Epsilon tells the story of the Labyrinth, from his perspective. This makes it short, and grumpier than the story you know, however, the ending is much different...

"Who the fuck are you?" 
"An answer to a question." 
"And what question is that?"
“How am I going to come back to life?”
“What exactly do you mean, you still haven't told me who you are!?”
“That is not important right now, Epsilon Nu Delta. If you want to live, I only ask you to follow a few simple rules, and I have four tasks, or conditions I require you to follow. If I'm extending your life a few years after that awful mess, than I sure am not allowing it for free.”
“What is it that you want from me then?...”

Epsilon's Story is split into Ten sections. The Third and the Tenth are locked until further notice. Do we want to follow them in chronological order, or do we want to choose the pieces of his story?

Important Event: After The Labyrinth.
First Condition: Find me a flower.
Important Event: The Bucket. (Locked)
Second Condition: Sealed Forest.
Important Event: The Feast.
Third Condition: Blooming Flower.
Important Event: The Ring.
Final Condition: … (Locked)

>>227534
Chronological order is fine. Doesn't seem to matter much anyway.

>>227534
Chronological will probably make a hell of a lot more sense, I think.

Yea dude let's take this as it goes, chronologically

because it's logical.

LET'S PUT THIS IN ORDER.

Start in the beginning and I hope for your sake I'm in this story.

Let's do it chronologically, no reason to make things more confusing.

Reverse Chronological.

Start at the end, then skip to the front.

Chronological is boring. Mix it up so we figure out bits and pieces of the story as we go.

See, even the dice think we should go

Epsilon begins to experience a very intense series of pains wracking his body, or what felt like he had one at the very least.

"I said I'd do it, what are you doing to me?!" Epsilon cries out, shaking as he tries to move himself, but cannot quite seem to manage yet. As if he was receiving all the penalties for having a body, and none of the privileges.

"I hope you did not think coming back to life was going to be a pleasant experience, my Angry little Shark. First I am going to give you a test. It will be very fun. (For me, at least.) It has been several hours. Your fellow prisoners are dead or gone. You cannot save anyone, it is too late. I am not helping you so you can be a hero. I am helping you so you can be my tool. I can feel your anger rising at that very sentiment alone and it is like an symphony to my ears. The choices you make with the abilities I give you are yours to abuse. If you get killed again I can't promise I will help you. If you can enjoy your own escape and a small taste of revenge and survive, then it will be time to inform you of your responsibilities."

"I guess, but I don't like being used."

"Well that's too bad and too late. Goddamn, you should wake up you big baby, you're drooling all over yourself! Ahahaha..."

Epsilon wakes up approximately where he died. The room smells like rotting flesh. He starts to push off of the ground, but it is harder because his body feels as if it is burning. He can hear movements and the place is very well lit. There are people here cleaning up the Labyrinth after the last run.

He has received blessings from his mysterious deity benefactor. He can focus his aura for either Offense or Defense. It takes a couple turns to switch, and has a single turn with no aura bonus at all.

Has has access to more abilities powers.

Dark Sight: Distant disembodied third eye in the shadows.
Mental Block: Makes him unable to communicate or be influenced by abilities except for the Deity that put it on him.
Shadow Sprint: He can use shadows and/or the darkness around him to travel from one place to another rapidly.

Stealth and Shape shifting remain from your past.

[ Temporary lack of interface! ]

Epsilon's arsenal of abilities and his natural strengths currently do not drain or take time to recover. It is considered a 'blessing' from who is 'helping him out'. If people start purposely try to break the game due to the freedom, the blessing will fade early, and he'll go back to being limited. This is my attempt for more of a Rule of Cool approach for most of this chapter.

GET UP. FIND A CLEANER. DEMAND INFORMATION. WHEN YOU HAVE LEARNED ALL YOU CAN, DESTROY IT. IF YOU HAVE TIME, CONSUME ITS FLESH TO REGAIN YOUR STRENGTH.

THAT'S WHAT ORGANICS DO, RIGHT?

>>228114
Engage stealth mode, and find someone to interrogate/kill. Also activate Defense aura, since you're nekkid and unarmed.

>unarmed

I think you don't understand. He is the weapon. Stealth and offensive mode enabled. Those fuckers are going to learn a lesson about throwing people into Labyriths.

I agree on the stealth approach. Lets find out whats going on without attracting too much attention.

be like batman, sneak up on someone and then take them out.

Shift the aura to Defense, in the interest of not dying so much.

Use Stealth. Hide and get your bearings.

Unarmed? Epsilon is only without a weapon when he is dead. His hands and jaws are more than enough to hold his own.

Defensive Aura selected for now.

Epsilon goes into stealth mode and slips into the next room. Most of the workers seem to be in the earlier rooms cleaning up. There's a closed door, and a pit of sand on the floor in the middle of the room. Propped up against the wall and the closed door is a fairly torn up box. You do hear a lone worker grumbling and whistling in the room nearby.

It looks like this larger semi-circular room used to be filled with something. The room with the whistling fellow has been drained, and a mechanic is working on things down below the balance beam. He doesn't seem happy to be working down here. Nobody else is in here at this very moment.

Epsilon could either move on stealthily, interrogate the mechanic complaining about working on pipes, or the gods know what else.

>>229083

Sneak upon, subdue and interrogat him. Scare the shit ot of him, along the way.

Ask about a way out, that's the most important thing right now.

Don't let him call out. Death threats are good here if you want him to talk.

If you promise not to hurt him if he keeps quiet, you might have to kill him anyway.

>>229083
Interrogate him. But be sure to keep him quiet. If he so much as begins to raise his voice, bite his troght out.

>>229083
Considering the nature of this place, it wouldn't be a stretch to conclude that the something that comes out of those pipes is very dangerous.

I think we should eavesdrop on the mechanic to find out his attitude towards the king. Taking revenge out on someone who hates working here would be... well, wrong. They'd just be doing their job, yanno?

Maybe we can find out some information that way as well. If there's no reason to reveal our presence, we should not do so.

>>229083
Is that the pit Nic died in? Try to get some of her remains if you can; she deserves a proper burial at least.

He's just a worker, he's not going to have any information except on the workings of the labyrinth, and we already know how to get through it. And you can't keep him quiet after you leave, so it would almost certainly require killing him. Just sneak past him, maybe eavesdrop a bit on the way.

>>229083
Eh, don't kill the poor bastard, whatever else.

