Relaxation Interlude

[Sound effects: windchimes and bird song]

Jack: "Well hello there. My name is Jack, but you probably know me by now as Roots. I hope you are doing well. We're currently drawing the 1st side of Aylesbury's Most Wanted to a close. There are more songs to come, A LOT more songs to come. But for now, I wish to have this interlude in place just to relax you before we get onto the next few tracks. So, all I need you to do right now is just lay back, close your eyes if you need to, and empty your mind of any stress or discomfort you may have. Listen to the windchimes, listen to the birds, listen to the background music. Just as long as your mind is at ease, you will be just fine. I especially hope that you enjoy the last few tracks once this interlude is over. And don't worry about a single thing. As long as I'm around, you are safe. -Safe. -Safe. -Safe. -Safe. Sa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-."

Marcus: "Did you miss me?"

[Static]

"You.... Your mind is weak! Look at you, sitting there with your headphones or earphones, listening to Jack's words as if they mean anything! He lied about saying you're safe! He lied about saying everything's fine! Especially if I'm around, you are far from safe! Did you really think that Roots would ANO-NO-NO-NOTHER mixtape without including ME?!"

[Static]

"Oh, I see how it is! You think that just because Roots has not made a song with me, Marcus Madness, in SO long, means that I'm gone. That he's abandoned me, left me to rot inside his head! Well, I'm sorry. Actually, NO! I'm not sorry! But I never left! You thought I was gone, didn't you? Well, I've been here this WHOLE time! Always watching! Always listening! And you never paid any attention to me! Such perfect timing to take over Jack's body!"

Jack: (Faintly) "Please-!"

Marcus: "And as long as Jack continues to make music, I'm not going anywhere! I'll always be around, always listening and watching your every move."

Jack: (Faintly) "Help me...."

Marcus: "I've seen you all argue over insignificant little things. But none of that will matter once I get complete control of Jack's mind AND body! Once that happens, there will be no getting away from me! He cannot get rid of me! You cannot get rid of me! He cannot escape me! You cannot escape me! And if you think you can, then you are a fool! I will get you! And then I'll make you ALL suffer!"
