**uh anyway URAINUS CAN YOU TELL US WHATS THE DEAL WITH THE MANOR?**

\*AHEM\* There are a lot of stories about the manor and it changes depending on who you ask. Some people say that the manor was built on Native American burial ground. Others say that someone died here and their ghost returns to haunt the living every halloween.

**WOW THATS PRETTY INTERES--**

**LETS GO IN!!**

support box and question box walk into the manor, where a butler is standing.

**HEY GUYS LOOK ITS ALFRED!**

if i had a penny for every time someone made that joke...Good Evening, gentlemen. My name is Moritmer and I will be guiding you through the manor tonight.

TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF, MORTY

Well, I worked for the previous owner of this establishment as a butler. He was a good man, always had a kind word to say.

**WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?**

He went missing one fateful night 7 years ago. Nobody knows where he went, even to this day.

**MAYBE IT WAS THE JOKER!**

QUESTION BOX HES NOT ALFRED GOD DAMMIT

Shall I show you around the compound?

PLEASE DO

the three walk up to the kitchen

This is the kitchen. The master enjoyed having large dinners where many many people were invited. We made food for nearly 100 people in one sitting!

**HOW ABOUT YOU SHOW US HOW ITS DONE?!**

I beg your pardon?

**MAKE ME A SANDWICH JEEVES**

The manor hasn't been inhabited for a decade! There's no way I could possibly--

LISTEN HERE WE'RE THE ONES PAYING FOR THE FRONKU CITY MANOR EXPERIECE NOW MAKE US A SANDWICH OR YOURE GETTING 1 STAR ON YELP

\*sigh\* as you wish.

AND MAKE MINE WITH EXTRA HAM!

mortimer walks out of the manor to the nearest grocery store

**DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING A LITTLE HARD ON HIM BOSS?**

IF YOU CANT TAKE THE HEAT, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!

**HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOURE SO RIGHT**

another bulter enters the kitchen

Good evening. Enjoying your stay so far?

ITS KIND OF SLOW RIGHT NOW

Don't worry, it'll get better. Much, much better.

the butler ominously laughs. support box and question box slowly join in.

I must go now. I must begin...preparations.

ALRIGHT YOU TAKE CARE OF THOSE BUD

**WHAT A NICE GUY HUH BOSS?**

YEAH MORTY SHOULD TAKE NOTES

mortimer returns to the kitchen with two sandwiches.

Here are your sandwiches. Let us move to the library.

**HEY JARVIS, SINCE THE MASTER WAS A RICH GUY, HE MUSTA HAD A LOTTA SEX AND STUFF RIGHT??**

Not entirely. The master preferred to focus more on philanthropy than pursuing sex.

**BOSS ARE YOU SURE THIS ISNT JUST BATMANS HOUSE**

QUESTION BOX YOU MIGHT BE ON TO SOMETHING

ILL BET THAT THERES SOME KIND OF SECRET PASSAGEWAY HIDDEN SOMEWHERE THAT LEADS TO THE BATCAVE.

once at the library, question box began throwing books off the shelf

My goodness! Stop that this instant!

RELAX MORTY, YOU DONT EVEN WORK HERE ANYMORE WHY SHOULD YOU CARE!

Because this manor means a lot to me! I spent years working here and making sure it was pristine and clean! You're undoing years of work!

question box grabbed a book and pulled it out to throw, but it tilted and the entire shelf split in half, revealing a hidden passageway.

**SEE! I TOLD YOU BOSS**

QUESTION BOX IM IMPRESSED

I won't let this continue any longer! I'm afraid I must ask you two to leave.

**GEOFFRY WHY CANT YOU JUST BE NICE LIKE THE OTHER BUTLER WE MET**

mortimer froze.

I'm the only staff member who came here tonight.

then who did we see in the kitchen?

a chainsaw was being revved. standing behind them was a man in clown makeup

*NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! TIME TO DIE!!!!*

mortimer screamed in terror but support box and question box cheered

FINALLY SOME EXCITEMENT!!

the chainsaw man was confused

*wait what im here to kill you guys! arent you gonna scream or cry or beg for your life?*

YOU KIDDING? THIS IS AWESOME! YOU HIRED A CLOWN FOR US MORTIMER?

**THATS THE SWEETEST THING ANYONES DONE FOR US**

*im serious guys im really here to kill you!*

he slices a chair in half

*the chainsaw is real!*

THE FANS ARENT GONNA BELIEVE THIS! WAIT WAIT I GOTTA TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS FOR MY BLOG!

support box brings out a camera

SPOOKY ON THREE! ONE TWO THREE!

the camera flashes bright and the chainsaw killer drops his weapon and covers his eyes

OH GOD THE FLASH! I CANT SEE!!

mortimer grabs support box and question box then runs through the secret passage

**HEY WHAT THE HELL BERTRAND WE WERE DOING SOMETHING BACK THERE**

I don't think I need to inform you that that man was going to kill us, but if it didn't get to you, that man was going to kill us!

IT WAS A COMEDY BIT!

We need to get out of here and alert the authorities. Follow me, this passage leads to a secret exit.

the three follow the path

SO MORTY WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE MASTER

He was very charitable with his excessive wealth. We servants were handsomely paid.

**WELL BOSS THIS JUST NARROWS THE OPTIONS DOWN TO TWO**

**EITHER BATMAN**

**OR A DRUG DEALER**

a chainsaw revved in the distance

We must keep moving lest the chainsaw man catches us. But be silent, you two.

behind them, the chainsaw became louder and louder. mortimer shoved them behind some cover. they were completely silent. the chainsaw stopped getting louder. in fact it began to fade

Alright, I think we're in the cle--

a loud crunching sound filled the passageway. next to support box, question box was chowing down on his sandwich from earlier.

