The story so far:

THREE of our HEROES have been introduced SO FAR.

Chris Mitchell, who bravely ate CEREAL without a BOWL, SHOWERED with his CLOTHES ON, wore REFRIGERATED SUNGLASSES and built a PILLOW FORT with a CHAIR, before venturing forth on his QUEST to SHOP at the SHOPS.

Then Dan Crawford, whose MACKING PROWESS is matched only by his TOTAL INABILITY TO MACK, strolled the BORDATE MALL looking for GIRLS, FOOLED a JOCK into a BOOKSTORE and got KICKED OUT of a COMIC BOOK STORE.

Now we join Harrison Black, who has CUNNINGLY BROKEN his LOCKER KEY on a VENT. And his PHONE. But not on a VENT. JUST WITH HIS HANDS.

What will happen next? YOU DECIDE!

Prologue: Harrison Black



































I think it's agreed that I probably shouldn't do that again. Could someone just put all those links on the Wiki page? I can't do it without it converting it all to pictures...

Prologue: Dan Crawford

















































New Topic Tag!



Will re-post my current choice:

>Search work station for ID card.

>Failing that ask co workers if they have seen it.

>Then return to security desk and pick up where we left off!






ALSO: Topic 1 sat at 499 for 2 hours so FAH could (rightfully) get the final post in with a link to the new topic.

That is pretty awesome.



ALSO ALSO (edit):

FAH you are amazing and this project was amazing! Keep it up ^_^

First and Foremost:

>SWAP the positions of the FIRE EXTINGUISHER and the NEWSPAPER.



Then:

Check Newspaper for ID CARD,

Also, Check Vending Machine for the ID Card.




I have a feeling we are going gain a lot of ACRIMONS if we have to buy our own ID CARD from the vending machine.

FAH, I don't mind doing the wiki edit for you. I did a partial quicky of your first post just for something to look at, buuutt....I don't like the style. How would you like it to look? (Within reason; it's still a wiki page.)

--

Nice. Lot tidier looking, but might be a bit fiddly to click on them when it gets to the thousand range. I did think about doing a slide show, but the thought of uploading them one by one was just too depressing.

Hrm, maybe I can get a free/cheap website that can host them in a sort of webcomic format.

I can always put the NUMBERS in a TABLE or something. Calling the PANES by their NUMBERS is going to be TEDIOUS though, so I gave them NICKNAMES.

--
It's Super Nice to get Dogged in the guru.

Although I appreciate the effort, azuarc, I've decided to upload everything here instead:

http://yan.thecomicseries.com/

I've changed the wiki page to reflect this. That was a tedious couple of hours...

Nice. And we can finally see 4a.

My only constructive criticism is the same that I gave myself last night -- maybe you want something other than a completely bland numbered list, or at the very least put the a-b-c on the same line. Giving the comics vague but unique names might be good. OTOH, we can actually go through the list sequentially without going back to an index, so maybe there's no reason to care.

--
It's Super Nice to get Dogged in the guru.

I did think about putting names, but it took me over two hours with just numbers. I just can't be bothered. At least I put chapter names, that was an extra two clicks per upload that I could've done without.

Also, did I never have 4a uploaded? I would have though someone would mentioned it...

--

I had seen 4A before, I'm pretty sure.

Thanks to both FAH and Azuarc for all the work. The titles Azuarc added for each sequence were cool, but I can accept that renaming all the pages on the new comic site would be massively tedious.

XD, I still take credit for finding the ID card, yay.


I guess I could have checked the newspaper BEFORE swapping it with the fire extinguisher, but oh well.



>Go get a new LOCKER KEY from the security desk using the ID CARD

>Open and inspect our LOCKER.



I think this is slightly more important than asking the jerk security guard for a screwdriver straight away. And he might not have one anyways. When we asked for a screwdriver he said "ID Card" but that doesn't necessarily mean he had a screwdriver for us.

Damn, I completely forgot to stipulate that Harrison had to be the conductor. I guess that'll have to wait for the next time we see Chris.

Anyway, nice ID card finding! Let's go mack on that security gua... no, hang on.

--

4A always had a viewing error of some kind.

Be sure to properly scowl at the security guy when you hand him the ID card. Yeah, he was following procedure, but he didn't have to be a dick about it.

A worn picture of JOHN MCCLANE?

That settles it, we are getting into that ****ing vent if it kills us.





Now I didn't expect the guard would actually have a screwdriver, but we have to get one somehow.


We could try the new house keys on the vent, but that would be RISKY.

I think we should



> Go outside and smoke 1 Cigarette.



That will probably reduce a fair amount of ACRIMONS which will give us more freedom to try things that are RISKY.

err, what's a stamp card? Is that like those senior citizens discount things were you take it to the diner each time you eat there and get your 12th meal free?

--

Hitting on the woman is bound to cause acrimons, considering she's on the phone.

I think it'd be more fun to spray her with the fire extinguisher. Anyone in favor?

--

Aw I thought she was scratching her head... :(

Hitting on the lady will just make us think of Dan. And we don't like Dan right now. But it could be funny!

However...the obvious thing to do in this situation is to...

We don't actually *have* a lunch, do we? Just a $10 to buy one.

>Consider lunch options.


And while we're at it, since we're insistent on not using our last smoke at the beginning of lunch,

--
It's Super Nice to get Dogged in the guru.

The problem is, every time someone's suggested to eat lunch, they've also suggested a load of other things to do as well, so I've ignored it.

Tee hee! I do love puns... :3

And uh... I would've guessed cigarette butts in accompanying pile of ash... eventually... Maybe.

All the panels made me laugh, so I'll sit out the remaining 21 minutes of the day as I'm "not allowed to play" anymore anyway.

--

Oh, maybe she is just scratching her head. I just assumed she was on the phone.

I also just noticed that she has a lollypop or cigarette or something in her mouth. In the event of it being a cigarette:

Ask to bum a cigarette off her.

Does that mean we do have a lunch then? If so, then FFS >Go to STAFF ROOM and eat LUNCH.

Our character will probably develop a great deal more acrimony from not eating lunch, but right now it's bugging me that we're doing everything but. BTW, may I ask what happens as the rageometer fills? Is it just an attribute, or is it more like a limit break?

--
It's Super Nice to get Dogged in the guru.

I have a feeling that regardless what we do we're going to end the day on the way to PLANS as our rageometer reaches it's peak capacity.


I was really expecting a smoke to lower our ACRIMONS but it got twisted into more rage.

We have a good deal of freedom, but there are still some plot rails keeping us going towards the generally "right" conclusion I think.



I also support

> Eat LUNCH

by the way.

You realise I am absolutely kidding about you not being able to play, right?

And yes, she's on the phone. Took less effort to draw her holding it with that hand than the other.
