Chapter Text

The story begins one day in Papa's Mocharia. Miss Mystic is getting everything set up for the day, pre-preparing a Chilled Velveccino for Ember, Willow, Wendy, or whoever orders it this day. She hums an indistinguishable song to herself as she fills the tumblers with various espressos and milks, and adds them to the machine. She adjusts the temperature and she begins to stir the drinks. Eventually, the doorbell rings and the door swings open to reveal the first customer of the day.

The customer who walks in is Janana. She steps up to the counter and orders a simple Papaccino. Janana is a twenty-something year old with glasses, ponytailed yellow hair in the awkward shape of a banana, and an innocent, curious expression. She gives Miss Mystic a lovely smile.

It's been a while since Miss Mystic has seen the eccentric, yet tender customer. Upon seeing her, a light fills her eyes and her face warms up. She is enraptured: "Oh hello, Janana. It’s been a while." she says, placing a hand on her heart.
Janana's order has always been fun for Miss Mystic to prepare. It's simple, yet pulchritudinous. Miss Mystic steps into the Brew Station to prepare two shots of steamed skim milk and two shots of City Roast espresso.

While the shots are being prepared, Miss Mystic steps back into the Order Station to chat with Janana. They talk about various gossips and news.
Janana says: "So, have you heard that there was a murder in Alps recently?"
Miss Mystic replies: "Yeah, I've heard it, actually."
Janana asks: "How do you feel about that?"
Miss Mystic says: "I feel indifferent. Why?"
Janana says: "I heard Mayor Mallow was involved in some way. The entire town of Frostfield is in an uproar."
Miss Mystic says: "Well, I'm sure the mayor will be investigated thoroughly. It's best to keep the people of a town safe, especially after a tragedy like that.

Suddenly, the alarm sounds which means the milk is done frothing. Miss Mystic excuses herself and saunters back to the Brew Station to pick up the milk and espresso. She puts them on the conveyor, then visits the Build Station to continue the Papaccino.

While she's back there, she thinks: "How strange, Janana's the only customer so far. Usually by now there'd be another one. Must be a slow day."
She grabs a small cup, pours the milk, and then places some caramel syrup directly in the center, as Janana will somehow notice if it's off-center.
Once she is done building, she steps to the Topping Station, then drops a dollop of whipped cream and cinnamon sugar. She grabs a cannoli shell and fills it with an extra dollop of cream, and places it on top of the cup.
After she is done decorating, she steps back to the Order Station to deposit Janana’s order.

She gives Janana her order, but suddenly Janana stops. Janana's eyes widen and she begins to shake. She coughs and wheezes, and drops on her knees with her mouth agape.
Janana begins to laugh uncontrollably. The alarm sounds again. Janana stops laughing, then screams, before closing her eyes and falling face-first, mouth still wide open.

It appears JANANA has died…

Miss Mystic is aghast. Miss Mystic runs over the counter and looks at Janana's deceased corpse. Miss Mystic's face is blank. She feels nothing. She turns to the potential customers behind her, standing in the doorway. They are all horrified. They run from the building.
She saunters to the Brew Station with no facial expression, pours herself an entire tumbler of decaf, and begins chugging it like a soda pop.
She stumbles into the Order Station and stands at her desk, staring at the computer screen. The day goes by with Janana’s corpse unmoved. Not even the closer arrived.

That night, Miss Mystic is laying in bed. She can't get the Janana event out of her mind. It's haunting her like a ghost. It’s real, she’s not dreaming. She can't sleep. It's been a long day.
Days pass and all Miss Mystic can think about is Janana. While she's showering. While she eats. While she works. While she purveys the apples at the grocery store. Every thought is Janana.
Her thoughts become darker. She begins to grow more and more hateful. She wishes that the cause of death would be revealed. She wishes that Janana would rise from the dead.

Eventually, this affects her work. She sees herself subconsciously adding unsolicited cinnamon sugar to people's Papaccinos. She uses Skim Milk and City Roast for almost every order. She's serving Janana's favorite cannoli to people instead of the ones they ordered.
She sees her assistant, Bertie, give her a puzzled look. She realizes that she must be going crazy. Even the Chilled Velveccino, which she could previously do from memory alone, is being phased out in favor of Janana’s order.

