>ACT 3(V2)You are ARGO LALONDE, several hours in the future, and you are pretty sure that you know for sure what moment everything EXACTLY went to hell in a hand basket. >Reality Check on A Buncha Names?You check over the HIT LIST of FICTIONAL PEOPLE you were told to whip up for this JOB. You just hope it fools the SOVEREIGN SLAYER. >ARGO: Elaborate on what the hell is going on.What's going on? What's going on is a god-damned RESCUE MISSION. All Hands On Deck kinda situation. Several Hours Ago, The SOVEREIGN SLAYER has JADE'S DREAM SELF held HOSTAGE and has fitted her with some kind of SHOCK COLLAR that's keeping her from falling asleep. End Result: Rezi cannot enter the game with Jade unable to WAKE UP. Why is the SLAYER doing this? Well, that happens to be explained several hours ago in the past... > WQ: Receive LETTER.You've received yet ANOTHER letter. "Hey! Looser. It's me again. Did you guess who it was? If you guessed: POST MAILER, PARCEL MISTRESS, or PRETTY MAID, you'd be... RIGHT and yet also WRONG!!! The person we have in custody is NONE OTHER THAN... Your Witch of Space. Good luck continuing the game with her in my hands. She ain't returning to WAKEY LAND until I get what I want, and what I want is SIMPLE... the WHITE KING'S SCEPTER. I know, right, how can *I* get the Scepter when I'm refusing to let the girl let her friend enter? Well, see, that's the genius of it. I know the KNIGHT has TIME TRAVEL up his sleeve. SO... here's the dealio. The Knight Brings me the Scepter, I let the girl go, she lets the SEER in, thus letting SKAIA transform, and allowing the scepter to be gotten and brought to me. SIMPLE. ELEGANT. SHEER GENIUS. And YES, I'll know if it's the real scepter or not 'cause if it don't start hurtling meteors skaia-wards, I AIN'T RELEASING THE GIRL. -The Slickest Sovereign Slayer Around PS: if anyone tries to break her out of my grasp, she gets a CATACLSYM TO THE CHEST. See attached FRONT COVER of DERSITE TIMES to see what that does to a person."> WQ: Freak out.You proceed to FREAK OUT A LITTLE. Never before has a session gone SO FAR OFF THE RAILS! > JADE: Join PM and AR.NUH UH, You, the SOVEREIGN SLAYER, deny that idea in a heartbeat.

SO MUCH SO, in fact, that you want to be JUST ABOUT ANYONE ELSE RIGHT ABOUT NOW. >Be uu?"uu" does not exist as a playable character. You are redirected to the next available "UU" and that is CALLIE LEIJON. And presently, you're PANICKING QUITE HARD. Your VIEW PORT only shows the PRIME SELF of a person- nobody NOTICED that Jade's Dreamself had landed on DERSE until the news broke straight from the SLAYER'S MOUTH and the kids CONTACTED YOU about it. Adding insult to injury is the accursed BAD LUCK FIELD perpetually surrounding the JACK NOIR of that session, preventing anyone from getting a good look at him without SCREWING UP and GAINING ATTENTION, leaving reconnaissance out of the question. YOU JUST FEEL SO USELESS SOMETIMES. > JOHN: Add "Get all TWELVE (12) TROLLS and JADE to REMEMBER" to your list of tasks.You're now the JOHN EGBERT sitting with CALLIE and her FELLOW TROLLS- this being several WEEKS into their future relative to the last time we saw you there. You've already done the TROLLS, but Jade is a problem that you'll have to deal with once you've sorted out the problem the TROLLS are having. That is to say, you and your CONFUSING, SENT OBSCURING BREEZE are the only thing standing between THEM and a GRISLY DEATH between the PROTOTYPED MONSTER'S MANY TEETH. You've yet to go back and TELL YOURSELF to remind all the trolls, though, so there's still THAT wonderful mystery to figure out, but we'll probably not be seeing any of THAT until Act 4. >JOHN: Listen in to Strategy Session with the TROLLSKARKAT: ALRIGHT EVERYONE LISTEN UP.

