[AgentPaper]

> Craft SHODDY DISGUISE.




You manage to construct a rather unconvincing SHODDY DISGUISE of your fallen friend. Not nearly as good as one made from a genuine DISGUISE KIT by a more skilled spy, but it might fool a deaf bat as long as you don't do anything out of character.

As you stand on the STRANGE MARKINGS, they begin to glow ominously.

You step off the STRANGE MARKINGS and they stop glowing. You have a closer look.

BH: Hey MG, what's with these scribbles on the ground?
MG: what?
MG: oh those
MG: those are portal seeds
MG: later on we can plant stuff in them and make portals to various places
BH: That sounds useful.
MG: SUPER important in the late game according to the faqs
MG: if we even get that far with you two scrubs
MG: but then again the other team is probably even worse than you
MG: because they dont have me helping them :p :p :p
BH: Heh, yeah, I bet. Remember it's just our first game though, not a big deal if we lose.
BH: I'm sure me and SM will be as good as you soon. Like, in 10 minutes. =P
MG: argh
MG: i hate how modest you always pretend to be
MG: makes me want to puke
MG: like your not good at games
MG: cant you just gloat like a normal person
BH: Oh come on, I'm not that good... =P
MG: there you go again
MG: and yes you are that good
MG: remember fotm?
BH: Ok, ok fine, so I'm good at FPS's.
BH: That's no reason to shove it in everyone's face.
MG: what
MG: sure it is
MG: whats the point of winning if you dont brag
SM: And I still say you'd win all the time if you just kept getting better at one game isntead of always switching between them.
BH: That's definitely true. Oh, SM, how're you coming along, by the way?
SM: Hmm, I think I've figured it out. You just have to walk around norm-OUCH!
BH: You okay SM?
SM: Yeah. Yeah I'm fine. I just stubbed my toe on my desk.
SM: OWWW, why does it hurt so much when you do that!
SM: It's such a small, useless part of your body!
BH: You're getting closer at least.
BH: Try taking out your swords.
SM: I don't know if that's a good idea... I should probably wait at least until I can walk before that.
MG: ugh youre so worthless
MG: here this is what you should do
MG: you know those weirdo fencing classes you take?
MG: going through the steps in your miiiiinnnd and blah blah
MG: well do that now

No, no, you guys are overlooking the obvious next step. ROGUEs are part of the game world. We currently have a ROGUE disguise capable of fooling a deaf bat. Loudspeakers are roughly as perceptive as blind bats. Therefore:

BH: HELLO MOM
BH: I AM AN EVIL ROGUE ROBOT
MOM: Oh are you now?
BH: YES
BH: uh, BEEP BOOP
MOM: Well, that's just delightful news!
BH: er, it is?
MOM: Oh yes! Because if you're an EVIL ROGUE ROBOT, then that means...
MOM: I get to watch as the GLORIOUS PLAYERS tear you to scrap as part of their GLORIOUS GENOCIDE against your kind!
BH: uh...
MOM: Pulling out your BOLTS one by one...
MOM: Taking you APART and putting you back TOGETHER again and again...
BH: er...beep?
MOM: Until your THREADS are stripped smooth and your JOINTS are loose and rusted...
BH: Uhm, I'm just going to...leave now.
MOM: You CANNOT escape your ULTIMATE FATE, nasty ROGUE!
MOM: You AND your kind are DOOMED TO DESTRUCTION!
MOM: It is only A MATTER of TIME.

You decide that it's high time you left this boring room. Hopefully the next one will be more interesting.

You pick up your knife and move out through the NORTH exit, proclaiming, "BEEP BOOP" and bouncing on one leg. Outside, you find yourself on top of a set of oddly proportioned and rather dangerous looking stairs.

There is a large STRANGE MACHINE in the corner, and a few OUTLINES marked on the ground. Another ROGUE stands before your menacingly, bouncing up and down, moving its WRECKING GLOVES like a boxer. Your SHODDY DISGUISE doesn't appear to have fooled it in the least.

Fools. The only way we're getting past this thing is if we've got the HIGHER GROUND!

[BRC]

Your spytricks don't seem to work on these Rogues, but just backstabbing this guy would probably be boring.
Fortunetally, this is an MSPA inspired comic, which means that making up absurd yet amusing game mechanics should work!

Open your Genre Grid, if I know the system I'm making up off the top of my head, it should currently be set to Suave Spy. Since it looks like this early stage involves alot of combat with things immune to our spylike charms, another approach may be needed. Therefore I recommend switching our Genre Grid from Suave Spy to Action Agent, which should give us a more appropriate skillset.

[Todasmile]

You fools! If we change our Genre Grid setting to Action Agent, then our Suave Spy Genre won't gain Personage Points! Action Agent may be fine in the early game, but wasting Personage Points on it will only make it more difficult in the long run!

Not that I have any ideas on how to dispatch the WRECKING ROGUE.

...

Wait a minute... I bet that the COGs on the ROGUE's back would hook up to that GEAR!

It's worth a try, dammit!
