- >Be Norman
- >Lightning and thunder as silence overwhelms the ground floor of the abandoned apartment
- >"What do you mean, ending this?" Lyra asks
- >"The pub's only a few steps away from this place. If it has Applehat's fruits, maybe the pub has all the other stolen produce"
- >"Brad nearly got shot if it wasn't for me. You still want to do this?"
- >Brad butts in and puts his arms on both of us
- >"HEY, if Norman's in, I'm in. What about you?"
- >"Sigh"
- >Lyra readies her bow and proceeds to go upstairs
- >"I'm coming just to make sure you don't lose it. I'll go get my arrows"
- >You and Brad walk out in the rain
- >"Wow, I never thought Lyra would have been a baddass superhero. We could form a team of vigilantes!" Brad said
- >"Brad, she's interested only for the ring's survival, not heroism"
- >As you and Brad reach the pub's front door, a security guard stops both of you in your path
- >"ID, please" he says
- >"We don't need IDs. WE'RE BADASSES!" Brad proudly announced
- >Palm-to-face action intensifies as you whisper to Brad to "shut the fuck up"
- >The guard chuckles as he says "No minors pal. Best move along"
- >"Dude, just punch this guy already" Brad whispered to you
- >"He's not a criminal. He's just doing his job" you whispered back
- >"Sorry, we'll just move along"
- >You and Brad walked along the sidewalk
- >"What, we just give up at that?"
- >"No, we do as the romans do; Find another entrance"
- >You both run as far away from the man's sight. Luckily, the storm and the fog covers you both from a short distance
- >"Come one, there's probably a back door by this chain fence"
- >"Great, more climbing"
- >Ending up on the other side, you investigate
- >You hear footsteps aboot. Muddy from the rain
- >"Hey Norman, I found a sweet pa-
- >"SHH"
- >The footsteps stop, and proceeded to walk torwards us
- >"Who's there?" said the stranger
- >Step by step, he comes closer by the second
- >Brad rushes in and pounds the guy with a frying pan
- >"BRAD WHAT THE FUCK?"
- >"What? He's down."
- >You decide to pickpocket the unconscious man in search for keys
- >"All right, we got a bunch of keys and a switchblade knife"
- >You both enter the backdoor. It's separated by two hallways
- >"Should we stick or split?"
- >"We should split. We meet back here in 1 minute. Remember, we're looking for a huge freezer or something"
- Split Segment, 4:06-4:07
- Be Brad
- >Time for stealth mode
- >Sneaking up and down, mimicking the way of the ninja
- >Armed with a frying pan, you make your way to the bathroom
- >Aww man, you really needed to piss anyway. Your bladder can only handle so much excitement for a few hours
- >As you take a leak, some guy enters the restroom, looking drunk
- >He looks at you, you look at him, you're still pissing
- >[staring intensifies]
- >You're really looking at a drunk bum while you're pissing
- >He comes closer, you just keep staring, still leaking
- >"Whoa, bro, what's with the outfit?"
- >Out of sheer panic you bashed his head with a frying pan
- >He lies on the ground as you tuck your member in
- >"Holy shit, what the hell did I do?"
- >You grabbed his body and proceeded to drag him onto the toilet, making him sit on it
- >You check his pulse to see if he's alive. He snores. Thank god.
- >As you walk out, another man enters the mens room
- >"Shit" you say as you hammer another with the frying pan
- >"Crap, not again"
- Split Segment, 4:06-4:07
- Be Norman
- >Sneaking through the place like a rat
- >Hiding by the shelves, hiding by the cabinets
- >You check every room you pass while avoiding employees
- >You go by the corner, where you see the main room of the pub, drunkards getting drunk bartenders doing drinks
- >You see by the window Lyra, questioning the entrance guard
- >Probably asking if two weirdoes came this way
- >Continue searching the back premises
- >Climbing down the basement, you see a huge metal door
- >A vault, you presume.
