Ashens and the Quest for the Gamechild Page #2

There's heat?!

I'll give you the tour.

This is the living room.

Wow! You sure do have a lot of crap.

Yes, I do!

Don't touch anything though, I like things a particular way.

You won't even notice I'm here.

Good.

Come on, I'll show you the rest of the house.

Okay, sink's here. There's the cooker. That's the fridge, obviously.

Dining room is through here.

You've seen the living room of course.

What's in here?

That's just a room I use for storage, don't worry about that.

Oh... It's locked.

Can I have a look?

Oh no, no I just remembered I've lost the key.

Let's get you sorted-

Why is it locked?

Just leave it alone! You're going to damage something.

There's no reason for you to go in there.

C'mon Stu, why is this locked?!!

Oh, wow!

No! Don't go down there!

Come on, Geoff!

Hello?

Yeah, hi. It's Stuart from next door.

Could you keep it down a bit please? I've got somebody over.

Oh, sorry, I must have got carried away.

Yeah, thanks, bye.

It's my neighbour. He's a bit of a weirdo.

Some kind of improvisational jazz musician or something.

You never see him without his costume on.

Weirdo.

Come on, Geoff. Nobody is allowed in here.

What is all this stuff, is this all the tat you've reviewed?

No. No. This is something... Different.

What is it?

There's something you don't know about me,

something very few people know.

I'm a collector.

I collect very rare, but absolutely worthless collectibles.

That's so cool!

What's this?

It's nothing!

What is it?

Look, it's a long and boring story, and I'm tired.

Come on, Stu.

What's the Game Child?

It's the one thing I have always desired, and never gotten hold of.

That's very cryptic, Stu, but not very helpful.

The Game Child is a rip-off of the first popular handheld games console.

It was the first of its type, and to my knowledge, the only one.

It was released around 1989, but only put out in very small numbers.

But aren't those rip-off games everywhere?

Usually.

Do you really want to know?

Ok, I'll start from the beginning.

It was a different, more simple time.

You have to remember, these were the very early days of handheld consoles.

We knew that the Game Child was being released, but nobody knew where.

However, my sources gave me a lead.

Oh hey! Mashens!

Stashens!

Gashens!

Fashens!

Yes, I get it, Nemesis! God, you're a right pain in the arse!

A right pain in your mum's arse!

Guess where I'm going?

Don't care.

Guess.

Don't care.

Guess!

Still don't care.

Guess!!!

Your weekly rectal exam.

No! That's Thursday!

I'm going to go buy the only Game Child in Norwich!

Oh, that's where you're going, isn't it Stuart?

You thought you were the only one who knew.
