Magic Block: Chapter two- Aneurysms and Demons

Go into the casino, and put it all on red.
HIGH STAKES.

I'm saving that plot line for the Magic Block sitcom that will eventually be made. The episode will be all about Issac having a gambling problem, which gets him and the Magic Block crew into all sorts of zany adventures. After several forced and unfunny jokes the episode takes a serious turn, and Isaac tries to stop gambling. Eventually he gets over his problem, and the audience realizes that nothing really got accomplished and that the whole ordeal was just a big waste of time.

Sell out to disney channel, and make a ton of money as a sitcom.
Integrity? Your soul? FOOL, THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE

Also, my artist (my new one) lost the pen to their tablet. The bad news is that I won't be updating for a little while. So there won't be any magic block for a while (assuming that I have thousands of readers eager to read the new updates). The good news is, however, that I will have more time to script the next few updates.

>Isaac: Get to your friend's place post haste!



You happily waltz over to BT's apartment, finally having finished all of this inane bullshit. Geeze it feels like you've spent about a month not getting anything done, even though you've only been wandering around for thirty minutes. But who cares about that any more? You're finally done with all of your scrambling around. You have the umbrella, you have the soda, nothing can possibly distract you now.

==>



There was a car accident while you were out. The road is now backed up.

==>



You are shocked to find something distracting. You thought for sure you'd be able to finish your quest without any issues. What puzzles you the most is that there was no accident before you entered the store, and you couldn't have been inside for more than five minutes. That would mean in that short span of time two cars collided with each other, and the police not only had enough time to arrive but block off the road as well, all without you even hearing any of this. Oh well, you guess you were distracted with more important things, such as how to waste your money. However now you must focus on an even bigger problem, how the hell will you get to BT's house now?

Run over screaming and get inside a car.

[Edo Nagori]

>Isaac: Use Dark(Lore) magicks to get rid of the obstruction.


You harness the destructive powers provided by your Darklore deck. No wreckage or law officials can stand before your mighty abilities. You Raise your hand, prepared to unleash a wave of dark energy...

Or at least you would if magic were real. Magic only exists in your poorly drawn imagination, it's not a real thing! Instead you have to solve this in a rational, realistic manner. The only problem is that you can't think of how to solve this in a rational, realistic manner. This conundrum stumps you, no matter how hard you think, you can't possibly come up with a solution. Ok that's it, you must present this problem to your roommate. Surely she will know what to do!

>Isaac: Pester your roomate!