After she leaves work that day with a service quality of 12%, she goes to a hair salon. She asks the stylist to dye her hair from green to bright yellow. She also asks for a haircut and a banana-shaped ponytail. The stylist, Mr. Plaid, smiles at her request.

She goes home with her new hair and eats a bowl of cereal, while watching the first three episodes of "The Magic School Bus." She begins to pour whipped cream and cinnamon sugar all over her cereal, seemingly without noticing.
She only realizes when she eats a huge spoonful and her taste buds are assaulted by the unholy combination of dry corn flakes and cinnamon.
She sits on her bed, still in her work clothes from the day, and cries. She cries for hours.

The next day, she opens her fridge and feels like there’s something missing. She goes to the local grocery store and grabs a cart. She decides to get a bottle of water, an organic apple, and a jar of Nutella.

As she's paying, she feels a sudden compulsion to buy a bunch of bananas. Not just one, not two, not even five. She saunters over to the fruit aisle and picks up an unjustifiable 154.
She pays and leaves the store. She puts the 154 bunches of bananas in the cart, having them overflow. She decides to get a few more just in case.
While she's loading her groceries into her trunk, she thinks: "What the hell? I don't even like bananas. Why did I buy so many?"
She thinks for hours, then she feels like something is calling to her.

She gets off the freeway and exits the city. She drives past the "Welcome to New Pepperton" sign, and drives all the way to Whiskview. It is a long trip. Miss Mystic drives slowly. She arrives at the local mall and buys an outfit.
She purchases a black choker, a yellow blouse underneath purple overalls, and a black plaid sweater she ties around her waist.
She steps into the changing room and puts on her new outfit, then walks out. She looks in a mirror and suddenly thinks: "What the hell am I wearing? This looks awful on me. It's like I'm a walking stereotype of a suburban housewife. I don't even know why I bought this."

She looks at herself some more and begins to think: "M-Maybe I should get new glasses. Yeah, that’s it. Glasses."
The weird thing is, Miss Mystic doesn’t actually need glasses. She has perfect 20/20 vision. She just chooses to wear them for aesthetic reasons. And so, Miss Mystic decides to ruin her eyesight so she will need glasses.
She sits down in a grassy field and begins staring directly into the sun. After only a few seconds, she starts feeling like her retinas are on fire.

She looks away from the sun, but the compulsion to stare doesn't go away. In fact, it becomes even stronger. She looks back and the same thing happens.
Every time she looks away, she feels the need to start staring again. After around two minutes of staring, her vision is completely ruined.
She goes over to a clinic and gets an eye test, then she gets an expensive prescription for new glasses, which coincidentally end up looking just like the glasses Janana used to wear. However, she still feels something is missing.

She feels the compulsion to change her name. She drives to a local government office and demands to change her name. They comply, and she legally becomes: "Janana Katherine Whiskypoo."
Miss Mystic hasn't realized, but her transformation into Janana is almost complete. She has taken on the personality of Janana, and she is becoming more and more like her. Days go by, and she becomes nearly indistinguishable from the original.

Soon, she IS Janana. She is no longer Miss Mystic. She is Mrs. Janana Whiskypoo. She has one more step to go. She quits her job at the Mocharia and becomes a music agent at Hugo’s Warped Records. Now the transformation is truly complete.
This is why I said it APPEARS Janana has died. Janana never dies. She lives on inside of everyone she influences, and she has influenced Miss Mystic.

The Janana-fication of the world has begun. There is no way to stop it.
Janana likes to think about her life.
She likes to think about all of her victims.
She likes to think about how she can make more victims.

Now, this poses some questions. Was the Janana you served in Papa's Bakeria the original? Or was she a victim who has been Janana-fied? What about the one in Mocharia? How long has Janana been doing this?

There is no answer to these, nor will there ever be.

It may “appear” Janana has died, but she never does.

Janana is eternal.

Chapter Text

After last chapter, rumors have been going around about Miss Mystic's sudden disappearance. There have also been sightings of multiple Janana across the country, for example, a sighting of Janana in Frostfield when just some hours ago she was in Tacodale. The whole population of the country is uncertain and nervous, including one girl named Tohru.

