Invincible: One Week

[UnsubRedun]

Punch his face in

REASONABLY REQUEST YOUR FINAL PAYCHECK

Ask for your paycheck and fantasize about taking that sword on the wall and lopping his head off with it.

> "Just give me my money, biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiawwwwwws."

Suppress the urge to push him down and stomp on him repeatedly. Just ask for your money, and hope things don't go south.
If they do, though, stomp away.

His jeering stopped getting to you a long time ago. You were once far more famous and ludicrously more wealthy than this little idiot could ever hope to be. Once...

The most delightful image pops into your head.

"Don't play stupid. You know the only reason I would come to this joke of a club on my off-time. Give me my money." You decide it's best to get right to the point.

"Ah, right", he replies.

"Your check, sir! You earned every mark!"

He seems quite a bit more smug than usual...

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" You're starting to raise your voice a little.

"This is only half of what I earned!"

"No", he reasons, "Your contract says six victories. You only won three matches."

"Bull. Shit. I never lost a single match!"

"Yeah, but you only won three. The other three were called off due to... distasteful tactics."

"They were disqualified for cheating!"

"Meaning you didn't defeat them. You never even stepped into the ring."

"Oh you little SHIT. Give me the money you owe me or-"

"I'll see you Wednesday. Get the fuck out of my office."

You can't seem to recall the last minute or so. You left the VIP room and kind of blacked out. You kind of feel like murdering something. Also, your knuckles hurt really bad, for some reason.

Well, looks like you're not quite finished with this place yet. You've got some money, though. You've got to head by the bank before too late. You also need to pick up your train ticket, and if you have any money left, you should pick up food. A couple of people top say "bye" too, as well.

You don't care where you go next. You just don't want to be here.

>Try and find someone in this town that doesn't make your blood boil.

[Cresent]

>Well, screw this. Forget about getting the rest of the money and just go to pay off your debts and buy that ticket. That is, if you got enough money for it.

[wolftamer9]

> Search for a way to make a lot of money fast, however suspicious or dangerous the source may be.

Train ticket comes before debts. Get to the bank and get the hell out of town

[Pick Yer Poison]

Yank the door open, yell "AND GO TO HELL!" and then leave.

[Dragon Fogel]

>Head to the bank. Also, if money's going to be tight, maybe you can talk to Mrs. Sirkus about working off some portion of your rent? That might be more pleasant than trying to work off your debts with anyone else.

[Yamtaggler]

>You didn't kill him, did you?

[UnsubRedun]

Just some quick info here, guys. I'll be updating again soon, just spending a little time away from all my stuff for the holidays. I'll be right back on this soon!

[Whimbrel]

Hurrah!

[UnsubRedun]

Not cool if it's okay to keep bumping my own thread without any real content, but I figured this post would be important enough to warrant it. Still waiting to get back home before I resume the adventure, should be another day or two. Until then, I have links to both my Tumblr and my DeviantArt (DevArt updated rarely), as well as a link to Invincible in case you see me posting in another thread and need a reminder to yell at me to get back to work.

[UnsubRedun]

Yank the door open, yell "AND GO TO HELL!" and then leave.

>You didn't kill him, did you?

The door only opens from the inside. Besides, he's still holding the other half of your check ransom, so you've still got some work do to for the little idiot.

You could easily snap his head right off, and you've though of doing so many, many times, but as long as he's writing your checks...

Train ticket comes before debts. Get to the bank and get the hell out of town

>Well, screw this. Forget about getting the rest of the money and just go to pay off your debts and buy that ticket. That is, if you got enough money for it.

You quickly storm out of the building and start to head back to your apartment. If you're going to the bank, you're going to have to go into the Upper-Class district. People don't like calling it that, but it's pretty much what it is. You hate that place so, so very much. People there always look at you in the strangest ways... and the ones that know who you are openly treat you with disdain.

Not only that, but you have to put on real clothes. You hate dressing fancy. The illusion of money is not one you enjoy putting on.

You wipe some of the blood from your knuckles onto your pants as you hesitate entering your own home.

> Search for a way to make a lot of money fast, however suspicious or dangerous the source may be.

>Try and find someone in this town that doesn't make your blood boil.

>Head to the bank. Also, if money's going to be tight, maybe you can talk to Mrs. Sirkus about working off some portion of your rent? That might be more pleasant than trying to work off your debts with anyone else.

Hey, it's been about an hour or so, you figure Ms. Sirkus should be up and moving around and not as hostile. Maybe she has something you can do to make a quick few coins. At this point, anything helps.

Gotta' be careful with her, though. Last time you offered to help her, she turned your hair white for a week and you couldn't seem to get the taste of strawberries out of your mouth.

Seeing as you're allergic to strawberries, that was not a fun experience.

You ascend the ladder and pause in front of the door. So not to cause yourself anymore pain, you kick the bottom of the door a few times instead of knocking.

A raspy voice answers back:

"Come in, Shaw!"

Woah, its dark in here.

"Good morning!" your neighbor says with a cheery tone.

