Hello There! My Name is Pelle Frid, The only
person working on Sixth Door to the Left and
creator of Divine Rodentia Studios. Before today’s
episode, I’ve got a great show to share with you
all. From Tlacuache Theatre comes The Devil’s
Plaything, a horror comedy about a guy named Greg,
who through no fault of his own dies
and is given a second chance at life
by a demon in exchange for killing people. It
is funny, anticapitalist and has demons in it,
what’s not to love? I’m dying to hear
more, and I think you might as well.
You can listen to The Devil's Plaything on
all the major Podcast apps, and subscribe to
ensure you never miss an episode. We’re gonna
play the trailer for it right now. Enjoy!

Gary Carrie: So uh what’s your name my man.
Greg: oh um Greg.
Drathralas: You should really consider
taking better care of yourself,
even my last host was not such
a disgusting oaf of flesh.
Greg: What is going on? How did I
get from the floor to the toilet?
Drathralas: In exchange for your continued control
of this fleshy bag you will bring to me more meat.
Greg: Dead? I I I can’t do that
Drathrals: Surely you must be joking, is that
not what humans are known for? I did accounting
for the somme, murder is the modus operandi
of all humans. You are dead. You have died
because of autoerotic asphyxiation.
Your next choices are quite simple.
*SINK RUNNING*

Now, without fur ther ado, Episode 2 of the Sixth
Door to the Left, The Mountain Troll’s Awakening.
*explosion* *dripping water*
*faint construction*
[Troll]: Mmmmmaaughhhh!
(Cave Echo) The Drummer is here, *bat squeeks*
seeking to blast me for my cursed deeds!
No, not the drummer,
people-folk in their iron steeds.
Such is their way,
taking my mountain away.
Hmmmm.
Long is the time I spent in these halls,
So very many nightfalls.
My treasure is immense,
So much so I must always be on the defense.
Hmmm.
I hear them now, breaking my home,
Evermore limiting the space I can roam.
Oh, how I wish to break the carapace,
*truck backing up*
Force them to forever leave this place.
I would tear and break asunder,
A proper and terrifying manhunter.
But as it stands I cannot do that,
My every move would make me fall flat.
For it is of iron these mounts are made,
And should I approach my power will quickly fade.
Bind me to the wielder’s will unbreakable,
Render me magically incapable.
Hmmmm.
[In the hall of the mountain king by Edvard Grieg
plays softly, growing in intensity over time]
Once, a bride to the mountain I took,
Only for a priest to read from the book.
Such terror such pain.
I wish not to suffer again.
Were it I only settled elsewhere,
I may have not been so ensnared.
Hmmmm.
For the hated iron is all surrounding,
Demanding, perhaps, my announcing.
Hmmmm.
*Coughs*
(Echo Stops) Haaaaa! *Teleportation spell,
electricity, construction work stops*
(Outside) *Brids singing*
[Construction worker]: What?
[Troll, changed his voice]:Take heed, people-folk,
and hear what I have to say,
I live in this mountain and wish to stay.
Say, then, please tell, how may one
stop this disquietude?
The noise, the rumble.
The clamor of a great magnitude.
If it’s riches you seek,
I could fill your bags within the week.
All I as is that for this churn,
You leave, to never return.
Leave this mountain, tear down your fences,
I beg of you, come to your senses.
For should you continue destroying my residence,
You will not be pleased
when you learn of my vengeance.
Hmmmm.
Your power over this world dwindles,
The protection brittles.
The book, the detested bells of old,
Helped you grow and expand, like mold.
Rewarded your cooperation would be,
And just as terrible my anger, if set free.
[In the hall of the Mountain King
crescendos and end] (Birds fade away)
