Capítulo 16: Chapter 16: Owl Pellets
Cornholio went to face the crowd as the screen stopped after the end credits, "How about I give you all an extra treat before we move on to the next episode?" Cornholio asked and the happy murmurs showed that the audience was happy with the idea. "Like some Owl Pellets?" Cornholio asked and the reply was some disgusted sounds from the audience.
"Yummy!" Hooty shouted excitedly.
"I wouldn't mind a taste... Ouch!" Edric said before getting his foot stepped on by his glaring sister.
"Let me explain myself; I mean Owl Pellets as in 1 minutes shorts with 5 in total that Disney released online. Just something extra." Cornholio chuckled with his arms folded and mostly everyone thinking why not.
"I get to lead a Disney show that has online tie in material; can this get any better?" Luz asked excitedly.
"How long are we going to be here; by my count we have already been here for more than 3 hours!" Amity asked speaking up with audience members in agreement.
"Look I promise you that after the next episode you will have a break with toilets available and though you will be leaving with your memories intact; you will be going back to the exact millisecond you were taken from your own dimension. Even those taken at different times." Cornholio explained and he realised he had said too much with some muttering.
"I just remembered and I had too much on my mind to say it before but it was just before I was taken that I had decided to go get Luz in order to drive her to Camp myself. I was wondering how Luz seemed to have already been through the events of the first few episodes." Camilla muttered with Luz's eyes widening.
"Why on Earth would you take my Mum from another time and anyone else?" Luz asked in disbelief as Cornholio looked frustrated.
"Looked things happen and I had to make do when things in your normal timeline happen differently to what I had anticipated so I had to work around it." Cornholio said with a raised voice.
"How could you not know what happens? I thought you were an all powerful being who are showing us the episodes of the unchanged future in the first place?" Willow asked and Cornholio deliberately ignored her as he faced the crowd.
He was thinking about how unknown to everyone this was like his 14th attempt at getting things right... Originally Luz and Camila had a big freak out when Luz was confused about Camila picking her up so he erased their memories and sent them back. It was the reason why he had brought Camila to have her own private viewing of the first two episodes, so she would have more time to process it.
"Here is your first short entitled Welcome to Hexside." Cornholio introduced.
King is on the couch in the Owl House with chips snacks flipping through the channels of the crystal ball starting with a romance between someone and an eyed headed being, a detective story and then finally showing Principal Bump.
"Aw, I rather like the movie..." Willow said disappointed looking at the detective scene that King passed during his channel surfing.
"You use crystal balls as TVs and they use remote controls? I have so many questions..." Camila muttered.
"You get used to it; there is this adorable show that they have called the Raven Home where this witch gets trapped in the human world. They get a lot of things wrong about humans but it's fun!" Luz told her with agreements from the show's fans in the crowd.
Bump closed a book at his desk saying hi to the viewers and he didn't see them there; he introduces himself and welcomes them to Hexside School of Magic & Demonics where the students safety and well being are their top priority just as a giant tentacle outside smacks Mattholomule from his broom to his window.
"Oh man I hated taking part in this!" Mattholomule muttered remembering when they were filming this, some other students laughed not really being sympathetic thanks to seeing his behaviour on screen.
"This ad representing our esteemed school was worthy every Snail!" Bump said proudly as the humans rolled their eyes at the tentacle.
Bump says to take a tour as it cuts to the trophy case where Bump said that at Hexside they are devoted to providing the best for their students, it cuts to the state of the art classrooms where there are glowing spiders which attacks Mattholomule and brings him up by the web.
Mattholomule just cried at this, "It's not like they harmed you that much! True you had to be sent to the nurse's office but that was more about you falling from the web than anything they physically did to you!" Bump told him as if he was crying about nothing.
It cuts to the award winning cafeteria where a bandaged armed Mattholomule is sitting with Bo and he is served a dish title ''healthy food"'.
The humans were almost ready to cover their eyes.
He puts up the case nervously and is relieved to see normal looking food as a giant flower from Bo's salad attacks him.
"You serve that in the cafeteria? I don't want to tell you how to run your own school Mr Bump but I am pretty sure that I shouldn't have food served in the cafeteria that could attack the students!" Hal yelled in disbelief.