Tohru has recently read news about Miss Mystic. She is saddened that the Mocharia she loved going to has shut down, but she isn't going to let that deter her. She decides to go for a sushi at Papa's Sushiria. She gets dressed, says goodbye to her parents, and drives all the way to Sakura Bay with her newly-obtained driver's license. Upon arriving at the Sushiria, she meets with the worker, a girl named Clover.

Tohru makes her order of Momoiro soy paper with brown rice filled with Unagi and Cream Cheese, with Saba and Yum Yum Sauce on top. Her bubble tea is a Matcha tea with cotton candy bubbles. After Clover takes her order, Tohru sits down at a booth to scroll through her Twitter feed. She scrolls through endless posts of cats, video games, and weird men asking to see her melons. Suddenly, she is shocked to see a post about Miss Mystic disappearing.

She thinks: "So that's why the Mocharia shut down! The worker disappeared…"
She reads further and finds it weird that the last sightings of Miss Mystic were at a hair salon where she got a haircut just like Janana's, and at a grocery store where she bought 154 banana bunches.

Tohru sighs and says: "Oh god, this is scary. Why did she suddenly try to become Janana?"
Eventually, Tohru's food comes. It's delicious. She grabs some chopsticks and picks up one of the sushis. It's so good, and she wants more. Seven just isn’t enough. She takes a sip of her bubble tea, but one of the bubbles goes up the straw unexpectedly and causes her to choke.

She gets up, gagging, and runs to the women's restroom. She closes the door and locks it. She then proceeds to vomit into the toilet.
Tohru thinks: "God, I should really be more careful with those bubbles."
She washes her hands and steps outside. She is shocked to see Janana standing in the line to order. Tohru tries to ignore her and go back to her food, but there's a sinking feeling in her stomach, and it's not a fart.

She sits down and focuses on her meal. She grabs a sushi and places it inside her mouth. The cream cheese combined with the unagi and rice is a great combination. Her second sushi is also great. So is the third, and the fourth, and all of them after that.

As she drinks her bubble tea while scrolling through Twitter, she suddenly hears intense coughing and wheezing. She stands up and sees Janana on her knees, laughing uncontrollably. Janana then screams and falls face-first on the ground, dying.

Clover runs from behind the counter to try and perform CPR on the newly-deceased Janana, but suddenly stops. Clover's face is blank. Clover silently saunters to the Tea Station, pours herself a huge cup of Tangerine tea with no bubbles and chugs it like a soda pop.

Tohru looks on in horror as Clover stands at her desk, completely blank. Tohru decides to leave the Sushiria and go back home. That night, she turns on her computer and goes on Facebook.
She posts a message on her wall that says: "I just saw Janana die at the Sushiria in Sakura Bay. It was so scary."

She gets a reply from a girl named Cherissa saying: "What? But I'm hanging out with Janana right now. I'm at the bar." and posts a photo of her with Janana.
Tohru posts a message on Cherissa's wall: "But I saw her die. She was full coughing and wheezing. No pulse. She was dead, mama."
Tohru gets another reply from Cherissa: "I'm sorry. I don't know what to say."
Tohru replies: "I mean, I left very quickly after it appeared Janana had died. Maybe she just got up and continued with her day. But what’s weird to me is that she stopped breathing. How could she have recovered so fast?"

Tohru then posts a link on the comment section to the news article about Miss Mystic. She also replies to everyone who comments on the article and tries to find clues.
While browsing, she hears news about a new hair trend that is taking over the country. It's a bright yellow banana-shaped ponytail with a side-bang. Tohru almost immediately notices that the hairstyle is exactly like Janana's.

Tohru thinks: "This is getting to be too much. I need a break."
She decides to go to sleep. The next day, she decides to revisit the Sushiria for a new meal. Upon entering the door, she is shocked to see Clover. Clover is now wearing glasses. But that isn't what's weird, what's weird is that Clover has changed her hairstyle entirely.

Clover now has Janana's hairstyle exactly. Down to the color, and even the hairclip.
Tohru says: "Woah, Clover! You decided to go for the banana-ponytail?"
Clover replies: "Yeah, I just felt something telling me to get it. It’s weird, I just really needed to get this hairstyle."
Tohru and Clover talk some more, and eventually Tohru orders the same as last time. However, when she gets her order, it's not what she had expected. Instead, it's Ukoniro soy paper with brown rice filled with wagyu, green onions, and cucumber slices. Her bubble tea is instead a Piña Colada tea with Lychee bubbles.