...What a bunch of JUNK. You never understood WHY your Grandfather worked so many STRANGE JOBS before starting his own company.
>Callie: Ramble about plan.
You detail out a complex plan involving tricking JACK with a list of people who are going to kill him now that he's upset Derse's GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE.
>John: Chime in.
You suggest making the names a bunch of OBSCURE REFERENCES to an old WEBCOMIC that Jack has likely not heard of. Just to add a layer of complexity to the PRANKSTER'S GAMBIT.
> VRISKA: Count the surviving HORRORTERRORS.
You decide to pass the time recounting the HORRORTERRORS...
As usual, you lose count somewhere between "Too Fucking Many" and "Not Enough Dead."
> JOHN: Consider transporting the LANDS, DERSE, and PROSPIT of the TROLL SESSION to the VOID.
You've considered it, and suggested it, but without a place to transplant them too afterwards, KARKAT says it'd just be leaving ONE ENDLESS VOID FOR ANOTHER. You're inclined to agree for the time being.
> JOHN: You really should elimination that EMISSARY OF THE HORRORTERRORS, if it still exists.
The thought confuses you not just because of the grammar. You already double checked the Backup Earth some time ago. You...
You check again just in case you missed something.
....NOPE. You find NO TRACE of the HORROR TERROR EMISSARY. You guess you got rid of it so long ago you don't even remember doing it.
> JOHN: Other than that BACK-UP EARTH, did you bring anything else with you from the original timeline? Perhaps a certain DOLL? Or a CROWBAR?
Dolls? Why would you pick up any dolls??? Crowbars? Oh man you WISH you'd managed to get your hands on that thing before it got swallowed up by a BLACK HOLE. (And most of LOTAK too...)
> JACK: Destroy the BLACK KING, so his SCEPTER never exists.
Nah. You've got PLANS for that SCEPTER. Starting an EARLY RECKONING is ALL PART OF THE PLAN, as is someone STOPPING IT just because you started it ahead of schedule.
The Dignitary thinks you're INSANE for leaving it in play, but YOU'RE THE NEW RULER OF DERSE, you tell him, SO SHUT YOUR TRAP AND LEMME RUN MY CON IN PEACE!

>John: Start writing list of people, and include Moe.You draw upon a wealth of ALTERNATE UNIVERSE TELEVISION, ANIME, MOVIE, VIDEO GAME, AND CARTOON HISTORY to create a RATHER COMPELLING LIST of fictional characters out to get JACK NOIR. For the LULZ you include several characters from SLICE OF LIFE ANIME whose sole defining traits are being MOE. You start giggling madly at the mere idea of some of these characters being out to kill anyone, let alone JACK NOIR. >Karkat: Look over John's shoulder.
You are now KARKAT VANTAS, and you're beginning to think that however long it was between the LILLYPAD DOOR and NOW, it was much too long for John's sanity to come out completely unscathed. >Rezi: Examine window.You open the box marked "ROXY'S WINDOW PROJECT" and find... A matching set of GREEN CUBES, which have plug ports matching the cables attached to MATCHING SETS OF FIVE PANELED RECTANGULAR WINDOWS. Are these...? You plug them into the CUBES, and the frames light up from ONE SIDE despite being supposedly SEE THROUGH?? OH! OH! These are the window pane things they were using in the RESET KIDS SESSION in the PREVIOUS UNIVERSE! The window things that worked like portals! ...These are completely useless right now, and prototyping them seems like a BAD IDEA.

