| Triangle and Robert #1261 | Aruba:
/ Hand over the Meat Sentry's body and I'll leave in peace.
/ Okay. / Scotland:
/ The glutamic seaplane is functional. Whatever business distracted the entity must have concluded. / The Zone of No Pudding:
/ How could he kill me? I don't understand.
/ You don't need to understand. Your part in this... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1261 |
| Triangle and Robert #1262 | The Oval was never meant to return. Naturally they'd have manned it with an expendable automaton and not a human. / But if it wasn't human, why were polygons required to obey it?
/ They built the Ovalnaut with all their command of geometry so that it could deal with unexpected situations. / That almost... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1262 |
| Triangle and Robert #1263 | We will be landing now.
/ I wonder if we'll be heroes.
/ I hope not. / I thrive on inconsequential adventures that change nothing.
/ I have enough to worry about being a protagonist. I can't afford to be a role model too. / Message gotten. Next plotline: pointless disjointed events and maybe some panicked... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1263 |
| Triangle and Robert #1264 | We just got a letter, we just got a letter, we just got a letter, wonder who it's from!
/ Just open the thing. / A desperate theme park wants to hire us to turn them around!
/ That sounds good. / Oh... they mean turn them around financially, not rotationally. Still, a job's a job. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1264 |
| Triangle and Robert #1265 | Well, this is it.
/ Doesn't look like much. / Not being drawn isn't helping it.
/ Doesn't sound like much either. A theme park should have annoying music and... forget I said anything. / Forget wha-? Oh. We don't want to risk... that pill... thinking we want it here.
/ It certainly smells like a theme... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1265 |
| Triangle and Robert #1266 | You've arrived. Welcome to... well, we're between names at the moment. Naming this park is one of the tasks for you to handle. / We had trouble finding the place. You need to give better directions and put up a few signs.
/ At one point the park was "Impossible-to-Find World" and hidden under a tarp.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1266 |
| Triangle and Robert #1267 | The first thing people see after the parking lot is the entrance. It should be welcoming and exciting.
/ And drawn.
/ Ideally, yes. / Drawn or not, though, there should be almost no barbed wire.
/ You see? This sort of thing is why we need consultants. / Also why Robert needs to stop randomly climbing... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1267 |
| Triangle and Robert #1268 | Look at these ticket prices. They make no sense. A family of four is better off buying tickets separately than as a group.
/ It was the easiest way to meet tax code requirements. / I'm not sure I follow.
/ There's a tax on people who are bad at math. / Ah, right. Somehow that money never seems to get... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1268 |
| Triangle and Robert #1269 | Anything else you could suggest about the entrance?
/ Not until we have a name for the park. That'll determine much of the decor. / So, heading inward.
/ Good, a nice broad walkway... concession stands highly visible... low-hanging gondola that could easily hit someone... pack of feral cats... / {{u... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1269 |
| Triangle and Robert #1270 | Are you just going to leave your partner stuck on the barbed wire?
/ It's the safest place for him to be. / Don't let him down until we've identified all the deathtraps and potential self-destruct mechanisms. If there's a button to not press, he'll press it. It's a wacky sidekick thing. / Are you allowed... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1270 |
| Triangle and Robert #1271 | We have forty-four rides, although they're not all currently functioning.... Are you sure Robert is okay like that?
/ You're the client. If you want him down I'll let him down. / Remember, you did sign an insurance waiver. / Hi, I let myself down from the barbed wire. Did you know this theme park was... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1271 |
| Triangle and Robert #1272 | What do you mean, an isosceles burial ground? / Back when discrimination against them was more blatant, isosceles triangles had to bury their dead separately from scalene triangles. A lot of them died violent deaths. I'd be surprised not to encounter vengeful spirits. / Robert, don't be silly. There's... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1272 |
| Triangle and Robert #1273 | Cotton candy! Cotton candy!
/ Fibreglass insulation... / Robert, what... no... how are you eating that? Don't eat fibreglass!
/ It's not fibreglass. / Why are there giant rolls of pink cotton candy amongst janitorial and maintenance equipment?
/ We had to put them somewhere. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1273 |
| Triangle and Robert #1274 | Triangle, I think I ate too much cotton candy.
/ I noticed. / It did give me an idea, though. I know exactly how we can catch that spooky crook.
/ What spooky crook? / I'm ahead of the plot. Sorry.
/ This isn't Scooby! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1274 |
| Triangle and Robert #1275 | There are lots of things that happen in amusement parks, not just Scooby Doo episodes. / In fact, there aren't even that many amusement park episodes of Scooby Doo. / ...
