[Rinoko]

COMING SOON(Next week most likely)



WILL MARC BUY SOME BANANAS?

[Rinoko]

I had more free time than I anticipated yesterday, and I was feeling motivated, so I managed to get all the frames uploaded! Finals are tomorrow, though, so this is all you get for this week.

Episode Ten: Marc Funds the Advancement of Science

Soundtrack: Boy Meets Girl(Twoson)



All right, let's go locate one missing Wry!

....Right after we talk to these people!

Apparently living in poverty makes you stupid and a slob.



Hey, I'd be nicer to him if I were you! When this kid becomes the next Tony Stark, you'll be sorry!



Sorry, lady, Jimmy Neutron's already taken, if memory serves.



Wait, so he's not Tony Stark....?



Oh, THAT must be Stark! Can't say I disagree with you there. I mean, I'm not into guys like that, but Robert Downey Jr. IS pretty easy on the eyes...

OK, enough of this! Onward to Burglin Park!



Wow, foreshadowing much?



And yet everyone leaves their doors unlocked with their kids at home! Either everyone in Twoson is an idiot or this guy is a truly sucky criminal!



So he's like the Godfather?

Aww, dang, and I already used Marlon Brando for a celebrity boss!



That.....ummm....how....exactly...does that work?



This gentleman is trying to sell me LSD condiments! Nothing really catches my eye, and the STUPID LIMITED INVENTORY SPACE is getting in my way again, so I pass this one up.

(Certain condiments improve certain foods, which leads to more HP recovery.)



Really, now? Because when a guy is linked to kidnappings and robberies, he's clearly a saint!



I'm sure that's what Al Capone's friends said about him, too.



I would, but they'll have gone bad by the time I remember that I bought eggs.

It happens

EVERY.

TIME.



Apparently Burglin Park holds group therapy sessions. It makes me feel good to hit people with my bat! And do dru-....umm....other stuff....



Why do you need that exactly....? You're already selling stuff right now!



IT'S JUST A SIGN. YOU CAN MAKE ONE YOURSELF.



If you're selling junk, you can just say so, you know.



WHAT DO YOU KNOW



So here's the For Sale sign that the other guy wanted to bu-NINETY EIGHT BUCKS?

IT'S JUST A SIGN.

(The For Sale sign lets you sell stuff you don't want from anywhere in the game, not just shops, and you might get more money for the stuff maybe....? I never used it.)



I'm not even going to poke the hornet's nest that is the suggestiveness of that statement.



Everdred clearly has dirt on the Twoson health inspectors.



I'll let the flies get their fix this time.



OH MY GOSH, YOU BROUGHT REAGAN BACK TO LIFE AND KIDNAPPED HIM?!?

(I just KNOW someone's going to criticize my choice in favorite Presidents)

I WOULD buy him, but something tells me the Great Communicator doesn't come cheap.



Err, no, he's kind of too old and wrinkly for my taste....



Easy, Grandma, no need to be so pushy!

Anyway, I think I'll keep with the trend and say no.

Let's go rest up at the hotel before we meet Everdred.



Good to see Wry's dad is handling this as well as her mom is!



I saw this guy earlier on top of his house and GEEZ HE JUST JUMPED OFF THE ROOF

Uhh... Hello? Sir? Do you know where I can find Everdre-



Oh, uhh......I'm kind of in a hurry here, but I'm always up for a quick tussle!

Soundtrack: Oncoming Boss

Soundtrack: Battle Against a Mobile Opponent



Oh hey, I found Everdred!

CELEBRITY BOSS BATTLE #6: VS.....JOHN LENNON? IS THAT YOU? MAN, YOU REALLY LET YOURSELF GO AFTER YELLOW SUBMARINE....

Welp, better than battling Ringo! He's so under-appreciated....

Oh, sorry, FIGHT BEGIN



Remember, John, All You Need is Love!



Love is all you need!



And Lennon takes a bat to the Penny Lane!



John's attacks kind of hurt, but it's OK, I'll just Let It Be.



Of course, this fight's a little easier With a Little Help From My Friends....I mean friend.



And after a short while, the fight starts to Come Together in my favor!

Soundtrack: You Defeated the Boss!



