Summary
Evil Abed says, “There are a multitude of ways to begin your villain arc. Some, less unpleasant than others.”
“Like what?”
There’s a pause in which Evil Abed waggles his eyebrows. Abed chokes.
“Oh, come on,” Abed says, voice taut. “That’s—this is crazy. Even for me.”
Or: Evil Abed tries to showcase the advantages of the villainous lifestyle. Abed isn't buying what he's selling.

Summary
Vi was the first person to see Jinx clearly. She saw her for what she was—something else hiding inside of a child’s skin. Not like a snake, shedding its skin, which implies thought, progression, but something formless, changing without growing, a fluid filling whatever space it can find. A tool—not multipurpose like a Swiss army knife, but multipurpose like a hammer. To a hammer, everything looks like—well.
Or: Post season-1, Jinx and Sevika talk.

Summary
“I’m going to pin it so it won’t pop up. We don’t want any creases or bumps, so I’m just going straight in.” Velvette almost finished with Is that okay, but changed tack at the last second. “You’re not going to be a pussy about this, are you?”
Angel Dust was grinning. “What, do you want me to flatter you?” He put on a squeaky falsetto. “It’s the biggest I’ve ever seen, I swear mister. I don’t know if I can take it.”

Summary
“Okay," Joel said. He shook out his shirt before pulling it on again. "Okay. No hard feelings, but this isn’t happening.”
“What?” Etho didn’t move from his spot at the foot of bed. “No, Joel—you can—you can just talk me through it a bit.”
“Sorry. It’s just a personal rule—I don’t do gay awakenings anymore.” Joel stepped into his pants. “Bad for my mental health.”
Etho cast about for something to say in response to that, and eventually landed on the simple, but true: “I’m not gay.”
“Oh, god,” Joel said.

Summary
Beau begins by sighing exasperatedly, which is typically not ideal for selling a pitch, but what the fuck, right? “I wanted to ask you,” she says, carefully now, “If you would maybe be interested in working with the Cobalt Soul. In a more, uh, official capacity. Like with a salary and everything, or whatever.”
There is a silence which is somehow worse than the silence that they were sitting in before. Essek makes a small sound that must be unconscious, sort of like a death rattle. Beau didn’t know such an undignified noise was in his repertoire.

Summary
It is a mild night in Nicodranas, and Veth is considering slamming the door in Essek’s face.
He’s wearing a Disguise that she hasn’t seen before and an expression that warns of future vomit. He says, shivering, “Um. Hello. Please help me?”
Veth, who is beginning to wish that she hadn’t answered the door in her skimpiest robe, attempts to surreptitiously cross her arms over her cleavage. She says, remarkably pleasantly, “Are you fucking insane?”
