Chapitre 2, Bonus Epeisode

The hidden talent contest went on.
"Give a round of applause for our next contestant, Disciple Rift!"
No one except Mary applauded as Kedde passed the mike to a teenage girl in a gray hoodie. She had short, disheveled hair and faint bags under her eyes, which looked like they belonged to a dead fish. Standing onstage with a slouch, she reached into her trouser pocket, pulled out a piece of paper, and read aloud in a deadpan voice.
"What do you call a short fortune teller who's on the run?"
She gazed distantly at the audience, as if begging someone to save her from saying the punchline.
Either nobody knew the punchline, or they didn't want to spare her.

"A small medium at large."

The crowd was silent. Disciple stared at the audience as if daring them to laugh.
"Pfffffffftttttttt!!!!"
Like a used car engine, a girl with purple hair sputtered into hysterical laughter, guffawing and switching between hugging her stomach and slapping her knees. "Get it?" She elbowed a tall, muscular man sitting next to her. "She's a fortune teller, so she's a medium, and she's a criminal, so she's pffftttHAHAHA!"
The man gave a forced smile.
Disciple trudged off the stage with her lifeless fish eyes as Kedde announced, "Thank you, Disc. Now for our next contestant, Micah Blackwood!"
A young man with light skin and pink hair walked onstage. He smiled casually at the crowd as he spoke, "A vulture walks into an airport."
"Oh, no, not another one," said the heckling Asian man as he facepalmed.
"As it pays for its plane ticket, the receptionist notices that the vulture is carrying a dead raccoon and asks, 'Would you like to check that through as luggage?' The vulture responds:"

"'No thanks, this is carrion.'"

The crowd was silent as a grave. The silence felt thick enough to cut with a knife and spread on toast.
"Pffffffffffffffffttttttttttt!!!!!"
Again, the purple-haired girl revved up and burst into hysterics. "Get it?" She jabbed her elbow into the bodybuilder's ribs again. "Carrion, carry-on? AHAHAHHH!!"
The man both smiled and cringed, neither of which was from the elbow.
Micah looked at a dark-skinned woman with curly hair sitting in the front row. She simply facepalmed and shook her head.
*If you click the pilcrow (backwards P) at the top-right corner, you can view the entry with indented paragraphs. I recommend doing that, because I don't want to go back and add a new line to every single paragraph. Meow :3

This is a random story that takes place during my entry for round two of :iconhousemates-oct: This bonus episode is completely pointless, but I wrote it anyway. :iconslowpokeplz:

I picked Micah for this scene because his reference sheet said that he liked puns. :meow:
I also picked Disc because she seemed like the kind of person who can do one thing really well and doesn't bother to put effort in anything else. :iconslowpokeplz:
I found both of these jokes ten years ago in an issue of Boys' Life.