Aww, don't feel bad, John, you've had A Hard Day's Night. Better luck next time!

Soundtrack: You Gained a Level!



Hey, I guess all those references were clever enough to warrant a level up!



AT LONG LAST

COUGH UP THE WRY, CHUMP



NOPE

You're not bull-crapping your way out of this one, I won fair and square!



Good to see I'm dealing with a sensible mob boss!



Yeah, I get that a lot. Ain't no thang.

But enough about me, I thought I asked for the girl!



You speak as though you don't have her in your possession.

I don't like where this is going....



OK, you saw all this happen and you didn't think to tell anyone?!?!?



Doggone it.... See, this is what happens when your townspeople are too trusting! Chubby boys and weird blue guys can just roll in and take little girls whenever they want!



YOU WERE CLOSE ENOUGH TO HEAR THEM

AND YOU DID NOTHING

Anyway, this is starting to sound like I should run back home and grab my whip and fedora.



Because if they were just softcore strange, this wouldn't be so worrisome!



If she's been kidnapped, I'd say yeah, she's already gone.

Unless by gone, you mean....

....Oh.

Yeah, we should probably find her ASAP!



I.....really don't that's such a good idea!

Oh, whatever, you've been pretty decent, so why not?

I WILL NOT FORGET



I'm one step ahead of you, Pops! Everdred most certainly did have some juicy information about her.

Funny, I feel like there were something he asked me to do..... What was it again?

Eh, probably wasn't that important.



Is that so? That's rather surprising, seeing as you've been the absolute paragon of rational thinking since I've met you!

Soundtrack: Buy Somethin' Will Ya!



I decide to keep Wry's life in jeopardy a little longer and finish exploring.

Delivery-only seems like a really inefficient way to run an LSD pizza business.



Fast, cheap drug dealing on the go! I like it.



No, that's bodaciously the number. You have to whisper into the phone and it connects you to this place.



Yeah, that's a tough choice. Is a bus ride really worth your eternal soul?



No, it'll just drive through the hordes of the undead, no big deal!



So....Happy-Happy Village is populated by Scientologists?



Yeah, it's called the XENU FEVER

Soundtrack: Friendly Neighbors



Alas, poor Yorick! I knew the bus well!



Apparently this guy thinks that people think that bus drivers never leave their vehicle.



Bus drivers are known for their deep philosophical musings.



Bus drivers are known for giving advice ages after said advice has already been implemented.



We fought against GHOSTS in the last war?!?

No wonder they're blocking off the road!



Sadly, we lost the war against old ladies....



Why, because it DOESN'T RUN?



That's not strange, that's bodaciously how EVERY bus system works.



Oh believe me, the east is in trouble if it runs into me!



Neither of the places you just mentioned seem very troubling at all.



This, on the other hand, is a little bit troubling!



Aww, man, now I can't make fun of Wry's dad for being the last person to hear about this!



All right, I'm getting a whole lot of different stories about what happened to her.

Once I find Wry, I'm getting this sorted out once and for all!

Soundtrack: Oncoming Foe



Finally, some enemies show up! I was starting to think that those townspeople were justified in leaving their doors unlocked.

Soundtrack: Battle Against a Weak Opponent



Aaaand it's nothing we haven't seen before.



HEY

HOW DARE YOU HIT A LADY'S TEDDY BEAR



I MEAN IT

CUT IT OUT



That's more like it!

Soundtrack: You Win!



I don't really think I need to show how this fight went down.



Yeah, I'm pretty happy the way I am, even without the message of Xenu.

Soundtrack: Friendly Neighbors



I....

I understand completely now.

It's like my eyes have been opened for the first time!



On this episode of Hoarders: Buried Alive....



Sorry, Toby was never very good with machines, you know, having paws and whatnot.



BUT THE ONE THING THEY CAN'T FIX

IS MY MISTAKES



Agreed! After we locate Wry, we should go out in search of such a friend!



Aw, c'mon, a thousand and one couldn't hurt!



I....didn't even know Scientologists WENT door-to-door!



Oh man, I think we found the elephant in the room. House. Whatever.

Soundtrack: Battle Against a Weird Opponent



Oh joy, these guys again!



