Tomorrow is the last day to get one of the last of my metal Alien Dice bookmarks. I will be recycling the remainder.
He got halfway down the hall when a massive figure stormed around the corner and into the hallway. This first individual was Justice, a towering man who was endowed with a muscular frame that moved unnaturally fast as he strode toward Vic. He was wearing a uniform of red, white, and blue. On top of that, he had a leather jacket that was covered with various advertisements. A slimmer framed man in a red, white, and blue uniform, covered with a lab coat walked immediately behind him, hands in his pockets and lacking the urgent air that Justice carried. This was Castle.
The last person was a sharp contrast to the first two. Chill was petite and her skin was a gleaming bluish white. Her face was smooth and features formed like a porcelain doll’s, with clear African heritage showing through. Her hair stuck up in rigid icicles that also encircled her lower arms and calves. She was dressed in a similar uniform to the other two, but lacked any branding.
“Stop! That’s an order!” Vic threw up a hand at the trio, knowing they wouldn’t listen, but it bought the kids a few more seconds as the three slowed to give him time to move.
“I do not take orders.” Justice boomed, waving Vic out of the way.
Vic obligingly stepped aside, folding his arms and leaning against the wall to let them pass. Getting pushed aside by Justice was not on Vic’s itinerary for the day, since it might be followed by a trip to the medical unit for a dislocated shoulder.

I worry a tiny bit how this revelation expands the Alien Dice universe, so I'll not here, now: No, I do not intend to change this comic into a superhero comic. :D As a matter of fact, that big guy's a big jerk... well, they tend to be just like real people and like getting paid... and selling advertisements on their uniforms. Castle had an argument with his handler and to spite him, snagged a lab coat to cover his. ;) He'd rather be back in his city pent house. ;) Those advertisements, they pay their salary and go into a fund to repair any property they might damage. ;) So they have an incentive NOT TO DESTROY ENTIRE CITY BLOCKS.
The only reason they have so much thought put into them is because they are part of another comic that I've been working on for years that I've never had time to work on. ;)

Wait…. so there are superhumans in this world? They look like some group of superheros. And dressed in red, white, and blue? Are they what Captain America was based off?
Wait, maybe they are aliens too? But that doesn’t make sense…The first two I could let slide, but how on earth is their a girl made of ice???
lol Everytime I think I’m understanding things/becoming able to predict this world I get thrown a curveball.
Also, 1st comment?? Maybe?

So I take it Castle can only walk forward/backwards or left/right, but can not move diagonally? Also, is the imagery of how ”Justice’ appears to be wearing a blindfold intentional, or just a coincidence?
I am a little unsure how this development will change the direction of the story. Didn’t ADC pick Earth as a game site since it was considered backwards and held no potential threats for the players?

HAHAHAHA! 😀 Don’t worry, it’s all explained why they aren’t considered threats and why they haven’t interfered. (Because they’re greedy and stick to cities and only do things to get paid for.)

What? No orders? Dang, I wanted a cheeseburger!

“I don’t take orders! I GIVE orders! You! Get Me COFFEE!”
“Young man, I’m your mother, and I’m one of the heads of this facility, AND I can still bend you over my knee and give you a spanking. You will apologize RIGHT NOW, or I will do just that. Here. In public. In front of your co-workers.”
“… Sorry Mom. I got carried away!”
“You’re forgiven. Now you can go get you own coffee like everybody else.”
“Yes’m!” *Goes off to get coffee like everybody else.*
(I picture the mother is about 5 feet tall, and probably wears a suit or a lab coat.) (Also, I could NOT resist this joke.)

You know, if this is a universe with superheroes this outlandish, maybe Lexx has a shot. Just blame everything on genetic engineering, most people will swallow it without question.
ToxicSunrise
It even has the benefit of being true! Granted, the actual engineering happened well before Lexx was born, but who needs to know that? Lie like an Aes Sedai Lexx!
