The imperial secret police:Dieter, Roland, John, Peter.

Peter:The emperor didn’t step down did he?

John:Those are rumors

Roland:alright 👏 👏 haul it all away.

Peter:I suppose we should take the baby?

John:Wait why are we doing this again?

Dieter:Shadow made a news broadcast threatening the emperor so we’re stealing everything he owns

Peter:SHOULD WE TAKE THIS BABY!

GOOGOO

Dieter:shhhhhh

John:It’s so stupid it probably thinks darkness means night, put this blanket over it’s eyes.

Roland:He said Nergal would watch this in the under world

Nergal (not me):Hello, I’ll watch over this stuff. Put the crops in a basket and send them up the Euphrates, I want the Babylonians to have them.

Roland:And there’s this baby too.

Nergal:I’ve never had a kid before, oh well, I’ll just put it down here in the ziggurat near my throne.

GOOGOO-

Nergal:Silence! Great, now this will echo for miles, I told Pazuzu we should’ve put sound pads in here! This will make the underworld horrible.

Later…

Dieter:Heyyy, guys? I just got a message saying the emperor stepped down

Peter:Oh shiiiiiiiiii-
