BACK STORY
A grim reaper has spotted that he is meant to pick up a kid that day after a fire in his casino. He doesn't want his casino to burn down, thus he is trying to talk the kid out of it.
@ THE END
Grim sends Kid Kat a note saying that it sort of worked... her mum won't be in ICU buuuut she'll still be at the tables. He signs off 'the UPS boy'.
INITIAL BEATS: SUBJECT TO FUTURE BETTER IDEAS /SUGGESTIONS / CHANGE / ETC :)
ROUGH BEATS
- Kid Kat is running away (in the getaway car) after a deal (with the ice cream truck) re the flamethrower went south.
- Ice cream truck chases Kid Kat (Grim Reaps is also in the car)
- Grim Reaps and Kid Kat having a mundane convo or argument?
- back of ice cream truck opens (a la Purge) and that's causing the chaos destruction
- Kid Kat + Grim Reaps ends up in a large car park (or tram warehouse!) might happen via transformer BP action
- Grim Reaps proceeds to negotiate with Kid Kat re the flamethrower (Grim is holding it hostage)
- They come to a agreement, they'll first try to modify behaviour (win/win), and if that don't work the kid can have the flamethrower.
- Grim calls in Robo and Alex to help with the behavioural modification (explore ethical implications, re changing behaviour for 'good' purposes)
- Robo and Alex works on the modifications (basement of library?)
- IT FAILS
- Grim continues transporting souls (via a Brum Tram :)) when he learns the behavioural thing failed. He doesn't hold up his end of the bargain and does a runner with the flamethrower
- He continues to collect souls: one pick up is OTT goryAF mass pickup... like some sort of gang shootout... it should be funny! :D
- And then he picks up a soul that makes him feel guilty about 1. being selfish and 2. not honouring the agreement. (Q: did Robo & Alex do some behaviour modification shizz to Grim Reaps???? Or maybe switched the order of soul collection)
- While Grim is MIA the kid, Robo and Alex come up with another plan...Robo highlights that Kid Kat don't really wanna burn down the joint (well... maybe a lil!), what she really wants is for her mum to not be in the ICU and not have a gambling addiction... so, they come up with an alternative plan [something to do with time]
- Grim waits for the kid in the casino, he returns the flamethrower and gives her a fire proof suit
- EXECUTE NEW PLAN
- Grim sends Kid Kat a note saying that it sort of worked