"If you leave the flower bits alone, it's rather tasty!" Bo said in defence of the meal.
At the front of the school Mattholomule falls down as Bump says that every student has the ability and support to reach their full potential there, he finishes it by saying that at Hexside the magic of friendship is no longer taught there due to budget constraints.
"Shame, I loved those classes..." moaned Steve and Lilith remembering the classes fondly as well.
"I have to say that if I wasn't showed the episodes and just told about what happened and then shown the ad then I would never have allowed Luz to ever go near the school again." admitted Camila and Luz knew she had a point. "The clips where a student gets something happen to him every time? Why did you go with those?" Camila asked in disbelief as Bump coughed.
"Those were the tamer clips we made; the director got fed up and quit and since we didn't have enough in the budget to hire a replacement we had to make do with what we had..." Bump explained as Camila had her mouth wide open.
"The next one is Eda's Cursed Breath." said Cornholio as people wondered what was going to happen in this one.
Luz puts a drawing she made of her, Eda and King with sunglasses on the fridge thinking that it's pretty good.
"Luz is quite an artist; I never heard any complaints from her art teacher." Camila smiled proudly.
"A fun hobby I am quite proud of..."Luz smiled.
Eda asked what she used to draw this and Luz goes into an explanation about a misconception about the tools being an important part of the creative process as long as they mastered the basics.
The residents of the Boiling Isles batted an eye and the human students from Luz's art class moaned about getting lectures from her before.
Luz pulls out Eda's lipstick from her hair and draws Eda on her hand.
"Lipstick being kept on your hair?" someone questioned as Eda ignored it.
Luz says that you could use anything to make a good drawing as she uses different things to make drawings. It ends with a pancake drawing of Azura which blinks.
"You think we could try drawing together?" Amity asked Luz quietly and she smiled.
Luz excitedly poses saying that you could make fine art out of anything, Eda explains that she mostly asked because she left a cursed pencil lying around somewhere as they see there are the drawings of them and King missing with glowing shaped holes around where they used to be.
Camila sighed as she glared at Eda, "You left a cursed pencil just lying around? Seriously Edalyn; I think this is just one of several examples of why you should not be teaching any youth anything!" Lilith said with her arms folded.
Drawing Luz picks up a knife and jumps down as Drawing Eda picks up the Azura pancake and puts it into the blender putting it on. Drawing King picks up a skull and smashes it.
Luz shrinks at the scenario that she had caused.
Luz thinks that it does matter what tool you use as the drawings are wreaking havoc and Luz misses the knife being thrown as Eda says that she will get the paper shredder.
"Have to admit that would be fun chaos..." King laughed.
"Okay now let's continue exploring our artistic sides as the next one is Paint Scare." Cornholio said.
Out in the forest Luz dressed in paint gear is with King as they are working on their paint canvases, Luz says that when they got there she thought that things were scary, stinky or both but she learned to see the beauty in anything by getting outside painting nature.
Luz smiled remembering when she started recently doing that herself.
King goes up on Luz's shoulders and asks who the white eyed black creature is in Luz's painting. Luz says that it's just bushes looking like a dark mysterious figure but looks to see that it's not there. She looks again to see that the figure has grown closer.
Suddenly things became tense and Camila pulled Luz closer, "I think there is a paint demon that can do this... Show up in unsuspecting artist' work before coming closer from behind..." Bump said.
Luz is scared as she looks and still sees nothing and thinks it's just her imagination getting away from her and tells herself to only paint what she sees. King scared tells Luz and she sees the figure having a sign saying that he's behind them, they looked behind them and there is a shadow.
Luz was now being hugged harder as people were now scared.
Luz and King are underneath a blanket fort in her room in the Owl House scared as Luz gets a light glyph. She draws on a notebook along with a pencil saying that sometimes you can find beauty in the safety of your own bed. The scene of underneath the fort in the room is now being painted by the figure on a canvas in the forest.
The audience blinked not sure what to make of what they had just seen, "I am now convinced that someone spiked the apple blood that I had during the break and the effects are only now kicking in..." Eda muttered.
"Okay after that... 'interesting' short let's conclude this three parter on art with Art Lessons with Luz." Cornholio said.
"So just like in the first one?" someone asked.
