#A Corporate Matter Episode: Can I ask you a quest-Jhin?

Vi "Dinner is served, Pulled Pork and Banana sauce."

Soraka "And for dessert, Banana cheese creme chili pie dogs!"

Garen "I have been waiting all day for this."

Zed "You two truly are masters together in the Kitchen."

KogMaw "Let us dig in on this magnificent meal."

Warwick "RED ALERT, WE HAVE AN INTRUDER IN THE BUILDING!!!!!" "Goes crashing through the dinner table, destroying everything."

Gnar "You just broke everything and ruined the whole dinner. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT NOW!!!!!!"

Warwick "QUIET IDIOT!! You must all hide, you are in mortal danger."

Vi "What are you talking about?"

Warwick "I smell someone odd in this building. Soraka, Sona, Vi, you three need to hide in the kitchen."

Soraka "Why the kitchen?"

Warwick "It's where you belong, I am sure you three know it best and can hide the best there."

Vi "Listen here bub, I am one second away from Knocking your lights out."

Warwick "We don't have time for this. You three, kitchen now! The rest, well, you are free to hide wherever you want."

Vi "Ok, you are going down now." "Begins beating on Guard Dog Warwick."

Jhin "If I had known you guys would start killing each other. I would have just let this piece of art finish itself."

Gnar "Screams like a little girl." "Ahyguhuah! I-i-i-its h-h-him."

KogMaw "What, that's no murderer. He's an actor in one of my favorite plays, Heimlet. How are you, Khada?"

Jhin "I am fine, much better now that I found all of you. Sorry to cause dismay, but Corporate Gnar is right. The primary antagonist of this story arc has arrived!"

Gnar "But wait, isn't your name Jhin, where is this Khada coming from?"

Jhin "Khada Jhin is my stage name of right now."

Gnar "It seems like your name changes every week."

Vi "Yeah, I thought you went by Deadeye."

Soraka "Pretty sure we are supposed to call him, The Virtuoso."

Zed "Back in my lands, They Called him The Golden Demon."

KogMaw "I still like Khada."

Sona "..."

Jhin "**OH JUST CALL ME JHIN FROM NOW ON! **I am sorry, that is too much emotion. Compose yourself, don't let them bring that out of you. Do re mi fa so la ti do, there we go."

Gnar "Do you talk to yourself often?"

Jhin "It helps with staying in character."

Soraka "How did you find us, you evil, handsome, slightly hot, monster!"

Jhin "Oh, I have connections in the entertainment business. There is only one person in Valoran who watches, so you think you can carry. They had your address. To be honest, I am rather disappointed that it's here. This place is so drab, not the epic stage I was hoping for."

Soraka "Stares angrily at Corporate Gnar."

Gnar "You were right, I shouldn't have watched it. But I can't honestly be the only one who watches it?"

Jhin "The show is an offense to good television. I could have made it better. Told them that me killing all the other contestants would be great for ratings. But alas, they declined. I think it's because that show hog Draven can't stand to have someone more handsome than himself on the show."

Teemo "You are far from handsome, jack."

Jhin "It's Jhin, not Jack."

Teemo "Look at my face, does it look like it cares."

Jhin "I would, but the whole invisible thing is making it difficult. Unless you work on that. You are never going to get anything but a sentence or two each week, if you're lucky."

Garen "I have had enough talk. DIE EVIL VILLAIN!"

Jhin "I don't think so." "Bang!"

Garen "Arrrgh! My shoulder."

Jhin "Yes, there is no getting near me when I have this long range of a root. I must say, you look so much better without that shoulder pad. Are the rest of you ready to Jhiness my true power. Ok, that is where I draw the line. It's bad enough you wrote me like this, but that terrible pun."

I know, it was bad.

Jhin "Alright Mr. Writer. No more of those puns, and you need to add in some rhymes. Otherwise, I quit."

Fine, but they need to be a reference to something, and one more pun.

Jhin "Great, now they hid somewhere. Guess they were too Jhintimidated by me. Alright, that one was even worse."

I enjoyed it, though.

Soraka "You think he will find us under this couch?"

Gnar "Hopefully not, I sent out a message to the police, so let's hope they get here soon. By the way, is Jhin still talking to himself about how bad his puns are?"

Jhin "I remember a girl. with tresses oh, that twist and twirl. And tempt me to be, nauuughty. Barbara my love was named, and her fair hair a mane untamed. Until one evening, I'm ashamed, I got a little, naaauuughty. The look upon my young lovers face was sweet as lace. but in this case, I realized she, needed space. I never more was naughty, well, maybe not never."

