Page 108

Back to the circus, Rico has now taken to a stage outside his room and stands above a small crowd. Rico grandly gestures with excitement as he tries, and is thoroughly failing, to impress the crowd with a talk on how amazing humanity is.

The aliens in the crowd are bored and yawning, some glancing around, the young ones looking fidgety. We overhear snippets of Rico's talk from off screen rambling about how great spleens are.

Away from the main stage, the boss catches a glimpse of Rico's bored crowd and curses under her breath before she rushes over.

The boss zips on stage and dramatically gestures to the crowd, cutting off Rico and having him hop back in shock. "You've fallen for her tricks, you fools! The monster's tactic is to lull its victims into boredom and then consume them!". The crowd shrieks in happy shock and clapping rises up from the audience below.

Author's Notes:

These are the important lessons Rico has learned through his travels. He's taking control of the situation and being a master of his own fate! No longer will the Standard kick him around for Rico will... bore some tourists.

It's just not a sci-fi story without some made-up lame cursing.

And for completely unnecessary character development, while drawing this page, I decided that little girl's name is Smaudge. Her and her space-cat are going to be cops. But like, cool buddy cop detectives that are loose cannons. Whether that's the pretend she plays or she is actually going to be said space-detective, I wish her the best.
