A Nightmare at Green Lake

Part 5: Roaring Stars



Tooth Fairy: It escaped, taking my precious collection away.
Vertin: Nah, there's no way to follow it. The trees it pushed down have blocked the path. This would take us some time.
Vertin: That was definitely not your usual critter. Ms. Tooth Fairy, what kind of traces did you find earlier?
Tooth Fairy: Most of them were left by medium and small critters. Claw marks of giant critters are clear but few. There's probably one critter of such an immense size.
Tooth Fairy: Besides, we need to offer an explanation to that lady.
Vertin: Of course.
They all look at the center of the chaos, who seems to feel the gazes and turn back in confusion.
Horropedia: Why are you all staring at me? Do I have something on my face or my clothes?
Tooth Fairy turns her face to the film crew. The actors stand in a circle, with fake blood all over their bodies. Blonney lets out a mournful cry.
Blonney: Camera, my camera, my God. The roll films are ruined, too.
Anne: There, there, Jennifer.
Anne: Perhaps I can try piecing it together and fix it for you. Would it help you to feel better?
Blonney: It's no use. Everything in it has gone—every take I took!
Horropedia: Yeah, like what Anne said, don't be sad. Thanks to your generosity, none of us were injured.
Blonney looks up, and the brittle pieces of burnt camera fall to the ground from her hand.
Blonney: What did you just say?
Horropedia: I'm trying to comfort you. Don't glare at me. Actually, I think this is unnecessary, but they made me.
The young man lowers his head, keeps his voice down, and tilts his head toward the people behind him.
Horropedia: See? Behind me, the girl with the hat and the girl in the white …
Blonney: Ah, unnecessary? You think it's unnecessary? Do you have even the slightest idea of what you have destroyed?
The blonde girl is shaking. Her face is clouded with anger.
Her manicured nails nearly poke Horropedia's nose like sharpened little knives.
Blonney: Make your four eyes useful and look at these. What do you think they are?!
Horropedia: Alright, calm down. Let's be reasonable.
Horropedia: If you were mad because of your movie, I am really sorry. But at that very moment, I thought our safety mattered the most.
Horropedia: Also, I have good news for you. This Recorder is meant for taking daily family videos. The clips taken by it aren't nearly enough to be called a movie.
Horropedia: So, to some extent, I just prevented you from shooting a disastrous movie.
Horropedia: If you are looking for any financial compensation, please talk to the girl with the hat.
Blonney: Ugh, ah! Come again? Who is going to make a disastrous movie? Ugh, no, don't change the subject!
Blonney: Movies, ha! No, I'm not raging over some movies. I don't care about this stupid st at all!
Blonney: You think money can get you out of trouble? It doesn't even come close! That was a limited collaboration product of Recorder and Lugus. You can only find three of these all over the world. Only three!
Blonney: It's more valuable than any jewelry or luxury handbags!
Blonney: The suede decoration on it alone can buy 200 of your stupid head, dumbass!
Blonney: Shoot! My makeup!
Blonney: What are you sticking there for? Go clean the broken trunks and branches off the path! We have to get back to the cabin as soon as possible. I have no desire to catch a cold in the rain!
Someone comes to her side.
Tooth Fairy: This is not a safe place for you. Get back to the town, find a hotel, and take a hot shower.
Tooth Fairy: My students and I will escort you to the main road at the edge of the woods and arrange a car for you.
Tooth Fairy: If any of you have symptoms like an itchy throat or rising temperature, please buy some Robitussin or similar drug at the nearest pharmacy.
Blonney: Ah! No, I'm not leaving! The movie is not finished.
Blonney: As long as you take care of that big monster, I can continue with my project to get that stupid s
t movie done.
Anne: But, we don't have that cam- ... camer- ...
Blonney: Camera! You dumb girl!
Blonney: You have no idea what we are doing here, so don't tell me what to do if the best you could do is handcraft some props!
Tooth Fairy: Staying here is really not a wise choice for you.
Tooth Fairy: It is very dangerous, and you can't protect yourselves.
Blonney: It's our right to stay here. You can't just expel us.
Tooth Fairy: You are, of course, entitled of the right to stay, Ms. Blonney.
Tooth Fairy: But I hope you could keep in mind that you and your friends are in grave danger. The Green Lake Campsite is not a place for fun.
Tooth Fairy: You should stay with us for the sake of your safety.
Tooth Fairy: The rain is getting heavier. We might catch a cold. Let's clean up the road and head for the shelter.
The blonde girl falls silent for a brief moment and then storms away.
Blonney: All this gibberish is to scare us off. Come here, Freddie!
Blonney: Go into the campsite and see if you can find some axes for us.
Tooth Fairy: Kids, if you find any teeth, please pick them up and hand them to me.
Blonney: Hurry up, Freddie. I'm freezing!
