How It All Goes Down
Partridge (Cake)
- It's Partridge's engagement party. Hooray?
- Basically, everyone and their mother is at the engagement party. Even Foresteed, the man who is slated to take over the Dome after Ellery — that is, if Partridge doesn't take over.
- Mimi is there too, along with Iralene. Oh, and Arvin Weed is there.
- Partridge tries to get to Arvin, seeing that he might be Partridge's only hope, but people keep distracting him.
- He hears people congratulating Arvin too, which might be bad. Partridge wonders if he's already figured out the cure for Rapid Cell Degeneration.
- No one knows what Arvin has accomplished, though: they just know he's accomplished something. These people are such puppets.
- Partridge is just about to approach Arvin, but Foresteed starts to talk to him. He knows about the memory loss procedure Partridge needs to have done.
- Foresteed calls Partridge some nasty names and tells him he'll never rule. Seems like a nice guy.
- Finally, Partridge gets to Arvin (who was trying to get out of the party).
- Arvin won't tell Partridge his accomplishment, but he winks at him. We don't know if that's a good wink or a bad wink.
- He ends up whispering that his accomplishment is even worse than the cure. Oh boy.
- At this point, we don't know if Arvin is on Partridge's side, but he seems like his only hope. If he's lucky, Arvin might be able to do the procedure without erasing all of Partridge's memories.
- Then Iralene approaches them and acts like her normal, strange self. She's been taking lessons with teachers (and even Arvin) in the hopes of being able to engage in intelligent conversations with Partridge.
- She can't get any stranger. She really can't.
