It’s all YOUR doing!

Characters: Head Alien, Joyce Brown
Location: Island in the Bermuda Triangle #2
Thus begins Head Alien’s canny ability to make abductees remember things that’ve been mindwiped whenever it’s convenient to him.
So HA is responsible for the characters and their predicaments, knows all their secrets and backstories, always makes sure that whatever happens is the most dramatic thing possible, is utterly genre savvy, and can change the rules of the story seemingly on a whim.
If we ever get that helmet off him, are we going to find a dark haired Transformers geek with glasses?
A few years ago, I read a webcomic called “Freak Heroes”, where the final villan of the story turned out to be the author himself. Admitedly, he did a good job building the suspense up to the revelation and closing up the final confrontation.
You know, in fairness, he was there for this one. It’s not like his knowledge that Joyce wiped her own mind came from nowhere.
Cue Bugs Bunny voice – “Ain’t I a stinker?”
Except for that one time with Joe and Robin.
That’s what happens when you play “favorites”
Head Alien I love you man but, this… may not be the right time to bring that up.
Actually, it’s the perfect time – for him. See, he isn’t dead yet.
Oh no you don’t, Dexter. You tortured Joyce and then used it as leverage to make her destroy herself. How lucky for you that the mind-wiper is a cheap piece of unreliable trash, otherwise you might never have managed to salvage your “beloved villains club” membership.
(I get extra upset any time an abuser resorts to playing the victim blame card.)
I Don’t think HA ‘s reversal of the blame game helped him out much, looks like Joyce is madder still.
Did HA add to these kids some of his tendency for exposition? It would explain why he’s not dead right now.
Forgot to add: These kids need to learn to shoot first, ask questions later.
Shoot first, shoot second, reload, shoot some more, and *then* ask questions.
Considering Joyce’s weapon, that could take all day!
“Are you dead yet?”
“…no”
*BLAM*
As I recall, the one time they actually DO shoot first and ask questions later,they make mincemeat out of the aliens.
GOD JUST KILL HIM ALREADY.
NO DON’T KILL HIM HE’S AWESOME!
Killing the Head Alien never works anyway.
WE NEED HIM TO BUILD MONKEY MASTER!
Without the Big MM, who’s going to keep the sensitive scanner company at night? Don’t leave her alone with her thoughts!
That’s not true! That’s impossible!
I figured it was too early for him to get bazooka’d to death.
