Komona Potion Contest

Mayor of Komona

As Mayor of Komona, I declare the potion contest... Open!

Our town is delighted to welcome no fewer than four witches for this first edition.

Please give a huge round of applause:

Mayor of Komona

All the way from the great Technologist's Union, it's an honor to welcome the ravishing and ingenious Coriander!

...not to forget our local girl, Komona's very own witch Saffron!

...Our third participant comes to us from the lands of the setting moons, Shichimi!

...and finally, our last participant, from the forest of Squirrel's End, Pepper!

Let the games begin! The vote will be by applaud-o-meter

First up, Coriander's demonstration

Coriander

Ladies & Gentlemen...

...fear death no more, thanks to my...

...Potion of ZOMBIFICATION!

Audience

Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap

Mayor of Komona

FANTASTIC!

Coriander defies death itself with this mi-ra-cu-lous potion!

Audience

Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap

Saffron

...but please, save your applause, people of Komona! Because here is MY Potion!

The real potion you've all been waiting for: the one which will amaze your neighbors... ...make them jealous!

...all this is possible with the simple application of a single drop of my...

...Potion of POSHNESS!

Audience

Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap

Mayor of Komona

Fantastic! Incredible! This potion could make all of Komona rich!

Your applause can't be wrong. Coriander has already been eliminated.

Audience

Mayor of Komona

That last demonstration would now seem difficult to beat for Shichimi!

Shichimi

I... I did not know we had to give a demonstration.

Mayor of Komona

...come on Shichimi, everyone's waiting for you.

Shichimi

NO! I cannot, it is too dangerous SORRY!

Mayor of Komona

It seems, Ladies & Gentlemen that Shichimi forfeits...

Saffron

Give me that!

...and stop pretending to be shy, you're spoiling the show.

Everyone already knows that I've won the contest no matter what your potion does...

Shichimi

Sound

BZZZIIOO

Shichimi

CAREFUL!!! It's a potion for GIANT MONSTERS!

Bird

CAW-CAW-Caaaaaaaawwww

Pepper

...huh, cool! So it's my turn now?

...my potion will at least be worth a few laughs because...

Mayor of Komona

Run, idiot! The competition is over! ...save yourself!

Pepper

There you go... ...as usual, everyone leaves just when it's our turn.

At least I have an idea of what we'll be able to do with your "potion", Carrot. ...put everything back in order here and head home!

HEY!

You Oversized-posh-zombie-canary!

Sound

CRACK!

Pepper

Wanna try one last potion? ...

...not really, huh?

Pepper

Yeah, read the label, carefully... ...I won't think twice before pouring it all over you if you don't get out of Komona right away!

Mayor of Komona

Because she saved our town when it was in peril we award first place to Pepper for her Potion of ... ??!!