Don't kill him, just eavesdrop and if you have to, interrogate and knock him out.

be like dark knight batman, totally dick with him but don't kill.

they're probably just doing their job, i imagine saying no when the king asks you to repair things gets you thrown down here.

Sneak up, snatch the worker, and drag him out of sight in case there's a partner nearby. Hand-over-mouth.

>>229083
Is that Asali? Go hit on her.

Nope, no tail.

Epsilon doesn't see anything else here beyond the worker. If there was any hint of a corpse, or blood, that would appear to be taken care of. Epsilon does not know the status of his former companions, either.

Epsilon sneaks up behind the worker.

"This is the grossest job. I want to just go home a--" He is cut off by Epsilon lifting him up in a choke hold. Epsilon 'gently' slams him up into the wall with one hand over his mouth.

"I'm only going to say this once. Be quiet. I will slaughter you. I am having what I would consider a very bad day and all I need is an excuse. I need to know things, and you're going to help me, correct?"

He seems absolutely frightened. The bubble touched nods to Epsilon slowly.

What should Epsilon say/ask him?

>>229732
"Where do you put the remains of the people who die here?"

>>229744
What is he going to do with remains? Maybe ask what happened to the last party to come through here?

“What happened to the other people who went through here?”
“Three of the ten people sentenced survived. The rest of them died.”
“What was done with the people who died, then?”
“Most of them were defiled and cleaned out of the labyrinth by the King's decree. The Shadow couldn't be found, unsurprisingly.”
“Of course, that's me. Where is the King?”
“The King lives on Bobble Island. That's pretty well known, but I guess you aren't a Bubble Dragon descendant.”
“Very observant. How do I get out of here? Safe and fast. How many people are in here?”
He points to the door following the balancing beam opposite of the way you entered.
“Go through there, just follow the doors out and be careful, although currently the traps are either broken or off so we can clean up and maintenance this hellhole. I don't really care about this place. I was unfortunately hired to do some of the work because I'm the only mechanic on the island. There are a couple dozen workers, The Duke, and about half as many soldiers outside or inside of the facility. Most of them are towards the beginning as there was a lot of work to do there. Is there anything else you need to know? Please don't kill me. I don't support this place.”
“Thank you for your help, and I'm sorry.”
“Sorry for wh--”

Epsilon whacks his head against the wall, perhaps a little bit too hard. The worker is knocked out and collapses to the floor. He doesn't feel spite towards the man, but for both of their safety in the situation it is better that he is unconscious.

reactivate stealth mode and move on.

Alright, check his pockets, loot anything useful you might find. Then activate your stealth powers and go through the door he has told you. Carefully.

Take his wrench and anything else obviously useful. Go through the doors, like he said.

Just undress him and wear his stuff. I mean, not that I don't appreciate asses in my face like that, but clothes have the advantage of pockets, see.

Won't clothes fuck up our shapeshifting? Let's go towards the exit like the guy said. Also, use Shadow Sprint!

Watch out for Mister Hoppite. :o

>>230329
He's dead at the moment. Epsilon killed him right before he got tossed in here. Asali doesn't bring him back as a Wraith until much later.

>>230330
Herp derp nevermind.

I guess Epsilon's gonna get captured again later and THEN we kill the Duke.

Epsilon swipes poor unconscious Raisin of his uniform and partially shape shifts to look slightly less suspicious.

He sneaks partially into the next room, noticing the only person in here is grumbling about having to sweep. A strange light fixture is attached to the door humming loudly, vividly displaying the paths while the laborer sweeps up the sand.

Epsilon guesses that this room was traversed with minimal incident because of the sand mess, but with the hidden walls this was certainly a death trap even to work in, or have to go through.

Still no sign of a single soldier, beyond the man tediously sweeping up the former hidden path, the room is just a deep empty space.

Can you use Shadow Sprint to travel via the darkness below, or is that beyond your ability?

If you can, swoop down from below up to the janitor, tackle him and knock him out before proceeding.

If you try to use the bridge, the janitor will spot you before you can silence him. Unless, of course, you're feeling really acrobatic.

Oh wait, you're disguised. Just walk across, they probably won't recognize every single worker that's doing maintenance, so you might be able to bullshit your way out of this.

>>259862
Hurl Pokeball on belt to unleash the fury that is Diglett.

Walk over the bridge like you were another worker, try not to startle him. Get closer so you can lunge at him if needed.

He seems focused on his work. If he doesn't even look at your face, just walk on by.

Just stroll on by like nothing's happening. If he flips out, bash his face into the invisible wall.

Epsilon does his best to keep his cool and calmly walks along the path before walking past the worker that is sweeping up all the dirt. He kind of starts looking up, but he doesn't react.

Making it to the door, you can hear people in the next room. Two of them are complaining because they don't know how to fix the machines, a less friendly third voice barks, "Well where's the damn mechanic then?"

MAKE SURE THIRD VOICE GUY MEETS AN UNFORTUNATE END

A VERY UNFORTUNATE END

Go into stealth mode, try to enter the room without being seen by the guys inside. You're dressed as the mechanic and have no idea how to fix whatever is broken.

Better knock that janitor out before you head into the next room. The screams are gonna alert him.

Epsilon feels about as snazzy as he can dressed like a mechanic. He vows to get mechanics' uniforms off in the future.

He succeeds in stealthily riding the walls of the large room as he watches the other people in the room interact.

The soldier, one of the King's personal army has his gun raised. "This all needs to be fixed, and it needs to be done soon. If you are refusing, then I will consider it treason."

The worker in question stumbles back slightly. "H-hey! I'll go get the mechanic in the other room, please don't overreact like that. We normally don't have so many things to fix down here, that's why we had to contract one fast. Don't shoot me, let me go get him."

The other worker puts his tools down and tries pays more attention, "Hey, calm down, we're doing our best here, you can't expect the work to get done that we're not trained for just because you have a gun!"

"Well, stop cowering and go get the goddamn mechanic before I fire and force your fat co-worker to do it covered in your brains," the soldier snaps, fingers and arms cocking to a more rigid position back against his right shoulder as if to prepare to fire.

Epsilon's hand gently takes the soldier's shoulder, "That is by my knowledge no way to speak to a lady."

The man starts to form a word, but Epsilon interrupts quite rudely. The poor woman is covered in gore, but at least it isn't hers, right?

The two workers seem shocked, and are preparing to flee down the door you originally entered.

"Don't worry, I'm with the union!" Epsilon triple guesses his illogical statement and says it anyway. Luckily they're too busy fleeing in terror to notice. He figures that if they are running--

"Be careful on the 'hidden' path!" Epsilon calls after them, ever the stickler for safety awareness.

