"I think I'll go with All You Can Eat," you say. "Only $15 for an even 60."

You all walk inside and follow the little rope path to the counter.

"Welcome to Streetwise Diner," the cashier says. "What would you like to order?"

"Four All You Can Eat buffets," you say.

"One Street Burger, medium well with curly fries," Robin says.

"And an order of chicken strips, with sweet and sour dipping sauce, and regular fries," Raven says.

"Oh, and all Coke," you say.

"Is Pepsi okay?" they ask.

"Yes," you say, "that's fine."

The cashier types in the prices and the cash register gives the total.

$92.85

You bring out $100 in $20 bills, and pay the bill. You get $7.15 and the receipt, and put that away in your wallet.

"The drinks, Street Burger and chicken strips will take some time," the cashier says, "but the All You Can Eat buffet is open, so go right ahead and get whatever you like."

Beast Boy leads the way as he, Cyborg and Starfire hurry over to the rows of buffet serving tables.

"We'll go get a booth," Robin says as he and Raven head off.

"Okay," you say. "I'll make sure to grab everyone utensils.

You follow where Beast Boy and the others went, and start with the plates and utensils. You grab up plenty of the plastic forks, knives and spoons for you, Robin and Raven, then continue down the way to the food.

You see all sorts of bins full of all sorts of food, and all with their own tongs for grabbing up what you want. You start with a soft biscuit of bread, then some fried shrimp, fried chicken drumsticks, some Buffalo Wings, meatballs, French fries, a half-cob of corn, and a thick slice of ham.

You catch up to the others, and see they have all of that and even more. Beast Boy swapped out all the meat for extra vegetables and salad, while Cyborg went all meat. Starfire just has double of everything, including a second plate to hold it all.

You four go over to where Robin and Raven are. They're sitting opposite of each other, so you slide in next to Raven while Starfire slides next to Robin. Beast Boy sits by Starfire while Cyborg sits by you. A waiter walks over with drinks while you four start eating.

"Six Pepsis," he says as he puts them on the table.

"Thank you," you say as you pass a straw down to Raven.

The waiter leaves as you put your straw in your cup and take a sip.

While you eat, waiting for Raven's and Robin's orders, you notice Raven glancing at your plate.

"Do you want something from my plate?" you ask.

"If that's alright with you," she shrugs.

"Here," you say as you hold out a fry.

"Thank you," she says as she takes it.

Raven quickly eats it, and Starfire looks at her two, fully loaded plates, and then at Robin.

"Robin, would you like to share in what I have selected?" she asks.

"No, i-it's fine," he says. "I can wait."

Starfire seems disappointed that was his answer, but goes back to eating without another word. Robin's Street Burger and Raven's order of chicken strips eventually arrive, and they finally get to eat.

"I was thinking when we get back," you say to Raven, "and while my laundry is in the wash, we could..."

A then B

"Review what you've learned. We can start with my family, then move on to the suitors."

"Well why wait?" she says. "We can start some of that now."

"Are you sure? We're eating."

"No, it's fine," she says as she dips a chicken strip in her dip. "Your sisters are Rebecca and Roselind, and they call each other Becca and Rose for short. Your parents are... Rachel and Ron...? Ronald!"

"Good, good," you nod as you stick your fork into a meatball. "Keep going."

"Obviously your grandfather is Rorek VI," she says as you eat the meatball, "but you like to call him 'Sixth'. And Grandmother... Ruth. Then Uncle Ro... Ross?"

"No that's one of my cousins."

"Shoot. Cousin Ross and his brother, Reed."

"Correct."

"So then their father is Uncle... Rod? No, Roger. And Aunt... Rita."

"Very good," you say as you stab another meatball. "Think of other details."

"Alright," she nods while you chew. "Your father is the current head of the Null Family company, and technically head of the family since you're his son. The Null Family main branch flows through your grandfather to you."

"Keep going," you say as you put some ketchup on your plate for your fries.

"Your grandfather met Grandma Ruth during World War II, he was in the army and she was a nurse," she says as you dip a few fries together. "He stood up to the family and the traditions and chose her over all his possible suitors, and they accepted. Your father ended up going back to the tradition, but it's okay because he really did fall in love with Rachel.

"Um... Cousin Ross is older than you, and cousin Reed is older than your sisters," she continues while absentmindedly dipping more of her strip. "They... Actually I don't really know what magics they're skilled in."

