Writing Update + Sneak peek
Added 2024-02-21 19:20:00 +0000 UTCCH5 is chugging along. Earlier in the week I completed what I’ve been calling the front part of the chapter, the continuation of the mission that CH4 ended off on. Lots of different options for dealing with it, and the aftermath.
Beginning to delve into the meat of the rest of the chapter and having a blast so far. Plots are thickening and it’s high time Paradigm had to start doing some real work to keep all those plates spinning…
Stay awesome!
And how about a little sneak preview? Here's one of several ways the start of the mission can shake out...
"Heroes!" Fracture snarls. "Get out here!" He punctuates the challenge by absolutely demolishing a poor innocent mailbox with his hooked arm. Actually you're a little surprised that there was actually an intact mailbox in the Parks. Must have been involved in some shady dealings.
A pregnant pause, and then the door to the heroes' base bursts open below you, disgorging three figures. The first, a short man in green fatigues and a ski mask, strides to the front, brandishing a cumbersome-looking weapon that's half sword and half bat. Ranger, you presume. The other two wear matching costumes, sports style armour and knee and elbow pads in white. One has a red bullseye stencilled on their chest, the other a crosshair. You identify Hit easily enough: he's the one with the slingshot.
"Villain! To what foul ends do you darken our doorstep?"
Oh.
Oh wow.
Ranger talks like a Saturday morning cartoon's idea of a superhero.
Fracture faces the trio down impassively. "Beating the shit out of you."
Out of the corner of your eye you catch a glimpse of Rampage lurking at the side of the building, poised to charge into the action.