QUESTION BOX WHAT THE FUCKSHIT WHY ARE YOU EATING NOW???

**I GET HUNGRY WHEN IM ANXIOUS!! PLUS THE SANDWICH IS DELICIOUS! TRY IT BOSS!**

support box took a bite of his own sandwich

GOOD GOOGLY MOOGLY! THIS IS A GOOD ASS SANDWICH!! YOU EVEN PUT IN THE EXTRA HAM!

the chainsaw got louder and louder now

You fools! You've doomed us!

**HEY CLOWN YOU WANT SOME OF MY SANDWICH?**

question box left the cover and began walking away from it.

Get down!

mortimer grabbed him and dragged him back under. the sandwich flew out of his hand and landed on the ground. the clown came from around the corner and slipped on it

*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!*

We need to keep moving!

**YOU MONSTER GO BACK I NEED TO GET MY SANDWICH!!**

the three kept running away until they finally made it to the end of the passageway.

Salvation!

**SO ALFRED YOUR MASTER WAS LOVED BY EVERYONE RIGHT? NO ENEMIES AT ALL?**

No enemies at all! Although there was one argument he got into with a private company. They wanted to buy manor for a lot of money, but he didn't want to. The manor was important to him. They left him alone, except for one agent. Things almost erupted into a fist fight before he left. One of the servants, Sullivan, even tried to get involved on the agent's behalf.

YOU DONT THINK THAT SOMEONE COULD'VE WANTED HIM...Y'KNOW, KILLED?

The master kept his chambers locked at all times. Only servants were allowed to be in his chambers while he was in the manor.

**WHAT IF IT WAS A SERVANT?**

Impossible. We were paid well, who would want to kill such a generous employer?

JUST HOW WELL PAID WERE YOU GUYS

We had 401ks, dentals, stock options...

**STOCK OPTIONS?! WHAT DID THIS GUY DO FOR A LIVING?**

He ran a popular retail company that specialize in pop culture merchandise.

support box and question box looked at each other.

HIS NAME?

It was--

Ulysses Johnston.

the three heard a gun click behind them. they turned around and saw a man in a suit pointing one at them!

The man's name is Ulysses Johnston and he is no longer with us.

It's you! The agent from 7 years ago! How did you get here?!

One of your servant friends let me in. This passageway might be useful for us. Maybe we'll keep it when we tear down the manor.

There's no way you'll ever get your mitts on the manor!

You say that, but the 7 year deadline is almost up. When it runs out, Ulysses Johnston will be declared legally dead and we'll be able to buy his property!

**WAIT A MINUTE**

**GEOFFRY IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SULLIVAN COLLABORATED WITH THE AGENT, SNUCK INTO ULYSSES' ROOM AND KIDNAPPED HIM?**

the agent slow claps

Excellent work, Question Box. You solved the mystery. Yes, I did bribe the servant with a large cut of our profits if he would help us. He entered Ulysses' room to drug and kidnap him. When we got a hold of him, we used hypnosis to render him insane. He was led outside and thrown into the streets. I found him outside his own manor today. He tried to sell me a bootleg copy of the Avengers. Ironic.

Where are you, Sullivan?! Show yourself, coward!

When we heard about Support Box hosting an episode here, we had Sullivan sneak in and dress up as a killer clown to stop you from snooping around.

*OH JESUS CHRIST SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I FELL ON TOP OF MY CHAINSAW*

Apparently, the dumbass slipped on a ham sandwich and sliced himself in half. The good news is that I don't have to pay him his cut anymore. As for you three, now that I told you the truth, you must die.

the agent cocks the gun

GOD DAMMIT I WAS ON TOP OF THE WORLD. NOW I HAVE TO DIE ON OUR SEASON PREMIERE!!

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET BITCH ASS MOTHERFUCKER!!!

a brick sails through the air and hits the agent in the head. he slumps on the ground.

urainus comes in from the passageway

I PUT THE HURTIN ON HIM!! THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO HUSTLE ON MY TURF!! TAKE THE FOOD OUTTA MY MOUTH I'LL PUT A BRICK IN YOURS!!

Wait, I recognize that voice!

urainus looks at Mortimer.

...Ulysses?

he smiles

M-mortimer? Is that you?

You're alive!!

the two embrace

Master Johnston! I knew you were alive! I just knew it!

I missed you and the entire staff, Mortimer!

mortimer and ulysses look at support box and question box

If it weren't for you two, I don't know where I'd be! Thank you!

still selling bootleg crap on the street?

If there's anything the master and I can do for you, just name it!

*oh god can someone help me please im bleeding out here*

well for one you could send us to AN ACTUAL HAUNTED PLACE! THIS PLACE WAS A DUD!

**YEAH THOSE ARE HOURS IM NOT GETTING BACK**

*oh mother of mary please someone call an ambulance*

 WE WANTED TO SEE SOME SCARY HORRORS, NOT TO SOLVE A MYSTERY! DO WE LOOK LIKE THE HARDY BOYS TO YOU?!

**LETS GO FIND THAT CLOWN WE CAN PAD THE HALLOWEEN EPISODE WITH AN INTERVIEW WITH HIM**

support box and question box walk through the way they came from

**LOOKS LIKE THE CLOWN DID THAT ONE 'SAW YOURSELF IN HALF' TRICK! AWESOME!**

## Trivia

* The two haunted places Question Box refers to as solved are references to the play Sweeney Todd and Five Nights at Freddie's.
