Act 3: Insane Corkscrew Haymakers
Part 3: Good Dog, Best Friend
Link back to comic: page 943
Jade is outside, looking her Becquerel!
The mysterious dog is nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, John finall arrives in his father's room!
This is suspiciously devoid of clowns.
Not a clown in sight. Just boring documents and spreadsheets.
Could it be...
[S] Your dad is actually an ordinary businessman?!
On another planet, the ordinary businessman has broken out of his cell. Again.
A sinister presence watches his every move...
Jack Noir
Likes: N/A
Dislikes: Clowns, your uniform, humans, the universe in general
Fetch Modus: No time for that shit
You have a message from your glorious monarch!
She is not pleased with your disrespect for your uniform.
GOD, you hate this hat.
It's the stupidest hat you've ever seen.
And furthermore, that damn human is beating up your best thugs...
Hey, look! Presents.
First in the pile is some toys to increase your levels of needless inventory management bullshit complexity!
Also some gushers, and some totally sweet new duds.
Birthdays are awesome.
While you were looking for Bec, Bec found you!
Quick! [S] STRIFE!
Good dog.
Best friend.
And now, it's nap time!
You are now dreaming.
Your Dreambot has been activated.
Thanks to your Dreambot, being asleep is no reason to stop being productive!
You can't open John's package yet, though! You know that it has a long journey to make before it can be opened...
Months in the past...
GT: hey, happy birthday jade!
GG: yay thank you john!!!!! :D
GT: i can't wait for you to see what i got you. i don't want to spoil it or anything but hopefully it will help you solve those problems you've been having lately.
GT: MYSTERIOUS WINK ;)
GG: im sure it is great, i cant wait either!!!!!
GG: it might take a while to get here from there but it will be worth the wait!
GG: uhhhh hold on
GG: ok im back sorry
GG: i had to tell someone to go away!
GT: oh god.
GT: the trolls again?
GT: they have been such a pain in the ass lately.
GG: ive never had any sort of feeling about them or what they want which is kind of weird!!!
GT: what do they want with us!!!
GG: some people just like to needle others for some reason john
GG: it is like a game i guess. they are like pranksters!!
GG: but i think they are mostly harmless
GG: every so often they manage to get through my block filter and hassle me. its been going on for years! actually some of them are kind of funny i think hehe
GT: ok, well i am sick of them.
GT: i've been thinking of changing my pesterchum handle to throw them off the trail.
You have finally arrived at your destination! Whatever it may be.
Getting down may be hard.
Serenity alerts you to another length of cable!
You can't reach it, but you DO have an appearifier, so that's no problem...
...huh?
Looks like you forgot to set the time to the present.
Even stranger, the package you just accidentally appearified came with a letter addressed to you!
SO STRANGE.
As you use the appearified cable to descend from your capsule...
...an Aimless Renegade prepares for company.
In your dream, you visit the golden city.
It's a fun place.
Looks like someone sees you!
You don't understand this exactly, but it's definitely crucial mayoral business.
OH GOODNESS UNDER ATTACK.
BOTH OF YOU.
And you both end up seeking the same cover.
What a coincidence!
As the next letter requests, you give the package to the Peregrine Mendicant.
Your dreamself has encountered another tower!
Let's see who's inside.
It's John!
He's wide awake, so his dreamself is asleep. Let's leave him alone for now.
Okay.
Time to get our alchemy on.
Even newer duds acquired!
SO COOL.
How the hell are you going to wield this thing?
Why, by building a Ghost Gauntlet to hold it, of course!
YES.
So. Awesome.
Oh man, YES.
Best weapon name.
You don't know what you're ready for, but boy are you ever ready for it.
FINAL ROUND
[S] STRIFE
-- turntechGodhead [TG] began pestering ectoBiologist [EB] --
TG: bro just kicked my ass
TG: thats really all there is to say on the matter
[S] Time to pester John.
ANIMATION LOG:
As Jade dreams, her dream world passes through a bright blue sky.
The clouds here are the source of her precognition.
In her dream visions, she sees the island on which she lives, as it was hundreds of millions of years ago.
It is, in fact, the very same impact site of the meteor we saw at the end of Act 2.
When Jade was talking to John, she was, in fact, asleep.
The meteor she heard and saw at that time was one that hit eons in the past.
And from the meteor, Bec came.
At the center of the impact is a strange white light. It now rests beneath the temple.
In past or in present, Bec won't allow Jade to get near it.
Someone else is here!
Will John be able to open his eyes to the beautiful light of this world?
Nope.
NEXT TIME: The First Gate.
