Ah! Friends, how I've missed you so! You're just in time. As you know, Vinny and Charlie escaped the F L I C K E R murder house. What they don't know: They're about to walk into another game of F L I C K E R. And on Vinny's 18th birthday, too! Such a tragedy. Well, it is Vinnae's birthday too. Oh! There's a little thing I forgot to mention. Elizabeth is back. And boy, her and Vinnae are dating. Alrighty! Let's jump in now, shall we?

Vinnae slipped into the tight, satin red dress Vinny had bought for them weeks prior to the party. Yes, it is beautiful. Yes, they do look hot as fuck in it. No, they don't like it. Actually, that's an understatement. They hate that dress. They hate most of the things Vinny does for them. Sometimes they...take advantage and they don't even notice. They brushed their hair and added a rose clip on the side for the extra pizazz. They grunted looking at their reflection. 

"Almost done?" Elizabeth peeked inside, innocently smiling.

"Almost." Vinnae subtly replied.

"No makeup?" Elizabeth questioned.

"Do I need it?" Vinnae groaned back, slipping on a pair of glossy beige heels.

"No, of course not.. But, don't you think it'll add to the beauty of the dress? Vinny put a lot of work into getting it for you."

"Fine. You're doing it, though. I can't stand doing makeup."

"Consider it done." Elizabeth replied with a chuckle. Then she went to work. Gee, I don't know what the hell Elizabeth is using mostly...- 'OMG' that eyeshadow is giving life of the party for sure!!... THAT EYELINER TOO!!! Okay, where do I sign up to get my makeup done by Elizabeth?

"All done." Elizabeth sighed. She handed Vinnae a mirror to hopefully admire themself.

"It's so....expressive." Vinnae basically gagged. They didn't, just to be clear. But to Elizabeth, they did. 

"Well, yes. It's your birthday, you should look like it."

"I'm not really looking to bring attention to myself."

" Oh, cmon. If anything that dress will bring more attention than the makeup."

"I guess you're right. I'm just antisocial. Attention just isn't my thing."

"Vinny wants you to look nice."

"Vinny doesn't exactly make the best decisions."

"Is this about Charlie?"

A sorrowful frown was cast upon Vinnae's face the moment Elizabeth mentioned Charlie. Oh, how they hate Charlie. 

"Let's just go downstairs, hm? Vinny is probably waiting." Vinnae replied, angrily.

"Of course." Elizabeth grabbed Vinnae's hand, but they pulled away.

"I can manage walking down stairs. I'm independent."