"Oh, that's alright," you say. "You won't have to worry about dueling them or anything. Use that to move on to the suitors."

"Well, there's like 20 of them," she says with a surly tone. "But only 13 of them are from magical families. There's Renee the overachiever, Ruby the Summoner, Roxanne the... I don't know what to call it but she's good with Disorientation magic. There's two Robertas, Rivers and Rhodes. Rivers is the Druid, Rhodes is the Jewelcrafter.

"There's... Well, there's 13 schools within the families, so there's an Illusionist, the Autonomist, the Sound magic specialist, the Binding specialist, Enchanter, Alchemist, Transformation specialist, and Healer."

"It'd do you some good to remember their names," you say. "They'll be less likely to challenge you if you're nice to them."

"Raven's doomed," Beast Boy chuckles.

"As much as I don't want to admit it," Raven grumbles, "he's got a point. I'm not sure I can be nice to someone who deep down wants to be the one to marry you instead of me."

"I'll go over the ones you missed, in the order that you missed them," you say. "Rayna the Illusionist. Rolanda the Autonomy master. Regan the Sound specialist. Rhiannon the Binding specialist. Ramona the Enchanter. Regina the Alchemist. Rhea the Transformation expert. And
Riva the Healer."

"Maybe I should befriend Riva, since she isn't really going to challenge me, either."

A) That should work
B) That won't work

"I don't think that will work," you say.

"But you just said I should try and be nice so they won't challenge me," she says.

"That's not why it won't work," you say. "Not to say Riva is sensitive, but she's very... not goth. You may think I can't handle horror movies and things like that, but Riva really, really can't. Sometimes the other girls use that to prank her, scaring her with skeletons and ghosts."

"Well, I wouldn't scare her," Raven says. "And I'll keep my gothic interests at a safe distance."

"Then you'll have to avoid wearing the leftover Halloween jewelry around her," you say as you point out the spider bracelets.

"Oh, right... Well I'll just not wear these. Other than that, it shouldn't be impossible for me to get along with her."

"Well..." you say.

"What?" she says curtly. "What else would keep us from getting along?"

"She might be tentative around you because of your gloomy disposition."

"So? You're kinda gloomy, too."

"Well..." the other Titans say.

"Hey...!" Raven says, marginally offended.

"Raven, you're definitely more gloomy than Rorek," Beast Boy says. "Like, you're storm clouds just before the rain. Rorek's more like when things are overcast. The clouds are grey, but they don't do anything, and sometimes they let the sun shine through."

"Yes, that is a very accurate metaphor," Starfire says while Robin and Cyborg nod.

Raven grumbles as she stirs another chicken strip in the dip.

"Okay, I'll work on being... sunnier..."

It sounded like Raven was disgusted with getting "sunnier" out.

"Is there anyone I could have an easier time befriending as a back-up plan?" Raven asks.

"Maybe. Perhaps..."

A) Rayna
B) Regina
C) The Robertas

"The Robertas. Rivers is very relaxed and down to earth as a Druid, you two might get along fairly well. Rhodes might be harder to impress, but she might go along if Rivers accepts you."

"Are they that close?" Raven asks.

"No, it's more that Rhodes is competitive with Rivers, so she won't want to be left out."

"Oh. Okay, so focus on Rivers and Rhodes should follow. Sounds almost poetic or something."

"Yes, I suppose it is. Well, that should be everything to review, then."

"Well, hold on," she says. "There's the family that serves your family, your butlers and maids. They're the... Well- No, Will. Wilmarth. The Wilmarth Family has served the Null Family for generations, dating back to Kermit Wilmarth, who worked under Rorek the Fourth."

"Very good," you say. "I wasn't going to grill you too hard on them, since none of the other suitors really worry about them, but that'll be a nice thing to endear my family to you."

Raven smiles proudly and returns to eating her chicken.

Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire steadily eat through their platters, but you're a bit behind. You still finish everything you picked out, but the others already head off for seconds.

A) Also get seconds
B) Skip to dessert
C) Leave it at this much

"I'm going to get dessert," you say. "Do you want anything, Raven? I could probably sneak you something."

"No, that's okay," she says.

"Alright then," you say as you stand up. "Be right back."

You walk back to the buffet area and logically find desserts at the very end. You see cookies, cake, and- Oh, gelatin! You'll definitely go with that.

You pick up a little plate and the little tongs and pick out cubes of the red cherry gelatin to stick them on the plate. You put the little plate on your big plate and bring it back to the table. Luckily you get there before the others return, so you slide back in beside Raven without any awkwardness.