--running towards more soldiers, Epsilon will be tattled on so the workers aren't sentenced to death for the soldier's demise. He steps into the next room.

Oh gosh! How lovely, it seems these two have mostly cleaned up the mess, and have it all tightly sealed in an industrial trash bag. The female is still sitting, apparently having worked on the weird cylinder in middle.

"P-Pudding, I think we should find more work to do, if this room is clean and ready. It's like asking for trouble to not help finalize all the work," She stammers, rocking the toolbox side to side.

"Don't worry so much, Lynn," He says, rolling his eyes, "If a soldier strolls in, you just fiddle around and get up with your toolbox, I'll grab the bag and we 'just finished,' right then. Make sense?"

"I guess so."

>>262924
Slide on up behind them, wrap both arms around their middle and give them this big of sage advice.

"Ladies, let me give you a tip. Always tell your boss that any given task will take triple the amount of time it will actually take. This way you will be seen as a miracle worker when you finish a 3hr task in 20 minutes. Okay later, call me~"

Then kiss them both and stroll on out. LIKE A BOSS.

Do this, failing to realize that one of them is a dude.

Should we recognize these two? Or the contents of the trash bag? Because I sure don't.

Consider asking. And/or turn on the charm.

Act less crazy. Instead, just sneak on past since we kindof need to get out before more soldiers come.

See if they have valid information that can be used to further accomplish your goal. If this is not a valid action, flex muscles and strike various poses to show off your fabulous physique.

Epsilon sneaks up behind and between the two and speaks, “Ladies, I have a tip for you. If you exaggerate how much time a job will take you before you are done you will seem efficient if you finish it below the estimate. I need to get going, so both of you call me.”

Pudding starts to mouth something about not being a lady at all, but he is interrupted. Epsilon then proceeds to kiss the man and a woman nice and firm on the lips, embarrassing them further than he already had.

Epsilon does not know this room, unlike the other folks who traveled through the Labyrinth with you so he doesn't know what's in the bag. The following room seems to be a huge grid of tiles.

“Before I go, this is the way out, right? Is there anything I should know?” Unfortunately for the smooth shark, the two are too speechless to give him any information at all. They don't know whether to go back to work or go try and get help. Tiles shouldn't be an issue for Epsilon, he's on a roll.

>>264924
Don't step on any of the tiles, yet somehow wind up moving through the room. (use shadow sprint!)

Use Shadow Sprint to make a dramatic exit of the room and to cross the tile room without -almost- touching the tiles!

Admire the pretty tiles, then mock the meaning behind them by taking the exact opposite oder then they should be taken in. Finally, stroll to the door as if you'd done nothing.

Epsilon gives a halfhearted wave and uses the shadows and darkness of the room to completely ignore the tiles, whatever purpose they may have. This is definitely an easy thing to do, and he is now entering the adjacent room.

The ease of his entry may have backfired. The new room is filled with people. There are five workers cleaning the floor, and one soldier walking around slowly. Certainly a lot less aggressive soldier than the last one.

The soldier, dog, owl, and bubble held noticed Epsilon's entrance. The large scrubbing bubble touched, and the lizard don't seem to see Epsilon, or care (yet). The soldier steps either towards direction of the owl and Epsilon. The bubble held and dog continue to work.

The owl is a much different sort, “Nice going, you jackass! Nobody asked you to come in here with your fancy mechanic belt and overalls. We're in here doing all the real work and you come in here to walk all over the floors we're cleaning. How about you do us a favor and go fix some other room's fangled electronomothons.” The nice old owl says.

The lizard laughs. The dog up on the tilted platform shakes his head, “If you would stop complaining, you might get the floor done faster, you know.”

The room smells very foul, and with the stains of blood Epsilon thinks someone may have died in here. This makes him a little more agitated.

"whew smells like somebody died in here"

We could easily kill the soldier, the workers would just flee and leave us alone, but I'd rather we tried a non-violent approach unless we have to defend ourselves.

Nonchalantly ignore the soldier and walk towards the exit of the room, say that you're done fixing stuff in the other rooms and you're checking if there's something else you can do. You'll be on your way, no need to get up.

>>265869
I think in this case we shouldn't immediately kill the soldier. Just go "Yeah okay, I'm going." and move along.

...I wonder why the soldier is covered in bandages? Is he an Undead type?

>>265869
"I AM THE UNION ENFORCER. THE EMPLOYEES IN THIS ROOM ARE NOT BEING TREATED TO THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THE UNION CHARTER."

Punch the guard until he is unconscious.

"VIVA LA UNION!"

Then ske-daddle before anyone can figure out what the FUCK is going on.

>>265894
Epsilon. If you can handle making a scene again, do this.

If you don't feel like stirring shit up go on to the next room. "Shut your piehole. I'm working just as hard as you."

the guard would probably just take it out on all the engineers

>>265869
"Really? They look fine to me. Here, let me test them."
Throw the guard into the room. Aim for the wall that doesn't have any doors or buttons.

THE WORKERS MUST BE FREED, SLAVERY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

YOU MUST MAKE THEM PAY.

WITH. THEIR. BLOOD.

Let's just pass on through without making trouble. A string of panicked workers running everywhere is only going to get more people killed.

>>267226

Epsilon gives a noticeable pause before responding to the worker(s). He is very conflicted. Resisting his urges for blood, and to kill. He resists his instincts and begins a cool strut up the ramp towards the next room. “I'm done with my work, no need to get so worked up. Just passing through,” Epsilon chimes, continuing his trek towards the door. 

The workers mostly go on without a second thought. The soldier stands and observes in silence. The owl takes the handle of his cleaning tool, and points after Epsilon, “Yeah, just leave.” 






“Jackass!” The owl finally goes back to work.

Epsilon can see a piece of what looks like Jack's frame. This causes a soft chuckle, followed by a sigh. Epsilon had wanted to kill him multiple times. He wasn't actually pleased Jack was dead, but he sure wasn't going to be moved to tears. He can hear a couple people talking in the next room.

give that soft supple frame a gentle rub for old times sake

Peek into the next room without being noticed, see if the people talking are soldiers or not.

Claim foot as grisly trophy. Mount it on your wall.

Carefully observe the people in the next room and then make your move. If you're lucky they're just workers, and if you're really lucky they might have something interesting to say.
Also, try not to look suspicious to the guard or other workers while doing this.

