Batter Days, Chapter 12

Going for the gold

The end of Act I has arrived. With the fate of The Tunnnels on the line, the soldier has the KRULR, better known simply as “Princess,” ready to roll. The bus will take the gang in search of the Waffle Batter sphere. But Cindy is reluctant to leave. It seems she has made a promise that she’s determined to keep. Elsewhere in The Tunnels, Buzz “Scoop” Crackerjack Thomas is busy with his own extremely over-complicated task. And Old Man Spooner makes a shocking discovery that could change his whole world. As if that were not enough, just outside The Tunnels, Captain Broughha continues to behave in a strange manner, much to the dismay of his fellow Magenta Fedoras, Chief and 10 Toes.

The Princess and the Governor

It looks like Captain Broughha has begun to make his move. The KRAWLR assault vehicle has taken up position right outside the entrance to The Tunnels. Or at least the corridor that leads to The Tunnels. Meanwhile, Cindy has asked another person for help in the search for the Waffle Batter sphere. This thing appears to be becoming the worst-kept secret in Middling Fair! But, while the gang has to wait for Princess to arrive at the library end of The Tunnels, we get to jump over to the bus and hear Old Man Spooner sing a song. It may be the last moment of peace we get as the story heats up.

A Towering Connection

Even though Brax Higgins didn’t give Buzz and Haartte much to go on, everyone needs to take their best guess at deciding where to go to search for the Waffle Batter sphere. After all, time is running out. Mayor Rory had only given Cindy a few days to correct the power and water problems the other spheres are causing. Locating the Waffle Batter sphere is critical to saving both The Tunnels and Middling Fair. But, before Buzz can join Cindy and Detective Haartte, who are already trying to decipher Higgins cryptic clues, he must conduct a The Tunnels radio interview with Kipper and Mulligan.

Prison Bound and Determined

Buzz “Scoop’ Crackerjack Thomas and Detective Haartte travel to the town of Convenience to speak with former Little Wicker Baskets executive, Brax Higgins. That could prove awkward. Higgins is currently in jail, and it was an investigation by Thomas and Haartte that put him there. But Buzz and Haartte believe Higgins has information critical to finding the Waffle Batter sphere. If only they could be a certain that he will cooperate. Meanwhile, at Camp Parmenter, Chief and 10 Toes finally start to get some idea of what lies ahead for them when Captain Broughha gives his fellow Magenta Fedoras a briefing.

Lending their voices in this episode are Bonnie Kenderdine as Chief; Paul Barrie, from the A Window to the Magic podcast (windowtothemagic.com), as 10 Toes; and Gary J. Chambers (GaryJChambersVO.com) as Warden Doctor Dewayne Churr and the Narrator.

Let’s make a deal

Buzz has information that could be helpful in locating the Waffle Batter sphere. But Detective Haartte and Cindy are reluctant to let him help.

Bad Note Billy is now constantly practicing his harmonica skills. And yet, he seems to be getting worse as time goes by. Elsewhere, Mayor Rory and Derrick worry about the state of affairs in Middling Fair. The power and water issues are reaching the breaking point. Will things get worse before they get better?
