It starts when I wake up in my costume. Without my mask. The last thing I remember was being in Pete's apartment. Opening his closet door... looking for clues that he was the White Knight... there was someone hiding in his closet! Some guy with no face. He had some weird kind of gun-

That's when I hear a voice.

"Good, you're awake. It's almost 3 o'clock, so let's get started."

I recognize his face right away. Hard not to, he's on half the magazines in the country. He makes the front page almost every day. The richest man in the city. Maybe the world. Bullion Cube.

"I hope the Yes-Man I sent to bring you here didn't inconvenience you. Synthetic beings, better than humans in almost every way. I spared no expense in their creation, but nevertheless they sometimes lack the finer mores that flesh-and-blood people like you and I enjoy."

"No, no, don't try to get up," he says as I shift in the plush leather chair and realize that I can't move my arms. "You're still under sedation. My surgeons took care of that bullet wound in your shoulder. Can't have our new star employee in anything less than tip-top shape."

I can't move, so I drift my head back toward Cube and glare flat murder at him, and he smiles.

"There's that fire!" he says. " I knew you were right for the job."

"Both parents deceased. One sister four years your senior. No other living relatives." Cube reads snippets of my life from a piece of paper. "A dead-end job, little income. No wonder you used the material you did," he says, glancing up from the list. "I've long been fascinated with how you heroes assemble your costumes," Cube says, leaning back in his chair.

"Venus de Mayhem was always a dilettante. More concerned with her wardrobe than any supposed civic benefit. Cheap material, more dedication, that's what I think. You're got what it takes. You're brazen, reckless. You took on a man with over three hundred kills to his name and won. I wouldn't be surprised if you were the one who killed the Tennessee Squinter."

"Alright, so you're thinking yourself a superhero? Well, I'm generally one too, tonight is an exception due to.. circumstances. Sorry, but this thing is going on it's way. If you promise to not chase me, I'll promise not to shoot you on sight if we meet again."

>>39876050
Check around for any kind of ripped clothing from the girl, we could use it to track her later.
Reload the gun, and then leave High Top behind. We're on the clock, plenty of time for snooping later

We're not the Queen of the Cosmos, for god's sake.

When I come out of the trees onto the service road, there's a panel van parked backward with its engine idling.

"Is somebody there? Somebody who isn't a creepy robot?"

The words are almost out of my mouth before I catch myself. He doesn't know who I am.

"PLACE the OBJECT on the GROUND and STEP BACK TEN PACES," the Yes-Man utters in a voice that in no way resembles a human.

What will you do now?

>>39877015
Follow the robot's directions

Listen to the creepy thing.
Also, watch our back, I get the feeling that new kid hasn't given up

Take the poor guy home.

Then give him a very happy supprise when we get to his home.

>>39877352
I also think he deserves a hug.

He's been through a lot.

>>39877439
Naah. When we get near home we let him go some ways on his own, then rush through the alleways to our home and get out of the costume.
When he comes into his rooms we rush out, pretending that we were /also/ taken and held and got just now released and how we were worried about him.

THEN it is time happy relieved 'surprises'.

Well, that's the end of this episode! I hope everybody had fun, despite the slow pace. Some episodes are harder to write than others, because I never know where things are going. This was definitely one of those games!

A few Easter eggs and other factoids of note for this episode:

>>39859737
Bullion Cube was mentioned back in the second episode of Red's quest, but this was the first we've seen of him. I bought his hairpiece specifically for his character. The surgeon in his boardroom is the CMF Surgeon, who was also present at the end of BLOCKOUT.

>>39859792
This effect was achieved by taking a picture of Pete and the Yes-Man, processing it like normal, then uploading it to my phone and taking a picture with my phone behind the Lego frame. I really like how it turned out.

>>39865435
Adam Bomb is of course a well-know supervillain. Next time they meet Red will have to shoot out three of his eyes.

>>39882134
If Adam invests in some kind of helmet then we're fucked.

The first picture for today's resumed game is an homage to the classic and well-used comic book technique of showing an enemy in the reflection of the main character's visor or bottle or whatever.

I really like how this gore turned out.

The B-Boys first appeared in the last episode, where they would have gotten into a brawl with the 8th Street Pirates if Red hadn't spilled her beer on a Pirate.

>>39880970
This game's probably going to need a name sooner or later! Any suggestions?

>>39881788
I didn't have any ideas about Red's family until I wrote the intro to this game. Her deceased parents are obviously an homage to Batman, and since Bullion Cube mentioned her sister, I thought it would be fun to throw her into the mix!

>>39882457
Arcs and Archaeologists?
Also, who doesn't have dead parents?

>>39872701
>LQ, your framing and camera work is really top notch, it's great what you can do with Lego.
I was caught up in the game and never said anything, but thanks anon! I often spend more time than I'd like taking shots because I want to make sure everything looks as good as it possibly can, but taking pictures is half the fun!

I always read any I see, but ive undoubtedly missed afew.

also, so far my favorite effect youve done was in the underground cavern where a power armored guy blew the brains out of a black dragon sized monster, with all kinds of flames coming out the back. The phone snapshot then picture came out really well