In the living room of the Owl House there is Luz still in the gear from the last short with a paper canvas with giant crayons, King is there asking her how she does so good. Luz is glad that he asked the question and says that drawing can be fun if you know a few tricks, she draws a few shapes representing King saying that is how she likes to draw characters.
"Perhaps I should ask the art teacher if he would be interested in having you as a teaching assistant?" Bump asked out loud as Luz was excited, "You can even substitute and save me some snails by not hiring an actual subistute..." Bump muttered.
"What was that? It sounded like you wanted to use Luz for cheap child labour!" Camila snapped as Bump looked down.
"Now that she is moving onto judging other people so her judging me is going down." Eda smirked.
"Don't worry Eda as I am sure in future episodes you will give me plenty of stuff to judge!" Camila replied as Eda had her arms folded.
She then shows the shapes representing Eda and then says that Hooty is really easy as he is just a circle and a tube.
"So realistic." King said as some humans shook their heads.
King calls it realistic as the actual Hooty comes in asking what they are up to and sees his drawing.
"Oh no... I am getting flashbacks to when he first saw his reflection in a mirror..." Eda muttered as people were now becoming scared.
"WHY ARE THERE TWO OF ME ON THE SCREEN? I AM FREAKING OUT NOW!" Hooty shouted as Luz had to calm him down along with Camila.
Hooty stares at it with Luz hesitatingly asking Hooty; Hooty hisses at the drawing and asks the drawing who it is as it is his territory. He starts attacking the canvas as Luz tries to get him to stop.
"Sorry Luz, I can get territorial hoot-hoot!" Hooty said apologetically as Luz hugs him and Amity looked at them hesitatingly.
Hooty is now on the couch next to drawings of Luz and King thanking them for calming him down back there as he can get a little territorial.
Some were shaking their head at the gullibility of Hooty.
King and Luz are behind a corner as King comments that Hooty had been talking to the drawings for 7 hours and Luz says the magic of drawing good proportions makes it look real. Hooty notices them and asks who they are freaking out as they go to hide.
Hooty was being calmed down before he could freak out again, "Well Hooty can be weird but would you believe he fronts the interdimensional singing group Hooty & the Parliament Owls Angelic?" Cornholio asked as most were staring at him in disbelief and some were asking if he was just joking.
"It's true but we had to split up for a while due to some disagreements about the future direction of our band hoot-hoot!" Hooty said as some stared at him.
"You live on my door Hooty so how could you... Never mind, this is more entertaining the thought than it deserves." Eda said.
"Now here is our final Owl Pellet: Coven Lovin Soap Opera." Cornholio said as some rolled their eyes.
King is changing channels on the crystal ball as Luz is sitting on the couch, it comes to the epic return of Bleeding Hearts the epic romance with King frustrated but Luz is interested.
There were happy cheers from the non Hexside residents of the Boiling Isles but moans from Eda, King, the teens and children. "The plot twists and the drama; this is a show not to be missed!" Lilith excitedly said as Eda shook her head.
Arabella is met with a suit on his knee saying that if she marries him then their families will be the most powerful in the land plus he is super rich. Then an egg shaped suitor comes saying that he maybe a lonely stable boy but their future could be sunny side up. Rolled out on a hospital table is Arabella's mother who tries to tell her one final thing before she dies. Arabella cries for her mother as the first suitor cries diamonds and the other cries eggs.
"What... Even is this?" Camila cried out in confusion as well as the other humans as Luz and most of the non adults were bored but King was now into it.
"I don't expect your feeble human mind to comprehend the complex brilliance that is Bleeding Hearts." Lilith said as Camila glared at her.
"Be honest Mama, it's makes just as much sense as the soaps that you watch." Luz told Camila and Camila hated that it seemed that she physically couldn't retort against what her daughter said.
Luz now disinterested changes the channel and King rushes to the crystal ball picking it up demanding to know what happens next. Luz puts it back on the channel and the narrator said that the final episode is concluded. King throws it to the ceiling as Luz decides to tell him about fan fiction.
"You definitely know a lot about that Mija." Camila smiled thinking of the stories that Luz had showed her as Eda was yelling at King asking if he knows how expensive the crystal balls are.
"Now that we have that taken care of, please remain seated as this is the final episode before the next break which is special since it was the first one that I had watched myself." Cornholio said.