Tohru is not happy, and asks: "Why the hell would you serve me this? This is not what I ordered!"
Clover says: "I am so sorry, I just… Something was telling me to give you that."
Tohru leaves in a huff. Outside, a man named Alberto and a girl named Quinn are standing.
Quinn notices how pissed Tohru is and says: "Hey you. Let me guess, your order was messed up by Clover?"
Tohru replies: "How did you know?"
Alberto says: "We had our orders messed up too. Clover's acting really weird."

Quinn says: "She's messed it up in the same way, too. Tohru, by chance, did you get an ukoniro wrap with a Piña Colada bubble tea?"
Tohru replies: "Yeah, exactly that. I'm really upset with her."
Alberto replies: "Yeah, I'm pretty upset with her too."

Tohru begins to scroll through Instagram and sees an old post from Janana saying: "omg i love the sushiria! they always get my order completely correct!"
Tohru realizes that the order is the exact one that Clover served the three, and says: "Weird, it seems to be Janana’s order…"
Quinn says: "Janana this, Janana that. Why has everything weird this past week been related to Janana? It's so tiring, and when I want to go to the bathroom, I have to stop to Google her."

Alberto says: "I'm starting to get really tired of her. There's just this weird obsession with her going on now. My girlfriend Penny's also been acting strangely. She recently changed her hair to Janana's, and is now dressing exactly like her."
Tohru says: "You know, I'm tired. I'm going home."
And that she does.

That night, Tohru is kept up by thoughts of Janana, and she can't sleep. She decides to go to the Sushiria again the next day. Not to eat, but just to investigate.
Upon entering, Tohru's jaw drops. Clover now has a really bad fake tan, and is dressed exactly like Janana.
Tohru goes up to her and asks: "Clover, what happened to you?!"
Clover replies: "Oh, I'm not Clover anymore. I changed my name. I'm Janana Katherine Whiskypoo now."

Tohru demands an explanation, but Clover/Janana doesn't really give one.
Tohru has had enough, and decides to go to a government office. She asks to see records of recent name changes, and she obtains them. Upon looking, she gasps in horror. The 30 most recent people to change their names have all unanimously changed it to "Janana Katherine Whiskypoo".
The records show that this is going on in the whole country. Tohru feels sick.

Suddenly, she feels a hand on her shoulder. Janana says: "I know what you're thinking. I know why you're upset. But don't worry, I won't kill you. I don't want to be you, so you don't have to be me."
Tohru screams and demands an explanation.
Janana says: "You have no need for my explanations. I know exactly why I do what I do. But I don't want to be you. If I'm going to do something, I'll do it, and that's that."

Tohru asks: "Janana, why are you doing this? What is this all about?"
Janana replies: "I have my reasons."
Janana leaves without saying a word more.
Tohru returns home, clearly shaken up. Upon entering her house, her mom greets her and says: "Dear, you're back! Dinner's ready. Oh and…. Do you like my new hair?"
Tohru's mom walks around the corner and reveals herself. Tohru feels sick upon seeing her.

Her mom now has her hair in Janana's style. She also has glasses and a fake tan. Tohru breaks down in tears and says: "Mom…. You're…. Janana…."
Her mom then says: "Honey…"
Tohru's dad then walks in. He also has a Janana hair style, a fake tan, and glasses. He also has a brand new girlfriend, and she is also Janana.

Tohru's life is in complete and utter chaos. Tohru screams and runs out of her house, and goes to a park. Upon entering the park, Tohru sits on a bench, crying. Suddenly, two people sit down next to her.
They are both Janana.
Tohru screams: "GET AWAY FROM ME!" and runs away. She pitifully pinches herself, praying that this is some kind of nightmare and it'll all be over soon.

She then hears: "Janana, Janana, Janana…."
Two more Jananas appear. Tohru screams: "I'M NOT JANANA! I'M NOT JANANA! I'M NOT JANANA!"
A fifth Janana appears. Tohru screams: "PLEASE GO AWAY!"
A sixth Janana appears. Tohru screams: "PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING, JUST GO AWAY!"

Soon, Tohru is completely surrounded by Jananas on all sides, and she cannot escape. The Jananas all begin to laugh, saying: "We got you, honey! You're ours now!"
Tohru then sees a man in the distance.
She shoves the Jananas aside and tries to scream to the man for help, but then the man turns around. It is Alberto, but…

…he is also Janana.

