[Twink races into frame, obviously angry and upset; he begins speaking quietly, but gradually gets louder]
Twink: This does not even deserve a Sprite’s Log introduction, because this is dead serious! The inside and outside tour I did A FEW MONTHS AGO of the Color Castle, everyone on the internet…
[Twink jumps up and suddenly begins to scream and yell in a fit of childish rage, flapping his arms as he puts louder emphasis on certain words]
Twink: RAINBOW AND THE COLOR KIDS ARE
ANGRY AT ME! They’re BLAMING it at me! IT’S my fault,
I ADMIT IT!
It’s my fault! I WANT everything a-

Red: [Enters the room, interrupting] Listen-to-me! Listen to me.
Twink: [Expression changes rapidly and slowly turns to face Red] Yes…
Red: Listen to ME.
Twink: Yes.
Red: [Points at the camera] Shut that damn thing off!
[Twink sighs and attempts to turn off the camera, unaware or indifferent to the fact that it is still recording the conversation. Red walks over to him]
Red: I don’t care what you do. [Points at the camera again] You get all that stuff off of there. Tonight.
Twink: I’m working on it. [Slaps hands to his sides]
Red: Go work on it! [Points to the door]
Twink: I am workin-
Red: Do you realize…? Do you realize something? Let me tell you: If Murky and Lurky… see those videos… that you put on the damn internet… they could seize the Color Castle, and we would have to move out of it…?
Twink: [Sighs] I see.
Red: You go get that damn stuff off of there and fast!
Twink: I’m working on it! I was making a vi- uh, a video t-telling everybody, “get the images off of the internet.” Y’know it’s not…
Red: No…

[Twink turns back to face the camera]
Twink: So yeah, please get everything off the internet…

[Twink stomps the ground as he yells; he then quickly calms down, then holds up the peace sign]
Twink: Curse Murky and Lurky, peace to everyone else.

Indigo rapidly turned around. “Oops, wrong script!! That one’s…” she trailed off. “It’s meant as a joke. It’s not serious.”
Canary suspiciously eyed her best friend. “Okay…”
