(Announcer, King Sombra, Dr. Facilier, King+Dr, Masks)
"Ladies and Getlemen! For our next performance, we have a real dark treat! Our next song is "Don't go by the river" from Aurelio Voltaire. Now, please welcome our performers! First! We have the King of Darkness Himself! KIIIIING SOMBRA!!!"
The curtains began to open and, as soon as a small crevice was visible, a black/grey mist emerged from behind the curtains and began to solidify on the stage. Once he was fully formed, the King emerged from the mist.
The king was wearing his costumary armor, which consisted on the legs, arms and torso protections, and a crown worthy of a king. He took a look at the crowd and shook his head while smiling maliciously.
"Ahh. So many free people without a leader to guide them. No, no. This simply will not do. But worry not everyone! Once this concert is all over, I'll be glad to become your king as well, my soon to be loyal slaves!"
Rather than cheering, the crowd simply stared at the king in fear and uncertainity. They liked him as a villain, but no way in tartarus did they wanted to be slaves!
"Er... Thank you, your highness..."
The king simply shrugged. "It's no problem.", he said with a satisfied smirk.
"Yes, well... Anyway, our next performer is none other than DOCTOOOOR FACILIER from the Disney version of The Princess and the Frog!"
An odd and eerie, if rythmic music began playing. Everyone recognaized it as Facilier's trademark theme.
"Pom, Pom, Pom
Pom, Pom, Pom
Are you ready?
Are you ready?"
Then, Facilier's voice was heard.
"Are you ready? To meet me, and my friends? Warn you I must though everyone. For they are not your everyday people! For I have friends, on the other siide!"
"He has friends
On the other siide"
Suddenly, a cloud of purple smoke erupted on the center of the stage. Once it dispersed, everyone could see, that there, in the middle of the stage, was Dr. Facilier himself! Surrounded by several VooDoo masks that varied sizes.
"Hello everyone! What a nice audience we have tonight!", he said, while bowing and courtesing with his top hat.
This time, the crowd did cheered. Much to Sombras annoyance. He didn't liked one bit that this wizard wannabe was stealing his spotlight AND the attention and affection of his soon to be slaves!
"Welcome Mr. Facilier."
"Oh please. None of thois formalities. Not tonight! After all, we're all here to have some fun!"
"Hmph! Who invited this simpleton?!"
"Now, now, my dear king, I'm simply here for everyone's entertainment! Myself included, of course. Anyway, shall we sing, oh mighty Dark Lord?"
"Tch. Very well. Let us get this over with. The sooner this is over, the sooner I can take my newest slaves to their new home."
The crowd and the announcer visibly paled at the prospect of being Sombras' slaves.
"Alright then. Announcer, if you please?"
"Alright! Let's go everyone!"
"IN 5!

GO!
"Don't go by the river
If you love you wife
'Cause you'll make that girl a widow!
And you cause her pain and strife
And if you go by the river side!
You'll lose your la-la-la-la-life!
People by the river
They know whose the boss!
They'll get that fancy city folks
No matter what the cost
And if you go by the river side
You'll end up lo-lo-lo-lo-lost!
There's a bat they call Lestat
Who will sink his teeth in you!
You might meet a creature
From the swampy black lagoon!
And if the moon is full
You might meet the Loup-Garou!
Don’t go by the river side
You’ll be sorry if you do!
A young man met a lady
And she made this fellow swoon
So they went on down to New Orleans
To elope under the moon
He took her by the river side
To give her the heir lu-lu-lu-lu-loom!
Well the next day he got outta bed
And she wasn’t by his side
He searched the quarter high and low
Then the bayou far and wide
Locals say she ran away
But you know they la-la-la-la-lie!
There's a bat they call Lestat
Who will sink his teeth in you!
You might meet a creature
From the swampy black lagoon!
And if the moon is full
You might meet the Loup-Garou!
Don’t go by the river side
You’ll be sorry if you do!
Who shivers when they hear about voo-doo?
Don’t lie to me, boy, I know you do!
You better tremble when you hear me caaall!
‘Cause you’d make a lovely shrunken head
You’ll be my favorite voo-doo doll!
Sting went by the river,
Now he slings on Bourbon Street
And there’s that song by Concrete Blonde
About where it’s warm and green
And if you go by the river side,
You’ll never l-l-l-l-leave!
There's a bat they call Lestat
Who’ll sink his teeth in you!
You might meet a creature
From the swampy black lagoon!
And if the moon is full
You might meet the Loup-Garou!
Don’t go by the river side,
(Don’t go by the river side!)
We said don’t go by that river side,
(They said don’t go by that river side!)
Don’t go by the river side!
(Why's that?)
‘Cause you might meet us if you dooooo!"
The crowd erupted in cheers! But, they suddenly stopped. They remembered the King's words! Once the song was over... However, the King seemed to read their thoughts.
"Don't worry. I wont make you my slaves. Not now anyways. If I did, this event would become less enjoyable. So, I will wait until these even is over. Once it is though... *Malicious chuckle!*"
"A great performance sirs! And a fitting song for the two of you I think."
"*chuckle* Indeed. Anyway, we need to be going. Each of us to our home. However, if you'd like for a biss, do not hesitate in calling me. Here, you may use this."
Dr. Facilier then threw a mini VooDoo mask like totem to the announcer.
"With these, you'll be able to contact me, and my friends on the other siide"
"And his friends on the other siide."
"Thank you Facilier. Anyway, good luck on your evil plans."
With that said, the King and the Evil Shaman vanished.
"Now, for our next number!"