"Oooh, Jello-O," Robin says. "Nice."

"Very," you say as you use your spoon to dig into the cubes. "You can smell the cherry so you know it's good."

The others return with their second helpings of everything, and you notice Starfire has actually reduced her portions from two plates to one.

"Just curious, will this be it or is there already plans for thirds?" you ask them.

"Oh yeah, don't worry, this'll be good," Cyborg says before stabbing into a slice of ham.

You enjoy the cherry gelatin while Robin and Raven finish up their dishes and Beast Boy scarfs down more salad. Starfire focused on meats this time, so she gobbles down quite a few meatballs while also chewing on chicken.

When everyone is done eating, you all head out of the diner through the exit door behind you. You return to the parking lot and put your helmet on with Raven while the others hop inside the T-Car.

"Well, since we already did our little review," you say to Raven, "I'll do my laundry and we can..."

"Do light training. No sparring, just you working on completing and refining your new skills."

"Okay," she shrugs.

You ride back to the Tower following the T-Car, return to the garage and then to the lift to go upstairs.

"I'll meet you in the training room," you say to Raven as you exit.

"Alright," she says. "I'll get dressed in the meantime, so whenever you can, you should just head there, too."

"So I guess we just take up space now?" Beast Boy mutters.

He then lets out an "Ow!" when someone elbows him.

You continue to your room and gather up your dirty laundry. You carry that back to the lift and ride down to the laundry room. You separate your laundry like before and start separate washing machines. You load, apply proper detergents, and set them on their way while you return to the lift.

You go down further to the training room, and are the first to arrive. You go to the middle of the room and decide to practice things for yourself. You lace other types of magic into your Magical Charge, then throw it like a cricket ball. It ricochets off floor and wall, then automatically detonates with Fire Elemental magic per the condition you put in.

You make another Magical Charge with other details inside, and throw that up to the ceiling. You watch it closely as it hits the peak of the arc, then starts to return back down. The time-based trigger activates and the charge activates its Arcana ability of Spicati, or "Spiked". It lands on the floor, a spike stuck right in the paneling. Then the spikes retreat and the charge disappears.

The lift opens and Raven walks out, back in her black leotard and cerulean cloak and boots.

"Hopefully I didn't keep you waiting too long," she says as she walks over.

"Not at all," you say. "Now, go ahead and just practice whatever you feel."

Raven nods and kneels to make a large summon circle, and creates a bear construct like she did the other day. The bear walks around on all fours, then stands up on its back paws for its full height. It roars and swipes, then returns to all fours. Then she creates her wolves and even some ravens.

"Very good," you say. "A solid seven out of ten in the Summoning scale as far as strongest construct, and a very high capacity for multiple summons at once."

"Thank you," she says. "What else do you think I should try and improve?"

A) Binding
B) Sound
C) Elemental

"Perhaps Binding," you say. "Again, if you can incapacitate your opponent, the duel is over."

"So then should I practice binding you?" she smirks.

"Well, you should also practice freeing yourself," you say. "Clauditis!"

"Ack!" Raven blurts as she's clamped inside a cylinder. "What is this?"

"It's simply just called 'Lock'," you say. "It's level 5 out of 10, so this isn't even the most powerful Binding spell possible. Which also means there is a way out of it. You're inside it, so the way out is to pick the lock using your mana. You'll feel the lock pushing back at different levels, so you'll have to use varying amounts, much like the teeth of a key."

"I figured that much," she grumbles as she wriggles around. "Hold on."

You sit and watch Raven squirm inside the giant keyhole around her. She makes some interesting faces while picking the lock, as well. Lots of squinting and furrowing of the brow, while crinkling her nose and scrunching her lips.

"Sounds like you're doing well," you say. "Of course, in a duel, or even in sparring, you wouldn't have time to just patiently free yourself."

*Chik CHAK* The lock is solved and it disappears from around Raven. She stretches her arms while you stand back up.

"Ready to try with some pressure put on you?" you ask.

"Definitely," she smirks.

"Clauditis!" you say again.

The lock goes back on, and you prepare more mana.

"I'm going to give you until the count of ten," you say. "Then I'll hit you with something else. Ten. Nine. Eight."

Raven wriggles around very quickly while you quietly prepare

"Seven. Six," you keep counting. "Five. Four."

Raven squirms and scrunches her face as she hurries to pick the lock.

