If the face of “Dr. Pierce” looks familiar to you, then it means you spent the 90’s watching a funny sitcom. What will Scapula find in that foreboding lair? Is that tension fear of the cult…or from Hypnausea’s flirty come-ons? We’ll find out!

Ahhhhhh another architectural wonder, courtesy of Ivo Shandor.
At least it wasn’t designed by Howard Roarke; Scap, as a known ‘Looter’, wouldn’t be allowed in the building.
Lucky, yes. That’s what you call a suspiciously convenient dead body right before a super secret cult meeting that had the formerly living scared. I’m halfway convinced Hypnausea’s a member now…… then I remember the famous words of Groucho Marx: “I’d never be a member of any club that would have me as a member!”
Now, if I were Scapula I’d be toting one thing: a diving knife. You can get some now that are extremely concealable, and are made of non-metallic substances, as well as being very very thin. This makes them hell to find in a pat down and immune to metal detectors and some low quality x-rays. Alternatively there are some pistols (and one SMG, now that I think about it) which are either collapsable and easily hidden in something more readily explained (such as a laptop chasis or book), or dismantle into several inconspicuous items. Not ideal but easy to sneak in and better than nothing in a pinch. Or a personal favorite…… bring a book and use a razor sharp letter opener as a bookmark. Lots of ways to make sure you’re ready for action! And that isn’t even discussing the possibility of improvised weapons.
……… do I think about this stuff too much?
(pauses in his note-taking)
Oh, no! Not at all! Please continue!
The other thing Hypnausea has in common with Groucho is they can both do the silly ‘leg swing’ dance (which, try as I might and several injuries later, cannot perform).
What weapons does Scap carry, or what could he find inside that building? Perhaps a short trip to the restroom and he’ll be armed with a makeshift toilet paper-bola!
I really like the way you think about this too much. You’re practical, tactical. prepared. Very realistic.
I actually happen to have a knife similar to a diving knife. It’s a little, hard plastic thing. Completely disposable, sharpens easily and will do the job at hand in a pinch. I’ve had a few over the years. I have walked away from some bad stuff because I had a couple hidden on me.
I hope Maris won’t be there tonight. One does so hate to cause a scene…
For all we know she’s in charge of the Kabale, along with Lilith and Phoebe!
Scap so ornery. And with Hyp slaving all day over a hot stove for him too!
Wait, that’s not a stove. :>
Hypnausea does a lot of cooking, but it’s mostly from the ‘Owsley Stanley’ recipe book.
Honestly Scap, would it kill you to show a little appreciation now and again? *tsk* Really, a simple “thank you” could mean the difference between a gang and an uprising. Honestly, you’re a horror movie aficionado, how many times have you seen the trope where the poor, under-appreciated minions finally gets sick of the main villain’s dookie and just stage a coup? Silly villain.
The whole Halloween Gang organization is in desperate need of a company picnic or something positive like that (then again, Lord knows what chaos would ensue with those guys).
Is Scapula going too far with his bad attitude, folks, or is it all part of being a feared leader?
i realllllly dont think that suicide was a suicide…..
Who can say? Perhaps we’ll learn the truth later (unless it involved autoerotic asphyxiation, in which case we should just let this one go).
I think Hypnausea has better costumes than Roger from “Family Guy”. 🙂
Eeeeeeeeeyeah….I stopped watching ‘Family Guy’ back in 2002. Which character is Roger again?
Gak! The contacts, the contacts quick!! This is a magnificent page, Aidan! Super job on the architecture!
