{Cut to Zarel's Room}

ZAREL: Shall we do it? Email opener! {in rhythm} Za-rel! Za-rel! Za-rel maaaaail!

subj: Pwning Powers

Dear Zarel
Since you are a dragon looking
thing, you should have some type
of powrs. Can you show them to us?
From,
Man (No Powers)

{Due to the lack of a comma, Zarel doesn't pause after reading "Dear Zarel" and says the senders name as "Manno Powers."}

ZAREL: {typing} Manno Powers? Like...are you Austin's long lost brother or something? Because that would be cool. {clears screen, resumes typing} So, do I have any cool powers? Yes, yes in fact I do. For one, there's my ability to control the wind to my own liking.

{Cut to the Locker Room, Coach Z and Homestar are there}

HOMESTAR: So, what were we teekin' about before? Hold on, Strong Bad check! {looks around, runs behind a locker} Aha! Thought you could hide from me, eh?

{A smack is heard and The Cheat flies from behind the locker offscreen}

THE CHEAT: MEEEEEH!

HOMESTAR: Alright, now that that's over with, what were you saying?

COACH Z: I was saying before that I blame it all on super tight pants.

HOMESTAR: Ooooh. Super-tight pants.

{Suddenly a breeze blows Homestar's hat off his head}

HOMESTAR: Oop! Hold on.

{Homestar picks his hat up and puts it back on}

COACH Z: Pants.

HOMESTAR: Coach Z, did you leave the windows open?

COACH Z: What windows? This place is air-tight! What is made here stays here!

{Zarel can be heard puking offscreen}

COACH Z: I blame that on pants, too.

{Cut back to the Cappy}

ZAREL: {typing} Urgh...I hate thinking about Coach Z's locker room. I don't understand why that isn't nominated the smelliest place in Free Country, nay, the entire world!

{Wind-Up Zarel pokes him on the shoulder}

ZAREL: {turns to him} Yes, my friend who doesn't break into my house because he lives here.

WIND-UP ZAREL: You have another email.

ZAREL: How did you know? {Wind-Up Zarel shrugs} Anyway...

subj: ancestry

Dear Zarel:
As a dragon, I can only assume you have
quite the history behind your family. Were
your ancestors the knight-eating kinds of dragons,
or the lucky Asian dragons, or what? I'm actually
genuinely interested, here!

- Skub

{Zarel reads "here!" as if he was giving someone something.}

ZAREL: {typing} So you really want to know my history behind my family don't ya, Yellow Skubmarine? Well, good luck then! You go research it youself! As for this email, can somebody give me aaaaaAAAAA-

DELETED!

ZAREL: {simultaneously} DELETED! {laughs manically}

STRONG BAD: You tell them, man! Delete all emails that have to do with parentals! Or...boxing gloves!

ZAREL: Housebreaker! Sic 'em, Wind-Up!

{Wind-Up Zarel jumps at Strong Bad, knocking him into the hall room, several punching noises are heard.}

ZAREL: Just remember, no hitting below the belt!