Isaac: Hey how is it going.
???: There you are!
???: I wondered what happened to you.
???: You weren't here when I got back from school.
???: I thought you might have taken a walk, but the umbrella was gone.
???: And usually you never walk in the rain, you just sit around reading your comics when it rains.
Isaac: Yeah i know it's a long complicated story.
Isaac: Involving a certain asshole with blue text.
Isaac: That everybody likes to hit on for some reason.
???: Oh him?
???: I see you're still not calling him by his real name.
Isaac: Nope why the hell would i.
Isaac: The guy's an ass.
Isaac: Anyway i didn't text you to complain about my good for nothing best friend.
???: Why do you always put up with him any way?
???: Does he still have you thinking that everything in the world is your fault?
Isaac: That is hardly the point.
Isaac: And not the reason i started texting you.
Isaac: But if you must know everything actually IS my fault.
Isaac: No root beer loving jerks put that idea in my head.
???: No...
???: But he sure loved to tease you about it.
???: Rather than help you out like a REAL friend would.
Isaac: Well it's kind of true, so i really don't mind.
Isaac: that's not why i'm pissed at him.
???: Is it because he bosses you around all of the time?
Isaac: Yes that's totally it.
Isaac: Now can we please get off of this stupid subject and actually talk about something important.
Isaac: And kind of urgent?
???: We are talking about something important.
???: We are talking about how you should listen to a REAL friend for once and actually tell this guy off.
Isaac: Jesus CHRIIIIIIIIST.
Isaac: Nope no more.
Isaac: We aren't talking about my bullshit feelings right now.
???: But...
Isaac: No buts, there is something even MORE important for us to figure out.
Isaac: A puzzle if you will.
Isaac: A puzzle that continues to wrack my brain.
Isaac: A puzzle that i have spent a good ten minutes trying to solve.
Isaac: a puzzle that...
Isaac: well...
Isaac: That quite frankly is very puzzling.
???: Alright I get it!
???: You know how much I love puzzles.
???: All you had to say is that it was a puzzle.
Isaac: Alright....
Isaac: Although i'm warning you.
Isaac: This puzzle is really hard.
???: I don't care, lay it on me Isaac.
???: You know I'm the puzzle queen!
Isaac: Alright...
Isaac: well there was a car accident right outside of the store i was in.
Isaac: It's totally blocking up the road.
Isaac: i have no idea what to do.
Isaac: i really need to get to BT's house fast!
???: ...
???: This doesn't sound like a puzzle Isaac.
???: This sounds more like something happens, and you're too scared to go down a side street.
Isaac: Nope, that's so not the case here.
Isaac: It's an actual dilemma i'm facing.
Isaac: Because going down the side streets is not an option.
Isaac: You know what kind of evil lurks there.
???: You know, they are everywhere else.
???: I'm pretty sure you saw some of the "ultimate evil" while walking to the store.
???: I'm pretty sure you see it everyday.
Isaac: Yes but that's different.
Isaac: At least on a busy street there are other people around to help me if it strikes.
Isaac: Going down a side street is exactly what it wants/
Isaac: It's like trying to escape from corn in a corn field.
Isaac: The simple fact is that you can't escape.
Isaac: The corn will corrupt your soul and will turn you into an evil war hungry monster that will destroy everything in your path.
???: ... That last part didn't make any sense, at all.
Isaac: Oh didn't it?
???: No, it really didn't.
???: Besides your hate for corn is just as silly as your fear of bi-
???: I mean the "ultimate evil".
Isaac: You may call it silly, but i call it being enlightened.
???: Yeah....
???: Ok can you just go down a stupid side street already?
Isaac: Fine but if i become a psychotic murder it's your fault.
???: Whatever just stop being a baby.
???: See you when you get home!
Isaac: Yeah see you.

>Isaac: Sneak down side street.



You nervously sneak down a side street. Your roommate has a point, going this way is the only logical option. You decide to be cautious, however. You don't want to be caught off guard by one of

Jesus Christ, can't you go one step without running into one of THEM?

A big thanks to Sassy, the talented artist that shall be doing art for the rest of the comic. May she not fall prey to a busy schedule or a lost tablet pen.

The ultimate evil is bicycles? I mean, yes. Of course. Bicycles are always out to get you. Have to be careful around them sneaky malevolent two-wheeled transportation devices.

> Put crow in your inventory. You can use it as a ward against the Ultimate Evil Bicycles if you ever come across them. By which you mean, when you inevitably will come across them today.

Wait what? Why the hell would you do that, that's the stupidest idea you've had in hours. The only idea stupider than that would be deciding to go to your friend's apartment in the first place. Besides you actually don't mind bicycles. In fact, dare you say it, you actually *Gasp* think they are kind of fun. The only people who get hurt by them are the stupid kids who can't ride them properly. Know the real evil are the...

Birds!!! Oh how you hate these servants of evil. They stalk around everywhere, looking to to sink it's unholy talons inside of some unsuspecting prey. Sometimes you have nightmares of the little buggers carrying you away, to use you as a sacrifice to the evil crow gods. At least that's what you always thought it meant.

>Isaac: Run away!



You run away as far as you can from this shady fellow. Maybe he'll find somebody else to squawk at.

[Kíeros]

> Well, if this is how your day's going to be, just head home and ditch your friend.

[lavaheart626]