I don't recall a "Moe" from Problem Sleuth, and it's been ages since I read either Jailbreak or Bard Quest. Link Please?? -- > FUTURE DAVE: Pick up WINDOW.You cannot retrieve the window just yet. Another FUTURE YOU stopped you from going to do just that, citing it was a VERY BAD IDEA. > PM + AR: Examine surroundings.
You are now the ARRESTED RENEGADE because the PARCEL MISTRESS is still PRETTY OUT OF IT from CHLOROFORM. You're in a JAIL CELL, one of SEVERAL in Derse's DUNGEON LEVEL. They just throw people in here with other people and the guards often bet on if they'll kill each other. You find the practice DISTASTEFUL but oh well it's not like you were ever in a position to really do anything to fix it. Across the hall is an INMATE who goes by the name of THIEVING NICHOLAS, he's whispering towards anyone who walks by if they'll GIVE HIM A LOCKPICK. Nobody does. Hey, he barks at you once he notices you staring. YOU GOT ANY LOCKPICKS??? He asks in a LOUD WHISPER, thinking it will carry across the hallway better, but the truth is he could be heard just fine at his previous volume. You nervously shake your head and tell him no. > JACK: Receive letter.There is no more JACK, remember? You're the SLAYER NOW. But whatever. A LETTER appears with an [-IFICATE!] sound, it lands on your PRIOSNER'S HEAD. You swipe up the letter and READ IT. " H3Y. J4CK." it reads. " 3NCLOS3D 1S 4 L1ST OF P3OPL3 W3 1N TH3 FUTUR3 H4V3 B33N WORK1NG W1TH TO D3THRON3 YOU. YOU M1GHT B3 WOND3R1NG WHY W3'R3 T3LL1NG YOU TH1S. TH3 R34SON 1S S1MPL3. TH3 R34SON 1S--" The letter, you realize, is TORN here, robbing you of the MOTIVE behind them sending this BLASTED LETTER. However, the rest of the CONTENTS are intact. ...Who the fuck are these people??? Dersites and Prospitians, you're assuming, but... seriously, who the hell are all these people? There's got to be like, fifty freaking names on this list. Damn it, if this list is legit...! Wait, what if it's NOT legit? This tear seems AWFULLY CONVENIENT TO- The TORN PIECE interupts you with yet another [-IFICATE!]... You READ this part too. " --W3 4LR34DY WON. YOU LOS3. 1T 1S 4 V1RTU4L C3RT41NTY NOW.

YOUR RUL3 DROOLZ." ....Okay, you crunch the NOTE FRAGMENT up in your hand and glare at the ceiling. THAT. TEARS IT!!!! NOBODY, and you mean NOBODY. INSULTS. YOU IN SUCH A... FLAGRANT. DISRESPECTFUL... You're so flummoxed and enraged that you never notice a third item appear next to JADE, just conveniently in her line of sight and outside of your own. She reads the note, gasps, then shoves it into her mouth to DESTROY THE EVIDENCE. You, of course, see none of this. Because you're SUPER MAD.

Yeah.... that was a JAIL BREAK that just happened. Oh well, not your problem anymore.
>JADE: What Did the Note Say???
It just said "play along" and that was it besides a cute drawing of a FOX, saying "yiff yiff im gonna be a huge piece of shit and eat this note all day long." Oh DAVE, ever the BEST FRIEND in situations like these.
> SS: Leave on WILD GOOSE CHASE.
LEAVE??? Oh no. You're SURE that's what they want you to do... No. If this IS Legitimate, you'll have your.... But then what about....
GRRR... There's no way this is real!!
But what if it is??
You turn to THE WITCH and ask, Hey, did you ever hear of any "Treppy Pipes" on Prospit?
>Jade: Play Along
You NOD, although you've got no idea what he's talking about.
You don't trust yourself to SPEAK, not with a MOUTH FULL OF PAPER, so you just hope your LEGITIMATELY TERRIFIED EXPRESSION holds firm.
>SS: RAGE.
OKAY. It's LEGIT. That SETTLES IT. You get the CREW ON THE HORN and give them the DOWNLOW.
> AR: Look for something you could use to PICK or else DESTROY the LOCK.
There's NOTHING in the CELL, or on YOUR PERSON that could open the LOCK. Dersite Prisons are notorious for being INESCAPABLE.
> TN: Cause SCENE.
Ugh, that guy keeps yelling about LOCKPICKS.
> DERSITE JAIL GUARD: REACT.
Annnnd now there's the GUARDS...
Wait...
As they're struggling to get a clean shot at knocking the guy unconscious, one of them with a KEY RING waggles their butt in front of your CELL DOOR. Alright, so maybe if you just, sort of reach out and...
>AR: Pickpocket Keys
You Successfully SWIPED the KEYS.
OH GOD YOU JUST PICK-POCKETED A GUARD FOR THE KEYS!?
You Shove the KEY RING under your PRISON SHIRT and hope nobody saw that.
And now the GUARDS are inside TN's cell and pounding away at him mercilessly.
OW. Oooh. OUCH. That ones gonna leave a mark. OOF. Yeaaah... nope, not paying attention anymore to all this senseless violence.

