SELF ESTEEM!
Oh, For me and my friend Apple Head, who keeps getting beat up by the orphans.

You tell the old man about orphans running around beating up a man with an apple for a head.
The old man looks concerned, “Oh, none of my orphans would ever do something like that. Are you sure it’s not dirty homeless vagrants?”

The man in the doorway shuffles his feet. “Who’s this? Ah, no matter. Join us in the living room, won’t you?”

You walk into the room you peeped into only minutes ago. You come to face to face with a burly businessman, who offers you a handshake.
“Always have time for one of my citizens. I’m Mr. Bronx, American Administrator and owner of Mr. Bronx’s Orphan Party. I apologize for the current state this orphanage is in.”
Mr. Bronx stretches his suspenders.
“I promise things will be different once I’m in charge. What’s your career, citizen?”

>>41159472
Apple bobbing

>>41159472
Vengeance.

>>41159472
Clearly vengeance... but you've got a forced hobby of being a gladiator or something now? You aren't really sure.

You’ve only ever gone apple bobbing once, on a warm Texas morning. You did poorly, breaking your leg climbing out of the bucket.

>>41159849
“Vengeance... and gladiatorial combat. I’m in the Neu-Moskau Skullbash,” you say.
“You’re not a citizen?” he asks with the same smile.
“No, sir.”
“Do you even have a sponsor?”
“Um, no.”
Mr. Bronx yanks his hand back, seemingly in pain.. He wraps his hand in a moist towel and smashes it into the wall. “A warning would have been appreciated,” Bronx says through gritted teeth.
You think that this is not a nice man.

>>41160025
Can I have a flashback of you breaking your leg while everyone laughs at you?

>>41160025
Okay, let's just all calm down here.

You try to calm yourself by reminiscing about the past. It only serves to embarrass you.

Mr. Bronx turns back to Uncle, “Now, Knockoffs aside, let's get down to business,”
“Let me introduce you to the CEO of Mr. Bronx’s Orphan Party, Commando Destructo.”
Commando Destructo? Does that name mean anything to you?

>>41160380

Porno? Doesn’t really ring a bell. Maybe you’re just paranoid… unless he was your GRADE SCHOOL DRAMA TEACHER.

Could he really be it?

>>41160570
Probably not.

>>41160570
He really DESTRUCTOED your dreams! hehehehheheheheh

Sick! You burn yourself.

>>41160686
You actually built that yourself after losing a significant portion of your lower body in the grade school performance of Romeo and Juliet. You mean, you're not boasting, it was a kiddie's robo-leg set.

Commando Destructo was the director of the grade-school performance of Romeo and Juliet that destroyed your life.
“Go ahead, Destructo, say the company tagline,” says Mr. Bronx.
“Mr. Bronx’s Orphan Party,” says Destructo through gritted teeth, “where everyday’s a party, unless you’re not an orphan.”

Your SOCIAL ANXIETY has waned completely, restoring your CONFIDENCE in the chance that it really is the director that ruined your life.

You're still not sure if it's him, but the screaming tips you off. Should you confront him or play it safe in your introduction to him?

>>41160887
IM GOING TO DESTRUCTO YOUR SPINE! kick him in the spine with robo leg

>>41160887
Play it safe, not playing it safe might be considerably less safe, possibly.

>>41160887
"YOU RUINED MY LIFE!"
ACTIVATE COMBAT-MODE ROBO-LEGS! TACTICAL BALL-KICK ACTIVATE!

>>41160887
Don't get aggressive with him. We aren't in any position to do something productive with our anger.

You throw your foot out at Destructo. He grasps it.
"You're not the only Skullbasher in the room," he spits.

>>41161362
You regret your actions.

You're convinced that he cannot close his mouth.

"People, please, no need for that! We're about to close a business deal," says Mr. Bronx.
“I’m not selling this orphanage, Mr. Bronx, no matter you offer,” says Uncle, turning his back on the buyers.
“Three million Neu-Moskau Dollars,” says Mr. Bronx.
Uncle pauses. “You have a very good point, Mr. Bronx.”
“Now, just sign here and it’ll all be over.”

You feel like you might have to stop Mr. Bronx from expanding Mr. Bronx's Orphan Party.

