Chapter 8: Rockfest, Episode 1

The Homosexual Crew appears!

**Series 8: Rockfest, Episode 1** is the eight chapter of YES and of Joey's Special Experience.

## Summary

Joost announces that she will fly to London for 2-3 days so the doctor will be responsible for all the dangers. She also advises to not take any drugs. The doctor breaks down into tears upon realizing he failed his job to kiss God. Joshar tries to talk to Joost, but his words are failing him. On the way to London, Joost notes that Joshar probably needs nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,

After Joost has left the manor, God takes out the ice mask and remarks that Satan is the devil, and his father's milk and drugs drift from the east (which God appreciates). God knows that Joost is aware of the existence of ghosts (stands), but Joost doesn't know that God is also aware of them too. This was triggered by wearing the ice mask. When God's mouth reaches for her skull, she comes out. God then goes into a mad rant about how he hates guns and knives, and wants a dog starting Wednesday. God also mentions that Joost has died at some point, and perhaps after this tragedy, God began to sell Joost's arts.

Meanwhile in London, the driver of the carriage Joost is in gets stuck because the EU is making him sad. He tells Joost that London is a very dangerous city, so Joost decides to continue her journey on foot (as if that would be any safer). She arrives in a place called Goblin Highway, which Joost doesn't care about. Before Joost leaves the driver, she mentions that she will still fight despite losing her rights.

Back in the manor. God decides to go to Goblin Highway because he wants to talk to Joost.

As Joost walks through Goblin Highway, she wonders what magazine the people of Goblin Highway subscribe to. She runs into a bad ending broken page where monsters are pulling through the wall. She is then ambushed by the Homosexual crew, led by Bullet Train. Bullet Train orders his men to slice up Joost's clothes and squeeze out her juices (VERY SUS). Joost decides to deal with these men the American way by eating nuts. Joost then threatens to use a tree to smash a man's dick, a rule in the EU. Another man tries to distract Joost by offering to invite her to see the legendary Chinese buttcheek art at the bar, but Joost just punches him, asking if he knows where toxic products are sold.

## Lore notes

* Joost is a nerd, NSAIDs include the likes of aspirin or Advil. You could’ve just said that. The fact that Joost makes such a big deal out of finding these common drugs implies a major pharmaceutical issue going on (plus only needing these medicines implies that Joshar really isn’t that sick).
* If the mask was made based off of Joshar’s wife/husband, then “she suffocated” may refer to this spouse. Their soul may be inhabiting the mask after dying in this manner. Maybe they’re Satan, summoned into existence into a similar manner as God, explaining their age being 6 at death…
* God once again confirms he is only 7 years old while talking about himself in the third person (as you do).
* God sees ghosts. Joost does too, and it’s unknown how God knows this. Also, God may be seeing the ghost of Joost’s mother in the mask.
* Joost apparently died a second time during an “investigation.” It is unknown how he was revived. Perhaps Dionysus resurrected him again if this had happened prior to her death.
* Joost has worn the mask before, apparently. Or it’s symbolism and God is a Dream stan.
* Unsurprisingly, London is the most dangerous city on Earth. Depressed people are advised not to go, presumably because they’d commit suicide at the thought of being there.
* Joost has lost their rights, presumably due to being seen as a drug addict. Though everyone there probably is.
* Israel is in Britain in this universe, considering the British did help establish the state in real life (though not until after World War 2). Israel being nearby could explain why Joshar uses Jew as an insult - there would be a large Jewish population living in the Israel part of Britain. Antiemetic asshole. God is clueless to where he is because he mentions a Christmas tree, and onlookers tell him to learn. Perhaps he’s only an atheist because he knows nothing about any religions.
* There is a World Health Constitution. No, the World Health Organization does not exist on 1888, nor is there outright confirmation of a world government and thus a world constitution. However, the world having a constitution, even if just for health guidelines, does show that a world government may exist.
* Shortly after, Joost mentions the rules of the EU. Is Britain a part of the EU? Is the EU a world government?
* One of the men says that his husband is king. King of what? Is the guy just that in love with his husband that he means the world to him? Very wholesome.
* A cat in Goblin Highway only eats kittens. Typical London.
* Joost is in second grade. The grade system may just work differently, but that’s not as funny.
