Searcher, the "evil twin" of Wanderer (he's very very smooth and uses a quarterstaff) has decided to take over the Mystery Octagon Theater theater sometime durring the reign of the MMK while he is away. He intends to trap Wanderer there for unknown purposes (we can make all kinds of guesses, though...) but first he needs guinea pigs.
About this time, a very down on his luck musician who calls himself eonsinger is wandering the streets of Dream City, looking for somewhere, anywhere, that will take his music. This includes the Bleeding Basalisk, and hilarity ensues. Still looking for a gig, eon walks into Torture Theater. Searcher decides to take the young man on as his sidekick.
Elsewhere, in another demention, a certain teen-age psychotic psyonic decides, because he is on fire, to go demention hopping. (Hey, he's psychotic. It doesn't have to make sense.) He picks Dream City, and manages to barely put himself out by blasting himself with a fire extinguisher. Telekinetically. Very soon after, however, "Thief"'s Multiple Personality Disorder sets in, and he relinquishes control to "Brandt", the most gentle and innocent young 15-year-old you will ever meet just as Robert Kelly, a teenage techhead, walks by and happens to point out to the kid that, hey, he's smoldering. Brandt promptly puts himself out "again," then asks Robbie exactly where he is supposed to be. Robbie informs him where he is, and Brandt says that he is trying to find a quiet place to rest. Robbie shows Brandt a newspaper. In it is an ad for Torture Theater, and a very thinly vailed one at that. Robbie and Brandt, under the impression that they are being paid to warm some antique theater chairs and get paid for it, take off for the place on the run.
A human with demon blood ("demonling"), Demonicuss Krinn, is luered to Torture Theater by Searcher who impersonates Samas, who is apparently Krinn's good friend. As he is bracing himself to enter the theater, however, he fails to look both ways while crossing the street. Aaand... FooooomCRUNCH, he is hit by a van.
This van, coincidentally, is carrying two members of the "MMKult", a group of people devoted to the MMK. These two particular MMKultists are Kaophere Tamadashi Serai, a 15-year-old girl with a six-foot-long staff, two huge Glocks, and a hammerspace-capable jacket who is fully devoted to the MMK, and Ice Fenix, a pot-smoking iniciate who is somewhat of a skeptic. They were going to Torture Theater to meet the MMK, and maybe be tortured by him with fanfics.
Krinn, meanwhile, has had his top half turned a perfect 180 degrees from his bottom half by the van, and is in some pain. Ice and Kaophere help him into the theater, whereupon Kao's addiction to Canadian smarties kicks in and she dropps the unfortunate demonling on his head, snapping a vertibrae, and starts chaoing down. Krinn, however, doesn't seem to particularly mind as he mends all of the damage within a few minutes. He starts looking for Samas, only to find Brandt and Robbie.
t.ogre, a very large wrestler who has a vitriolic hatred for the rock and is not in any way a Falconer pallot-swap, is dropped off at Torture Theater by a cabbie who takes off without asking for the payment. t.ogre is here because he has, for whatever reasons, been scheduled to fight there in the Octagon Rumble. Disgusted with his booking agents, t.ogre walks inside...
...unaware that he has a shadow. Lance Walker, an anthropomorphic red fox with a large kitana and an even more vitriolic hatred of puns, is looking down upon the wrestler from the walls. He has been following the man for three weeks after he made quite possibly one of the worst puns in history. He leaps down into the theater and begins shoving people out of his way to murder the wrestler for his transgression... and is knocked down by Kaophere, who begins interrogating him. Before they can get anywhere, however, Searcher decides that 7 victems is enough, thank you muchly, and seals the theater. The seven are now forced to watch the fanfic "Damsals Of [sick] Distress", by "James". No, not Ryoga, the James that got MiSTed in Elmer. Thank you. In their first "break" which Searcher allows them so that they may get a "small, tantalizing bit of fredom" before the pain is to start anew, the cast members perform the scene from RESERVOIR DOGS wherein the robbery of the bank is discussed. Naturally, things don't go that well. In the confusion, no one realizes that Brandt, t.ogre and Krinn have gone missing until the door becomes stuck on them.
In the lobby, Thief is performing the cop torture scene from the same movie on t.ogre. Just before he throws the match, however, he is tackled by Demonicuss Krinn, who has become emotionally distraught because he wanted to be the cop. Thief agrees to set the scene up again later, and they both walk off marrily just as the dropped match ignites the gasoline that was slowly making its way towards it. t.ogre is extinguished, but not before his shirt becomes burned off. (Kao gives him another one from her jacket.) Everyone goes back into the theater a little madder than before, and the torture continues anew for quite a long time, until Searcher must leave for a moment, leaving eonsinger in charge.
At this point, Kao wants to kill Thief for making her shot at Lance miss and hit the smarties cart in the back, Robbie wants to kill Lance for breaking his glasses, Lance wants to kill t.ogre because of the pun and Kaophere for trying to shoot him, Thief wants everyone dead (but, then again, he's Thief.) and Krinn wants Brandt to make the sower patch kids dance. It is at this point that eon decides to make the entire group sing an adaption of _STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU_, which relates to their current situations. They do, indeed, sing. At gunpoint. eon then decides that the next course of action is... carioke. Robbie sings _WHAT'S MY AGE AGAIN?_ (blink-182), Brandt sings THE DOPE SHOW (Mechanical Animals), Ice sings--wait for it--_ICE, ICE BABY_ (help me out here, will you? I don't know the singer. Sad is me.), t.ogre sings I WILL REMEMBER YOU (Sarah McLaughlin), Thief and Kao sing MY HEART HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN (<blank>), and Lance sings WET DREAM (Kip Addotta). And last, but not least, Krinn is forced to sing the Hallelujah chorus. He, being a demonling, bursts into flames. At this point (after Krinn is put out) Searcher returns, and they are forced to watch the rest of the fanfic.
Once it completes, and everyone is happy for it is over and they can all leave, Searcher cheerfully informs them that, no, they are not allowed to leave, and there are simply hundreds of bad fanfics to put up. Everyone decides that suicide is the only way out. They are just preparing to enact it, when they get a reprieve. The MMK has heard that Searcher is using his theater, and he is kinda mad. But loonilly mad. Of course. The riffers are allowed into the lobby while Searcher decides to activate the TTD, a device that can (and is in this case) be used to teleport the entire theater into another plain of existance. Unfortunately, eon gets confused, and somehow manages to rupture the nuclear reactor that is powering the theater. A huge, yellow, irradiated steam cloud begins heading for the riffers from a huge hole in the floor. The riffers briefly begin making their peace with whatever diaties they may or may not worship and cluster around the fire exit, which to their surprise they find unlocked as the power locks have disengaged from the power outage. To their frustration and chagrin, however, the "fire exit" in fact leads to a broom closet. However, behind a false wall at the back of it is a door, leading to MMK's dungeon of doom and death (TM). After they go through several highly-entertaining rooms (in one of which they meet "the Phils," some of the creepiest janitors alive), they end up going right past the exit and come up against a brick wall. The steam, naturally, has followed them still and begins encroaching upon them once again.
Meanwhile, up in the control booth, Searcher has been using the "alternate power source" (Harvey the Wonder Hamster on his wonderful hamster wheel) to power up the TTD so they can get out of there. At the same time, Brandt has been gathering his energies frantically in order to teleport himself out of the theater, and take as many people as he can. This ends up being "2, maybe 3 people." It is unsure whom he would have chosen (though it quite likely might have been t.ogre, at least) but it does not matter. For Brandt and the TTD begin folding the fabric of spacetime at the precise same instant.
Hilarity ensues.
