Arduous Huff the kinetic sponge hero shivers. He looks out at at the bank with a newly focused gaze. It feels as if half a decade passes in the furtive silence between the explosion and the current moment; but Arduous has no time for reminiscence.

An ungodly clank sounds as the thick reinforced door ricochets across the marble room, clearing a full tesudo of law authorities. Arduous gazes half-lidded at the abruptly exploded vault door; The oddly-proportioned man moves with almost an arachnid gate, limbs moving disjoined to his centre of mass. The banks secure atrium now becoming exposed it’s fortune laid bare. 

-- shock -- 

To most eyewitnesses an abhorrent sight penetrates their eyes; but to stoic Arduous Huff the suspiciously empty vault is par for the course. Tendrils of mutant sponge tickling at the nerve ending behind his eyes, Arduous investigates the seeming empty bank vault. 

With an immediate understanding that the deed is done, He turns. Puffed triangular cheeks orbiting around his head like fleshy moons. “Angelo, why are we wasting our time on this? It’s not like the Agency will pay us for the trouble, and seemingly our perpetrator has already run away with the money. what’s the point in all this?” 

The ineffectual officers tending to the myriad kidnapped victims simply continue their business tending to the affected. 

- Ruffle - 

Reaching for a city map, the young Arduous Huff offers to his moustached companion, “There are plenty more mysteries to this city, and certainly more that the agency wish us investigate. What do you say to another trip on ol' tram to another adventure?”