- >You managed to open the vault. Lo and behold, a shitload of farm produce frozen to the core
- >The guy was telling the truth. The pub really is in cahoots with the east side lemons
- Split Segment, 4:06-4:07
- Be Lyra
- >I can't believe Norman's risking his life for a bunch of apples
- >sigh
- >Alright, where was he heading? Cider Pub?
- >You arrive by the entrance to meet the guard
- >"Hey Mister, have you seen two guys dressed like idiots?"
- >"Yeah little girl. They tried getting in without IDs. You're not thinking of doing the same, are you?"
- >"No" You said, catching a glimpse of Norman's head by the window
- >Looks like you're gonna have to go in. You pause time at the expense of getting a raging headache, followed by a nosebleed
- >30 seconds in. You stood up from the bleeding nose and aching head to go inside undetected
- >The beauty of still rain leaves your jacket as you walk to look around
- >Time moves on as you reach the doors near the restroom
- >*CLANK*
- >Sounds like from the men's room
- Be Brad
- >Dragging 2nd body to the 1st guy's stall
- >SHIT THIS IS HEAVY
- >You throw the second body in, and now it looks like he's giving the first guy head
- >laughinghighschoolerwithbradhair.jpg
- >Alright, time to scoot
- >You open the door to meet Lyra with a confused look on her face
- >"LYRA! Jesus, you nearly made me pan you"
- >Lyra looks down to see the bloody pan
- >"You know what, I'm not even gonna ask" she said
- >"How'd you get in here?"
- >"Nevermind that, Brad. Where's Norman?
- >"He's at the other hallway"
- >Before they could move, three guards walk by the hallway
- >"Hey, didn't I throw you out? "
- >You look at the guy. 7 ft tall with those viciously large muscles
- >Oh my god, he's not even flexing
- >"U-uhh, we're just looking for our other friend" Lyra said
- >"We're also here to BRING JUSTICE TO FRUIT STEALERS!" you yelled
- >You took the chance to bash the 7 foot guy in the head, but your reach just hits his chest
- >His chest was like concrete. The handle of the pan broke and the metal pan ricochets to your head
- >You fade onto unconsciousness from your idiocy
- >Lyra just raises her hands as a sign that she will do no harm
- >"This guy knows about the food" one of the three guards said
- >"Take em' both to the boss upstairs" the large man said
- >"Crap" Lyra said
- Be Norman
- >Alright, how the heck am I gonna smuggle the whole room full of frozen produce out of the building?
- >Call the cops? Nah. They'd just get turned down because they don't have a search warrant or something
- >Gotta talk to Brad about this
- >You turn around to find three guys already climbing down the stairs
- >"That must be the other guy! Get him!"
- >Damn, Brad must have been found out
- >One guy rushes to tackle you. You dodge right out of the way, and he lands inside the vault room
- >You take a box of frozen goods and smashed it right over his head
- >"Hope he doesn't die from that" you tell yourself
- >Two others rush in. They're unarmed
- >Perfect. They probably underestimated us.
- >One guy swings his arm for a punch. You grab his arm and threw it right at the other
- >One guy down, one to go. Second guy stands up, seemingly stunned
- >He's gonna try to grab you with his arms wide open
- >You duck just in time and jumped high enough to do a double foot kick
- >The thug was stunned
- >"Rainbro was right. Leg day IS important"
- >You finish the guy off with an average stomach punch
- >"Alright, time to find Brad"
- >You rush upstairs and head outside the back door to avoid more guards
- >You climb up from outside using the pipes
- >Slipping and falling thanks to the storm
- >You grab the side ledges and shimmied through the building, looking through the windows to see if Brad's there
- >Final window. You poke your head up to see through. You see two guys, twins maybe, in barber's vests smoking a pipe.
