(Poetry Person)
"It was spring
All throughout the meadow
Nature starts to sing
Row after row, after row
The clouds awaken from their slumber
Singing songs across the mound
Oh, how it would be nice for a run"
(clapping)
Oh, that was beautiful!
And the rhyming scheme went
very well with your tone
Yes! The rhythm was well done.
I loved it.
I'll go next.
"I learned to release the monster
Ripping and tearing
the flesh of contemplation.
Devouring the cheerful delirium of onlookers
Striking fear into the hearts of many
For they all became no more
And there was no more whence it came"
That was...
Interesting.
It had such a negative tone, though.
(Poetry Person 2)
Very true.
(Poetry Person 3)
I think this poem does need
work, though, honestly.
Perhaps if you add a few
lines at the end, like...
Suddenly everything gets better.
But I--
Oh, that is such a lovely idea.
The whole point was
that the human condition--
Well, I'll be going next.
I can't wait!
(Poetry Person)
Indeed!
Hey, Cassie, right?
Wait a sec!
What is it?
I, uh, just wanted to say...
Don't let those poetry pricks bother you.
You're not like them, are you?
No, uh, I'm not.
I'm Carl, by the way.
Carl Gallagher.
Uh, look, I've got to go try
out for the volleyball team.
Maybe I'll see you later?
Yeah, sure. Sure, uh...
How about we meet
here tomorrow at 2?
Fine by me.
There's an epidemic on campus.
Herpes?
No, Roger, but close.
Several students have
fallen into comas.
Campus officials are blaming it on stress.
What do you think it is?
I'm not sure.
So far, five students have been affected.
I want the three of you to investigate
each and every one of the victims.
See if you can find something
they all have in common.
-Sure.
All right.
--Okay.
Volleyball's more than a simple game.
It's about the spirit within and
how to harness that power
and use it in our daily lives.
All of you just have to concentrate.
If you can't do that, then you
don't deserve to be on the team.
So who wants to try out first?
Uh...uh...
Uh, excuse me.
What is this?
I'm Cassie.
Who let this freak on the field?
Uh...uh...
Just look at you.
You won't work.
You won't work on the team at all.
Skip the make up, and
use teeth whitening strips
Before you even think about
being in my presence again.
You got that?
Now leave, before I throw up.
(Cassie sobs)
Next!
(thunder)
Deimos, I need you.
Hello, Cassie.
How was your day?
It went from crap,
to crappy, to crappier
But I did meet a nice guy named Carl.
You like him?
We just met today
But, yes...
Yes, I do.
How were your volleyball tryouts?
Horrible! The volleyball captain
humiliated me in front of everyone
I'd like you to feed on her tonight.
Very well.
Oh, and three people
from the poetry club.
They hated my poem.
Tonight, I will have a feast.
Do you know where they live?
Not yet, but I'll find out.
Wonderful.
Oh no!
Say it ain't so!
What is it?
Four more people have disappeared.
One of them is the wonderful,
beautiful, Tiffany Sumner.
Who are the other three?
I don't know, dude.
They look like jerks.
Can I see that paper?
Sure.
I knew it.
Those three jerks?
They're in the poetry club.
Friends of yours?
No.
But there's only one other
person in the poetry club.
A girl named Cassie.
She said she was going to
try out for the volleyball team.
The volleyball team?
As in, Tiffany's volleyball team?
So Cassie's the common thread
in all these disappearances.
Do you know where we can find her?
Carl, it's good to see you.
Hi Cassie.
Are you feeling okay?
Nine students on campus are in comas.
I know you're responsible.
Carl...
What did you do to them?
Deimos, I need you!
I'd like you to meet my
best friend, Deimos.
Your best friend is a cube?
I found him in my grandparents' attic.
We bonded immediately.
I am from a plane of pure energy.
I need the life force of
humans to satisfy my hunger.
Whenever anyone wrongs me,
I tell Deimos to pay them a visit.
He sucks them right up.
It takes 48 hours for me
to digest a single person.
Then there's still hope.
Hope for what?
Look, Cassie. I know they're
not the nicest people...
But they don't deserve this.
You're wrong.
They do deserve it.
Each and every one of them.
These are innocent people.
They're not innocent!
I really thought you'd understand.
I suppose you'll--
(Roger)
Boink!
Deimos!
Cassie...
What'd...you do?
My friend...
My friend, Deimos!
I'm sorry, but you can't just--
Get away from me!
You're the worst of them all!
You killed my only friend!
It's okay, Deimos.
I'll fix you...
You'll be all better.
Her poetry sucked, anyway.
You'll be fine, Deimos.
And we'll be happy together.
(laugh)
Yes, we'll be together.
My best friend.
