S2 Episode 7: WTF was that!? (Arthur-verse S2)

Field Chant, gang bang, stomp-clap, tribal percussion

╔════════════════════════════════════╗
║  WELCOME TO THE ARTHUR-VERSE · S2  ║
╚════════════════════════════════════╝

Arthur is a self-created author and storm god.
He believes he created this world.

The City of Owl’s Walk (O.W.) — inspired by Gotham City —
has become self-aware…
and calls herself **Mother**.

Arthur becomes trapped inside the **Hall of Memory**:
a vast museum lined with interactive paintings,
each one representing a defining moment
in Owl’s Walk’s history.

Each painting is a memory.
Each memory can be entered.
Each memory carries consequences that defined the city.

Throughout this season, Arthur is guided by:
• **Smokey Lois** — a sharp-tongued, time-keeping guide acting as Arthur’s tether back from memory.

────────────────────────────────────

**RULES OF THE HALL OF MEMORY**

🚫  Memories of O.W. must not be rewritten  
🚫  Changing canon risks erasing the world   
🚭  **NO SMOKING**

────────────────────────────────────

🚭🗂️🔥 HAZARD PAY LOGGED · WARNING ISSUED 🔥🗂️🚭
──────────────────────────────────── 
Arthur snaps back into the Hall of Memory moments after exiting Pearl Alley, the tether holding just long enough to pull him clear. The memory ended cleanly, canon intact—but only barely. Convinced he was preserving continuity, Arthur panicked when the moment felt too real and acted without thinking, forgetting that memories do not need saving. Smokey Lois is furious, not because the system failed, but because Arthur almost made it fail.

As Lois logs hazard pay and reminds him what’s actually at stake, Arthur bristles under the realization that he doesn’t know these memories as well as he thought he did. Embarrassed, defensive, and still riding adrenaline, Arthur moves on too quickly—laughing it off instead of sitting with the mistake. When his eyes land on the next painting, recognition hits harder than logic: Tim Drake is there—the Heart Pillar, the one who chose to become Robin. The count begins again.

[INTRO]

Back in the Hall of Memory
Fluorescent light on marble floors
Smokey Lois stands there glaring
Like she’s ready to start a war

Arthur looks away and hits his vape
Smoke tastes like a bad excuse
Lois doesn’t blink she just steps in
And the room holds its breath for you

[Lois loses it—Beat drop]
“Arthur!!”

[Chorus]
The fuck was that?
(The fuck was that!)
The fuck was that?!
(The fuck was that!)

What the fuck was that?
(What the fuck was that!)
What the fuck was that?!
(What the fuck was that!)

[verse 2: Arthur tries to justify himself]
“He was going to kill that boy”
Arthur spits it through his teeth
Lois says “these are memories
You don’t get to claim relief
You change the frame you change us all
You won’t exist I won’t exist”

Arthur stomps like a child in godskin
“I know I know I just couldn’t resist”

[Chorus]
The fuck was that?
(The fuck was that!)
The fuck was that?!
(The fuck was that!)

What the fuck was that?
(What the fuck was that!)
What the fuck was that?!
(What the fuck was that!)

Arthur you idiot!
You almost blew it!
(Almost blew it!)

[verse 2]
“Hazard pay” Lois mutters sharp
Logging it right in the chart
Arthur said, “Drop it…”

(“I won’t drop it”)

“I’ve owned that I was wrong,
What more do you want,
a life-long punishment song?”

(“Hazard Pay!”)

Lois turns and storms off smoking
A trail like chalk on the air
Arthur walks the hall toking
Looking for the next nightmare

Passed a vat of acid and cage of steel,
He laughs like he hates the way he feels.
Then circus canvas catches his eye,
And the falling starts to stain the sky

[pre-chorus]
Nope
Not this one
Not the Roaring Rockets
But wait
Tim is there

[Chorus]
The fuck was that?
(The fuck was that!)
The fuck was that?!
(The fuck was that!)

What the fuck was that?
(What the fuck was that!)
What the fuck was that?!
(What the fuck was that!)

[outro: count]
Lois taps her foot
(One!)
Arthur swallows hard
(Two!)
Lois snaps her fingers
(Three!)
The song tightens like a rope
(Four!)