"Three. Two."

"Wait!" she blurts.

"One! Stupify!"

You hit her with the Disorientation spell, and she's immediately dazed and confused inside the lock.

"How strong was that one...?" she asks, even her voice sounding like its dizzy.

"That was a six," you say. "I'm capable of up to eight, so I went easy."

"This still really sucks," she says. "At least let me out of the lock."

"Actually I think the lock is the only thing keeping you upright," you say. "I'll undo the disorientation first."

You snap your fingers, and Raven looks immediately relieved. You snap your fingers again and the lock is undone, and Raven steadies herself on her feet.

"Feeling better?" you ask.

"Yes, much better," she says.

"Ready for another go?"

"Um... Give me a second."

She takes a deep breath and stands up straight.

"Okay, I'm good," she says. "Go again."

"Clauditis!" you say as you put Raven in a third lock. "Ten. Nine."

Raven works very fast on the lock while you prepare another Disorientation spell. She gets through three of the tumblers, but that's not even half.

"Eight. Seven. Six. Five."

"Okay just promise me that's not another level six," Raven says quickly as she gets a couple more tumblers.

"Don't worry it's not," you say just as quickly. "Three. Two."

*Chik CHAK* The lock opens and Raven is free.

"Stupify!" you say.

Raven is hit by the spell again, and she sways backwards.

"Why...?!" she groans as she slowly sits down. "I got free...!"

"Yes, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't have to still defend yourself," you say as you walk over. "The other girls aren't going to take it easy on you, so neither can I."

Raven just groans while you help her up to her feet. You snap your fingers and undo the Disorientation again, but Raven still leans on you.

"So much for this being light training," she says. "I think I should take a break."

"Perhaps that'd be best," you say. "I should also check on my laundry. We can try again..."

"After dinner. It'll give us plenty of time to recover and take last inventory of what we need for the trip."

"Sounds good," she says. "You take care of your underwear, I'll decide what we're having for dinner."

"You're going to cook?" you say as you two return to the lift.

"No, I said I'm going to decide," she says. "Whatever it is, we'll probably order out for it."

"I see. In that case, just no Greek."

"Because of Isabel?"

"What? Oh, no, not at all. I just don't like the taste of the food, it just doesn't appeal to me for some reason."

"That's okay," she says. "We usually don't do Greek anyway. We might get Mexican, though."

"Sounds lovely," you say.

The lift arrives at the laundry room, and you exit to see Beast Boy working on his own laundry.

"Hello, Beast Boy," you say.

"Sup," he says as he puts a huge wad of green socks in a washing machine. "I think your stuff is done, dude."

You go to the washing machines and see they've finished the process.

"So they have," you say. "Raven's going to decide dinner with the others if you want to go up and have a say."

"Okay, just gotta put in the detergent."

He takes out the bottle of liquid detergent and unscrews the top. He pours a lot of the liquid in. Perhaps too much...

"Um, hold on there," you say as you walk over. "I don't think greens need this much detergent."

"Trust me, they're his socks," Raven says. "They need that much detergent."

You look down at the washer and the collection of socks inside. You don't lean in any further, because you already get a wiff of something.

"Perhaps you're right," you say. "Go ahead then."

Beast Boy pours in the detergent and closes the lid to let the washer do its work. He then walks to the lift and joins Raven inside.

"See you in a minute," you say to them.

"See you upstairs," she smiles before the lift doors close and it continues up.

You open up two dryers and move your loads of laundry over. You make sure to get throw in fabric softener sheets and crank the dryers up to over an hour and start them up. You then return to the lift, wait for it to come back down, then ride back up.

"So, have we made a decision?" you ask as you walk into Ops.

"Yes," Raven says as you sidle up beside her at the kitchen counter. "We decided on Thai food because they're running a special on stir-fry. They call it 'Stir-Fry Friday'."

"Clever," you say. "Put me down for chicken fried rice."

Raven nods and writes that down.

"Well, since you two are heading out tomorrow morning," Robin says, "and will be gone for who knows how long, I think we should make tonight a really great send-off party."

"Yeah!" Beast Boy and Cyborg say.

"We should do something extra special," Beast Boy says. "More special than a movie or a game. Something that says, 'see you later.' Like way, way later."

"I think movies and games are enough," you say. "We'll just watch something really good."

"Like what?" he asks.

"I'm not sure. Maybe some James Bond."

"I guess that's okay," he shrugs. "Though can it be one of the newer ones?"