I just.....don't have the patience for this.



None can withstand my beautiful pairings!



So beautiful in fact that they decide to give me a gift!



Which I graciously decline.



Aha, now THIS looks like a new enemy!

Soundtrack: Battle Against a Weird Opponent



That's

uhh

certainly new all right.

LSD Meter: We were warned about the blue people, but I still think drugs are partially to blame.



NO WRY'S BEAR NOOOOO



You strike me in my moment of grief....



THAT IS A SERIOUS MISTAKE



ONE YOU WILL NEVER GET TO MAKE AGAIN



After a long trek down the road, I find a Skip Sandwich!

Soundtrack: Battle Against a Weak Opponent



And also this guy!

LSD Meter: OK, why isn't this guy's face blue?!?



Well, he doesn't seem any tougher than the other enemies around.



Uhh.....

Should I....call someone to come pick him up? And maybe stop hitting him?



Hmm.... Nah, he had this coming!



That was....surprisingly easy! He really didn't do ANYTHING!



The next one I encounter is so drunk I can sneak up on him from the SIDE.



And he was just as easy to take down as the first one.



Beating up defenseless drunks on the outskirts of town nets me another level!

Soundtrack: Spell Learned



Well shoot, all those years of judo are wasted since I can pretty much do the same thing with magic now!



I get the feeling that this is our next destination once we locate Wry.

Call it intuition.



Which tells me that everyone in Twoson is a serious downer.



You played Justin Bieber, didn't you?

Listen, it's not just ghosts that act like that around his music....



This is such a simple problem to solve! All we have to do is find Mr. Rogers and bring him down here!



This is a really long road, so I figure this is a good time to try out that Skip Sandwich I got earlier.

Let's see how fast we can really go!



WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Soundtrack: Ambush!



EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-SHOOT



Hey, I was having fun back there! This SMAAAAASH is totally warranted!

Soundtrack: Buy Somethin' Will Ya!



Let's grab some cash before moving on. Intuition is telling me that I'll need about $200.

That or I've played through this part before.

Soundtrack: Apple Kid's Theme



Greetings, Mr. Stark.



That is totally not what I would have guessed from the way you carry yourself in public.



Stark Industries has hit tough times lately.....



And the alcohol helps you forget, as well, right?



That's probably a wise career move.



I think he's trying to invent Ambien.



Hmm..... Listen, I'd love to help, but you're just not the kind of project I'm willing to risk making an investment in. This is a tough economic climate we're in now.

(Don't invest in the Orange Kid. The invention he makes is a device that plays his theme song I think? It's absolutely useless.)



Yeah, no offense, but you're too clean, tidy, and underweight. When I donate money to science, I want my investment to go someone....pudgier, and less hygienic. Someone like.....

Soundtrack: Apple Kid's Theme



YOU

YOU'RE PERFECT



A cluttered house for a cluttered mind, like I always say.



I love you already.



PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY



YESSSS PLEASE TAKE ALL MY FOOD



Let's talk about your future after you grab a bite to eat, my friend!



I have more than enough LSD Hamburgers to satisfy you.



YES

WHATEVER IT IS, YES



SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY



Do me proud, son! I have high hopes for you!



Well, fancy that! That's exactly how much I have on me right now!



When you win the Nobel, just remember who gave you your big break.



Also as your financial backer, I resume the rights to everything you throw away.



And hopefully he'll take care of me soon.



Uhh.... Is...is this something I WANT to have...?

Soundtrack: Key Item Fanfare



Oh, great, a phone I can only ACCEPT calls from. Awesome. I'll be sure to put this to use immediately.



Nah, it's fine, it's not like I have someplace to be.

Soundtrack: Franky



We've only got a couple things left to do in Twoson, but first, new enemy!

LSD Meter: I'm starting to feel the cotton candy in my veins.



Not much to say about this guy other than what the heck is this?!?!?



At least he's tougher than the Annoying Old Party Men.



Time to hop back on the hippie van, Jack.

Soundtrack: Battle Against a Weird Opponent



And then there was another new enemy!

LSD Meter: I don't understand the enemies in Twoson at all.



