| Triangle and Robert #631 | There's no sign of the plane anywhere.
/ Uh... the ruined city... / You mean that's important?
/ It's an ancient city in the middle of the Asymptotic Ocean. Doesn't that sound important?
/ Well, when you put it that way, I guess not. / Great. Cube's last hope is a giant antidepressant capsule.
/ It could... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?631 |
| Triangle and Robert #632 | Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear! / Ow! You're... pointy. Good... / night... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?632 |
| Triangle and Robert #633 | Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear! Where am I? / You're in a confinment square. Don't move around too much. / I feel sleepy. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?633 |
| Triangle and Robert #634 | This is the lost city of Tetris.
/ Tetris? You mean like the video game? / The game was loosely based on the legend. The Tetreans were said to have built their vast city of prefabricated cubes, until the cubes were packed so densely into rows that the city sank under its own weight and vanished from... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?634 |
| Triangle and Robert #635 | Do you know where my friend Mr. Soap went? / Was he on the plane?
/ No, I brought him with me here, but when we went underwater he turned all foamy and disappeared. / I see. Can you describe your friend to me?
/ Well, he's little, and oblong, and has the word "SOAP" on him, and he didn't talk or move... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?635 |
| Triangle and Robert #636 | I think you'll find that your "friend" was a bar of soap.
/ So? / Soap dissolves in water.
/ Then how do I make him un-dissolve? / Hm. Let's concentrate on escaping first. I think if we could get a bit of three-dimensional motion going, we could get out of these squares. Try vibrating.
/ That sounds ... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?636 |
| Triangle and Robert #637 | So far so good... I'll need to move more than this to get around the square though. / Just a little more... Prozac, how are you doing? / Hi! I'm Prozac the Bear!
/ Me too! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?637 |
| Triangle and Robert #638 | Uh, how can you be in two places at once?
/ Oh, we're not
/ anywhere at all. / What?
/ What? / Can you help me get out now?
/ What? I'm Prozac the Bear! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?638 |
| Triangle and Robert #639 | I think you can get my square open from the outside. Try pressing on the corners. / Yay! / Now if we can stay away from the automata, we might be able to bust everyone out of here.
/ Are the automata the pointy things?
/ Yes, the automata are the pointy things. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?639 |
| Triangle and Robert #640 | I'm having trouble fitting the Tetreans into my archaeological timeline. My best guess is that they're early polygons whose development was dramatically advanced by surviving Fourth Race technology. / I'm Prozac the Bear!
/ Right. Rescue now, archaeology later. If there were just a few items of scenery,... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?640 |
| Triangle and Robert #641 | Where are you going? A bunch of people need to be happy! / He must be going to free the other passengers. I might as well tag along. Once we're all free, though, we still have to get out of here... / Meanwhile, a submarine circles...
/ You know, if I can't get the left turn signal to stop blinking in... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?641 |
| Triangle and Robert #642 | Look out!
/ Huh? Whoa. / So you finally showed up. Where were you when I got captured in the first place? / You had to come here. I think you've already started to understand what the peppermill means... if I just came right out and told you, that wouldn't be archaeology, and it wouldn't mean as much.
/ Whoops!... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?642 |
| Triangle and Robert #643 | < http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?643 |
| Triangle and Robert #644 | Hey! It's Prozac the Bear!
/ He must be here to rescue us! / Yeah! Or... maybe... to... perform... a really terrible juggling act.
/ Insanely bad. / I hope that cheered you up! Bye bye, happy people!
/ Should we...
/ I don't think he'd hear us. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?644 |
| Triangle and Robert #645 | Can anyone hear us?
/ Help!
/ I can hear you! I'll be right there! / See? The map helped!
/ Fine. / Can you hear me in there? How can I get you out?
/ Not by juggling. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?645 |
| Triangle and Robert #646 | When do the automata patrol by here? Is there a regular pattern?
/ Automata?
/ The pointy things. / Why do you call them automata?
/ He must know something we don't. / Yes, well... yes. That peppermill I was playing with drew the attention of Tetris's defenses. The actual inhabitants of the city are long... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?646 |
| Triangle and Robert #647 | It all goes back to the Fourth Race. Some of you might have read about my research and its conclusions. / It's hard to believe, but I believe it. If the Cartoonist is possible, anything is.
