## Plot Summary

Echo Le Blank and Bouquet Dust of the Brecht Brigade are doing their own things around Villestown when they both come across the information that the Engineer is making a new movie. Knowing that their leader is a big fan of guy, they decide to tell Rhode Is-And about it. Rhode, however, is already aware of this knowledge and has already packed to go to Toontown and check it out; wrangling the others into coming with her.

They arrive and soon come across a mime stuck in a box. Echo helps him out of it and asks if he's heard anything about a movie being made. He points them in the direction of an encoded sign. The group are unable to decipher it but Bouquet does write it down to look into in depth later. They continue looking around finding a child with her cat stuck up a tree. Rhode gets the cat down (getting scratched in the process) before asking the girl if she knows where the Engineer is shooting his movie. The little girl doesn't and Rhode visibly deflates because she really, really wants to find the set and see the toon in action.

Bouquet wants to go back to the sign to see if there is anything magical about it. She finds that there is and is able to glean a general location for the group to go to next. As they are travelling however, they hear a shout and discover the Engineer in an alley, chained down and being attacked.

Without thinking, Rhode immediately dives for the fight, pulling out her gun and shooting one of the chains clean off. Bouquet follows, flying right up to the Engineer and slashing at the other chain. This weakens it enough for the Engineer to break it himself. Echo then dive bombs the enemy group, blinding one of them with her camera on her way past. He flails around trying to hit anyone but misses completely before Rhode hits him with her Eldritch blast in retaliation.

At this point, the member of the enemy group (that has been hiding unseen in the shadows) blasts everyone with a cone of ice, damaging the witches and the Engineer (who is vulnerable to the cold). In the process, however, they also freeze all of their allies (not that they seem to care). Hurting and with only one person left to deal with, the Engineer dashes over to them and wraps them up with the chains still attached to him. The figure then sneers at him (calling him by his nickname 'Engie') before dispelling the magic that conjured the chains in the first place. Next they snap their fingers and another merperson appears, ready to attack. Bouquet notices a glazed look in the merperson's eyes and removes the suggestion spell cast over them, causing them to look around at the scene in confusion and panic.

Meanwhile, startled that the unknown figure obviously knows him, the Engineer calls out to the figure in the shadows. They voluntarily drop the shadow spell to reveal that they are Verbay Tim (Victor Tim's wife). She yells at him, angry beyond belief that he had the audacity to make another movie after he got her husband killed. At this stage the others stop fighting and Rhode points out to the grieving woman that no matter what she's going through, she can't just pull hurt others trying to fix her problems. The Engineer then gives her a heartful apology, explaining that he knows that he is partially to blame for Vic's death, that he wishes he could go back and right things and that this movie is his way of trying to pay homage to his good friend. Verbay doesn't respond for a good long while before casting invisibility on herself and fleeing the scene (much to the Engineer's dismay).

As they begin to defrost the other goons, Echo strikes up a conversation with the merperson, learning that the others were initially angry with the Engineer for what they read in the papers and that Verbay used that to get them to join in on her plan (before she took things too far). After a few sharp words to the group about not trying anything like this again, the witches then let them go. The attackers then all scamper off, leaving the party alone. The Engineer thanks them, handing the three business cards and telling them that they are more than welcome on set before he realizes the time and races off. The game then fades out as Rhode begins squealing and shaking the other two in excitement.

## Notes

* This game takes place canonically some time during the time skip in the first the 'Lost and Found' game and the players in it are referenced in the second part of that game (even though this game was played at a later date than 'Lost and Found Part 2')

* The game was played after 'Larry and the Engineer' but canonically takes place before it