At least we know the cops are crooked and the Cranky Lady kinda makes sense, so what's the story with this guy and the hippie?!?!?



Am I to presume you are less unassuming than I was led to believe, sir?



So here's an attack I've never seen this guy do before! He stared at me.



And now I can't move. Uhh.....yeah.....



Let's just...finish this guy off already....

Soundtrack: Enjoy Your Stay



I'm going to need to get rid of some items before heading off to-

Wait, why don't I have the number...?

Oh, right! Need to call Mom first!



Wait, what's that supposed to mean?!?



An aspiring business-girl and a boy hero.... You must be so proud of your kids.



Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt to talk to her.



I'm sorry, hero business is really demanding!



Hey, I thought Mom said this was Tracy!



But you said this was Escargo Express earlier!

WHICH IS IT



Oh. I knew that!



Yeah, I'm gonna need some more inventory space if I'm going to out to rescue damsels in distress.



Living up to your company's namesake, I see.



Actually, they kind of DO live up to their namesake!

Soundtrack: Escargo Express at Your Service!



Why, of course I can cover tha-CRAAAAAAP.

Do....umm....you take debit card? No? OK, hang on, I'll be right back.



Doggone it.

OK, let's try this again!



Which means I have to wait for them to show up AGAIN.

Oh well, at least I have the phone number now.



YES I MOST CERTAINLY CAN



Only three things? I can carry fourteen things by myself!



I can't use the Broken Machine right now and the next few dungeons don't concern me, so the Exit Mouse is gone as well.



I sure hope you're planning on putting my stuff in one of those climate-controlled storage units.



I just remembered that I never showed off the Bicycle, so why don't I do that now?

Soundtrack: Ness' Bike



WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Hey, no one tried to stop me this time!

Too bad that's pretty much the only time I'll get to use that bike!

Anyway, we've got some shopping to do before we head out of here.



Want to know how to get through Peaceful Rest Valley?

Step One: BUY A TEDDY BEAR



Step Two: BUY ANOTHER TEDDY BEAR



Step Three: ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE TWO TEDDY BEARS



Step Four: Go rest at the hotel and have Wry contact you again.



Aww, c'mon, five more minutes, please......



Well, THAT certainly makes my job easier!



SPREAD THE WORD

CHECK EVERY BATHROOM IN THE CITY



All right, all right, I'm getting up!

Soundtrack: Bed and Breakfast



Well, that was not the most restful night's sleep I could have gotten.

I'd better hurry up and find Wry before that becomes a regular thing.



But first, the morning paper!

Ah, my favorite! Behind the Time Magazine!



THAT SON OF A GUN

I'VE GOT SOME CHOICE WORDS FOR THE MAYOR ONCE I GET BACK TO ONETT

But first we're gonna go rescue Wry, next time!

[Guyperson]

Man when you gave us that preview I was so sure you would buy some bananas
You totally threw me off

[Rinoko]

You will find that I am just full of surprises.

[Exeres]

Jesus fuck that was a long update.

It made me want to twist and shout.

[Rinoko]

Yeah, it was a tad long, but I'd really rather not spend more than two episodes in Twoson. The next one will be a bit shorter, I'd rather not spend Eight Days a Week getting these ready for you all.

[Exeres]

Well good, now I feel fine.

[Tetrunes]

I'm So Tired of these beatles song references

[Rinoko]

Sorry, Runes. I Should Have Known Better than to do that to you.

[Zanoushe]

Yessss
All of the Beatles references

I just read through the older posts and found them hilarious. I think the LP's going great.

[Exeres]

You broke it, Zanoushe.

You just picked it up and threw it down.

You Should Have Known Better.

[Zanoushe]

Oh, geez. Sorry. I'm a Loser.

[Rinoko]

Exeres is just mad that he isn't going to show up for while.

But hey, thanks for the compliment! It's good to know that people are enjoying it!

[Kamak]

Took me a few tries to get through this update. Too long to read during my breaks. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

But yeah, good stuff.

[Shining Charizard]

You... didn't buy the Suporma...

Everything I know is a lie.

Also, you might want to change the title of the thread back to normal, since I was ignoring this thread due to the name, and didn't realize you had updated.
