Title: Now *I'm* doing that thing with my eyes...
Post by: ryos on September 03, 2009, 04:43:32 AM: We don't get to see Schlock break the others out of jail? No Schlock team on the next job? Phooey.

I'm sure everyone else will get their screentime too, but I kinda think Schlock might be planning something...

Maybe not Michelle, Chisula, and Elizabeth, but I'm sure he can get in trouble with others. After all, his report card says, "Plays well with others, except when he eats them."

And perhaps Schlock will not leave them in jail? Y'a never know, now do you?

Post by: ryos on September 03, 2009, 06:51:54 AM: Wait. I just realized that Thurl never said Schlock should stay behind; only that his *team* would keep fine in jail. Durr.

Looks like that's how it'll go down. Sucks to be on the Schlock team right about now (with Schlock himself included - he must feel like crap).

Yes. Yes he does.

I wonder if "people being left behind" is going to become a theme?

Post by: mbarker on September 07, 2009, 07:48:55 AM: Hum... take a look back at http://schlockmercenary.com/d/20090426.html and you'll see that the ship is going to be in somewhat less than tip-top shape. And apparently Schlock may have to leave his team in jail. So whether "left behind" becomes a theme or not, scramble-as-is certainly is going to be one. Which raises the question of just what exactly they're going to do, but... two more story arcs, right? And Pi seems intent on blowing things up...before they even get there!

I wonder what fullerened anti-matter and powdered cream do when mixed together. Maybe we'll find out....

Post by: mbarker on September 11, 2009, 01:43:21 AM: Worth noting that when Pi wanted to practice with the troops and Kevyn reminded him that all the energetic stuff was locked up, he said the cafe was stocked fine... and they wanted to know who made off with the powdered cream?

Post by: little wilson on September 11, 2009, 02:48:24 AM: True. And I think Kevyn's response indicates that he knows Pi has the powdered cream....I think....
