The Waterfall of Sight

Space Slayer and Lesser Evil stood at the edge of a cliff overlooking a huge waterfall.  Instead of water, however, there was a constant stream of eyeballs that parted about halfway down to give them a perfect view of the large mouth that was beat-boxing at a rapid pace.  The ground rumbled from the force of the constant stream of sound coming from the eyeballs and the mouth.

"This is your fault."  Space Slayer said.

"He had a spray bottle, Space Slayer!"  Lesser Evil exclaimed, incredulously.

"I saw that.  I was there."

"Where are we, anyway?"

"I don't know.  That's your fault too."

"You can't blame everything on me!"

"I can, actually, because it's your fault."

"You can't prove that!"

Space Slayer made a frustrated noise and grabbed the blank paper out of Lesser Evil's hands, crumpled it up, and threw it off the cliff.

"Hey!  How will we find our way back now?!"  Lesser Evil yelled.  "Plus, I mean...that was littering."

 "He's right, you know.  You're disrupting the delicate ecosystem here."  The waterfall said, pausing the intense beat-boxing."

"Sorry about that."  Space Slayer apologized.  A winged mouth that didn't seem to be attached to anything swooped out of the sky and caught the crumpled up paper in mid-air and flew off again.

"Well I guess that takes care of that."  The waterfall said, and went back to beat-boxing.

"Aww...my map..."  Lesser evil moaned, watching the mouth as it flew away.

"Excuse me, um..."  Space Slayer considered for a moment.  "...Sir?  We're a bit lost, can you direct us to the human plane?"

"Oh, Eye See.  Eye figured you were outs-eye-ders."  The waterfall said, emphasizing the words.

Space Slayer closed her eyes, trying to find patience.  "It's been a rough day, I'm gonna need you to stop with the puns."

"Eye can See when Eye'm not appreciated."  The waterfall said, with a toothy grin.

Space Slayer opened her eyes again and one of them twitched.

"Don't worry, Eye think Eye can help you out.  With m-eye help, you will See the-"

Twenty minutes later, Space Slayer was holding the door in the wall open.  "Time to go."  She looked back at Lesser Evil, who was hiding behind a rock.  "...You coming or not?"

"I didn't know...you could kill a waterfall..."

Space Slayer rolled her eyes.  "It was being a jerk."

"There was so much blood...."

"All the more reason to get out of here."  She said.  She sighed and walked over to the traumatized man and grabbed him by the arm, dragging him over to the door.  "This wouldn't have happened if you didn't get us lost anyway."

"You can't prove th-"  He started to say, as she kicked him through the door.
