Bonus [Detective Tourney]

Detective Tourney Solos

Excellent Hosts 01.Dirk & Minos

‘Sup. It’s Dirk. Me and Minos have prepared for you all this bracket of the damned. A divine comedic trio of brackets if you will. What we’re about to do has not been approved by Jeanne Beatancourt so get your game on… and go play.

-The various shards of media tied to Detective Pony in one way or another.
-Classics (both of writing and music) and other things I (Dirk) am interested in.
-Metatext, self-inserts, authors and media with mysterious-ass felines.
-The afterlife, positions of power and music that would be made by Mozart if he was as good at making music as Pam is at riding a mother-fucking pony.

SOMEONE HAS TO REMEMBER [WR1 BRACKET]

~~~~~~
Led through the snow,
By the moonsetter’s hand,
All that was wrote, washed away.
Our surrealist ventures, mere echoes of truth,
But where will we go, now we’re long past the end?
It’s only begun, as the eight teams descend.
~~~~~~

Excellent Hosts 02.Over The Paddock Wall 

JB: Well then. It seems that Dirk has brought me back to work on another one of his projects. I would’ve thought he was purely done with this charade, but that is besides the point.
B: Sure is. 
JB: And for my return to Purgatorio, I’ve brought a recently made friend of mine to help me with my “hosting duties” or whatever he called them.
B: Hello. I’m Beatrice! And no, I’m not magic. People keep getting their hopes up about that.

Hello, everyone. I’e been called for an encore of some sort after that previous tournament. I don’t know where Dirk went but Jeanne said I was in charge. Okay sure. I was supposed to get bosses for the winners bracket and I was able to find some rejected contestants lying around on Dirk’s hard drive to spruce up and reuse. Onto the show, I guess.
