The Strange Chores

Que cannot stand watching the relentless battles between Helsing and Monster Head, which she finds utterly distressing. She is convinced that the ideal remedy would be to grant Monster Head a tangible, physical body of its own. If Monster Head had a body, the fighting might finally cease.

Clean Helsings Study is a programme presented in the format of an episode. It forms part of a series that follows the quirky interactions between its characters, with each instalment focusing on a particular scenario that drives the narrative forward. The central figure in this instalment is Que, who cannot stand watching Helsing and Monster Head constantly at odds. She finds their perpetual fighting both exhausting and pointless, and she becomes determined to intervene. Que believes she has stumbled upon an ideal remedy: what if Monster Head were given a physical form? In her mind, granting Monster Head a body could transform the dynamic and put an end to the endless clashes with Helsing. Que’s proposal hinges on the notion that a corporeal existence would change Monster Head’s behaviour, potentially easing the tension that fuels the fights. She imagines that a tangible body might provide new possibilities for interaction, making the conflict less inevitable. This line of thinking drives the episode’s core conflict, as Que tries to convince the others that her suggestion could be the answer they’ve been looking for. The episode therefore revolves around Que’s aversion to the ongoing battles and her conviction that a simple, albeit unconventional, change—giving Monster Head a body—might finally bring peace between the two rivals.
