Warden 1: Is it recording?

Warden 2: Yeah.

Prisoner: Hey! Hey, what’s going on? Where am I?

Warden 2: You can skip the theatrics, asshole.

Warden 1: That’s not the Exiled One. This is him talking.

Warden 2: Oh shit. Uh, listen, there’s been an accident, and your body is…compromised.

Prisoner: Compromised? What do you me—

[SCREAMING]

Warden 2: What the hell are you doing?

Warden 1: We don’t have time to comfort him!

Prisoner: You two are fucking adorable, thinking your little electric chair is going to do anything. I’ve been around since before electricity FUCKING EXISTED! YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME?

Warden 1: It’s not a normal electric chair. This thing’s a relic. Get back!

[SCREAMING]

Prisoner: Oooh, that reminds me of a story! One day, two little Wardens got in over their heads. Before they knew it, they were dead, and their souls were devoured. THE END!

Warden 1: Get back!

[SCREAMING]

Prisoner: Look at me. When I get out of here, I’m going to tear out your eyes and make you watch while I peel off the layers of your soul. Do you hear me? I SAID LOOK AT ME, YOU FUCKING PARASITES!

[SCREAMING]

Warden 1: Holy shit…

Warden 2: What is it?

Warden 1: It’s dead…

Warden 2: You’re sure it didn’t just flee back to the Abyssal Prison?

Warden 1: This room is a supernatural Faraday cage, kid. It can’t escape.

Warden 2: Holy shit. We did it! We killed one of the Exiled Ones!

Prisoner: And…WE’RE BACK! Come on, kiddos, you didn’t think it would be that easy, did you? I’m A FUCKING GOD! Now come on, let’s party!

Warden 1: You heard the man. Let’s keep going.
