## History

### Professor Proxy's Wild Ride

Proxy first brought the Nerd aboard the bus as a replacement for Ophelia, and the Nerd came on the bus extremely angry and confused, exclaiming "WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE?!" at the first possible moment. After everyone calmed down, he asked Proxy if he has any alcohol, to which Proxy told him that he doesn't, but will add it to the list. He received some Mountain Dew as compensation.

When Proxy proposed a quest for Hi-C Ecto-Cooler, and mentioned how ghost rights were violated in its creation, Kander Jr. and the Nerd immediately started rapidly questioning Proxy about it, their minds going to the dirtiest of places.

When the party arrives at the Whaley House, the Nerd is noticeably the only one not given any ghost-hunting gear by Proxy. When the party went up the door to enter, Corinne, the one who owns the house, asked if they were here to help with the ghosts, but the Nerd tried to make a ruse, saying they're there to take all of her alcohol. She declined his offer, but lets the party in anyway. Due to Corinne's bad eyesight, she could not tell that Sock was a dinosaur, so the Nerd tried to give her his glasses and layered his on top of hers, making her vision even worse. He asked if Corinne has any video games, to which she responds that she doesn't know what those are. This made the Nerd livid, and he yelled at her, asking how she doesn't know what an SNES is, despite the technology not being conceived for another 30 years. When the party went into the kitchen looking for ghosts, the Nerd immediately chugged the gallon of milk in the fridge in one go. When Kander Jr. and Nacho conspire to set Corinne ablaze, the Nerd looks away in disgust. After she was set ablaze and Sock ate her cooked remains, the Nerd returned to the pantry to eat all of her Twinkies.

When the party headed to the master bedroom, the Nerd immediately conspired to defecate on the master bed, but before doing so, Evan received a call on the Spirit Phone from Thomas Whaley, telling him not to, but since Evan thought Thomas was cringe, he did not follow Thomas' warning and encouraged the Nerd to poop on the bed anyway. He squeezed it out, much to Gerard's visible disgust, before Thomas manifested himself out of anger. Kander Jr. immediately pulled out the crucifix Proxy gave him, scaring him away, rendering the Nerd's actions effectively consequence-free for the time being. When Anna manifested after Sock attempted to poop in the bathtub, the Nerd was among those to rapidly sling insults at her once they found out that ectoplasm was made from ghost tears. When Anna and her baby cried, the Nerd followed eagerly with cups to capture their tears within. He did the same for Yankee Jim. When Thomas returned later, the Nerd vomited the milk-Twinkie mixture back up at Thomas, causing him to cry before the ceiling started to collapse.

Thanks to the Nerd's request, Proxy soon took them to prohibition-era America to speak with Al Capone to perhaps do a job for him to get some illegal moonshine. He tasks the Nerd and the rest of the party to kill a man named Ike. The Nerd used his NES Zapper to shoot at Ike's goons and eventually kills Ike with it too. After this, he got a bottle of moonshine all to himself, and promptly chugged the whole thing. After this, he asked Proxy if he had any video games on the bus, and after being told he does, the Nerd left to play Super Mario Bros. 3 on his own.

The Nerd went with the party to Anima Vendide, but did not do much of note other than stealthily stealing a cybernetic pickaxe and some crystals from the mining carcasses. After returning to the bus, he went back to play Super Mario Bros. 3 again.

He did not leave the game room until Patty's second attack knocked out the bus' power, and forced the party to make an emergency landing in Neo Columbus. When the power went out, he got so upset at his game not saving that he punched a hole through Proxy's TV. The Nerd witnessed Gerard's betrayal and was not happy about it. When the bus was raided by P.S.S. grunts, the Nerd repeatedly pestering them to drop their pants, to moderate success. Later in the encounter, the Nerd dropped his pants and launched a diarrhea blast at one of the guards. The Nerd was the last of the party to be detained. The Nerd saw a vision of a tall black man wearing sunglasses before reawakening in a cell. After Gerard freed the party from their cell, the Nerd did not wish to go save Proxy, but reluctantly went along anyway. Before they were able to free Proxy, the Nerd climbed up to a high place within the chrono-disintegration chamber and masturbated, ejaculating all over the ground beneath him. When the party intended to break the chrono-navigator so they could not be tracked, the Nerd aided Kander Jr. in breaking the device before leaving to collect watches for his friends to be able to jump through time with. He reunited with the party shortly thereafter, and he went with them to get a new bus to travel in.