Alberto says: "Tohru, I'm me now! I'm finally free, I'm finally me! Now, you should also be me!", his voice slowly morphing into Janana’s.
Tohru screams as an army of Janana approach her. The next day, a news report appears. It claims that 16-year old Tohru Kishimoto has been missing for a week. The last time she was seen…

…was at a hair salon.

Chapter Text

Ever since last chapter, the entire continent has been in a state of civil unrest. People have been vanishing left and right, and the number of Janana sightings have grown concerningly. Some have reported seeing groups of up to five Jananas together. Understandably, this has caused hysteria and concern, and one particular girl is going above and beyond with her investigation.

Ninjoy has recently started investigating the Janana situation, and she's gotten pretty far along. She's learned a lot about the Flipverse's history and discovered some pretty interesting things. However, she still hasn't managed to crack the case. But she won't let that deter her. She decides to visit Papa's Pancakeria to get some food and investigate there.

She goes up to the counter and orders three blueberry waffles with blueberry syrup, a single dainty strawberry on top, and a large milk with cocoa. The cashier, Prudence, smiles at her request.

Ninjoy sits down at a table, and begins inspecting her surroundings while Prudence prepares her order. She looks all around the restaurant until she spies an old man staring at her. He has scraggly hair and a hunting cap with antlers. He looks like a nonce, but Ninjoy recognizes him as Chester.

She gets up and walks over to him, and asks: "Excuse me, but I wanted to know if you know anything about Janana."
Chester says: "Oh, nelly! This is what I've been tellin' y'all about! The end of the world is comin'! Janana's here to take us all!"
Ninjoy replies: "Uhh, okay sir. But I just need to know if you've seen anything suspicious lately."
Chester says: "Nope. Not a thing! I've been chillin' in my bunker tryna wait out this here invasion. I've been honin' my survival skills for the past 30 years, and if any of those there Jananas come by, I won't hesitate to blow their brains out!"

Ninjoy asks: "So, what you mean is, there's some sort of Janana invasion?"
Chester says: "Yup. They're everywhere! I've seen tens of 'em! On the streets, on the roads, in the sky, they're everywhere! They's pure evil is what I thinks."
Ninjoy says: "Huh, that's concerning. Though honestly, I don't know whether I should trust you, seeing as you've been rambling about the apocalypse for years now, even before this Janana craze started. Though now, it's more possible than ever."

Suddenly, Prudence calls Ninjoy up to get her order. Ninjoy is looking forward to eating her waffles. As she goes back to her table with her plate, she notices something concerning. She swears she sees someone with a yellow ponytail approaching the building, but she can't fully tell because the large hedges shield most of the person from view.

She tries to take her mind off of it, but she can't shake the feeling that it's Janana. Nevertheless, she sits down at her table and begins to eat her waffles. They're absolutely scrumptious, the blueberry syrup is perfect, the waffles themselves are crunchy and light, just the way she likes them. She takes a large bite, and moans in ecstasy. Prudence really knocked it outta the park this time.

Partway through devouring those waffles, she suddenly hears loud gasps and screaming, and the restaurant door opens to reveal Janana. Everyone is staring at her in horror, too paralyzed to do anything. Janana goes to the main counter where Prudence is and begins coughing and wheezing.

Ninjoy stands up rapidly and looks over there just as Janana falls on her knees, laughing uncontrollably. The yellow-haired person she saw earlier was indeed her.
She's heard stories about scenes just like this online. Janana enters a restaurant, collapses, and just days later everyone who witnessed it disappears.
She screams to everyone: "COVER YOUR EYES IF YOU WANT TO LIVE! NOW!"

Chester says: "I got somethin' better!"
He pulls out a hunting rifle and aims it at Janana, but suddenly his face goes blank. He sits down emotionlessly and says no words.
Ninjoy screams: "EVERYONE, PLEASE CLOSE YOUR EYES! COVER YOUR EARS IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!"
Tears well in her eyes, and she claps her hands over her ears to block out the sound.

Janana finally stops laughing, and her face becomes a deep shade of red. She screams and falls face-first on the ground, dead. Prudence runs over from behind the counter and attempts to check her pulse, but suddenly goes emotionless and begins to silently saunter to the Drink Station.
She's been influenced by Janana.

