LODOWN- [S] Begin Intermission 2

Zoom out from some curtains, a bright shade of red
There's a gearframe with pool balls in the clock hands' stead
The curtains then part; a green server revealed
It floats in the Furthest Ring, quite well concealed
The method LE uses to enter varies
In this universe, its the program this carries
Its coding states that at the universe's demise
The command "THIS.DIE()" runs and... well, something dies

Our screen fills with billiard balls, leaving no space
The Felt's lord and master will now show his face

A wrecked apartment floats in green hot spacetime
The remains of a mansion of organized crime
Inside lies a green, damaged, plush puppet man
His death had always been the key to his plan
Fitting for a code that's so short and so small
To be killing a being who's a mere four feet tall

In the back of the room lies a grandfather clock
The cueball topped pendulum bob goes t1CK t0ck

And so it begins as the man's arm grows out
At the end of each finger, serrated claws sprout
The process continues as the puppet's leg grows
From the miniature shoe burst three monstrous toes
Out the severed leg's end comes a bloody green stump
Red falls as a hand hits the floor with a thump
Scratch's suit shreds as the body inside
Swells and grows larger, quite tall and quite wide
A golden peg leg takes his missing leg's place
While the hands of the clock spin backwards on its face
The Cairo Overcoat, draped atop the fourth wall
Disappears as if it was never there at all
A ship crashes through and the screen flashes white
On the clock's pendulum we see fractures of light
The coat reappears on the not-Scratch's back
Much like the clock, his head's started to crack
Not-Scratch rises up as the cueball H34D 8r8ks
From inside of Doc Scratch, Lord English awakes

His coat flashes off, now a sarcophagus
It closes on him, flashes bright green, and thus
It time travels away, and inside LE sounds
A huge and deep honk; the one note surrounds
He repeats a new HONK, louder still than the last
One might even say it's THE Honk of the Vast
Around Alternia pool balls spin ever faster
As LE travels back to become the Felt's master

I suppose you may have a few questions right now.
Scratch just became English; and you may ask "How?"
Doc Scratch always had Lord English at his center.
For this version of him, Scratch was needed to enter.
Please remember that the duty Scratch embraced the most
Was to even in death be an excellent host.