- >"Well dear brother, I say. Hiring those guys was definitely cheaper than buying from the bloody market
- >"Indeed, dear brother"
- >The door opens. Three guys come in. The one in the middle goes to the two brothers to tell them of the situation
- >"Boss, we found these two snooping around. One of them knows something about the stuff"
- >"The stuff?" One of the brothers repeated
- >"Yeah boss" he winks. "That stuff"
- >"...bring them in"
- >Good god it's cold out here
- >You see Brad out cold, as well as Lyra, bloodied from the nose
- >"Now,... what were you two thinking, poking around in my pub" the brother said while spinning his cane
- >Another guard brings a bucket of water and splashes it on Brad
- >"GUAAAAH" yelled Brad
- >Brad shakes his head from the cold, slowly catching his senses
- >"I'll repeat again, WHY WERE YOU TOO POKING AROUND IN MAH ESTAB-A-LISH-U-MENT?"
- >"We're here for the stolen food, and we will bring justice to this pub!" Brad bravely said
- >The whole room is filled with laughter as Brad smirks
- >"Do you seriously believe you can just go in here and act like a superhero?"
- >The brother move closer as the other unmasks Brad's terrible mask
- >"There's a system here, pal. This isn't something you kids could just get away with"
- >"You're ruining peoples' lives. This is their hard work and you can't just take it away from them"
- >The two brothers twirl their canes
- >"There's an old saying, that everything is legal, so long as no one knows. You have no idea who you're dealing with"
- >"The Flim Flam Brothers" Lyra suddenly said. "You're one of the more prestigeous businessmen under bars and pubs"
- >"Ahh, at least someone here dresses and speaks sense"
- >"You guys have some decent lawyers, so whether it be a legal battle, you'd get off with your hands clean"
- >"Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!"
- >Having heard enough, you climb through the other window to enter with a tactical advantage
- >Brad tries to struggle free, but is discouraged silently by Lyra
- >"So, dear brother. How do we deal with these kids?"
- >"I say we just leave them blindfolded outside the city"
- >"Not if I can help it" you say as you open the window
- >"What the devil?"
- >You enter the room all wet to deliver a flying kick to one of the brothers
- >As you kick him, Lyra kicks the kneecaps of her escort and tries to strangle him with her bow-harp
- >Brad bites his captor's hand and manages to escape it's grasp
- >One brother down, now for the ot-OOF
- >The other brother hits you with his cane with such speed
- >5 hits from the cane to the face in less than 2 seconds
- >You're stunned, vision is spinning
- >The brother on the ground crawls to the desk and pushes a button
- >"You've made a big mistake, kid"
- >The doors open as if a wall walked and tackled it
- >Everyone who's conscious in the room looked at the man.
- >7 foot tall, large muscles, hard white teeth
- >"You're in for it now" says the brother
- >The giant snorts, you just stand there, nearly pissing yourself
- >He then tried to punch Brad but he manages to dodge it, causing the giant to punch the guard next to Brad
- >The guard took the punch and flew all the way to the window
- >Taking opportunity, you try to punch the man on the knee
- >He sees you rushing in
- >He rushes in too, delivering a jab to your stomach
- >Blood spits from your mouth as he grabs your costume by the chest
- >He raises you in the air
- >Fuck, he's big
- >With the power of the ring, you kick his elbow, breaking it
- >He lets you go, screaming in rage
- >He grabs you with his other hand
- >"LET'S TAKE THIS OUTSIDE"
- >He rams himself through the window and you both fall all the way to the back door
- >His body is slammed through yours, being the one on top
- >You kick his body to push him off you
- >Heart rate rises, fist is flashing
- >"NORMAN!" Lyra yelled from the 2nd floor
- >You take a stand, wiping the rain and blood from your eyes
- >The large man stands as well, preparing a battle stance.
- >You both stare into each other, with fierce intensity
- >"So, we doing this or not?"
- >The man snorts for the last time, yelling
- >[spoiler]YEEEAAAAAAAAAH[/spoiler]