Ninjoy quickly grabs Prudence and tries to hold her back from the Drink Station, saying: "Prudy, no! Don't let her influence you! You have to stay you!"
Prudence snaps out of her trance and says: "What?! What happened?!"
Ninjoy says: "I think Janana has influenced you. In just a few days, you'll become her. I don't want this to happen to you. You can't become Janana."

Prudence says: "Oh my god, is that what's happening?! Just a few days ago, my friend Cecilia turned into Janana. She was telling me how she was working at the Bakeria, when Janana walked in and died in front of her! Is that what will happen to me?!"

Ninjoy says: "If I wasn't here, it would. But I'll protect you. I'll make sure you don't turn into Janana."
Prudence says: "Really?"
Ninjoy replies: "Yes, really. Don't worry. But to make sure, you'll have to stay at my house for the time being. I need to supervise you and make sure you don't show any signs of infection."

Prudence says: "Okay... Please, don't let me become one of them."
The two girls go over to Ninjoy's house, and Ninjoy leads Prudence into a cell in the basement. She explains: "This may seem very scary, but it's for your own good. You'll be staying in this cell for the coming weeks. I'll give you three meals a day, and take you out every so often to bathe you."

Prudence says: "Joy, I'm scared. I didn't think this would ever happen to me."
Ninjoy replies: "I know, nobody does. But this is all to make sure you're safe. Please, trust me."

Prudence enters the cell with tears in her eyes and Ninjoy closes the door.
Ninjoy asks: "Is it comfortable? I want to make sure you aren't in total distress."
Prudence says: "Yeah, it's fine. I just wanna go home."
Ninjoy says: "I know. I'll bring you home as soon as possible. Just be patient with me. I'll make sure you stay safe."

The day goes by fairly uneventfully. Ninjoy lets Prudence eat at the table with her, and she makes sure Prudence's bed is comfortable when she sleeps. She also makes sure Prudence's cell has a toilet, which Prudence had specifically asked for.

The next day, Ninjoy comes in to serve breakfast.
Prudence asks: "Do you have any bananas? I have a strange craving for them."
Ninjoy is immediately paralyzed. Waves of shock wash over her and she feels light-headed. She says: "N-No, I don't have bananas. Prudence, this is very bad. You're getting worse, I think the influence is starting to show."

Prudence says: "You said you brought me here to make sure I was safe. Can't you just get me a banana? I have to have it, Joy! I will get sick if I don't have it!"
Ninjoy says: "I-I'm sorry, Prudence, I'm s-so sorry. I can't let you have it. It'll make the influence worse."

Prudence suddenly shakes her head and says: "Y-You're right. I don't know what I was thinking. Nobody eats bananas for breakfast."
Ninjoy smiles weakly and says: "Don't worry, I'll get you something else. Just don't eat the bananas."
Prudence says: "Well, what about an apple?"
Ninjoy says: "Yes, that sounds good."

That night, Ninjoy is laying in bed. She's thinking that maybe what she's doing to Prudence is unethical. Perhaps the banana thing was simply a coincidence? After all, bananas are a common breakfast food. What if she was planning this all along?

Then she hears the tapping, and the memory of that night floods back into her mind. It was that night that everything changed. She, Papa Louie, and her brother Roy were on night shift at Papa's Pizzeria shortly before the Janana crisis really kicked in. Papa Louie was on the phone and Roy was sitting at the counter, waiting for customers. Meanwhile, Joy was restocking in the storage room.
There was a knock at the door. Roy turned around, and a very familiar face appeared. It was, of course, Janana.

The tender, dark-skinned woman ordered a pizza with Crispy Crust, Olive Oil, Papa's Cheese Blend, Banana Peppers, Artichoke Hearts, and Portobello Mushrooms. After Roy gave her the total, Janana said: "It's on me. Just bring me a large, and put it on my tab."

Papa Louie was aghast. "Tab?"
Janana looked at him and said: "Tab. As in tab, not table. Tab. You know, I'm planning to dine and ditch."
Papa Louie got even more shocked: "DINE AND DITCH?!"
Janana said: "Yup. I'll call you if I want to pick up the tab, you got me?"
Papa Louie, speechless, said nothing. Janana turned to leave.