/ You say "Jinkies," I eviscerate you. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1275 |
| Triangle and Robert #1276 | Let's try a ride.
/ I guess it can't hurt. / Feel free.
/ What's that one? "The Permutatron"?
/ It's out of order. / We can get a good view of the park from the Ferris wh... tetrahedron?
/ How does that even rotate? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1276 |
| Triangle and Robert #1277 | Riding the Ferris tetrahedron after overeating is inadvisable.
/ Here I go! / Why did he just...
/ Officially, he's stress- and safety-testing the ride. Unofficially, it's just so he gets to vomit. / Does he enjoy vomiting?
/ No. He's just trying to advance the plot. Or something. I don't think he knows... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1277 |
| Triangle and Robert #1278 | Whee!
/ The Ferris tetrahedron looks fun. Except, um... / Shouldn't it be structurally impossible for it to, you know...
/ Sh! Don't say... / The collapse of the Ferris tetrahedron was oddly silent, as I wasn't really sure what kind of noise it should make. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1278 |
| Triangle and Robert #1279 | W... why... why would you have.... a ride... which IMMEDIATELY falls apart if anyone questions its mechanical viability? / I have no idea.
/ Aren't you in charge?
/ I've only been in charge for three weeks. This is the first time I've seen the park operating in person. / And this wasn't worth telling... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1279 |
| Triangle and Robert #1280 | So far I'm thinking you should dismantle the entire park and start from scratch with a new one. I doubt it would cost much more than bringing what you have up to code. / We're at almost zero operating budget. We need to become profitable without any major capital outlay. I'm hoping some of the attractions... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1280 |
| Triangle and Robert #1281 | Simple lack of explosives won't get the bumber cars to pass a safety inspection. They need to be safe, not just less actively deadly.
/ I'm not following you. / You're not legally allowed to operate an amusement park unless the attractions pass mandatory inspections.
/ I can see how that could be a problem.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1281 |
| Triangle and Robert #1282 | I'd rather only hear ideas that are legal for now. How can the park run and make a profit without breaking any laws? / I haven't formulated a plan yet.
/ Let's keep looking around! / Low-flying gondola!
/ I see it, thanks!
/ Bear trap!
/ What? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1282 |
| Triangle and Robert #1283 | This waterslide looks fun. How do I start the water? / Don't touch that valve! / Will it trigger some sort of comical disaster?
/ Uh... whichever answer keeps you from turning it. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1283 |
| Triangle and Robert #1284 | I know for a fact that this slide isn't connected to the plumbing. Whatever fluid it is, it's not a waterslide. / There's only one way to find out.
/ No, there isn't. Don't turn the valve until you know what it's connected to. / Come on, how bad could it be?
/ I'm thinking napalm. With piranhas in i... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1284 |
| Triangle and Robert #1285 | You hired us. Don't keep us from doing our job. I'm turning on that water... unknown-fluid-slide. / It's against my direction. I'm not liable if it turns out to be liquid nitrogen with rabies.
/ You're not scaring me. / See? It's just water. I mean bleach. I mean ammonia. I mean...
/ *THUD* http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1285 |
| Triangle and Robert #1286 | Toxic vapours! Robert fell down!
/ I suppose you don't have hazard gear around? / It's in the carousel. Break open the horses.
/ Interesting place for it. / I don't see any horses, just what appear to be half-melted pandas and weirdly misshapen ... ...things.
/ The bluer things were originally horses... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1286 |
| Triangle and Robert #1287 | This isn't hazard gear!
/ It's supposed to be. What is it? / I think it's Dukes of Hazzard gear.
/ That isn't funny.
/ It certainly isn't.
/ I doesn't really make sense either.
/ I know. / The fumes are getting closer! I'm taking shelter in the Family Fun Abattoir.
/ You're not supposed to leave consultants... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1287 |
| Triangle and Robert #1288 | [[Triangle running]] / [[slightly blue Triangle running]] / [[bluer Triangle running]]
/ You can't hold your breath much longer, I only have a few distinguishable shades of blue. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1288 |
| Triangle and Robert #1289 | [[blue Triangle running]]
/ Triangle! In here! / [[bluer Triangle running]]
/ Robert! You're okay?
/ It's airtight in here. Come on! / [[slightly blue Triangle]]
/ I couldn't see. Where are we?
/ I didn't see the name of the ride. Don't touch the heating coils. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1289 |
| Triangle and Robert #1290 | The bleach-and-ammoniaslide is still running. We have to shut it d... The floor's moving. / [[Triangle and Robert launched out of "The TOASTER"]] / What a strange concept for a ride.
/ Could that have been drawn any less to scale? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1290 |
