Ch. 2 And R01and is my Name.
« on: March 20, 2013, 01:44:48 PM »
Saturday, no responsibilities, no chores, such a relaxing day...  This day finds you like any other Saturday might.  Crime has been on a lull, people suspect that Roland may be the reason for the decrease, but nobody can be sure how long this cease fire will last.  On thing is for certain.  In the last week, Roland has garnered a lot of attention.  Roland T-shirts are pretty much the only thing that has had the time to be released, but there will noo doubt be more hype as his popularity grows. 

It reminds you of when Megaton Man first came to the city.  The people loved him.  He had moved from New Heaven's Gate to work for a local bank and brought his super heroism with him. 


Anyways, the Saturday has come and you have decided to spend the day out in the city.  Where have you gone to?

The Three Little Girls decide to have gone to the park.  They made sure to bring their floppy hats to keep the sun out of their eyes.

Tenebarum: Hmm~  It's nice today, isn't it~
Suspiriorum: Yeah.  It's sunny, but not too hot.
Lachrymarum: Ahh, it's nice~  It's nice~

The shutters are drawn.  Every window is blocked by some manner or another.

The drawers have also been ransacked, but that's unrelated.

Quote from: Internal Dialogue
No, I'm not telling you where I put the credit card.

But...

Do you even realize how much money you were spending on wine?

...not enough?

No!

The table is strewn with scientific-looking materials.  A microscope glints in the glaring illumination of several lights.  A beaker of...something smokes dramatically.

Quote from: Internal Dialogue
What's all this for, anyway?

It's time to examine...

I reach into my pocket and dramatically remove...

Quote from: Internal Dialogue
That baton!
“Hast thou not felt in forest gloom, as gloaming falls on dark-some dells, when comes a whisper, hum and hiss; savage growling sounds a-near, dazzling flashes around thee flicker, whirring waxes and fills thine ears: has thou not felt then grisly horrors that grip thee and hold thee?”

The sun beats down, but it is a pleasant heat.  The stress from the week melts away hearing the sound of playing children.  It looks like a few other people have come to the park too.  You see Rainy Dei over on the swing set and you're pretty sure that that is Swiss Army Man over at the dumpling cart, maybe 80% sure between the three of you (divided how you wish).  The merry go round is free, if you're into that sort of thing, and there are many lovely places to sit down.



The baton reflects the light of the light bulbs shining on it, making it visible to the human eye, it's seven colors of ribbon each just slightly varying the wavelength of the reflection.  It sits, suspended there (by you), awaiting the chance to let its ribbons flow free again (after being cramped in your pocket).  Or at least it would be waiting, if it had a mind or sapience enough to know the concept of time passing.

Tenebarum: Oo... This is a tough choice...
Lachrymarum: Yeah...
Suspiriorum: What?  Swiss Man or the Merry-Go-Round?
Tenebarum: Yeah...
Suspiriorum: We can get on the Merry-Go-Round anytime.  We don't know how long Swiss Man will stick around.
Lachrymarum: Yeah... But... Merry-Go-Round...
Suspiriorum: And maybe we can get Swiss Man to buy us some dumplings.
Tenebarum: Swiss Man it is.
Lachrymarum: Swiss Man it is.

Having come to a decision, the Little Girls head over to Swiss Man.

Quote from: Internal Dialogue
So, uh...

Quiet!

Mm-hmm.  Because, you'll note, it's just a baton.

I said quiet!  I'm thinking!

Truly, the most terrifying words I ever hear from you.

I twirl my mustache thoughtfully.

Quote from: Internal Dialogue
...why do we have a mustache?

Thinking!

Suddenly, I stuff the baton in my pocket and head out the door.

Quote from: Internal Dialogue
So, uh, you going to explain?

Nope.

...goddamnit.

I caper into town, keeping an eye peeled for Swiss Army Man.

Funnyman and his host depart the darkened apartment, baton in pocket. 

Where would Swiss Army Man be?  You begin to search.  Perhaps the Swiss Army Knife store?  How about the Army Surplus store?  SAM's club?



The Three girls rush up to greet Swiss Army Man.  He seems to be lost in thought and slightly concerned, but otherwise not busy as he stares into the kiosk, watching his dumplings boil in oil.

"Oh, yes, I just...  Seem to have misplaced my daughter's baton.  I had taken it to a toymaker to reattach some ribbons, and... well, this is embarrassing, but I've been retracing my footsteps.  I didn't even realize that I had lost it until she came up to me asking.  You caught me stopping for lunch.  You don't happen to have seen a baton somewhere it shouldn't be, have you?"  He sighs.

The Three Little Girls look at each other.  Then, silently, they nod to each other as if coming to agreement.

Tenebarum: We know where it is~
Suspiriorum: But you'll have to buy us dumplings.
Lachrymarum: We won't tell you otherwise!

I walk in the nearest store, regardless of what it is.

Swiss Army Man raises an eyebrow.  "Oh?  And how do I know that you girls aren't just trying to get a free meal out of poor old Swiss Army Man?"


you walk into a comedically appropriate Salvation Army secondhand shop.

Tenebarum: We are trying to get a free meal from you!
Suspiriorum: But we really know the answer.
Lachrymarum: We get something and you get something.  That's how it works, right!
Tenebarum: Don't you trust us~  Don't you trust us~
Suspiriorum: Just because we're brats doesn't mean we'll lie.
Lachrymarum: Come on~

"Hey!  Anyone here know where Swiss Army Man is?"

Swiss Army man concedes, he tells the dumpling man to put on another round of dumplings on and pays him.  His dumplings come out and he hands the bag over to Suspiriorum.

Okay, so, where's the baton?



A friendly patron informs the Funnyman that while this is the Salvation Army, they don't know where Swiss Army Man is deployed.

"Bah!  Useless!"

I head back out into the street and continue my search for Swiss Army Man.

Tenebarum: Funny Man has it~
Suspiriorum: Remember back when Roland was first introduced?  You blocked a punch from Funny Man with the baton, and you didn't pick it up afterwards.
Lachrymarum: So Funny Man walked off with it~
Tenebarum: He probably still has it somewhere~

"That's not good at all.  Well, I'll track him down.  I'm not quite sure where he lives, but...

There is a large explosion from the Eastern Horizon.

"Oh No..."


Funnyman, There's a large explosion nearby.  And you know what they say, Where there's Smoke, there's Swiss Army Man.  (well, that's not actually what they say, but you figure that a large commotion is as good a place as any to meet a hero)

Suspiriorum: *Sigh* A hero's work is never done...
Lachrymarum: I hope everyone is all right...
Tenebarum: We'll fly over there and see what's going on~
Suspiriorum: We'll meet up with you there, okay?

Tenebarum: Wind that blows here and there
Suspiriorum: Born of mother Slyph
Lachrymarum: Give us your blessing!