It's never that easy. They only beat on him so far as to knock him unconscious, then they call in a MEDICAL PRACTITIONER to heal the poor guy up. > AR: While everyone is distracted, escape.Are You NUTS!? They're going to be on even HIGHER GUARD while this is going on! How many idiots do you think even tried to escape during a DISTRACTION like this before?? Too many too count. Tried and SUCCEEDED??? You'll give yourself that answer. ZERO. Zero prisoners tried escaping and succeeded during a DISTRACTION. Most of them, the lucky ones, just ended up like TN over there and got an EXTENDED SENTENCE and A HOSPITAL STAY while recovering from injuries. The rest, the unlucky ones, got RECRUITED into some SHADOWY PROJECT you only recently found out about during your stint as a PAPERWORK JOCKEY.

>SS: Give the crew snazzy names.
While you're barking orders to your team, you briefly float using new CODE NAMES for OPERATIONAL SECURITY.
>HB: Despise your new name.
You're the Brute and you say that you DON'T LIKE IT. You don't know what it is yet, but you DON'T LIKE IT.
>DD: Suggest just killing DREAM JADE.
You're the DIGNITARY, and you insist that there's no point in keeping the GIRL ALIVE.
Once more Jack threatens to Cataclysm you in some VAGUELY HORRIFIC WAYS. You're not sure WHY he's so fond of this girl, and quite frankly it's starting to creep you out.
> AR: How many people have ever escaped at all?
In grand total? Five.
Five have EVER successfully escaped DERSE PRISON. Collectively, they've started the occasional HIT AND RUN ROBBERY to keep afloat. The DERSITE TABLOIDS has started calling them the UNDECIDERS or something campy like that.
> MP: Take care of TN.
You watch as the Practitioner does her work PROFESSIONALLY and leaves a moaning THIEF in his cell.
Once she clears out, the CELL BLOCK goes into LOCK DOWN MODE and that will probably last for a FEW HOURS. For now, you'll plan your ESCAPE, but you'll have to do it QUIETLY once the lock down is let up. You can't just rush headlong into this. All the smart ones who DID escape prison did so during the quiet times when everyone's GUARD WAS RELAXED.
Wait. What? What are you even thinking?? Escape??? You're in here because you SKIPPED OUT ON YOUR JOB and CRASHED INTO A REALLY EXPENSIVE CHAIR. Even if you get out you'll have NO JOB what so ever.
And it's not like you can just... defect... to...
You look over at the still dazed and confused PARCEL MISTRESS.
Okay maybe there's an idea, but you're going to have to wait for her to snap out of it before you can discuss any plans with her. She didn't even flinch with all the POUNDING going on. It was like she didn't even hear it.
> ==>
That's when you hear the GROWL.
You look out into the hallway just in time to see the reason why nobody escapes during TIMES OF TROUBLE. That's right, they've got some kind of MUTANT HELL BEAST down here in the dungeons that they let out of its cage whenever someone causes TROUBLE. It's got an EXCEPTIONALLY SHARP NOSE, according to the paperwork, along with some kind of GRABBY TELEPORTY THING going on. The Handler's FOOD FEES cost an ARM AND A LEG and have pretty much tied one arm of DERSE'S BUDGET behind it's back.
It's a rather FREAKY LOOKING MUTANT CAT with some weird GREEN ENERGY CRAP THING going on. Right now it's ON A LEASH, as its HANDLER walks it down the hallways; a show of "You better not do anything stupid now, you hear?"
You shudder to think of what chaos it would cause if it EVER GOT OUT.

>AR: Slightly shake PM.
You nudge her a bit... Yeah, no response beyond a really slow BLINK. She's really out of it. What did they use on her? Cholorform shouldn't act like this, you'd think.
>DD: Realize you Used the WRONG DRUG on PM
Diiid You Now? You have no idea what you're talking about. You're absolutely 100% sure you used THE EXACT RIGHT KNOCKOUT DRUG on the PARCEL MISTRESS.
(You toss an unmarked bottle out into the void when nobody's looking.)
>PS + AD: Receive news of JAILBREAK.
You keep a firm eye on the PROSPITIAN INTER-WEBS until the EXILE CAPSULE is set to depart.
Finally, news of the jailbreak hits, but it's... "EH, we caught the guy but then some other guys broke him out so what do we care?" NO CHASE is reported, and all blame is put FIRMLY on the people who turned the POOR INSPECTOR against his Kingdom in the FIRST PLACE.
> AR: Know any good prison songs?
Even if you did, you wouldn't SING them. That constitutes as CAUSING A DISTRACTION and it'd likely get you BEATEN UP and the STOLEN KEYS DISCOVERED. You don't want that.