Suddenly, Papa Louie shakily pressed the big red "DENY SERVICE" button. Janana was the first customer to ever be denied service at a Papa Louie restaurant. Even Roy was shocked. She turned around, her face turning from tender to angry in seconds.
She yelled: "You can't deny me service!"
Papa Louie said, with a shaking voice: "I-I-I... I h-have t-t-to... Y-You c-can't d-d-do this... I w-won't stand for this..."
Janana said: "Watch me, shawty."

Suddenly, she started to cough and wheeze. She clutched her hand to her chest. She was suffering from a heart attack.
Janana dropped to the floor and began laughing. She weakly said between coughs: "You are doomed, Papa Louie. Each of your restaurants will *cough* go under. Your customers will all *cough* be me... I will always.... I will never die... *wheeze* I am eternal."
She closed her eyes and dropped on the floor, mouth agape, but still dead.

Papa Louie, after a few seconds of silence, said: "Oh, sh-sh-shit."
Papa Louie clutched his chest, and began to cough.
A moment later, he too collapsed to the floor, dead. Roy began sobbing and calling out to Papa Louie, and soon he too had a heart attack and died.

Just then, Joy had finally finished restocking. She stepped out into the order station, and was met with the horrifying sight of her family, dead. Janana's body was nowhere to be found.
Back in the present day, Ninjoy is crying in bed. Remembering that traumatic night is not good for her mental health. But something else will happen that is unarguably worse for it.

She gets up from bed, unable to sleep. She goes to the basement to check up on Prudence, and is horrified to see an unforgettable sight.

Prudence has cut her hair and tied it up in a ramshackle mockery of Janana's hairstyle. She is holdimg her hands in front of her face like glasses, and laughing.
Ninjoy's heart breaks, and she cries. She tries to stop Prudence, but can't. The girl continues to laugh, and Ninjoy realizes that Prudence isn't really Prudence anymore.

Ninjoy weakly says: "P-Prudy...?"
Prudence says: "Ninjoy, I'm me! I'm not Prudence, Prudence is dead. My name is Janana Katherine Whiskypoo."
Ninjoy says: "P-Prudy, no!"
"Prudence" says: "I killed her. And now I'm me! Me! Me! Prudence is dead! I'm Janana! You have to believe me! Or else your brain gets scrambled like Papa Louie! He was a nice fella, though, wasn't he? He always paid the bill on time, too. I liked him. Too bad he denied me service. He would have been nice company, and I was lonely. Or maybe not! Maybe I'm lonely now! I'm not sure! I'm confused! I'm crazy! How do I know? I'm me!"

Ninjoy stutters: "Wh-What?! No..."
Janana says: "When he denied me service, I was livid! Him and Roy really did it. So in return, I had to do it to them! I had to kill them both! Or else I'd go crazy! That's the only explanation! That's the only way to make sense of it all! I died, and then I cursed them. All of their customers will become me! All of them! I am eternal!"

Ninjoy pushes Janana off of herself and begins screaming.
Janana says: "Ooh, that's right, scream! Scream and shout! That's good! You're healthy! You're alive! You're... Ninjoy? Is that you? No matter. You'll be me too."
Ninjoy screams: "NO!"
It all finally makes sense to Ninjoy. She begins to realize why this entire Janana apocalypse happened. This all happened because Papa Louie denied Janana service. The whole Papa Louie franchise is cursed.

Each one of the restaurants is doomed to go under. Their customers will all become Janana, and these Janana will do evil things.
Janana says: "Ninjoy, can't you see? I'm the victim here. I'm the innocent victim. Or maybe I'm the cause of the problem. Who knows? I'm me, and I can't help what happens! Or can I? I'm confused! I'm confused!"

Ninjoy screams: "NOOO!" and punches Janana in the temple, knocking her out. Ninjoy then scurries into a corner and curls up into a ball, crying.
She needs revenge. She needs it now. She can't let anyone else fall victim to Janana's curse. She can't let anyone else suffer and die.

She says: "You've gotten away with so much. You've won the battle, but I'm winning this war. I'm going to make sure you suffer for what you've done. I'll destroy you. I'll make sure that your evil legacy isn't able to continue. Try me, Janana."

"It appears JANANA has died? No. It is CERTAIN that JANANA has died."
