Episode Three: Null and Voidstrike [Electric Tradition]
Feeling the groove, learning to pray; Act like a jackass, and you'll start to bray.
Hi there. Antonio Fury here. Never thought I'd get the shock of seeing the death of someone we all really like. But as weird as that is, he wasn't who we all thought he was. And now Vincent has gone to get the original back. I hope he doesn't act like a donkey.
P A R T - O N E : Meeting With Lampwick
Pleasure Island, Lampwick's Office...
One hour before Valerian Mouse teleports in...
Tod, now called Captain Bray, walks up and inside Lord Lampwick's Office. "Sir? I was thinking about Christmas on the mainland... and how one month out there is one year here... time difference... And I thank you for unblissing me and giving me real work after granting me Changeling Donkey status... but, I still think about the holidays in Roarin' Rhoades, sir."
Bray was no longer with 'the Maintenance Donkey' after Lampwick had caught him trying to hide new donkeys, and Bray too, from Lampwick's inspection rules.

Lord Lampwick smiles, "Well you have done an extremely good job." He motions Bray to a chair, "You've been here quite a while and you seem to have adjusted surprisingly well. Before you finish your question, I would like to ask you one." He smiles and leans back in his chair, "Do you like being a donkey? Would you trade it for anything? And be honest. You know I can tell when someone lies to me"

Bray sat in the offered chair and replied, looking Lord Lampwick in the eyes, "You should know me by now, sir... as long as I can work in an honest environment, it doesn't matter what I am. Being a Changeling Donkey enables me to be human part time. I can't beat that. As for the donkey part, while I did get stuck as one through no fault of my own... I don't think I would give it up now. I consider it as a reminder of... everything that has happened to me. But I do miss my motorcycle and fixing other people's bikes. Heck, I've repaired several rides here on the island. I probably know them better than anyone now. But still... I miss Roarin' Rhoades."

Lord Lampwick puts his hooves up on his desk as he leans back, "The reason I'm asking is... There is a tradition around here. Once a Earth year...That is... During the Christmas seasons... I pick one former human to receive the 'Lampwick's Boon'. Usually I don't actually pick, we have a vote among the captains. There are various guidelines and such and no... You were not the one picked. You lost by one vote. Because you didn't vote for yourself." He chuckles a little bit at that. "In any case, the boy in question got 1 Christmas Wish decided to give that Wish to you along with his Amnesty Restoration... If you choose to accept them. Now the reason I asked my question is because the rules say that you would be returned to the state you entered the Island at. So if you wish to keep anything we've given you... It has to given again AFTER you disembark the Ferry on the mainland."
Lampwick says, "Truth be told, I'd rather he left than you did. People like you more." He smirks, "But then, rules are rules, no?" He smiles, "You can talk to the guy if you want. You see him enough. It's the boy you rescued from the 'freak-show fun-house'. I think he finds being a donkey preferable to being a freak. I'm sure you remember him. Now you don't have to answer yes or no, now. You have until December 25th, Mainland Time." He hands Toddrick a small golden sphere with 'LB' on it, "Here's the boon token. Try not to loose it. I don't have to remake those things." He laughs a bit, "Otherwise, if you DON'T take it... Then we can talk about some 'vacation time' for you so you can be with your friends for Christmas. Any questions?"

Bray hummed. "Lord Lampwick... sir... if I took his voted legal way out of here, I would feel cheated. The reason I would feel cheated is this: Lord Surroccias gave me a Teleport Power to be able to teleport anywhere that I had been to before. When I got stuck in the Machine, the other donkey in a machine said that the machine would let me go, so I didn't teleport. I didn't feel it was necessary. When I got changed into a donkey and blissed by Maintenance Donkey... I couldn't remember that I had the power. When you rescued me and unblissed me and gave me the Changeling Donkey species... I slowly remembered that I had the power. But at that point, I thought, Lampwick saved my life. I owe him and I have to repay him."
He then said, "And now today... I was going to ask for permission to teleport back to Roarin' Rhoades for Christmas and maybe work out a back and forth deal with you so both places could benefit from my being there. But I do not want to give up being a Changeling Donkey. And that's why I'd feel cheated if I used someone else's earned exit from here. Send the other boy home. But let me have the deal I wanted to make with you. What do you say?"

Lord Lampwick smiles, "I say... Open your hand."

Bray opens his hand unsure of what is going to happen. He LIKES being what he is now. To lose the Changeling Donkey would make him feel as if everything he came through to get here was a lie.

The LB token glows gold and disappears. Lampwick grins, "Congratulations. You passed the REAL test of the Island. Virtue. You've always been in my opinion... Or you wouldn't have stayed or come to ask me. But you have a golden heart. You now have full permission to come and go as you wish and the Island's traps and tricks cannot cause any unwanted augmentation. You've EARNED your ability to come and go as you please. And you will ALWAYS have a job here." He grins, "But neither will it take anything from you either. In other words, you get permission from your friends to jointly work there, and you can work there any time you are not wanting to work here. And yes, yes, yes you keep your Changeling Donkey form." He laughs, "I wouldn't take that from you. It'd be cruel! Besides." He walks over and rubs on Bray, "You're quite the donkey stud." He winks, "Simple arrangements, no?" He chuckles, "I do hate I had to fool you like that but... well you won't blame and ole Jack too much will you?"

Bray smiled and KISSED Lampwick on the muzzle deeply! Then after a while, he says, "I can't leave right away. Just before I arrived here, one of the captains asked me to come help fix another broken ride and I gave my word that I would do it. It will take an hour and a half, but after that, I'll be ready to head out. Its the Chocolate Otter Dip ride. The one that dives the rider into chocolate like a diving otter and when they emerge they are doped up donkeys. Well, the emerger mechanism is fouled up. It takes you under and keeps you there. So, I have to fix it." And he heads off.

One Hour Later...
A calmed down Vincent and Valerian arrive in Lampwick's office. "Greetings Lampwick. It's been a while. We've come for someone..." says Valerian.

Lampwick says, "Ah! Valerian Mouse. How good to see you." He grins broadly, "I see you've managed to keep your ears and tail from regrowing. Really... You are here for someone... Don't tell me the stellar dragon is a donkey. That'd be too much of a laugh.... The Yak? No I would have noticed HER fireworks right away... do tell me."