"Yes, we can watch the Daniel Craig Bonds," you say. "We can start with Casino Royale, and move on through to Spectre."

"The order is put in," Raven says, "they should be here in about 20 minutes."

"Okay," you say. "We'll wait for our food to arrive, and then our movie marathon will begin. How much ws it?"

"$49, but that's rounding up."

You give Raven $50 in $10 bills.

"For when they arrive. Actually, here."

You give her another $5.

"The six extra dollars will be the tip."

Everyone continues about their day, but then gather back in Ops just as the time comes. The door bell rings, and Raven goes downstairs in the lift. After a few minutes, she comes back with a couple good sized brown paper bags.

"Dinner is served," she smiles as she walks over.

You help her with the bags and taking out the contents, which are Styrofoam cartons. Luckily they're labeled so you can read what is in each.

"Vegetable stir-fry for Beast Boy, naturally," you say as you hand that over. "One of these chicken stir-fry is for me, who ordered the other?"

"I did," Raven says with another smile. "The shrimp stir-fry is for Robin, the beef is for Cyborg, and the extra large pork stir-fry is for Starfire."

Starfire takes the biggest of the Styrofoam cartons and smiles as she floats over to the couch. Robin joins her, and then so does everyone else. You pick up the remote and go to the On Demand function. You work to type in "Casino Royale", but nothing happens.

"Are the remote's batteries dying?" you ask as you shake it.

"Shouldn't be, we just replaced them," Cyborg says. "Maybe there's something in the way of the receiver."

"Guess again, Titans!" a familiarly creaky voice says.

The television image flickers, and the chubby, pasty, prematurely-balding, neckbeard-growing face that goes with it appears.

"Control Freak!?" everyone says, both annoyed and surprised.

"How did you get out of prison already?" Robin asks. "You shouldn't be allowed to have anything you could use to recreate your remote."

"Fairly easy, really," he says. "I stashed a spare in a brick in one of the cells. It wasn't the cell I got put in this time, but I took advantage of a prison riot to get to that cell and then to a TV."

Everyone groans.

"But anyway," Control Freak continues. "Looks like you were about to have a little party, complete with dinner and a movie. I think I'll take a cue from my old man and finally move to the silver screen with this one!"

"Huh?!" everyone says, while Control Freak presses a button on his remote!

There's a flash and a feeling of being drawn towards something, and then you find yourself in some strange dimension.

"Where are we?" you ask as you look around at the dimly lit space.

"This is Control Freak's TV Dimension," Robin explains.

"He can make anything and everything relating to television come to life," Cyborg says, "and even edit them so that you could be facing sci-fi monsters in the Wild West, or be stuck in a swamp with some sitcom cast."

"But I out-geeked him once, so I can out-geek him again!" Beast Boy grins.

Beast Boy stomps his feet and rubs his hands.

"Hak, Jun, Kang!" he chants. "Hak, Jun--"

"Mute," Control Freak says as he presses a button.

Beast Boy no longer makes a sound.

"Finally, something good he's done," Raven says.

"So let's see..." Control Freak says as he stands in front of what appears to be the On Demand menu, but for giants. "I see you were about to watch a James Bond movie. And Casino Royale, too, how nice. But how about we go with... the 1967 version!!"

"Nooooo...!!" you shout in horror. "Anything but that!"

"Why?" Raven asks. "What's wrong with that version?"

"It's... a satire...!" you croak. "It sprang from a disagreement between Charles K. Feldman, the producer and owner of the film rights, and Eon Productions who had made every Bond film up to that point. So instead of taking it serious, Feldman decided to make it more of a parody. The box office was great but the reviews accurately summed it up as a self-indulgent, incoherent and reckless spoof!"

"You say that like it tried to kill you..." Raven says with a curious eyebrow and uneasy lean away from you.

"Don't you dare put us in there," you say to Control Freak.

"I'll do whatever I want while I have this remote!" he says with a smug look on his face. "Unless... You agree to my demands!"

"And what are your demands?" Robin asks.

"I get a kiss from Starfire AND Raven!!" he declares with the ultimate conviction.

"Eww!" both girls let out as they step back in disgust.

Control Freak laughs maniacally while you and Robin look at each other with your own disgust and hesitation.

"Going through the satirical Casino Royale can't be that bad, can it?" Robin says.

"I feel like either situation will make me vomit," you say.