Are there sufficient shadows to observe undetected? If so, do.

Epsilon settles into the shadows and sneaks in to get a better view of the next room. Sure enough Jack has been blown to pieces and is all over the room.

Inside of the room is a small robot close to the ground, and a Puppet in a worker jumpsuit.

“There-is-so-much-to-push-I-am-happy!” The robot speedily rolls around, enthusiastically pushing at metal pieces, as if to gather them together.

“You're very easy to please, Pushie. Then again I don't even have too much 'work' to do in the first place. It's just me chilling around until they need to test one of the traps. I should probably start going further in to help, but nah.”

“I-am-happy-to-keep-you-company!” Pushie MKI responds and rolls, nudging at pieces of Jack.

The way to the next room is open. Epsilon can hear somebody in the next room, possibly actually getting some work done.

>>269038
Figure out a way to scrawl "Epsilon was here, Jack is a loser" on the back of Jack's head.

Then proceed to shadow stealth into the next room. THIS IS A SNEAKING MISSION.

Steal the pieces of Jack and cause a Time Paradox!

Just kidding. Sneak to the next room and see who's in there.

Poor crash test dummy..oh well next room

Become a sleuth and discover why Jack is laying on the ground in pieces. Or just proceed to the next room and look for anything interesting.

Consider briefly taking Jack with you to see if you can get him repaired, then realize you have no way of carrying him.

First things first. How could Jack have ended up in this position? Well anyone can see that without Epsilon around, there must have been a big heavy bomb that Jack wasn't manly to pick up by himself so he did what he had to do and sacrificed himself for the ladies.

Epsilon thanks Jack for his sacrifice with a friendly note on the back of his head. Sneaking towards the next doorway, he skips a piece into the ramped room and Pushie scurries after it to go nudge it back in here with the rest of them.

In the next room, Epsilon notices that there are no new doors, but there is a ladder going up. There is also a hawk fellow who seems to be just finishing up some repair work. “I am way too old for this shit,” the gruff voiced feathered one groans, and proceeds to rub at his lower back.

>>269525

sneak past but ask "just how old is that"

>>269525

Don't get into trouble now that you're getting to the exit. Nonchalantly walk towards the ladder with a "good afternoon" for the hawk and climb up.

The old one is of no consequence, messing with him would be a waste of time. Unless he addresses you, ignore him.

Epsilon leaves the old bird alone, and slips up the ladder. The room seems to be a spiral staircase going up quite a ways. He can only kind of see one worker lazing about the staircase. Remember that request for a disco pose? Well he does it now.

As boring and empty as this stairwell might be, he can't be entirely sure what or who all is in here, and the next room is too far away. How should he get up there?

The worker he can see is watching Epsilon and giving off an endless chain of the Cicada's song. It's somewhere between pleasant and irritating.

>>270746
disco on up those stairs brotha.

Walk up the stairs like a boss, say "'sub bro." to the Cicada. If he doesn't stop you, keep going up.

Go up the stairs as if you work there and try not to get too annoyed at the Cicada, if you hurt him and anyone else sees you'll be in for it.
Watch out for guards and anyone else that might pose a threat as well. Now get your ass out of here boy.

Use Dark Sight to see if anyone's up on the stairs/top of the stairs we need to worry about.

Epsilon begins his long climb up the stairs. The Cicada stops its song temporarily when he is being passed.

“Sup, bro,” Epsilon greets him and keeps on going. The song resumes, but after a while it's hard to even hear. The staircase goes on for quite a while.

Finally when he reaches the top, he closes his eyes and focuses to use Dark Sight.

In the throne room that Epsilon presses into the entrance of, there is a doorway near the throne. There is also a man praying quietly next to it. Epsilon does not know much about the Bubble Dragon people, but he knows enough to recognize the rare white scales.

The Pluma soldier has a custom uniform different than the other soldiers.

The Pluma clan are a small religious group known for their very powerful Light elemental magic, and the rare ability to revive the dead. This is very important to take note since Shadows are extremely weak to Light and Electric elements.

ok I'm gunna have to say we should avoid this guy/room at all costs. Shadow Sprint through before he notices your DARK AURA thingy.

Something tells me that this guy isn't gonna buy that you're a mechanic. Sneak past him and continue your way to the exit.

Shadow Sprint through the room unless it's more dangerous to do so, other wise walk though the room as if it's your job to do so. If you can, try to suppress any aura you might be radiating.

If he stops you then act normal and talk to him as if her were you superior. Try NOT to start anything and should you fail, run as fast as your sharky legs can go.

Oh god. Avoid him, seriously.

WONDER SHARK (shapeshifting) POWERS ACTIVATE

Skitter across the ceiling in your tiny gecko form. But not directly over top of him, like, a good deal away from him then go through the doorway and THEN poof back into sharkness.

Epsilon drops his aura. He shadow sprints around the room effortlessly, while reducing his size. The Soldier Priest does not notice your actions. As you enter the next room you witness two people.

The first you recognize as Duke Hoppite the Third. The second is a short squirrel girl you don't know. “What in the world are you doing in here?” The duke demands.
“I-I uh, came in here to leave a sign to remind Joseph something.”
“Then why the hell didn't you just go tell him instead of writing it. You infuriate me, just get out of my way.” The Duke pushes her up against the wall violently as she holds tightly to the sign, and the Duke vanishes out of the room. The sign still glows red and active for the workers to come and go as they wish.

The Squirrel finishes writing the sign and hangs it up on the wall once she gets up off of the floor.

Epsilon is multiple shades of angry. He has a chance to switch to Offensive Aura, or to go back to Defensive Aura if desired, but he is moments from catching up with the Duke if he moves quickly.

Offensive aura. Briefly take a peek at the sign though. Waiting just one second won't fuck anything up, and it could be important information.

VENGEANCE MUST BE HAD! MAKE HASTE AND DESTROY YOUR FOE!

...I wonder what it says on the sign though.

Smack squirrel girl on the ass with your tail as you go.

We know what the sign says. Don't waste a second, offensive auro, go after the Duke and DESTROY him.

Change to Offensive aura and let high tail it out of this lethal labyrinth.
But first tell the pretty squirrel she won't have to worry about such treatment in the future, then quickly steal a kiss or ass grab before going after your dinner.

>>/questarch/208240

Epsilon activates Offensive aura and gives the squirrel a nice firm grab on the ass before stepping back and teleporting on out of the Labyrinth for good.

