Basically, Todd and Lovett start a mini-war due to the contents of a few pies and Lovett's heartlessness, and drag others into their fight. Just seeing how this would work out.
Lovett hummed as she pulled pies out of the oven in the bakehouse. Since there had been so many customers demanding pies, she had to go out and find a little extra meat, in addition to the bodies Sweeney sent after he gave them the closest shave they'd ever get. She carried a tray of pies up from the bakehouse. "All right, who wants one?"

Sweeney hovered on his little patio-like area outside his shop next to the stairs, waiting for a customer to come up. Well, he used the word customer lightly. The word 'ingredient' was more appropriate. He watched and waited, like a preditor. A certain chocolatier sat in the corner, stick-straight hair hanging down almost to his shoulders, dark blue eyes alight with bright, childlike curiosity. Yes, somehow Willy Wonka was in eighteenth century London.

"Want a pie, sir?" Lovett was offering the pies to her customers, only pausing long enough to glance around. "Where's- TOBY! Toby, love, come 'ere, Nellie needs your 'elp." She had to go take more pies out of the oven, and make still more. She smirked a little. HA! This'll show Miss Mooney who has better pies! The other pie-maker was probably running out of cats by now, while SHE had an endless supply of meat, thanks to Sweeney.

((Just t'let ya know, Willy's only there to provide a male character I wouldn't mind killin' off.)) Willy looked up at the barber outside his shop, looking curious. He stood, pulling the brim of his hat down slightly, eyes hidden by sunglasses. He went up to go investigate. He hadn't had a chance at a childhood, so he was using his adulthood to behave like a child. "Hello sir," Sweeney said, a half smile on his face, and something dangerous in his eyes. "Care for a shave?" Willy hardly acknowledged Sweeney, going in with a bright look on his face. Sweeney smirked. This was going to be easier than usual. "Coming!" Toby called, rushing into the shop to take over while Lovett got more pies. "Sorry everyone, you'll have to wait if you want a pie! Mrs. Lovett's just gone down to get more!"

Lovett had caught a glimpse of Sweeney's new customer, and that was the main reason why she had gone down to the bakehouse. She couldn't have Toby going down to get more pies and seeing the bodies, after all! She shut herself in the bakehouse, and waited for the body to arrive. If Sweeney didn't provide more bodies, she'd have to start going out to find ones to add to the ones he brought. She was getting good business nowadays.

Willy Wonka hadn't sat still once. He was bouncing all over the room, looking at this, that, and the other. He picked up one of the razors from the box they rested in, holding it up to the light with an amused expression. "Shiney..." he muttered. "Sit!" Sweeney snarled, pushing Willy down in the chair. Willy stared into space, a flashback making his eyes unfocused. He was seeing into the past, at one of the many visits to his father's dentist office he'd been on. "Idiot," Sweeney muttered, not even bothering with pretences. He simply slid the razor over Willy Wonka's throat, pushing the pedal to slide him backwards into the bakehouse. And yet, even after all this, Willy Wonka was still barely alive.

Lovett whistled tunelessly as she waited for the body- and there it was. She calmly walked over to Willy. She didn't really care if people died. It had startled her when Sweeney had killed Pirelli- but that was because Benjamin Barker would have never done that. But she didn't really care. She grabbed him by the shoulders and began dragging him towards the oven.

Willy twitched, but couldn't really move much because the fall had fractured his neck. Poor Willy. Speaking of poor Willy, SN wandered in randomly. She stared at the scene infront of her. "Oh. My. God. YOU KILLED WILLY WONKA!" she screeched. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. How could they kill Willy Wonka?! Freaks! Who would want to kill an innocent chocolatier. They'd probably say it was extra sweet for one of their jokes. Creepy people. Sweeney smirked in saticefaction, polishing his razor clean and making sure no blod remained on his shirt as he resumed watching over the people that came to eat.

