Select this thingy to read my commentary
Hearts Boxcar has broken into the mansion of a rival gang. He’s the safecracker of the Midnight Crew. But, the safe is too big even for this giant, he’s called his little associate Clubs Deuce to bring some explosives. But, Hearts hears the ticking of an oven timer. He knows this is Biscuits(13), and he’s not happy about it. Biscuits(13), gimmick is that he can time travel to the future in his oven. In reality he’s just hiding in the oven, though he’s just popped out. Biscuits(13) is huge, even bigger than Hearts. Eggs(12) have also just shown up and together Eggs(12) and Biscuits(13) are a problem.
Clubs deuce has received the message from Hearts. He’s already following a specific path to try and lure Trace(3) out for Deuce to deal with.He’ll need to help Hearts out after.
Deuce has reached the source of the blood trail. A room with many shot up clocks he finds a tooth he identified as Fin(5). Fin(5) is like Trace(3) but he can see people's future paths. This also means Deuce knew where Fin was about to be. He had no problem giving a smack with his pool cue then pumping bullets into Fin. This created the trail of blood he followed up to this moment.
Spades just had one of his targets Die(6) escape getting clubbed to death. But it seems Die(6) changed his mind about being stuck in dimension all alone. I suppose that may be a fate worse than death, so he chose to come back. This was practically choosing death. He reappeared in front of Spades who finished his grim work with his knife.
Spades also got Die’s voodoo doll. He doesn't want to use it for any henchmen, but saves it for Lord English. He mentions English is apparently indestructible and this may need any edge he can get. Spades sets fire to several more clocks and the bodies of his recent victims. He can't be too careful with all this time screwery.
Till tomorrow, remember, voodoo is for wimps and keep riding the pumpkin tide.