With nine soldiers standing on guard watching out for any attacks on the Duke, he only has precious seconds remaining to live, even if he didn't know it yet. He was smiling, smug, and about to bark orders about how the hard workers weren't doing near well enough for his tastes when he is abruptly, and violently interrupted with an extremely enraged shark.

As Duke Hoppite the Third's first life is falling to its end, along with a good portion of his blood and organs, Epsilon has decisions to make. There are nine soldiers, and one other person coming near.

How should Epsilon handle this situation: Surrender, Fight, or Run?

You just killed the duke, even if you surrender they're gonna shoot your ass off.

Activate Defensive Aura and run! Look for the nearest exit and/or place to cover from boolets.

Use the upper half of Hoppite as a shield. He's not 100% dead yet, so they might hesitate to fire, if only for a few seconds.

Run the fuck away.

Your immediate lust for vengeance is sated. Self-preservation override active. Withdraw from combat zone utilizing any available cover, including halves of assholes.

>>272585
Are there guards on BOTH sides of him, or just one? Because I think I see the gun barrels of guards poking in from the left side of the view. If there ARE guards on both sides then that will have to be factored into our actions.

Hurl severed halves of Duke at Guards, escape by barreling into another and slamming his head into the ground, then flee.

Run bitch! Run for your life! Shadow sprint preferred method of doing so.

Taking the time to slaughter them all is needless danger, but maybe you could just rip and tear one or two on your way out? You know, if they try to get in your way?

You already killed the duke. Its not like you can get in any MORE trouble for brutally killing a few guards on the way out. I mean what are they gonna do, kill you twice three times?

And what's this about another non-guard person approaching?

>>272585
I'd say no witnesses, but you left guards alive inside so that plan doesn't really work.
Instead tell this prick "Justice is served" before he does, then steal his corpse so you can loot it at your convenience.

>>272585
Grab the amulet and slam it into the circle.

Grab the duke's upper body and flee. Rip the amulet off as you go and avoid running toward the person on the way, but if it seems to be someone Innocent then discard the duke and grab them instead. You never know who it might be in this situation.

>so they might hesitate to fire
>on a torso

>>272645
Grab the amulet as you spin and toss the Duke's top half at three of the guards, then continue your spin as you toss his lower half at the other three. The incoming body parts should give the guards a startle and throw them off guard. We should then take this opportunity to GET THE FUCK OUT.

Better take the top half with you don't want that priest inside bringing anyone back to life.

Run, and throw the body parts at them as you do to interrupt their fire.

Epsilon hurtles the corpse portions towards the soldiers, but he can only hurl the two halves so far, and towards one group out of three sets of soldiers. He does his best to start running away but he doesn't make it very far.

Epsilon is riddled with bullets from the many soldiers. His body bursting with his shadowy ichor, and being replaced with pain. He collapses crippled to the ground, holding himself up with his arms by his willpower alone, waiting for a new round of gunfire when a loud shout is heard instead.

“Cease your fire!” The new figure steps forward, while Epsilon bleeds out. She is a well dressed female Ghoul. “Detective Nisha, I believe Wormwood is my jurisdiction, and as this fellow has somehow survived his Labyrinth sentence, and made it out, he is legally pardoned of all crimes sans the one just committed. He will be treated, and put to trial. I believe there are a few medics on duty....” Nisha restrains Epsilon in handcuffs, a charge coursing through his form. The shackles having a special effect to bind Shadows.

For the time being, Epsilon will be hospitalized, and then imprisoned. Until his next adventure, any single person on the island Epsilon would like to speak to from Prison?

The powerful blessings have faded away, most of Epsilon's new abilities have set to Level 1.

Offensive Aura
Defensive Aura
Dark Sight
Shadow Sprint
Psi Recovery
Psi Well

also psi recovery and stealth since you keep getting critically wounded.

OFFENSIVE AURA.
PSI WELL.

[ Finding the Flower ]
Epsilon is treated by the medics nearby, and he is shackled with Shadow restraining shackles to prevent him from using his Shadow abilities to escape.

Stealth, Shape Shift, and Shadow Sprint are currently unavailable for use.

Epsilon's psychic abilities are not hindered, because his captors were not aware of them. Upon his recovery from the many gunshots, he was put in the cell of Chili Town's police station for the time being. He was allowed contact with one person and after a lot of thought, he requested Shula to come see him.

“How did you get out, I am pretty sure we watched you die.” Shula speaks softly to Epsilon through the bars, almost whispering. The Police chief, a soldier, and a couple other officers walk around the building.

You have about 10 minutes to speak with her, what should we talk with Shula about.

"I got better"

>>275229
"You can't kill the stubborn. Obviously you got out, why are you still locked up? What happened to that full pardon bullshit? And furthermore who died down there? Don't sugar-coat it for me, I already know Jack bought it, and they were cleanin' up -someone's- gore."

Gloat about killing hoppite. Ask how life's treating her. Ask what happened to your lady.

"I'm too handsome to die."

Tell her about how did you kill the Duke, yes. Ask about what happened after they escaped, how's life treating her and how are things going in the outside world.

Aside from regaling the armored female with the tale of your victory, ask her to get someone to bust you out. If she seems reluctant, try to persuade her by any means necessary. Even (urgh) organic mating rituals.

Come to think of it, she IS a digger. See if she can't help with the escape by digging an escape tunnel.

Ask how things have been going in town now that the Duke's dead.

1. "I got better" is the best reply, also tell her about the duke's "untimely" end.
2. Ask about the others and what happed
3. Ask about the situation on the island
4. Ask about any ways of getting out of your current situation.

Epsilon slowly rises up off of the prison bed and leans up against the wall before he answers Shula's question, “We'll just say that I am just so handsome, I got better. What's going on around Chilitown?”

Shula doesn't look too satisfied with your answer, but she doesn't pry further, “ There are still soldiers on guard around most of the buildings. They're waiting for a ship to pick them up. It seems like like if you want to escape then you might want to do so before their boat arrives. I believe they intend to execute you in front of the King. I would do it myself but they're watching us very closely. What did you do to get thrown in jail, wasn't going through there and dying enough?”

Epsilon grins proudly at this query, “The very second I made it out, I bit that smug Duke in half. I didn't think too much in advance about all of the soldiers. Now I'm back in jail. More importantly what the hell happened down there, who else died besides Jack. I found them cleaning a bunch of gore on my way out.”