"Door's that way, I advise you to find it and leave before you're added to th' menu," Lovett replied, not even turning around. She let go of Willy long enough to open the oven and pull a fresh batch of pies out, then closed it again. She grabbed Willy again and dragged him away, snagging a knife as she dragged him behind the oven. Freddy was there for one reason. Lloyd had sent him. Well, you see, Lloyd was directing Sweeney Todd, and had cast Freddy as Sweeney. He had asked Lloyd a few questions, and his answer was 'go find out yourself'. So there he was, nervously noticing that nobody who went up to the barber shop came back down. Just like in the script. He shuddered, deciding that he wasn't going to eat any meat pies.

"You-I-well-wha-I'm going now," SN was a little freaked out. She hadn't even gotten the bio finished for that one! DANG IT! Oh well, he'd come back. He probably come back as something extremely random. She remembered one time she'd come back as a cat. That had been fun. She wondered what it was like to be a pokemon. Oh well, if she ended up dying she might find out. Sweeney stared down on the customers, and noticed one wasn't eating. Hmmm... He wandered down the stairs, approaching Freddy. "Somethin' botherin' you?" he asked, eyeing Freddy suspitiously.

Lovett ignored what SN had said, concentrating on carving flesh from Willy's body. For some reason, this always seemed to calm her down after a frustrating day of work. Even though it was sometimes nice to just sit back and relax, cutting people up was sort of relaxing as well. For her, anyways. But then again, this IS the woman who has literally no heart and would kill anyone she could. She didn't care. She felt no guilt, no remorse for what she was doing. And she liked it, too. Evil woman. "Um... A-are you Mr. Todd?" Freddy asked, trembling a little. He seemed much more threatening in person than he did in the script. "I-I-I have some questions to ask you, if-if-if you're Mr. Todd, that is."

Sweeney's eyes narrowed in suspition. "That's me, sir. Why don't you come up to my shop so we can talk more...privately." He kept his voice light and airy, friendly, so Freddy wouldn't be nervous. But there was something about himself that intimidated people, and he didn't know what that was. Maybe his black eyes, or maybe his weird hair that every fangirl seemed to love. SN wandered outside, avoiding looking at anyone who was eating. Then she spotted... "Freddy! Sweeney! Hi!" She skipped over, quite litterally. She was going to keep an eye on Freddy, though her witnessing his murder wouldn't mean anything because she would never rat Sweeney out. One of the drawbacks of being a fangirl.

"O-okay," Freddy replied in a tiny voice. He hadn't read the entire script yet, so he didn't know what Sweeney did to customers. He had stopped reading it shortly after Sweeney and Lovett met. So he had no idea that he could possibly- and was likely to- die. Then he glanced over at the sound of his name. "Oh. Hey! Guess what! Lloyd wants me to play Sweeney in his next production!" Except... he didn't know how he'd keep his nose from bleeding at the violent scenes. Maybe they could pass it off as blood that splattered onto him or something. Lovett soon began making Wonka-pies, placing them in the oven before taking the batch she had taken out upstairs to Toby. "Toby! Got a new batch o' pies!"

Sweeney started up the stairs to his shop without another word. It was absurdly easy to get people up to his shop. So easy it was boring. He almost WANTED a challenge. As long as it wasn't anyone he really wanted dead that decided they wanted to be a challenge. "What? You? As Sweeney Todd? HA!" SN couldn't help laughing as she followed the demon barber. What? Her Myspace username wasn't 'Demon Barber Fanatic' for nothing. Along with her custom title on the treehouse of course. "Comin' mum!" Toby said brightly, taking the pies and starting to distribute them among hungry customers.

Freddy nodded. "Uh-huh! 'Cause Selsdon's way too old and would forget his lines, Tim's gonna be Toby..." He hesitated for a moment, then added, "And Garry would've been Todd, but then he decided that he wanted to kill me and I guess Lloyd doesn't trust him around artificial weapons anymore." He followed Sweeney, pausing only briefly when he realized Sweeney was the barber they had been talking about in the one early song he had managed to read through before putting the script down. "Why are we going in here?" he asked curiously. Lovett watched Toby for a few moments, barely hiding a small smile. The boy was a good helper. Now she didn't have to wear herself to the bone trying to cook and sell and hand out pies all day.
