Billy: Okay, so, here's the rundown. We've agreed that to help the gods, I'm going to help them grant wishes. BUT, since I can't control what wishes they grant, we need to create a Monkey's Paw kind of situation. For if they have bad wishes.
Marcus: And I guess I'm the Monkey?
Billy: Yeah, you're the Monkey.
Marcus: So how are we going to set this up?
Billy: Well, I figure, if they wish for anything douchey, then you hit them with your stick.
Marcus: What, I just hit them?
Billy: Yeah. With your stick.
Marcus: What, one time, a bunch of times? I mean how hard do you want me to hit them?
Billy: I don't know, I thought I'd kind of leave it to your discretion, based on how bad the wish was.
Marcus: That's not what happens in that movie.
Billy: I'm not allowed to watch horror movies, in case they scar me for life with how scary they are.
Marcus: Don't you regularly deal with scary stuff?
Billy: Yeah but when we let Darla watch Gremlins she screamed and cried, and we had to spend hours explaining that nothing actually does that if you feed it, and she took that to mean it's okay to feed anything you find in the backyard.
Marcus: Oh, is that where the family of raccoons came from? I was wondering about that.
Billy: Right. Which is why you have to hit my neighbor if he tries to wish away the raccoons.
Marcus: Monkey's Paw.
Billy: Monkey's Paw.

would you draw a tiny Marcus Shugel-Shen (Monkey Prince) and/or Xanthe Zhou? they don't canonically know each other but I think they could be best friends if they wanted to (Xanthe is friends with Cass and Marcus is "friends" with Damian canonically)
so like this? :)
