supposed to remember! Emma how dare you destroy my delusions! How dare you open my eyes?! Richfriend was supposed to be the ultimate rival.
Emma: But I must say, there was one trait you actually had that was peculiar to you when you were playing Richfriend. Your Arcadios! You really had the ability to mirror your identity and create a periscope! (LOL!). To think you could create a mirror of yourself that didn't reflect you, in a crazy way you are a genius!
Moral Lesson: Don't go creating enemies when there are none to fight. You might just find a worthy adversary in yourself.
