We left off last time seeing Nanaquin surrounded by piles of cookies in the kitchen. An imp dares to try and take one and is instantly vaporised by Nana’s laser eyes. This isn’t a special game sprite thing, all grandmas can do this. They just choose not to.

John heads to his living room which now has 11 imps causing chaos. John uses his pogo as a mount, wielding both the claw hammer and a bottle of shaving cream. He somehow manages to take at least one of them out in a state of absolute bouncy rage. However, he trips on one of the many cruxite dowels the imps have created. Before the mob could descend on him he manages to perform an amazing wall flip thing to escape into the study. This is a pretty insane physical feat for a 13 year old, especially one who plays video games all day. Rose seals the entrance using the fridge.

For some odd reason the audience directions are getting very mannered. As though they’ve developed a strong sense of human etiquette. Also they are asking for a can opener.

The study is not safe. 2 imps were hanging out there. Rose takes one out with the safe revealing its contents. It looks like more cards, another copy of Sassacars, a note, and some very old papers. John is too distracted to deal with the other imp behind him.

Years in the future we see our wayward vagabond is reading the book of human etiquette that fell out of the cache. He’s learned that being polite results in gratitude. He is also eating every page he reads.

Rose meanwhile, despite helping John, is also updating her FAQ. I need absolute focus just to write this nonsense. So compared to me Rose is a goddess of multitasking. This time she is posting screenshots of the game pointing out odd things. For example…

• John’s house being able to get power and internet.
• Rose claims to have no idea what happened to John’s fathers car.
• She is noticing John acting weird and hearing voices in his head.
• She also notes that she is unable to see into John fathers room. Possibly because John hasn’t been in there.
• Also the quote she makes under John riding the pogo is from Russian novelist Nikolai V Gogol.

Rose has also resumed construction on making the home taller… I guess we’re all ignoring the imp next to John. These things must really be harmless! I wonder if there’s a way to not harm them, and get grist anyway. I want a SBURB pacifist run.