>>41161387
Nah its all good

>>41161387
Wait, they should consider how this affects the children. What does his company offer them that the current orphanage can't?

>>41161387
Try to buy the orphanage for yourself

>>41161387
Eat the contract.

You offer to buy the orphanage with... no money.

>>41161446
You ask Mr. Bronx what he thinks about the children.
"AMERICA," he bellows to the air.

>>41161490
Unhygienic!

A figure slams a door open, leaving a dent in the rotting wood. “Not so fast!” yells the figure. He pushes his sunglasses up.
"Why do all of you think you're doing, when most of you should be no-ing!?" he yells.

“I’m Slick, purveyor of justice and guardian of the law.”
There’s a silence.
“Lawyer,” he clarifies.
Everyone ooo’s in response.
Slick briskly shakes Mr. Bronx’s and Destructo’s hands. “Important Fella and Sergeant Violence, I’m gonna have to ask you to get off my client.”
He crouches down in front of Uncle and playfully punches him in the arm. “And you, Orphan Man, just what are you doing? Signing any legal document without your lawyer present is just asking to get shot in the face with a fistful of hate.”
Uncle looks at Slick, smiles, pats his shoulder and finally says, “Who are you?” in the most old man voice possible.

Check out Wacky Tacky - shit, now you’re rhyming! You struggle to fight the puns... at least, you think you should.

>>41161638
Claim that the figure has a bad FIGURE! hehehehehe

GASP. The next Skullbasher to face!

The old man waits for an answer,
Slick blinks with the same face, processing the situation.
“What?” he asks.
“Have I met you before?”
“Not important. Ok, Orphan Man, is this what you want your orphanage to become? An orphanage with plans of genophage?”
Slick points to you. “Tell Orphan Man what you think of the situation! Let him know that rushing into this without me, Slick, purveyor of justice, is gonna lead to my- his financial ruin.”

>>41162698
Yes, rushing into this would be a terrible idea.

"Rushing into this would be an average idea," you tell him.
“Kid, I like you. Sunhat Sweet-Face on a journey, I’m Slick, defense attorney. Came to Germany for the Germans like me, eh?” He hands you a business card.
“You’ve already told me that. You’re German?”
“Honey, I rhyme on the fly and nothing else jingle-jangled with journey, okay? And yeah, couldn’t you tell?”

He has a really heavy New York accent.

Slick looks back to Mr. Bronx. "Now, Mr. Hoo-man Boozebro, you gotta bust."
Mr. Bronx visibly tenses up.

Should you stop Slick from inadvertently getting the shit kicked out of him?

>>41163122
No, in fact help kick the shit out of him.

>>41163122
Yes? Maybe? Contemplate this for a moment.

While you think, Mr. Bronx makes a move.

“Well, Uncle,” Mr Bronx says, stroking his chin, “I have a 3:30 appointment, so I’m afraid I’ll have to get back to you on owning this orphanage…”

Mr. Bronx squats down and launches himself out of a nearby window. Destructo rushes out of the garage, scaring Kolya.

You hear a skid of tires, a thud, then followed by a familiar “AUGH.”

Slick beams with a smile. "Hey, sounds like a client! Join me on my foray, sweet-cheeks?"

>>41163622
Let's go with him.

Climb out through the broken window..

You jump through the broken window, using your GRAPPLE skill to avoid the sharp parts.

You see Applehead, splayed on the ground, with a dent in his apple head. He looks up at you, broken. “Did you get those little bastards?”

You help him to his feet, and can't help but feel pity for this man with an apple for a head.

"I actually... I think I helped secure their future for a little while from some politician or whatever," you say, slowly.

Applehead sighs. "How bad does it look?" he asks.

Before you can get an answer out, Slick rushes next to you. "Sick jump," he pants. He glances at Applehead. "Hey there, Fuckface. Do you realize how much we can sue someone for running you over so hard your head looks like a goddamn apple?"

You remember that you fight this man very soon, but keep it to yourself.

Part 4 and another Skullbash comes next week, boyos! Have a fantastic night.

>>41164379

Good night, man!

That was kind of... disjointed and hard to follow.