A) Let him have the kisses
B) Endure the 1967 Casino Royale

"Fine! Give me that horrible rubbish of a movie!"

"I knew that was too much to ask," Control Freak mutters. "But alright, then! Lights! Camera! Action!"

He presses another button on his remote, and everyone is taken away with another bright light and gravitational force.

First, the opening credits. The MGM logo and its lion, but it's Beast Boy so the lion is green.

There's irony to the star-studded cast that accompanies this proverbial red-headed stepchild of the Bond franchise.

After the opening credits, the movie truly begins, with you naturally cast as James Bond. Or in this case, Sir James Bond, who has been retired for the past 20. In this version, Bond is a bit of an eccentric, with a pride of lions living on the premises. You have to play along, and exercise while your rickety old butler serves tea.

And as the movie goes, you are visited by the head of British MI6, "M", CIA representative "Ransome", KGB representative "Smernov", and Deuxime Bureau (French military intelligence) representative Le Grand. They're still played by John Huston, William Holden, Kurt Kasznar and Charles Boyer, but they do not seem to notice you're not David Niven.

"So, gentlemen," you say, ignoring script. "I know you're here for more than tea. You wish for me to come out of retirement to stop the SMERSH and their killing spree of your people."

M, Ransome, Smernov and Le Grand are confused and a bit flustered.

"Cut!" Control Freak shouts as he walks in from the off-screen set that wasn't there before. "What're you doing improvising?"

"What're you doing in that outfit?" you say as you look at his beret, ascot, troop pants and boots. "Do you think you're Von Stroheim or something?"

"Just stick to the script or I'm gonna roll camera on my kiss scene with our leading ladies!" he threatens with a jab of the rolled-up script.

You grumble.

"Alright, from the top!" Control Freak barks as he returns off-screen. "Action!"

You sigh, and start again from greeting the group of international spies. You invite them for tea, and let them lead the conversation to the request to go against SMERSH. You do get to be Bond showing off his deductive abilities. You take them on a tour of Bond's estate before turning them down.

However, things move forward and M uses one last, and rather underhanded, trick: he uses the match for his cigar as a signal to British soldiers! They fire a mortar and start blowing up Bond's mansion! But at the same time, the explosion is a bit overboard, and M ends up dead in the process.

You drive to "Scotland" to bring M's remains to his widow, Lady Fiona McTarry. And you know that SMERSH puts a plan into action to destroy the "celibate image" of Bond, which is a completely idiotic joke to make because everyone knows from every other Bond movie that Bond is a ladies' man so why even bother!?

As you arrive, there are scenes of SMERSH agents notifying the command center that you're arriving. One includes a man pretending to play bagpipes but it's actually his communicator. This gives the exposition that Agent Mimi is already in place at the McTarry manor.

Cut to you in the manor with Lady McTarry and the mourning family.

"Rorek!" Raven says. "I guess it makes sense you're Bond, but who am I?"

"You're Agent Mimi pretending to be Lady McTarry, wife of M, who just died in the last scene."

"Wait, what happened to the real Mrs. McTarry?"

"They never explain that but it was definitely SMERSH's doing. But that's secondary, we have to play our parts."

You go through the scene with Raven, presenting with all that was left of Lord McTarry/M after the explosions: his hair. Then a goat is brought in, as it is to be the centerpiece of the funeral feast.

Fade to later as you meet the rest of the supposed McTarry family, i.e. all the young women in the family. In the original, they're all red-heads like Deborah Kerr, who played Mimi/Lady McTarry. However, because Control Freak made the recasting to put Raven in the role, the McTarry women are now goth. That aside, this is where the seduction attempts begins, as they flirtatiously take your coast, then your shirt, and even your pants...

"W-What the Hell?!" Raven shouts as she storms in from off-camera.

"Cut!" Control Freak shouts. "Do you not see the sign, 'quiet on the set'!? Now we have to start this scene over, too. Redress him so you can undress him again."

"Raven, calm down," you say. "This isn't even the worst part of the movie."

"What? What're you talking about?"

"The ending of this movie," you say in a sharp whisper. "This movie isn't just bad because it's a satire with stupid attempts at comedy, it's bad because they end it with everyone dying like it's a bloody Bugs Bunny cartoon!"

"Wait what?! We're going to die!?"

"Definitely the main characters," you say. "And I'd imagine Control Freak made sure to cast the others as the main parts, too."

"So what're we supposed to do?"

A) Wait until all the Titans are assembled
B) Try going off script again right now
