OR: "The Esoteric Elegance of Exits and Entrances"
Trust LOLOMG to make a mountain out of a simple carriage ride... Luckily Topaz T. Camel is around, though what a celestial camel thinks of this party is probably best left unexplored.
Laughs and puns abound as ever, as Alex's despair continues to ratchet. Or should that be clank? Either way, the party seem to have some considerable obstacles to surmount if even Hamid's charm isn't getting them past the front gate. What secrets does Clanks have to hide? Have we finally discovered that old gaming trope of the shadowy industrial complex, intent on 'improving' the world a la Umbrella Corp or Weyland-Yutani? And, of course, the most pressing question - is the LOLOMG Dagger Display a sound enough show to take on the road?

Sometimes the best laid plans... are still pretty terrible! The whole carriage sequence was very funny, and a good giggle first thing in the morning has to be beneficial to your day.

I think the team owes Hamid a few bottles of wine after the headaches they gave him today. I'd prefer things going more Umbrella Corp than Weyland-Yutani mostly because we know handling undead is a thing this team is good at... but other than that whey seem a bit of a garbage fire at the moment. I would like to know why Hamid totally missed that carriage driver openly just accepting he was fine with being a free get away driver for their B&E. Why not accept the pre-arranged ride post potential grand theft and/or felony trespass? It seems like a far better plan than just dog piling onto the camel and wandering off.
In unrelated things... I'm an American Goth at heart and I was just about dead laughing at the references in this episode. Hot Topic is the faux goth candy that holds just enough safe "edgy" things to make the under 16 crowd feel dark and dangerous while being tame enough that it avoids the roving crowds of concerned parent complainers. You get the "everything in black" clothing line, the "I'm so retro cool" t-shirts for bands and video games half their customers are too young to know, and plenty of body jewelry and bright colored hair dye. Now I'm currently at the "get off my lawn" stage of my rant, but it is far better than walking past American Eagle and their overpriced jeans and gross "perfume" piped in through their air system that causes people asthma attacks just walking past the store.
