The ghost of David Foster Wallace's past from the future walks into a bar. Pynchon is already seated at the rail. Pynchon is here to see Jonathan Franzen talk. Franzen is talking about his friend William T Vollmann. The ghost of DFWs past from the future notices Pynchon. He asked God what he looked like and God told him. Up on stage Franzen notices DFWs ghost entering the bar. Dave says to Pynchon he's pretty sure Vollmann is out front dressed as a woman trying to turn tricks for cheeseburgers.
Something on the T.V. mentions riots in Mexico.

this triggers DFW's ghost and he goes reaching for the gun.. he is thinking something like "how banal is this.." but the gun is already cocked
this is just the moment where Gwilly Wattyl storms into the bar, holding a basket of dirty laundry above his head as explanation. he looks around expectantly...
The ghost of Gore Vidal rolls up from the floor. He nabs Wallace, frogmarches him out back, and beats the snot out of him.
Returning with broom in hand, Vidal smashes all the bottles and glass work. And with that, he torches the place.
"Your rapture, gentlemen," Vidal intones, and the last with a smirk, "final call."
Vidal exits, pausing just outside to throw Vollmann over his shoulder. With his new toy so secured he strides off, fading into the endless and ever decadent night.

"A NOVEL IS NOT A NOTE!"
pynchon has well had enough. he curls up in a ball on the floor, closes his eyes and quite literally dissapears from the room. at this exact moment (spooky action at a distance) seth macfarlane is transported to the bar, robe still open from his drunken stumble around his apartment. he blinks around for a bit.
