I mean, it kind of was already. They just didn’t notice, being too busy being Zodon’s distraction to realize the time to start trying to leave was more or less as soon as feasible.
This would be a wonderful time for Ron and Tyler to make an appearance with something faster than foot speed and armored against debris as well. They probably need Lester and the Manacle before they get directions out, though.
What, you think it doesn’t already look like the Batcave? Computer terminals, odd weapons, costumes, dimly lit (because he keeps the curtains closed to prevent his being spied on),…
The problem with Cecil getting first a Cloak of Chaos (my term), and a magic staff is that Cecil is supposed to be anti-superhero, anti-magic. His “power” is detecting people with superpowers. But he’s slowly becoming a true magical user, at least with the artifacts he has (the cloaked techno-organic starship in orbit with an advanced AI notwithstanding).
“anti-superhero, anti-magic” is less Cecil’s schtick and more Tyler’s. Cecil is mainly conspiracy theorist/geek, so collecting all sorts of fantastic stuff is still within his concept.
And the shop has become a FLEE market.

Hey, look! Cecil has another trophy item acquired from an adventure to add to his growing collection.
This is not what the Blue Light Special was like at K-Mart.
Has “Please remain stationary” ever worked when an eldritch horror was summoned?
In The Manager’s favor, they did say “please”. This is a significant improvement over “I order you to”.
If it accompanies “This creature reacts to movement” or “You are currently in a warded area, and leaving it will expose you to further danger”, yes.
It also didn’t work well in ‘Mars Attacks!’
If that’s Chaos incoming, Cecil at least is on good terms with them.
Blasting holes in a magic shop seems like a bad idea…
Also glad to see the comic back after its hiatus!
Didn’t we already establish Packman physics? Blast an exit?
A portal or something might work. There is probably around 4 exit methods that would work.
Well, up and down it does. Horizontally, it’s still up in the air.
“Code beige in ASILE five.”
That thing is even warping out the public address system. 😀
Now playing: “As the World Falls Down”.

This comic used to be 3 times a week, now it seams to be once every 3 months.
Yeah, I have to imagine he’s tied up with paying work. I’m hoping this isn’t the beginning of him winding down the story completely.
The three a week schedule was posting already published material.
Yup. At this point I’m also pretty sure Aaron is retired and is only finishing off the stories he’s started, not trying to do them for publishing.
Though he does stay pretty well on top of FFN.
Unfortunately, I think doing three comics at once is stretching Aaron too thin.
Confiscation AND refurbishment? That means things are going to get even more messy…
If they want to sell it after confiscating it, than it HAS to be refurbished.
And Cecil flees with something else to add to his collection.
His bedroom is gonna look like the Batcave soon.

Don’t forget the command chair from the spaceship.

Don’t forget we still have two operatives loose in the
basementGarage not accounted for since last year (a few minutes ago comic time).