"Hey", you reply.

"What brings you here?" she asks.

"Just checkin' up on you. Wanted to let you know I'm leaving. For real this time."

"Oh? Well, good for you! Hopefully you'll stay gone this time!"

She's taking this well. Good.

"Yeah, right? Listen, I'm going to head into town soon, I was wondering if you needed any help before I left. I didn't exactly get paid as much as I thought I was going to this week and I need to earn a little extra scratch for the trip."

"Hm... well, I'm testing this new concoction and-"

"No" you interrupt.

"Alright... well, if you can pick up something from the florist for me while you're there, I'd give you a little something to help with the trip. You're coming back right after, correct?" she offers.

"Yeah, yeah. I still have to pack up my things."

"Splendid" she replies!

Picking up flowers? Finally, something easy.

Aaand I'm back! Again! Sorry for the huge chunk of dialogue toward the end, there. Also, that panel with the gold border? That, my friends, is my 100th panel in this story! Unless my math is wrong, and it could be, because I'm stupid. As of this post, this adventure is officially longer than my last attempt at an adventure, Weye. It's also more popular! Which is good.

And one final note, I'm going to be putting in to get moved out of the Cradle here soon, so be aware if that.

> Find out where said flowers are. And which flowers she wants. Did this really need to be a suggestion?

[Pick Yer Poison]

> Ask what the catch is.

[UnsubRedun]

> Ask what the catch is.

"The catch? Well, since you asked..."

"You simply have to go to the florist and grab me a bag of petals and such! Of course..."

"... we all know that this is the year of the Dragon! You shall be beset by a gigantic, evil beast!"

"You must slay this wicked creature, for the city! For your honor!"

> Find out where said flowers are. And which flowers she wants.

"The catch is that I need ingredients, you need money, and you're my friend."

You thank your reptilian friend and assure her you'll return with her stuff as soon as you get done with your own errands. You know where the florist is; right next to the butchery and sandwich place.

"Tell Goat that I sent you. Money shouldn't be an issue, but if he charges you for some reason, I'll reimburse you when you get back."

You nod and exit the small apartment. Quickly.

Speaking of tiny apartments: home sweet home.

You should really get changed into something that has less of your blood on it. You might need sleeves and real shoes, too. Luckily, you still have a ton of your old clothes put away in your chest. Seeing as your body hasn't been doing much growing for the past 60 years, everything should still fit.

What to wear, what to wear...

Sorry about the delay. This one was actually related to the Adventure!

I redid a ton of stuff. I had gotten really lazy with my art, and I hated it, so I sat down for a bit and changed around a few of the more "problematic" character sheets I have going. Adding details and changing postures and such. I don't really use bases in a traditional sense; I have a bunch of presets that are basically silhouettes that I'll modify for a specific character, so that each person eventually has their own unique silhouette. I've quintupled the amount of standard bases I used to use. You should start seeing more diversity once I start rollin' out more minor characters soon!

As for what's going on with the adventure right now; Shaw needs something nice to wear. Nothing too fancy, just something more than his tank top, blood covered pants, and sandals. Feel free to suggest anything, just try not to go overboard. Feel free to suggest things that aren't clothes, as well!

[Chwoka]

A leather jacket that doesn't close, torn denim jeans, sunglasses, and nothing else.

[UnsubRedun]

You approach your clothing chest hesitantly. Some painful memories in this thing, believe it or not. Just try not to dig all the way to the bottom, you tell yourself.

>Blue coat with gold trim

>Reddish shirt (to hide any bloodstains should you need to hurt somebody)
>Dark tan pants

This is pretty nice...

>Reddish Jacket
>Ascot Cap
>Blue Jeans
>Boots

More your style...

A leather jacket that doesn't close, torn denim jeans, sunglasses, and nothing else.

Well, that took a turn into an interesting place. You're just going to have to compromise, here.

Yeah, that'll do.

You take a moment to put everything into your new pockets. Got your to-do list, you calendar, and your check. A little bit of money, too. Maybe you can pick up a coffee or something cheap if you have to wait in line at the bank. Place is usually packed...

As you finish taking stock of your possessions, you seem... disturbed by something. You can't quite put your finger on it, though...

Oh well.

A short jaunt later and you find yourself at the stable-master's little building at the edge of town. And, just in line with your luck, no-one is here. Shit.

Looks like you've got a bit of a walk ahead of you.

YOU ARE NO LONGER SHAW ALBERICH

It turns out I still exist.

Long story why I disappeared, but it all boils down to the fact that I just didn't find this fun anymore. I thought so, at least, for a long time, but I was constantly thinking about picking this bad boy back up. Maybe it was the increasing work-load I was going through. Either way, I'm back, but as you can see, I'm going to be shifting gears for a bit. I think, maybe if I focus on a different character for a bit, it'll help keep me from getting frustrated with my work.

Hopefully this thing still has an audience. If it turns out that I can still pull suggestions, I will most likely put in a request to be moved out of the cradle. MORE MOTIVATION!