Vi "Hey yo, Freaky Fred, what did you do to that poor girl?"

Jhin "Just a little off the top, if you know what I mean."

Vi "Time to show you how we do things in piltover. SLAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!! D-"

Jhin "Nope, can't punch me without those beefy hands of yours. Shot through the heart, and I'm to blame. Darling I give acting, a good name."

Vi "My hands, there are so pale flimsy and useless. DON'T LOOK AT ME, I FEEL NAKED."

Jhin "Don't worry dear. This is your true self, your perfect self. Now, Sona. I see you hiding over there, how about you get the next bullet." "Shoots!"

Sona "Ow! right in my throat. Wait, I can talk. THIS IS AMAZING, I HAVE TO TELL-"

Jhin "Oops, that wasn't supposed to happen. Let me fix that with a grenade!" "Throws grenade!"

Sona "..."

Sona "!!!"

Jhin "There, you sound perfect."

Zed "I have had enough of this. Time to face the true power of Zed."

Jhin "Sorry, but that new item isn't out yet. So you can't kill me. Oh, and it looks like you stepped on one of my flowers. Time to feel my fourth bullet. I saved it just for you." "Final shotdown!"

Zed "AHHHH, MY FACE. IT HURTS SO MUCH."

Jhin "Not as much as the pain you have caused me. You look absolutely beautiful now. I have finished you four, unto the ones who were helping you. I see you two behind that couch."

Gnar "RUN! PHONERANG GO!"

Jhin "Playful little scamp, that really doesn't hurt."

Gnar "MUST KEEP TURING CORNERS, DON'T LET HIM GET A CLEAR SHOT AT ME!!!"

Jhin "Sweet Corporate Gnar, afraid I'll shoot your tail? That would just be weird."

Gnar "SORAKA! WHERE DID MY GUARD DOG WARWICK GO. HE IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ME!"

Soraka "I DON'T KNOW, HE JUST LEFT WHEN JHIN GOT HERE!"

Jhin "I grow tired of these games. Allow me to reach our end and bring upon the curtain call."

Gnar "TELL MY MONEY I LOVE IT!"

Jhin "Shot one!"

Gnar "Ow!"

Jhin "Two shot Blue shot!"

Gnar "It hurts!"

Jhin "It's cute how you are trying to run. My range is long enough to allow all to witness my glory. Three!"

Gnar "Getting, so, low."

Jhin "And four means death!"

Gnar "Goodbye cruel wor- Wait, I'm not dead?"

Shen "Huuuuuha. My ult saved you."

Jhin "Shen, we meet again. I didn't know you would be here. This makes things all the better."

Gnar "But, how did you know to ult me?"

Shen "Your guard dog came and pinged non-stop. So I listened."

Jhin "You here to try and lock me up again. Well, I shot Zed in the face. So you won't have his damage to help you this time. And that puny Q of yours won't do much."

Shen "You didn't kill Zed? Shame. But I got a new Q, want to see it?"

Jhin "I think I will just put a couple rounds in you instead. One! Two! Three! Wait, why are these dealing no damage?"

Shen "Yeah, I also got a dodge ability now. WELCOME TO SEASON 6 NOOB!"

Jhin "Well, that is far from fair. Now I have to reload."

Gnar "NOWS OUR CHANCE, EVERYONE JUMP HIM!"

Shen "FEEL THE POWER OF MY NEW SPIRIT BLADE, THAT ISN'T REALLY REAL BUT STILL HURTS."

Jhin "Back! back you dirty apes. You uncultured swine. You insignificant flys. I am true entertainment, I am true perfection. THERE IS NOTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ME!!!"

Volibear "THIS IS THE POLICE, COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP AND NOBODY GETS HURT!"

Gnar "What took them so long?"

Jhin "IT'S MUCH TOO LATE FOR THAT! I'M AFRAID PLENTY OF US GOT HURT, MYSELF INCLUDED."

Trundle "WELL, COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP AND NOBODY GETS CLUBBED!"

Jhin "Oh, would you club a few of us in here? I am sure they deserve it."

Caitlyn "Don't worry Vi, I will save you. I'M TAKING THE SHOT!" "BANG!"

Teemo "YOU MISSED, YOU IDIOT! THAT THING LANDED THREE INCHES FROM ME!"

Jhin "Another sniper, how beautiful. But, she isn't perfect, not yet any-" "Gets shot."

Caitlyn "Second times the charm."

(It seems that I made this one too long, and it is cutting off the ending. So I am going to put the end in a comment to this story. Sorry for any trouble this may cause.)