Shula takes a deep breath and leans into the bars, taking a firm hold with one hand, “Nic fell into some chemical pool. It was really messy, and shook us up. Celst lost her legs, Jasper lost a bit of his tail. Celst told me that you saved her from some of the other people sentenced. I think she was more pained when you died than when she was further crippled. Is there anything you'd like me to tell her?”

Is there anything in particular Epsilon should say to Celst?
If Epsilon is going to escape and/or break out, he's certainly going to need a plan to do it with the Royal Soldiers keeping close watch.

Ask her to tell Celst that you're ok and that you're very sorry about her legs. Also that you'll go see her as soon as you break free from here.

Ok, now for the escape plan, we need more info. How many guards are watching the cell? How many are outside, are there cameras?

Also we need to know how to breaf free from the shackles, ask Shula if she thinks she would be able to break them with her claws. If not, see if she can smuggle in something to do the job. A welder, for example.

>>275749
Maybe Offensive Aura can break the manacles. Then we just shapeshift through the bars.

Just tell Ceslt that you're OK. That's really what will probably help her the most. Apologizing for dieing is lame.

Tell Celst you're sorry and that you're dumb for not telling anybody, especially a blind person, that you can't really die.

Jerk

>>275749
Tell Celst that you told her that you'd both get our!

tell her "See you around some time"

It could be possible to use offensive aura against the manacles, but Epsilon's body is still recovering and the excessive strain could be difficult to both break out and get away safely, but it is an option if it comes to that. 

“Let Celzt know I'm alright, and that I am sorry for seeming as if I died. I wish I had been there to help. I'll see her again later. Now thank you, but give me a second please, Shula, I have an idea.” 

Shula stares at Epsilon bewildered, doing her best without words to remind Epsilon that both the police chief and a soldier were standing watch close-by. 

Epsilon uses Dark Sight. Psi Well is now empty.

Epsilon sees a robot police dog somewhere nearby, with the keys. She seems to be trying to find something in the filing cabinets. When Epsilon snaps back to reality, Shula is still giving the same strange stare. 

“Look, Epsilon, I understand you want to get out, but we've only got a minute or two left to talk and there's guards outside every building, four patrolling the area, and extras inside here, and the tavern watching us. Celst and Jasper will probably help once I let them know but you better take in mind that none of us want to get in trouble for your violent self.” 

“Last question, are there cameras?” Epsilon looks up towards the pangolin. 

“Only in the bank, this is a small island village.” She answers. The Chief seems to be getting ready to issue Shula off.

>>276417
We'd better sit still and recover a little, then. No way we can get out right now. Once Shula is gone, continue using Dark Sight as it becomes available to see where all the guards are.

Hmmm, let's see...

Idea: Whisper Shula where the keys are. Then have her go and tell Jasper and Celst.

Next step is have one of them cause a ruckus in the village. I don't know, simulate a robbery, call the police and tell them that terrorists are attacking their house, something to make them leave the station.

They will likely leave at one person watching, so then Shula and Jasper (or Celst) come to the Station. One asks to speak with Epsy, but instead steals the key while the other one distracts the guard.

Epsilon, attempt to break out by being THE STRONGEST!! ..And then head off to find the robotic woman and frisk her for info and the keys then attempt to double back and meet up with everyone before they try to escape (assuming they will be able to).

There's not much else you can do for now apart from telling her to relay your position to allied forces. Getting the key would be difficult at this point. Getting it back to you would be even more so. If Shula was an experienced thief, she might be able to get them, but I doubt this is the case. Besides, stealing from a police bot? Unlikely in the best of circumstances.

Also, dat chassis~

make sure you dance while she leaves

this isn't a bad idea, if the guards actually care about the citizens. How about the ruckus is something more appropriate like sayyy... call it in as rebels or make an explosion somewhere in town, the guards would rush to that.

I think you should tell Shula about the keys. Then have her get Jack and Celst and create a diversion at the police station, while Shula (or whoever is most well suited) lifts the keys and gets them to Epsilon.

Then once you get out you can help them get away, if they haven't been tossed out into the street already.

“If you can get the keys, the robot police dog has them.” Epsilon whispers lowly towards Shula.

“Stealing from a cop is a terr--”

“Epsilon.

Epsilon you will abide by my wishes. You silly fool, how are you going to help me in this prison? Very soon a seed will land on this island and begin to grow. Your first task is to find me this flower, my ornery little plaything. I will grant you one blessing, be it the walls around you, or the door of this cell.

I will leave you to your rotten choices until you find my poisonous plumage, don't disappoint me...”

“--really, the soldiers and the cops will be watching me like a hawk especially since you decided to talk to me directly as your only choice.... Epsilon are you even LISTENING TO ME?!”

“Keep your voice down. I'm sorry, I don't want to drag you all back into the wrong side of unfair laws, but I nee—Shula. You said they will be watching you intensely, right?”

“Yes, that is a small portion of what I said.” She seems annoyed.

“Use that. Wait a couple of hours, create a huge distraction, but don't break the law or at least get in trouble. Give me the moment I need, and I will be alright. I think.”

“How are you going to get off the island with us, the boat will be even more heavily guarded?”

“I can't leave. Don't worry about me, take care of each other.”

“Try not to die several more times.” She sighs and stares at him, concerned, about to say something else before she is interrupted by one of the police officers.

“Uh... Ma'am. Time's up, naw ah'm sorry bout dah. Gonna hafta go. Hope y’all talked good.” He gently leads Shula towards the door, Shula steps out with a stern gait. While she is stepping out, a plant like creature spins and nearly trips into the station, seeming very excited.

“Sir! Fang Tian here with the newspaper, I was wondering if you would like to share YOUR side of the story, nice to meet you!” He calms down near the cell, but seems so excited he might hyperventilate. The Police Chief and Soldier look at Fang and at each other, but the Chief becks and explains it's, “Just a reporter.”

Tell the little plant fellow about your grand adventures in the labyrinth and about how some of your friends ended up there as well. Make sure to be very descriptive about the gory parts.
Or you could just tell him to fuck off, which ever is more in character.

When you're done scaring the little guy you should go rest until Shula and the other arrive.

Tell him about how you're the impersonation of physical punishment, and you struck the evil Duke for his crimes and cruelty towards the people.

Add that these puny prison bars aren't gonna be able to hold you down. Just wait.

>>278748

(the word you are looking for is personification, I think)

Plant dude eh? that might be significant, given what spooky voice said. Lets start by seeing what HE has to say. And if you are giving your story, don't focus on the what, focus on the why. You had reasons for your actions, and even if you aren't the nicest dude in the world, they were good reasons.

punctuate your report with funny faces

OH YES THIS IS IT MY TICKET ONTO THE FRONT PAGE~!

