Let's Play Noctropolis, Part 14: Meat the Butcher
I promised myself I'd get this done before the year ends. I'm used to disappointment, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try anyway. So here we go!
In our last update, the new Darksheer searched the Opera House for clues to Stiletto's whereabouts. After knocking down a bricked doorway with a water hose, he bartered his life and the necessary information from a group of hoodlums: Butcher shop.
After stopping by Shadowlair and taking a dip in the pool of Liquidark, we head to Main Street.
We speak to the newsstand's proprietor for directions.
I guess we're lucky there's only one butcher in the whole city.
But before we leave, we stop by the Hall of Records to follow up on another lead the gang under the Opera House gave us: Master Whisperman.
He built the observatory? He would have to be well over a 100 years old by now, that can't be right... can it? *dun* *dun* *DUUUUUN*
With this startling possibility, we head over to the butcher shop.
Sanitation regulations must be virtually nonexistent in Noctropolis.
Where does all this meat even come from? The only animals we've seen were conjured up and obliterated by Tophat.
Perhaps it's best not to dwell on it...
:
Do you own a tricycle cart?
:
I saw it the other day down in Subterrania
The guy's twice our size and has a meat cleaver, let's not piss him off.
:
Yes... I must have been.
:
Do you make your own sausage?
:
Yes, I'll take half a pound.
:
I don't have any money. How about a trade?
We offer him the newspaper we've been lugging around since Update #3.
You never know when a sausage might come in handy.
While the butcher's busy wrapping his meat, we sneak into the back to try and find his delivery boy and ask him some questions.
Oh, it's the freezer. Surprisingly we don't lock ourselves inside, so no need to panic.
Hmm... that gives me an idea, let's grab a meat hook.
Guess it was a fairly silly idea.
Or not.
That sick fuck maimed our sidekick!
Just before passing out, Peter manages to gather enough strength to mock The Special One and his Merengues.
In the next update we find out if Master Macabre chops Darksheer's sausage.
