Ashens and the Quest for the Gamechild Page #5

Ah...

So, how can this professor help us on our quest?

He's the most brilliant man I've ever known.

And he's as obsessed with the Game Child as I am.

Oh.

Ready?

Stay here, yeah?

Oh w-w-wait.

Let me come with you, Stu.

Come on, don't leave me out here.

Not with...

Spoon Boy...

I mean, look at him!

No, it's better that I go alone.

Grab yourself a pint of something.

Stuart Ashen.

Professor.

It's been a while.

You've got a nerve, showing up here.

Well I'm here, so surely we can forget about all that.

You ruined me, Ashens!

I ruined you?! You're the one who had sex with my girlfriend!

You're still upset about that?! That was years ago!

You hold a grudge, don't you?!

She was just using me, if that's any consolation!

No, it isn't!

You were my lecturer, and you slept with the only girl I ever cared about!

Okay, okay, point taken!

You didn't have to tell the vice-chancellor!

Not this again! I didn't tell anybody!

Everything fell apart after you left.

A year later I was thrown out of the university.

So what do you want, Stuart?!

Yes!

Another!

You're not still looking for the Game Child, after all these years?!

Do you know where it is?

I might.

But, you'd have to prove yourself worthy of this quest!

It's not a quest, I'm just looking for an old video game system!

That was always one of your failings. You could never see the big picture.

What do I have to do?

You must pass the test.

What is this test?

You must beat me at the most intensive game of skill and wits ever devised by the human mind.

Space Attack!

Is that all?

I'll have you know I am a very formidable opponent!

Yeah.

And I was Norfolk Space Attack Champion 1985, 1986, 87, and 89.

88 was cancelled, due to illness.

You can do it! You can do it!

The spoon doesn't exist!

It doesn't exist! It's not real!

You can bend it with your mind!

Do it!

Push yourself! Bend the spoon!

Come on! Come on!

Yes!

One-Nil to me!

Boom!

Hah!

Oh, sod this!

Where's the Game Child?!

Ow! Stop it!

Tell me.

Ow!

Yes! Yes!

Oh my God!

What's that?

What am I looking at, where?!

Yes!!!

The spoon doesn't exist!

It doesn't exist!

I told you all!

I know.

I know!

D*cks!

Tell me!

Tell me!

Alright, alright! I'll tell you!

You and your bloody quest!

It's not a quest!

Look, I don't know where the Game Child is.

But!

I can help you, on your journey.

First, you must find the Oracle.

That's the best you can do?!

Oh, and there's this.

Abadgh...

Is that a place in Wales?

I've never followed it up.

Why couldn't you have just told me this in the first place.

Uhh... Just a bit lonely back here.

Do you uhh... Do you ever see her?
