Chapter XVI: Tax Season

(Angelic music plays, and wheels are squeaking.

The intro fades into a point of view of someone rolling a glass casket through the ministry)

(The angelic music and squeaking continue as the person rolling the casket is revealed to be Mr. Saltarian smiling content)

(The video cuts to Papa IV playing a video game called Driving Miss Daisy. Old-school video game music is playing)

[Papa VI, struggling with the video game]

Ugh. Hooh.

(A telephone rings, the video game is paused)

[Papa IV]

Hello?

[Sister Imperator]

Hello-o

[Papa IV]

Hello. Hey. Hey-yeah, hi. How are you doing?

[Sister Imperator]

I'm just fine. What are you doing?

[Papa IV]

I am doing my... Uh, receipts.

[Sister Imperator]

Receipts?

[Papa IV]

Yes

[Sister Imperator]

Like taxes-receipts?

[Papa IV]

They are taxing

[Sister Imperator]

Well, that's responsible

(The video cuts back to the angelic music and the squeaking wheel. Mr. Saltarian is whistling)

(The video cuts back to Papa IV's room)

[Sister Imperator, (Papa IV)]

Well, I have news. (Mhm)

You know that U.S. [?] tour? (Mhm)

Well, you are doing one indoors (Mhm, mm)

Guess where it is? (Mhm) It's at the L.A. Forum!

(Mhm!)

(The squeaking coffin rolls by Papa's open door. Ominous music starts playing)

[Papa IV]

That's cool. That's... That's very fabuloustic

(The coffin keeps squeaking by Papa's door. Mr. Saltarian looks into the room with an ominous grin on his face)

[Sister Imperator]

Fabuloustic?

[Papa IV]

Uhm... Cool. Very cool. That's-a....

(Mr. Saltarian is shown closer in slow motion, still with an ominous grin on his face)

[Sister Imperator, (Papa IV)]

Are you zoning out? (Mhm)

[Papa IV]

No, no I'm not

(Sister Imperator hangs up.

Papa unpauses the game as Sister Imperator enters the room)

[Papa IV]

*Startled noises*

[Sister Imperator]

Counting your receipts, are you?

[Papa IV]

*sighs* Well, yes.

[Sister Imperator]

Mhm

[Papa IV]

Are we doing some sort of spring cleaning today or something? I saw one of them old coffins being rolled around for... For airing, or what?

[Sister Imperator]

That wasn't an old coffin. That's a brand new, additional coffin

[Papa IV]

Huh?

[Sister Imperator]

But you don't have to worry about that.

Remember - Jesus is coming!

(Sister Imperator walks out of the room)

[Papa IV]

Huh. Jesus... Finally!

Okay, this game here...

(A prompt is shown on the video game with the text;

"Miss Daisy: Drive me to church will you"

There are two options shown;

A: Of Course, miss Daisy

B: Fuck off, miss Daisy)

[Papa IV]

Hm

(Papa clicks alternative B, "Fuck You, Miss Daisy" and a loud ding is heard with the text "Game Over")

[Papa IV]

Ugh
