>Spiderat: Offer secret superhero hideout as a safe place as long as the lady doesn't throw any more phones.

In an ACT OF KINDNESS despite previous encounters with PHONE-THROWING, SPIDERAT offers his SECRET SUPERHERO HIDEOUT as a SAFE HAVEN.


Unfortunately, there always remains THE MATTER OF SCALE.


You begin to get nervous. What if you've gotten yourself into something bigger than you can handle? You need a way out, and fast.


In the midst of your worrying, your SCOOP DETECTOR suddenly goes off again, a tad more urgently this time.

Jammroll: Mistake that scoop detector for a wire. He's setting you up! You know, possibly.

You're about to give it another check when Jammroll suddenly snatches it out of your hand. What gives?!


"Aha! So all this mess; you were just looking for some dirt, eh? Trying to catch me out being disloyal to Redria? I just can't believe you thought you could disguise a wire as this...ice cream thing..."


Almost as if in response, the SCOOP DETECTOR gives even more urgent beeps, as the light on it changes in color...



Top floor.


No time to lose.

>Discount Ice Cream Man: Arrive just in time to be a witness.

In a flash, the DISCOUNT ICE CREAM MAN is summoned through the use of JUDICIOUS APPLICATION OF HOPE and THE POWER OF ICE CREAM!
"You were right, girl! Someone was listening - but I've no interest in your loyalty: Discount Ice Cream Man, at your service. Independent enterprise at the ground level, away from your corporate dramas, providing AFFORDABLE ICE CREAM FOR ALL!


Colored flashes - if there's another super here, that complicates things. A lot.


"SO WHY HAVE YOU SUMMONED-oh hey, Tom. I suppose you need a way out? Again? Well, I'm only too glad to oblige a frequent customer."


"Wait wait wait, what do you mean? What do you have in-?"


"We don't have time!"
True to his word, a LOT OF THINGS begin to happen at once.
"Are you...oh fuck, you're going to explode, aren't you?"
Jammroll grabs you just as the Discount Ice Cream Man summons a gigantic explosion of VANILLA ICE CREAM, presumably affording it through THE POWER OF DISCOUNTATION, forcing you both (and Spiderat) towards the wall.

>Okay, so get going already!

You find a way out. And yet, you're still involved.



You are now LAVENDER DEVIN. You're not sure, but it looks an awful lot like this chump decided to hijack your job. It's that or he just helped them escape.


You pull off your CHAIN-SASH, wrapping the leather around your hand.

Either way, death wish for him.
