12-01 - I love the sound of breaking glass

Lets face facts. Breaking the stained glass window was a bigger distraction than any fire alarm could have been for these nutters.  :mwaha

I like Keaton's creative interpretation.

12-02 - Keaton is, well, being Keaton

To be fair to Keaton, "Move or die" doesn't need to be spelled out to be made clear.

Why do zealots always think their chosen religious icon will protect them from 'human' threats? The jackass verger deserves to lose his head for such hubris.

I know. It is like taunting a Wizard that a magic barrier will stop all their spells, only for the last thing they ever see is the wrong end of a Glock. ...or at the very least getting their head smashed in by the Wizard's Staff.

12-03 - What happens when you kill your own guild hires

The fox headsman is about to meet his end. That just leaves the difficult part of going after the woman who ordered Roger's death.

And as usual, Mary's enjoying herself while everyone else is somber.

12-04 - Headless in Seattle

And of course, Commander Foster gets the messiest part of the job: sending his commiserations to Roger's widow.

For some reason, I imagine the sound of Luke Skywalker's landspeeder when Josh's wings are in use.

I imagine it's a high-pitched whine. Which might be another reason he can't keep it running for long.

So, the landspeeder on helium, then? :mowtongue

12-06 - Fun fact: motorcycle leathers are sometimes made from kangaroo

"For kangaroo, by kangaroo, from kangaroo." ~someone who has watched LPs of Undertale.  :mwaha

Probably for the best that this receptionist never goes there. Considering how Josh was treated, they might have never left alive if they did.

I get the impression that there is a huge cutoff in communication with the outside world from there and quite a large missing person list because of that place.

Maybe I should look into one of those Let's Plays sometime- maybe the one by Jacksepticeye...

Anyway, I wonder if Tim is able to greet his paymasters openly (obviously leaving his bike outside the town limits) or if he has to sneak in the backdoor to get his money. (Not that kind of backdoor- get your heads out of the gutter)

He's more a technician than a receptionist.

If they saw him carrying a laptop it would be bad news. But if he just walks up in racing leathers, they probably don't care.  It's implants and other high-tech they're worried about more than clothes.

12-07 - They do actually have a good reason to ask that

"Look, just because I'm into leather, bikes and loud music doesn't mean I'm gay."

You've got good taste.
