The Atomic Punk
Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
I’m liking this guy more and more.
Greed and The Tenochtitlan Goblet
Original Character by WMDBASSPLAYER; Story by The Atomic Punk
“Hey, kid, take a picture. It will last longer. No, seriously, take a picture before there’s more than one person here missing a limb.”
“Big score, huh? Yeah, no one knew that this was down here. I designed this nifty detector that can sense rare gems. Archaeologists couldn’t find it. I did. So it’s mine. Well, I was going to take it anyway.”
“You tourists, man, what a bunch of slack-jawed yokels. You have no idea what this cup really is or what it means. Here’s a hint: the legends are true.”
“No, it’s not the Holy Grail. Even though the Conquistadors meant it to be. It has fine jewels and more importantly white gold. You don’t know what that means for my research.”
“Why do I even bother trying to educate you people? There are chemical properties in this that I can use. To do what? Get more gold!”
“You trailer trash vacationing in Mexico. Go back home and buy some more lottery tickets. You want riches? Do what I do, go out and take them!”
“Remember this day, morons. This is the highlight of your summer. You know what? I want more than the chalice. Chalice… the freaking cup! Hand over your wallets.”