C'mon roots take me over, my first interview with a real life murderer~! This'll show everyone, including that asshole~! Journalist~? More like journaLOCUST, the hack~!

This guy looks like a right killer, wonder if he's gonna talk~? Oh, I hope so, I need this story so much, it's not even funny~!

>>278740
Use the blessing on the walls. Create an alternate escape route. They'll be expecting you to try to escape through the cell door, after all. Uh, but do wait until the DISTACTION.

The reporter... well, go ahead and tell him your story, but mention how you weren't QUITE dead when the monster hit you; you just got knocked out and reflexively stealthed or something so nobody found you.

...also I wonder if Asali is this 'seed'?

Yank the pad of paper and pencil out of his hands through the bars, write it yourself, then throw it in his face. Then in no polite words tell him to get the fuck out. Or you'll request that your last meal be a bottle of salad dressing and a food processor.

Epsilon decides to cooperate with the journalist.

The monster is an extremely excitable and warm guy, and Epsilon does his best to explain the story, and how he used Stealth abilities to hide until he could make an escape. Even though he committed two murders on his way out, he believes it was justified, and the King's tyranny is complete injustice.

Fang writes and asks very few questions, possibly intimidated by Epsilon's stature and voice.

The soldier is watching the two of them carefully, and there is a soft crackle on the chief's radio and him and a couple of the cops are talking about something across the building.

Fang Tian: Is there anything else you'd like to know about Epsilon or his story?

1. Fang Tian's question(s).
2. Is there anything else Epsilon should do before the break out?
3. Shall we move to Shula for the Diversion, or shall we stay with Epsilon?

> Is there anything else Epsilon should do before the break out?

have you made a pass at the robot dog yet? otherwise nah

Well, does the murderer have anything special to say to the readers~? Perhaps a heartfelt plea that might very well lead to a petition which might, possibly, maybe lead to a pardon from the King~? Although, to be frank, the chances of that aren't exactly high, but it's the thought that counts~

But I digress, any closing words~?

[OOC: Good grief, no wonder Epsilon is in this situation, he has no planet landers and jack-all fuel capacity!]

Oh, hmmh, how did it feel to be trapped in the Labyrinth? Or when you finally got out?

And, um. Why did you throw away your freedom to murder the Duke?

1. I... can't think of anything.
2. If she's still here, hit on the robot girl. If not, nuthin.

Because the Duke was a corrupt despot who needed what came to him.

2. Make damn well sure that you don't have to pee, because this car isn't turning around.
3. Go with Shula, I have a feeling Epsilon will be alright.

Go with Shula.

Fang should ask what goals Epsilon had in life before he got caught. Any family? Hobbies? Ask why he got sent to the Labyrinth in the first place.

Epsilon should check out his cell to see if there's anything interesting in it. And possibly use Dark Sight again to see what's on the other side of his cell's wall.

Sure, let's go to Shula.

 

[almost forgot~]

See what Shula is up to and how the gang is going to cause a distraction. And then everyone have a dance party except Celst. She will just have to have a blind and crippled party. And Jack will have a dead party.

Nic can also party with Jack.

Fang Tian asks his final questions:
“Well, does the murderer have anything special to say to the readers? Perhaps a heartfelt plea that might very well lead to a petition which might, possibly, lead to a pardon from the King? Although, to be frank, the chances of that are slim to none—but it's the thought that counts!”
“Stand up for yourselves. Don't let anyone push you around, especially when they threaten your friends and family.”

“Oh, how did it feel to be trapped in the labyrinth?”
“Boring.”

“When you finally got out?”
Epsilon just grunts and shrugs in reply.

“Why did you throw your freedom away to murder the Duke?”
“He was a corrupt despot who needed what came to him.”

“Okay, thank you very much for talking to me, I'll be sure to make your story look amazing, I don't believe many of the townsfolk enjoyed the King's dominion over this small town. If he's backing out, know that everyone here secretly thanks you!”

“You really shouldn't,” Epsilon starts to say, but the hyper plant man is already running out, already daydreaming about tomorrow's hot headline.

Epsilon gets off of the prison bed, bored and wishing the distraction would happen already. The canine robot from his earlier vision walks by to give some folders to the Chief.

“Hey, baby. How would you like to come back in here, and I'll lube up your joints,” Epsilon, says smoothly.

She does not however, think it was as smooth. She scoffs, growls, and leaves the station.

Shula

Shula is in the tavern's room with Jasper and Celst, catching them up on the situation with Epsilon.

The room has about six small beds, and a couple large tables in between the beds. Besides the three of them, two other people are upstairs in the, “inn,” section above the Tavern. They are a lady skunk, and a busty green bubble held. The two are drinking together and talking quietly.

Shula needs to think of where, and what to do as for a distraction.

Key Locations:
Tavern, Police Station, Bank, General Store, Apartments, Casul's Fortune Telling. Riskier Possibilities, out of the General Town area, would be HONEST IKIT's, Marina, Graveyard, The Gardens leading towards the volcano.

So! cause a distraction but don't get in trouble huh?

How does the government feel about organized non-violent mass protest? Allowed?

Beatboxing competition

>>280980
Blow up the bank.

>>280980

Perhaps we could try calling in an anonymous bomb threat to the bank.

Non-violent protest would work great. So would any sort of suspicious loitering.

Also, how did Celst react?

>>The king sent soldiers to stop your peaceful protest, people were killed to try and stave the protest, it started a riot.
Shula ended up in the labyrinth as a result of a nonviolent protest so I'd advise against that idea.
>>281034
Seconding anonymous bomb threat idea.

Anonymous bomb thread sounds good, maybe also have Celst throw some lighting bubbles around without getting caught, to scare the folks in the bank and make the cops come faster.

>>281055
Shit, you're right. How about a barfight?

or a rock concert

Er... Just so you guys know, uh... I kind of ended up in the Labyrinth as a result of trying to cause a distraction at the bank.

Granted, I was sort of cover for a robbery itself, but it didn't turn out well. I have no clue whether the folks I did that for actually succeeded.

Shula and Celst could pose as a caretaker and a patient, causing a scene to be the primary diversion, while Jasper sneaks in behind to create a secondary diversion by doing whatever. Then we could have Celst use lightning bubble to mix things up even more.