/ Well then, you know that the Fourth Race weren't polygons. That peppermill I had on the plane was a relic of... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?647 |
| Triangle and Robert #648 | Uh oh. What does the shading mean? / I've deactivated the automata for a bit so you can finish the peppermill exposition.
/ And then what? / You should be able to escape without any additional help. Just tell the story.
/ Hmm... no. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?648 |
| Triangle and Robert #649 | Last time I advanced the plot for you, I ended up dead. Right now, I'm the only one who gets the whole point of the peppermill. / That means you'll keep me alive. If I give the exposition you want me to give, I'm useless to you.
/ It's not like I killed you on purpose! / That doesn't make me any more... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?649 |
| Triangle and Robert #650 | I guess I have to negotiate.
/ Don't bother. I don't need anything from you. / Only the automata can open the confinement square, and they're deactivated until I say otherwise.
/ I don't need to open the square to free the passengers. / Oh. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?650 |
| Triangle and Robert #651 | Robert, jiggle the running light controls a little to get the turn signal to turn off.
/ Aye-aye. / Cube'll be fine, I think.
/ Aye-aye! / Aye-aye?
/ Small primitive nocturnal forest-dwelling primate of northern Madagascar that has a round head, large eyes and ears, and long thin fingers! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?651 |
| Triangle and Robert #652 | You were right. Cube can take care of himself. By now he's probably freed everyone and is working on fixing the Tetrean teleportation pad. / Does that mean the plot's going back to me now?
/ Yeah. Mr Disease should be conscious soon. / What about the peppermill?
/ Cube will eventually publish his research.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?652 |
| Triangle and Robert #653 | He's coming around folks! He'll be okay and ready to
/ ... / ...
/ Oh no, he thinks he's Duke Togo! / I have no idea why I just said that. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?653 |
| Triangle and Robert #654 | How... how long has it been? Have the other Sentries been found?
/ Not long. No. / Nnnn.... news! I need... ...news!
/ I'll go get some papers and the past strips. / Hurry back. I may need wiping. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?654 |
| Triangle and Robert #655 | Do not forget, Orpuddex knows much and reveals little. Chance brought him to Tetris, but he has plans. / I can provide my OWN mood narration, thank you very much.
/ You have your job, I have mine. / Having slipped out of the group confinement square well before Cube's rescue of the passengers, Orpuddex... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?655 |
| Triangle and Robert #656 | I swiftly make my way to the central control system of the vast geopudding pumps which still power the forgotten metropolis of Tetris. / But upon reaching the main console, Orpuddex is dismayed.
/ No. ME. MY narration. You just draw.
/ If there's narration to be done, I'm doing it. / You allowed the... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?656 |
| Triangle and Robert #657 | Orpuddex and I have reached a compromise. He'll recap what he did in Tetris when he's done, and until then I'll point the strip at something else. Um.... / Let's check on what the Food Pyramid is doing!
/ ... a few satchel charges here.... / timer to 12 minutes... there we go. Not even Trapezoidal Agent... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?657 |
| Triangle and Robert #658 | ... so the RDCLBA sent the new guy. I've been hoping to check out this "Pyramid"... / What was that?... The roof! I heard you up there... 59 I presume? It doesn't matter. This tomb is getting sealed no matter what the ICI wants. / So I was expected. That should make this more interesting. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?658 |
| Triangle and Robert #659 | Come back and fight!
/ No. You can't defuse all the charges in ten minutes. / I'll stay at a safe distance and watch. I'd advise you for your own sake to do the same. / Thank goodness. I was worried I'd cornered myself into a fight scene.
/ (The Cartoonist? Here?) What are you doing here? This isn't... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?659 |
| Triangle and Robert #660 | What am I doing here? I'm saving your scrawny apex, that's what.
/ How? / Um... actually I didn't mean to type that. I'm here because you'll be back in the main story soon.
/ Which branch? / Most of them. I think you're next in line to touch what's left of the Starham.
/ Would letting me know what the... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?660 |
