Season #1 Episode #11: Sense and Insensitivity

---

King:
Oof!

[His book is thrown out and hits him in the head.]

King:
Nyah! Ugh.

Piniet:
I'll read your story. [takes King's book, reads it fast] You wrote this?

King:
Yup, that's me! Only me.

Piniet:
Let me get you a fruit punch.

King:
Ooh. I love punching.

[Cut to inside. Piniet snaps. A glass of fruit punch is slid on the counter toward King.]

Piniet:
I'm Piniet, of Piniet Publishing House. And your name is... King?

King:
It's more of a rank than a name.

Piniet:
I loved your story, so much better than the submissions we got for the competition. I want to buy it and publish it for everyone to read. I'll make you as famous as Jon De Plume.

[Camera pans to Jon De Plume getting cheered on by fans as he does finger guns. He falls backwards, and Amelia and Skara rush to act as a chair for him.]

King:
I've always wanted a people chair! I'm in! This will be my first step in my reclamation of power!

Piniet:
[pulls a contract out of his jacket] Then all you have to do is sign here.

[Piniet puts the contract on the counter. King dunks his paw in the punch and smacks it on the signature line. The contract glows when Piniet picks it up. He rolls it and puts it back in his jacket.]

King:
You're ominous. And I like it.

Piniet:
Get ready to be famous Mr. King.

[They shake hands.]

[Cut to a forge, where creatures are jumping on a bellow. A witch pulls a molten ball out of the fireplace. They strike it with a hammer, then cool it in a barrel. The cooled chunk smashes on a table, revealing King's book. Cut to a cartful of the books arriving at a bookstore. Mattholomule takes a bundle of them out and tosses it on the welcome mat, which carries it inside.]

Welcome Mat:
Ouch! Jeez.

[Cut to the market.]

Reviewnicorn:
It's the perfect blend of heart and heartlessness! Like two authors mashed into one! [neighs]

[Cut to the library, where a cardboard cutout of King is leaning against a stand of Ruler's Reaches. A crowd comes and goes, leaving no book behind. Skara returns to kiss and steal the cardboard cutout. Cut to King wearing a jacket, scarf, and sunglasses as he walks the streets of Bonesborough, past bookstores and loaded shelves.]

King Cardboard Cutout: Spend money on my thing I wrote. Spend money on my thing I wrote.

Crowd:
[gasps] Oh my God! it's the King, I can't believe it!

[The crowd tosses King into the air. More people arrive, waving their copies of Ruler's Reach and pens.]

Tiny Nose:
Mr. King! I love your writing. Please read my story!

King:
[laughs] Oh my, always good to meet minions. I mean fans. [signs Tiny Nose's story and throws it back at her]

Tiny Nose:
You're my inspiration.

[Cut to the forest. Eda walks into a clearing, consulting her map. She rips vines off of a statue.]