What?.. Epsilon was alive this whole time.. But he died, didn't he? Or at least.. I smelled his blood.. I felt his presence disappear.. I really thought he was dead.. But.. Why didn't he come to see us and why is he still there, Shula?.. Jasper? Doesn't he want to see us..? Doesn't he want to see.. Me?... I wish I could stand.. I wish I could walk.. Because I really want to meet him again...

Go down stairs and speak to the green Bubble Touched and the Skunk, ask what they know about the area and then decide where the best place to create a distraction would be.

make a lot of candy and throw it off a roof

>>281377

Holy shit, this. This is the perfect plan. No risks, no danger, and it'll keep people distracted.

You could ask the green lady upstairs for help to make more candy. You don't even have to tell her that it's a distraction.

Shula begins to share a plan to scare the bank and cause a distraction. However in the middle of Shula's explanation, Jasper stands up, with a defiant, “No.”

Jasper was talked into helping some 'friends' try and pull a Bank Heist months ago. His job was to seduce attention. He did his job very well, however his enthusiasm was less appreciated once the policemen noticed he was not a woman. He was charged with prostitution despite not asking for money, and also charged with aiding a bank robbery.

“How about I toss a bunch of candy out and try to get attention through good will?” Jasper offers for his own plan. Shula however really wants to do the bank thing. It's around that time Celzt finally responds to the notion about Epsilon.

“Epsilon was alive this whole time, but I thought he died. Didn't he die? I smelled his blood, I felt him disappear. I really thought he was gone forever. Why didn't he come to see us, and why is he still there Shula and Jasper? Doesn't he want to see us? Doesn't he want to see me? I wish I could stand. I wish I could walk because I really want to meet him again.”

“Celst, he was arrested or I'm sure he would have. He wanted to know who died, I already gave you his messages for you. Once he gets out, you can talk to him before we leave on the boat, okay?” Shula tries to reassure her, and she nods.

Jasper gets up, and walks over to the Bubble Held and the Skunk drinking at the table. “Girls, we could use some help. I need help making candy, and messing with the bank to help our friend. Do you think you could help us?”

“Haha, Epsilon? Of course I'll help. I've actually known him a while. Nice to see the angry fellow has friends. Now I heard Bank, right?” The skunk says, Bubble Held just nods and drinks another shot.

“Yes, making candy, and scaring a bank were the ideas,” Jasper assures the skunk.

“Oh, I will help you make the best candy,” The Bubble Held laughs drunkenly.

The skunk laughs and puts her glass down, seeming giddy and excited, “I'll be damned if I don't help. I'm Chu, by the way. This is my dear, Mint. When are we pulling this shit?”

TEAM SELECT

Five people, two teams.

Jasper leads the Candy Distraction Team.

Shula leads the Bank Threatening Team.

Who goes where, it's time to help Epsilon break out.

>>281870
Everybody on candy distraction team! Getting thrown back into that hellhole would be counterproductive.

You can, however, combine these plans by going up on top of the bank and throwing tons of candy into the street. The police would have to respond to the throng of people, and they would be focused on people who are not you.

Mint goes with Candy Team, obv. And so does Celst, she's not in shape for bank shenanigans.

Chu goes with Bank Team, because she loves the idea.

And bank team, don't take too many risks, if you get caught and thrown into the labyrinth again I will be mad >:(

Celst and Jasper on the candy team. They must make candy rain from the heavens. Pretty much everyone else is better suited for infiltration.

>>281895
Labyrinth is decommissioned now, remember? King has a hissy fit when someone SURVIVED his pet deathtrap.

Remember this plan will only succeed if jasper crosdresses again, have mint lend him an outfit.

>>281905
I... H-hey! I don't think that's, um... that's needed...

...but I guess if you say I have to... I dunno whether that makes me better at making or throwing candy though.

>>281906
Always one to dress up for "Special Occasions" huh, Jasper?..

>>281907
I-it wasn't my idea, Celzt! It's not like I, um... go out of my way to, uh... yeah.

AAAAAAAH HOW CAN I COVER TWO EVENTS AT ONE TIME?!
This is terrible~!

[Celst, Jasper, Mint on team candy, Shula and Chu on team bank]

>>281922
That seems about right.

NOTE: SHULA SHOULD NOT THREATEN THE BANK VIA ANY TRACEABLE METHOD! Do not get caught.

But have Mint make and give some candy to Shula and Chu so they can "preoccupy" the people at the bank.

Shula and Chu sit down together to discuss ways to distract and freak out the bank with a likely phone call and/or using the candy strategy to further the plan.

Jasper, Mint, and Celzt gather some materials together to make some candy.

Epsilon presses up against the wall, waiting for his moment. He lets time just roll past him in his anticipation for freedom.

What kind of candy should Jasper have made? Hard Candy, Soft Candy, Gummies, Licorice are some basic choices. It's important to make it appealing, but it wouldn't be advisable to make it too complicated since you have to make a lot.

The town consists of six major buildings and each is known for having at least one guard at the entrance right now.

Shula and Chu's plan centers around the bank, but finding a phone shouldn't prove too difficult.

The Candy Gang needs to figure out where to set up shop, and how exactly they are going to garner a lot of attention with these candies they are making.

Starting at the Marina on top and going clockwise: The Corner Store, The Apartment Complex, The Psychic and Newspaper Office, The Bank, The Tavern, and lastly the Police Station.

>>283089
A mixture of hard and soft candies, as long as they're wrapped. People are more likely to eat things they pick up off the ground if they're wrapped.

Actually, make them all filled with different kinds of alcohol if you can.

 

>>283089
Well I'd recommended setting up the candy gang near the dock, since that will keep them facing away from both of our targets [the station and bank], I'd say you should hand out free samples of this new fantastic candy you are developing... as for what candy... welllllll

Do a bit of everything, make sure it's wrapped. Soft and hard candy, and maybe chocolate because fuck yeah chocolate.

About the plan... yeah, attracting people to the Marina would keep them clear from the Police Station. Mint should be the one handing out the candies, she's more likely to attract the crowds. Hmmm, Jasper too, if he dresses up again like during the bank heist~

Now, Bank Gang...Ask someone to lend you a cell phone to make a call (it shouldn't be a problem for a couple of pretty ladies).

Shula: Call the police, say that you've seen a guy with a rifle sniping the bank doors from one of the windows of the Apartment Building. That should make a fuss away from the jail, and wouldn't involve you. Also it would give you plenty of time while they check the apartments.

Oh, if you think they won't believe you => Get a different phone, Chu calls from it and repeats the story of the sniper. They'll have to send people to investigate.
